Note 1. Organization

Golub Capital BDC, Inc. (“GBDC” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. GBDC has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, GBDC has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company’s investment strategy is to invest primarily in one stop (a loan that combines characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured loans and second lien or subordinated loans and that are often referred to by other middle-market lenders as unitranche loans) and other senior secured loans of U.S. middle-market companies. The Company also selectively invests in second lien and subordinated (a loan that ranks senior only to a borrower’s equity securities and ranks junior to all of such borrower’s other indebtedness in priority of payment) loans of, and warrants and minority equity securities in, U.S. middle-market companies. The Company has entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement (defined below) with GC Advisors LLC (the “Investment Adviser”), under which the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. Under an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) the Company is provided with certain services by an administrator (the “Administrator”), which is currently Golub Capital LLC.

On September 16, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Golub Capital Investment Corporation (“GCIC”), a Maryland corporation, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 27, 2018, by and among the Company, GCIC, Fifth Ave Subsidiary Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), the Investment Adviser, and, for certain limited purposes, the Administrator. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was first merged with and into GCIC, with GCIC as the surviving company (the “Initial Merger”), and, immediately following the Initial Merger, GCIC was then merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company (the Initial Merger and the subsequent merger, collectively, the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement dated as of September 16, 2019 with the Investment Adviser (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Investment Advisory Agreement replaced the Second Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement by and between the Company and the Investment Adviser dated as of August 4, 2014 (the “Prior Investment Advisory Agreement”). Refer to Note 3 for more information on the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement.

On January 1, 2020 the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with RGA Reinsurance Company (“RGA”), Aurora National Life Assurance Company (“Aurora”), Senior Loan Fund (“SLF”), and GCIC Senior Loan Fund LLC (“GCIC SLF”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, RGA and Aurora (together the “Transferors”) agreed to sell their limited liability company (“LLC”) equity interests in SLF and GCIC SLF, respectively, to the Company, effective as of January 1, 2020. As a result of the Purchase Agreement, on January 1, 2020, SLF and GCIC SLF became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the capital commitments of the Transferors to SLF and GCIC SLF were terminated.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Updates

Basis of presentation:  The Company is an investment company as defined in the accounting and reporting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 — Financial Services  Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”).
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for the interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications consisting solely of normal accruals that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the
89

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Golub Capital BDC, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(In thousands, except shares and per share data)
financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2020, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Fair value of financial instruments:  The Company applies fair value to all of its financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurement (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company has categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.

The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market and the current market conditions. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for financial instruments classified as Level 3.

Any changes to the valuation methodology are reviewed by management and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to confirm that the changes are appropriate. As markets change, new products develop and the pricing for products becomes more or less transparent, the Company will continue to refine its valuation methodologies. See further description of fair value methodology in Note 6. Fair Value Measurements.

Use of estimates:  The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation:  As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Golub Capital BDC CLO 2014 LLC (“2014 Issuer”), Golub Capital BDC CLO III Depositor LLC (“2018 CLO Depositor”), Golub Capital BDC CLO III LLC (“2018 Issuer”), Golub Capital BDC Funding LLC (“Funding”), Golub Capital BDC Funding II LLC (“Funding II”), Golub Capital BDC Holdings, LLC (“BDC Holdings”), GC SBIC IV, L.P. (“SBIC IV”), GC SBIC V, L.P. (“SBIC V”), GC SBIC VI, L.P. (“SBIC VI”), GCIC Holdings LLC (“GCIC Holdings”), GCIC Funding LLC (“GCIC Funding”), GCIC CLO II Depositor LLC (“GCIC 2018 CLO Depositor”), GCIC CLO II LLC (“GCIC 2018 Issuer”), Golub Capital BDC CLO 4 LLC (“2020 Issuer”), Golub Capital BDC CLO 4 Depositor LLC (“2020 CLO Depositor”), GCIC Funding II LLC (“GCIC Funding II”), SLF, Senior Loan Fund II LLC (“SLF II”), GCIC SLF and GCIC Senior Loan Fund II LLC (“GCIC SLF II”). Prior to January 1, 2020, the Company did not consolidate its non-controlling interests in SLF, SLF II, GCIC SLF and GCIC SLF II (collectively, the “Senior Loan Funds” or “SLFs”). See further description of the Company’s previous investments in the SLFs in Note 4. Investments.

Assets related to transactions that do not meet ASC Topic 860 requirements for accounting sale treatment are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as investments. Those assets are owned by special purpose entities, including BDC Holdings, 2014 Issuer, 2018 Issuer, 2020 Issuer, Funding, Funding II, GCIC Funding, GCIC Holdings, GCIC 2018 Issuer and GCIC Funding II that are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The creditors of the special purpose entities have received security interests in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of GBDC (or any affiliate of GBDC).

Cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies: Cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions and, at times, such balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies:  Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies include amounts that are collected and are held by trustees who have been appointed as custodians of the assets securing certain of the Company’s financing transactions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies are held by the trustees for payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings or reinvestment into new assets. In addition, restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies include amounts held within the Company’s small business investment company (“SBIC”) subsidiaries. The amounts held within the SBICs are generally restricted to the originations of new loans by the SBICs and the payment of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) debentures and related interest expense.

Foreign currency translation: The Company’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1)cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, fair value of investments, interest receivable, and other assets and liabilities—at the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and

(2)purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses—at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Fluctuations arising from the translation of assets other than investments and liabilities are included with the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign security and currency transactions involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

Forward currency contracts: A forward currency contract is an obligation between two parties to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Company utilized forward currency contracts to economically hedge the currency exposure associated with certain foreign-denominated investments. The use of forward currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Company owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the exchange rates on the contract date and reporting date and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the contracts are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency contracts is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable.

The primary risks associated with forward currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks can exceed the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Refer to Note 5 for more information regarding the forward currency contracts.

Revenue recognition:

Investments and related investment income:  Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual interest terms of debt investments.

Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and the Company accretes or amortizes such amounts over the life of the loan as interest income. For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, interest income included $4,606 and $3,968, respectively, of accretion of discounts. For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company received loan origination fees of $8,665 and $4,295, respectively.

For investments with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at maturity, the Company will not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not collectible. For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company capitalized PIK interest of $4,725 and $1,633, respectively, into the principal balance of certain debt investments.

In addition, the Company generates revenue in the form of amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees and prepayment premiums on loans. The Company records these fees as fee income when earned. All other income is recorded into income when earned. For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, fee income included $721 and $63, respectively, of prepayment premiums, which fees are non-recurring.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company received interest and fee income in cash, which excludes capitalized loan origination fees, in the amounts of $73,973 and $85,623, respectively.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income 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 securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Each distribution received from LLC and limited partnership (“LP”) investments is evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, excluding the Company's investment in LLC equity interests in the SLFs, the Company recorded dividend income of $160 and $34, respectively, and return of capital distributions, excluding the Company's investment in LLC equity interests in the SLFs, of $0 and $0, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded dividend income of $0 and $1,905, respectively, and return of capital distributions of $0 and $4,375, respectively, from the Company's investment in LLC equity interests in the SLFs.

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. The Company reports current period changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currency translation in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-accrual loans: A loan can be left on accrual status during the period the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan. Management reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal and interest, or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected, for possible placement on non-accrual status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)
and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, payments are likely to remain current. The total fair value of non-accrual loans was $52,860 and $69,315 as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Purchase accounting: The Merger was accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 — Business Combinations — Related Issues (“ASC Topic 805”), also referred to as “purchase accounting.” Under asset acquisition accounting, acquiring assets in groups not only requires ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net assets), but also allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. Per ASC Topic 805, assets are recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity, which generally includes transaction costs of the asset acquisition, and no gain or loss is recognized unless the fair value of noncash assets given as consideration differs from the assets carrying amounts on the acquiring entity’s books.

The cost of the group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on the relative fair values of net identifiable assets acquired other than “non-qualifying” assets (for example cash) and does not give rise to goodwill. To the extent that the consideration paid to GCIC’s stockholders exceeded the relative fair values of the net identifiable assets of GCIC acquired other than “non-qualifying” assets, any such premium paid by the Company was further allocated to the cost of the GCIC assets acquired by the Company pro-rata to their relative fair value, other than “non-qualifying” assets. As GCIC did not have any “qualifying” assets at the time of acquisition, the premium was allocated to “non-qualifying” assets, which are GCIC’s investments in loans and equity securities, including its investment in GCIC SLF. Immediately following the acquisition of GCIC, the Company recorded its assets at their respective fair values and, as a result, the purchase premium allocated to the cost basis of the GCIC assets acquired was immediately recognized as unrealized depreciation on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The purchase premium allocated to investments in loan securities will amortize over the life of the loans through interest income, with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on the loans acquired from GCIC through their ultimate disposition. Amortization expense of purchase premium for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $9,230 and $11,837 respectively. The purchase premium allocated to investments in equity securities will not amortize over the life of the equity securities through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity securities acquired from GCIC and disposition of such equity securities at fair value, the Company will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation upon disposition of the equity securities acquired from GCIC.

The Company's purchase of the equity interests in the Senior Loan Funds was accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805. As of January 1, 2020, the Company allocated the cost to acquire the net assets of the Senior Loans Funds to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the relative fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities. The total consideration transferred by the Company to acquire the Senior Loans Funds was $140,124, which was comprised of $17,011 paid to RGA and Aurora for their minority interests in the Senior Loan Funds and the derecognition of the Company's existing carrying cost of the investments in the Senior Loans Funds, as of January 1, 2020, of $123,113. As of January 1, 2020, the fair value of the net assets of the Senior Loan Funds was $136,088, which resulted in a $4,036 purchase premium that the Company recognized as realized loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Income taxes:  The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify and be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to its stockholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, for each tax year. The Company has made, and intends to continue to make, the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal income taxes with respect to all income distributed to its stockholders.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company can determine to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions and distribute such taxable income in the next tax year. The Company may then be required to incur a 4% excise tax on such income. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar year basis, could exceed estimated
93

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Golub Capital BDC, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(In thousands, except shares and per share data)
current calendar year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. No U.S. deferral excise tax was incurred for each of the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 — Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense or tax benefit in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no material unrecognized tax benefits or unrecognized tax liabilities related to uncertain income tax positions through December 31, 2020. The Company's tax returns for the 2017 through 2019 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

Dividends and distributions:  Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company can retain such capital gains for investment in its discretion.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Board authorizes and the Company declares a cash distribution, then stockholders who participate in the DRIP will have their cash distribution reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution. The Company expects to use newly issued shares under the guidelines of the DRIP if the Company’s shares are trading at a premium to net asset value. The Company can purchase shares in the open market in connection with the obligations under the plan, and in particular, if the Company’s shares are trading at a significant discount to net asset value (“NAV”) and the Company is otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, the Company intends to purchase shares in the open market in connection with any obligations under the DRIP.

In the event the market price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of a distribution exceeds the most recently computed NAV per share of the common stock, the Company will issue shares of common stock to participants in the DRIP at the greater of the most recently computed NAV per share of common stock or 95% of the current market price per share of common stock (or such lesser discount to the current market price per share that still exceeds the most recently computed NAV per share of common stock).

Share repurchase plan: The Company has a share repurchase program (the “Program”) which allows the Company to repurchase the Company’s outstanding common stock on the open market at prices below the Company’s NAV as reported in its most recently published consolidated financial statements. The Board most recently reapproved the Program in August 2020 and the Program is implemented at the discretion of management. Shares can be purchased from time to time at prevailing market prices, through open market transactions, including block transactions. The Program permits repurchases up to $150,000 of the Company's common stock. Prior to August 6, 2019, the Program permitted up to $75,000 in repurchases. The Company did not make any repurchases of its common stock during each of the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Deferred debt issuance costs: Deferred debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the Company had deferred debt issuance costs of $10,822 and $5,896, respectively. These amounts are amortized and included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the estimated average life of the borrowings. Amortization expense for deferred debt issuance costs for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $1,204 and $571, respectively.

Investment Advisory Agreement: Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, GBDC. The Board approved the Investment Advisory Agreement on July 11, 2019. The Board noted that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement did not change the calculation of the Capital Gain Incentive Fee or the management or incentive fee rates and that the changes, as compared to the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, consisted of revisions to (i) exclude the impact of purchase accounting resulting from a merger, including the Merger, from the calculation of income subject to the income incentive fee payable and the calculation of the cumulative incentive fee cap under the Investment Advisory Agreement and (ii) convert the cumulative incentive fee cap into a per share calculation. At a meeting of the Company's stockholders held on September 4, 2019, the Company's stockholders voted to the approve the Investment Advisory Agreement, which was entered into and effective as of September 16, 2019, the closing of the Merger, and will continue for an initial two-year term. The Investment Adviser is a registered investment adviser with the SEC. The Investment Adviser receives fees for providing services, consisting of two components, a base management fee and an Incentive Fee (as defined below).

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate equal to 1.375% of average adjusted gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters (including assets purchased with borrowed funds and securitization-related assets, leverage, unrealized depreciation or appreciation on derivative instruments and cash collateral on deposit with custodian but adjusted to exclude cash and cash equivalents so that investors do not pay the base management fee on such assets) and is payable quarterly in arrears. Additionally, the Investment Adviser voluntarily excludes any assets funded with secured borrowing proceeds from the base management fee calculation. The base management fee is adjusted, based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter, for any share issuances or repurchases during such calendar quarter. For purposes of the Investment Advisory Agreement, cash equivalents mean U.S. government securities and commercial paper instruments maturing within 270 days of purchase (which is different than the GAAP definition, which defines cash equivalents as U.S. government securities and commercial paper instruments maturing within 90 days of purchase). To the extent that the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates provides investment advisory, collateral management or other similar services to a subsidiary of the Company, the base management fee will be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the total fees paid to the Investment Adviser by such subsidiary for such services and (2) the percentage of such subsidiary’s total equity, including membership interests and any class of notes not exclusively held by one or more third parties, that is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company.

The Company has structured the calculation of the Incentive Fee to include a fee limitation such that an Incentive Fee for any quarter can only be paid to the Investment Adviser if, after such payment, the cumulative Incentive Fees paid to the Investment Adviser, calculated on a per share basis, since April 13, 2010, the effective date of the Company’s election to become a BDC, would be less than or equal to 20.0% of the Company’s Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income (as defined below).

The Company accomplishes this limitation by subjecting each quarterly Incentive Fee payable under the Income and Capital Gain Incentive Fee Calculation (as defined below) to a cap (the “Incentive Fee Cap”). The Investment Advisory Agreement, as compared to the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, converts the cumulative incentive fee cap from an aggregate basis calculation to a per share calculation. Under the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, the Incentive Fee would not be paid at any time if, after such payment, the cumulative incentive fees paid to date would be greater than 20.0% of the Company's Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income since April 13, 2010. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Incentive Fee Cap in any quarter is equal to the difference between (a) 20.0% of Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income Per Share (as defined below) and (b) Cumulative Incentive Fees Paid Per Share (as defined below). To the extent the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value in any quarter, no Incentive Fee would be payable in that quarter. If, for any relevant period, the Incentive Fee Cap calculation results in the Company paying less than the amount of the Incentive Fee calculated above, then the difference between the Incentive Fee and the Incentive Fee Cap will not be paid by GBDC and will not be received by the Investment Adviser as an Incentive Fee either at the end of such relevant period or at the end of any future period. “Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income Per Share” equals the sum of “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income Per Share” (as defined below) for each quarterly period since April 13, 2010. “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income Per Share” equals the sum of (i) Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined below) and (ii) Adjusted Capital Returns for the applicable period, divided by (b) the weighted average number of shares of GBDC common stock

outstanding during such period. “Adjusted Capital Returns” for any period is the sum of the realized aggregate capital gains, realized aggregate capital losses, aggregate unrealized capital depreciation and aggregate unrealized capital appreciation for such period; provided that the calculation of realized aggregate capital gains, realized aggregate capital losses, aggregate unrealized capital depreciation and aggregate unrealized capital appreciation shall not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation resulting solely from the purchase accounting for any premium or discount paid for the acquisition of assets in a merger. “Cumulative Incentive Fees Paid Per Share” is equal to the sum of Incentive Fees Paid Per Share since April 13, 2010. “Incentive Fees Paid Per Share” for any period is equal to the Incentive Fees accrued and/or payable to the Company for such period, divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock of GBDC during such period.

“Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the calendar quarter (including the base management fee, taxes, any expenses payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, any expenses of securitizations and any interest expense and dividends paid on any 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 market discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash.

Incentive Fees are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears (or, upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date).

The income and capital gains incentive fee calculation (the “Income and Capital Gain Incentive Fee Calculation”) has two parts, the income component (the “Income Incentive Fee”) and the capital gains component (the “Capital Gain Incentive Fee” and, together with the Income Incentive Fee, the “Incentive Fee”). The Income Incentive Fee is calculated quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Income Incentive Fee incurred was $2,004 and $5,904, respectively.

The Investment Advisory Agreement, as compared to the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, excludes the impact of purchase accounting resulting from a merger, including the Merger, from the calculation of income subject to the Income Incentive Fee and the calculation of the Incentive Fee Cap. As a result, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation or any amortization or accretion of any purchase premium or discount to interest income solely from the purchase accounting for any premium or discount paid for the acquisition of assets in a merger, such as the premium to net asset value paid for the shares of GCIC common stock in the Merger. Because of the structure of the Income Incentive Fee, it is possible that an Incentive Fee is calculated under this formula with respect to a period in which the Company has incurred a loss. For example, if the Company receives Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a calendar quarter, the Income Incentive Fee will result in a positive value and an Incentive Fee will be paid even if the Company has incurred a loss in such period due to realized and/or unrealized capital losses unless the payment of such Incentive Fee would cause the Company to pay Incentive Fees on a cumulative basis that exceed the Incentive Fee Cap.
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any Incentive Fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed “hurdle rate” of 2.0% quarterly. If market interest rates rise, it is possible that the Company will be able to invest funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which would increase Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income and make it easier for the Investment Adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an Incentive Fee based on such net investment income.

The Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its total assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds and securitization-related assets, unrealized depreciation or appreciation on derivative instruments and cash collateral on deposit with custodian) used to calculate the 1.375% base management fee annual rate.

The Company calculates the Income Incentive Fee with respect to its Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income quarterly, in arrears, as follows:

Zero in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate;
100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% in any calendar quarter. This portion of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5%) is referred to as the “catch-up” provision. The catch-up is meant to provide the Investment Adviser with 20.0% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter; and
20.0% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter.

The Capital Gain Incentive Fee equals (a) 20.0% of the Company’s Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base (as defined below), if any, calculated in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), which commenced with the calendar year ending December 31, 2010, less (b) the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gain Incentive Fees. The Capital Gain Incentive Fee is calculated in the same manner under the Investment Advisory Agreement as under the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement. The Company’s “Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base” equals (1) the sum of (i) realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative positive basis from the date the Company elected to become a BDC through the end of each calendar year, (ii) all realized capital losses on a cumulative basis and (iii) all unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis less (2) all unamortized deferred debt issuance costs, if and to the extent such costs exceed all unrealized capital appreciation on a cumulative basis.

The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company’s portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.
The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company’s portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.
The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in the Company’s portfolio as of the applicable Capital Gain Incentive Fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

In accordance with GAAP, the Company also is required to include the aggregate unrealized capital appreciation on investments in the calculation and accrue a capital gain incentive fee on a quarterly basis as if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under either the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement or Investment Advisory Agreement, as applicable. If the Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base, adjusted as required by GAAP to include unrealized capital appreciation, is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires the Company to accrue a capital gain incentive fee equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of the actual Capital Gain Incentive Fees paid and capital gain incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. The resulting accrual under GAAP in a given period results in additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reversal of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. For three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not accrue a capital gain incentive fee. Changes in the accrual for the capital gain incentive fee are included in incentive fee in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2020 and September

30, 2020, there was no cumulative accrual of capital gain incentive fees under GAAP included in management and incentive fees payable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, there was no Capital Gain Incentive Fee payable as calculated under the Investment Advisory Agreement as described above. Any payment due under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement or the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, as applicable, is calculated in arrears at the end of each calendar year.

Administration Agreement:  Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes the Company with office facilities and equipment, provides the Company with clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities and provides the Company with other administrative services as the Administrator, subject to review by the Board, determines necessary to conduct the Company’s day-to-day operations. The Company reimburses the Administrator the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company's allocable portion of the cost of its chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. The Board reviews such expenses to determine that these expenses, including any allocation of expenses among the Company and other entities for which the Administrator provides similar services, are reasonable and comparable to administrative services charged by unaffiliated third party asset managers. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides, on the Company’s behalf, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the Company is required to provide such assistance and will be paid an additional amount based on the cost of the services provided, which amount shall not exceed the amount the Company receives from such portfolio companies.

Included in accounts payable and other liabilities is $1,602 and $1,576 as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, for accrued allocated shared services under the Administration Agreement.

Other related party transactions:  The Administrator pays for certain unaffiliated third-party expenses incurred by the Company. Such expenses include postage, printing, office supplies, rating agency fees and professional fees. These expenses are not marked-up and represent the same amount the Company would have paid had the Company paid the expenses directly. These expenses are subsequently reimbursed in cash.

Total expenses reimbursed to the Administrator during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, were $1,627 and $1,685, respectively.

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, included in accounts payable and other liabilities were $1,475 and $1,627, respectively, for expenses paid on behalf of the Company by the Administrator.

The Company is party to an unsecured revolving credit facility with the Investment Adviser (as amended, the “Adviser Revolver”) which, as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 permits the Company to borrow a maximum of $100,000 and expires on June 21, 2022. Refer to Note 7. Borrowings for discussion of the Adviser Revolver.

As of December 31, 2020, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser held $25,000 of the Company's 2024 Unsecured Notes (discussed in Note 7).

Senior Loan Fund LLC:

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company purchased the remaining equity interests in SLF from RGA and consolidated SLF's assets and liabilities into the Company's financial statements and notes. Prior to January 1, 2020, the Company co-invested with RGA in senior secured loans through SLF, an unconsolidated Delaware LLC. SLF was capitalized as transactions were completed and all portfolio and investment decisions in respect of SLF were approved by the SLF investment committee consisting of two representatives of each of the Company and RGA (with unanimous approval required from (i) one representative of each of the Company and RGA or (ii) both representatives of each of the Company and RGA). SLF could have ceased making new investments upon notification of either member but operations would have continued until all investments were sold or paid-off in the normal course of business. Investments held by SLF were measured at fair value using the same valuation methodologies as described in Note 6.

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company did not receive dividend income from the LLC equity interests in SLF.
See below for certain summarized financial information for SLF for the three months ended December 31, 2019:

GCIC Senior Loan Fund LLC:

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company purchased the remaining equity interests in GCIC SLF from Aurora and consolidated GCIC SLF's assets and liabilities into the Company's financial statements and notes. Following the acquisition of GCIC SLF in the Merger, the Company co-invested with Aurora, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RGA Reinsurance Company, in senior secured loans through GCIC SLF, an unconsolidated Delaware LLC. The Company acquired the investment in GCIC SLF through its acquisition of GCIC on September 16, 2019. GCIC SLF was capitalized as transactions were completed and all portfolio and investment decisions in respect of GCIC SLF were approved by the GCIC SLF investment committee consisting of two representatives of each of the Company and Aurora (with unanimous approval required from (i) one representative of each of the Company and Aurora or (ii) both representatives of each of the Company and Aurora). GCIC SLF could have ceased making new investments upon notification of either member but operations would have continued until all investments were sold or paid-off in the normal course of business. Investments held by GCIC SLF were measured at fair value by GCIC SLF using the same valuation methodologies as described in Note 6.

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company earned $1,905 of dividend income from the LLC equity interest in GCIC SLF.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Company mitigate its counterparty risk, the Company has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with its derivative counterparty, Macquarie Bank Limited (“Macquarie”). The ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Company and Macquarie that governs over the
104

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)
counter (“OTC”) derivatives, including forward currency contracts, and contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Company and cash collateral received from Macquarie, if any, is included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as cash collateral held at broker for forward currency contracts or cash collateral received from broker for forward currency contracts. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

The following table is intended to provide additional information about the effect of the forward currency contracts on the financial statements of the Company including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category, the location of those fair values on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and the Company’s gross and net amount of assets and liabilities available for offset under netting arrangements as well as any related collateral received or pledged by the Company as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020.

Exclusion of the Investment Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition

Engaging in commodity interest transactions such as swap transactions or futures contracts for the Company may cause the Investment Adviser to fall within the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act (the “CEA”) and related Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) regulations. On February 6, 2020, the Investment Adviser claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the CEA and the CFTC regulations in connection with its management of the Company and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration or regulation under the CEA as a commodity pool operator with respect to its management of the Company.


Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC Topic 820 for measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the assets or liabilities or market and the assets’ or liabilities’ complexity. The Company’s fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Assets and liabilities are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1:     Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2:     Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Inputs include significant unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information available and require significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company assesses the levels of assets and liabilities at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers. There were no transfers among Level 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The following section describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure different assets and liabilities at fair value and includes the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the assets and liabilities are categorized.

Investments

Level 1 investments are valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 investments are valued using market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, based on input of management, the audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the Board to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing twelve-month period under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with approximately 25% (based on the number of portfolio companies) of the Company’s valuations of debt and equity investments without readily available market quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm. All investments as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, with the exception of money market funds included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents (Level 1 investments) and forward currency contracts (Level 2 investments), were valued using Level 3 inputs.

When determining fair value of Level 3 debt and equity investments, the Company takes into account the following factors, where relevant: the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons to publicly traded securities, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that affect the price at which similar investments are made and other relevant factors. The primary method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). A portfolio company’s EBITDA can include pro forma adjustments for items such as acquisitions, divestitures, or expense reductions. The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments and to determine if debt investments are credit impaired. If debt investments are credit impaired, the Company will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value. For debt investments that are not determined to be credit impaired, the Company uses a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value.

In addition, for certain debt investments, the Company bases its valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an independent third party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Company and others may be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the Company and others may be willing to accept. The Company generally uses the midpoint of the bid/ask range as its best estimate of fair value of such investment.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the 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 are ultimately received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded. The Company’s investments are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments are traded.

The above tables are not intended to be all-inclusive but rather to provide information on significant unobservable inputs and valuation techniques used by the Company.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and equity investments are EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples and market interest rates. The Company uses EBITDA multiples and, to a lesser extent, revenue multiples on its debt and equity investments to determine any credit gains or losses. Increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The Company uses market interest rates for loans to determine if the effective yield on a loan is commensurate with the market yields for that type of loan. If a loan’s effective yield was significantly less than the market yield for a similar loan with a similar credit profile, then the resulting fair value of the loan may have been lower.

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

ASC Topic 820 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate such value. As a result, with the exception of the line item titled “debt” which is reported at cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition due to their short maturity. Fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting remaining payments using comparable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date, if available.

Note 7. Borrowings

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, prior to February 6, 2019, the Company was allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, was at least 200% after such borrowing. On February 5, 2019, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the asset coverage requirement decrease to 150% from 200% in accordance with Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act. Effective February 6, 2019, the reduced asset coverage requirement permits the Company to have a ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness of 2:1 as compared to a maximum of 1:1 under the 200% asset coverage requirement.  The Company currently intends to target a GAAP debt-to-equity ratio between 0.85 to 1.15x. On September 13, 2011, the Company received exemptive relief from the SEC allowing it to modify the asset coverage requirement to exclude the SBA debentures from its asset coverage calculation. As such, the Company’s ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness could be less than the applicable asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act. This provides the Company with increased investment flexibility but also increases its risks related to leverage. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 216.0% (excluding the SBA debentures).

Debt Securitizations:

On June 5, 2014, the Company completed a $402,569 term debt securitization (“2014 Debt Securitization”). The notes (“2014 Notes”) offered in the 2014 Debt Securitization were issued by the 2014 Issuer and are secured by a diversified portfolio of senior secured and second lien loans held by the 2014 Issuer. The 2014 Debt Securitization initially consisted of $191,000 of Aaa/AAA Class A-1 2014 Notes, $20,000 of Aaa/AAA Class A-2 2014 Notes and $35,000 of Aa2/AA Class B 2014 Notes. In partial consideration for the loans transferred to the 2014 Issuer as part of the 2014 Debt Securitization, the Company received and retained $37,500 of Class C 2014 Notes and $119,069 of LLC equity interests in the 2014 Issuer. On March 23, 2018, the Company and the 2014 Issuer amended the 2014 Debt Securitization to, among other things, (a) refinance the issued Class A-1 2014 Notes by redeeming in full the $191,000 of Class A-1 2014 Notes and issuing new Class A-1-R 2014 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $191,000 that bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 0.95%, which is a decrease from the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.75% of the previously outstanding Class A-1 2014 Notes, (b) refinance the Class A-2 2014 Notes by redeeming in full the $20,000 of Class A-2 2014 Notes and issuing new Class A-2-R 2014 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $20,000 that bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 0.95%, which is a decrease from the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.95% of the previously outstanding Class A-2 2014 Notes, (c) refinance the Class B 2014 Notes by redeeming in full the $35,000 of Class B 2014 Notes and issuing new Class B-R 2014 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $35,000 that bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.40%, which is a decrease from the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 2.50% of the previously outstanding Class B 2014 Notes, (d) refinance the Class C 2014 Notes by redeeming in full the $37,500 of Class C 2014 Notes and issuing new Class C-R 2014 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $37,500 that bear interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.55%, which is a decrease from the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 3.50% of the previously outstanding Class C 2014 Notes. The Class C-R 2014 Notes were retained by the Company.

Through April 28, 2018, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral could have been used by the 2014 Issuer to purchase new collateral under the direction of the Investment Adviser in its capacity as collateral manager of the 2014 Issuer and in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy, allowing the Company to maintain the initial leverage in the 2014 Debt Securitization.

On August 26, 2020, in connection with a new term debt securitization, the 2014 Issuer redeemed the outstanding 2014 Notes pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing such 2014 Notes. Following such redemption, the agreements governed the 2014 Debt Securitization were terminated. The 2014 Notes would have otherwise matured on April 25, 2026.

The pool of loans in the 2014 Debt Securitization were required to meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company had repayments on the 2014 Notes of $6,546.

SBA Debentures: On August 24, 2010, SBIC IV received approval for a license from the SBA to operate as an SBIC. On December 5, 2012, SBIC V received a license from the SBA to operate as an SBIC. On January 10, 2017, SBIC VI received a license from the SBA to operate as an SBIC. SBICs are subject to a variety of regulations and oversight by the SBA concerning the size and nature of the companies in which they invest as well as the structures of those investments.

The licenses allow the SBICs to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures, subject to issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and customary procedures. These debentures are non-recourse to the Company, have interest payable semiannually and a ten-year maturity. The interest rate is fixed at the time of issuance at a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with ten-year maturities.

Under present SBIC regulations, the maximum amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures issued by multiple licensees under common management is $350,000 and the maximum amount issued by a single SBIC licensee is $175,000. As of December 31, 2020, SBIC IV, SBIC V and SBIC VI had $0, $151,750 and $86,000, respectively, of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures that mature between March 2024 and March 2031. As of September 30, 2020, SBIC IV, SBIC V and SBIC VI had $0, $151,750 and $66,000, respectively, of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures that mature between March 2024 and March 2030. The original amount of debentures committed to SBIC IV and SBIC V by the SBA were $150,000 and $175,000, respectively. Through December 31, 2020, SBIC IV and SBIC V have repaid $150,000 and $23,250 of outstanding debentures, respectively, and these commitments have effectively been terminated. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, SBIC VI had $55,450 and $29,000, respectively, of undrawn debenture commitments, of which $9,000 and $29,000, respectively, were available to be drawn, subject to SBA regulatory requirements.

The interest rate on the outstanding debentures as of December 31, 2020 is fixed at an average annualized interest rate of 2.9%. For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the components of interest expense, cash paid for interest, annualized average interest rates and average outstanding balances for the SBA debentures were as follows:

On October 23, 2020, the Company delivered a notice to the lenders under the MS Credit Facility II to permanently decrease the borrowing capacity under the MS Credit Facility II by $75,000, resulting in total borrowing capacity of $325,000.

Effective June 18, 2020, during the Revolving Period, the MS Credit Facility II bears interest at the applicable base rate plus 2.45%. Following expiration of the revolving period, the interest rate on borrowings under the MS Credit Facility II will reset to the applicable base rate plus 2.95% for the remaining term of the MS Credit Facility II. The revolving period will continue through February 1, 2021 unless there is an earlier termination or event of default. The base rate under the MS Credit Facility II is (i) the one-month LIBOR with respect to any advances denominated in U.S. dollars or U.K. pound sterling, (ii) the one-month EURIBOR with respect to any advances denominated in euros, and (iii) the one-month Canadian Dollar Offered Rate with respect to any advances denominated in Canadian dollars. The scheduled maturity date of the MS Credit Facility II is February 1, 2024.
The MS Credit Facility II is secured by all of the assets held by Funding II. Both the Company and Funding II have made customary representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. The borrowings under the MS Credit Facility II will be subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the 1940 Act.

Effective September 16, 2019, the Company assumed as a result of the Merger a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the “DB Credit Facility”) with GCIC Funding II as the borrower and with Deutsche Bank AG, New York branch, as facility agent, the other agents parties thereto, each of the entities from time to time party thereto as securitization subsidiaries and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral agent and as collateral custodian. On October 9, 2020, all outstanding borrowings under the DB Credit Facility were repaid following which the DB Credit Facility was terminated. Prior to its termination, the DB Credit Facility allowed GCIC Funding II to borrow up to $250,000 at any one time outstanding, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions.

The DB Credit Facility bore interest at the applicable base rate plus 1.90% per annum. The base rate under the DB Credit Facility was (i) the three-month Canadian Dollar Offered Rate with respect to any advances denominated in Canadian dollars, (ii) the three-month EURIBOR Interbank Offered Rate with respect to any advances denominated in Euros, (iii) the three-month Bank Bill Swap Rate with respect to any advances denominated in Australian dollars and (iv) the three-month LIBOR with respect to any other advances. A non-usage fee of 0.25% per annum was payable on the undrawn amount under the DB Credit Facility, and an additional fee based on unfunded commitments of the lenders was payable if borrowings under the DB Credit Facility did not exceed a minimum utilization percentage threshold. In addition, a syndication/agent fee was payable to the facility agent each quarter and was calculated based on the aggregate commitments outstanding each day during the preceding collection period at a rate of 1/360 of 0.25% of the aggregate commitments on each day. The reinvestment period of the DB Credit Facility would have expired on December 31, 2021 and the DB Credit Facility would have matured on December 31, 2024.

The DB Credit Facility was secured by all of the assets held by GCIC Funding II. GCIC Funding II made customary representations and warranties and was required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. The borrowings of the Company, including under the DB Credit Facility, were subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the 1940 Act.

The Company transferred certain loans and debt securities it originated or acquired from time to time to GCIC Funding II through a purchase and sale agreement and caused GCIC Funding II to originate or acquire loans, consistent with the Company’s investment objectives.

At any time or from time to time, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2024 Unsecured Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Unsecured Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption) on the 2024 Unsecured Notes to be redeemed through March 15, 2024 (the date falling one month prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Unsecured Notes), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using the applicable Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the Company redeems any 2024 Unsecured Notes on or after March 15, 2024 (the date falling one month prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Unsecured Notes), the redemption price for the Notes will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Unsecured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2024 Unsecured Notes.

Revolver:  On June 22, 2016, the Company entered into the Adviser Revolver with the Investment Adviser with a maximum credit limit of $20,000 and expiration date of June 22, 2019. On June 21, 2019, the Company and the Investment Adviser amended the Adviser Revolver to and among other things, (a) increase the maximum credit limit to $40,000, and (b) change the expiration date to June 21, 2022. On October 28, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the Adviser Revolver to increase the borrowing capacity under the Adviser Revolver from $40,000 to $100,000, and simultaneously terminated the Adviser Revolver II, which had been assumed by the Company as a result of the Merger on September 16, 2019. The Adviser Revolver bears an interest rate equal to the short-term Applicable Federal Rate, which was 0.2% as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the Company had no outstanding debt under the Adviser Revolver. For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $0 and $57,500 in borrowings and $0 and $57,500 in repayments, respectively, on the Adviser Revolver.

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred no interest expense and paid no cash on the Adviser Revolver II.

Other Short-Term Borrowings:  Borrowings with original maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term.  The Company’s short-term borrowings are the result of investments that were sold under repurchase agreements.  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 and remains as an investment on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the Company had no short-term borrowings. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the annualized effective interest rate on short-term borrowings was 5.0% and interest expense was $818.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, the average total debt outstanding (including the debt under the 2018 Debt Securitization, the GCIC 2018 Debt Securitization, the 2020 Debt Securitization, the SBA Debentures, the MS Credit Facility II, the WF Credit Facility, the DB Credit Facility, the 2024 Unsecured Notes and the Adviser Revolver) was $2,086,099. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the average total debt outstanding (including the debt under the 2014 Debt Securitization, the 2018 Debt Securitization, the GCIC 2018 Debt Securitization, the SBA Debentures, the MS Credit Facility II, WF Credit Facility, DB Credit Facility, Adviser Revolver, Adviser
Revolver II and Other Short-Term Borrowings) was $2,284,590.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments: As of December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $169,706, including $43,465 of commitments on undrawn revolvers. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $141,795, including $41,644 of commitments on undrawn revolvers.

Indemnifications:  In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as these involve future claims against the Company that have not occurred. The Company expects the risk of any future obligations under these indemnifications to be remote.
Off-balance sheet risk: Off-balance sheet risk refers to an unrecorded potential liability that may result in a future obligation or loss, even though it does not appear on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company has entered and, in the future, may again enter into derivative instruments that contain elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. Refer to Note 5 for outstanding forward currency contracts as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020. Derivative instruments can be affected by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, which could impact the fair value of the derivative instruments. If market conditions move against the Company, it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the derivative instruments and may realize a loss. The Company minimizes market risk through monitoring its investments and borrowings.

Concentration of credit and counterparty risk:  Credit risk arises primarily from the potential inability of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Company has engaged and, in the future, may engage again in derivative transactions with counterparties. In the event that the counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparties or issuers of the instruments. The Company’s maximum loss that it could incur related to counterparty risk on its derivative instruments is the value of the collateral for that respective derivative instrument. It is the Company’s policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.

Legal proceedings:  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to legal and regulatory proceedings that are generally incidental to its ongoing operations. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings, the Company does not believe any disposition will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. As a business development company and a RIC, we are also subject to certain constraints, including limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the Code.

Our shares are currently listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “GBDC”.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in one stop (a loan that combines characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured loans and second lien or subordinated loans and that are often referred to by other middle-market lenders as unitranche loans) and other senior secured loans of U.S. middle-market companies. We also selectively invest in second lien and subordinated loans of, and warrants and minority equity securities in U.S. middle-market companies. We intend to achieve our investment objective by (1) accessing the established loan origination channels developed by Golub Capital, a leading lender to U.S. middle-market companies with over $35.0 billion in capital under management as of December 31, 2020, (2) selecting investments within our core middle-market company focus, (3) partnering with experienced private equity firms, or sponsors, in many cases with whom Golub Capital has invested alongside in the past, (4) implementing the disciplined underwriting standards of Golub Capital and (5) drawing upon the aggregate experience and resources of Golub Capital.

Our investment activities are managed by GC Advisors and supervised by our board of directors of which a majority of the members are independent of us, GC Advisors and its affiliates.

Under an investment advisory agreement, or the Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay GC Advisors an annual base management fee based on our average adjusted gross assets as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. The Investment Advisory Agreement was approved by our board of directors in July 2019 and by our stockholders in September 2019. The Investment Advisory Agreement was entered into effective as of September 16, 2019 and will continue for an initial two-year term. Under an administration agreement, or the Administration Agreement, we are provided with certain administrative services by an administrator, or the Administrator, which is currently Golub Capital LLC. Under the Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse the Administrator for our allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of our independent directors) of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

We seek to create a portfolio that includes primarily one stop and other senior secured loans by primarily investing approximately $10.0 million to $75.0 million of capital, on average, in the securities of U.S. middle-market companies. We also selectively invest more than $75.0 million in some of our portfolio companies and generally expect that the size of our individual investments will vary proportionately with the size of our capital base.

We generally invest in securities that have been rated below investment grade by independent rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. These securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. In addition, many of our debt investments have floating interest rates that reset on a periodic basis and typically do not fully pay down principal prior to maturity, which may increase our risk of losing part or all of our investment.

One stop loans include loans to technology companies undergoing strong growth due to new services, increased adoption and/or entry into new markets. We refer to loans to these companies as late stage lending loans or recurring revenue loans. Other targeted characteristics of late stage lending businesses include strong customer revenue retention rates, a diversified customer base and backing from growth equity or venture capital firms. In some cases, the borrower’s high revenue growth is supported by a high level of discretionary spending. As part of the underwriting of such loans and consistent with industry practice, we adjust our characterization of the earnings of such borrowers for a reduction or elimination of such discretionary expenses, if appropriate. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, one stop loans included $463.0 million and $430.2 million, respectively, of late stage lending loans at fair value.

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we had debt and equity investments in 253 and 254 portfolio companies, respectively.

The following table shows the weighted average income yield and weighted average investment income yield of our earning portfolio company investments, which represented nearly 100% of our debt investments, as well as the total return based on our average net asset value, and the total return based on the change in the quoted market price of our stock and assuming distributions were reinvested in accordance with our dividend reinvestment plan, or DRIP, in each case for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Revenues: We generate revenue in the form of interest and fee income on debt investments and capital gains and distributions, if any, on portfolio company investments that we originate or acquire. Our debt investments, whether
130

in the form of senior secured, one stop, second lien or subordinated loans, typically have a term of three to seven years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. In some cases, our investments provide for deferred interest payments or payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest. The principal amount of loans and any accrued but unpaid interest generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans as fee income. For additional details on revenues, see “Critical Accounting Policies—Revenue Recognition.”

We recognize realized gains or losses on investments based on the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of the investment or derivative instrument, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We record current period changes in fair value of investments and derivative instruments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment transactions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Expenses:  Our primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to GC Advisors under the Investment Advisory Agreement and interest expense on our outstanding debt. We bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including:

calculating our net asset value, or NAV (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);
fees and expenses incurred by GC Advisors payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, in monitoring financial and legal affairs for us and in monitoring our investments and performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies or otherwise relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments, which fees and expenses include, among other items, due diligence reports, appraisal reports, any studies commissioned by GC Advisors and travel and lodging expenses;
expenses related to unsuccessful portfolio acquisition efforts;
offerings of our common stock and other securities;
administration fees and expenses, if any, payable under the Administration Agreement (including payments based upon our allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs);
fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments in portfolio companies, including costs associated with meeting financial sponsors;
transfer agent, dividend agent and custodial fees and expenses;
U.S. federal and state registration and franchise fees;
all costs of registration and listing our shares on any securities exchange;
U.S. federal, state and local taxes;
independent directors’ fees and expenses;
costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents required by the SEC or other regulators;
costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to stockholders, including printing costs;
costs associated with individual or group stockholders;
costs associated with compliance under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
our allocable portion of any fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;
direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone, copying, secretarial and other staff, independent auditors and outside legal costs;
proxy voting expenses; and
131

all other expenses incurred by us or the Administrator in connection with administering our business.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable or decline as a percentage of total assets during periods of asset growth and to increase during periods of asset declines.

Prior to the redemption of the 2014 Notes (as defined in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements) and termination of the documents governing the 2014 Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements) on August 26, 2020, GC Advisors, served as collateral manager for Golub Capital BDC 2014-LLC, or the 2014 Issuer, our wholly-owned subsidiary, under a collateral management agreement, or the 2014 Collateral Management Agreement, and was entitled to receive an annual fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the principal balance of the portfolio loans held by the 2014 Issuer at the beginning of the collection period relating to each payment date, which was payable in arrears on each payment date. Under the 2014 Collateral Management Agreement, the term ‘‘collection period’’ referred to a quarterly period running from the day after the end of the prior collection period to the tenth business day prior to the payment date.

GC Advisors, as collateral manager for Golub Capital BDC CLO III LLC, or the 2018 Issuer, under a collateral management agreement, or the 2018 Collateral Management Agreement, is entitled to receive an annual fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the principal balance of the portfolio loans held by the 2018 Issuer at the beginning of the collection period relating to each payment date, which is payable in arrears on each payment date. Under the 2018 Collateral Management Agreement, the term "collection period" refers to the period commencing on the third business day prior to the preceding payment date and ending on (but excluding) the third business day prior to such payment date.

GC Advisors, as collateral manager for Golub Capital Investment Corporation CLO II LLC, or the GCIC 2018 Issuer, under a collateral management agreement, or the GCIC 2018 Collateral Management Agreement, is entitled to receive an annual fee in an amount equal to 0.35% of the principal balance of the portfolio loans held by the GCIC 2018 Issuer at the beginning of the collection period relating to each payment date, which is payable in arrears on each payment date. Under the 2018 GCIC Collateral Management Agreement, the term “collection period” generally refers to a quarterly period commencing on the day after the end of the prior collection period to the tenth business day prior to the payment date.

GC Advisors, as collateral manager for Golub Capital BDC CLO 4 LLC, or the 2020 Issuer, under a collateral management agreement, or the 2020 Collateral Management Agreement, is entitled to receive an annual fee in an amount equal to 0.35% of the principal balance of the portfolio loans held by the 2020 Issuer at the beginning of the collection period relating to each payment date, which is payable in arrears on each payment date. Under the 2020 Collateral Management Agreement, the term “collection period” generally refers to a quarterly period commencing on the day after the end of the prior collection period to the tenth business day prior to the payment date.

Collateral management fees were paid directly by the 2014 Issuer and are paid directly by the 2018 Issuer, GCIC 2018 Issuer and 2020 Issuer to GC Advisors and are offset against the management fees payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, the 2014 Issuer paid Wells Fargo Securities, LLC structuring and placement fees for its services in connection with the initial structuring and subsequent amendments to the initial structuring of the 2014 Debt Securitization. The 2018 Issuer paid Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC structuring and placement fees for its services in connection with the structuring of the 2018 Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements). Before we acquired the GCIC 2018 Issuer as part of our acquisition of GCIC, as defined in the “GCIC Acquisition” section below, the GCIC 2018 Issuer paid Wells Fargo Securities, LLC structuring and placement fees for its services in connection with the initial structuring of the GCIC 2018 Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements). The 2020 Issuer paid Wells Fargo Securities, LLC structuring and placement fees for its services in connection with the structuring of the 2020 Debt Securitization (as defined in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements). Term debt securitizations are also known as collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, and are a form of secured financing incurred by us, which are consolidated by us and subject to our overall asset coverage requirement. The 2018 Issuer, GCIC 2018 Issuer and 2020 Issuer also agreed to pay ongoing administrative expenses to the trustee, collateral manager, independent accountants, legal counsel, rating agencies and independent managers in connection with developing and maintaining reports, and providing required services in connection with the administration of the 2018 Debt Securitization, GCIC 2018 Debt Securitization and 2020 Debt Securitization, and collectively the Debt Securitizations, as applicable.

132

We believe that these administrative expenses approximate the amount of ongoing fees and expenses that we would be required to pay in connection with a traditional secured credit facility. Our common stockholders indirectly bear all of these expenses.

GCIC Acquisition

On September 16, 2019, we completed our acquisition of Golub Capital Investment Corporation, or GCIC, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended, or the Merger Agreement, dated November 27, 2018, by and among us, GCIC, Fifth Ave Subsidiary Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, or Merger Sub, GC Advisors, and, for certain limited purposes, the Administrator. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was first merged with and into GCIC, or the Initial Merger, with GCIC as the surviving company and immediately following the Initial Merger, GCIC was then merged with and into us, the Initial Merger and subsequent merger referred to as the Merger, with us as the surviving company.

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of GCIC’s common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.865 shares of our common stock (with GCIC’s stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock). As a result of the Merger, we issued an aggregate of 71,779,964 shares of our common stock to former stockholders of GCIC.

SLF and GCIC SLF Purchase Agreement

On January 1, 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with RGA Reinsurance Company, or RGA, Aurora National Life Assurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RGA, or Aurora and, together with RGA, the Transferors, Senior Loan Fund LLC, or SLF, and GCIC Senior Loan Fund LLC, or GCIC SLF. Prior to entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Transferors owned 12.5% of the LLC equity interests in each Senior Loan Fund, while we owned the remaining 87.5% of the LLC equity interests in each Senior Loan Fund. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, RGA and Aurora agreed to sell their LLC equity interests in each Senior Loan Fund to us, effective as of January 1, 2020. As consideration for the purchase of the LLC equity interests, we paid each Transferor an amount, in cash, equal to the net asset value of such Transferor's Senior Loan Fund LLC equity interests as of December 31, 2019, or the Net Asset Value, along with interest on such Net Asset Value accrued from the date of the Purchase Agreement through, but excluding, the payment date at a rate equal to the short-term applicable federal rate. In February 2020, we paid an aggregate of $17.0 million to the Transferors to acquire their respective LLC interests in the Senior Loan Funds.

As a result of the Purchase Agreement, on January 1, 2020, SLF and GCIC SLF became our wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, our capital commitments and those of the Transferors were terminated. As wholly-owned subsidiaries, the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Senior Loan Funds were consolidated into our financial statements and notes thereto for periods ending on or after January 1, 2020, and are included for purposes of determining our asset coverage ratio.

Rights Offering

On May 15, 2020, we completed a transferable rights offering. We issued to stockholders of record on April 8, 2020 one transferable right for each four shares of our common stock held on the record date. Each holder of rights was entitled to subscribe for one share of common stock for every right held at a subscription price of $9.17 per share. On May 15, 2020, we issued a total of 33,451,902 shares. Net proceeds after deducting the dealer manager fees and other offering expenses were approximately $300.4 million. 3,191,448 shares were purchased in the rights offering by affiliates of GC Advisors.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The rapid spread of COVID-19, which has been identified as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, resulted in governmental authorities imposing restrictions on travel and the temporary closure of many corporate offices, retail stores, restaurants, healthcare facilities, fitness clubs and manufacturing facilities and factories in affected jurisdictions. The pandemic and the resulting economic dislocations have had adverse consequences for the business operations of some of our portfolio companies and has adversely affected, and threatens to continue to adversely affect, our operations and the operations of GC Advisors (including those relating to us). GC Advisors has been monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business and the business of our portfolio
133

companies and has been focused on proactively engaging with our portfolio companies in order to collaborate with the management teams of certain portfolio companies to assess and evaluate the steps each portfolio company can take in response to the impacts of COVID-19.

We cannot predict the full impact of the coronavirus, including the duration of the closures and restrictions described above. While several countries, as well as certain states in the United States, lifted or reduced certain travel restrictions, business closures and other quarantine measures, recurring COVID-19 outbreaks have led to the re-introduction of such restrictions in certain states in the United States and globally and could continue to lead to the re-introduction of such restrictions elsewhere. As a result, we are unable to predict the duration of business and supply-chain disruptions, the extent to which COVID-19 will negatively affect our portfolio companies’ operating results or the impact that such disruptions may have on our results of operations and financial condition. Depending on the duration and extent of the disruption to the business operations of our portfolio companies, we expect some portfolio companies, particularly those in vulnerable industries such as retail and travel, to experience financial distress and possibly to default on their financial obligations to us and their other capital providers. In addition, if such portfolio companies are subjected to prolonged and severe financial distress, we expect some of them to substantially curtail their operations, defer capital expenditures and lay off workers. These developments would be likely to permanently impair their businesses and result in a reduction in the value of our investments in them.

Business disruption and financial distress experienced by our portfolio companies is likely to reduce, over time, the amount of interest and dividend income that we receive from our investments and has in the past and may in the future require us to contribute additional capital to such companies in the form of follow on investments. Any restructuring of the capitalization of our portfolio companies required by any business disruption or financial distress could result in reduced interest payments or permanent impairments on our investments. Any such decrease in our net investment income would increase the percentage of our cash flows dedicated to debt service and distribution payments to stockholders. If these amounts become unsustainable, we may be required to reduce the amount of our future distributions to stockholders. In the first half of calendar year 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic began to the impact the U.S. economy, we proactively and aggressively commenced on a number of actions to support and evaluate our portfolio companies, including gathering full information from a variety of sources including third-party experts, management teams of our borrowers, the private equity sponsor owners of our borrowers and other sources and immediate outreach to our private equity sponsor partners to establish candid, two-way, real-time communications. We believe these actions have led and will lead to increased and better solutions for our borrowers and believe our long-term relationships with these sponsors will create appropriate incentives for them to collaborate with us to address such portfolio company needs.

We have experienced a meaningful reversal of some of the unrealized depreciation recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as the U.S. economy began reopening sooner than expected, portfolio companies generally performed better than expected, especially those in COVID-impacted sub-sectors, and private equity sponsors have generally stepped up to support their portfolio companies. Due to the resurgence of COVID-19 in some parts of the country, we remain cautious and concerned about the on-going impacts to the U.S. economy from COVID-19, but the positive trends identified above contributed to strong financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, subject to certain limited exceptions, we were allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing. Our revolving credit facilities, described in Note 7 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, include customary covenants and events of default. Any failure on our part to make required payments under such facilities or to comply with such covenants could result in a default under the applicable credit facility or debt instrument. If we are unable to cure such default or obtain a waiver from the applicable lender or holder, we would experience an event of default, and the applicable lender or holder could accelerate the repayment of such indebtedness, which would negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We are also subject to financial risks, including changes in market interest rates. Many of the loans in our portfolio have floating interest rates, and we expect that our loans in the future will also have floating interest rates. The interest rates of such loans are based upon a floating interest rate index, typically LIBOR, together with a spread, or margin. They generally also feature interest rate reset provisions that adjust the interest rates under such loans to current market rates on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2020, over 90% of our floating rate loans at fair value were subject to a minimum base rate, or floor, that we charge on our loans if the applicable interest rate index falls below such floor. Certain of the notes issued in each of the 2018 Debt Securitization, the GCIC 2018 Debt Securitization and the 2020 Debt Securitization have floating rate interest provisions. In addition, our revolving credit facilities also have floating rate interest provisions. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related decision of the U.S. Federal Reserve to reduce certain interest rates, LIBOR decreased beginning in March 2020. A
134

prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in LIBOR are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over LIBOR that we earn on such loans, a decrease in the income incentive fee as a result of our 8% hurdle rate or a decrease in the interest rate of our floating interest rate liabilities tied to LIBOR. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for an analysis of the impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.

We and GC Advisors continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and future recommendations from such authorities may further impact our business operations and financial results. In such circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our plan of operation. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in future periods.

Recent Developments

On January 29, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the MS Credit Facility II (as defined in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements) that extended the reinvestment period to May 3, 2021 from February 1, 2021, extended the maturity date to May 1, 2024 from February 1, 2024 and reduced borrowing capacity to $250.0 million from $325.0 million.

On February 5, 2021, our board of directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.29 per share, which is payable on March 30, 2021 to holders of record as of March 5, 2021.

Net income can vary substantially from period to period for various reasons, including the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, annual comparisons of net income may not be meaningful.

On September 16, 2019, we completed our acquisition of GCIC. The acquisition was accounted for under the asset acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 805-50, Business Combinations — Related Issues. Under asset acquisition accounting, where the consideration paid to GCIC’s stockholders exceeded the relative fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the premium paid by us was allocated to the cost of the GCIC assets acquired by us pro-rata based on their relative fair value. Immediately following the acquisition of GCIC, we recorded its assets at their respective fair values and, as a result, the purchase premium allocated to the cost basis of the GCIC assets acquired was immediately recognized as unrealized depreciation on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. The purchase premium allocated to investments in loan securities will amortize over the life of the loans through interest income with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation on such loans acquired through their ultimate disposition. The purchase premium allocated to investments in equity securities will not amortize over the life of the equity securities through interest income and, assuming no subsequent change to the fair value of the equity securities acquired from GCIC and disposition of such equity securities at fair value, we will recognize a realized loss with a corresponding reversal of the unrealized depreciation upon disposition of the equity securities acquired.

As a supplement to our GAAP financial measures, we have provided the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful for the reasons described below:
“Adjusted Net Investment Income” - excludes the amortization of the purchase price premium and the accrual for the capital gain incentive fee (including the portion of such accrual that is not payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement) from net investment income calculated in accordance with GAAP;
“Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)” - excludes the unrealized loss resulting from the purchase premium write-down and the corresponding reversal of the unrealized loss resulting from the amortization of the premium on loans or from the sale of equity investments from the determination of realized and unrealized gain/(loss) determined in accordance with GAAP; and
“Adjusted Net Income/(Loss)” – calculates net income and earnings per share based on Adjusted Net Investment Income and Adjusted Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss).

We believe that excluding the financial impact of the purchase premium in the above non-GAAP financial measures is useful for investors as this is a non-cash expense/loss and is one method we use to measure our results of operations.

Although these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

Investment Income

Investment income decreased from the three months ended December 31, 2019 to the three months ended December 31, 2020 by $4.6 million primarily due to a decrease in LIBOR and the slight decrease in the average earning debt investments balance, partially offset by a reduction of GCIC acquisition purchase price premium amortization of $2.6 million. As of December 31, 2019, 3-month LIBOR was 1.9% compared to 0.2% as of December 31, 2020. Due to

The annualized income yield by debt security type for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows:
Three months ended
  December 31, 2020December 31, 2019
Senior secured6.5%6.9%
One stop7.6%8.1%
Second lien10.9%11.3%
Subordinated debt10.7%10.4%

Income yields on one stop and senior secured loans decreased for the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in the average LIBOR for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019, which was partially offset due to over 90% of our loans at fair value have a weighted average LIBOR floor of 1.01%. As of December 31, 2020, we have six second lien investments and three subordinated debt investments as shown in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Due to the limited number of second lien and subordinated debt investments, income yields on second lien and subordinated debt investments can be significantly impacted by the addition, subtraction or refinancing of one investment.

Average debt outstanding$2,086,099 $2,284,590 $(198,491)

Interest Expense

Interest and other debt financing expenses decreased by $7.8 million from the three months ended December 31, 2019 to the three months ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in LIBOR on our floating rate facilities for the three months ended December 31, 2020 from the three months ended December 31, 2019. For more information about our outstanding borrowings for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, including the terms thereof, see Note 7. Borrowings in the notes to our consolidated financial statements and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the effective annualized average interest rate, which includes amortization of debt financing costs, amortization of discounts on notes issued and non-usage facility fees, on our total debt was 2.9% and 3.9%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a lower average LIBOR, partially offset by the issuance of the 2024 Unsecured Notes (as defined in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements) that bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.375%.

Management Fee

The base management fee slightly increased from the three months ended December 31, 2019 to the three months ended December 31, 2020 as a result of a slight increase in average adjusted gross assets from 2019 to 2020.

Incentive Fees

The incentive fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement consists of two parts: (1) the income component, or the Income Incentive Fee, and (2) the capital gains component, or the Capital Gain Incentive Fee. The Income Incentive Fee decreased by $3.9 million from the three months ended December 31, 2019 to the three months ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to a lower rate of return on the value of our net assets driven by a decrease in LIBOR, partially offset by an increase in Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements). As we remain in the “catch-up provision of the calculation of the Income Incentive Fee, an increase in net investment income causes a corresponding increase in the Income Incentive Fee until we are fully through the catch-up. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, while still not fully through the “catch-up provision of the Income Incentive Fee calculation, the Income Incentive Fee as a percentage of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income decreased to 4.9% compared to 15.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

For each of the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no Capital Gain Incentive Fee payable as calculated under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In accordance with GAAP, we are required to include the aggregate unrealized capital appreciation on investments in the calculation and accrue a capital gain incentive fee as if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. There was no capital gain incentive fee accrual calculated in accordance with GAAP as of December 31, 2020 and
138

September 30, 2020. Any payment due under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement is calculated in arrears at the end of each calendar year. No Capital Gain Incentive Fees as calculated under the Investment Advisory Agreement or any prior investment advisory agreements, as applicable, have been payable since December 31, 2018.

For additional details on unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments, refer to the “Net Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses” section below.

Professional Fees, Administrative Service Fee, and General and Administrative Expenses

In total, professional fees, the administrative service fee, and general and administrative expenses increased slightly from the three months ended December 31, 2019 to the three months ended December 31, 2020. In general, we expect certain of our operating expenses, including professional fees, the administrative service fee, and other general and administrative expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets during periods of growth other than as a result of a merger or other large acquisition and increase as a percentage of our total assets during periods of asset declines.

The Administrator pays for certain expenses incurred by us. These expenses are subsequently reimbursed in cash. Total expenses reimbursed to the Administrator during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, were $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, included in accounts payable and other liabilities were $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for expenses paid on behalf of us by the Administrator.

(1)Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in SLF and GCIC SLF includes our investments in LLC equity interests in SLF and GCIC SLF. The investment in GCIC SLF was acquired by us in the Merger. On January 1, 2020, SLF and GCIC SLF became our wholly-owned subsidiaries and the assets and liabilities of the Senior Loan Funds were consolidated into us.
During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we had a net realized loss of $2.4 million primarily attributable to recognized realized losses on the restructure, sale, or write-off on multiple portfolio companies, partially offset by net realized gains from the sale of equity investments in multiple portfolio companies.

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, we had a net realized gain of $2.5 million primarily due to sale of equity investments in multiple portfolio companies.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, we had $74.7 million in unrealized appreciation on 193 portfolio company investments, which was offset by $11.6 million in unrealized depreciation on 75 portfolio company investments. Unrealized appreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2020 primarily resulted from better than expected performance of our portfolio companies and credit market conditions beginning to recover. Unrealized depreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2020 primarily resulted from decreases in the fair value in many of our portfolio company investments due to the adverse economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the continuing uncertainty surrounding its long-term impact and increases in the spread between the yields realized on risk-free and higher risk securities.
139


For the three months ended December 31, 2019, we had $38.1 million in unrealized appreciation on 222 portfolio company investments, which was offset by $21.7 million in unrealized depreciation on 218 portfolio company investments. Unrealized appreciation during the three months ended December 31, 2019 resulted from an increase in fair value primarily due to the rise in market prices of portfolio company investments and the reversal of the net unrealized depreciation associated with the sale or restructure of a few portfolio company investments. Besides the unrealized depreciation recognized due to the purchase premium write-down, unrealized depreciation resulted from the amortization of discounts, negative credit related adjustments that caused a reduction in fair value and the reversal of the net unrealized appreciation associated with the sale of portfolio company investments during the three months ended December 31, 2019.

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, we had $0.2 million in unrealized depreciation on our investments
in SLF and GCIC SLF LLC equity interests. The unrealized appreciation on our investment in SLF of $0.5 million
was primarily driven by net investment income earned by SLF netted against negative credit adjustments at SLF.
The unrealized depreciation on our investment in GCIC SLF of $0.7 million was primarily driven by net investment
income earned by GCIC SLF netted against dividends GCIC SLF paid to us of $1.9 million during the three months
ended December 31, 2019. We did not receive any dividends from SLF during the three months ended December
31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents, foreign currencies, restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies of $86.5 million. During the period, cash used in operating activities was $164.9 million, primarily as a result of fundings of portfolio investments of $490.0 million, partially offset by the proceeds from principal payments and sales of portfolio investments of $278.7 million and net investment income of $39.0 million. Lastly, cash provided by financing activities was $251.4 million, primarily driven by borrowings on debt of $797.4 million, partially offset by repayments of debt of $491.3 million, distributions paid of $33.8 million, and repurchases of common stock under the DRIP of $14.7 million.

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, we experienced a net increase in cash, cash equivalents, foreign currencies, restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies of $49.1 million. During the period, cash used in operating activities was $111.8 million, primarily as a result of fundings of portfolio investments of $296.8 million, partially offset by the proceeds from principal payments and sales of portfolio investments of $154.3 million and net investment income of $32.7 million. Lastly, cash provided by financing activities was $160.9 million, primarily driven by borrowings on debt of $332.0 million and proceeds from short-term borrowings of $64.8 million that were partially offset by repayments of debt of $193.9 million and distributions paid of $40.8 million.

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $26.5 million and $24.6 million, respectively. In addition, we had foreign currencies of $0.5 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, restricted cash and cash equivalents of $242.8 million and $157.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and restricted foreign currencies of $1.4 million and $1.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents and foreign currencies are available to fund new investments, pay operating expenses and pay distributions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies can be used to pay principal and interest on borrowings and to fund new investments that meet the guidelines under our debt securitizations or credit facilities, as applicable.

This “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section should be read in conjunction with the “COVID-19 Developments" section above.

Revolving Debt Facilities

We entered into the Adviser Revolver in order to have the ability to borrow funds on a short-term basis and have in the past repaid, and generally intend in the future to repay, borrowings under the Adviser Revolver within 30 to 45 days from which they are drawn. As of each of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we had no amounts outstanding on the Adviser Revolver.

Debt Securitizations

2014 Debt Securitization - On August 26, 2020, in conjunction with the 2020 Debt Securitization, the 2014 Notes were redeemed and following such redemption, the agreements governing the 2014 Debt Securitization were terminated.

2018 Debt Securitization - On November 16, 2018, we completed the 2018 Debt Securitization. The Class A, Class B and Class C-1 2018 Notes are included in the December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as our debt and the Class C-2, Class D and Subordinated 2018 Notes were eliminated in consolidation.

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we had outstanding debt under the 2020 Debt Securitization of $189.0 million and $189.0 million, respectively.

Due to the interplay of the 1940 Act restrictions on principal and joint transactions and the U.S. risk retention rules adopted pursuant to Section 941 of Dodd-Frank, as a business development company, we sought and received no action relief from the SEC to ensure we could engage in CLO financings in which assets are transferred through GC Advisors.

SBA Debentures

Under present small business investment company, or SBIC, regulations, the maximum amount of debentures guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, or SBA, issued by multiple licensees under common management is $350.0 million and the maximum amount issued by a single SBIC licensee is $175.0 million. As of December 31, 2020, GC SBIC IV, L.P., or SBIC IV, GC SBIC V, L.P., or SBIC V, and GC SBIC VI, L.P., or SBIC VI, had $0, $151.8 million, and $86.0 million, respectively, of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures that mature between March 2024 and March 2031. As of September 30, 2020, SBIC IV, SBIC V and SBIC VI, had $0, $151.8 million and $66.0 million, respectively, of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures that mature between March 2024 and March 2030. The original amount of debentures committed to SBIC IV and SBIC V by the SBA were $150.0 million and $175.0 million, respectively. Through December 31, 2020, SBIC IV and SBIC V have repaid $150.0 million and $23.3 million of outstanding debentures, respectively, and these commitments have effectively been terminated. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, SBIC VI had $55.5 million and $29.0 million, respectively, of undrawn debenture commitments, of which $9.0 million and $29.0 million, respectively, were available to be drawn, subject to SBA regulatory requirements.

2024 Unsecured Notes

On October 2, 2020, we issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Unsecured Notes, all of which remained outstanding as our debt as of December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, in accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we were allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing. Prior to February 6, 2019, in accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we were allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, was at least 200% after such borrowing. We currently intend to continue to target a GAAP debt-to-equity ratio between 0.85x to 1.15x.

On September 13, 2011, we received exemptive relief from the SEC allowing us to modify the asset coverage requirement to exclude the SBA debentures from our asset coverage calculation. As such, our ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness may be less than 150%. This provides us with increased investment flexibility but also increases our risks related to leverage. As of December 31, 2020, our asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 216.0% (excluding the SBA debentures).

In August 2020, our board of directors reapproved a share repurchase program, or the Program, which allows us
to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock on the open market at prices below the NAV per share as reported in our then most recently published consolidated financial statements. The Program is implemented at the discretion of management with shares to be purchased from time to time at prevailing market
prices, through open market transactions, including block transactions. We did not make any repurchases of our common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $169.7 million and $141.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, total commitments of $169.7 million included $43.5 million of unfunded commitments on revolvers. There is no guarantee that these amounts will be funded to the borrowing party now or in the future. The unfunded commitments relate to loans with various maturity dates, but the entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers, subject to the terms of each loan’s respective credit agreement. As of December 31, 2020, we believe that we had sufficient assets and liquidity to adequately cover future obligations under our unfunded commitments based on historical rates of drawings upon unfunded commitments, cash and restricted cash balances that we maintain, availability under our Adviser Revolver and ongoing principal repayments on debt investments. In addition, we generally hold some syndicated loans in larger portfolio companies that are saleable over a relatively short period to generate cash.

Although we expect to fund the growth of our investment portfolio through the net proceeds from future securities offerings and future borrowings, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, we cannot assure you that our efforts to raise capital will be successful. In addition, from time to time, we can amend or refinance our leverage facilities and securitization financings, to the extent permitted by applicable law. In addition to capital not being available, it also may not be available on favorable terms. To the extent we are not able to raise capital on what we believe are favorable terms, we will focus on optimizing returns by investing capital generated from repayments into new investments we believe are attractive from a risk/reward perspective. Furthermore, to the extent we are not able to
142

raise capital and are at or near our targeted leverage ratios, we expect to receive smaller allocations, if any, on new investment opportunities under GC Advisors’ allocation policy and have, in the past, received such smaller allocations under similar circumstances.

Portfolio Composition, Investment Activity and Yield

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we had investments in 253 and 254 portfolio companies, respectively, with a total fair value of $4.5 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively.

As of December 31, 2020, we had loans in seven portfolio companies on non-accrual status, and non-accrual
investments as a percentage of total debt investments at cost and fair value were 1.6% and 1.2%, respectively. 
As of September 30, 2020, we had loans in nine portfolio companies on non-accrual status, and non-accrual investments as a percentage of total investments at cost and fair value were 2.4% and 1.7%, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the fair value of our debt investments as a percentage of the outstanding principal value was 97.4% and 96.3%, respectively.

The following table shows the weighted average rate, spread over LIBOR of floating rate and fees of investments originated and the weighted average rate of sales and payoffs of portfolio companies during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

As of December 31, 2020, 93.5% and 93.4% of our debt portfolio at fair value and at amortized cost, respectively, had interest rate floors that limit the minimum applicable interest rates on such loans. As of September 30, 2020, 91.2% and 91.3% of our debt portfolio at fair value and at amortized cost, respectively, had interest rate floors that limit the minimum applicable interest rates on such loans.

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the portfolio median earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, for our portfolio companies was $32.8 million and $31.4 million, respectively. The portfolio median EBITDA is based on the most recently reported trailing twelve-month EBITDA received from the portfolio company.

As part of the monitoring process, GC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and rates each of them based on an internal system developed by Golub Capital and its affiliates. This system is not generally accepted in our industry or used by our competitors. It is based on the following categories, which we refer to as GC Advisors’ internal performance ratings:
 
Internal Performance Ratings
Rating Definition
5 Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The borrower is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.
4 Involves an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination. The borrower is generally performing as expected, and the risk factors are neutral to favorable.
3 Involves a borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased somewhat since origination. The borrower could be out of compliance with debt covenants; however, loan payments are generally not past due.
2 Involves a borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments could be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).
1 Involves a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Loans rated 1 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of the loan to the amount we anticipate will be recovered.

Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments.

For any investment rated 1, 2 or 3, GC Advisors will increase its monitoring intensity and prepare regular updates for the investment committee, summarizing current operating results and material impending events and suggesting recommended actions.

GC Advisors monitors and, when appropriate, changes the internal performance ratings assigned to each investment in our portfolio. In connection with our valuation process, GC Advisors and our board of directors review these internal performance ratings on a quarterly basis.

(1)Unfunded commitments represent unfunded commitments to fund investments as of December 31, 2020 and includes $43.5 million of commitments on undrawn revolvers. These amounts may or may not be funded to the borrowing party now or in the future. The unfunded commitments relate to loans with various maturity dates, but we are showing this amount in the less than one year category as this entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers as of December 31, 2020, subject to the terms of each loan’s respective credit agreement.
We may become a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of our business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. These instruments include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, we had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $169.7 million.

We have certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. We have entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with GC Advisors in accordance with the 1940 Act. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, GC Advisors provides us with investment advisory and management services.

Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes us with office facilities and equipment, provides us with clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities and provides us with other administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. The Administrator also provides on our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to offer to provide such assistance.

146

If any of the contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs under any new agreements that we enter into may increase. In addition, we would likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we receive under our Investment Advisory Agreement and our Administration Agreement. Any new investment advisory agreement would also be subject to approval by our stockholders.

Distributions

We intend to make quarterly distributions to our stockholders as determined by our board of directors. For additional details on distributions, see “Income taxes” in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of our distributions from time to time. In addition, the asset coverage requirements applicable to us as a business development company under the 1940 Act could limit our ability to make distributions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including the possible loss of our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.

Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations can differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences are permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified within capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. For example, permanent differences in classification result from the treatment of distributions paid from short-term gains as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any tax year, a portion of those distributions could be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, the source of a distribution to our stockholders could be the original capital invested by the stockholder rather than our income or gains. 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 gains.

We have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a distribution, our stockholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock unless a stockholder specifically “opts out” of our dividend reinvestment plan. If a stockholder opts out, that stockholder will receive cash distributions. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of our common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders participating in our dividend reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes.

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:

We entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with GC Advisors. Mr. Lawrence Golub, our chairman, is a manager of GC Advisors, and Mr. David Golub, our chief executive officer, is a manager of GC Advisors, and each of Messrs. Lawrence Golub and David Golub owns an indirect pecuniary interest in GC Advisors.

Golub Capital LLC provides, and other affiliates of Golub Capital have historically provided, us with the office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct day-to-day operations pursuant to our Administration Agreement.

We have entered into a license agreement with Golub Capital LLC, pursuant to which Golub Capital LLC has granted us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Golub Capital.”

Under a staffing agreement, or the Staffing Agreement, Golub Capital LLC has agreed to provide GC Advisors with the resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Staffing Agreement provides that Golub Capital LLC will make available to GC Advisors experienced investment professionals and provide access to the senior investment personnel of Golub Capital LLC for
147

purposes of evaluating, negotiating, structuring, closing and monitoring our investments. The Staffing Agreement also includes a commitment that the members of GC Advisors’ investment committee will serve in such capacity. Services under the Staffing Agreement are provided on a direct cost reimbursement basis. We are not a party to the Staffing Agreement.

GC Advisors served as collateral manager to the 2014 Issuer under the 2014 Collateral Management Agreement and serves as collateral manager to the 2018 Issuer, the GCIC 2018 Issuer and the 2020 Issuer under the 2018 Collateral Management Agreement, the GCIC 2018 Collateral Management Agreement, and the 2020 Collateral Management Agreement, respectively. Fees payable to GC Advisors for providing these services offset against the base management fee payable by us under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

We have entered into the Adviser Revolver with GC Advisors in order to have the ability to borrow funds on a short-term basis.

During calendar years 2020 and 2019, the Golub Capital Employee Grant Program Rabbi Trust, or the Trust, purchased approximately $54.7 million, or 4,103,225 shares, and $47.4 million, or 2,609,558 shares, of our common stock, respectively, for the purpose of awarding incentive compensation to employees of Golub Capital.

On September 16, 2019, we completed our acquisition of GCIC pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

On January 1, 2020, we purchased the equity interests held by RGA and Aurora in the Senior Loans Funds pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

In the transferable rights offering completed on May 15, 2020, 3,191,448 shares of our common stock were purchased by affiliates of GC Advisors.

On October 2, 2020, an affiliate of GC Advisors purchased $40.0 million of the 2024 Unsecured Notes. On October 8, 2020, the affiliate sold $15.0 million of the 2024 Unsecured Notes to an unaffiliated party.

GC Advisors also sponsors or manages, and expects in the future to sponsor or manage, other investment funds, accounts or investment vehicles (together referred to as “accounts”) that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. For example, GC Advisors presently serves as the investment adviser to Golub Capital BDC 3, Inc., an unlisted business development company that primarily focuses on investing in one stop and other senior secured loans. In addition, our officers and directors serve in similar capacity for Golub Capital BDC 3, Inc. If GC Advisors and its affiliates determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for Golub Capital BDC 3, Inc., and other accounts, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, and pursuant to GC Advisors’ allocation policy, GC Advisors or its affiliates could determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other accounts. We do not intend to make any investments if they are not permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, or if they are inconsistent with GC Advisors’ allocation procedures.

In addition, we have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of our and GC Advisors’ officers, directors and employees. Our officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by both the 1940 Act and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.

148

Fair Value Measurements

We value investments for which market quotations are readily available at their market quotations. However, a readily available market value is not expected to exist for many of the investments in our portfolio, and we value these portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors under our valuation policy and process.

Valuation methods include comparisons of the portfolio companies to peer companies that are public, determination of the enterprise value of a portfolio company, discounted cash flow analysis and a market interest rate approach. The factors that are taken into account in fair value pricing investments include: 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 and the markets in which it does business; comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public; comparable merger and acquisition transactions; and the principal market and enterprise values. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private equity valuation. 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 investments can differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and differ materially from values that are ultimately received or settled.

Our board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value of investments that are not publicly traded, whose market prices are not readily available on a quarterly basis or any other situation where portfolio investments require a fair value determination.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of GC Advisors responsible for credit monitoring. Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our senior management and GC Advisors. The audit committee of our board of directors reviews these preliminary valuations. At least once annually the valuation for each portfolio investment, subject to a de minimis threshold, is reviewed by an independent valuation firm. The board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith.

Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Under current accounting standards, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our consolidated financial statements.

We follow ASC Topic 820 for measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the assets or liabilities or market and the assets’ or liabilities’ complexity. Our fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Assets and liabilities are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
149

Level 3: Inputs include significant unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information available and may require significant management judgment or estimation.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and we consider factors specific to the asset or liability. We assess the levels of assets and liabilities at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers. There were no transfers among Level 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The following section describes the valuation techniques used by us to measure different assets and liabilities at fair value and includes the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the assets and liabilities are categorized.

Valuation of Investments

Level 1 investments are valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 investments are valued using market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on input of management, the audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of our board of directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing twelve-month period under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with approximately 25% (based on the number of portfolio companies) of our valuations of debt and equity investments without readily available market quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, with the exception of money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents (Level 1 investments) and forward currency contracts (Level 2 investments), all investments were valued using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

When determining fair value of Level 3 debt and equity investments, we may take into account the following factors, where relevant: the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons to publicly traded securities, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made and other relevant factors. The primary method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s EBITDA. A portfolio company’s EBITDA may include pro-forma adjustments for items such as acquisitions, divestitures, or expense reductions. The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments and to determine if debt investments are credit impaired. If debt investments are credit impaired, we will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value. For debt investments that are not determined to be credit impaired, we use a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value.

In addition, for certain debt investments, we may base our valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an independent third party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that we and others may be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the lowest price that we and others may be willing to accept. We generally use the midpoint of the bid/ask range as our best estimate of fair value of such investment.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded.

Our investments are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments are traded.
150


Valuation of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair value of our debt is estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting remaining payments using comparable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date, if available.

Revenue Recognition:

Our revenue recognition policies are as follows:

Investments and Related Investment Income: Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual interest terms of debt investments. Premiums, discounts, and origination fees are amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment. For investments with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we do not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not likely to be collectible. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees and prepayment premiums on loans and record these fees as fee income when received. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans as fee income. Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income 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 securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Distributions received from LLC and limited partnership, or LP, investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, we will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

We account for investment transactions on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We report changes in fair value of investments from the prior period that is measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-accrual: Loans may be left on accrual status during the period we are pursuing repayment of the loan. Management reviews all loans that become past due 90 days or more on principal and interest or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected for possible placement on non-accrual status. We generally reverse accrued interest when a loan is placed on non-accrual. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. We restore non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in our management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. The total fair value of our non-accrual loans was $52.9 million and $69.3 million as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Income taxes: We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to be subject to tax as a RIC, we are required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements, as well as timely distribute to our stockholders dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, for each tax year. We have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders, which will generally relieve us from U.S. federal income taxes.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions and would distribute such taxable income in the next tax year. We may then be required to incur a 4% excise tax on such income. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar year basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, we accrue excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For each of the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not incur any U.S federal excise tax.
151


Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified within capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. For example, permanent differences in classification may result from the treatment of distributions paid from short-term gains as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

152

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Many of the loans in our portfolio have floating interest rates, and we expect that our loans in the future may also have floating interest rates. These loans are usually based on a floating LIBOR and typically have interest rate reset provisions that adjust applicable interest rates under such loans to current market rates on a quarterly basis. The loans that are subject to the floating LIBOR are also subject to a minimum base rate, or floor, that we charge on our loans if the current market rates are below the respective floors. As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the weighted average LIBOR floor on the loans subject to floating interest rates was 1.01%. The Class A, B and C-1 2018 Notes issued in connection with the 2018 Debt Securitization have floating rate interest provisions based on three-month LIBOR that resets quarterly, as do the Class A-1 and B-1 GCIC 2018 Notes as issued as part of the GCIC 2018 Debt Securitization and the Class A-1, A-1-L, A-2 and B 2020 Notes as issued as part of the 2020 Debt Securitization. Finally, the MS Credit Facility II and the WF Credit Facility each have a floating interest rate provision primarily based on one-month LIBOR plus 2.45% and one-month LIBOR plus 2.15%, respectively. We expect that other credit facilities into which we enter in the future may have floating interest rate provisions.

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have reduced certain interest rates and LIBOR has decreased. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in LIBOR are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over LIBOR that we earn on any portfolio investments, a decrease in in our operating expenses, including with respect to our income incentive fee, or a decrease in the interest rate of our floating interest rate liabilities tied to LIBOR.

Assuming that the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2020 were to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter interest rate sensitivity as of such date, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.
Change in interest ratesIncrease (decrease) in

Up 200 basis points56,284 33,132 23,152 

Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes as of December 31, 2020, it does not adjust for changes in the credit market, credit quality, the size and composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments, including borrowings under the Debt Securitizations, the MS Credit Facility II, the WF Credit Facility, Adviser Revolver, or other borrowings, that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, we can offer no assurances that actual results would not differ materially from the analysis above.

We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps, futures, options and forward contracts to the limited extent permitted under the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of December 31, 2020 (the end of the period covered by this report), management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that, at the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports. There has not been any change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
