PART IIOTHER INFORMATION




FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements.” Generally, the words “believe,” “expect,”
“intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “plan” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future—including statements relating to volume growth, share of sales and earnings per share growth, and statements expressing general views about future operating results—are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, and those described from time to time in reports that we have filed or in the future may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The forward-looking statements contained in this report involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including statements concerning:

our future operating results;
our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;
the impact of investments that we expect to make;
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;
the impact of global health epidemics, including, but not limited to, the recent and ongoing novel coronavirus (“Wuhan Virus”) pandemic, on our and our portfolio companies’ business and the global economy;
uncertainty surrounding the financial stability of the United States, Europe, and China;
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
difficulty in obtaining financing or raising capital, especially in the current credit and equity environment, and the impact of a protracted decline in the liquidity of credit markets on our and our portfolio companies’ business;
the level and volatility of prevailing interest rates and credit spreads, magnified by the current turmoil in the credit markets;
the impact of changes in London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on our operating results;
adverse developments in the availability of desirable loan and investment opportunities whether they are due to competition, regulation or otherwise;
a compression of the yield on our investments and the cost of our liabilities, as well as the level of leverage available to us;
our regulatory structure and tax treatment, including our ability to operate as a business development company and a regulated investment company;
the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital;
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies;
the ability of the Investment Adviser to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments; and
authoritative generally accepted accounting principles or policy changes from such standard-setting bodies as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Internal Revenue Service, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and other authorities that we are subject to, as well as their counterparts in any foreign jurisdictions where we might do business.

CONSOLIDATED SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
(in thousands, except share data)

Endnote Explanations as of March 31, 2021 (Unaudited) and June 30, 2020


(1)The terms “Prospect,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Prospect Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise. The securities in which Prospect has invested were acquired in transactions that were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These securities may be resold only in transactions that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
(2)Fair value is determined by or under the direction of our Board of Directors. Unless otherwise indicated by endnote 47 below, all of our investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. In accordance with ASC 820, such investments are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. See Notes 2 and 3 within the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
(3)Security, or a portion thereof, is held by Prospect Capital Funding LLC (“PCF”), our wholly owned subsidiary and a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, and is pledged as collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility and such security is not available as collateral to our general creditors (see Note 4). The fair values of the investments held by PCF at March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020 were $1,528,576 and $1,491,022, respectively, representing 26.0% and 28.5% of our total investments, respectively.
(4)Keystone Acquisition Corp. is the parent borrower on the second lien term loan. Other joint borrowers on this debt investment include Keystone Peer Review Organization, Inc., KEPRO Acquisitions, Inc., APS Healthcare Bethesda, Inc., Ohio KEPRO, Inc., and APS Healthcare Quality Review, Inc.
(5)This investment is in the equity class of the collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) security, which is referred to as “Subordinated Structured Note,” or “SSN”. The SSN investments are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the excess cash flow generated from the underlying investments after payment of the contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses. The current estimated yield, calculated using amortized cost, is based on the current projections of this excess cash flow taking into account assumptions which have been made regarding expected prepayments, losses and future reinvestment rates. These assumptions are periodically reviewed and adjusted. Ultimately, the actual yield may be higher or lower than the estimated yield if actual results differ from those used for the assumptions.
(6)During the year ended June 30, 2020, we increased our investment in PGX Holdings, Inc. (“PGX”) through a new 1.5 Lien Term Loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1,981. Attached to the incremental term loan investment were shares of common stock representing an 11.4% equity interest in PGX. As a result, our investment in PGX was transferred from non-control/non-affiliate to affiliate classification as of June 30, 2020.
(7)Engine Group, Inc., EMX Digital, Inc. (f/k/a Clearstream.TV, Inc.), and Engine International, Inc., are joint borrowers on the senior secured and the second lien term loans.
(8)Syndicated investment which was originated by a financial institution and broadly distributed.
(9)Investment on non-accrual status as of the reporting date (See Note 2).
(10)Certain variable rate securities in our portfolio bear interest at a rate determined by a publicly disclosed base rate plus a basis point spread. The 1-Month LIBOR, or “1ML”, was 0.11% as of March 31, 2021 and 0.16% as of June 30, 2020. The 2-Month LIBOR, or “2ML”, was 0.13% as of March 31, 2021 and 0.23% as of June 30, 2020. The 3-Month LIBOR, or “3ML”, was 0.19% as of March 31, 2021 and 0.30% as of June 30, 2020. The 6-Month LIBOR, or “6ML”, was 0.21% as of March 31, 2021 and 0.37% as of June 30, 2020. The 12-Month LIBOR, or “12ML”, was 0.28% as of March 31, 2021 and 0.55% as of June 30, 2020.
(11)PeopleConnect Holdings, Inc. and Pubrec Holdings, Inc. are joint borrowers.
(12)The consolidated revenue interest is equal to the lesser of (i) 2.0% of consolidated revenue for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of the prior fiscal quarter (or portion thereof) and (ii) 25% of the amount of interest accrued on the Notes at the cash interest rate for such fiscal quarter (or portion thereof).
(13)The overriding royalty interests held receive payments at the stated rates based upon operations of the borrower.
(14)Investment has been designated as an investment not “qualifying” under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Under the 1940 Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets. As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020,

our qualifying assets, as a percentage of total assets, stood at 75.67% and 74.44%, respectively. We monitor the status of these assets on an ongoing basis.
(15)Undrawn committed revolvers and delayed draw term loans to our portfolio companies incur commitment and unused fees ranging from 0.00% to 5.00%. As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, we had $38,999 and $41,487, respectively, of undrawn revolver and delayed draw term loan commitments to our portfolio companies.
(16)Represents non-income producing security that has not paid a dividend in the year preceding the reporting date.
(17)The effective yield has been estimated to be 0% as expected future cash flows are anticipated to not be sufficient to repay the investment at cost. If the expected investment proceeds increase, there is a potential for future investment income from the investment. Distributions, once received, will be recognized as return of capital, and when called, any remaining unamortized investment costs will be written off if the actual distributions are less than the amortized investment cost. To the extent that the cost basis of the SSN is fully recovered, any future distributions will be recorded as realized gains.
(18)Ellett Brothers, LLC, Evans Sports, Inc., Jerry’s Sports, Inc., Simmons Gun Specialties, Inc., Bonitz Brothers, Inc., and Outdoor Sports Headquarters, Inc. are joint borrowers on the second lien term loan. United Sporting Companies, Inc. (“USC”) is a parent guarantor of this debt investment, and is 100% owned by SportCo Holdings, Inc. (“SportCo”). Prospect previously held a 3.48% equity interest in SportCo and following an additional issuance of common stock by SportCo, Prospect’s ownership increased to 22.0% as of September 30, 2018. As a result, Prospect’s investment in USC is classified as an affiliate investment beginning the period ended September 30, 2018. In June 2019, USC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and began liquidating its remaining assets. Since filing for chapter 11, USC used a portion of the proceeds from the ongoing liquidation to partially repay $21,569 of our Second Lien Term Loan and our 22.0% equity interest was canceled.
(19)Medusind Acquisition, Inc., Medusind Intermediate, Inc., Medusind Solutions Inc. and Medusind Inc. are joint borrowers.
(20)CP Holdings of Delaware LLC (“CP Holdings”), a consolidated entity in which we own 100% of the membership interests, owns 99.8% of CP Energy Services Inc. (“CP Energy”) as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020. CP Energy owns directly or indirectly 100% of each of CP Well Testing, LLC; Wright Foster Disposals, LLC; Foster Testing Co., Inc.; ProHaul Transports, LLC; and Wright Trucking, Inc. We report CP Energy as a separate controlled company. On April 6, 2018, Arctic Oilfield Equipment USA, Inc. (“Arctic Equipment”), a previously controlled portfolio company, merged with and into CP Energy, with CP Energy continuing as the surviving corporation. In June 2019, CP Energy purchased a controlling interest in the common equity of Spartan Energy Holdings, Inc. (“Spartan Holdings”), which owns 100% of Spartan Energy Services, LLC (“Spartan”), a portfolio company of Prospect with $13,156 in senior secured term loans (the “Spartan Term Loans”) due to us as of June 30, 2020. As a result of CP Energy’s purchase, and given Prospect’s controlling interest in CP Energy, our Spartan Term Loans are presented as control investments under CP Energy beginning June 30, 2019. Spartan remains the direct borrower and guarantor to Prospect for the Spartan Term Loans.  In December 2019, Wolf Energy Holdings, Inc. (“Wolf Energy Holdings”), our Consolidated Holding Company that previously owned 100% of Appalachian Energy LLC (“AEH”); Wolf Energy Services Company, LLC (Wolf Energy Services”); and Wolf Energy, LLC (collectively our previously controlled membership interest and net profit interest investments in “Wolf Energy”), merged with and into CP Energy, with CP Energy continuing as the surviving entity. CP Energy acquired 100% of our equity in Wolf Energy, which is reflected in our valuation of CP Energy common stock as of December 31, 2019. (See Note 14). In September 2020, we made a new $26,193 Series A preferred stock investment in Spartan Energy Holdings, Inc., which equates to 100% of the Series A non-voting non-convertible preferred stock outstanding. In September 2020, Spartan Energy Services, LLC fully repaid the $26,193 Senior Secured Term Loan B receivable to us at par. We recorded a realized gain of $2,832 in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 as a result of this transaction.

Credit Central owns 100% of each of Credit Central, LLC; Credit Central South, LLC; Credit Central of Texas, LLC; and Credit Central of Tennessee, LLC, the operating companies. We report Credit Central as a separate controlled company.
(22)As of June 30, 2020, Prospect held an 11.51% membership interest in Edmentum Ultimate Holdings, LLC (“Edmentum Holdings”), which owns 100% of the equity of Edmentum, Inc. On December 11, 2020, we sold our 11.51% Class A voting interest in Edmentum Holdings and recorded realized gains of $3,724 and $745 in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)


Note 1. Organization
In this report, the terms “Prospect,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Prospect Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

Prospect is a financial services company that primarily lends to and invests in middle market privately-held companies. We are a closed-end investment company incorporated in Maryland. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). As a BDC, we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). We were organized on April 13, 2004, and were funded in an initial public offering completed on July 27, 2004.

On May 15, 2007, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary Prospect Capital Funding LLC (“PCF”), a Delaware limited liability company and a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which holds certain of our portfolio loan investments that are used as collateral for the revolving credit facility at PCF. Our wholly owned subsidiary Prospect Small Business Lending, LLC (“PSBL”) was formed on January 27, 2014, and purchased small business whole loans from online small business loan originators, including On Deck Capital, Inc. (“OnDeck”). On September 30, 2014, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary Prospect Yield Corporation, LLC (“PYC”) and effective October 23, 2014, PYC holds a portion of our collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), which we also refer to as subordinated structured notes ("SSNs"). Each of these subsidiaries have been consolidated since operations commenced.
We consolidate certain of our wholly owned and substantially wholly owned holding companies formed by us in order to facilitate our investment strategy. The following companies are included in our consolidated financial statements and are collectively referred to as the “Consolidated Holding Companies”: CP Holdings of Delaware LLC (“CP Holdings”); Credit Central Holdings of Delaware, LLC; Energy Solutions Holdings Inc.; First Tower Holdings of Delaware LLC (“First Tower Delaware”); MITY Holdings of Delaware Inc.; Nationwide Acceptance Holdings LLC; NMMB Holdings, Inc. (“NMMB Holdings”); NPH Property Holdings, LLC (“NPH”); Prospect Opportunity Holdings I, Inc. (“POHI”); SB Forging Company, Inc. (“SB Forging”); STI Holding, Inc.; UTP Holdings Group Inc. (“UTP Holdings”); Valley Electric Holdings I, Inc. (“Valley Holdings I”) ; and Valley Electric Holdings II, Inc. (“Valley Holdings II”).
We are externally managed by our investment adviser, Prospect Capital Management L.P. (“Prospect Capital Management” or the “Investment Adviser”). Prospect Administration LLC (“Prospect Administration” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Adviser, provides administrative services and facilities necessary for us to operate.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and long-term capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in senior and subordinated debt and equity of private companies in need of capital for acquisitions, divestitures, growth, development, recapitalizations and other purposes. We work with the management teams or financial sponsors to identify investments with historical cash flows, asset collateral or contracted pro forma cash flows for investment.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q, ASC 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Under the 1940 Act, ASC 946, and the regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services to benefit us. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Prospect, PCF, PSBL, PYC, and the Consolidated Holding Companies. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial results of our non-substantially wholly-owned holding companies and operating portfolio company investments are not consolidated in the financial statements. Any operating companies owned by the Consolidated Holding Companies are not consolidated.
Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the presentation of prior consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the presentation as of and for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income, expenses, and gains and losses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, creditworthiness of the issuers of our investment portfolio and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ, and these differences could be material.
Investment Classification
We are a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. As required by the 1940 Act, we classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are those where there is the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, a beneficial ownership of more than 25% of the voting securities of an investee company. Under the 1940 Act, “Affiliate Investments” are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist through the possession outright or via the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another person. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.
As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, our qualifying assets as a percentage of total assets, stood at 75.67% and 74.44%, respectively.
Investment Transactions
Investments are recognized when we assume an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Specifically, we record all security transactions on a trade date basis. Investments are derecognized when we assume an obligation to sell a financial instrument and forego the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Amounts for investments traded but not yet settled are reported in Due to Broker or Due from Broker, in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency amounts are translated into US Dollars (USD) on the following basis:
i.fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and
ii.purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such investment transactions, income or expenses.
We do 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 or disposed of during the period. Such fluctuations are included within the net realized and net change in unrealized gains or losses from investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investment Risks
Our investments are subject to a variety of risks. Those risks include the following:
Market Risk
Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the fair value of the financial instrument.
Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the risk that we would incur if the counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the terms of their agreements with us.
49

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk represents the possibility that we may not be able to rapidly adjust the size of our investment positions in times of high volatility and financial stress at a reasonable price.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk represents a change in interest rates, which could result in an adverse change in the fair value of an interest-bearing financial instrument.
Prepayment Risk
Many of our debt investments allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Downward changes in interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a faster than expected rate, thereby effectively shortening the maturity of the security and making us less likely to fully earn all of the expected income of that security and reinvesting in a lower yielding instrument.
Structured Credit Related Risk

CLO investments may be riskier and less transparent to us than direct investments in underlying companies. CLOs typically will have no significant assets other than their underlying senior secured loans. Therefore, payments on CLO investments are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such senior secured loans. 
Online Small-and-Medium-Sized Business Lending Risk
With respect to our online small-and-medium-sized business (“SME”) lending initiative, we invest primarily in marketplace loans through marketplace lending platforms (e.g. OnDeck). We do not conduct loan origination activities ourselves. Therefore, our ability to purchase SME loans, and our ability to grow our portfolio of SME loans, is directly influenced by the business performance and competitiveness of the marketplace loan origination business of the marketplace lending platforms from which we purchase SME loans. In addition, our ability to analyze the risk-return profile of SME loans is significantly dependent on the marketplace platforms’ ability to effectively evaluate a borrower’s credit profile and likelihood of default. If we are unable to effectively evaluate borrowers’ credit profiles or the credit decisioning and scoring models implemented by each platform, we may incur unanticipated losses which could adversely impact our operating results.
Foreign Currency
Investments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin. 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.
Investment Valuation
To value our investments, we follow the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in conformity with GAAP, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of our investments is defined as the price that we would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market in which that investment is transacted.
ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
50

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined 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 considers factors specific to each investment.
Our Board of Directors has established procedures for the valuation of our investment portfolio. These procedures are detailed below.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations.
For most of our investments, market quotations are not available. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our Board of Directors has approved a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below.
1.Each portfolio company or investment is reviewed by our investment professionals with independent valuation firms engaged by our Board of Directors.
2.The independent valuation firms prepare independent valuations for each investment based on their own independent assessments and issue their report.
3.The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors reviews and discusses with the independent valuation firms the valuation reports, and then makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors of the value for each investment.
4.The Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser, the respective independent valuation firm and the Audit Committee.
Our non-CLO investments are valued utilizing a yield technique, enterprise value (“EV”) technique, net asset value technique, asset recovery technique, discounted cash flow technique, or a combination of techniques, as appropriate. The yield technique uses loan spreads for loans and other relevant information implied by market data involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Under the EV technique, the EV of a portfolio company is first determined and allocated over the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another (i.e., “waterfall” allocation). To determine the EV, we typically use a market (multiples) valuation approach that considers relevant and applicable market trading data of guideline public companies, transaction metrics from precedent merger and acquisitions transactions, and/or a discounted cash flow technique. The net asset value technique, an income approach, is used to derive a value of an underlying investment (such as real estate property) by dividing a relevant earnings stream by an appropriate capitalization rate. For this purpose, we consider capitalization rates for similar properties as may be obtained from guideline public companies and/or relevant transactions. The asset recovery technique is intended to approximate the net recovery value of an investment based on, among other things, assumptions regarding liquidation proceeds based on a hypothetical liquidation of a portfolio company’s assets. The discounted cash flow technique converts future cash flows or earnings to a range of fair values from which a single estimate may be derived utilizing an appropriate discount rate. The fair value measurement is based on the net present value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.
In applying these methodologies, additional factors that we consider in valuing our investments may include, as we deem relevant: security covenants, call protection provisions, and information rights; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments; the principal markets in which the portfolio company does business; publicly available financial ratios of peer companies; the principal market; and enterprise values, among other factors.
Our investments in CLOs are classified as Level 3 fair value measured securities under ASC 820 and are valued using a discounted multi-path cash flow model. The CLO structures are analyzed to identify the risk exposures and to determine an appropriate call date (i.e., expected maturity). These risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations, which is a simulation used to model the probability of different outcomes, to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows from the underlying assets and liabilities.  These cash flows are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market as well as certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment.  In addition, we generate a single-path cash flow utilizing our best estimate of expected cash receipts, and assess the reasonableness of the implied discount rate that would be effective for the value derived from the multi-path cash flows.  We are not responsible for and have no influence over the asset management of the portfolios underlying the CLO investments we hold, as those portfolios are managed by non-affiliated third-party CLO collateral managers. The main risk factors are default risk, prepayment risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk.

Valuation of Other Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, specifically ASC 825-10-25, permits an entity to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “Fair Value Option”). We have not elected the Fair Value Option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities. See Note 8 for the disclosure of the fair value of our outstanding debt and the market observable inputs used in determining fair value.
Convertible Notes
We have recorded the Convertible Notes at their contractual amounts. We have determined that the embedded conversion options in the Convertible Unsecured Notes are not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. See Note 5 for further discussion.
Revenue Recognition
Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method.
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discounts are capitalized and accreted into interest income over the respective terms of the applicable loans using the effective interest method or straight-line, as applicable, and adjusted only for material amendments or prepayments. Upon a prepayment of a loan, prepayment premiums, original issue discount, or market discounts are recorded as interest income.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Unpaid accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are either applied to the cost basis or interest income, depending upon management’s judgment of the collectibility of the loan receivable. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and in management’s judgment, is likely to remain current and future principal and interest collections when due are probable. Interest received and applied against cost while a loan is on non-accrual, and PIK interest capitalized but not recognized while on non-accrual, is recognized prospectively on the effective yield basis through maturity of the loan when placed back on accrual status, to the extent deemed collectible by management. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 0.7% of our total assets at fair value are in non-accrual status.
Some of our loans and other investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK income computed at the contractual rate is accrued into income and reflected as receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, we capitalize the accrued interest (reflecting such amounts in the basis as additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. At the point that we believe PIK is not fully expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends are reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. We do not reverse previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status if we believe that PIK is expected to be realized.
Interest income from investments in Subordinated Structured Notes (typically preferred shares, income notes or subordinated notes of CLO funds) and “equity” class of security of securitized trust is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. We monitor the expected cash inflows from our CLO and securitized trust equity investments, including the expected residual payments, and the effective yield is determined and updated periodically.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Other income generally includes amendment fees, commitment fees, administrative agent fees and structuring fees which are recorded when earned. Excess deal deposits, net profits interests and overriding royalty interests are included in other income. See Note 10 for further discussion.

Federal and State Income Taxes
We have elected to be treated as a RIC and intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to RICs. We are required to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income and intend to distribute (or retain through a deemed distribution) all of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain to stockholders; therefore, we have made no provision for income taxes. The character of income and gains that we will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital.
If we do not distribute (or are not deemed to have distributed) at least 98% of our annual ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital gains in the calendar year earned, we will generally be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which 98% of our annual ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital gains exceed the distributions from such taxable income for the year. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, we accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income. As of March 31, 2021, we do not expect to have any excise tax due for the 2021 calendar year. Thus, we have not accrued any excise tax for this period.
If we fail to satisfy the annual distribution requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, we would be subject to tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates. We would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders, nor would we be required to make distributions. Distributions would generally be taxable to our individual and other non-corporate taxable stockholders as ordinary dividend income eligible for the reduced maximum rate applicable to qualified dividend income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, provided certain holding period and other requirements are met. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributions would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. To qualify again to be taxed as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to distribute to our stockholders our accumulated earnings and profits attributable to non-RIC years. In addition, if we failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, then, in order to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to elect to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gain (the excess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if we had been liquidated) or, alternatively, be subject to taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a period of five years.

We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. As of March 31, 2021, we did not record any unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities. Management’s determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Although we file both federal and state income tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal. Our federal tax returns for the tax years ended August 31, 2017 and thereafter remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, if any, to be paid as a monthly dividend or distribution is approved by our Board of Directors quarterly and is generally based upon our management’s estimate of our future taxable earnings. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.
Our distributions may exceed our earnings, and therefore, portions of the distributions that we make may be a return of the money originally invested and represent a return of capital distribution to shareholders for tax purposes.
Financing Costs
We record origination expenses related to our Revolving Credit Facility, and Convertible Notes, Public Notes and Prospect Capital InterNotes® (collectively, our “Unsecured Notes”) as deferred financing costs. These expenses are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method over the stated life of the obligation for our Revolving Credit Facility and for our Prospect Capital Internotes. The effective interest method is used to amortize deferred financing costs for our remaining Unsecured Notes over the respective expected life or maturity. In the event that we modify or extinguish our debt before maturity, we follow the guidance in ASC 470-50, Modification and Extinguishments (“ASC
53

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)

470-50”). For modifications to or exchanges of our Revolving Credit Facility, any unamortized deferred costs relating to lenders who are not part of the new lending group are expensed. For extinguishments of our Unsecured Notes, any unamortized deferred costs are deducted from the carrying amount of the debt in determining the gain or loss from the extinguishment.
Unamortized deferred financing costs are presented as a direct deduction to the respective Unsecured Notes (see Notes 5, 6, and 7).
We may record registration expenses related to shelf filings as prepaid expenses. These expenses consist principally of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registration fees, legal fees and accounting fees incurred. These prepaid expenses are charged to capital upon the receipt of proceeds from an equity offering or charged to expense if no offering is completed. As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, there are no prepaid expenses related to registration expenses and all amounts incurred have been expensed.
Guarantees and Indemnification Agreements
We follow ASC 460, Guarantees (“ASC 460”). ASC 460 elaborates on the disclosure requirements of a guarantor in its interim and annual consolidated financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, for those guarantees that are covered by ASC 460, the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing certain guarantees.
Per Share Information
In accordance with ASC 946, senior equity securities, such as preferred stock, are not considered in the calculation of net asset value per share. Net asset value per share also excludes the effects of assumed conversion of outstanding convertible securities, regardless of whether their conversion would have a diluting effect. Therefore, our net asset value is presented on the basis of per common share outstanding as of the applicable period end.
We compute earnings per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260"). Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the assumed conversion of dilutive securities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends the financial instruments impairment guidance so that an entity is required to measure expected credit losses for financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. As such, an entity will use forward-looking information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also amends the guidance in FASB ASC Subtopic No. 325-40, Investments-Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, related to the subsequent measurement of accretable yield recognized as interest income over the life of a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets under the effective yield method. ASU 2016-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures as our investments are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The standard will modify the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In May 2020, the SEC adopted rule amendments that will impact the requirement of investment companies, including BDCs, to disclose the financial statements of certain of their portfolio companies or certain acquired funds (the “Final Rules”). The Final Rules adopted a new definition of “significant subsidiary” set forth in Rule 1-02(w)(2) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X require investment companies to include separate financial statements or summary financial information, respectively, in such investment company’s periodic reports for any portfolio company that meets the definition of “significant subsidiary.” The Final Rules adopt a new definition of “significant subsidiary” applicable only to investment companies that (i) modifies the investment test and the income test, and (ii) eliminates the asset test currently in the definition of “significant subsidiary” in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. The new Rule 1-02(w)(2) of Regulation S-X is

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

intended to more accurately capture these portfolio companies that are more likely to materially impact the financial condition of an investment company. The Final Rules became effective on January 1, 2021, but voluntary compliance was permitted in advance of the effective date. We evaluated the impact of adopting the Final Rules on our consolidated financial statements and because the new definition of “significant subsidiary” contained therein is specific to investment companies, we elected to early adopt the Final Rules beginning with our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Note 3. Portfolio Investments - Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiaries for disclosure.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The standard is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the optional guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. The Company did not utilize the optional expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, after adoption, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted.

Impact of the novel coronavirus (“Wuhan Virus”) pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (the "Wuhan Virus") as a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The Wuhan Virus has had a devastating impact on the global economy, including the U.S. economy, and has resulted in a global economic recession.
The Wuhan Virus pandemic and preventative measures taken to contain or mitigate its spread have caused, and are continuing to cause, business shutdowns, or the reintroduction of business shutdowns, cancellations of and restrictions on events and travel, significant reductions in demand for certain goods and services, reductions in and restrictions on business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability both globally and in the

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

United States. Such effects will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and for some period thereafter. While several countries, as well as certain states, counties and cities in the United States, have begun to lift the public health restrictions with a view to reopening their economies, recurring Wuhan Virus 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. Additionally, any delays or pauses in vaccine distributions, or inability to achieve “herd immunity”, could lead people to continue to self-isolate and not participate in the economy at prepandemic levels for a prolonged period of time. Further, the extent and strength of any economic recovery after the Wuhan Virus pandemic abates, including following any "second wave", “third wave” or other intensifying of the pandemic, is uncertain and subject to various factors and conditions. Even after the Wuhan Virus pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy and most other major global economies may continue to experience a recession.
The Wuhan Virus pandemic (including the preventative measures taken in response thereto) has to date (i) created significant business disruption issues for certain of our portfolio companies, and (ii) materially and adversely impacted the value and performance of certain of our portfolio companies and SSN investments. The Wuhan Virus pandemic is having a particularly adverse impact on industries in which certain of our portfolio companies operate, including energy, hospitality, travel, retail and restaurants. Certain of our portfolio companies in other industries have also been significantly impacted. The Wuhan Virus pandemic is continuing as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report, and its extended duration may have further adverse impacts on our portfolio companies and SSN investments after March 31, 2021, including for the reasons described herein. As a result of this disruption and the pressures on their liquidity, certain of our portfolio companies have been, or may continue to be, incentivized to draw on most, if not all, of the unfunded portion of any revolving or delayed draw term loans made by us, subject to availability under the terms of such loans.
As a BDC, we are required to carry our investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors. Depending on market conditions, we could incur substantial losses in future periods, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.     
Although it is difficult to predict the extent of the impact of the Wuhan Virus outbreak on the underlying CLO vehicles we invest in, CLO vehicles in which we invest may fail to satisfy certain financial covenants, including with respect to adequate collateralization and/or interest coverage tests. Such failure could cause the assets of the CLO vehicle to not receive full par credit for purposes of calculation of the CLO vehicle’s overcollateralization tests and as a consequence, may lead to a reduction in such CLO vehicle’s payments to us because holders of debt senior to us may be entitled to additional payments that would, in turn, reduce the payments we would otherwise be entitled to. Separately, we may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting CLO vehicle or any other investment we may make. If any of these occur, it could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.
The impact of the Wuhan Virus pandemic may not yet be fully reflected in the valuation of our investments as our valuations, and particularly valuations of private investments and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and are often based on estimates, comparisons and qualitative evaluations of private information that is often from a time period earlier, generally two to three months, than the quarter for which we are reporting. Additionally, we may not have yet received information or certifications from our portfolio companies that indicate any or the full extent of declining performance or non-compliance with debt covenants, as applicable, as a result of the Wuhan Virus pandemic. As a result, our valuations at March 31, 2021 may not show the complete or continuing impact of the Wuhan Virus pandemic and the resulting measures taken in response thereto. In addition, write downs in the value of our investments have reduced, and any additional write downs may further reduce, our net asset value (and, as a result, our asset coverage calculation). Accordingly, we may continue to incur additional net unrealized losses or may incur realized losses after March 31, 2021, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

(1)Represents an investment in a Real Estate Investment Trust subsidiary. The Enterprise Value analysis includes the fair value of our investments in such indirect subsidiary’s consumer loans purchased from online consumer lending platforms, which are valued using a discounted cash flow valuation technique. The key unobservable input to the discounted cash flow analysis is noted above. In addition, the valuation also used projected loss rates as an unobservable input ranging from 0.0%-4.8%, with a weighted average of 0.3%.
(2)Represents an investment in a Real Estate Investment Trust subsidiary. The Enterprise Value analysis includes the fair value of our investments in such indirect subsidiary’s rated secured structured notes, which are valued using a discounted cash flow valuation technique. The key unobservable input to the discounted cash flow analysis is noted above.
(3)Represents the implied discount rate based on our internally generated single-cash flow model that is derived from the fair value estimated by the corresponding multi-path cash flow model utilized by the independent valuation firm.
(4)Represents investments in consumer finance subsidiaries. The enterprise value waterfall methodology utilizes book value multiples as noted above. In addition, the valuation of certain consumer finance companies utilizes the enterprise value waterfall technique whereby the significant unobservable input is the earnings multiple and the discounted cash flow technique whereby the significant unobservable input is the discount rate. For these companies the earnings multiple ranges from 7.3x to 8.4x with a weighted average of 7.9x and the discount rate ranges from 13.1% to 14.1% with a weighted average of 13.6%.
(5)Represents Residual Profit Interests in Real Estate Investments.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, management and the independent valuation firm look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. In determining the range of values for debt instruments where market quotations are not available, except CLOs and debt investments in controlling portfolio companies, management and the independent valuation firm estimated corporate and security credit ratings and identified corresponding yields to maturity for each loan from relevant market data. A discounted cash flow technique was then applied using the appropriate yield to maturity as the discount rate, to determine a range of values. In determining the range of values for debt investments of controlled companies and equity investments, the enterprise value was determined by applying a market approach such as using earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples, net income and/or book value multiples for similar guideline public companies and/or similar recent investment transactions and/or an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow technique. The enterprise value technique may also be used to value debt investments which are credit impaired. For stressed debt and equity investments, asset recovery analysis was used.
In determining the range of values for our investments in CLOs, the independent valuation firm uses a discounted multi-path cash flow model. The valuations were accomplished through the analysis of the CLO deal structures to identify the risk exposures from the modeling point of view as well as to determine an appropriate call date (i.e., expected maturity). These risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows for the underlying assets and liabilities. These cash flows are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market and certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment. In addition, we generate a single-path cash flow utilizing our best estimate of expected cash receipts, and assess the reasonableness of the implied discount rate that would be effective for the value derived from the corresponding multi-path cash flow model.
Our portfolio consists of residual interests and debt investments in CLOs, which involve a number of significant risks. CLOs are typically very highly levered (10 - 14 times), and therefore the residual interest tranches that we invest in are subject to a higher degree of risk of total loss. In particular, investors in CLO residual interests indirectly bear risks of the underlying loan investments held by such CLOs. We generally have the right to receive payments only from the CLOs, and generally do not have direct rights against the underlying borrowers or the entity that sponsored the CLOs. While the CLOs we target generally enable the investor to acquire interests in a pool of senior loans without the expenses associated with directly holding the same investments, the prices of indices and securities underlying our CLOs will rise or fall. These prices (and, therefore, the prices of the CLOs) will be influenced by the same types of political and economic events that affect issuers of securities and capital markets generally. The failure by a CLO investment in which we invest to satisfy financial covenants, including with respect to adequate collateralization and/or interest coverage tests, could lead to a reduction in its payments to us. In the event that a CLO fails certain tests, holders of debt senior to us would be entitled to additional payments that would, in turn, reduce the payments we would otherwise be entitled to receive. Separately, we may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting CLO or any other investment we may make. If any of these occur, it could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.
The interests we have acquired in CLOs are generally thinly traded or have only a limited trading market. CLOs are typically privately offered and sold, even in the secondary market. As a result, investments in CLOs may be characterized as illiquid

securities. In addition to the general risks associated with investing in debt securities, CLO residual interests carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) our investments in CLO tranches will likely be subordinate to other senior classes of note tranches thereof; and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the CLO investment or unexpected investment results. Our net asset value may also decline over time if our principal recovery with respect to CLO residual interests is less than the cost of those investments. Our CLO investments and/or the CLOs’ underlying senior secured loans may prepay more quickly than expected, which could have an adverse impact on our value.
An increase in LIBOR would materially increase the CLO’s financing costs. Since most of the collateral positions within the CLOs have LIBOR floors, there may not be corresponding increases in investment income (if LIBOR increases but stays below the LIBOR floor rate of such investments) resulting in materially smaller distribution payments to the residual interest investors.
On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that (i) 24 LIBOR settings would cease to exist immediately after December 31, 2021 (all seven euro LIBOR settings; all seven Swiss franc LIBOR settings; the Spot Next, 1-week, 2-month, and 12-month Japanese yen LIBOR settings; the overnight, 1-week, 2-month, and 12-month sterling LIBOR settings; and the 1-week and 2-month US dollar LIBOR settings); (ii) the overnight and 12-month US LIBOR settings would cease to exist after June 30, 2023; and (iii) the FCA would consult on whether the remaining nine LIBOR settings should continue to be published on a synthetic basis for a certain period using the FCA’s proposed new powers that the UK government is legislating to grant to them.
We hold more than a 10% interest in certain foreign corporations that are treated as controlled foreign corporations (“CFC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including our residual interest tranche investments in CLOs). Therefore, we are treated as receiving a deemed distribution (taxable as ordinary income) each year from such foreign corporations in an amount equal to our pro rata share of the corporation’s income for that tax year (including both ordinary earnings and capital gains). We are required to include such deemed distributions from a CFC in our taxable income and we are required to distribute at least 90% of such income to maintain our RIC status, regardless of whether or not the CFC makes an actual distribution during such year.
If we acquire shares in “passive foreign investment companies” (“PFICs”) (including residual interest tranche investments in CLOs that are PFICs), we may be subject to federal income tax on a portion of any “excess distribution” or gain from the disposition of such shares even if such income is distributed as a taxable dividend to our stockholders. Certain elections may be available to mitigate or eliminate such tax on excess distributions, but such elections (if available) will generally require us to recognize our share of the PFIC’s income for each year regardless of whether we receive any distributions from such PFICs. We must nonetheless distribute such income to maintain our status as a RIC.
Legislation enacted in 2010 imposes a withholding tax of 30% on payments of U.S. source interest and dividends paid after December 31, 2013, or gross proceeds from the disposition of an instrument that produces U.S. source interest or dividends paid after December 31, 2016, to certain non-U.S. entities, including certain non-U.S. financial institutions and investment funds, unless such non-U.S. entity complies with certain reporting requirements regarding its United States account holders and its United States owners. Most CLOs in which we invest will be treated as non-U.S. financial entities for this purpose, and therefore will be required to comply with these reporting requirements to avoid the 30% withholding. If a CLO in which we invest fails to properly comply with these reporting requirements, it could reduce the amounts available to distribute to residual interest and junior debt holders in such CLO vehicle, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.
If we are required to include amounts in income prior to receiving distributions representing such income, we may have to sell some of our investments at times and/or at prices management would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or forgo new investment opportunities for this purpose.
The significant unobservable input used to value our investments based on the yield technique and discounted cash flow technique is the market yield (or applicable discount rate) used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which includes both future principal and interest/dividend payments. Increases or decreases in the market yield (or applicable discount rate) would result in a decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value measurement. Management and the independent valuation firms consider the following factors when selecting market yields or discount rates: risk of default, rating of the investment and comparable company investments, and call provisions.

The significant unobservable inputs used to value our investments based on the EV analysis may include market multiples of specified financial measures such as EBITDA, net income, or book value of identified guideline public companies, implied valuation multiples from precedent M&A transactions, and/or discount rates applied in a discounted cash flow technique. The independent valuation firm identifies a population of publicly traded companies with similar operations and key attributes to that of the portfolio company. Using valuation and operating metrics of these guideline public companies and/or as implied by relevant precedent transactions, a range of multiples of the latest twelve months EBITDA, or other measure such as net income or book value, is typically calculated. The independent valuation firm utilizes the determined multiples to estimate the portfolio company’s EV generally based on the latest twelve months EBITDA of the portfolio company (or other meaningful measure). Increases or decreases in the multiple would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in EV which would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value measurement of the debt of controlled companies and/or equity investment, as applicable. In certain instances, a discounted cash flow analysis may be considered in estimating EV, in which case, discount rates based on a weighted average cost of capital and application of the capital asset pricing model may be utilized.
The significant unobservable input used to value our private REIT investments based on the net asset value analysis is the capitalization rate applied to the earnings measure of the underlying property. Increases or decreases in the capitalization rate would result in a decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value measurement.
Changes in market yields, discount rates, capitalization rates or EBITDA multiples, each in isolation, may change the fair value measurement of certain of our investments. Generally, an increase in market yields, discount rates or capitalization rates, or a decrease in EBITDA (or other) multiples may result in a decrease in the fair value measurement of certain of our investments.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.
In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the currently assigned valuations.

Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiaries
Our investments are generally in small and mid-sized companies in a variety of industries. In accordance with Regulation S-X 3-09 and Regulation S-X 4-08(g), we must determine which of our unconsolidated controlled portfolio companies are considered “significant subsidiaries,” if any. In evaluating these investments, we have voluntarily adopted the SEC’s new definition of “significant subsidiary” as set forth in Rule 1-02(w)(2) for BDC’s and closed end investment companies. Refer to Note 2. Significant Accounting policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements for our assessment of the Final Rules and early adoption. Regulation S-X 3-09 requires separate audited financial statements of an unconsolidated subsidiary in an annual report. Regulation S-X 4-08(g) requires summarized financial information in an annual report.
Pursuant to Regulation S-X 10-01(b), Interim Financial Statements, summarized interim income statement information is required for an unconsolidated subsidiary within a quarterly report if the unconsolidated subsidiary would otherwise require separate audited financial statements within an annual report pursuant to Regulation S-X 3-09.
During nine months ended March 31, 2021, NPRC was deemed to be a significant subsidiary. The following table shows summarized income statement information for NPRC for the periods included in this quarterly report:

Note 4. Revolving Credit Facility
On August 29, 2014, we renegotiated our previous credit facility and closed an expanded five and a half year revolving credit facility (the “2014 Facility”). The lenders had extended commitments of $885,000 under the 2014 Facility as of June 30, 2018. The 2014 Facility included an accordion feature which allowed commitments to be increased up to $1,500,000 in the aggregate. Interest on borrowings under the 2014 Facility was one-month LIBOR plus 225 basis points. Additionally, the lenders charged a fee on the unused portion of the 2014 Facility equal to either 50 basis points if at least 35% of the credit facility was drawn or 100 basis points otherwise.
On August 1, 2018, we renegotiated the 2014 Facility and closed an expanded five and a half year revolving credit facility (the “2018 Facility”). The lenders have extended commitments of $1,132,500 as of June 30, 2019. The 2018 Facility included an accordion feature which allowed commitments to be increased up to $1,500,000 in the aggregate.

On September 9, 2019, we amended the 2018 Facility and closed an expanded revolving credit facility (the “2019 Facility” and collectively with the 2014 Facility and the 2018 Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The lenders had extended commitments of $1,077,500 as of March 31, 2021. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an accordion feature which allows commitments to be increased up to $1,500,000 in the aggregate. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on September 9, 2024. It includes a revolving period that extends through September 9, 2023, followed by an additional one-year amortization period, with distributions allowed to Prospect after the completion of the revolving period. During such one-year amortization period, all principal payments on the pledged assets will be applied to reduce the balance. At the end of the one-year amortization period, the remaining balance will become due, if required by the lenders.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictions pertaining to the geographic and industry concentrations of funded loans, maximum size of funded loans, interest rate payment frequency of funded loans, maturity dates of funded loans and minimum

equity requirements. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains certain requirements relating to portfolio performance, including required minimum portfolio yield and limitations on delinquencies and charge-offs, violation of which could result in the early termination of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires the maintenance of a minimum liquidity requirement. As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants.
Interest on borrowings under the 2019 Facility is one-month LIBOR plus 220 basis points. Additionally, the lenders charge a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to either 50 basis points if more than 60% of the credit facility is drawn, or 100 basis points if more than 35% and an amount less than or equal to 60% of the credit facility is drawn, or 150 basis points if an amount less than or equal to 35% of the credit facility is drawn. The 2019 Facility requires us to pledge assets as collateral in order to borrow under the credit facility.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the average stated interest rate (i.e., rate in effect plus the spread) and average outstanding borrowings for the Revolving Credit Facility were as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,Nine Months Ended March 31,
2021202020212020
Average stated interest rate2.32%3.54%2.35%3.84%
Average outstanding balance$373,734$262,084$376,646$161,373
As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, we had $424,167 and $545,496, respectively, available to us for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $343,537 and $237,536 outstanding borrowings as of the respective balance sheet dates. As of March 31, 2021, the investments, including cash and cash equivalents, used as collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility had an aggregate fair value of $1,594,834, which represents 26.7% of our total investments, including cash and cash equivalents. These assets are held and owned by PCF, a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, and, as such, these investments are not available to our general creditors. As additional eligible investments are transferred to PCF and pledged under the Revolving Credit Facility, PCF will generate additional availability up to the current commitment amount of $1,077,500. The release of any assets from PCF requires the approval of the facility agent.
In connection with the origination and amendments of the Revolving Credit Facility, we incurred $10,904 of new fees and $7,787 were carried over for continuing participants from the previous facilities, all of which are being amortized over the term of the facility in accordance with ASC 470-50. As of March 31, 2021, $7,510 remains to be amortized and is reflected as deferred financing costs on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we recorded $4,509 and $5,867, respectively, of interest costs, unused fees and amortization of financing costs on the Revolving Credit Facility as interest expense. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we recorded $13,772 and $16,841, respectively, of interest costs, unused fees and amortization of financing costs on the Revolving Credit Facility as interest expense.

The registration statement permits us to issue, through one or more transactions, an indeterminate amount of securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, subscription rights to purchase our securities, warrants representing rights to purchase our securities or separately tradeable units combining two or more of our securities.
Preferred Stock
On August 3, 2020, we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with Preferred Capital Securities, LLC (“PCS”), pursuant to which PCS has agreed to serve as the Company’s agent, principal distributor and dealer manager for the Company’s offering of up to 40,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. Such Preferred Stock will initially be issued in multiple series, including the 5.50% Series A1 Preferred Stock (“Series A1 Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series M1 Preferred Stock (“Series M1 Preferred Stock”), and the 5.50% Series M2 Preferred Stock (“Series M2 Preferred Stock”, and together with the Series M1 Preferred Stock, the “Series M Preferred Stock”). In connection with such offering, on August 3, 2020, we filed Articles Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, reclassifying and designating 120,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock into shares of Preferred Stock as “Convertible Preferred Stock.” On October 30, 2020, we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with Incapital LLC, pursuant to which Incapital LLC has agreed to serve as the Company’s agent and dealer manager for the Company’s offering of up to 10,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of 5.50% Series AA1 Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the “Series AA1 Preferred Stock”, and together with the Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series M1 Preferred Stock and Series M2 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). In connection with such offering, on October 30, 2020, we filed Articles Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, reclassifying and designating 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock into shares of Preferred Stock as Convertible Preferred Stock.

In connection with the Preferred Stock Offering, effective August 3, 2020 and as amended on October 30, 2020, we adopted and amended, respectively, a Preferred Stock Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Preferred Stock DRIP”), pursuant to which holders of the Preferred Stock will have dividends on their Preferred Stock automatically reinvested in additional shares of such Preferred Stock at a price per share of $25.00, if they elect.
Each series of preferred stock ranks (with respect to the payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) (a) senior to our common stock, (b) on parity with each other series of our preferred stock, and (c) junior to our existing and future secured and unsecured indebtedness. See Note 8, Fair Value and Maturity of Debt Outstanding for further discussion on our senior securities.
At any time prior to the listing of the Preferred Stock on a national securities exchange, shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder of the Preferred Stock (the “Holder Optional Conversion”). We will settle any Holder Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the Settlement Amount (as defined below) that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of shares of our common stock over each of the five consecutive trading days ending on the Holder Conversion Exercise Date (as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement)(such arithmetic average, the “5-day VWAP”). For the Series A1 Preferred Stock and the Series AA1 Preferred Stock, “Settlement Amount” means (A) $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”), plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the Holder Conversion Exercise Date, minus (C) the A Share Holder Optional Conversion Fee (as described in the prospectus supplement relating to the Series A1 Preferred Stock or the Series AA1 Preferred Stock, as applicable) applicable on the respective Holder Conversion Deadline (as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement). For the Series M Preferred Stock, “Settlement Amount” means (A) the Stated Value, plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the Holder Conversion Exercise Date, but if a holder of Series M Preferred Stock exercises a Holder Optional Conversion within the first twelve months of issuance of such Series M Preferred Stock, the Settlement Amount payable to such holder will be reduced by the aggregate amount of all dividends, whether paid or accrued, on such Series M Preferred Stock in the three full months prior to the Holder Conversion Exercise Date. Subject to certain limited exceptions, we will not pay any portion of the Settlement Amount in cash (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock) until the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of Preferred Stock has been issued. Beginning on the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of Preferred Stock is issued, we may elect to settle all or a portion of any Holder Optional Conversion in cash without limitation or restriction. The right of holders to convert a share of Preferred Stock will terminate upon the listing of such share on a national securities exchange.
Subject to certain limited exceptions allowing earlier redemption, beginning on the earlier of the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of Preferred Stock has been issued, or, for listed shares of Preferred Stock, five years from the earliest date on which any series that has been listed was first issued (the earlier of such dates, the “Redemption Eligibility Date”), such share of Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time or from time to time at our option (the “Issuer Optional Redemption”), at a redemption price of 100% of the Stated Value of the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed plus unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

Subject to certain limitations, each share of Preferred Stock may be converted at our option (the “Issuer Optional Conversion”). We will settle any Issuer Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount (as defined below) that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the IOC Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the 5-day VWAP, subject to our ability to obtain or maintain any stockholder approval that may be required under the 1940 Act to permit us to sell our common stock below net asset value if the 5-day VWAP represents a discount to our net asset value per share of common stock. For both the Series A1 Preferred Stock and the Series M Preferred Stock, “IOC Settlement Amount” means (A) the Stated Value, plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the date fixed for conversion. Subject to certain limited exceptions, we will not exercise an Issuer Optional Conversion with respect to a share of Preferred Stock until after the date set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement with respect to the Preferred Stock. In connection with an Issuer Optional Conversion, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or maintain any stockholder approval that may be required under the 1940 Act to permit us to sell our common stock below net asset value. If we do not have or obtain any required stockholder approval under the 1940 Act to sell our common stock below net asset value and the 5-day VWAP is at a discount to our net asset value per share of common stock, we will settle any conversions in connection with an Issuer Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the IOC Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the NAV per share of common stock at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date of conversion. We will not pay any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount from an Issuer Optional Conversion in cash (other than

cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock) until the Redemption Eligibility Date. Beginning on the Redemption Eligibility Date, we may elect to settle any Issuer Optional Conversion in cash without limitation or restriction. In the event that we exercise an Issuer Optional Conversion with respect to any shares of Preferred Stock, the holder of such Preferred Stock may instead elect a Holder Optional Conversion with respect to such Preferred Stock provided that the date of conversion for such Holder Optional Conversion would occur prior to the date of conversion for an Issuer Optional Conversion.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we issued 2,657,101 shares of our 5.50% Series A1 Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $61,428 and 21,760 shares of our 5.50% Series M1 Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $544, each excluding offering costs and preferred stock dividend reinvestments.
Shares of the Preferred Stock will pay a monthly dividend, when and if declared by the Board, at a fixed annual rate of 5.50% per annum of the Stated Value of $25.00 per share (computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), payable in cash or through the issuance of additional Preferred Stock through the Preferred Stock DRIP.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we distributed approximately $446 to our preferred stockholders, as summarized in the following table:

The above table includes dividends paid during the nine months ended March 31, 2021. It does not include distributions previously declared to preferred stockholders of record for any future dates, as those amounts are not yet determinable. The following dividends were previously declared and will be recorded and paid subsequent to March 31, 2021:
$0.114583 per share (before pro ration for partial period holders of record) for holders of record on April 21, 2021 with a payment date of May 3, 2021
$0.114583 per share (before pro ration for partial period holders of record) for holders of record on May 19, 2021 with a payment date of June 1, 2021
During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we issued 364 shares of our 5.50% Series A1 Preferred Stock, in connection with the preferred stock dividend reinvestment plan.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, 3,212 shares of our 5.50% Series A1 Preferred Stock were converted to 9,982 shares of our common stock, in connection with Holder Optional Conversions.
Common Stock
Our common stockholders’ equity accounts as of March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 reflect cumulative shares issued as of those respective dates. Our common stock has been issued through public offerings, a registered direct offering, the exercise of over-allotment options on the part of the underwriters, our common stock dividend reinvestment plan and in connection with the acquisition of certain controlled portfolio companies. When our common stock is issued, the related offering expenses have been charged against paid-in capital in excess of par. All underwriting fees and offering expenses were borne by us.
On August 24, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Program”) under which we may repurchase up to $100,000 of our common stock at prices below our net asset value per share. Prior to any repurchase, we are required to notify stockholders of our intention to purchase our common stock.
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the Repurchase Program for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the Repurchase Program is $65,860.

Excluding common stock dividend reinvestments, during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we did not issue any shares of our common stock.
On February 9, 2016, we amended our common stock dividend reinvestment plan that provided for reinvestment of our dividends or distributions on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash, to add the ability of stockholders to purchase additional common shares by making optional cash investments. Under the revised dividend reinvestment and direct common stock repurchase plan, stockholders may elect to purchase additional common shares through our transfer agent in the open market or in negotiated transactions.
On April 17, 2020, our Board of Directors approved further amendments to our common stock dividend reinvestment plan, effective May 21, 2020, that principally provide for the number of newly-issued shares of our common stock to be credited to a common stockholder’s account shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such common stockholder by 95% of the market price per share of our common stock at the close of regular trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date fixed by the Board of Directors for such distribution.
On March 15, 2021, we filed a notice of meeting and the definitive proxy statement in connection with a special meeting of our stockholders that is scheduled to be held on June 11, 2021 for the purpose of asking our stockholders to vote on a proposal to authorize us, with approval of our Board of Directors, to sell shares of our common stock at a price or prices below our then current net asset value per share in one or more offerings during the next 12 months following such approval, subject to certain conditions.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we distributed approximately $206,288 and $198,455, respectively, to our common stockholders. The following table summarizes our distributions declared and payable for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021.

Note 11. Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets per Common Share
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, less preferred dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding using the if-converted method for Preferred Stock (Refer to Note 9). Diluted earnings per share excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we did not have potential common shares that would be antidilutive.
The following information sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020:

Note 12. Income Taxes
While our fiscal year end for financial reporting purposes is June 30 of each year, our tax year end is August 31 of each year. The information presented in this footnote is based on our tax year end for each period presented, unless otherwise specified.
For income tax purposes, dividends paid and distributions made to stockholders are reported as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. The tax character of dividends paid to stockholders during the tax years ended August 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 were as follows:

As of August 26, 2020 when our prior Form 10-K was filed for the year ended June 30, 2020, we estimated our distributions for the fiscal and tax years disclosed therein to be distributions of ordinary income. Subsequent to our filing date, we obtained more information from our underlying investments as to the character of the distributions for the tax year ended August 31, 2020, which resulted in changes to distributions previously disclosed in our Form 10-K filing. As a result of the change, our total distributable loss on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the year ended June 30, 2020 changed from $1,015,387 to $930,930, with $84,457 being reclassified to distributions from capital. The remaining reclassification of tax distributions classified as return of capital for the tax year ended August 31, 2020 have been adjusted in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. This adjustment results in an increase to distributable earnings of $12,263 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

We generate certain types of income that may be exempt from U.S. withholding tax when distributed to non-U.S. stockholders. Under IRC Section 871(k), a RIC is permitted to designate distributions of qualified interest income and short-term capital gains as exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to non-U.S. stockholders with proper documentation. For the 2021 calendar year, 43.97% of our distributions as of March 31, 2021 qualified as interest related dividends which are exempt from U.S. withholding tax applicable to non-U.S. stockholders.

For the tax year ending August 31, 2021, the tax character of dividends paid to stockholders through March 31, 2021 is expected to be ordinary income and return of capital however due to the difference between our fiscal and tax year ends, the final determination of the tax character of dividends between ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ending August 31, 2021.

Taxable income generally differs from net increase in net assets resulting from operations for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized gains or losses, as unrealized gains or losses are generally not included in taxable income until they are realized. The following reconciles the net increase in net assets resulting from operations to taxable income for the tax years ended August 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018:

Capital losses in excess of capital gains earned in a tax year may generally be carried forward and used to offset capital gains, subject to certain limitations. As of August 31, 2020, we had capital loss carryforwards of approximately $105,359 available for use in later tax years. The unused balance each year will be carried forward and utilized as gains are realized, subject to limitations. While our ability to utilize losses in the future depends upon a variety of factors that cannot be known in advance, some of the Company’s capital loss carryforwards may become permanently unavailable due to limitations by the Code.
For the tax year ended August 31, 2020, we had no cumulative taxable income in excess of cumulative distributions.
As of March 31, 2021, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $5,907,321 resulting in an estimated net unrealized loss of $23,993. As of March 31, 2021, the gross unrealized gains and losses were $1,059,691 and $1,083,684, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $5,778,417 resulting in an estimated net unrealized loss of $546,089. As of June 30, 2020, the gross unrealized gains and losses were $654,709 and $1,200,798, respectively. Due to the

difference between our fiscal year end and tax year end, the cost basis of our investments for tax purposes as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020 was calculated based on the book cost of investments as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively, with cumulative book-to-tax adjustments for investments through August 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In general, we may make certain adjustments to the classification of net assets as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, which may include merger-related items, differences in the book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, and nondeductible federal excise taxes, among other items. During the tax year ended August 31, 2020, we decreased overdistributed net investment income by $57 and decreased capital in excess of par value by $57. During the tax year ended August 31, 2019, we decreased overdistributed net investment income by $78 and decreased capital in excess of par value by $78. Due to the difference between our fiscal and tax year end, the reclassifications for the taxable year ended August 31, 2019 is being recorded in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 and the reclassifications for the taxable year ended August 31, 2018 were recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

Investment Advisory Agreement
We have entered into an investment advisory and management agreement with the Investment Adviser (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) under which the Investment Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, us. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser: (i) determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes, (ii) identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments we make (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies), and (iii) closes and monitors investments we make.
The Investment Adviser’s services under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and it is free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its services to us are not impaired. For providing these services the Investment Adviser receives a fee from us, consisting of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee. The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 2.00% on our total assets. For services currently rendered under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The base management fee is calculated based on the average value of our gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. The total gross base management fee incurred to the favor of the Investment Adviser was $29,183 and $26,625 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The total gross base management fee incurred to the favor of the Investment Advisor was $83,866 and $82,631 during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively.
The incentive fee has two parts. The first part, the income incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees and other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement described below, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital gains or losses. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized).
The net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of the gross assets used to calculate the 2.00% base management fee. We pay the Investment Adviser an income incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: 
No incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate;
100.00% of our 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 125.00% of the quarterly hurdle rate in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized assuming a 7.00% annualized hurdle rate); and
91

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

20.00% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 125.00% of the quarterly hurdle rate in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized assuming a 7.00% annualized hurdle rate).
These calculations are appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current quarter.
The second part of the incentive fee, the capital gains incentive fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals 20.00% of our realized capital gains for the calendar year, if any, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation at the end of such year. In determining the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Investment Adviser, we calculate the aggregate realized capital gains, aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, as applicable, with respect to each investment that has been in our portfolio. For the purpose of this calculation, an “investment” is defined as the total of all rights and claims which may be asserted against a portfolio company arising from our participation in the debt, equity, and other financial instruments issued by that company. Aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equal the sum of the differences between the aggregate net sales price of each investment and the aggregate amortized cost basis of such investment when sold or otherwise disposed. Aggregate realized capital losses equal the sum of the amounts by which the aggregate net sales price of each investment is less than the aggregate amortized cost basis of such investment when sold or otherwise disposed. Aggregate unrealized capital depreciation equals the sum of the differences, if negative, between the aggregate valuation of each investment and the aggregate amortized cost basis of such investment as of the applicable calendar year-end. At the end of the applicable calendar year, the amount of capital gains that serves as the basis for our calculation of the capital gains incentive fee involves netting aggregate realized capital gains against aggregate realized capital losses on a since-inception basis and then reducing this amount by the aggregate unrealized capital depreciation. If this number is positive, then the capital gains incentive fee payable is equal to 20.00% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees paid since inception.
The total income incentive fee incurred was $18,251 and $17,119 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The fees incurred for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 were $53,354 and $51,855, respectively. No capital gains incentive fee was incurred during the three or nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. Income incentive fee for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 includes a $264 adjustment for fees earned in prior periods that were neither expensed nor paid to the Investment Adviser.
Administration Agreement
We have also entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Prospect Administration under which Prospect Administration, among other things, provides (or arranges for the provision of) administrative services and facilities for us. For providing these services, we reimburse Prospect Administration for our allocable portion of overhead incurred by Prospect Administration in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and her staff, including the internal legal staff. Under this agreement, Prospect Administration furnishes us with office facilities, equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities. Prospect Administration also performs, or oversees the performance of, our required administrative services, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, Prospect Administration assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. Under the Administration Agreement, Prospect Administration also provides on our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance (see Managerial Assistance section below). The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party. Prospect Administration is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Adviser.
The Administration Agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, Prospect Administration and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from us for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of Prospect Administration’s services under the Administration Agreement or otherwise as administrator for us. Our payments to Prospect Administration are reviewed quarterly by our Board of Directors.

The allocation of net overhead expense from Prospect Administration was $2,685 and $4,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively.
The allocation of net overhead expense from Prospect Administration was $10,768 and $13,601 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Prospect Administration received estimated payments of $1,038 and $1,225 directly from our portfolio companies, and certain funds managed by the Investment Adviser for legal services during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, we were given a credit in the amount of $3,522 for legal expenses incurred on behalf of our portfolio companies that were remitted to Prospect Administration during the three months ended March 31, 2021. We were given a credit for these payments as a reduction of the administrative services cost payable by us to Prospect Administration. Had Prospect Administration not received these payments, Prospect Administration’s charges for its administrative services would have increased by this amount.
Managerial Assistance
As a BDC, we are obligated under the 1940 Act to make available to certain of our portfolio companies significant managerial assistance. “Making available significant managerial assistance” refers to any arrangement whereby we provide significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations, or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company. We are also deemed to be providing managerial assistance to all portfolio companies that we control, either by ourselves or in conjunction with others. The nature and extent of significant managerial assistance provided by us to controlled and non-controlled portfolio companies will vary according to the particular needs of each portfolio company. Examples of such activities include (i) advice on recruiting, hiring, management and termination of employees, officers and directors, succession planning and other human resource matters; (ii) advice on capital raising, capital budgeting, and capital expenditures; (iii) advice on advertising, marketing, and sales; (iv) advice on fulfillment, operations, and execution; (v) advice on managing relationships with unions and other personnel organizations, financing sources, vendors, customers, lessors, lessees, lawyers, accountants, regulators and other important counterparties; (vi) evaluating acquisition and divestiture opportunities, plant expansions and closings, and market expansions; (vii) participating in audit committee, nominating committee, board and management meetings; (viii) consulting with and advising board members and officers of portfolio companies (on overall strategy and other matters); and (ix) providing other organizational, operational, managerial and financial guidance.
Prospect Administration, when performing a managerial assistance agreement executed with each portfolio company to which we provide managerial assistance, arranges for the provision of such managerial assistance on our behalf. When doing so, Prospect Administration utilizes personnel of our Investment Adviser. We, on behalf of Prospect Administration, invoice portfolio companies receiving and paying for managerial assistance, and we remit to Prospect Administration its cost of providing such services, including the charges deemed appropriate by our Investment Adviser for providing such managerial assistance. No income is recognized by Prospect.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we received payments of $1,835 and $2,010, respectively, from our portfolio companies for managerial assistance and subsequently remitted these amounts to Prospect Administration. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we received payments of $5,655 and $3,310, respectively, from our portfolio companies for managerial assistance and subsequently remitted these amounts to Prospect Administration.
Co-Investments
On January 13, 2020, we received an exemptive order from the SEC (the “Order”), which suspended a prior co-investment exemptive order granted on February 10, 2014, that gave us the ability to negotiate terms other than price and quantity of co-investment transactions with other funds managed by the Investment Adviser or certain affiliates, including Priority Income Fund, Inc. and Prospect Flexible Income Fund, Inc. (f/k/a TP Flexible Income Fund, Inc.), where co-investing would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, subject to the conditions included therein. 
Under the terms of the Order, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors must make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our investment objective and strategies. In certain situations where a co-investment with one or more funds managed or owned by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates is not covered by the Order, such as when there is an opportunity to invest in different securities of the same issuer, the personnel of the Investment Adviser or its affiliates will need to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. Such personnel will make these determinations based on policies and procedures, which are designed to reasonably ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and
93

PROSPECT CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

equitably among affiliated funds over time and in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Moreover, except in certain circumstances, when relying on the Order, we will be unable to invest in any issuer in which one or more funds managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates has previously invested.
We reimburse CLO investment valuation services fees initially incurred by Priority Income Fund, Inc. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we recognized expenses that were reimbursed for valuation services of $32 and $36, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we recognized expenses that were reimbursed for valuation services of $95 and $123, respectively. Conversely, Priority Income Fund, Inc. and Prospect Flexible Income Fund, Inc. (f/k/a TP Flexible Income Fund, Inc.) reimburse us for software fees, expenses which were initially incurred by Prospect. As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, we accrued a receivable from Priority Income Fund, Inc. and Prospect Flexible Income Fund, Inc. (f/k/a TP Flexible Income Fund, Inc.) for software fees of $0 and $36, respectively, which will be reimbursed to us.

aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% 2024 Notes were validly tendered and accepted. Following settlement of the April Tender Offers on May 7, 2021, approximately $284,219 aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes and $81,389 aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% 2024 Notes remain outstanding.
On April 8, 2021 and April 22, 2021, we issued a total of 483,282 shares of our 5.50% Series A1 Preferred Stock and 63,626 shares of our 5.50% Series M1 Preferred Stock, excluding shares issued via the Preferred Stock Dividend Reinvestment Plan, for net proceeds of $12,539.
On April 16, 2021, we entered a new $31,778 Second Lien Term Loan investment and a new $18,222 Delayed Draw Term Loan commitment with Redstone Buyer, LLC, a provider of cybersecurity and risk management services. Our new investments settled on April 30, 2021, with the Delayed Draw Term Loan unfunded at close.
On April 28, 2021, we completed an extension of the Revolving Credit Facility (the “New Facility”) for PCF, extending the term 5.7 years from such date and reducing the interest rate on drawn amounts to one-month LIBOR plus 2.05%. The New Facility, for which $1,082,500 of commitments have been closed to date, includes an accordion feature that allows the New Facility, at Prospect's discretion, to accept up to a total of $1,500,000 of commitments. The New Facility matures on April 27, 2026. It includes a revolving period that extends through April 27, 2025, followed by an additional one-year amortization period. Pricing for amounts drawn under the Facility is one-month LIBOR plus 2.05%, which achieves a 15 basis point reduction in the interest rate from the previous facility rate of LIBOR plus 2.20%. Additionally, the lenders charge a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to either 40 basis points if more than 60% of the credit facility is drawn, or 70 basis points if more than 35% and an amount less than or equal to 60% of the credit facility is drawn, or 150 basis points if an amount less than or equal to 35% of the credit facility is drawn.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(All figures in this item are in thousands except share, per share and other data.)
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from any results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to the factors discussed in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere herein.
Overview
The terms “Prospect,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Prospect Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically requires otherwise.

Prospect is a financial services company that primarily lends to and invests in middle market privately-held companies. We are a closed-end investment company incorporated in Maryland. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). As a BDC, we have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). We were organized on April 13, 2004, and were funded in an initial public offering completed on July 27, 2004.

On May 15, 2007, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary Prospect Capital Funding LLC (“PCF”), a Delaware limited liability company and a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which holds certain of our portfolio loan investments that are used as collateral for the revolving credit facility at PCF. Our wholly owned subsidiary Prospect Small Business Lending, LLC (“PSBL”) was formed on January 27, 2014, and purchased small business whole loans from online small business loan originators, including On Deck Capital, Inc. (“OnDeck”). On September 30, 2014, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary Prospect Yield Corporation, LLC (“PYC”) and effective October 23, 2014, PYC holds a portion of our collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), which we also refer to as subordinated structured notes ("SSNs"). Each of these subsidiaries have been consolidated since operations commenced.
We consolidate certain of our wholly owned and substantially wholly owned holding companies formed by us in order to facilitate our investment strategy. The following companies are included in our consolidated financial statements and are collectively referred to as the “Consolidated Holding Companies”: CP Holdings of Delaware LLC (“CP Holdings”); Credit Central Holdings of Delaware, LLC (“Credit Central Delaware”); Energy Solutions Holdings Inc.; First Tower Holdings of Delaware LLC (“First Tower Delaware”); MITY Holdings of Delaware Inc. (“MITY Delaware”); Nationwide Acceptance Holdings LLC; NMMB Holdings, Inc. (“NMMB Holdings”); NPH Property Holdings, LLC (“NPH”); Prospect Opportunity Holdings I, Inc. (“POHI”); SB Forging Company, Inc. (“SB Forging”); STI Holding, Inc.; UTP Holdings Group Inc. (“UTP Holdings”); Valley Electric Holdings I, Inc. (“Valley Holdings I”); and Valley Electric Holdings II, Inc. (“Valley Holdings II”).
We are externally managed by our investment adviser, Prospect Capital Management L.P. (“Prospect Capital Management” or the “Investment Adviser”). Prospect Administration LLC (“Prospect Administration”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Adviser, provides administrative services and facilities necessary for us to operate.
Our investment objective is to generate both current income and long-term capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in senior and subordinated secured debt and equity of private companies in need of capital for acquisitions, divestitures, growth, development, recapitalizations and other purposes. We work with the management teams or financial sponsors to seek investments with historical cash flows, asset collateral or contracted pro forma cash flows.
We currently have four primary strategies that guide our origination of investment opportunities: (1) lending to companies, including companies controlled by private equity sponsors and not controlled by private equity sponsors, and including both directly-originated loans and syndicated loans, (2) lending to companies and purchasing controlling equity positions in such companies, including both operating companies and financial services companies, (3) purchasing controlling equity positions and lending to real estate companies, and (4) investing in structured credit. We may also invest in other strategies and opportunities from time to time that we view as attractive. We continue to evaluate other origination strategies in the ordinary course of business with no specific top-down allocation to any single origination strategy.
111


Lending to Companies - We make directly-originated, agented loans to companies, including companies which are controlled by private equity sponsors and companies that are not controlled by private equity sponsors (such as companies that are controlled by the management team, the founder, a family or public shareholders). This debt can take the form of first lien, second lien, unitranche or unsecured loans. These loans typically have equity subordinate to our loan position. We may also purchase selected equity co-investments in such companies. In addition to directly-originated, agented loans, we also invest in senior and secured loans syndicated loans and high yield bonds that have been sold to a club or syndicate of buyers, both in the primary and secondary markets. These investments are often purchased with a long term, buy-and-hold outlook, and we often look to provide significant input to the transaction by providing anchoring orders. Historically, this strategy has comprised approximately 40%-60% of our portfolio.
Lending to Companies and Purchasing Controlling Equity Positions in Such Companies - This strategy involves purchasing senior and secured yield-producing debt and controlling equity positions in operating companies across various industries. We believe this strategy provides enhanced certainty of closure to sellers and the opportunity for management to continue on in their current roles. These investments are often structured in tax-efficient partnerships, enhancing returns. Historically, this strategy has comprised approximately 15%-25% of our portfolio.
Purchasing Controlling Equity Positions and Lending to Real Estate Companies - We purchase debt and controlling equity positions in tax-efficient real estate investment trusts (“REIT” or “REITs”). The real estate investments of National Property REIT Corp. (“NPRC”) are in various classes of developed and occupied real estate properties that generate current yields, including multi-family properties, student housing, and self-storage. NPRC seeks to identify properties that have historically significant occupancy rates and recurring cash flow generation. NPRC generally co-invests with established and experienced property management teams that manage such properties after acquisition. Additionally, NPRC makes investments in rated secured structured notes (primarily debt of structured credit). NPRC also purchases loans originated by certain consumer loan facilitators. It purchases each loan in its entirety (i.e., a “whole loan”). The borrowers are consumers, and the loans are typically serviced by the facilitators of the loans. Historically, this overall investment strategy has comprised approximately 10%-20% of our business.
Investing in Structured Credit - We make investments in structured credit, often taking a significant position in subordinated structured notes (equity) and rated secured structured notes (debt). The underlying portfolio of each structured credit investment is diversified across approximately 100 to 200 broadly syndicated loans and does not have direct exposure to real estate, mortgages, or consumer-based credit assets. The structured credit portfolios in which we invest are managed by established collateral management teams with many years of experience in the industry. Historically, this overall strategy has comprised approximately 10%-20% of our portfolio.
We invest primarily in first and second lien secured loans and unsecured debt, which in some cases includes an equity component. First and second lien secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of unsecured debt of a given portfolio company. These loans also have the benefit of security interests on the assets of the portfolio company, which may rank ahead of or be junior to other security interests. Our investments in structured credit are subordinated to senior loans and are generally unsecured. We invest in debt and equity positions of structured credit which are a form of securitization in which the cash flows of a portfolio of loans are pooled and passed on to different classes of owners in various tranches. Our structured credit investments are derived from portfolios of corporate debt securities which are generally risk rated from BB to B.
We hold many of our control investments in a two-tier structure consisting of a holding company and one or more related operating companies for tax purposes. These holding companies serve various business purposes including concentration of management teams, optimization of third-party borrowing costs, improvement of supplier, customer, and insurance terms, and enhancement of co-investments by the management teams. In these cases, our investment, which is generally equity in the holding company, the holding company’s equity investment in the operating company and any debt from us directly to the operating company structure represents our total exposure for the investment. As of March 31, 2021, as shown in our Consolidated Schedule of Investments, the cost basis and fair value of our investments in controlled companies was $2,425,409 and $2,721,942, respectively. This structure gives rise to several of the risks described in our public documents and highlighted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We consolidate all wholly owned and substantially wholly owned holding companies formed by us for the purpose of holding our controlled investments in operating companies. There is no significant effect of consolidating these holding companies as they hold minimal assets other than their investments in the controlled operating companies. Investment company accounting prohibits the consolidation of any operating companies.
On March 15, 2021, we filed a notice of meeting and the definitive proxy statement in connection with a special meeting of our stockholders that is scheduled to be held on June 11, 2021 for the purpose of asking our stockholders to vote on a proposal to authorize us, with approval of our Board of Directors, to sell shares of our common stock at a price or prices below our then

current net asset value per share in one or more offerings during the next 12 months following such approval, subject to certain conditions.
Third Quarter Highlights
Investment Transactions
We seek to be a long-term investor with our portfolio companies. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we acquired $176,762 of new investments, completed follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies totaling approximately $58,731, funded $2,000 of revolver advances, and recorded PIK interest of $20,926, resulting in gross investment originations of $258,419. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we received full repayments totaling $128,699, received $7 of revolver paydowns, and received several partial prepayments, scheduled principal amortization payments, and return of capital distributions, resulting in net repayments of $182,458.

Debt Issuances and Redemptions
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we repaid $1,333 aggregate principal amount of Prospect Capital InterNotes® at par in accordance with the Survivor’s Option, as defined in the InterNotes® Offering prospectus. In order to replace short maturity debt with longer-term debt, we redeemed $112,489 aggregate principal amount of Prospect Capital InterNotes® at par with a weighted average interest rate of 5.45%. As a result of these transactions, we recorded a loss in the amount of the unamortized debt issuance costs. The net loss on the extinguishment of Prospect Capital InterNotes® in the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1,031.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we issued $28,095 aggregate principal amount of Prospect Capital InterNotes® with a weighted average stated interest rate of 3.48%, to extend our borrowing base. The newly issued notes mature between January 15, 2024 and April 15, 2031 and generated net proceeds of $27,627.
On December 16, 2020, we commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of the $162,922 aggregate principal outstanding amount of the 2022 Notes at the purchase price of $103.50, plus accrued and unpaid interest (“2022 Notes December 2020 Tender Offer”). On January 15, 2021, $26,694 aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes, representing 16.38% of the previously outstanding 2022 Notes, were validly tendered and accepted. On February 1, 2021, we commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash up to $30,000 aggregate principal outstanding amount of the 2022 Notes at the purchase price of $103.00, plus accrued and unpaid interest (“2022 Notes February 2021 Tender Offer”). On March 2, 2021, $25,123 aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes, representing 18.44% of the previously outstanding 2022 Notes, were validly tendered and accepted.

On December 28, 2020, we commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash up to $20,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes at the purchase price of $111.00, plus accrued and unpaid interest (“2025 Notes December 2020 Tender Offer”). On January 27, 2021, $20,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes, representing 9.94% of the previously outstanding 2025 Notes, were validly tendered and accepted. The 2025 Notes December 2020 Tender Offer resulted in our recognizing a loss of $2,676 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. On February 16, 2021, we repurchased an additional $25,082 aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes at a price of $107.50, including commissions. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a loss of $2,466, in the amount of the difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the 2025 Notes, net of the proportionate amount of unamortized debt issuance costs.

On January 22, 2021, we issued $325,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes that mature on January 22, 2026 (the “Original 2026 Notes”). The Original 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.706% per year, payable semi-annually on July 22, and January 22 of each year, beginning on July 22, 2021. Total proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, were $317,720. On February 19, 2021, we issued an additional $75,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes that mature on January 22, 2026 (the “Additional 2026 Notes”, and together with the Original 2026 Notes, the “2026 Notes”). The Additional 2026 Notes were a further issuance of, and are fully fungible and rank equally in right of payment with, the Original 2026 Notes and bear interest at a rate of 3.706% per year, payable semi-annually on July 22 and January 22 of each year, beginning July 22, 2021. Total proceeds from the issuance of the Additional 2026 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, were $74,061.

We are a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. As required by the 1940 Act, we classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are those where there is the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, a beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the voting securities of an investee company. Under the 1940 Act, “Affiliate Investments” are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist through the possession outright or via the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another person. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.
As of March 31, 2021, we own controlling interests in the following portfolio companies: CP Energy Services Inc. (“CP Energy”); Credit Central Loan Company, LLC (“Credit Central”); Echelon Transportation, LLC (“Echelon”); First Tower Finance Company LLC (“First Tower Finance”); Freedom Marine Solutions, LLC (“Freedom Marine”); InterDent, Inc.

Investment Valuation
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, management and the independent valuation firm look at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. In determining the range of values for debt instruments where market quotations are not available, except CLOs and debt investments in controlling portfolio companies, management and the independent valuation firm estimated corporate and security credit ratings and identified corresponding yields to maturity for each loan from relevant market data. A discounted cash flow technique was then applied using the appropriate yield to maturity as the discount rate, to determine a range of values. In determining the range of values for debt investments of controlled companies and equity investments, the enterprise value was determined by applying a market approach such as using earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples, net income and/or book value multiples for similar guideline public companies and/or similar recent investment transactions and/or an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow technique. The enterprise value technique may also be used to value debt investments which are credit impaired. For stressed debt and equity investments, asset recovery analysis was used.
In determining the range of values for our investments in CLOs, the independent valuation firm uses a discounted multi-path cash flow model. The valuations were accomplished through the analysis of the CLO deal structures to identify the risk exposures from the modeling point of view as well as to determine an appropriate call date (i.e., expected maturity). These risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations, which are simulations used to model the probability of different outcomes, to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows for the underlying assets and liabilities. These cash flows are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market and certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment. In addition, we generate a single-path cash flow utilizing our best estimate of expected cash receipts, and assess the reasonableness of the implied discount rate that would be effective for the value derived from the corresponding multi-path cash flow model.
With respect to our online consumer and SME lending initiative, we invest primarily in marketplace loans through marketplace lending platforms.  We do not conduct loan origination activities ourselves. Therefore, our ability to purchase consumer and SME loans, and our ability to grow our portfolio of consumer and SME loans, are directly influenced by the business performance and competitiveness of the marketplace loan origination business of the marketplace lending platforms from which we purchase consumer and SME loans. In addition, our ability to analyze the risk-return profile of consumer and SME loans is significantly dependent on the marketplace platforms’ ability to effectively evaluate a borrower’s credit profile and likelihood of default. If we are unable to effectively evaluate borrowers’ credit profiles or the credit decisioning and scoring models implemented by each platform, we may incur unanticipated losses which could adversely impact our operating results.
The Board of Directors looked at several factors in determining where within the range to value the asset including: recent operating and financial trends for the asset, independent ratings obtained from third parties, comparable multiples for recent sales of companies within the industry and discounted cash flow models for our investments in CLOs. The composite of all these various valuation techniques, applied to each investment, was a total valuation of $5,883,328.
Our portfolio companies are generally lower middle market companies, outside of the financial sector, with less than $100,000 of annual EBITDA. We believe our investment portfolio has experienced less volatility than others because we believe there are more buy and hold investors who own these less liquid investments.
Impact of the novel coronavirus (the “Wuhan Virus”) pandemic
As of March 31, 2021, there remains to be global uncertainty surrounding the Wuhan Virus pandemic, which has caused severe disruptions in the global economy and has negatively impacted the fair value and performance of certain investments since the pandemic began. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the resulting changes in net unrealized depreciation on investments were largely due to widening credit spreads as market participants expected a higher yield on similar investments given the significant market volatility generated by the Wuhan Virus pandemic. To a lesser extent, the changes in net unrealized depreciation on investments for certain of our portfolio companies also reflected other factors such as specific industry concerns, uncertainty about the duration of business shutdowns and near-term liquidity needs. For additional information concerning the Wuhan Virus pandemic and its potential impact on our business and our operating results, see Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors, “Risk Factors - The Wuhan Virus pandemic has caused severe disruptions in the global economy, which has had, and may continue to have, a negative impact on our portfolio companies and our business and operations.”

Control Company Investments
Control investments offer increased risk and reward over straight debt investments. Operating results and changes in market multiples can result in dramatic changes in values from quarter to quarter. Significant downturns in operations can further result in our looking to recoveries on sales of assets rather than the enterprise value of the investment. Equity positions in our portfolio are susceptible to potentially significant changes in value, both increases as well as decreases, due to changes in operating results and market multiples. Our controlled companies discussed below experienced such changes and we recorded corresponding fluctuations in valuations during the nine months ended March 31, 2021.
CP Energy Services Inc.
Prospect owns 100% of the equity of CP Holdings, a Consolidated Holding Company. CP Holdings owns 99.8% of the equity of CP Energy, and the remaining equity is owned by CP Energy management. CP Energy provides oilfield flowback services and fluid hauling and disposal services through its subsidiaries.
On April 6, 2018, Arctic Oilfield Equipment USA, Inc. (“Arctic Equipment”), a previously controlled portfolio company, merged with and into CP Energy, with CP Energy continuing as the surviving corporation. In June 2019, CP Energy purchased a controlling interest in the common equity of Spartan Holdings, which owns 100% of Spartan, a portfolio company of Prospect with $13,156 in senior secured term loans due to us as of March 31, 2021. As a result of CP Energy’s purchase, and given Prospect’s controlling interest in CP Energy, our Spartan Term Loan A is presented as control investments under CP Energy beginning June 30, 2019. Spartan remains the direct borrower and guarantor to Prospect for the Spartan Term Loans. On December 30, 2019, Wolf Energy LLC, Wolf Energy Services LLC, and AEH LLC (collectively referred to as “Wolf Energy”), a previously controlled portfolio company, merged with and into CP Energy, with CP Energy continuing as the surviving corporation. See Note 14 in our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
The fair value of our investment in CP Energy decreased to $63,231 as of March 31, 2021, which is a discount of $165,786 from its amortized cost, compared to a fair value of $69,885 as of June 30, 2020, representing a discount of $152,841 to its amortized cost. The increase in discount to amortized cost resulted from a decline in financial performance and corresponding valuation multiples as a result of headwinds in the oil and gas industry, primarily associated with the demand imbalance stemming from the novel coronavirus.
Credit Central Loan Company, LLC
Prospect owns 100% of the equity of Credit Central Delaware, a consolidated holding company. Credit Central Delaware owns 98.63% of Credit Central, with entities owned by Credit Central management owning the remaining 1.37% of the equity.

The fair value of our investment in Credit Central decreased to $71,144 as of March 31, 2021, which is a discount of $13,660 from its amortized cost, compared to a fair value of $75,685 as of June 30, 2020, representing a discount of $3,517 to its amortized cost basis. The increase in discount to amortized cost resulted from a decline in financial performance and corresponding valuation multiples, as well as an increase in Credit Central’s cost basis.

Echelon Transportation, LLC

Prospect owns 100% of the equity of Echelon, a consolidated holding company. Echelon owns 60.7% of the equity of AerLift. Echelon is an aircraft leasing company.

The increase in discount to amortized cost resulted from lower aircraft residual values, as well as an increase in Echelon’s cost basis.

First Tower Finance Company LLC
Prospect owns 100% of the equity of First Tower Delaware, a consolidated holding company. First Tower Delaware owns 80.1% of First Tower Finance. First Tower Finance owns 100% of First Tower, LLC (“First Tower”), a multiline specialty finance company.

The fair value of our investment in NPRC increased to $1,084,385 as of March 31, 2021, a premium of $374,463 from its amortized cost basis compared to a fair value of $878,733 as of June 30, 2020, representing a premium of $267,315. The increase in premium is primarily driven by compression of capitalization rates and, to a lesser extent, growth in net operating income in our real estate portfolio.

USES Corp.

Prospect owns 99.96% of the equity of USES Corp. as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020.
The fair value of our investment in USES increased to $37,401 as of March 31, 2021, a discount of $30,818 from its amortized cost basis, compared to a fair value of $17,325 as of June 30, 2020, representing a discount of $48,894 to it amortized cost. The decrease in discount to amortized cost resulted from improved financial performance.
Valley Electric Company, Inc.

Prospect owns 100% of the common stock of Valley Holdings I, a Consolidated Holding Company. Valley Holdings I owns 100% of Valley Holdings II, a Consolidated Holding Company. Valley Holdings II owns 94.99% of Valley Electric, with Valley Electric management owning the remaining 5.01% of the equity. Valley Electric owns 100% of the equity of VE Company, Inc., which owns 100% of the equity of Valley Electric Co. of Mt. Vernon, Inc. (“Valley”), a leading provider of specialty electrical services in the state of Washington and among the top electrical contractors in the United States.

The fair value of our investment in Valley Electric increased to $145,707 as of March 31, 2021, a premium of $75,772 to its amortized cost, compared to a fair value of $129,296 as of June 30, 2020, representing a $60,422 premium to its amortized cost. The increase in premium to amortized cost was driven by strong financial performance and improving market conditions.

Our controlled investments, including those discussed above, are valued at $296,533 above their amortized cost as of March 31, 2021.
Affiliate and Non-Control Company Investments

We hold three affiliate investments at March 31, 2021 with a total fair value of $299,985, a premium of $131,635 from their combined amortized cost, compared to a fair value of $187,537 as of June 30, 2020, representing a $24,053 premium to its amortized cost. The increase in premium is primarily driven by our investment in PGX Holdings, Inc. (“Progrexion”), which is valued at a premium of $108,007 at March 31, 2021 compared to a premium of $180 as of June 30, 2020. The increase in Progrexion’s premium to amortized cost was driven by strong financial performance.
With the non-control/non-affiliate investments, generally, there is less volatility related to our total investments because our equity positions tend to be smaller than with our control/affiliate investments, and debt investments are generally not as susceptible to large swings in value as equity investments. For debt investments, the fair value is generally limited on the high side to each loan’s par value, plus any prepayment premium that could be imposed. However, as of March 31, 2021, two of our non-control/ non-affiliate investments, Engine Group, Inc. (“Engine”) and USC are valued at discounts to amortized cost of $28,254 and $96,320, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, our CLO investment portfolio is valued at a $343,327 discount to amortized cost. Excluding Engine, USC, and the CLO investment portfolio, the fair value of our non-control/non-affiliate investments at March 31, 2021 increased and are valued at $7,920 above their amortized cost, compared to a discount of
123


$35,674 recorded at June 30, 2020. This increase is driven largely by tightening credit spreads as market participants expected a lower yield on similar investments given the level of volatility generated by the Wuhan Virus pandemic declined.
Capitalization
Our investment activities are capital intensive and the availability and cost of capital is a critical component of our business. We capitalize our business with a combination of debt and equity. Our debt as of March 31, 2021 consists of: a Revolving Credit Facility availing us of the ability to borrow debt subject to borrowing base determinations; Convertible Notes which we issued in April 2017 (with a follow-on issuance in May 2018) and March 2019; Public Notes which we issued in March 2013, June 2018 (and from time to time through our 2028 Notes Follow-on Program), October 2018, December 2018 (and from time to time through our 2029 Notes Follow-on Program), and January 2021; and Prospect Capital InterNotes® which we issue from time to time.

We may from time to time seek to cancel or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The amounts involved may be material. In addition, we may from time to time enter into additional debt facilities, increase the size of existing facilities or issue additional debt securities, including secured debt, unsecured debt and/or debt securities convertible into common stock. Any such purchases or exchanges of outstanding debt would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors.
Historically, we have funded a portion of our cash needs through borrowings from banks, issuances of senior securities, including secured, unsecured and convertible debt securities, or issuances of common equity. For flexibility, we maintain a universal shelf registration statement that allows for the public offering and sale of our debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, and warrants and units to purchase such securities up to an indeterminate amount. We may from time to time issue securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement or otherwise pursuant to private offerings. The issuance of debt or equity securities will depend on future market conditions, funding needs and other factors and there can be no assurance that any such issuance will occur or be successful.

Each of our Convertible Notes, Public Notes and Prospect Capital InterNotes® (collectively, our “Unsecured Notes”) are our general, unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to any of our subordinated indebtedness that may be issued in the future. The Unsecured Notes are effectively subordinated to our existing secured indebtedness, such as our credit facility, and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to any existing and future liabilities and other indebtedness of any of our subsidiaries.

On August 29, 2014, we renegotiated our previous credit facility and closed an expanded five and a half year revolving credit facility (the “2014 Facility”). The lenders had extended commitments of $885,000 under the 2014 Facility as of June 30, 2018. The 2014 Facility included an accordion feature which allowed commitments to be increased up to $1,500,000 in the aggregate. Interest on borrowings under the 2014 Facility was one-month LIBOR plus 225 basis points. Additionally, the lenders charged a fee on the unused portion of the 2014 Facility equal to either 50 basis points if at least 35% of the credit facility was drawn or 100 basis points otherwise.
On August 1, 2018, we renegotiated the 2014 Facility and closed an expanded five and a half year revolving credit facility (the “2018 Facility”). The lenders have extended commitments of $1,132,500 as of June 30, 2019. The 2018 Facility included an accordion feature which allowed commitments to be increased up to $1,500,000 in the aggregate.

On September 9, 2019, we amended the 2018 Facility and closed an expanded revolving credit facility (the “2019 Facility” and collectively with the 2014 Facility and the 2018 Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The lenders had extended commitments of $1,077,500 as of March 31, 2021. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an accordion feature which allows commitments to be increased up to $1,500,000 in the aggregate. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on September 9, 2024. It includes a revolving period that extends through September 9, 2023, followed by an additional one-year amortization period, with distributions allowed to Prospect after the completion of the revolving period. During such one-year amortization period, all principal payments on the pledged assets will be applied to reduce the balance. At the end of the one-year amortization period, the remaining balance will become due, if required by the lenders.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains restrictions pertaining to the geographic and industry concentrations of funded loans, maximum size of funded loans, interest rate payment frequency of funded loans, maturity dates of funded loans and minimum equity requirements. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains certain requirements relating to portfolio performance, including required minimum portfolio yield and limitations on delinquencies and charge-offs, violation of which could result in the early termination of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires the maintenance of a minimum liquidity requirement. As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants.
Interest on borrowings under the 2019 Facility is one-month LIBOR plus 220 basis points. Additionally, the lenders charge a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to either 50 basis points if more than 60% of the credit facility is drawn, or 100 basis points if more than 35% and an amount less than or equal to 60% of the credit facility is drawn, or 150 basis points if an amount less than or equal to 35% of the credit facility is drawn. The 2019 Facility requires us to pledge assets as collateral in order to borrow under the credit facility.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the average stated interest rate (i.e., rate in effect plus the spread) and average outstanding borrowings for the Revolving Credit Facility were as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,Nine Months Ended March 31,

As of March 31, 2021, the investments, including cash and cash equivalents, used as collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility had an aggregate fair value of $1,594,834, which represents 26.7% of our total investments, including cash and cash equivalents. These assets are held and owned by PCF, a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, and, as such, these investments are not available to our general creditors. As additional eligible investments are transferred to PCF and pledged under the Revolving Credit Facility, PCF will generate additional availability up to the current commitment amount of $1,077,500. The release of any assets from PCF requires the approval of the facility agent.
In connection with the origination and amendments of the Revolving Credit Facility, we incurred $10,904 of new fees and $7,787 were carried over for continuing participants from the previous facilities, all of which are being amortized over the term of the facility in accordance with ASC 470-50. As of March 31, 2021, $7,510 remains to be amortized and is reflected as deferred financing costs on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we recorded $4,509 and $5,867, respectively, of interest costs, unused fees and amortization of financing costs on the Revolving Credit Facility as interest expense.

Net Asset Value
During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, our net asset value increased by $645,979. After reducing our net asset value by the stated value of our cumulative preferred stock issuances, our net asset value available to common stockholders increased by $579,079, or $1.20 per common share. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net realized and net change in unrealized gains of $507,613, or $1.33 per basic weighted average common share. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, net investment income of $212,508, or $0.56 per basic weighted average common share, also exceeded distributions to common and preferred stockholders of $206,734 (including distributions classified as return of capital distributions to common stockholders), or $0.54 per basic weighted average common share, resulting in a net increase of $0.02 per basic weighted average common share. The increase was primarily offset by $0.11 of dilution per common share related to common and preferred stock issuances through our common stock and preferred stock dividend reinvestment programs for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, as well as $0.02 per basic weighted average common share for the preferred offering cost.

While we seek to maximize gains and minimize losses, our investments in portfolio companies can expose our capital to risks greater than those we may anticipate. These companies typically do not issue securities rated investment grade, and have limited resources, limited operating history, and concentrated product lines or customers. These are generally private companies with limited operating information available and are likely to depend on a small core of management talents. Changes in any of these factors can have a significant impact on the value of the portfolio company. These changes, along with those discussed in Investment Valuation above, can cause significant fluctuations in our net change in unrealized gains (losses) from investments, and therefore our net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stockholders, quarter over quarter.

Investment Income
We generate revenue in the form of interest income on the debt securities that we own, dividend income on any common or preferred stock that we own, and fees generated from the structuring of new deals. Our investments, if in the form of debt securities, will typically have a term of one to ten years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. To the extent achievable, we will seek to collateralize our investments by obtaining security interests in our portfolio companies’ assets. We also may acquire minority or majority equity interests in our portfolio companies, which may pay cash or in-kind dividends on a recurring or otherwise negotiated basis. In addition, we may generate revenue in other forms including prepayment penalties and possibly consulting fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments are recognized as earned.
Investment income consists of interest income, including accretion of loan origination fees and prepayment penalty fees, dividend income and other income, including settlement of net profits interests, overriding royalty interests and structuring fees.

The average interest earned on interest bearing performing assets decreased from 10.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 10.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in interest income due to a decline in LIBOR offset by early repayments causing an increase in accelerated income.The average interest earned on all interest bearing performing assets increased from 9.32% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 9.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to decreases in non-accrual loans.
The average interest earned on interest bearing performing assets decreased from 10.57% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 to 10.08% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The average interest earned on all interest bearing performing assets decreased from 9.47% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 to 9.45% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in interest income due to reduced returns from our structured credit investments and due to a decline in LIBOR offset by early repayments causing an increase in accelerated income.
Investment income is also generated from dividends and other income which is less predictable than interest income. The following table describes dividend income earned for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively:

Operating Expenses
Our primary operating expenses consist of investment advisory fees (base management and income incentive fees), borrowing costs, legal and professional fees, overhead-related expenses and other operating expenses. These expenses include our allocable portion of overhead under the Administration Agreement with Prospect Administration under which Prospect Administration provides administrative services and facilities for us. Our investment advisory fees compensate the Investment Adviser for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions.
The following table describes the various components of our operating expenses:

Total gross and net base management fee was $29,183 and $26,625 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The increase in total gross base management fee is directly related to an increase in average total assets.
Total gross base management fee was $83,866 and $82,631 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The increase in total gross base management fee is directly related to an increase in average total assets.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we incurred $18,251 and $17,119 of income incentive fees, respectively. This increase was driven by a corresponding increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income from $85,595 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $91,253 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. No capital gains incentive fee has yet been incurred pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. Income incentive fee for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 includes a $264 adjustment for fees earned in prior periods that were neither expensed nor paid to the Investment Adviser.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we incurred $53,354 and $51,855 of income incentive fees, respectively. This increase was driven by a corresponding increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income from $259,276 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 to $265,416 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. No capital gains incentive fee has yet been incurred pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we incurred $32,773 and $37,646 respectively, of interest and credit facility expenses related to our Revolving Credit Facility, Convertible Notes, Public Notes and Prospect Capital InterNotes® (collectively, our “Notes”). During the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we incurred $100,549 and $113,603, respectively, of interest expenses related to our Notes. These expenses are related directly to the leveraging capacity put into place for each of those periods and the levels of indebtedness actually undertaken in those periods.
The table below describes the various expenses of our Notes and the related indicators of leveraging capacity and indebtedness during these years:

Interest expense decreased from $32,177 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $28,849 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The weighted average stated interest rate on borrowings (excluding amortization, accretion and undrawn facility fees) decreased from 5.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to 4.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease is primarily due to repurchases and early retirements of our Convertible Notes and increased utilization of our Revolving Credit Facility, which bears a lower rate than our remaining debt due to LIBOR decline.
Interest expense decreased from $95,944 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 to $88,709 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The weighted average stated interest rate on borrowings (excluding amortization, accretion and undrawn facility fees) decreased from 5.55% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 to 5.07% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease is primarily due to repurchases and early retirements of our Convertible Notes and increased utilization of our Revolving Credit Facility, which bears a lower rate than our remaining debt due to LIBOR decline.
The allocation of net overhead expense from Prospect Administration was $2,685 and $4,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, we were given a credit in the amount of $3,522 for legal expenses

incurred on behalf of our portfolio companies that were remitted to Prospect Administration during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The allocation of net overhead expense from Prospect Administration was $10,768 and $13,601 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Prospect Administration received estimated payments of $1,038 and $1,225 directly from our portfolio companies, and certain funds managed by the Investment Adviser for legal services during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. In addition, we were given a credit in the amount of $3,522 for legal expenses incurred on behalf of our portfolio companies that were remitted to Prospect Administration during the three months ended March 31, 2021. We were given a credit for these payments as a reduction of the administrative services cost payable by us to Prospect Administration. Had Prospect Administration not received these payments, Prospect Administration’s charges for its administrative services would have increased by this amount.
Total operating expenses, excluding investment advisory fees, interest and credit facility expenses, and allocation of overhead from Prospect Administration (“Other Operating Expenses”), net of any expense reimbursements, were $3,162 and $539 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in audit, compliance and tax related fees, an increase in investor relations fees and subscription expenses.
Total operating expenses, excluding investment advisory fees, interest and credit facility expenses, and allocation of overhead from Prospect Administration (“Other Operating Expenses”), net of any expense reimbursements, were $13,583 and $9,190 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in legal fees and investor relations related fees offset and subscription expenses.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that it will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the LIBOR rates after 2021 (the “FCA Announcement”). Furthermore, in the United States, efforts to identify a set of alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rates include proposals by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee of the Federal Reserve Board (“ARRC”) and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. On August 24, 2017, the Federal Reserve Board requested public comment on a proposal by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in cooperation with the Office of Financial Research, to produce three new reference rates intended to serve as alternatives to LIBOR. These alternative rates are based on overnight repurchase agreement transactions secured by U.S. Treasury Securities. On December 12, 2017, following consideration of public comments, the Federal Reserve Board concluded that the public would benefit if the Federal Reserve Bank of New York published the three proposed reference rates as alternatives to LIBOR (the “Federal Reserve Board Notice”). In April 2018, the Federal Reserve System, in conjunction with the ARRC, announced the replacement of LIBOR with a new index, calculated by short term repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, called the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). On June 12, 2019, the Staff from the SEC’s Division of Corporate Finance, Division of Investment Management, Division of Trading and Markets, and Office of the Chief Accountant issued a statement about the potentially significant effects on financial markets and market participants when LIBOR is discontinued in 2021 and no longer available as a reference benchmark rate. The Staff encouraged all market participants to identify contracts that reference LIBOR and begin transitions to alternative rates. Although SOFR appears to be the preferred replacement rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, at this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any such changes, any establishment of alternative reference rates or other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United States, United Kingdom or elsewhere or, whether the Wuhan Virus will have further effect on LIBOR transition plans. The elimination of LIBOR or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us or on our overall financial condition or results of operations.

At this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of the FCA Announcement or other regulatory changes or announcements, any establishment of any alternative reference rates, including SOFR and its market acceptance, or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United Kingdom, the United States or elsewhere. As such, the potential effect of any such event on our net investment income cannot yet be determined. The CLOs in which the Company is invested generally contemplate a scenario where LIBOR is no longer available by requiring the CLO administrator to calculate a replacement rate primarily through dealer polling on the applicable measurement date. However, there is uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of the dealer polling processes, including the willingness of banks to provide such quotations, which could adversely impact our net investment income. Recently, the CLOs we are invested in have included, or have been amended to include, language permitting the CLO investment manager to implement a market replacement rate (like SOFR) upon the occurrence of certain material disruption events. However, we cannot ensure that all CLOs in which we are invested will have such provisions, nor can we ensure the CLO investment managers will undertake the suggested amendments when able. In addition, the effect of a phase out of LIBOR on U.S. senior secured loans, the underlying assets of the CLOs in which we invest, is currently unclear. To the extent that any replacement rate utilized for senior secured loans differs from that utilized for a CLO that holds those loans, the CLO would experience an interest rate mismatch between its assets and liabilities which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s net investment income and portfolio returns.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, our operating activities provided $131,008 and provided $343,368 of cash, respectively. There were no investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. Financing activities used $74,580 and $403,820 of cash during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, which included dividend payments of $132,676 and $194,024, respectively.

Our primary uses of funds have been to continue to invest in portfolio companies, through both debt and equity investments, repay outstanding borrowings and to make cash distributions to our stockholders.

Our primary sources of funds have historically been issuances of debt and equity. More recently, we have and may continue to fund a portion of our cash needs through repayments and opportunistic sales of our existing investment portfolio. We may also securitize a portion of our investments in unsecured or senior secured loans or other assets. Our objective is to put in place such borrowings in order to enable us to expand our portfolio. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we borrowed $668,000 and we made repayments totaling $561,999 under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2021, our outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility was $343,537. As of March 31, 2021, we had, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, $262,755 outstanding on the Convertible Notes, $892,342 outstanding on the Public Notes and $660,973 outstanding on the Prospect Capital InterNotes® (See “Capitalization” above).
142


Undrawn committed revolvers and delayed draw term loans to our portfolio companies incur commitment and unused fees ranging from 0.00% to 5.00%. As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, we had $38,999 and $41,487, respectively, of undrawn revolver and delayed draw term loan commitments to our portfolio companies. The fair value of our undrawn committed revolvers and delayed draw term loans was zero as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020.
We have guaranteed $2,737 in standby letters of credit issued through a financial intermediary and $3,494 of equipment lease obligations on behalf of InterDent, Inc. (“InterDent”) as of March 31, 2021. Under these arrangements, we would be required to make payments to the financial intermediary or equipment lease provider, respectively, if InterDent was to default on their related payment obligations. As of March 31, 2021, we have not recorded a liability on the statement of assets and liabilities for these guarantees as the likelihood of default on the standby letters of credit or equipment lease is deemed to be remote.
On February 13, 2020, we filed a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-236415) that was effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act as permitted under the Small Business Credit Availability Act. The registration statement permits us to issue, through one or more transactions, an indeterminate amount of securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, subscription rights to purchase our securities, warrants representing rights to purchase our securities or separately tradeable units combining two or more of our securities.
Preferred Stock
On August 3, 2020, we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with Preferred Capital Securities, LLC (“PCS”), pursuant to which PCS has agreed to serve as the Company’s agent, principal distributor and dealer manager for the Company’s offering of up to 40,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. Such Preferred Stock will initially be issued in multiple series, including the 5.50% Series A1 Preferred Stock (“Series A1 Preferred Stock”), the 5.50% Series M1 Preferred Stock (“Series M1 Preferred Stock”), and the 5.50% Series M2 Preferred Stock (“Series M2 Preferred Stock”, and together with the Series M1 Preferred Stock, the “Series M Preferred Stock”). In connection with such offering, on August 3, 2020, we filed Articles Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, reclassifying and designating 120,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock into shares of Preferred Stock as “Convertible Preferred Stock.” On October 30, 2020, we entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with Incapital LLC, pursuant to which Incapital LLC has agreed to serve as the Company’s agent and dealer manager for the Company’s offering of up to 10,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of 5.50% Series AA1 Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the “Series AA1 Preferred Stock”, and together with the Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series M1 Preferred Stock and Series M2 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”). In connection with such offering, on October 30, 2020, we filed Articles Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, reclassifying and designating 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized and unissued shares of common stock into shares of Preferred Stock as Convertible Preferred Stock.
In connection with the Preferred Stock Offering, effective August 3, 2020 and as amended on October 30, 2020, we adopted and amended, respectively, a Preferred Stock Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Preferred Stock DRIP”), pursuant to which holders of the Preferred Stock will have dividends on their Preferred Stock automatically reinvested in additional shares of such Preferred Stock at a price per share of $25.00, if they elect.
Each series of preferred stock ranks (with respect to the payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) (a) senior to our common stock, (b) on parity with each other series of our preferred stock, and (c) junior to our existing and future secured and unsecured indebtedness. See Note 8, Fair Value and Maturity of Debt Outstanding for further discussion on our senior securities.
At any time prior to the listing of the Preferred Stock on a national securities exchange, shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder of the Preferred Stock (the “Holder Optional Conversion”). We will settle any Holder Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the Settlement Amount (as defined below) that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of shares of our common stock over each of the five consecutive trading days ending on the Holder Conversion Exercise Date (as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement)(such arithmetic average, the “5-day VWAP”). For the Series A1 Preferred Stock and the Series AA1 Preferred Stock, “Settlement Amount” means (A) $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”), plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the Holder Conversion Exercise Date, minus (C) the A Share Holder Optional Conversion Fee (as described in the prospectus supplement relating to the Series A1 Preferred Stock or the Series AA1 Preferred Stock, as applicable) applicable on the respective Holder Conversion Deadline (as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement). For the Series M Preferred Stock, “Settlement Amount” means (A) the Stated Value, plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the Holder Conversion Exercise Date, but if a holder of Series M Preferred Stock exercises a Holder Optional Conversion within the first twelve months of issuance of such Series M
143


Preferred Stock, the Settlement Amount payable to such holder will be reduced by the aggregate amount of all dividends, whether paid or accrued, on such Series M Preferred Stock in the three full months prior to the Holder Conversion Exercise Date. Subject to certain limited exceptions, we will not pay any portion of the Settlement Amount in cash (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock) until the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of Preferred Stock has been issued. Beginning on the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of Preferred Stock is issued, we may elect to settle all or a portion of any Holder Optional Conversion in cash without limitation or restriction. The right of holders to convert a share of Preferred Stock will terminate upon the listing of such share on a national securities exchange.
Subject to certain limited exceptions allowing earlier redemption, beginning on the earlier of the five year anniversary of the date on which a share of Preferred Stock has been issued, or, for listed shares of Preferred Stock, five years from the earliest date on which any series that has been listed was first issued (the earlier of such dates, the “Redemption Eligibility Date”), such share of Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time or from time to time at our option (the “Issuer Optional Redemption”), at a redemption price of 100% of the Stated Value of the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed plus unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

Subject to certain limitations, each share of Preferred Stock may be converted at our option (the “Issuer Optional Conversion”). We will settle any Issuer Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount (as defined below) that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the IOC Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the 5-day VWAP, subject to our ability to obtain or maintain any stockholder approval that may be required under the 1940 Act to permit us to sell our common stock below net asset value if the 5-day VWAP represents a discount to our net asset value per share of common stock. For both the Series A1 Preferred Stock and the Series M Preferred Stock, “IOC Settlement Amount” means (A) the Stated Value, plus (B) unpaid dividends accrued to, but not including, the date fixed for conversion. Subject to certain limited exceptions, we will not exercise an Issuer Optional Conversion with respect to a share of Preferred Stock until after the date set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement with respect to the Preferred Stock. In connection with an Issuer Optional Conversion, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or maintain any stockholder approval that may be required under the 1940 Act to permit us to sell our common stock below net asset value. If we do not have or obtain any required stockholder approval under the 1940 Act to sell our common stock below net asset value and the 5-day VWAP is at a discount to our net asset value per share of common stock, we will settle any conversions in connection with an Issuer Optional Conversion by paying or delivering, as the case may be, (A) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash and (B) a number of shares of our common stock at a conversion rate equal to (1) (a) the IOC Settlement Amount, minus (b) any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount that we elect to pay in cash, divided by (2) the NAV per share of common stock at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the date of conversion. We will not pay any portion of the IOC Settlement Amount from an Issuer Optional Conversion in cash (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares of our common stock) until the Redemption Eligibility Date. Beginning on the Redemption Eligibility Date, we may elect to settle any Issuer Optional Conversion in cash without limitation or restriction. In the event that we exercise an Issuer Optional Conversion with respect to any shares of Preferred Stock, the holder of such Preferred Stock may instead elect a Holder Optional Conversion with respect to such Preferred Stock provided that the date of conversion for such Holder Optional Conversion would occur prior to the date of conversion for an Issuer Optional Conversion.
We determined the estimated value as of March 31, 2021 of our Preferred Stock, with a $25.00 stated value per share. We engaged a third-party valuation service to assist in our determination based on the calculation resulting from the total equity on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”), which was prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, adjusted for the fair value of our investments (i.e. from our Consolidated Schedule of Investments) and total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our Preferred Stock outstanding. Based on this methodology and because the result from the calculation above is greater than the $25.00 per share stated value of our Preferred Stock, the estimated value of our Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2021 is $25.00 per share.
Common Stock
Our common stockholders’ equity accounts as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020 reflect cumulative shares issued, net of shares repurchased, as of those respective dates. Our common stock has been issued through public offerings, a registered direct offering, the exercise of over-allotment options on the part of the underwriters, our dividend reinvestment plan and in connection with the acquisition of certain controlled portfolio companies. When our common stock is issued, the related offering expenses have been charged against paid-in capital in excess of par. All underwriting fees and offering expenses were borne by us.
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 or March 31, 2020.
144


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet liabilities or other contractual obligations that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, other than those which originate from 1) the investment advisory and management agreement and the administration agreement and 2) the portfolio companies.

The 2022 Notes March Tender Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 14, 2021 (one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 13, 2021). As of the expiration date, $50 aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes were validly tendered and accepted. Following settlement of the 2022 Notes March Tender Offer on April 16, 2021, approximately $111,055 aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes remain outstanding.
On April 7, 2021, we commenced two separate tender offers to purchase for cash (i) up to $30,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes at the purchase price of $104.15, plus accrued and unpaid interest (“2023 Notes April Tender Offer”), and (ii) up to $30,000 aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% 2024 Notes at the purchase price of $107.50, plus accrued and unpaid interest (“6.375% 2024 Notes April Tender Offer”, and together with the 2023 Notes April Tender Offer, the “April Tender Offers”). The April Tender Offers expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 5, 2021 (one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 4, 2021). As of the expiration date, $836 aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes and $226 aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% 2024 Notes were validly tendered and accepted.

On April 16, 2021, we entered a new $31,778 Second Lien Term Loan investment and a new $18,222 Delayed Draw Term Loan commitment with Redstone Buyer, LLC, a provider of cybersecurity and risk management services. Our new investments settled on April 30, 2021, with the Delayed Draw Term Loan unfunded at close.
On April 28, 2021, we completed an extension of the Revolving Credit Facility (the “New Facility”) for PCF, extending the term 5.7 years from such date and reducing the interest rate on drawn amounts to one-month LIBOR plus 2.05%. The New Facility, for which $1,082,500 of commitments have been closed to date, includes an accordion feature that allows the New Facility, at Prospect's discretion, to accept up to a total of $1,500,000 of commitments. The New Facility matures on April 27, 2026. It includes a revolving period that extends through April 27, 2025, followed by an additional one-year amortization period. Pricing for amounts drawn under the Facility is one-month LIBOR plus 2.05%, which achieves a 15 basis point reduction in the interest rate from the previous facility rate of LIBOR plus 2.20%. Additionally, the lenders charge a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to either 40 basis points if more than 60% of the credit facility is drawn, or 70 basis points if more than 35% and an amount less than or equal to 60% of the credit facility is drawn, or 150 basis points if an amount less than or equal to 35% of the credit facility is drawn.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q, ASC 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Under the 1940 Act, ASC 946, and the regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services to benefit us. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Prospect, PCF, PSBL, PYC, and the Consolidated Holding Companies. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial results of our non-substantially wholly-owned holding companies and operating portfolio company investments are not consolidated in the financial statements. Any operating companies owned by the Consolidated Holding Companies are not consolidated.
Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the presentation of prior consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the presentation as of and for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income, expenses, and gains and losses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, creditworthiness of the issuers of our investment portfolio and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ, and these differences could be material.
146


Investment Classification
We are a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. As required by the 1940 Act, we classify our investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are those where there is the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, a beneficial ownership of more than 25% of the voting securities of an investee company. Under the 1940 Act, “Affiliate Investments” are defined by a lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist through the possession outright or via the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of another person. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments.
As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, our qualifying assets as a percentage of total assets, stood at 75.67% and 74.44%, respectively.
Investment Transactions
Investments are recognized when we assume an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Specifically, we record all security transactions on a trade date basis. Investments are derecognized when we assume an obligation to sell a financial instrument and forego the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Amounts for investments traded but not yet settled are reported in Due to Broker or Due from Broker, in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency amounts are translated into US Dollars (USD) on the following basis:
i.fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and
ii.purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such investment transactions, income or expenses.
We do 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 or disposed of during the period. Such fluctuations are included within the net realized and net change in unrealized gains or losses from investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investment Risks
Our investments are subject to a variety of risks. Those risks include the following:
Market Risk
Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the fair value of the financial instrument.
Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the risk that we would incur if the counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the terms of their agreements with us.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk represents the possibility that we may not be able to rapidly adjust the size of our investment positions in times of high volatility and financial stress at a reasonable price.
147


Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk represents a change in interest rates, which could result in an adverse change in the fair value of an interest-bearing financial instrument.
Prepayment Risk
Many of our debt investments allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Downward changes in interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a faster than expected rate, thereby effectively shortening the maturity of the security and making us less likely to fully earn all of the expected income of that security and reinvesting in a lower yielding instrument.
Structured Credit Related Risk

CLO investments may be riskier and less transparent to us than direct investments in underlying companies. CLOs typically will have no significant assets other than their underlying senior secured loans. Therefore, payments on CLO investments are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such senior secured loans. 
Online Small-and-Medium-Sized Business Lending Risk
With respect to our online small-and-medium-sized business (“SME”) lending initiative, we invest primarily in marketplace loans through marketplace lending platforms (e.g. OnDeck). We do not conduct loan origination activities ourselves. Therefore, our ability to purchase SME loans, and our ability to grow our portfolio of SME loans, is directly influenced by the business performance and competitiveness of the marketplace loan origination business of the marketplace lending platforms from which we purchase SME loans. In addition, our ability to analyze the risk-return profile of SME loans is significantly dependent on the marketplace platforms’ ability to effectively evaluate a borrower’s credit profile and likelihood of default. If we are unable to effectively evaluate borrowers’ credit profiles or the credit decisioning and scoring models implemented by each platform, we may incur unanticipated losses which could adversely impact our operating results.
Foreign Currency
Investments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin. 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.
Investment Valuation
To value our investments, we follow the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in conformity with GAAP, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of our investments is defined as the price that we would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market in which that investment is transacted.
ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined 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 considers factors specific to each investment.
Our Board of Directors has established procedures for the valuation of our investment portfolio. These procedures are detailed below.
148


Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations.
For most of our investments, market quotations are not available. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our Board of Directors has approved a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below.
1.Each portfolio company or investment is reviewed by our investment professionals with independent valuation firms engaged by our Board of Directors.
2.The independent valuation firms prepare independent valuations for each investment based on their own independent assessments and issue their report.
3.The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors reviews and discusses with the independent valuation firms the valuation reports, and then makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors of the value for each investment.
4.The Board of Directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser, the respective independent valuation firm and the Audit Committee.
Our non-CLO investments are valued utilizing a yield technique, enterprise value (“EV”) technique, net asset value technique, asset recovery technique, discounted cash flow technique, or a combination of techniques, as appropriate. The yield technique uses loan spreads for loans and other relevant information implied by market data involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Under the EV technique, the EV of a portfolio company is first determined and allocated over the portfolio company’s securities in order of their preference relative to one another (i.e., “waterfall” allocation). To determine the EV, we typically use a market (multiples) valuation approach that considers relevant and applicable market trading data of guideline public companies, transaction metrics from precedent merger and acquisitions transactions, and/or a discounted cash flow technique. The net asset value technique, an income approach, is used to derive a value of an underlying investment (such as real estate property) by dividing a relevant earnings stream by an appropriate capitalization rate. For this purpose, we consider capitalization rates for similar properties as may be obtained from guideline public companies and/or relevant transactions. The asset recovery technique is intended to approximate the net recovery value of an investment based on, among other things, assumptions regarding liquidation proceeds based on a hypothetical liquidation of a portfolio company’s assets. The discounted cash flow technique converts future cash flows or earnings to a range of fair values from which a single estimate may be derived utilizing an appropriate discount rate. The fair value measurement is based on the net present value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.
In applying these methodologies, additional factors that we consider in valuing our investments may include, as we deem relevant: security covenants, call protection provisions, and information rights; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments; the principal markets in which the portfolio company does business; publicly available financial ratios of peer companies; the principal market; and enterprise values, among other factors.
Our investments in CLOs are classified as Level 3 fair value measured securities under ASC 820 and are valued using a discounted multi-path cash flow model. The CLO structures are analyzed to identify the risk exposures and to determine an appropriate call date (i.e., expected maturity). These risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations, which is a simulation used to model the probability of different outcomes, to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows from the underlying assets and liabilities.  These cash flows are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market as well as certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment.  In addition, we generate a single-path cash flow utilizing our best estimate of expected cash receipts, and assess the reasonableness of the implied discount rate that would be effective for the value derived from the multi-path cash flows.  We are not responsible for and have no influence over the asset management of the portfolios underlying the CLO investments we hold, as those portfolios are managed by non-affiliated third-party CLO collateral managers. The main risk factors are default risk, prepayment risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk.
Valuation of Other Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, specifically ASC 825-10-25, permits an entity to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “Fair Value Option”). We have not elected the Fair Value Option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities. See Note 8 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for the disclosure of the fair value of our outstanding debt and the market observable inputs used in determining fair value.
149


Convertible Notes
We have recorded the Convertible Notes at their contractual amounts. We have determined that the embedded conversion options in the Convertible Unsecured Notes are not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. See Note 5 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Revenue Recognition
Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using the specific identification method.
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Loan origination fees, original issue discount, and market discounts are capitalized and accreted into interest income over the respective terms of the applicable loans using the effective interest method or straight-line, as applicable, and adjusted only for material amendments or prepayments. Upon a prepayment of a loan, prepayment premiums, original issue discount, or market discounts are recorded as interest income.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Unpaid accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are either applied to the cost basis or interest income, depending upon management’s judgment of the collectibility of the loan receivable. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and in management’s judgment, is likely to remain current and future principal and interest collections when due are probable. Interest received and applied against cost while a loan is on non-accrual, and PIK interest capitalized but not recognized while on non-accrual, is recognized prospectively on the effective yield basis through maturity of the loan when placed back on accrual status, to the extent deemed collectible by management. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 0.7% of our total assets at fair value are in non-accrual status.
Some of our loans and other investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK income computed at the contractual rate is accrued into income and reflected as receivable up to the capitalization date. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. When additional securities are received, they typically have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates as the original securities issued. On these payment dates, we capitalize the accrued interest (reflecting such amounts in the basis as additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. At the point that we believe PIK is not fully expected to be realized, the PIK investment will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends are reversed from the related receivable through interest or dividend income, respectively. We do not reverse previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends. Upon capitalization, PIK is subject to the fair value estimates associated with their related investments. PIK investments on non-accrual status are restored to accrual status if we believe that PIK is expected to be realized.
Interest income from investments in Subordinated Structured Notes (typically preferred shares, income notes or subordinated notes of CLO funds) and “equity” class of security of securitized trust is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. We monitor the expected cash inflows from our CLO and securitized trust equity investments, including the expected residual payments, and the effective yield is determined and updated periodically.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Other income generally includes amendment fees, commitment fees, administrative agent fees and structuring fees which are recorded when earned. Excess deal deposits, net profits interests and overriding royalty interests are included in other income. See Note 10 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Federal and State Income Taxes
We have elected to be treated as a RIC and intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to RICs. We are required to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income and intend to distribute (or retain through a deemed distribution) all of our investment company taxable income and net capital gain to stockholders; therefore, we have made no provision for income taxes. The character of income and gains that we will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital.
If we do not distribute (or are not deemed to have distributed) at least 98% of our annual ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital gains in the calendar year earned, we will generally be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which
150


98% of our annual ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital gains exceed the distributions from such taxable income for the year. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, we accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income. As of March 31, 2021, we do not expect to have any excise tax due for the 2021 calendar year. Thus, we have not accrued any excise tax for this period.
If we fail to satisfy the annual distribution requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, we would be subject to tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates. We would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders, nor would we be required to make distributions. Distributions would generally be taxable to our individual and other non-corporate taxable stockholders as ordinary dividend income eligible for the reduced maximum rate applicable to qualified dividend income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, provided certain holding period and other requirements are met. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributions would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. To qualify again to be taxed as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to distribute to our stockholders our accumulated earnings and profits attributable to non-RIC years. In addition, if we failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, then, in order to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to elect to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gain (the excess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if we had been liquidated) or, alternatively, be subject to taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a period of five years.
We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. As of March 31, 2021, we did not record any unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities. Management’s determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Although we file both federal and state income tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal. Our federal tax returns for the tax years ended August 31, 2017 and thereafter remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount, if any, to be paid as a monthly dividend or distribution is approved by our Board of Directors quarterly and is generally based upon our management’s estimate of our future taxable earnings. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.
Our distributions may exceed our earnings, and therefore, portions of the distributions that we make may be a return of the money originally invested and represent a return of capital distribution to shareholders for tax purposes.
Financing Costs
We record origination expenses related to our Revolving Credit Facility and the Unsecured Notes as deferred financing costs. These expenses are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method over the stated life of the obligation for our Revolving Credit Facility and for our Prospect Capital Internotes. The effective interest method is used to amortize deferred financing costs for our remaining Unsecured Notes over the respective expected life or maturity. In the event that we modify or extinguish our debt before maturity, we follow the guidance in ASC 470-50, Modification and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”). For modifications to or exchanges of our Revolving Credit Facility, any unamortized deferred costs relating to lenders who are not part of the new lending group are expensed. For extinguishments of our Unsecured Notes, any unamortized deferred costs are deducted from the carrying amount of the debt in determining the gain or loss from the extinguishment.
Unamortized deferred financing costs are presented as a direct deduction to the respective Unsecured Notes (see Notes 5, 6, and 7 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).
We may record registration expenses related to shelf filings as prepaid expenses. These expenses consist principally of SEC registration fees, legal fees and accounting fees incurred. These prepaid expenses are charged to capital upon the receipt of proceeds from an equity offering or charged to expense if no offering is completed. As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, there are no prepaid expenses related to registration expenses and all amounts incurred have been expensed.

Guarantees and Indemnification Agreements
We follow ASC 460, Guarantees (“ASC 460”). ASC 460 elaborates on the disclosure requirements of a guarantor in its interim and annual consolidated financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, for those guarantees that are covered by ASC 460, the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing certain guarantees.
Per Share Information
In accordance with ASC 946, senior equity securities, such as preferred stock, are not considered in the calculation of net asset value per share. Net asset value per share also excludes the effects of assumed conversion of outstanding convertible securities, regardless of whether their conversion would have a diluting effect. Therefore, our net asset value is presented on the basis of per common share outstanding as of the applicable period end.
We compute earnings per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260"). Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the assumed conversion of dilutive securities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends the financial instruments impairment guidance so that an entity is required to measure expected credit losses for financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. As such, an entity will use forward-looking information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also amends the guidance in FASB ASC Subtopic No. 325-40, Investments-Other, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, related to the subsequent measurement of accretable yield recognized as interest income over the life of a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets under the effective yield method. ASU 2016-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures as our investments are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The standard will modify the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In May 2020, the SEC adopted rule amendments that will impact the requirement of investment companies, including BDCs, to disclose the financial statements of certain of their portfolio companies or certain acquired funds (the “Final Rules”). The Final Rules adopted a new definition of “significant subsidiary” set forth in Rule 1-02(w)(2) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act. Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X require investment companies to include separate financial statements or summary financial information, respectively, in such investment company’s periodic reports for any portfolio company that meets the definition of “significant subsidiary.” The Final Rules adopt a new definition of “significant subsidiary” applicable only to investment companies that (i) modifies the investment test and the income test, and (ii) eliminates the asset test currently in the definition of “significant subsidiary” in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. The new Rule 1-02(w)(2) of Regulation S-X is intended to more accurately capture these portfolio companies that are more likely to materially impact the financial condition of an investment company. The Final Rules became effective on January 1, 2021, but voluntary compliance was permitted in advance of the effective date. We evaluated the impact of adopting the Final Rules on our consolidated financial statements and because the new definition of “significant subsidiary” contained therein is specific to investment companies, we elected to early adopt the Final Rules beginning with our fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Note 3. Portfolio Investments - Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiaries for disclosure.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The standard is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the optional guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. The Company did not utilize the optional expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
152


In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, after adoption, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and equity price risk. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the Wuhan Virus outbreak has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and the effects of this volatility could materially impact our market risks, including those listed below. For additional information concerning the Wuhan Virus pandemic and its potential impact on our business and our operating results, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, “Risks Relating to Our Business - The Wuhan Virus pandemic has caused severe disruptions in the global economy, which has had, and may continue to have, a negative impact on our portfolio companies and our business and operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates impacting some of the loans in our portfolio which have floating interest rates. Additionally, because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. See Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors, “Risks Relating to Our Business - Rising interest rates may adversely affect the value of our portfolio investments which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations”.
Our debt investments may be based on floating rates or fixed rates. For our floating rate loans the rates are determined from the LIBOR, EURO Interbank Offer Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate. The floating interest rate loans may be subject to a LIBOR floor. Our loans typically have durations of one, two, three, six or twelve months after which they reset to current market interest rates. As of March 31, 2021, 86.65% of the interest earning investments in our portfolio, at fair value, bore interest at floating rates.
We also have a revolving credit facility that is based on floating LIBOR rates. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is one-month LIBOR plus 220 basis points with no minimum LIBOR floor and an outstanding balance of $343,537 as of March 31, 2021. The Convertible Notes, Public Notes and Prospect Capital InterNotes® bear interest at fixed rates.
On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that (i) 24 LIBOR settings would cease to exist immediately after December 31, 2021 (all seven euro LIBOR settings; all seven Swiss franc LIBOR settings; the Spot Next, 1-week, 2-month, and 12-month Japanese yen LIBOR settings; the overnight, 1-week, 2-month, and 12-month sterling LIBOR settings; and the 1-week and 2-month US dollar LIBOR settings); (ii) the overnight and 12-month US LIBOR settings would cease to exist after June 30, 2023; and (iii) the FCA would consult on whether the remaining nine LIBOR settings should continue to be published on a synthetic basis for a certain period using the FCA’s proposed new powers that the UK government is legislating to grant to them.
The following table shows the approximate annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate flows for floating rate instruments, excluding our investments in Subordinated Structured Notes) to our loan portfolio and outstanding debt as of March 31, 2021, assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

As of March 31, 2021, one, two, three, six, and twelve month LIBOR were 0.11%, 0.13%, 0.19%, 0.21%, and 0.28% respectively.

We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of higher interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments. During the year ended March 31, 2021, we did not engage in hedging activities.
154


Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2021, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that 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. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures. We are continually monitoring and assessing the Wuhan Virus pandemic to determine any potential impact on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
(All figures in this item are in thousands except share, per share and other data.)
From time to time, we may become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to intellectual property, employment, tax, regulation, contract or other matters. The resolution of such matters as may arise will be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.
We are not aware of any material legal proceedings as of March 31, 2021.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed below and the risk factors in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. (All figures in this item are in thousands except share, per share and other data.)
Risks Relating to Business
The Wuhan Virus pandemic has caused severe disruptions in the global economy, which has had, and may continue to have, a negative impact on our portfolio companies and our business and operations.
As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report, there is an outbreak of a highly contagious form of a novel coronavirus (“Wuhan Virus”). The Wuhan Virus has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and, in response to the outbreak, the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary has declared a public health emergency in the United States. The Wuhan Virus has had a devastating impact on the global economy, including the U.S. economy, and has resulted in a global economic recession.
Many states, including those in which we and our portfolio companies operate, have issued orders requiring the closure of non-essential businesses and/or requiring or encouraging residents to stay at home. The Wuhan Virus pandemic and preventative measures taken to contain or mitigate its spread have caused, and are continuing to cause, business shutdowns, or the re-introduction of business shutdowns, cancellations of and restrictions on events and travel, significant reductions in demand for certain goods and services, reductions in and restrictions on business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability both globally and in the United States. Such effects will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and for some period thereafter. While several countries, as well as certain states, counties and cities in the United States, began to relax the early public health restrictions with a view to partially or fully reopening their economies, many cities, both globally and in the United States, have since experienced a surge in the reported number of cases and hospitalizations related to the Wuhan Virus pandemic. This increase in cases has led to the re-introduction of restrictions and business shutdowns in certain states, counties and cities in the United States and globally and could continue to lead to the re-introduction of such restrictions elsewhere. Additionally, in December 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) authorized vaccines produced by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna for emergency use, and in February 2021, the FDA authorized vaccines produced by Johnson & Johnson. However, it remains unclear how quickly the vaccines will be distributed nationwide and globally, whether vaccine distributions may be paused, or when “herd immunity” will be achieved and the restrictions that were imposed to slow the spread of the virus will be lifted entirely. A delay in distributing the vaccines could lead people to continue to self-isolate and not participate in the economy at pre-pandemic levels for a prolonged period of time.
Even after the Wuhan Virus pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy and most other major global economies may continue to experience a recession, and our business and operations, as well as the business and operations of our portfolio companies, could be materially adversely affected by a prolonged recession in the United States and other major markets. Potential consequences of the current unprecedented measures taken in response to the spread of Wuhan Virus, and current market disruptions and volatility that may impact our business include, but are not limited to:
sudden, unexpected and/or severe declines in the market price of our securities or net asset value;
inability of the Company to accurately or reliably value its portfolio;
156


inability of the Company to comply with certain asset coverage ratios that would prevent the Company from paying dividends to our common stockholders or holders of the Preferred Stock and that could result in breaches of covenants or events of default under our credit agreement or debt indentures;
inability of the Company to pay any dividends and distributions on common stock or Preferred Stock or service its debt;
inability of the Company to maintain its status as a RIC under the Code;
potentially severe, sudden and unexpected declines in the value of our investments;
increased risk of default or bankruptcy by the companies in which we invest;
increased risk of companies in which we invest being unable to weather an extended cessation of normal economic activity and thereby impairing their ability to continue functioning as a going concern;
reduced economic demand resulting from changes in consumer behavior, mass employee layoffs or furloughs in response to governmental action taken to slow the spread of Wuhan Virus, which could impact the continued viability of the companies in which we invest;
companies in which we invest being disproportionately impacted by governmental action aimed at slowing the spread of Wuhan Virus or mitigating its economic effects;
limited availability of new investment opportunities;
inability for us to replace our existing leverage when it becomes due or replace it on terms as favorable as our existing leverage;
a reduction in interest rates, including interest rates based on LIBOR and similar benchmarks, which may adversely impact our ability to lend money at attractive rates; and
general threats to the Company’s ability to continue investment operations and to operate successfully as a business development company.

The Wuhan Virus pandemic (including the preventative measures taken in response thereto) has to date (i) created significant business disruption issues for certain of our portfolio companies, and (ii) materially and adversely impacted the value and performance of certain of our portfolio companies. The Wuhan Virus pandemic continues to have a particularly adverse impact on industries in which certain of our portfolio companies operate, including aircraft leasing, energy, hospitality, travel, retail and restaurants. Certain of our portfolio companies in other industries have also been significantly impacted. The Wuhan Virus pandemic is continuing as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report, and its extended duration may have further adverse impacts on our portfolio companies after March 31, 2021, including for the reasons described below. Although on March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which contains provisions intended to mitigate the adverse economic effects of the Wuhan Virus pandemic, it is uncertain whether, or how much, our portfolio companies will be able to benefit from the CARES Act or any other subsequent legislation intended to provide financial relief or assistance. As a result of this disruption and the pressures on their liquidity, certain of our portfolio companies have been, or may continue to be, incentivized to draw on most, if not all, of the unfunded portion of any revolving or delayed draw term loans made by us, subject to availability under the terms of such loans.
The effects described above on our portfolio companies have, for certain of our portfolio companies to date, impacted their ability to make payments on their loans on a timely basis and in some cases have required us to amend certain terms, including payment terms. In addition, an extended duration of the Wuhan Virus pandemic may impact the ability of our portfolio companies to continue making their loan payments on a timely basis or meeting their loan covenants. The inability of portfolio companies to make timely payments or meet loan covenants may in the future require us to undertake similar amendment actions with respect to other of our investments or to restructure our investments. The amendment or restructuring of our investments may include the need for us to make additional investments in our portfolio companies (including debt or equity investments) beyond any existing commitments, exchange debt for equity, or change the payment terms of our investments to permit a portfolio company to pay a portion of its interest through payment-in-kind, which would defer the cash collection of such interest and add it to the principal balance, which would generally be due upon repayment of the outstanding principal.
The Wuhan Virus pandemic has adversely impacted the fair value of our investments as of March 31, 2021, and the values assigned as of this date may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize with respect to our investments. The impact of the Wuhan Virus pandemic may not yet be fully reflected in the valuation of our investments as our valuations, and particularly valuations of private investments and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and are often based on estimates, comparisons and qualitative evaluations of private information that is often from a time period earlier, generally two to three months, than the period for which we are reporting. Additionally, we may not have yet received information or certifications from our portfolio companies that indicate any or the full extent of declining performance or non-compliance with debt covenants, as applicable, as a result of the Wuhan Virus pandemic. As a result, our valuations at March 31, 2021 may not show the complete or continuing impact of the Wuhan Virus pandemic and the resulting measures taken in response thereto. In addition, write downs in the value of our investments have reduced, and any additional write downs may further reduce, our net asset value (and, as a result, our asset coverage calculation). Accordingly, we may
157


continue to incur additional net unrealized losses or may incur realized losses after March 31, 2021, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The volatility and disruption to the global economy from the Wuhan Virus pandemic has affected, and is expected to continue to affect, the pace of our investment activity, which may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. Such volatility and disruption have also led to the increased credit spreads in the private debt capital markets.
In response to the Wuhan Virus pandemic, Prospect Capital Management L.P. (“Prospect Capital Management” or our “Investment Adviser”) instituted a work from home policy. Although certain employees are currently allowed to return to their offices in certain circumstances, subject to health and safety protocols, it is expected that most employees will continue to work remotely for the foreseeable future. Extended periods of remote working could strain our technology resources and introduce operational risks, including heightened cybersecurity risk. Remote working environments may be less secure and more susceptible to hacking attacks, including phishing and social engineering attempts that seek to exploit the Wuhan Virus pandemic.
Despite actions of the U.S. federal government and foreign governments, the uncertainty surrounding the Wuhan Virus pandemic and other factors has contributed to significant volatility and declines in the global public equity markets and global debt capital markets, including the market price of shares of our common stock and the trading prices of our issued debt securities. Shares of our common stock are trading below our net asset value as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report. Market conditions may make it difficult for us to raise equity capital because, subject to some limited exceptions, as a BDC, we are generally not able to issue additional shares of our common stock at a price less than net asset value without general approval by our stockholders, which we currently have until June 12, 2021, and approval of the specific issuance by our Board of Directors. Moreover, these market conditions may make it difficult to access or obtain new indebtedness with similar terms to our existing indebtedness or otherwise have a negative effect on our cost of capital. See “Risk Factors-Risks Relating to Our Business-Capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability. Such market conditions may materially and adversely affect debt and equity capital markets in the United States and abroad, which may have a negative impact on our business and operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
It is virtually impossible to determine the ultimate impact of the Wuhan Virus at this time. Further, the extent and strength of any economic recovery after the Wuhan Virus pandemic abates, including following any “second wave,” “third wave” or other intensifying of the pandemic, is uncertain and subject to various factors and conditions.
Accordingly, an investment in the Company is subject to an elevated degree of risk as compared to other market environments.
We are subject to risks related to corporate social responsibility.
Our business faces increasing public scrutiny related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) activities. We risk damage to our brand and reputation if we fail to act responsibly in a number of areas, such as environmental stewardship, corporate governance and transparency and considering ESG factors in our investment processes. Adverse incidents with respect to ESG activities could impact the value of our brand, the cost of our operations and relationships with investors, all of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Additionally, new regulatory initiatives related to ESG could adversely affect our business.
Risks Relating to Our Securities
Senior securities, including debt and preferred equity, expose us to additional risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We use our revolving credit facility to leverage our portfolio and we expect in the future to borrow from and issue senior debt securities to banks and other lenders and may securitize certain of our portfolio investments. We also have the Unsecured Notes outstanding and have launched a convertible preferred share offering program, which are forms of leverage and are senior in payment rights to our common stock.
Business development companies are generally able to issue senior securities such that their asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% of gross assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, after each issuance of senior securities. In March 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act added Section 61(a)(2) to the 1940 Act, a successor provision to Section 61(a)(1) referenced therein, which reduces the asset coverage requirement applicable to business development companies from 200% to 150% so long as the business development company meets certain disclosure requirements and obtains certain approvals. On May 5, 2020, the Company's stockholders voted to approve the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements in Section 61(a) (2) to the Company effective as of May 6, 2020. As a result of the
158


stockholder approval, effective May 6, 2020, the asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act applicable to the Company decreased to 150% from 200%. In other words, under the 1940 Act, the Company is now able to borrow $2 for investment purposes for every $1 of investor equity, as opposed to borrowing $1 for investment purposes for every $1 of investor equity. As a result, the Company will be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future and investors in the Company may face increased investment risk. In addition, the Company’s management fee payable to the Investment Adviser is based on the Company's average adjusted gross assets, which includes leverage and, as a result, if the Company incurs additional leverage, management fees paid to the Investment Adviser would increase.
With certain limited exceptions, as a BDC, we are only allowed to borrow amounts or otherwise issue senior securities such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing or other issuance. The amount of leverage that we employ will depend on the Investment Adviser’s and our Board of Directors’ assessment of market conditions and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. There is no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful. Leverage involves risks and special considerations for stockholders, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including the following:
A likelihood of greater volatility in the net asset value and market price of our common stock;
Diminished operating flexibility as a result of asset coverage or investment portfolio composition requirements required by lenders or investors that are more stringent than those imposed by the 1940 Act;
The possibility that investments will have to be liquidated at less than full value or at inopportune times to comply with debt covenants or to pay interest or dividends on the leverage;
Increased operating expenses due to the cost of leverage, including issuance and servicing costs;
Convertible or exchangeable securities, such as the Convertible Notes outstanding or those issued in the future (including the Preferred Stock (as defined herein)) may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our common stock including, the case of the Preferred Stock, the statutory right under the 1940 Act to vote, as a separate class, on the election of two of our directors and approval of certain fundamental transactions in certain circumstances;
Subordination to lenders’ superior claims on our assets as a result of which lenders will be able to receive proceeds available in the case of our liquidation before any proceeds will be distributed to our stockholders;
Difficulty meeting our payment and other obligations under the Unsecured Notes and our other outstanding debt or preferred equity;
The occurrence of an event of default if we fail to comply with the financial and/or other restrictive covenants contained in our debt agreements, including the credit agreement and each indenture governing the Unsecured Notes, which event of default could result in all or some of our debt becoming immediately due and payable;
Reduced availability of our cash flow to fund investments, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes;
The risk of increased sensitivity to interest rate increases on our indebtedness with variable interest rates, including borrowings under our amended senior credit facility; and
Reduced flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, and increasing our vulnerability to, changes in our business, the industry in which we operate and the general economy.

For example, the amount we may borrow under our revolving credit facility is determined, in part, by the fair value of our investments. If the fair value of our investments declines, we may be forced to sell investments at a loss to maintain compliance with our borrowing limits. Other debt facilities we may enter into in the future may contain similar provisions. Any such forced sales would reduce our net asset value and also make it difficult for the net asset value to recover. The Investment Adviser and our Board of Directors in their best judgment nevertheless may determine to use leverage if they expect that the benefits to our stockholders of maintaining the leveraged position will outweigh the risks.
In addition, our ability to meet our payment and other obligations of the Preferred Stock, the Unsecured Notes and our credit facility depends on our ability to generate significant cash flow in the future. This, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors as well as other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot provide assurance that our business will generate cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us under our existing credit facility or otherwise, in an amount sufficient to enable us to meet our payment obligations under the Preferred Stock, the Unsecured Notes and our other debt and to fund other liquidity needs. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt and preferred equity obligations, we may need to refinance or restructure our debt or preferred equity, including the Unsecured Notes, sell assets, reduce or delay capital investments, or seek to raise additional capital. If we are unable to implement one or more of these
159


alternatives, we may not be able to meet our payment obligations under the Preferred Stock, the Unsecured Notes and our other debt.

Illustration.    The following tables illustrate the effect of leverage on returns from an investment in our common stock assuming various annual returns, net of interest expense. The calculations in the tables below are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing below.

The actual 5-day VWAP of our common stock on a Holder Conversion Exercise Date may be more or less than $7.76, which may result in more or less shares of common stock issued.
The assumed portfolio return is required by regulation of the SEC and is not a prediction of, and does not represent, our projected or actual performance. Actual returns may be greater or less than those appearing in the table.
Pursuant to SEC regulations, this table is calculated as of March 31, 2021. As a result, it has not been updated to take into account any changes in assets or leverage since March 31, 2021.

Item 5. Other Information
Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “PSEC.”
The following table sets forth, for the quarterly reporting periods indicated, the net asset value per share of our common stock and the high and low sales prices for our common stock, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Our common stock historically has traded at prices both above and below its net asset value. There can be no assurance, however, that such premium or discount, as applicable, to net asset value will be maintained. See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 for additional information about the risks and uncertainties we face.

Recent Sales of Common Stock Below Net Asset Value
At our 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, and at a special meeting of stockholders held on June 12, 2020, our stockholders approved our ability to sell shares of our common stock at a price or prices below our NAV per share at the time of sale in one or more offerings. The current approval to sell shares of our common stock below our NAV per share is valid until June 12, 2021 and subject to certain conditions as set forth in the proxy statement relating to the special meeting (including that the number of shares sold on any given date does not exceed 25% of our outstanding common stock immediately prior to such sale). Accordingly, we may make offerings of our common stock without any limitation on the total amount of dilution to stockholders. Our prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to this offering contains additional information about these offerings. Pursuant to the authority granted at our June 12, 2020 special meeting of stockholders and the approval of our Board of Directors, we have made the following offerings:

(2) At the market offering. Dates of offering represent the sales dates of the stock. The settlement dates are two business days later than the sale dates.




On March 15, 2021, the Company filed its notice of meeting and definitive proxy statement in connection with a special
meeting of the Company's stockholders that is scheduled to be held on June 11, 2021 for the purpose of asking the
Company's stockholders to vote on a proposal to authorize the Company, with approval of its Board of Directors, to sell
shares of its common stock (during the next 12 months) at a price or prices below the Company’s then current net asset
value per share in one or more offerings subject to certain conditions.

FEES AND EXPENSES
The following tables are intended to assist you in understanding the costs and expenses that an investor in shares of common stock will bear directly or indirectly. We caution you that some of the percentages indicated in the table below are estimates and may vary. These tables are based on our assets and common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2021, except that we assume that we have issued $1.25 billion in Preferred Stock paying dividends of 5.50% per annum and that we have borrowed $1.08 billion under our credit facility, which is the maximum amount available under the credit facility with the current levels of other debt, in addition to our other indebtedness of $1.8 billion. Except where the context suggests otherwise, any reference to fees or expenses paid by “you” or “us” or that “we” will pay fees or expenses, the Company will pay such fees and expenses out of our net assets and, consequently, you will indirectly bear such fees or expenses as an investor in the Company’s common stock. However, you will not be required to deliver any money or otherwise bear personal liability or responsibility for such fees or expenses.

Example
The following table demonstrates the projected dollar amount of cumulative expenses we would pay out of net assets and that you would indirectly bear over various periods with respect to a hypothetical investment in our common stock. In calculating the following expense amounts, we have assumed we have issued $1.25 billion in Preferred Stock paying dividends of 5.50% per annum, we have borrowed $1.08 billion available under our line of credit, in addition to our other indebtedness of $1.8 billion, and that our annual operating expenses would remain at the levels set forth in the table above and that we would pay the costs shown in the table above.
  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
A Shares and AA Shares - You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment in shares of our common stock, assuming a 5% annual return on our portfolio* $147  $340  $511  $855 
A Shares and AA Shares - You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment in shares of our common stock, assuming a 5% annual return on our portfolio**$156 $364 $543 $892 
* Assumes that we will not realize any capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on our portfolio.
** Assumes no unrealized capital depreciation or realized capital losses and 5% annual return on our portfolio resulting entirely from net realized capital gains (and therefore subject to the capital gains incentive fee).
While the example assumes, as required by the SEC, a 5% annual return on our portfolio, our performance will vary and may result in a return greater or less than 5%. The income incentive fee under our Investment Advisory Agreement with
163


Prospect Capital Management is unlikely to be material assuming a 5% annual return on our portfolio and is not included in the example. If we achieve sufficient returns on our portfolio, including through the realization of capital gains, to trigger an incentive fee of a material amount, our distributions to our common stockholders and our expenses would likely be higher. In addition, while the example assumes reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions at NAV, common stockholders that participate in our common stock dividend reinvestment plan will receive a number of shares of our common stock determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to a participant by 95% of the market price per share of our common stock at the close of trading on the valuation date for the distribution.
This example and the expenses in the table above should not be considered a representation of our future expenses. Actual expenses (including the cost of debt, if any, and other expenses) may be greater or less than those shown.

(1)    Includes up to a 7.0% selling commission on the $25.00 per share (the “Stated Value”) paid by the Company and a dealer manager fee equal to 3.0% of the Stated Value paid by the Company. Reductions in selling commissions will be reflected in reduced public offering prices as described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the applicable prospectus supplement and the net proceeds to us will not be impacted by such reductions; therefore, we will bear a reduction in net proceeds to us up to 7.0% of the Stated Value on all A Shares although the selling commission compensation paid by us to our dealer manager may represent less than 7.0% of the Stated Value. We may, through the Holder Optional Conversion Fee, recoup a portion of the Sales Load if stockholders exercise a Holder Optional Conversion (as defined in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable offering) of their Preferred Stock prior to the 5-year anniversary of the original issue date. The Holder Optional Conversion Fee is 9.00% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein prior to the first anniversary of the issuance of such Preferred Stock, 8.00% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary, 7.00% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary, 6.00% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary, 5.00% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the fourth anniversary but prior to the fifth anniversary and 0.00% on or after the fifth anniversary.

(2)    Includes a dealer manager fee equal to 3.0% of the Stated Value paid by the Company.

(3)    Includes a 10% selling concession on the Stated Value paid by the Company. We may, through the Holder Optional Conversion Fee, recoup a portion of the Sales Load if stockholders exercise a Holder Optional Conversion of their Preferred Stock prior to the 5-year anniversary of the original issue date. The Holder Optional Conversion Fee is 9.50% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein prior to the first anniversary of the issuance of such Preferred Stock, 8.50% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary, 7.50% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary, 6.50% of the maximum public offering price disclosed herein on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fifth anniversary and 0.00% on or after the fifth anniversary.

(4)    The selling commission and dealer manager fee, when combined with organization and offering expenses (including due diligence expenses and fees for establishing servicing arrangements for new stockholder accounts), are not expected to exceed 11.5% of the gross offering proceeds. Our Board of Directors may, in its discretion, authorize the Company to incur underwriting and other offering expenses in excess of 11.5% of the gross offering proceeds. In no event will the combined selling commission, dealer manager fee and offering expenses exceed FINRA’s limit on underwriting and other offering expenses.

(5)    The selling concession, when combined with organization and offering expenses (including due diligence expenses), are not expected to exceed 10.5% of the gross offering proceeds. Our Board of Directors may, in its discretion, authorize the Company to incur underwriting and other offering expenses in excess of 10.5% of the gross offering proceeds. In no event will the combined selling concession and offering expenses exceed FINRA’s limit on underwriting and other offering expenses.

(6)    The expenses of the Preferred DRIP are included in “other expenses.” See “Capitalization” in the applicable prospectus supplement.

(7)    Our base management fee is 2% of our gross assets (which include any amount borrowed, i.e., total assets without deduction for any liabilities, including any borrowed amounts for non-investment purposes, for which purpose we have not and have no intention of borrowing). Although no plans are in place to borrow the full amount under our line of credit, assuming that we borrowed $1.1 billion, the 2% management fee of gross assets equals approximately 4.50% of net assets.

164


(8)    Based on our net investment income and realized capital gains, less realized and unrealized capital losses, earned on our portfolio for the year ended March 31, 2021, all of which consisted of an income incentive fee. This historical amount has been adjusted to reflect the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. The capital gain incentive fee is paid without regard to pre-incentive fee income. For a more detailed discussion of the calculation of the two-part incentive fee, see “Management Services-Investment Advisory Agreement” in the applicable prospectus.

(9)    As of March 31, 2021, we had $1.8 billion outstanding of Unsecured Notes (as defined below) in various maturities, ranging from July 15, 2022 to October 15, 2043, and interest rates, ranging from 1.50% to 6.88%, some of which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at various conversion rates.

(10)    “Other expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. The amount shown above represents annualized expenses during our year ended March 31, 2021 representing all of our estimated recurring operating expenses (except fees and expenses reported in other items of this table) that are deducted from our operating income and reflected as expenses in our Statement of Operations. The estimate of our overhead expenses, including payments under an administration agreement with Prospect Administration, or the Administration Agreement is based on our projected allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Prospect Administration in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. See “Business-Management Services-Administration Agreement” in the applicable prospectus.

(11)    If all 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock were converted into common stock and assuming all the Series A and Series AA Shares of Preferred Stock pay a Holder Optional Conversion Fee of 9.00% and 9.50%, respectively, of the maximum public offering price disclosed within the applicable prospectus supplement and are converted at a conversion rate based on the 5-day VWAP of our common stock on March 31, 2021, which was $7.76, then management fees would be 3.31%, incentive fees payable under our Investment Advisory Agreement would be 1.50%, total advisory fees would be 4.81%, total interest expenses would be 2.71%, other expenses would be 0.68%, and total annual expenses would be 8.20% of net assets attributable to our common stock. The actual 5-day VWAP of our common stock on a conversion date may be more or less than $7.76, which may result in fees that are higher or lower than those described herein. These figures are based on the same assumptions described in the other notes to this fee table.

(12)    Based on the 5.50% per annum dividend rate applicable to the A Shares, M Shares, and AA Shares. Other series of preferred stock, including other series of preferred stock being sold in different offerings, may bear different annual dividend rates. No dividend will be paid on shares of Preferred Stock after they have been converted to shares of common stock.

(13)     The indirect expenses associated with the Company’s investments in collateralized loan obligations are not included in the fee table presentation, but if such expenses were included in the fee table presentation then the Company’s total annual expenses would have been 11.84%, or 13.81% after dividends on Preferred Stock.
