Item 1.   Security and Issuer.

This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”), of Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 20 Horseneck Lane, Greenwich, CT 06830.

This Schedule 13D is filed jointly on behalf of Trident V, L.P. (“Trident V”), Trident Capital V, L.P. (“Trident V GP”), Trident V Parallel Fund, L.P.

Each Reporting Person is a Cayman Islands limited partnership with a principal business and principal office address of 20 Horseneck Lane, Greenwich, CT 06830. The principal business of each of Trident V and Trident V Parallel is investing in the securities of companies operating in the financial services industry.

The sole general partner of Trident V is Trident V GP. Voting rights with regard to the Common Shares held by Trident V have been passed through to the ultimate limited partners of Trident V. However, as the general partner, Trident V GP holds investment power with respect to the Common Shares that are, or may be deemed to be, beneficially owned by Trident V. 

The sole general partner of Trident V Parallel is Trident V Parallel GP. Voting rights with regard to the Common Shares held by Trident V Parallel have been passed through to the ultimate limited partners of Trident V Parallel. However, as the general partner, Trident V Parallel GP holds investment power with respect to the Common Shares that are, or may be deemed to be, beneficially owned by Trident V Parallel.

The general partners of each of Trident V GP and Trident V Parallel GP are four single member limited liability companies that are owned by individuals who are members of Stone Point Capital LLC (Charles A. Davis, James D. Carey, David J. Wermuth and Nicolas D. Zerbib).   

During the last five years none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the general partners, executive officers or controlling persons of any Reporting Person has (1) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (2) been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Further information regarding the identity and background of the Reporting Persons is set forth in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

All of the Common Shares herein reported as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired by Trident V and Trident V Parallel in connection with the conversion of the Issuer from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation on October 6, 2014. The limited liability company interests that converted into the Common Shares currently held by Trident V and Trident V Parallel were initially issued to Eagle Point Credit Partners Sub Ltd. (“EPCP”) in exchange for a contribution of a portion of EPCP’s portfolio of investments to the Issuer. Upon the

Issuer’s conversion, Trident V and Trident V Parallel were distributed the Common Shares herein reported as a redemption in-kind based on the portion of the portfolio of investments contributed by EPCP to the Issuer that was attributable to Trident V and Trident V Parallel, respectively.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction. 

Each of the Reporting Persons acquired the Common Shares held by it for investment purposes.

Although no Reporting Person currently has any specific plan or proposal to acquire additional Common Shares or dispose its Common Shares or to acquire or dispose of any securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares, each Reporting Person, consistent with its investment purpose, at any time and from time to time may directly or indirectly acquire additional Common Shares or associated rights or securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares or dispose of any or all of its Common Shares or its associated rights or securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Shares (including, without limitation, distributing some or all of such securities to such Reporting Person’s members, partners, stockholders or beneficiaries, as applicable), depending upon an ongoing evaluation of its investment in such securities, applicable legal and/or contractual restrictions, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of such Reporting Person and/or other investment considerations.

In addition, each of Trident V and Trident V Parallel, solely in its capacity as a stockholder of the Issuer, and each of Trident V GP and Trident V Parallel GP, on behalf of Trident V and Trident V Parallel, respectively, as their direct general partners, may engage in communications with one or more other stockholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the Board of Directors of Issuer and/or one or more representatives of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations.  Each of the Reporting Persons, in such capacities, may discuss ideas that, if effected, may relate to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.

Other than as described above, each of the Reporting Persons reports that neither it nor, to its knowledge, any of the other persons named in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D, currently has any plan or proposal which relates to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
