(In thousands, except share data)
 

(1)Fair value is determined in good faith by the Company (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements).

(2)Currently there are no differences for federal income tax purposes as it relates to unrealized gain and loss.

(3)Par amount is denominated in USD unless otherwise noted, British Pound (“£”), Canadian Dollar (“C$”), European Euro (“€”). Par amount represents funded commitments. See Note 20 in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on undrawn revolving and delayed draw loan commitments, including commitments to issue letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies.

(4)Other than the investments noted by this footnote, the fair value of the Company’s investments is determined using unobservable inputs that are significant to the overall fair value measurement. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”).

(5)Non-accrual status (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements).

(6)Non-income producing security.

(7)Unless otherwise indicated, all securities are pledged as collateral to our credit facility (the “AP Leaf Secured Credit Facility” as defined in Note 5 to the financial statements). As such, these securities are not available as collateral to our general creditors.

(8)Unless otherwise indicated, loan contains a variable rate structure, and the terms in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments disclose the actual interest rate in effect as of the reporting period which may be subject to interest floors. Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “S”) or an alternate base rate (which can include but is not limited to LIBOR, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrower’s option, and which reset periodically based on the terms of the loan agreement. Certain borrowers may elect to borrow Prime rate on select contracts and switch to an alternative base rate contract in the future.

(9)The interest rate on these loans is subject to 1 month SOFR, which as of September 30, 2024 was 4.85%.

(10)The interest rate on these loans is subject to 3 months SOFR, which as of September 30, 2024 was 4.59%.

(11)The interest rate on these loans is subject to 6 months SOFR, which as of September 30, 2024 was 4.25%.

(12)The interest rate on these loans is subject to 1 month CORRA, which as of September 30, 2024 was 4.25%.

(13)The interest rate on these loans is subject to 6 months EURIBOR, which as of September 30, 2024 was 3.11%.

(14)The interest rate on these loans is subject to SONIA, which as of September 30, 2024 was 4.95%.

(15)These are co-investments made with the Company’s affiliates in accordance with the terms of the exemptive order the Company received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permitting us to do so. (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of the exemptive order from the SEC.)

(16)Unless otherwise indicated, all investments are non-controlled, non-affiliated investments. Non-controlled, non-affiliated investments are defined as investments in which the Company owns less than 5% of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. As of September 30, 2024, all of the company's investments were non-controlled, non-affiliated.

(17)Investments that the Company has determined are not “qualifying assets” under Section 55(a) of 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. The status of these assets under the 1940 Act is subject to change. The Company monitors the status of these assets on an ongoing basis. As of September 30, 2024, non-qualifying assets represented approximately 5.6% of the total assets of the Company.

(18)The negative fair value is the result of the commitment being valued below par.

(19)The undrawn portion of these committed revolvers and delayed draw term loans includes a commitment and unused fee rate.

See notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 1. Organization

Middle Market Apollo Institutional Private Lending (the “Company,” “MMAIPL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware statutory trust formed on November 6, 2023, is a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) on March 15, 2024 (the “Conversion Date”). Prior to the Company's election to be regulated as a BDC, the Company was operated as a private fund in reliance on an exception from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act. The Company elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes and intends to qualify thereafter, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) beginning on the Conversion Date as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)(see Note 2). Prior to the Conversion date, MMAIPL was taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Apollo Credit Management, LLC (the “Adviser”, “ACM”) is our investment adviser and is an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“AGM” or “Apollo”). The Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Trustees (the “Board”), manages the day-to-day operations of the Company and provides investment advisory services to the Company.

Apollo Credit Management, LLC, as our administrator (in such capacity, the “Administrator”), provides among other things, administrative services and facilities to the Company. Furthermore, the Administrator will offer to provide, on our behalf, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance.

Apollo Capital Management, L.P. (the “Servicer”), is an affiliate of AGM. Prior to Conversion Date, the Servicer was contracted to assist in the management of the day-to-day operations of the Company, provide investment advisory and administrative services and facilities for the Company.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We primarily invest in directly originated and privately negotiated first lien senior secured loans to privately held U.S. middle-market companies, which the Company generally defines as companies with less than $75 million in EBITDA, as may be adjusted for market disruptions, mergers and acquisitions-related charges and synergies, and other items.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) pursuant to the requirements on ASC 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC 946”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented, have been included.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income, expenses, gains and losses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, credit worthiness of our portfolio companies, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.

Consolidation

As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC 946, the Company will not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's sole consolidated subsidiary was AP Leaf, LLC (“AP Leaf”), a Delaware limited liability company.

(In thousands, except share and per share data)
 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and near maturity, that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only securities with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase would qualify, with limited exceptions. The Company deems that certain money market funds, U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements, and other high-quality, short-term debt securities would qualify as cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The cash and cash equivalents balance as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $20,026 and $3,176 respectively.

Investment Transactions

Investments are recognized when we assume an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains and losses related to that instrument. 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. Specifically, we record all security transactions on a trade date basis. Amounts for investments recognized or derecognized but not yet settled are reported as a receivable for investments sold and a payable for investments purchased, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), where fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are determined within a framework that establishes a three-tier hierarchy which maximizes the use of observable market data and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, such as the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value using a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs for the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the information available. The inputs or methodology used for valuing assets or liabilities may not be an indication of the risks associated with investing in those assets or liabilities.

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. The level assigned to the investment valuations may not be indicative of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in such investments. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may differ materially from the values that would be received upon an actual disposition of such investments.

Investment Valuation Process

The Board has designated the Adviser as its “valuation designee” pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, and in that role the Adviser is responsible for performing fair value determinations relating to all of the Company's investments, including periodically assessing and managing any material valuation risks and establishing and applying fair value methodologies, in accordance with valuation policies and procedures that have been approved by the Board. Even though the Board designated the Company's Adviser as “valuation designee,” the Board continues to be responsible for overseeing the processes for determining fair valuation.

Under the Company's valuation policies and procedures, the Adviser values investments, including certain secured debt, unsecured debt and other debt securities with maturities greater than 60 days, for which market quotations are readily available, at such market quotations (unless they are deemed not to represent fair value). We attempt to obtain market quotations from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, otherwise from a principal market maker, primary market dealer or other independent pricing service). We utilize mid-market pricing as a practical expedient for fair value unless a different point within the range is more representative. If and when market quotations are unavailable or are deemed not to represent fair value, we typically utilize independent third party valuation firms to assist us in determining fair value. Accordingly, such investments go through our multi-step valuation process as described below. In each case, our independent third party valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such investments. Investments purchased within the quarter before the valuation date and debt investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may each be valued at cost with interest accrued or discount accreted/premium amortized to the date of maturity (although they are typically valued at available market quotations), unless such valuation, in the judgment of our Adviser, does not represent fair value. In this case such investments shall be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Adviser including using market quotations where available. Investments that are not publicly traded or whose market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Adviser. Such determination of fair values may involve subjective judgments and estimates.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, the Advisor undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

(1)Independent valuation firms engaged conduct independent appraisals and assessments for all the investments they have been engaged to review. If an independent valuation firm is not engaged during a particular quarter, the valuation may be conducted by the Adviser;

(2)At least each quarter, the valuation will be reassessed and updated by the Adviser or an independent valuation firm to reflect company specific events and latest market data;

(3)Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of our Adviser;

(4)The Adviser discusses valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in our portfolio based on the input of the applicable independent valuation firm; and

(5)For Level 3 investments entered into within the current quarter, the cost (purchase price adjusted for accreted original issue discount/amortized premium) or any recent comparable trade activity on the security investment shall be considered to reasonably approximate the fair value of the investment, provided that no material change has since occurred in the issuer’s business, significant inputs or the relevant environment.

Investments determined by these valuation procedures which have a fair value of less than $1 million during the prior fiscal quarter may be valued based on inputs identified by the Adviser without the necessity of obtaining valuation from an independent valuation firm, if once annually an independent valuation firm using the procedures described herein provides an independent assessment of value. Investments in all asset classes are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, seniority of investment in the investee company’s capital structure, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market (as the reporting entity) and enterprise values, among other factors. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were no significant changes to the Company’s valuation techniques and related inputs considered in the valuation process.

Valuation of Other Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, permits an entity to choose, at specified election dates, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value (the “Fair Value Option”). We have not elected the Fair Value Option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities. Debt issued by the Company is reported at amortized cost (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements). The carrying value of all other financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturities or their close proximity of the originations to the measurement date.

Realized Gains or Losses

37

MIDDLE MARKET APOLLO INSTITUTIONAL PRIVATE LENDING

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)
 

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are calculated by using the specific identification method. Securities that have been called by the issuer are recorded at the call price on the call effective date.

Investment Income Recognition

Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortizations of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original cost, including loan origination fees and upfront fees received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income in the current period.

PIK Income

The Company may have loans in its portfolio that contain PIK provisions. PIK investments offer issuers the option at each payment date of making payments in cash or in additional securities. PIK income computed at the contractual rate is accrued into income, which is included in interest income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, and reflected as interest receivable up to the capitalization date. 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, the Company capitalizes the accrued interest or dividends receivable (reflecting such amounts as the basis in the additional securities received). PIK generally becomes due at maturity of the investment or upon the investment being called by the issuer. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to Limited Owners in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected cash.

If at any point the Company believes PIK is not fully expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK 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. The Company does 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 the Company believes that PIK is expected to be realized.

Dividend Income

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies.

Fee Income

The Company may receive various fees in the ordinary course of business such as structuring, consent, waiver, amendment, syndication fees as well as fees for managerial assistance rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

Non-Accrual Income

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Expenses

Expenses include management fees, performance-based incentive fees, interest expense, insurance expenses, administrative service fees, legal fees, trustee fees, audit and tax service expenses, third-party valuation fees and other general and administrative expenses. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

Organization Expenses

Costs associated with the organization of the Company are expensed as incurred. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs of organizing the Company.

Offering Expenses

Costs associated with the offering of Limited Owner interests of the Company are capitalized as deferred offering expenses and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are amortized over a twelve-month period beginning with commencement of operations and any additional expenses for other offerings from incurrence. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with the Company’s offerings, preparation of the Company’s registration statement, and registration fees.

Financing Costs

The Company records expenses related to shelf filings and applicable offering costs as deferred financing costs in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. To the extent such expenses relate to equity offerings, these expenses are charged as a reduction of capital upon utilization, in accordance with ASC 946-20-25, or charged to expense if no offering is completed.

The Company records origination and other expenses related to its debt obligations as deferred financing costs. The deferred financing cost for all outstanding debt is presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. These expenses are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the straight-line method over the stated life of the obligation which approximates the effective yield method. In the event that we modify or extinguish our debt before maturity, the Company follows the guidance in ASC 470-50, Modification and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”). For extinguishments of our debt, any unamortized deferred financing costs are deducted from the carrying amount of the debt in determining the gain or loss from the extinguishment.

Federal and State Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must (among other requirements) meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company (among other requirements) intend to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from corporate-level income taxes. For income tax purposes, distributions made to stockholders are reported as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. The final determination of the tax character of distributions will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ending December 31, 2024. 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 dividend and distributions and other permanent book and tax difference 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 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 undistributed taxable income.

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 rates. Distribution 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 limitation under the Code, corporate distributions would be eligible for the dividend-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

(In thousands, except share and per share data)
 

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.

As of December 31, 2023, MMAIPL was taxed as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and as such, is not subject to income taxes; each investor was individually liable for income taxes, if any, on its distributive share of the Company’s net taxable income.

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 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. Penalties or interest, if applicable, that may be assessed relating to income taxes would be classified as other operating expenses in the financial statements. As of September 30, 2024, there were no uncertain tax positions and no amounts accrued for interest or penalties. 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.

Note 3. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

Investment Advisory Agreement

On March 15, 2024, the Company entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser will manage the Company on a day-to-day basis. The Adviser is responsible for originating prospective investments, conducting research and due diligence investigations on potential investments, analyzing investment opportunities, negotiating and structuring the Company’s investments and monitoring its investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis.

The Advisory Agreement is effective for an initial two-year term and thereafter will continue for successive annual periods provided that such continuance is specifically approved annually by a majority of the Board or by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities and, in each case, a majority of the independent trustees. The Company may terminate the Advisory Agreement, without payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written notice. The Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment within the meaning of the 1940 Act and related SEC guidance and interpretations.

The Company pays the Adviser a fee for its services under the Advisory Agreement consisting of two components, a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and the incentive fee will ultimately be borne by the shareholders. Substantial additional fees and expenses may also be charged by the Administrator to the Company, which is an affiliate of the Adviser.

Base Management Fee

The Management Fee is accrued monthly and paid quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Company's net assets as of the beginning of the first business day of the applicable month. For these purposes, “net assets” means the Company’s total assets less liabilities determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. For the first calendar quarter in which the Company has operations, net assets was measured as the average of net assets (i) at the date the Company first delivers a drawdown notice to its investors and (ii) at the end of such first calendar quarter. The Adviser has agreed to waive the management fee through March 15, 2025 and waive 50% of the management fee and incentive fee from March 15, 2025 to March 15, 2026.

Incentive Fee

The Incentive Fee consists of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on a percentage of our income and a portion is based on a percentage of our capital gains, each as described below.

(i) Incentive Fee on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income

The portion based on the Company’s income is based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns” means, as the context requires, either the dollar value of, or percentage rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter from, interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement entered into between us and our Administrator, and any interest expense or fees on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the incentive fee).

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns include, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The impact of expense support payments and recoupments are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns.

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter, is compared to a “hurdle rate” of return of 1.500% per quarter (6.000% annualized). We will pay the Adviser an incentive fee quarterly in arrears with respect to our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in each calendar quarter as follows:

•No incentive fee based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in any calendar quarter in which our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.500% per quarter (6.000% annualized);

•100% of the dollar amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than a rate of return of 1.710% (6.860% annualized). This “catch-up” is meant to provide the Adviser with approximately 12.5% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.710% in any calendar quarter; and

•12.5% of the dollar amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceed a rate of return of 1.710% (6.860% annualized). This reflects that once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 12.5% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns thereafter are allocated to the Adviser.

(ii) Incentive Fee on Capital Gains

The second part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year in an amount equal to 12.5% of realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year. Fees are computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees.

These calculations are for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. The Adviser has agreed to waive the incentive fee through March 15, 2025 and waive 50% of the incentive fee from March 15, 2025 to March 15, 2026.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $961 and $1,875 respectively, of management fees, and $1,574 and $3,386 respectively, of performance-based incentive fees before impact of waived fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, $961 and $1,875 respectively, of management fees, were waived and $1,574 and $3,386 respectively, of performance-based incentive fees were waived.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no amounts payable to the Advisor relating to management fees or incentive fees.

Administration Agreement

On March 15, 2024, the Company entered into an Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator. Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator will provide, or oversee the performance of, administrative and compliance services, including, but not limited to, maintaining financial records, overseeing the calculation of net asset value , compliance monitoring (including diligence and oversight of other service providers), preparing reports to shareholders and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), preparing materials and coordinating meetings of the Company’s Board, managing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others and providing office space, equipment and office services. The Company will reimburse the Administrator for the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. Such reimbursement will include the Company’s allocable portion of compensation, overhead (including rent, office equipment and utilities) and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, including but not limited to: (i) the Company’s chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs; (ii) investor relations, legal, operations and other non-investment professionals at the Administrator that perform duties for the Company; and (iii) any internal audit group personnel of AGM or any of its affiliates, subject to the limitations described in Advisory and Administration Agreements. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator may delegate its obligations under the Administration Agreement to an affiliate or to a third party and the Company will reimburse the Administrator for any services performed by such affiliate or third party. The Administrator hired a sub-administrator to assist in the provision of administrative services. The sub-administrator will receive compensation for its sub-administrative services under a sub-administration agreement.

Transaction Agreement

In December 2023, the Company entered into a transaction agreement whereby, among other things, accepted initial capital commitments and entered into a master participation and sale agreement (the “Asset Transfer Agreement”) to acquire the initial loan portfolio of an affiliated Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Affiliate”). See below for additional information on the Asset Transfer Agreement and Note 6 for information on initial capital commitments.

Asset Transfer Agreement

In December 2023, AP Leaf entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement with the Affiliate pursuant to which AP Leaf would acquire and hold (a) initially participation rights in the initial loan portfolio and (b) legal and beneficial title to the initial loan portfolio. As part of the initial loan portfolio, the Affiliate transferred $785,224 of secured, floating rate, middle market term loans to AP Leaf. AP Leaf also acquired $1,280 of capitalized PIK for no additional consideration.

In January 2024, all loans acquired in the initial loan portfolio were assigned to the Company and ceased to be owned through the Asset Transfer Agreement with the Affiliate. Additional consideration of $236 was provided to the Affiliate in conjunction with settlement of the Asset Transfer Agreement.

Servicing Fee Agreement

As part of the Transaction Agreement, the Company entered into an agreement with the Servicer to provide, or oversee the performance of, administrative and compliance services, including, but not limited to, (a) possessing, keeping and maintaining the books and records of the Company; (b) preparing and delivering financial information (including financial statements); and (c) the day-to-day administration of the loan portfolio, including opening and maintaining bank accounts for the Company and receiving and disbursing funds therefrom. The Company acknowledges that these services, in whole or in part, will be sub-contracted to MidCap Financial Services, LLC.

In exchange for these services, a servicing fee will be paid quarterly in arrears to the Servicer, as described below:

(1) With respect to certain assets acquired by the Affiliate before December 20, 2018 and sold to the Company in conjunction with the Asset Transfer Agreement above, a service fee equal to 0.0625% of the aggregate face value of the final day of the quarter; and

(2) With respect to certain assets acquired by the Affiliate after December 20, 2018 and sold to the Company in conjunction with the Asset Transfer Agreement above, a service fee equal to 0.0875% of the aggregate face value of the final day of the quarter.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $– and $553 respectively, of servicing fees. The agreement with the Servicer terminated after the Conversion Date, when the Company elected to be regulated as a BDC.

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

The Company entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Support Agreement”) with the Adviser. The Adviser may elect to pay certain expenses (each, an “Expense Payment”), provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any interest or distributions and/or servicing fees of the Company. Any Expense Payment that the Adviser has committed to pay must be paid by the Adviser to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than forty-five days after such commitment was made in writing, and/or offset against amounts due from the Company to the Adviser or its affiliates.

Following any calendar month in which Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Company’s shareholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar month (the amount of such excess being hereinafter referred to as “Excess Operating Funds”), the Company shall pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof, to the Adviser until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Adviser to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar month have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company shall be referred to herein as a “Reimbursement Payment”. “Available Operating Funds” means the sum of (i) net investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gains reduced by net long-term capital losses), (ii) net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above).

No Reimbursement Payment for any month will be made if: (1) the “Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share” (as defined below) declared by the Company at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is less than the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates, or (2) our “Operating Expense Ratio” (as defined below) at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is greater than the Operating Expense Ratio at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates. Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, “Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share” means the annualized rate (based on a 365 day year) of regular cash distributions per share exclusive of returns of capital, distribution rate reductions due to distribution and shareholder fees, and declared special dividends or special distributions, if any. The “Operating Expense Ratio” is calculated by dividing Operating Expenses, less organizational and offering expenses, base management and incentive fees owed to Adviser, and interest expense, by our net assets.

The Company’s obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment shall automatically become a liability of the Company on the last business day of the applicable calendar month, except to the extent the Adviser has waived its right to receive such payment for the applicable month.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which we will reinvest all cash distributions declared by the Board on behalf of our shareholders who do not elect to receive their distributions in cash as provided below. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and we declare, a cash distribution or other distribution, then our shareholders who have not opted out of our distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares as described below, rather than receiving the cash distribution or other distribution. distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places. No action is required on the part of a registered shareholder to have his, her or its cash distribution or other distribution reinvested in our shares.

Co-Investment Activity

We may co-invest on a concurrent basis with affiliates of ours, subject to compliance with applicable regulations and our allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only in accordance with the Order from the SEC permitting us to do so. Under the terms of the Order, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent trustees must be able to reach certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction are reasonable and fair to us and our shareholders and do not involve overreaching of us or our shareholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our shareholders and is consistent with our Board of Trustees’ approved criteria. In certain situations where co-investment with one or more funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates is not covered by the Order, the personnel of the Adviser or its affiliates will need to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. Such personnel will make these determinations based on allocation policies and procedures, which are designed to reasonably ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among affiliated funds over time and in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Order is subject to certain terms and conditions so there can be no assurance that we will be permitted to co-invest with certain of our affiliates other than in the circumstances currently permitted by regulatory guidance and the Order.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s co-investment holdings were 22.6% of the portfolio or $202,788, measured at fair value. On a cost basis, 22.5% of the portfolio or $202,831 were co-investments.

The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs the Company used to value its investments categorized within Level 3 as of September 30, 2024. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the tables below, according to our valuation policy we may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining our fair value measurements. The below table is not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provide information on the significant unobservable inputs as they relate to the Company’s determination of fair values.

The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2024 were as follows:

				Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
Asset Category		Fair Value		Valuation Techniques/Methodologies	Unobservable Input	Range		Weighted Average (1)
First Lien Secured Debt	$		764,817	Yield Analysis	Discount Rate	8.4%	22.0%	11.0%
			5,323	Market Comparable Technique	Comparable Multiple	9.5x	9.5x	9.5x

Common Equity/Partnership Interests			147	Recent Transaction	Recent Transaction	N/A	N/A	N/A
Total Level 3 Investments	$		889,790

(1)The weighted average information is generally derived by assigning each disclosed unobservable input a proportionate weight based on the fair value of the related investment. For the commodity price unobservable input, the weighted average price is an undiscounted price based upon the estimated production level from the underlying reserves.

The unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our Level 3 investments as of December 31, 2023 were as follows:

				Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
Asset Category		Fair Value		Valuation Techniques/Methodologies	Unobservable Input	Range			Weighted Average (1)
First Lien Secured Debt	$		777,220	Discounted Cash Flow	Discount Rate	9.3%	-	20.7%	11.9%
Total Level 3 Investments	$		777,220

(1)The weighted average information is generally derived by assigning each disclosed unobservable input a proportionate weight based on the fair value of the related investment. For the commodity price unobservable input, the weighted average price is an undiscounted price based upon the estimated production level from the underlying reserves.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and equity securities are primarily earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) comparable multiples and market discount rates. The Company typically uses EBITDA comparable multiples on its equity securities to determine the fair value of investments. The Company uses market discount rates for debt securities to determine if the effective yield on a debt security is commensurate with the market yields for that type of debt security. If a debt security’s effective yield is significantly less than the market yield for a similar debt security with a similar credit profile, the resulting fair value of the debt security may be lower. For certain investments where fair value is derived based on a recovery analysis, the Company uses underlying commodity prices from third party market pricing services to determine the fair value and/or recoverable amount, which represents the proceeds expected to be collected through asset sales or liquidation. Further, for certain investments, the Company also considered the probability of future events which are not in management’s control. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the structured products include the discount rate applied in the valuation models in addition to default and recovery rates applied to projected cash flows in the valuation models. Specifically, when a discounted cash flow model is used to determine fair value, the significant input used in the valuation model is the discount rate applied to present value the projected cash flows. Increases in the discount rate can significantly lower the fair value of an investment; conversely decreases in the discount rate can significantly increase the fair value of an investment. The discount rate is determined based on the market rates an investor would expect for a similar investment with similar risks. For certain investments such as warrants, the Company may use an option pricing technique, of which the applicable method is the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Method (“BSM”), to perform valuations. The BSM is a model of price variation over time of financial instruments, such as equity, that is used to determine the price of call or put options. Various inputs are required but the primary unobservable input into the BSM model is the underlying asset volatility.

Note 6. Net Assets

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 per share par value. Since the commencement of operations on December 15, 2023, the Company has entered into Subscription Agreements with investors, including affiliates of the Adviser, to make commitments to purchase Common Shares (“Capital Commitments”). Under the terms of the Capital Commitments, investors are required to fund capital contributions to purchase MMAIPL’s common stock at a price per share equal to the most recent NAV per share determined within 48 hours of a date specified in the drawdown notice. Drawdown notices will be deliver at least 10 business days prior to the date on which contributions will be due and drawdown amounts will generally be made pro rata, in accordance with unfunded Capital Commitments of all investors.

On December 15, 2023, two beneficial owners (the “Limited Owners”) were admitted to the Company in exchange for $433,333 in Capital Commitments including $33,333 committed by an affiliate of the Adviser. Of the $433,333 in Capital Commitments, the Company called $293,587 prior to its election to be regulated as a BDC (the “Conversion Date”). All Limited Owners funded Capital Commitments were converted into 12,145,597 Common Shares at the Conversion Date.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had the following Capital Commitments, pursuant to Subscription Agreements, and contributions from its stockholders:

Note 7. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”), pursuant to ASC 260-10:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		For Period between March 15, 2024 (1) and September 30,
	2024		2024
Basic Earnings Per Share
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations	$	9,274	$	23,426
Weighted average shares outstanding		14,459,794		13,406,659
Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	0.64	$	1.75

(1) Prior to the Conversion Date, the Company had no shares outstanding. EPS has been derived based on the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period between March 15, 2024 (Conversion Date) and September 30, 2024.

Diluted earnings per share equal basic earnings per share because there were no common share equivalents outstanding during the period presented.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has various commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, including commitments to issue letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had the following unfunded commitments to its portfolio companies:

	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Unfunded revolver obligations and bridge loan commitments (1)	$	1,725	$	—
Standby letters of credit issued and outstanding (2)		22
Unfunded delayed draw loan commitments (including commitments with performance thresholds not met) (3)		2,955		—
Total Unfunded Commitments	$	4,701	$	—

(1) The unfunded revolver obligations may or may not be funded to the borrowing party in the future. The amounts relate to loans with various maturity dates, but the entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers as of September 30, 2024, subject to the terms of each loan’s respective credit agreements which includes borrowing covenants that need to be met prior to funding. As of September 30, 2024, no bridge loan commitments were outstanding.

(2) For all these letters of credit issued and outstanding, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. None of the letters of credit issued and outstanding are recorded as a liability on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as such letters of credit are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company.

(3) The Company’s commitment to fund delayed draw loans is triggered upon the satisfaction of certain pre-negotiated terms and conditions which can include covenants to maintain specified leverage levels and other related borrowing base covenants. For commitments to fund delayed draw loans with performance thresholds, borrowers are required to meet certain performance requirements before the Company is obligated to fulfill these commitments.

Organizational and Offering Costs

The Adviser agreed to bear all of the Company’s organization and offering expenses through the date on which the Company commenced operations. The Company is obligated to reimburse the Adviser for such expenses. The total organization and offering costs incurred were $469, which were recognized by the Company when it commenced operations.

If actual organization costs incurred exceed 0.25% of the Company's total Capital Commitments, the Adviser or its affiliates will bear such excess costs for the 36 months beginning on the date which the Company commenced operations. To the extent that the Company's Capital Commitments later increase following such 36 month period, the Adviser or its affiliates may be reimbursed for past payments of excess organization costs made on the Company’s behalf, provided that the total organization costs borne by the Company do not exceed 0.25% of total Capital Commitments at any time and provided further that the Adviser or its affiliates may not be reimbursed for payment of excess organization expenses that were incurred more than three years prior to the proposed reimbursement. Any sales load, platform fees, servicing fees or similar fees or expenses charged directly to an investor in an offering by a placement agent or similar party will not be considered organization expenses of the Company for purposes of the Company’s cap on organization expenses. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s actual organizational costs were less than 0.25% of the Company’s total Capital Commitments and the Company has been organized. Accordingly, the Adviser did not cover any organizational costs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Middle Market Apollo Institutional Private Lending:

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Middle Market Apollo Institutional Private Lending and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 and the financial highlights for the period March 15, 2024 to September 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statement of operations, change in net assets, and cash flows for the period from December 15, 2023 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2023 (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 14, 2024, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Overview

Middle Market Apollo Institutional Private Lending (the “Company,” “MMAIPL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on November 6, 2023. We are a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) on March 15, 2024 (the “Conversion Date”). As such, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. In addition, for federal income tax purposes, we will elect to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Pursuant to this election and assuming we qualify as a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any income we distribute to our stockholders. We commenced operations on December 15, 2023, upon the admission of two beneficial owners (the “Limited Owners”) in the Company in exchange for $433,333 in Capital Commitments including $33,333 committed by an affiliate of the Adviser. Of the $433,333 in Capital Commitments, the Company called $293,587 prior to its election to be regulated as a BDC (the “Conversion Date”). All Limited Owners funded Capital Commitments were converted into 12,145,597 Common Shares at the Conversion Date. Since Conversion Date, and through September 30, 2024, we have raised approximately $60,000 in net proceeds from additional offerings of Common Shares.

Recent Developments

See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 10. Subsequent Events” for a summary of recent developments.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, credit worthiness of portfolio companies and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. In addition to the discussion below, our significant accounting policies are further described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), where fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are determined within a framework that establishes a three-tier hierarchy which maximizes the use of observable market data and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, such as the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value using a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs for the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the information available. The inputs or methodology used for valuing assets or liabilities may not be an indication of the risks associated with investing in those assets or liabilities.

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. The level assigned to the investment valuations may not be indicative of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in such investments. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may differ materially from the values that would be received upon an actual disposition of such investments.

As of September 30, 2024, $889.8 million or 99.1% of the Company’s investments were classified as Level 3. The high proportion of Level 3 investments relative to our total investments is directly related to our investment philosophy and target portfolio, which consists primarily of long-term secured debt, as well as unsecured and mezzanine positions of private middle-market companies. A fundamental difference exists between our investments and those of comparable publicly traded fixed income investments, namely high-yield bonds, and this difference affects the valuation of our private investments relative to comparable publicly traded instruments.

55

Senior secured loans, or senior loans, are higher in the capital structure than high-yield bonds, and are typically secured by assets of the borrowing company. This improves their recovery prospects in the event of default and affords senior loans a structural advantage over high-yield bonds. Many of the Company’s investments are also privately negotiated and contain covenant protections that limit the issuer to take actions that could harm us as a creditor. High-yield bonds typically do not contain such covenants.

Given the structural advantages of capital seniority and covenant protection, the valuation of our private debt portfolio is driven more by investment specific credit factors than movements in the broader debt capital markets. Each security is evaluated individually and as indicated below, we value our private investments based upon a multi-step valuation process, including valuation recommendations from independent valuation firms.

Net Investment Income on Per Average Share Basis and EPS has been derived based on the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period between March 15, 2024 (Conversion Date) and September 30, 2024.

Total Investment Income

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, total investment income were $26.1 million and $74.4 million, respectively, driven by our initial deployment of capital. The size of our investment portfolio at fair value was $897.7 million as of September 30, 2024. The weighted average yields on the debt and income producing portfolio at fair value were 11.1% and 11.9% for three months ended September 30, 2024 and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

56

Net Expenses

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, net expenses were $12.5 million and $36.3 million, respectively, primarily attributable to interest and other debt expenses. Interest and other debt expenses was driven by $510.8 million of average borrowings at a total annualized cost of debt of 8.18% for three months ended September 30, 2024 and $496.0 million of average borrowings at a total annualized cost of debt of 8.18% for nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Management and performance based incentive fees incurred were $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively for three months ended September 30, 2024. Management and performance-based incentive fees incurred were $1.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively for nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Advisor has agreed to waive management fees and performance-based incentive fees till March 15, 2025, which resulted in waivers of $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for three months ended September 30, 2024. The management fees and performance-based incentive fees waiver were $1.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively for nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Net Change in Unrealized Gains (Losses)

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized gross unrealized gains of $0.6 million and gross unrealized losses of $4.8 million, including the impact of transferring unrealized to realized gains (losses), resulting in net change in unrealized losses of $4.2 million which was primarily driven by financial underperformance of SEKO Global Logistics Network LLC. Significant changes in unrealized gains (losses) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 are summarized below:

(in millions)	Net Unrealized Gain (Loss)
SEKO Global Logistics Network, LLC	$	(1.3	)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized gross unrealized gains of $2.4 million and gross unrealized losses of $7.9 million, including the impact of transferring unrealized to realized gains (losses), resulting in net change in unrealized losses of $5.5 million. Net change in unrealized gains (losses) for the three months and nine ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by the financial underperformance of SEKO Global Logistics Network, LLC, FEV Acquisition Corporation. Significant changes in unrealized gains (losses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are summarized below:

(in millions)	Net Unrealized Gain (Loss)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources are generated and generally available through periodic follow-on equity and debt offerings, our AP Leaf Secured Credit Facility (as defined in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements), our capital commitments, as well as from cash flows from operations, investment sales of liquid assets and repayments of senior and subordinated loans and income earned from investments.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents on hand, our short-term investments, our AP Leaf Secured Credit Facility and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our cash needs for our daily operations for at least the next twelve months.

Cash Equivalents

The Company defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only securities with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase would qualify, with limited exceptions. The Company deems that certain money market funds, U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities would qualify as cash equivalents (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements). At the end of each fiscal quarter, we consider taking proactive steps utilizing cash

57

equivalents with the objective of enhancing our investment flexibility during the following quarter, pursuant to Section 55 of the 1940 Act. More specifically, we may purchase U.S. Treasury bills from time-to-time on the last business day of the quarter and typically close out that position on the following business day, settling the sale transaction on a net cash basis with the purchase, subsequent to quarter end. The Company may also utilize other balance sheet transactions, including calling capital commitments, as we deem appropriate. The amount of these transactions or such drawn cash for this purpose is excluded from total assets for purposes of computing the asset base upon which the management fee is determined.

Debt

See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for information on the Company’s debt.

The following table shows the contractual maturities of our debt obligations as of September 30, 2024:

		Payments Due by Period
(in millions)	Total			Less than 1 Year		1 to 3 Years		3 to 5 Years		More than 5 Years
Senior Secured Facility (1)	$		554.4	$	—	$	—	$	554.4	$	—
Total Debt Obligations	$		554.4	$	—	$	—	$	554.4	$	—

(1)As of September 30, 2024, aggregate lender commitments under the Senior Secured Facility totaled $650 million.

Shareholders’ Equity

See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for information on the Company’s capital commitments.

Distributions

For income tax purposes, distributions made to stockholders are reported as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. Although the tax character of distributions paid to stockholders through September 30, 2024 may include return of capital, the exact amount cannot be determined at this point. The final determination of the tax character of distributions will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ended December 31, 2024. Tax characteristics of all distributions will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. Our quarterly distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board.

To maintain our RIC status, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. Although we currently intend to distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually, out of the assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment. Currently, we have substantial net capital loss carryforwards and consequently do not expect to generate cumulative net capital gains in the foreseeable future.

We maintain an “opt out” distribution reinvestment plan for our shareholders. As a result, if we declare a distribution, then stockholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they specifically “opt out” of the distribution reinvestment plan so as to receive cash distributions.

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC, we may in the future be limited in our ability to make distributions. Also, our revolving credit facility may limit our ability to declare distributions if we default under certain provisions or fail to satisfy certain other conditions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we may suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of the tax benefits available to us as a RIC. In addition, in accordance with GAAP and tax regulations, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as contractual PIK, which represents contractual interest added to the loan balance that becomes due at the end of the loan term, or the accrual of original issue or market discount. Since we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may not be able to meet the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a RIC.

58

With respect to the distributions to stockholders, income from origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees associated with investments in portfolio companies is treated as taxable income and accordingly, distributed to stockholders.

PIK Income

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, PIK income totaled $0.7 million and $1.2 million on total investment income of $26.1 million and $74.4 million, respectively. In order to maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders annually in the form of distributions, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for more information on the Company’s PIK income.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and the valuations of our investment portfolio.

Investment Valuation Risk

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, we value all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board based on, among other things, the input of our management and audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of our Board to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation (with certain de minimis exceptions). 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 valuations currently assigned. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” and “—Fair Value Measurements” as well as Note 2 and Note 4 to our financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 for more information relating to our investment valuation.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. 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.

As of September 30, 2024, the majority of our debt portfolio investments bore interest at variable rates, which generally are SOFR-based (or based on an equivalent applicable currency rate) and typically have durations of one to six months after which they reset to current market interest rates, and many of which are subject to certain floors. Further, our AP Leaf Secured Credit Facility bears interest at SOFR rates with no interest rate floors.

We regularly measure our exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

59

The following table shows the estimated annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate flows for variable rate instruments) to our loan portfolio and outstanding debt as of September 30, 2024, assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

Basis Point Change	Net Investment Income		Net Investment Income Per Share
Up 150 basis points	$	5.2 million	$	0.359
Up 100 basis points		3.5 million		0.240
Up 50 basis points		1.7 million		0.120
Down 50 basis points		(1.7) million		(0.119	)
Down 100 basis points		(3.4) million		(0.235	)
Down 150 basis points		(5.1) million		(0.351	)

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2024 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) 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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management has not identified any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge are any material legal proceedings threatened against us. From time to time, we may become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. While we do not expect that the resolution of these matters if they arise would materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, resolution will be subject to various uncertainties and could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factor below and other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Amendment No.1 to our Registration Statement on Form 10, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. These risks 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 and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
