Re:Oxford Square Capital Corp.
Registration Statement on Form N-2
File Number: 333-265533

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

On behalf of Oxford Square Capital Corp. (the “Company”), this letter responds to the comments provided telephonically by the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to Dechert LLP, counsel to the Company, on June 23, 2022 and July 6, 2022 relating to the Company’s registration statement on Form N-2 that was filed with the SEC on June 10, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”). For your convenience, the Staff’s comments are summarized in this letter, and each comment is followed by the responses of the Company. Capitalized terms used in this letter and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings specified in Amendment No. 1 to the draft registration statement on Form N-2 filed by the Company on the date hereof (such draft registration statement being referred to herein as the “Amended Registration Statement”).

 

Accounting Comments

 

1.Comment: Please ensure that the Schedule of Investments includes all information required by footnote 8, including paragraph (c) thereof, to Rule 12-12 of Regulation S-X

 

Response: The Company has complied with this comment. See page 21 of the Amended Registration Statement.

Response: The Company has complied with this comment. See page 5 of the Amended Registration Statement.

 

3.Comment: Please supplementally provide the Staff with the following information with respect to the Company’s first and second lien debt investments in Premiere Global Services, Inc.:

 

i. whether each of the investments are income producing; and

 

ii. the dollar amount of any accrued and unpaid interest on each of the investments.

 

Response: On a supplemental basis, the Company advises the Staff that its investments in the first and second lien debt of Premiere Global Services, Inc. were placed on non-accrual during the quarters ended June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2019, respectively. Accordingly, the Company ceased recognizing interest income on the investments and reversed all unpaid, accrued interest on the investments during such period. Because the debt investments remained on non-accrual status at March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company included a footnote that indicates that the first and second lien debt investments (as well as the replacement revolver) of Premiere Global Services, Inc. were on non-accrual status as of such date in each of its SEC filings for the applicable period. The Company will revise the footnote denoting that the three investments are on non-accrual status in future SEC filings to clarify that the Company has not recognized interest income on the investments as of such period end.
