Transfers of Financial Assets
TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Investment in CLO and Related Transactions
In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company purchased $27.4 million of Euro-denominated loans in the open market and contemporaneously entered into a forward sale agreement to sell the loans at cost to a European CLO managed by the Company. As of March 31, 2017, the entire balance of $27.4 million of the loans subject to the forward sale agreement was transferred and the criteria for derecognition met. The Company sold the derecognized loans to the CLO at cost, and therefore there were no realized gains or losses recognized on the sale.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company purchased $21.5 million of senior secured and subordinated notes issued by the CLO to which it sold the loans discussed above. These investments in the CLO represent retained interests to the Company. The retained interest is reported as investment in CLO, at fair value, within other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (see Note 7).
The Company uses independent pricing services to value its investments in the CLO, and therefore the only key assumption is the price provided by such service. A corresponding adverse change of 10% or 20% on price would have a corresponding impact on the fair value of the Company’s investment. The Company has not yet received payments from its investment in the CLO nor any management fees from the CLO and does not expect to receive any payments until July 2017, in accordance with the underlying contractual agreements.
