NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
Blackstone / GSO Long-Short Credit Income Fund (“BGX” or the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company. BGX was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 22, 2010. BGX was registered under the 1940 Act on October 26, 2010. BGX commenced operations on January 27, 2011. Prior to that, BGX had no operations other than matters relating to its organization and the sale and issuance of 5,236 common shares of beneficial interest in BGX to the Adviser at a price of $19.10 per share. The Adviser serves as the investment adviser for BGX. BGX’s common shares are listed on the Exchange and trade under the ticker symbol “BGX.”
On May 22, 2020, the SEC declared effective a registration statement filed under the “shelf” registration process for BGX. Pursuant to the shelf registration, BGX may offer, from time to time, in one or more offerings, up to $100,000,000 of common shares. These shares may be offered and sold to or through underwriters, through dealers or agents that BGX designates from time to time, directly to purchasers, through at-the-market (“ATM”) offerings or through a combination of these methods. As of September 30, 2020, BGX has not yet offered any shares pursuant to this shelf registration.
Investment Objectives: BGX’s primary investment objective is to provide current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. BGX seeks to achieve its investment objectives by employing a dynamic long-short strategy in a diversified portfolio of loans and fixed-income instruments of predominantly U.S. corporate issuers, including first- and second-lien secured loans (“Secured Loans”) and high-yield corporate debt securities of varying maturities. BGX’s short positions, either directly or through the use of derivatives, may total up to 30% of such Fund’s net assets.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are stated in U.S. dollars. The Fund is considered an Investment Company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Portfolio Valuation: BGB’s net asset value (“NAV”) is determined daily on each day that the Exchange is open for business, as of the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange. Each Fund calculates NAV per share by subtracting liabilities (including accrued expenses or dividends) from the total assets of such Fund (the value of the securities plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result by the total number of outstanding common shares of such Fund.
Loans are primarily valued by using a composite loan price from a nationally recognized loan pricing service. The methodology used by the Fund’s nationally recognized loan pricing provider for composite loan prices is to value loans at the mean of the bid and ask prices from one or more brokers or dealers. Collateralized Loan Obligation securities (“CLOs”) are valued at the price provided by a nationally recognized pricing service. The prices provided by the nationally recognized pricing service are typically based on the evaluated mid-price of each of the CLOs. Corporate bonds and convertible bonds, other than short-term investments, are valued at the price provided by a nationally recognized pricing service. The prices provided by the nationally recognized pricing service are typically based on the mean of bid and ask prices for each corporate bond security. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are generally valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Futures contracts are ordinarily valued at the last sales price on the securities or commodities exchange on which they are traded. Written and purchased options are ordinarily valued at the closing price on the securities or commodities exchange on which they are traded. Short-term debt investments, if any, having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased would be valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Any investments and other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (“Fair Valued Assets”) as determined in good faith by a committee of the Adviser (“Fair Valued Asset Committee”) under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Such methods may include, but are not limited to, the use of a market comparable and/or income approach methodologies. A Fair Valued Asset Committee meeting may be called at any time by any member of the Fair Valued Asset Committee. The pricing of all Fair Valued Assets and determinations thereof shall be reported by the Fair Valued Asset Committee to the Board at each regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. The Fund has procedures to identify and investigate potentially stale or missing prices for investments which are valued using a nationally recognized pricing service, exchange price or broker-dealer quotations. After performing such procedures, any prices which are deemed to be stale are reviewed by the Fair Valued Asset Committee and an alternative pricing source is determined.
Various inputs are used to determine the value of BGX’s investments. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumption in determining the fair value of investments).
The categorization of a value determined for investments and other financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and other financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 because of a lack of observable market data due to decrease in market activity and information for these securities. Other securities were moved from Level 3 to Level 2 as observable inputs were available for purposes of valuing those assets.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes and amounts payable or receivable for trades not settled at the time of period end are reflected as liabilities and assets, respectively. Interest Income is recognized on an accrual basis from the date of settlement. Accretion of discount and amortization of premium, which are included in interest income, are accreted or amortized daily using the accrual basis interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
COVID-19 and Global Economic and Market Conditions: The ongoing novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and restrictions on non-essential businesses have caused disruption in the U.S. and global economies. Despite significant market rebounds across many asset classes, the continued rapid development of this situation and uncertainty regarding potential economic recovery precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on financial market and economic conditions. The estimates and assumptions underlying these financial statements are based on the information available as of September 30, 2020, including judgments about the financial market and economic conditions which may change over time.
NOTE 3. SENIOR AND SECURED FLOATING RATE LOANS
BGX includes first and second lien secured, floating rate loans that are made to U.S. and, to a limited extent, non-U.S. corporations, partnerships, and other business entities (“Borrowers”), in its definition of “Secured Loans”. Under normal market conditions, at least 70% of BGX’s Managed Assets (defined below) will be invested in Secured Loans. BGX defines its “Managed Assets” as total assets (including any assets attributable to any leverage used) minus the sum of BGX’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities related to the principal amount of leverage). At September 30, 2020, 78.22% of BGX’s Managed Assets were held in Secured Loans.
Loans hold a senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, are secured with specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by unsecured creditors, subordinated debt holders and stockholders of the Borrower.
Loans often require prepayments from Borrowers’ excess cash flows or permit the Borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which Borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, floating rate loans typically have an expected average life of two to four years. Floating rate loans typically have rates of interest which are re-determined periodically, either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a floating base lending rate, primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus a premium or credit spread.
Instruments in which the Fund invests may pay interest at floating rates based on LIBOR or may be subject to interest caps or floors based on LIBOR. The Fund and issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests may also obtain financing at floating rates based on LIBOR. The underlying collateral of CLOs in which the Fund invests may pay interest at floating rates based on LIBOR. Derivative instruments utilized by the Fund and/or issuers of instruments in which the Fund may invest may also reference LIBOR.
On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. Various financial industry groups have begun planning for that transition, however, there remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. It is expected that a number of private-sector banks currently reporting information used to set LIBOR will stop doing so after 2021 when their current reporting commitment ends, which could either cause LIBOR to stop publication immediately or cause LIBOR’s regulator to determine that its quality has degraded to the degree that it is no longer representative of its underlying market. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, intends to replace the U.S. dollar LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR), a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could have adverse impacts and represent a significant risk on newly issued financial instruments and existing financial instruments which reference LIBOR. While some instruments may contemplate a scenario where LIBOR is no longer available by providing for an alternative rate setting methodology, not all instruments may have such provisions and there are significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of any such alternative methodologies. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could lead to significant short-term and long-term uncertainty and market instability and the extent to which that may impact the Fund may vary depending on various factors, which include, but are not limited to: (i) existing fallback or termination provisions in individual contracts and (ii) whether, how, and when industry participants develop and adopt new successor reference rates and/or fallbacks for both legacy and new instruments. In addition, the transition to a successor rate could potentially cause (i) increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR, (ii) a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by the Fund, or (iii) reduced effectiveness of related Fund transactions, such as hedging. It remains uncertain how such changes would be implemented and the effects such changes would have on the Fund, issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests and financial markets generally.
Loans are subject to the risk of payment defaults of scheduled interest or principal. Such non-payment could result in a reduction of income, a reduction in the value of the investment and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Fund. Risk of loss of income is generally higher for subordinated unsecured loans or debt, which are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral. There can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral securing a Loan would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation to the Fund in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated.
Second lien loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in first lien loans except that such loans are subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority to first lien holders. In the event of default on a second lien loan, the first priority lien holder has first claim to the underlying collateral of the loan. Second lien loans are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the Borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior obligations of the Borrower. At September 30, 2020, BGX had invested $29,498,416 in second lien secured loans.
Loans can be rated below investment grade or may also be unrated. As a result, the risks associated with Loans may be similar to the risks of other below investment grade securities, although they are senior and secured in contrast to other below investment grade securities, which are often subordinated or unsecured. BGX typically invests in Loans rated below investment grade, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk of the Borrowers. Such companies are more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal owed to BGX, and such defaults could reduce NAV and income distributions. The amount of public information available with respect to below investment grade loans will generally be less extensive than that available for registered or exchange-listed securities. In evaluating the creditworthiness of Borrowers, the Adviser will consider, and may rely in part, on analyses performed by others. The Adviser’s established best execution procedures and guidelines require trades to be placed for execution only with broker-dealer counterparties approved by the Counterparty Committee of the Adviser. The factors considered by the Counterparty Committee when selecting and approving brokers and dealers include, but are not limited to: (i) quality, accuracy, and timeliness of execution, (ii) review of the reputation, financial strength and stability of the financial institution, (iii) willingness and ability of the counterparty to commit capital, (iv) ongoing reliability and (v) access to underwritten offerings and secondary markets. The Counterparty Committee regularly reviews each broker-dealer counterparty based on the foregoing factors.
BGX may acquire Loans through assignments or participations. BGX typically acquires these Loans through assignment, and if BGX acquires a Loan through participation, it will seek to elevate a participation interest into an assignment as soon as practicably possible. The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation; however, the purchaser’s rights can be more restricted than those of the assigning institution, and BGX may not be able to unilaterally enforce all rights and remedies under the Loan and with regard to any associated collateral. A participation typically results in a contractual relationship only with the institution participating out the interest, not with the Borrower. Sellers of participations typically include banks, broker-dealers, other financial institutions and lending institutions. The Adviser has adopted best execution procedures and guidelines to mitigate credit and counterparty risk in the atypical situation when BGX must acquire a Loan through a participation.
BGX has invested in CLO securities. A CLO is a financing company (generally called a Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”)), created to reapportion the risk and return characteristics of a pool of assets. While the assets underlying a CLO are typically Secured Loans, the assets may also include (i) unsecured loans, (ii) debt securities that are rated below investment grade, and (iii) equity securities incidental to investments in Secured Loans. When investing in CLOs, the Fund will not invest in equity tranches, which are the lowest tranche. However, the Fund may invest in lower tranches of CLO debt securities, which typically experience a lower recovery, greater risk of loss or deferral or non-payment of interest than more senior debt tranches of the CLO. In addition, the Fund intends to invest in CLOs consisting primarily of individual Secured Loans of Borrowers and not repackaged CLO obligations from other high risk pools. The underlying Secured Loans purchased by CLOs are generally performing at the time of purchase but may become non-performing, distressed or defaulted. CLOs with underlying assets of non-performing, distressed or defaulted loans are not contemplated to comprise a significant portion of the Fund’s investments in CLOs. The key feature of the CLO structure is the prioritization of the cash flows from a pool of debt securities among the several classes of the CLO. The SPV is a company founded solely for the purpose of securitizing payment claims arising out of this diversified asset pool. On this basis, marketable securities are issued by the SPV which, due to the diversification of the underlying risk, generally represent a lower level of risk than the original assets. The redemption of the securities issued by the SPV typically takes place on a date earlier than legal maturity from refinancing of the senior debt tranches.
NOTE 4. LEVERAGE
The Fund entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a bank to borrow money pursuant to a revolving line of credit (“Leverage Facility”) dated July 29, 2014, as amended on January 26, 2015, July 28, 2015, July 26, 2016, July 25, 2017, and February 23, 2018 and as further amended and restated on June 20, 2018, and as further amended and restated on July 25, 2019 and as amended on July 23, 2020 to borrow up to a limit of $122 million, with $41 million for tranche A loans (“Tranche A Loans”) and $81 million for tranche B loans (“Tranche B Loans”). Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by the assets of the Fund. Interest is charged at a rate of 0.95% above LIBOR for Tranche A Loans, 1.15% above LIBOR for one (1) month interest period Tranche B Loans and 1.00% above LIBOR for three (3), six (6) and nine (9) months interest periods Tranche B Loans, with LIBOR measured for the period commencing on the date of the making of such LIBOR Loan (or the last date upon which any other Loan was converted to, or continued as, such LIBOR Loan) and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that is one (1), three (3), six (6) or nine (9) months thereafter, as the Fund may elect, or such other periods as the lender may agree in its sole and absolute discretion. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund must pay a commitment fee on any undrawn amounts. The commitment fee payable for each of Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans is 0.15% on the undrawn amounts when drawn amounts exceed 75% of the relevant borrowing limit and 0.25% on the undrawn amounts at any other time. Interest and fees are generally payable quarterly. The Fund may elect to extend the Agreement for a further period with the consent of the lending bank. At September 30, 2020, BGX had borrowings outstanding under its Leverage Facility of $95,900,000, at an interest rate of 1.18%. Due to the short term nature of the Agreement, face value approximates fair value at September 30, 2020. This fair value is based on Level 2 inputs under the three-tier fair valuation hierarchy (see Note 2). For the period ended September 30, 2020 the average borrowings under BGX's Leverage Facility and the average interest rate were $93,290,146 and 1.84% respectively.
On July 27, 2016, BGX issued 20,000 Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares (“MRPS”) with an aggregate liquidation preference of $20,000,000, rated “AA” by Fitch Ratings, with Rating Watch Negative (RWN) designations as of September 30, 2020. BGX used the proceeds of the offering to make additional investments for BGX’s portfolio. The final redemption date of the MRPS is July 27, 2023. BGX makes quarterly dividend payments on the MRPS at an annual dividend rate of 3.61%.
Under the Agreement and the governing documents of the MRPS, the Fund has agreed to certain covenants and additional investment limitations while the leverage is outstanding. The Fund agreed to maintain asset coverage of three times over borrowings. Compliance with the investment restrictions and calculations are performed by the Fund’s custodian. As of September 30, 2020, the Fund was in compliance with all required investment limitations and asset coverage requirements related to its leverage.
The use of leverage by the Fund can create risks. Changes in the value of the Fund's portfolio, including securities bought with the proceeds of leverage, are borne entirely by the holders of common shares of the Fund. All costs and expenses related to any form of leverage used by the Fund are borne entirely by common shareholders. If there is a net decrease or increase in the value of the Fund’s investment portfolio, the leverage may decrease or increase, as the case may be, the NAV per common share to a greater extent than if the Fund did not utilize leverage. As of September 30, 2020, BGX’s leverage represented 38.86% of the Fund’s Managed Assets (with the borrowings under the Leverage Facility representing 32.15% of Managed Assets and the MRPS representing 6.71% of Managed Assets).
