Expense Support Agreement

On December 17, 2014, the Company and its Adviser entered into an Amended and Restated Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, to provide for additional limitations to situations in which the Company is required to reimburse its Adviser.




The following disclosure replaces the disclosure under "Distributions - Expense Support Agreement" beginning on page 49 of the Prospectus:

Expense Support Agreement
On December 17, 2014, we entered into an Amended and Restated Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Support Agreement”) with our Adviser, whereby our Adviser has agreed to reimburse us for operating expenses in an amount equal to the difference between distributions paid to our stockholders in each month less the sum of our net investment income, the net realized capital gains/losses, the unrealized losses and dividends and other distributions paid to us from our portfolio investments during such period (“Expense Support Reimbursement”). To the extent that no dividends or other distributions are paid to our stockholders in any given month, then the Expense Support Reimbursement for such month is equal to such amount necessary in order for available operating funds for the month to equal zero. Available operating funds is the sum of (i) our net investment income (minus any reimbursement payments payable to the Adviser), (ii) our net realized capital gains/losses plus unrealized losses and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of our portfolio investments. The terms of the Expense Support Agreement commenced with the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2014 and continue monthly thereafter until May 9, 2016, unless extended mutually by us and our Adviser. Any payments required to be made by our Adviser under the Expense Support Agreement for any month shall be paid by our Adviser to us in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds, and/or offsets against amounts otherwise due from us to our Adviser, only if (1) the sum of our net investment income, net capital gains/losses, unrealized losses and dividends and other distributions paid to us on account of our portfolio investments exceeds the distributions paid by us to our stockholders, (2) our “operating expense ratio” (as defined in the Expense Support Agreement) is equal to or less than our operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding amounts funded by our Adviser under the Expense Support Agreement were incurred, (3) our “annualized distribution rate” (as defined in the Expense Support Agreement) is equal to or greater than the annualized distribution rate at the time the corresponding amounts funded by our Adviser under the Expense Support Agreement were incurred, and (4) the amounts funded by our Adviser under the Expense Support Agreement were made not earlier than three years prior to the date of repayment. The purpose of the Expense Support Agreement is to avoid such distributions from us being characterized as returns of capital for U.S. GAAP purposes and to reduce operating expenses until we have raised sufficient capital to be able to absorb such expenses. For the year ended June 30, 2014, we recorded Expense Support Reimbursement of approximately $1.3 million on the statement of assets and liabilities and statement of operations. The following table provides information regarding liabilities incurred by the Adviser pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement for the year ended June 30, 2014. Dollar amounts are presented in thousands.

We may terminate the Expense Support Agreement at any time. Our Adviser may terminate the Expense Support Agreement at the end of, but not during, any monthly period. If we terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement, we will be required to repay our Adviser in full all expense support payments made by our Adviser within three years of the date of termination.
