Stone Point Credit Corporation

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

June 30, 2022

 

 

Note 1. Organization

 

Organization

 

Stone Point Credit Corporation (the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on September 8, 2020 with the name Stone Point Capital Credit LLC. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In connection with its election to be regulated as a BDC, the Company converted to a Delaware corporation, changed its name to Stone Point Credit Corporation, and commenced operations on December 1, 2020. In addition, for tax purposes, Stone Point Credit Corporation has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

The Company is managed by Stone Point Credit Adviser LLC (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is a Delaware limited liability company that is registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Subject to the supervision of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), the Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of the Company and provides the Company with investment advisory and management services. The Adviser is an affiliate of Stone Point Capital LLC (“Stone Point Capital” or together with its credit-focused affiliates, as applicable, “Stone Point Credit”), which is an alternative investment management platform specializing in investments within the global financial services industry and related sectors.

 

On June 11, 2021, the Company formed SPCC Funding I LLC (the “SPV”), a wholly-owned financing subsidiary, for the purpose of holding pledged investments as collateral under a financing facility.

 

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investment opportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns. The Company intends to invest primarily in senior secured or unsecured loans and, to a lesser extent, subordinated loans, mezzanine loans and equity-related securities including warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity, which may or may not be convertible into a portfolio company’s common equity.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, they may not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. U.S. 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 and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022.

 

15

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and the SPV. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All references made to the “Company,” “we,” and “us” herein include Stone Point Credit Corporation and the consolidated SPV. The Company is an investment company and, therefore, applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The functional currency of the Company is U.S. dollars.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

 

16

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consists of deposits in a money market account and demand deposits held at a custodian bank. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s deposits may, at times, exceed the insured limits under applicable law.  

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings (see Note 6) are deferred and amortized over the life of the corresponding facility. The Company records origination and other expenses related to its debt obligations as deferred financing costs. Deferred financing costs are presented on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a direct deduction from the debt liability.

 

Organizational and Offering Expenses

 

Organizational expenses are costs associated with the organization of the Company and are expensed as incurred. Offering expenses are costs associated with the offering of common shares of the Company and are capitalized as deferred offering expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferred offering expenses are amortized over a twelve-month period from incurrence.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code. So long as the Company maintains its tax treatment as a RIC, it generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains distributed to shareholders as dividends. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements as well as distribute each taxable year dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of the Company’s “investment company taxable income,” which is generally the Company’s net ordinary income plus the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. In order for the Company not to be subject to U.S. federal excise taxes, it must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (iii) any net ordinary income and capital gains in excess of capital losses for preceding years that were not distributed during such years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on this income.

 

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken while preparing its financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted later based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. There were no material uncertain income tax positions from inception through June 30, 2022. The Company’s federal and state tax returns for the prior two fiscal years remain open, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Distributions

 

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded as of the record date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board.

 

17

 

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

 

The Company has adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”), under which a Shareholder’s distributions would automatically be reinvested under the DRIP in additional whole and fractional Shares, unless the Shareholder “opts out” of the DRIP, thereby electing to receive cash dividends.

 

The Company uses newly issued shares of Common Stock to implement the DRIP. Shares of Common Stock are issued at a price per share equal to the most recent net asset value per share determined by the Board.

 

Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of additional shares of Common Stock generally will be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as Shareholders who elect not to reinvest distributions. Participation in the DRIP will not in any way reduce the amount of a Shareholder’s Capital Commitment.

 

18

 

Valuation of Portfolio Securities

 

Valuations of investments are approved in accordance with valuation policies and procedures established by the Board (“Valuation Policy”) at the end of each calendar quarter. In instances where there is no readily available market value, the Company’s investments are valued at fair value with the input of the Adviser’s Valuation Committee and an external, independent valuation firm that is retained to review the Company’s investments as needed. Investments for which market quotations are readily available may be priced by independent pricing services.

 

The Company’s investment portfolio is recorded at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Policy and, as a result, there is and will be uncertainty as to the value of the Company’s portfolio investments. Under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to carry its portfolio investments at market value or, if there is no readily available market value, at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Board. There is not a public market or active secondary market for many of the types of investments in privately held companies that the Company intends to hold and make. The Company’s investments may not be publicly traded or actively traded on a secondary market but, instead, may be traded on a privately negotiated over-the-counter secondary market for institutional investors, if at all. As a result, these investments are valued quarterly at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Policy approved by the Board.

 

The determination of fair value, and thus the amount of unrealized appreciation or depreciation the Company may recognize in any reporting period, is to a degree subjective, and the Adviser has a conflict of interest in making recommendations of fair value. The types of factors that may be considered in determining the fair values of the Company’s investments include the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded companies, discounted cash flow, current market interest rates, precedent transactions and other relevant factors. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, the valuations may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time due to changes in current market conditions. The determinations of fair value in accordance with the Valuation Policy approved by the Board may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market and market quotations existed for such investments. The Company’s net asset value could be adversely affected if the determinations regarding the fair value of the investments were materially higher than the values that the Company ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such investments.

 

Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act was recently adopted by the SEC and establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting Rule 2a-5 on the consolidated financial statements and intends to comply with Rule 2a-5’s requirements on or before the compliance date in September 2022.

 

Company Common Stock Share Valuation

 

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the net asset value per share of the outstanding shares of common stock is determined at least quarterly by dividing the value of total assets minus liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding.

 

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

 

The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $211,719, $326,204, $0, and $0 of realized gains, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $2,707,581 and $6,110,185 of unrealized losses and $2,669,026 and $2,910,367 of unrealized gains, respectively.

 

19

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”), which requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company follows a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, the Company includes variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Significant judgments are required in the application of the five-step model including; when determining whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company’s progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

Revenue from contracts with customers includes fee income (capital structuring, underwriting, and arranger fees). The Company earns underwriting and arranger fees in securities offerings in which the Company acts as an underwriter or arranger, such as initial public offerings, follow-on equity offerings, debt offerings, and convertible securities offerings. Fee revenue relating to underwriting and arranger commitments is recorded at the point in time when all significant items relating to the underwriting or arranger process has been completed and the amount of the underwriting or arranger revenue has been determined. This generally is the point at which all of the following have occurred: (i) the issuer’s registration statement has become effective with the SEC or the other offering documents are finalized; (ii) the Company has made a firm commitment for the purchase of securities from the issuer; (iii) the Company has been informed of the number of securities that it has been allotted; and (iv) the issuer obtains control and benefits of the offering; which generally occurs on trade date.

 

ASC Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, interest income and expense.

 

Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the contractual life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts, 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. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discounts are capitalized and the amounts are amortized into income using the effective interest method.

 

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. 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. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no investments were on non-accrual status.

 

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. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company earned dividend income of $62,500, $62,500, $0, and $0, respectively, that were included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest and dividend income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of the reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

 

Investment Advisory Agreement

 

Subject to the supervision of the Board and pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Adviser (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of the Company and provides the Company with investment advisory and management services. Among other things, the Adviser (i) determines the composition and allocation of the Company’s investment portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes therein and the manner of implementing such changes; (ii) identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments made by the Company; (iii) performs due diligence on prospective portfolio companies; (iv) executes, closes, services and monitors the Company’s investments; (v) determines the securities and other assets that the Company will purchase, retain or sell; (vi) arranges financings and borrowing facilities for the Company and (vii) provides the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its fund and (viii) to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, on the Company’s behalf, and in coordination with any sub-adviser and any administrator, provides significant managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the Company is required to provide such assistance under the 1940 Act, including utilizing appropriate personnel of the Adviser to, among other things, monitor the operations of the Company’s portfolio companies, participate in board and management meetings, consult with and advise officers of portfolio companies and provide other organizational and financial consultation. The Adviser’s services under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and the Adviser is generally free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its performance under the Investment Advisory Agreement is not adversely affected.

 

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser (i) a base management fee and (ii) an incentive fee as compensation for the investment advisory and management services it provides the Company thereunder.

 

Base Management Fee

 

The Company pays to the Adviser an asset-based fee (the “Management Fee”) for management services in an amount equal to an annual rate of 1.30% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) for the most recently completed calendar quarter payable quarterly in arrears. The Management Fee for any partial quarter is appropriately prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed during such partial quarter as a fraction of the number of days in the relevant calendar year. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred management fees of $4,382,884, $8,231,694, $787,528, and $1,075,353, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded base management fees payable of $4,382,884 and $2,819,269, respectively.

Incentive Fee

 

Beginning on the fourth anniversary of the date on which shareholders are required to fund their initial drawdown (the “Incentive Commencement Date”), the Company will pay the Adviser an incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”) as set forth below. The Incentive Fee will consist of two parts. The first part (the “Investment Income Incentive Fee”) will be calculated and payable following the Incentive Commencement Date on a quarterly basis, in arrears, and will equal 15% of “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a quarterly preferred return of 1.75% (i.e., 7% annualized) measured on a quarterly basis. For purposes of computing the initial installment of the Investment Income Incentive Fee, if the Incentive Commencement Date does not fall on the first day of a calendar quarter, then the initial payment of the Investment Income Incentive Fee shall be payable for the period that commences on the Incentive Commencement Date through the last day of the first complete calendar quarter immediately following the Incentive Commencement Date and, thereafter, at the end of each subsequent calendar quarter as described above. The second part (the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee”) will be an annual fee that will also commence with the period beginning on the Incentive Commencement Date and will be determined and payable following the Incentive Commencement Date, in arrears, as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement) in an amount equal to 15% of realized capital gains, if any, determined on a cumulative basis from the Incentive Commencement Date (based on the fair market value of each investment as of such date) through the end of such calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement), computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis from the Incentive Commencement Date (based on the fair market value of each investment as of such date) through the end of such calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gains Incentive Fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not incur any performance-based incentive fees.

 

Administration Agreement

 

The Adviser also serves as the administrator of the Company (in such capacity, the “Administrator”). Subject to the supervision of the Board, the Administrator provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate and the Company utilizes the Administrator’s office facilities, equipment and recordkeeping services. The Company reimburses the Administrator for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator in providing these services, facilities and personnel, as provided by the administration agreement by and between the Company and the Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”). In addition, the Administrator is permitted to delegate its duties under the Administration Agreement to affiliates or third parties, and the Company reimburses the expenses of these parties incurred directly and/or paid by the Administrator on the Company’s behalf.

 

24

 

 

The Company reimburses the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including furnishing the Company with office facilities, equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services at such facilities, as well as providing the Company with other administrative services. In addition, the Company reimburses the Administrator for the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions, and the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of certain of the Company’s officers, including the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and any support staff. The Adviser can waive any amounts owed to it under the Administration Agreement, at its discretion.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $216,500, $361,618, $116,548, and $233,095 of administrative overhead expenses that were included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as professional fees, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $216,500 and $147,102, respectively, of administrative overhead expenses remained payable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as accounts payable and accrued expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Administrator has elected to waive additional charges that would have otherwise been eligible for reimbursement under the terms of the Administration Agreement which are not subject to recoupment.

 

Sub-Administration and Custodian Fees

 

On January 22, 2021, the Adviser entered into a sub-administration agreement with U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (the “Sub-Administrator”) under which the Sub-Administrator provides various accounting and other administrative services with respect to the Company. The Company pays the Sub-Administrator fees for services the Adviser determines are commercially reasonable in its sole discretion. The Company also reimburses the Sub-Administrator for all reasonable expenses. To the extent that the Sub-Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Sub-Administrator pays any compensation associated with such functions. The Sub-Administrator also serves as the Company’s custodian (the “Custodian”).

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred expenses for services provided by the Sub-Administrator and the Custodian of $238,353, $519,306, $61,120, and $106,114 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as professional fees, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $689,781 and $114,705, respectively, remained payable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Transfer Agent Fees

 

On December 1, 2020, the Company entered into a transfer agent servicing agreement with U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (the “Transfer Agent”). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred expenses for services provided by the Transfer Agent of $20,000, $42,890, $16,665, and $29,165 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as professional fees, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $58,274 and $15,834, respectively, remained payable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Affiliated Broker-Dealer

 

The Adviser is an affiliate of SPC Capital Markets LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Affiliated Broker-Dealer”), which is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. The Affiliated Broker-Dealer is authorized to engage in the following activities: (i) acting as broker or dealer selling corporate debt securities, (ii) acting as firm commitment underwriter, (iii) acting as real estate syndicator, (iv) investment advisory services (incidental to its role as broker-dealer), including acting as financial advisor to issuers of securities, and participants in mergers, acquisitions, sales, and dispositions of companies, and (v) private placements of securities. The Company paid the Affiliated Broker-Dealer a fee of $1,125,000 for services provided by the Affiliated Broker-Dealer in connection with the closing of the 2025 Notes. The Affiliated Broker Dealer may receive fees from other investors and portfolio companies in which the Company invests but will not collect fees from the Company for its portfolio investments.

 

25

 

To the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the Affiliated Broker-Dealer may, among other assignments, arrange, structure, and/or place equity and debt securities to be issued by portfolio companies of the Company on a best efforts or firm commitment basis. These placements may from time to time include structuring of offerings, and placement of securities in public offerings of securities issued by portfolio companies of the Company. The Affiliated Broker-Dealer may act as a firm commitment underwriter (co-manager only) in public and private offerings of securities issued by portfolio companies of the Company. In certain limited circumstances, the Company may have a conflict resulting from the foregoing arrangements. When the Affiliated Broker-Dealer serves as underwriter with respect to the securities of a subsidiary of the Company, the Company may be subject to a “lock-up” period following the offering under applicable regulations or agreements during which time its ability to sell any securities that it continues to hold is restricted. This restriction may prevent the Company from disposing of such securities at an opportune time. To the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the Company may make investments from time to time in transactions where the Affiliated Broker-Dealer is acting as agent, broker, principal, arranger or syndicate manager or member on the other side of the transaction or for other parties in the transaction. The consent of the Board may be required to enter into certain of the Company’s potential investments and the failure of the Board to grant such consent would prevent the Company from consummating such investments, which could adversely affect the Company.

 

Co-Investment Exemptive Relief

 

The 1940 Act generally prohibits BDCs from entering into negotiated co-investments with affiliates absent an order from the SEC. On June 14, 2022, the SEC granted the Company exemptive relief (the “Order”) that permits the Company to co-invest alongside other funds managed by the Adviser or certain of its affiliates, if, among other things, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Company’s Independent Directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including, but not limited to, that (1) the terms of the potential co-investment transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and Shareholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the Company or Shareholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the potential co-investment transaction is consistent with the interests of Shareholders and is consistent with the Company’s then-current investment objective and strategies. The Order provides that, in connection with any co-investment transaction, the Company may participate in any such co-investment transaction on terms that are same to those applicable to the other funds managed by, or certain entities affiliated with, the Adviser or certain of its affiliates. To the extent an investment by such other fund or entity, as applicable, in an applicable co-investment opportunity is based on favorable terms, the Company will benefit from investing in such co-investment opportunity based on such favorable terms. In addition, the Order provides that, in connection with any such co-investment transaction, the Company will receive its pro rata share of any transaction fees (including break-up, structuring, monitoring or commitment fees but excluding brokerage or underwriting compensation permitted by section 17(e) or 57(k) of the Company Act), in respect of such co-investment transaction, based on the Company’s relative share of the amount invested or committed, as applicable, in such transaction.

Note 4. Offering and Organizational Expenses

 

The Company has and may continue to bear expenses relating to its organization and offering of its common stock, including the listing of its common stock on a national securities exchange. Organizational expenses include, without limitation, the cost of incorporation, including legal fees related to the creation and organization of the Company, its related documents of organization and its election to be regulated as a BDC. Offering expenses include, without limitation, legal, accounting, printing and other offering costs including those associated with the preparation of a registration statement in connection with any offering of common stock.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred offering costs of $24,301, $44,358, $97,110, and $193,139 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company did not incur any organizational expenses. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $0 and $41,057, respectively, remained payable on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as organizational and offering expenses payable.

 

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

 

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with the Company’s portfolio companies. The Company and the Adviser are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

The unrealized appreciation or depreciation associated with unfunded portfolio company commitments is recorded in the financial statements and reflected as an adjustment to the valuation of the related security in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The par amount of the unfunded portfolio company commitments is not recognized by the Company until the commitment is funded.

 

The credit agreements of the unfunded portfolio company commitments contain customary lending provisions which are subject to the portfolio company’s achievement of certain milestones. In instances where the underlying company experiences material adverse effects that would impact the financial condition or business outlook of the company, there is relief to the Company from funding obligations for previously made commitments. Unfunded portfolio company commitments may expire without being drawn upon, and therefore, do not necessarily represent future cash requirements or future earning assets for the Company. We believe that we maintain sufficient liquidity in the form of cash, financing capacity and undrawn capital commitments from our investors to cover any outstanding unfunded portfolio company commitments we may be required to fund.

 

Note 6. Borrowings

 

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limitations, BDCs are allowed to borrow amounts such that their asset coverage ratios, as defined in the 1940 Act, are at least 200% (or 150% if certain conditions are met) after such borrowing. As a result of complying with the requirements set forth in the Small Business Credit Availability Act, the Company is able to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage ratio is at least 150%, rather than 200%. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s asset coverage ratios were 186% and 186%, respectively.

Capital Call Facility

 

Effective as of December 29, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Capital Call Facility”) by and among, inter alios, the Company as the initial borrower, the lenders from time-to-time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and Capital One, National Association, as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), sole lead arranger and a Lender. On December 28, 2021, the Company executed an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Capital Call Facility (collectively, the “Capital Call Facility”).

 

The Capital Call Facility provides for a maximum commitment of up to $200,000,000 for a period of up to two years (including extension terms) from the Closing Date subject to the terms set forth in the Capital Call Facility. Under the Capital Call Facility, an unused commitment fee at the rate of 0.35% per annum on the unused portion of the commitment of the Lenders is payable by the Company to the Administrative Agent.

 

The proceeds of the loans under the Capital Call Facility may be used to acquire portfolio investments and such other uses as permitted under the Capital Call Facility. At the Company’s option, the Capital Call Facility will accrue interest at a rate per annum based on (i) an daily simple SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.85% or (ii) the greatest of (1) the prime rate or (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% plus an applicable margin of 0.75%.

 

The maturity date is the earliest of: (a) December 28, 2022; (b) the date upon which the Administrative Agent declares the Company’s obligations under the Capital Call Facility (the “Obligations”) due and payable after the occurrence of an event of default under the Capital Call Facility; (c) 45 days prior to the termination of the Company’s Operative Documents (as defined in the Capital Call Facility); (d) 45 days prior to the date on which the Company’s ability to call capital commitments for the purpose of repaying the Obligations is terminated, and (e) the date upon which the Company terminates the commitments of the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Capital Call Facility or otherwise.

Revolving Credit Facility

 

On June 28, 2021, the SPV entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPM”). JPM serves as administrative agent and lender, U.S. Bank, National Association, serves as collateral agent, securities intermediary and collateral administrator, and Stone Point Credit Adviser LLC serves as portfolio manager under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to: (a) for advances denominated in USD, the three-month London interbank offered rate, (b) for advances denominated in CAD, the average rate applicable to CAD bankers’ acceptances for a three-month period, (c) for advances denominated in GBP, the daily simple Sterling Overnight Index Average for each day, (d) for advances denominated in AUD, the three-month average bid reference rate administered by the Australian Financial Markets Association for Australian dollar bills, and (e) for advances denominated in Euros, the three-month Euro interbank offered rate, in each case, in effect, plus the applicable margin of 2.45% per annum (or, for advances denominated in GBP, 2.5693% per annum). The SPV paid and will pay, as applicable, a commitment fee of (x) initially, to but excluding September 28, 2021, 0.25% per annum, (y) from and including September 28, 2021 to but excluding the first anniversary of the Revolving Credit Facility, 0.50% per annum, and (z) from and including the first anniversary of the Revolving Credit Facility, 0.60% per annum, in each case, on the average daily unused amount of the financing commitments until the third anniversary of the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

On October 15, 2021, the SPV executed a letter agreement (the “Amendment”) to amend the Revolving Credit Facility. The Amendment increases the maximum borrowing capacity of the SPV under the Revolving Credit Facility between the SPV and JPM to $500 million from $250 million in accordance with the accordion feature in the Revolving Credit Facility that allows the SPV, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the Revolving Credit Facility to an amount not to exceed $750 million in aggregate. The other material terms of the Revolving Credit Facility were unchanged (See Note 14 – Subsequent Events). All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility must be repaid by June 28, 2026.

 

On January 28, 2022, the SPV executed a letter agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to amend the Revolving Credit Facility. The Second Amendment increases the maximum borrowing capacity of the SPV under the Revolving Credit Facility by $250 million (the “Commitment Increase”) to an aggregate of $750 million from its previous $500 million borrowing capacity. The Second Amendment also (a) adds an accordion feature in the Revolving Credit Facility that allows the SPV, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the Revolving Credit Facility by an additional $250 million (the “Accordion”) to an amount not to exceed $1 billion in the aggregate and (b) establishes a new tranche consisting of the Commitment Increase and the Accordion, whereby any new advances made under such tranche bear interest at a per annum rate equal to Term SOFR for a three-month tenor in effect, plus the applicable margin of 2.55% per annum.

 

The SPV’s obligations to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the SPV’s portfolio of investments and cash. The obligations of the SPV under the Revolving Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company, and the Company’s exposure under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in the SPV.

 

In connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, the SPV made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including if a change of control of the SPV occurs. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility immediately due and payable.

 

The occurrence of an event of default (as described above) or a Market Value Event (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) triggers a requirement that the SPV obtain the consent of JPM prior to entering into any sale or disposition with respect to portfolio assets, and the occurrence of a market value event triggers the right of JPM to direct the SPV to enter into sales or dispositions with respect to any portfolio assets, in each case in JPM’s sole discretion.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Revolving Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $603,500,000 and $435,000,000, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities net of unamortized financing costs, which results in an outstanding balance, totaling $596,844,287 as of June 30, 2022 and $430,085,807 as of December 31, 2021.

2025 Notes

 

On May 19, 2022, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA”) governing the issuance of $225 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due May 19, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) to qualified institutional investors in a private placement. $150 million of the 2025 Notes were delivered and paid for on May 19, 2022, and $75 million of the 2025 Notes are expected to be delivered and paid for on August 18, 2022.

 

The 2025 Notes have a fixed interest rate of 5.83% per year, subject to a step up of (1) 1.00% per year, to the extent and for so long as the 2025 Notes fail to satisfy certain investment grade rating conditions and/or (2) 1.50% per year, to the extent and for so long as either the ratio of the Company’s secured debt to total assets exceeds specified thresholds, measured as of each fiscal quarter-end, or the Company fails to deliver the required quarterly or annual financial statements and related certificates when due.

 

The 2025 Notes mature on May 19, 2025 unless redeemed, purchased or prepaid prior to such date by the Company in accordance with the terms of the NPA. Interest on the 2025 Notes is due semiannually in May and November of each year, beginning in November 2022. In addition, the Company is obligated to offer to repay the 2025 Notes at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of prepayment) if certain change in control events occur. Subject to the terms of the NPA, the Company may redeem the 2025 Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company’s option at par plus accrued interest to the prepayment date and, if redeemed on or before February 17, 2025, a make-whole premium.

Note 9. Fair Value of Investments

 

Under ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller at the measurement date. For the Company’s portfolio securities, fair value is generally the amount that the Company might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of the security. The fair value measurement assumes that the sale occurs in the principal market for the security, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the security. If no market for the security exists or if the Company does not have access to the principal market, the security should be valued based on the sale occurring in a hypothetical market.

 

33

 

ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:

 

Level 1 Inputs – include quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 Inputs – include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 Inputs – include inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

A financial instrument is categorized within the ASC Topic 820 valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input to the valuation process that is significant to the fair value measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, unrealized appreciation and depreciation related to such investments categorized as Level 3 investments within the tables below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3). Transfers between levels, if any, will be recognized at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred.

 

The Company’s investment portfolio will include certain debt and equity instruments of privately held companies for which quoted prices or other inputs falling within the categories of Level 1 and Level 2 are generally not available. In such cases, the Company determines the fair value of the Company’s investments in good faith primarily using Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, quoted prices or other observable inputs exist, and if so, the Company assesses the appropriateness of the use of these third-party quotes in determining fair value based on (i) the Company’s understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer and (ii) the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with underlying performance of the portfolio company.

 

There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith, as fair value depends upon the specific circumstances of each individual investment. The recorded fair values of the Company’s Level 3 investments may differ significantly from fair values that would have been used had an active market for the securities existed. 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 valuations currently assigned.

 

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2022.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

 

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), basic and diluted net increase in net assets resulting from operations per common share is computed by dividing the net increase in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The methodology for the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period utilizes the weighted average number of shares from December 31, 2021 through June 30, 2022. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no dilutive shares.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Note 11. Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be treated and intends to qualify annually as a regulated investment company, to distribute substantially all of its income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Company intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax. The Company did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits.

 

37

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a Return of Capital Statement of Position (“ROCSOP”) adjustment for permanent book to tax differences of $364,788 primarily due to the differing book and tax treatment of offering costs.

 

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the tax cost of the Company’s investments approximates its amortized cost.

1 The per common share data was derived by using weighted average shares outstanding.
2 The amount shown at this caption is the balancing amount derived from the other figures in the schedule. The amount shown at this caption for a share outstanding throughout the year/period does not agree with the change in the aggregate appreciation and depreciation in portfolio securities for the period because of the timing of sales of the Company’s shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio.
3 Total return is based upon the change in net asset value per share between the opening and ending net asset values per share. Total return is not annualized and does not include a sales load.
4 The ratios reflect an annualized amount. Non-recurring expenses were not annualized. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $44,358 and $193,139 of Organizational and Offering Expenses, respectively, which were deemed to be non-recurring.

Item 2.                   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless indicated otherwise, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Stone Point Credit Corporation, and the “Adviser” refers to Stone Point Credit Adviser LLC, an affiliate of Stone Point Capital LLC (“Stone Point Capital”) (together with the Adviser and their other affiliates, collectively, “Stone Point”).

 

COVID-19 Developments

 

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and associated impacts on the U.S. and global economies, has negatively impacted, and is likely to continue to negatively impact, the business operations of some of our portfolio companies. We cannot at this time fully predict the impact of COVID-19 on our business or the business of our portfolio companies, its duration or magnitude or the extent to which it will negatively impact our portfolio companies’ operating results or our own results of operations or financial condition.

 

We will continue to carefully monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the business of our portfolio companies.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 8, 2020. The Company has elected to be treated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes. As such, we are required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in “qualifying assets,” source of income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income and tax-exempt interest.

 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has called equity capital in the amount of $685 million. See “Subscriptions and Drawdowns” under “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further details. Management anticipates calling additional equity capital for investment purposes through drawdowns in respect of capital commitments made by investors pursuant to Private Offerings.

 

Investment Objective and Strategy

 

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investment opportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns. The Company seeks to invest primarily in senior secured or unsecured loans and, to a lesser extent, subordinated loans, mezzanine loans and equity-related securities including warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity, which may or may not be convertible into a portfolio company’s common equity.

 

39

 

The Company generally expects to invest in middle market companies with earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, or “EBITDA,” between $30 million and $250 million annually. Typical middle market senior loans may be issued by middle market companies in the context of leveraged buyouts, acquisitions, debt refinancings, recapitalizations, and other similar transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser may determine whether companies qualify as “middle market” in its sole discretion, and the Company may from time to time invest in larger or smaller companies if an attractive opportunity presents itself, especially when there are dislocations in the capital markets, including the high yield and syndicated loan markets. The Company’s target credit investments typically have maturities between 3 and 6 years and generally range in size between $20 million and $100 million. The investment size will vary with the size of the Company’s capital base. The Company has adopted a non-fundamental policy to invest, under normal market conditions, at least 75% of the value of its total assets (measured at the time of each such investment taking into account certain initial assumptions regarding the expected amount of total assets of the Company once fully invested) in portfolio companies that are in the financial services, business services, software and technology or healthcare services sectors. The remaining 25% of the value of the Company’s total assets (measured at the time of each such investment taking into account certain initial assumptions regarding the expected amount of total assets of the Company once fully invested) may be invested across a wide range of sectors (although the Company expects to avoid businesses which at the time of the Company’s investment participate in certain sectors such as payday lending, pawn shops, automobile title and tax refund anticipation loans, credit repair services, strip mining, drug paraphernalia, marijuana related businesses, tax evasion gaming and pornography).

 

Market Opportunity and Competitive Advantages

 

The Adviser believes the Company presents an attractive investment opportunity for several reasons:

 

Increasing Demand for Debt Capital. Private equity sponsors have unprecedented levels of capital available for investment, which the Adviser believes will continue to drive demand for direct lending over the coming years as private equity firms seek to deploy capital through leveraged buyouts. The Company believes this dynamic, coupled with the Adviser’s strong relationships in the middle market, will provide significant investment opportunities for the Company.

 

Proactive Sourcing and Relationship-Driven Deal Flow. The Adviser believes that focusing its activities on proactive, outbound, multi-year searches produces higher quality investment opportunities. The Adviser seeks investment opportunities in sectors that it believes are attractive using a focused three-prong origination strategy. In sourcing investments for the Company, the Adviser leverages (i) its dedicated team of origination professionals and Stone Point’s broker-dealer professionals focusing on sponsor communities and financial intermediaries within targeted sectors, (ii) its extensive network of private equity investment professionals, focused on more than 70 financial services-related end markets, and (iii) its longstanding relationships with commercial banks who may provide investment opportunities to the Company.

 

Disciplined Underwriting Process. The Adviser seeks investment opportunities that it believes are attractive using a rigorous “top-down” and “bottom-up” process. The Adviser regularly evaluates and selects sectors on which to focus based on an investment thesis (top-down approach) and designates a team of investment professionals to identify leading companies and managers in these sectors (bottom-up approach). For more than 70 identified sectors of the financial services industry, this process includes:

 

  · Firm-wide discussions to prioritize the identified sectors

 

  · Dedicating small teams of investment professionals to study these sectors

 

  · Interaction with industry experts and attendance at key industry conferences

 

  · Proactive outbound calling efforts and meetings with private equity sponsors and management teams

 

The Adviser employs a “triangulation” approach in evaluating the quality of a credit, focused on borrower characteristics, loan structure and quality of sponsorship. The Adviser generally seeks to invest in companies that are led by experienced management teams, have market-leading positions and high barriers to entry, and generate predictable free cash flow across market cycles. In structuring a loan, the Adviser is generally focused on determining appropriate leverage levels (with a significant focus on adjustments and free cash flow), ensuring sufficient minimum sponsor equity and seeking to mitigate downside risk through structural protections. Finally, the Adviser seeks to invest in companies with strong financial sponsor ownership, focused on underwriting a sponsor’s ability to support the borrower.

 

Sector Focus. The Company makes its investments primarily in sectors in which Stone Point has developed a longstanding network and can leverage real-time insights from private portfolio companies to provide a discernible origination and underwriting edge. The Adviser currently focuses the Company’s investments in the financial services, business services, software and technology, and healthcare services sectors. As a result of this specialization by the investment team at the Adviser, the Adviser believes that it is well positioned to source proprietary deals and evaluate a broad range of investments with a deep understanding of the market dynamics and cycles for these sectors.

 

Further, the Adviser believes the Company’s focus on the financial services, business services, software and technology, and healthcare services sectors provides strong downside protection, given the low default rates in these industries, as well as Stone Point’s investment experience. The Company’s targeted sectors have performed well across market cycles, consistently generating lower cumulative default rates compared with non-financial sectors, which should contribute to enhanced risk-adjusted returns.

 

40

 

Ability to Leverage Stone Point’s Experienced Investment Team. The Adviser intends to utilize Stone Point Capital’s significant resources and expertise throughout the life cycle of each investment to support the Stone Point Credit Investment Team’s Credit Activities. On an as-needed basis, certain other investment professionals contribute a portion of their time, effort and expertise to support Credit Activities. Stone Point Capital has a long, successful record of making investments and managing businesses in the financial services industry. Stone Point Capital has raised nine private equity funds with an investment track record of over 25 years and a focus on investments in companies in the global financial services industry and related sectors. Stone Point Capital and its affiliates have invested in 26 asset management platforms over 15 years and Stone Point believes that its experience investing in and building businesses across a variety of credit strategies, positions the Company for success in the direct lending middle market. The Stone Point Credit Investment Team is responsible for making all investment and disposition recommendations to the Investment Committee. The Investment Committee makes all investment and disposition decisions, subject to Board oversight. As of August 1, 2022, the Investment Team is comprised of approximately 80 investment professionals who bring to Stone Point considerable experience with Stone Point and/or from other leading private equity, private debt, investment banking, financial services, corporate law, and accounting firms. A majority of the Investment Team is focused in the private equity markets; however, Stone Point intends to continue to expand the dedicated Stone Point Credit Investment Team to support the ongoing growth of the Company and expansion of the Credit Activities. As of August 1, 2022, the Credit Investment Team was comprised of approximately 15 dedicated investment professionals2.

 

Experienced Investment Committee3. The Investment Committee for the Adviser is comprised of Scott J. Bronner, James D. Carey, Eric L. Rosenzweig, David J. Wermuth and Nicolas D. Zerbib. The Investment Committee currently leads the investment activities of the Credit Funds and has worked together at Stone Point for more than ten years investing across multiple credit cycles and different investing environments.

Key Components of Operations

 

Investments

 

Our level of investment activity can and will vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.

 

As a BDC, the Company must invest at least 70% of its assets in “qualifying assets,” which may include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Under the relevant SEC rules, the term “eligible portfolio company” includes all U.S. private operating companies and small U.S. public operating companies with a market capitalization of less than $250 million.

 

As a BDC, we may also invest up to 30% of our portfolio opportunistically in “non-qualifying” portfolio investments, such as investments in non-U.S. companies.

 

Revenues

 

The Company expects to generate revenues primarily through receipt of interest and dividend income from its investments. In addition, the Company may generate income from capital gains on the sales of loans and debt and equity related securities and various loan origination and other fees and dividends on direct equity investments.

 

Expenses

 

The Company’s day-to-day investment operations are managed by the Adviser, and services necessary for the Company’s business, including the origination and administration of its investment portfolio, are provided by individuals who are employees of the Adviser, Administrator, and Sub-Administrator, pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Administration Agreement, and Sub-Administration Agreement. The Company will reimburse the Administrator for its allocable portion of expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including its allocable portion of the cost of certain of the Company’s officers and their respective staff, and the Adviser for certain expenses under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Company bears its allocable portion of the compensation paid by Stone Point to the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staff (based on a percentage of time such individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the Company’s business affairs). The Company bears all other costs and expenses of the Company’s operations, administration and transactions, including, but not limited to (i) investment advisory fees, including management fees and incentive fees, to the Adviser, pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Company’s allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, (iii) fees for services rendered by the Sub-Administrator that the Adviser determines are commercially reasonably; and (iv) all other expenses of its operations and transactions including, without limitation, those relating to:

 

  · the cost of calculating the Company’s net asset value, including the cost of any third-party valuation services;

 

42

 

  · the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of the Common Stock and other securities, including, as otherwise noted below, in connection with the Private Offering;

 

  · fees payable to third parties relating to making investments, including the Adviser’s or its affiliates’ travel expenses, research costs and out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence and reviews of prospective investments;

 

  · interest expense and other costs associated with the Company’s indebtedness;

 

  · transfer agent, dividend reinvestment plan administrator, sub-administrator and custodial fees;

 

  · out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;

 

  · federal and state registration fees and any stock exchange listing fees;

 

  · U.S. federal, state and local taxes;

 

  · Independent Directors’ fees and expenses;

 

  · brokerage commissions and markups;

 

  · fidelity bond, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and other insurance premiums;

 

  · direct costs, such as printing, mailing, long distance telephone and staff;

 

  · fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs;

 

  · costs associated with the Company’s reporting and compliance obligations U.S. federal and state securities laws, including, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the 1940 Act; and

 

  · other expenses incurred by the Administrator or the Company in connection with administering the Company’s business, including payments under the Administration Agreement that will be based upon the Company’s allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of the Board) of overhead.

 

The Adviser can waive any amounts owed to it under the Administration Agreement, at its discretion. From time to time, the Adviser or its affiliates may pay third-party providers of goods or services. The Company will subsequently reimburse the Adviser for such amounts paid on the Company’s behalf. The Adviser has agreed to bear the aggregate organizational and offering costs in connection with the Private Offering in excess of $1,250,000.

 

The Company has entered into credit facilities to partially fund the Company’s operations, and may incur costs and expenses including commitment, origination, legal and/or structuring fees and the related interest costs associated with any amounts borrowed. See “Financing Facilities” under “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further details.

 

The Company has had little operating history and therefore this statement concerning additional expenses is necessarily an estimate and may not match the Company’s actual results of operations in the future.

 

43

 

 

Leverage

 

The amount of leverage that the Company employs will depend on the Adviser’s and the Board’s assessment of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limitations, BDCs are allowed to borrow amounts such that their asset coverage ratios, as defined in the 1940 Act, are at least 200% (or 150% if certain conditions are met) after such borrowing. As a result of complying with the requirements set forth in the Small Business Credit Availability Act, the Company is able to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage ratio is at least 150%, rather than 200%. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s asset coverage ratio was 186% and 186%, respectively.

 

In any period, our interest expense will depend largely on the extent of our borrowing and we expect interest expense will increase as we increase our leverage over time within the limits of the 1940 Act. In addition, we may dedicate assets or capital commitments as collateral to financing facilities.

Our Adviser monitors our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. The Adviser believes that actively managing an investment allows it to identify problems early and work with companies to develop constructive solutions when necessary. The Adviser will monitor our portfolio with a focus toward anticipating negative credit events. In seeking to maintain portfolio company performance and help to ensure a successful exit, the Adviser will work closely with, as applicable, the lead equity sponsor, portfolio company management, consultants, advisers and other security holders to discuss financial position, compliance with covenants, financial requirements and execution of the company’s business plan. In addition, the Adviser’s personnel may occupy a seat or serve as an observer on a portfolio company’s board of directors or similar governing body.

 

Typically, the Adviser receives financial reports detailing operating performance, sales volumes, margins, cash flows, financial position and other key operating metrics on a quarterly basis from portfolio companies. The Adviser will use this data, combined with the knowledge gained through due diligence of the company’s customers, suppliers, competitors, market research and other methods, to conduct an ongoing assessment of the company’s operating performance and prospects.

 

As part of the monitoring process, the Adviser rates the risk of all portfolio investments on a scale of 1 to 5, no less frequently than quarterly. This internal performance rating is primarily intended to assess the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to such investments’ cost taking into account the performance of the portfolio company’s business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. The Adviser’s internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized rating organization or reflect any third-party assessment. The Adviser’s internal performance rating scale is as follows:

 

Investment
Performance
Rating
  Description
1  The portfolio company is performing above expectations, and the business trends and risk factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable.
2  The portfolio company is generally performing as expected and the risk factors are neutral to favorable. All investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a rating of 2.
3  The portfolio company is performing below expectations and the investment’s risk has increased somewhat since origination or acquisition. For debt investments rated 3, the portfolio company could be out of compliance with debt covenants; however, loan payments are generally not past due.
4  The portfolio company is performing materially below expectations and indicates that the investment’s risk has increased materially since origination or acquisition. For debt investments rated 4, in addition to the portfolio company being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due.
5  The portfolio company is performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the investment’s risk has increased substantially since origination or acquisition. For debt investments rated 5, most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. It is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss upon exit of the investment.

 

It is possible that the rating of a portfolio investment may change over time. For investments rated 3, 4 or 5, the Adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company.

 

The following table shows the composition of our portfolio investments on the Adviser’s internal performance rating scale:

 

   June 30, 2022 
Investment Rating  Fair Value   Percentage
of Portfolio
 
1  $130,269,354    9.0%
2   1,283,105,916    88.1%

Total   $1,454,409,711    100.0%  $1,156,985,986    100.0%

 

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. 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.

Under the Administration Agreement, we will reimburse the Administrator for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred for services performed for us. In addition, the Administrator is permitted to delegate its duties under the Administration Agreement to affiliates or third parties, and we will reimburse the expenses of these parties incurred directly and/or paid by the Administrator on the Company’s behalf. The Adviser can waive any amounts owed to it under the Administration Agreement, at its discretion.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $216,500 and $361,618 of administrative overhead expenses, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Administrator has elected to waive additional charges that would have otherwise been eligible for reimbursement under the terms of the Administration Agreement which are not subject to recoupment.

 

Income Taxes, Including Excise Taxes

 

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and we intend to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute to our shareholders in each taxable year generally at least 90% of the sum of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), and net tax-exempt income for that taxable year. To maintain our tax treatment as a RIC, we, among other things, intend to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders, which generally relieve us from corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes.

Hedging

 

In connection with certain portfolio investments, the Company may employ hedging techniques designed to reduce the risk of adverse movements in interest rates, securities prices and currency exchange rates. While such transactions may reduce certain risks, such transactions themselves may entail certain other risks. Thus, while the Company may benefit from the use of these hedging mechanisms, unanticipated changes in interest rates, securities prices, currency exchange rates and other factors may result in a poorer overall performance for the Company than if it had not entered into such hedging transactions. The successful utilization of hedging and risk management transactions requires skills that are separate from the skills used in selecting and monitoring investments. There were no hedging transactions through the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

This discussion of the Company’s operating plan is based upon the Company’s financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. In addition to the discussion below, the Company describes its critical accounting policies in the notes to the Company’s financial statements.

 

Valuation of Investments

 

The Company will measure the value of the Company’s investments in accordance with fair value accounting guidance promulgated under U.S. GAAP, which establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which ranks the observability inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. See the Notes to Financial Statements for a description of the hierarchy for fair value measurements and a description of the Company’s valuation procedures.

 

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

 

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Company will measure net realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation and depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records interest and dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest on loans and debt securities for accounting purposes if the Company has reason to doubt the Company’s ability to collect such interest. OIDs, market discounts or premiums are accreted or amortized over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method as interest income. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income.

 

54

 

Other Income

 

Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, syndication and prepayment fees associated with the Company’s investment activities as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered. The Company may receive fees for guaranteeing the outstanding debt of a portfolio company. Such fees are amortized into other income over the life of the guarantee.

 

Offering and Organizational Expenses

 

The Company has and will continue to bear expenses relating to the organization of the Company and this Private Offering and any subsequent offering of Common Stock, including an Exchange Listing. Organizational expenses include, without limitation, the cost of incorporation, including legal fees related to the creation and organization of the Company, its related documents of organization and its election to be regulated as a BDC. Offering expenses include, without limitation, legal, accounting, printing and other offering costs including those associated with the preparation of a registration statement in connection with any subsequent offering of Common Stock. The Adviser has agreed to bear the aggregate organizational and offering costs in connection with the Private Offering in excess of $1,250,000. Organizational costs to establish the Company are charged to expense as incurred. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs of organizing the Company. Offering costs in connection with the offering of common shares of the Company are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over 12 months beginning with the latter of either the commencement of operations or from incurrence. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred with the Company’s share offerings, the preparation of the Company’s registration statement, and registration fees.

 

U.S. Federal Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains distributed to shareholders. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must maintain an election under the 1940 Act to be regulated as a BDC, meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification requirements as well as distribute each taxable year dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally of an amount at least equal to 90% of the Company’s “investment company taxable income,” which is generally the Company’s net ordinary income plus the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid. See “Note 11. Taxes.”

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

The Company is subject to financial market risks, including valuation risk and interest rate risk.

 

Valuation Risk

 

The Company plans to invest primarily in illiquid debt securities of private companies. Most of the Company’s investments will not have a readily available market price, and the Company will value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board in accordance with the Company’s valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments the Company makes.

 

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 expect to fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is expected to be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, we can offer no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

 

As of June 30, 2022, 95.5% of our debt investments based on fair value were at floating rates. Our credit facilities, including our Capital Call Facility and Revolving Credit Facility, also bear interest at floating rates.

 

55

 

Based on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2022, the following table shows the approximate annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors and assuming no changes in our investment portfolio and borrowing structure):

 

   Change in 
Basis point change  Interest Income (1)   Interest Expense   Net Investment
Income (Loss)
 
300  $42,204,938   $(19,605,000)  $22,599,938 
200   28,118,721    (13,070,000)   15,048,721 
100   14,032,505    (6,535,000)   7,497,505 
(100)   (10,337,798)   6,007,982    (4,329,816)
(200)   (12,994,294)   6,152,982    (6,841,312)
(300)   (13,021,482)   6,152,982    (6,868,500)

 

(1)      Assumes no defaults or prepayments by portfolio companies over the next twelve months.

 

We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps, futures, options and forward contracts, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of changes in interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments. We did not engage in interest rate hedging activities during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of June 30, 2022 (the end of the period covered by this report), our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal 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 Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal 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 Principal Executive Officer and Principal 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

 

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined under Rule 13a-af(f) under the Exchange Act, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Neither we nor the Adviser are currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings threatened against us or the Adviser. From time to time, we or the Adviser may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. While the outcome of these legal or regulatory proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022, except as provided below.

 

Inflation Risks. If a portfolio company is unable to increase its revenue in times of higher inflation, its profitability would be adversely affected. Typically, as inflation rises, a portfolio company will earn more revenue but also will incur higher expenses; as inflation declines, a portfolio company might be unable to reduce expenses in line with any resulting reduction in revenue. A rise in real interest rates would likely result in higher financing costs for portfolio companies and could therefore result in a reduction in the amount of cash available for distribution to investors or the value of the portfolio company.

 

57

 

ESG Considerations. The Company’s business faces increasing public scrutiny related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) activities. The Company risks damage to its brand and reputation if it fails to act responsibly in a number of areas, such as environmental stewardship, corporate governance and transparency and considering ESG factors in its investment processes. Adverse incidents with respect to ESG activities could impact the value of the Company’s brand, the cost of its operations and relationships with Shareholders and potential investors, all of which could adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations. Additionally, new regulatory initiatives related to ESG could adversely affect the Company’s business. The Company recognizes that a responsible approach to investing which takes into account ESG issues is an important element of its investment strategy. The Company is committed to considering material ESG issues relevant to its investment strategy in the course of its due diligence. In this regard, effective as of January 1, 2022, the Adviser has developed a Responsible Investment Policy and certain tools to assist the investment team in evaluating ESG risks on a pre-investment basis to determine the potential materiality of any downside risks. The Adviser’s ESG-related materiality considerations include, but are not limited to, environmental liabilities, physical impacts of climate change, data security and the protection of customer information, labor practices, diversity, equity and inclusion practices, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Where material ESG risks are identified during its initial due diligence with respect to a portfolio company, the Adviser will incorporate such risks into its investment analysis and decision-making process.

 

There is no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to successfully implement its ESG policy or to identify ESG risks and/or opportunities while achieving the Company’s investment objectives. In addition, applying ESG factors to investment decisions is qualitative and subjective by nature, and there is no guarantee that the criteria utilized by the Adviser, or any judgment exercised by the Adviser, will reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor. There are also significant differences in interpretations of what positive ESG characteristics mean by region, industry, and topic. The Adviser’s interpretations and decisions are expected to differ from others’ views and could also evolve over time. In addition, in evaluating an investment, the Adviser expects to depend upon information and data provided by several sources, including the relevant target companies and/or various reporting sources which could be incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable, and which could cause the Adviser to incorrectly assess a company’s ESG practices and/or related risks and opportunities. The Adviser does not intend independently to verify all ESG information reported by target companies or third parties. Further, considering ESG qualities when evaluating an investment could result in the selection or exclusion of certain investments based on the Adviser’s view of certain ESG-related and other factors and could cause the Company not to make an investment that it would have made or to make a management decision with respect to an investment differently than they would have made in the absence of the ESG policies, which could negatively impact the Company’s performance.

 

Further, ESG practices are evolving rapidly and there are different principles, frameworks, methodologies, and tracking tools being implemented by other asset managers, and the Adviser’s adoption and adherence to various such principles, frameworks, methodologies, and tools is expected to vary over time. There is also a growing regulatory interest across jurisdictions in improving transparency regarding the definition, measurement, and disclosure of ESG factors. The Adviser’s ESG policies could become subject to additional regulation in the future, and Stone Point cannot guarantee that its current approach will meet future regulatory requirements.

 

Co-investment with Third Parties. The Company may co-invest in portfolio companies with third parties (including, in certain circumstances, investment funds, accounts and investment vehicles managed by the Adviser and certain of its affiliates) through partnerships, joint ventures or other arrangements. Such investments may involve risks not present in investments where a third party is not involved, including the possibility that a third party co-venturer or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Company or may be in a position to take action contrary to the Company’s investment objectives. In addition, the Company may under certain circumstances be liable for actions of their third-party co-venturers or partners.

 

The Company may be prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with its affiliates without the prior approval of the directors who are not interested persons and, in some cases, the prior approval of the SEC. On June 14, 2022, the SEC granted the Company exemptive relief (the “Order”) that permits the Company to co-invest alongside other funds/vehicles managed by the Adviser or certain of its affiliates, or alongside the Adviser or certain of its affiliates in a principal capacity, in a manner consistent with the Company’s investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, The Order provides that, in connection with any co-investment transaction, the Company will receive its pro rata share of any transaction fees, based on its relative share of the amount invested or committed, as applicable, in the transaction. The Adviser’s investment allocation policy seeks to ensure equitable allocation of investment opportunities between the Company and other Credit Funds and certain affiliates of the Adviser. While an affiliated broker-dealer or other financial affiliate (“Financial Affiliate”) of the Adviser from time to time may be permitted, subject to the terms of the Order, to participate as principal in a co-investment transaction in which the Company also participates, in no event will the Financial Affiliate acquire any such investment at a price more favorable than that offered to the Company. As a result of the exemptive relief, there could be significant overlap in the Company’s investment portfolio and the investment portfolio of other Credit Funds that could avail themselves of the exemptive relief.

 

58

 

In situations when co-investment with other Credit Funds is not permitted under the 1940 Act and related rules, existing or future staff guidance, or the terms and conditions of the Order, the Adviser and/or its affiliates will need to decide which client or clients will proceed with the investment.

 

Recent Developments

 

From July 1, 2022 through August 11, 2022, the Company has committed approximately $116 million of new and incremental investments. This includes transactions that have closed or for which a formal mandate, letter of intent or a signed commitment have been issued, and therefore the Company believes are likely to close. From July 1, 2022 through August 11, 2022, the Company exited approximately $74 million of investment commitments.
