Dear Fellow Shareholders:

 

We are pleased to provide you with the enclosed report of Eagle Point Enhanced Income Trust (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Fund”) for the six months ended March 31, 2026.

 

The Fund is a closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “‘40 Act”), operates as an interval fund and is advised by Eagle Point Enhanced Income Management LLC (our “Adviser”), an affiliate of Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (“Eagle Point”). The Fund, organized as a Delaware statutory trust, offers its common shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) to investors on a continuous basis at the net asset value (“NAV”) per share plus any applicable sales charges.

 

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital gains. We seek to achieve these investment objectives through our time-tested, proprietary investment approach of using a private equity-style approach to investing in income-oriented assets. Our unique investment approach spans Regulatory Capital Relief (“RCR”) securities, Strategic Credit1 investments, infrastructure credit, asset-backed finance / specialty finance, Portfolio Debt Securities (“PDS”)2 and equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”).

 

Performance Highlights

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2026, we:

 

Paid consistent monthly distributions, resulting in an annualized distribution rate of 11.6%3,4 based on the Fund’s NAV per share (before any applicable sales charges).

 

Continued to experience minimal NAV volatility while paying out consistent monthly distributions. NAV per share was $9.78 as of May 20, 2026, compared to the Fund’s initial NAV per share of $10.00 at its October 2023 launch.

 

Generated net investment income that exceeded distributions paid to common shareholders, which includes the benefit of expense support provided by the Adviser to the Fund.

 

Actively managed our portfolio that is oriented towards specialized asset-based investment opportunities, typically collateralized by hard assets, which we believe offer a more resilient and less correlated risk profile than traditional direct lending. We leveraged Eagle Point’s investment expertise to take advantage of investment opportunities as market conditions evolved throughout the first half of the fiscal year.

 

-We continued to grow the diversity of our portfolio, deploying $38 million into new investments during the six months ended March 31, 2026. The portfolio held 100 investments as of March 31, 2026.

 

-In nearly all cases, investments we hold in our portfolio are also held in other portfolios managed by Eagle Point.

 

Maintained a portfolio in which all assets were performing and no assets were on non-accrual as of March 31, 2026, as we continue to evaluate a robust pipeline of attractive new investment opportunities for the remainder of 2026.

Market Commentary and Strategy Update

 

Macroeconomic data was mixed over the six-month period ended March 31, 2026. Corporate earnings remained generally solid, but rising oil prices driven by ongoing tensions in the Middle East rekindled concerns about both the inflation outlook and potentially weaker growth. Credit markets also experienced bouts of volatility as investors weighed the potential impact of artificial intelligence on software businesses and the broader technology sector. While uncertainty persists, given strong earnings data and a resilient consumer, our base case continues to be one of moderate growth in the near term.

 

After cutting policy rates in 2025, the Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged at its April 2026 meeting. We do not expect rates to move materially until there is greater clarity on the trajectory of inflation and the broader strength of the economy. The oil supply shock has been contained so far as inventories and prior overproduction have cushioned the impact. However, the longer the stand-off in the Middle East continues, the greater the likelihood of economic impact, and we remain cognizant of this risk as we invest.

 

We believe some of the fears around a “SaaS-pocalypse” are overblown. Technological disruption usually takes longer than anticipated, as adoption curves are slower and more uneven than markets assume. As evidence of this, 70% of Fortune 500 companies still operate mainframes 20 years after AWS was launched. There will, of course, be differentiation across the software sector, and companies with mission-critical workflows, proprietary data and regulated industry exposure tend to be more resilient, while commoditized solutions will likely face greater pressure sooner.

 

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund continued to generate income from a diversified private credit portfolio while navigating periods of broader market volatility. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund generated an inception-to-date total net return of 22.8%.5 Performance reflected the Fund’s emphasis on downside protection, portfolio diversification and differentiated income-oriented private credit strategies.

 

Importantly, our strategy differs meaningfully from the traditional middle market direct lending strategies that have garnered significant media attention lately. Our performance in the three months ended March 31, 2026, generating a non-annualized return of 1.1%, underscores the merits of portfolio construction that seeks to avoid direct exposures to such risks, focuses largely on investments underpinned by hard assets or with relatively conservative asset coverage ratios and is oriented toward less-correlated and less competitive sectors of the credit market.

 

We had two notable realizations of originated investments during the period, including a directly originated infrastructure loan backed by hard assets, which crystallized at a 1.2x multiple on invested capital (“MOIC”) after a four-month hold. Separately, one of the Fund’s earliest investments was repaid in full, generating a mid-teens internal rate of return, including an exit fee. This investment faced some stress during its life and was a good example of how structural features embedded in many of our investments, including mandatory amortization schedules and tight covenant packages, help protect our capital.

 

On the investment front, we structured a bilateral loan facility to a well-established lower middle market loan origination platform. In addition to our loan, we invested in the company’s preferred equity and received warrants for 10% of the company. The transaction was structured with strong downside protections including an asset coverage ratio (“ACR”) and other covenants. Our ability to provide a comprehensive financing solution resulted in enhanced economics and governance rights. This opportunity arose from a long-standing relationship between members of the Eagle Point team and a senior executive at the borrower, as well as investment constraints faced by the company’s existing institutional shareholder, a well-regarded university endowment. Interestingly, this lender gets personal guarantees on nearly all its loans, which we believe is a meaningful differentiator in its origination process.

 

In the Fund’s asset-backed finance strategy, our relationship with Sports Illustrated Tickets, for which we are a secured lender and equity owner, put us in pole position to provide the company with an accordion facility specifically to fund the purchase of tickets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Strong demand for World Cup tickets, coupled with the facility’s financial covenants, provides us with robust downside protection, while a minimum MOIC covenant should help generate a very attractive return for our shareholders. Additionally, we completed our initial funding into Newton Commercial Finance, our equipment finance origination platform in partnership with Apple Bank. Newton pairs Eagle Point’s credit analytics and

portfolio management expertise with Apple Bank’s origination channels and operating capabilities to source and distribute uncorrelated equipment loans and leases. We are currently in advanced negotiations to acquire a large and diversified equipment lease portfolio through this platform, which we expect to close in the coming weeks.

 

Looking ahead, we remain constructive on the opportunity set for the Fund. Periods of uncertainty in broader markets have historically created attractive conditions for the kind of disciplined, asset-based origination that defines our strategy. Our pipeline of directly originated private credit investments, many with strong collateral packages and paths to potential equity upside, remains robust across asset classes. We continue to prioritize flexibility in portfolio construction, allowing us to rebalance tactically as conditions evolve, and we believe this approach positions the Fund to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns over time.

Notes

 

1The Adviser defines “Strategic Credit” investments as a broad range of credit-related investments that the Adviser believes present attractive risk-adjusted returns under then current market conditions. Such investments may include, among other credit-related securities and instruments, (i) high yield, investment grade and distressed corporate bonds, (ii) corporate loans (including, without limitation, senior secured loans, mezzanine loans, revolving loans, delayed draw loans, distressed loans and debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financings), (iii) common stock and other securities or instruments issued by funds and other investment vehicles, (iv) credit-related exchange-traded funds, (v) credit default swaps and other credit derivatives, (vi) commodity-related investments, (vii) securities issued by asset-backed and similar securitization vehicles (including, without limitation, collateralized bond obligations, mortgage-backed securitizations, credit-linked notes and small business loan pool certificates), (viii) regulatory capital relief investments (including, without limitation, significant risk transfer transactions), (ix) equipment loans/ leases, (x) convertible debt (including contingent convertible securities), preferred equity, warrants and rights and (xi) derivative instruments on any of the foregoing.

 

2The Adviser defines “Portfolio Debt Securities” primarily as debt and preferred equity securities or instruments (including debt and preferred securities which are convertible into common equity) issued by funds and investment vehicles, such as business development companies (“BDCs”), registered closed-end investment companies, unregistered private funds, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and sponsors of such vehicles, to finance a portion of their underlying investment portfolios.

 

3Unless otherwise noted, all references to the NAV, performance and distributions throughout this management discussion of Fund performance are with respect to the Fund’s Class AA shares, before any applicable sales charges.

 

4The Fund’s annualized distribution rate reflects distributions declared during the quarter ended in March 2026, annualized, and divided by the NAV as of March 31, 2026. Special distributions, including special capital gains distributions (if any), are not included in the calculation. Historical performance is not a guarantee of future returns and future performance may vary. The timing and frequency of distributions are not guaranteed. Investment return and principal value of any investment will fluctuate and may be worth more or less than the amount initially invested. Distributions are not guaranteed. Distributions may be comprised of any combination of 1) net investment income (“NII”) and/or 2) net capital gain and, if the Fund distributes an amount in excess of NII and net capital gains, a portion of such distribution will constitute a return of capital. In the event the Fund estimates that it has distributed amounts from sources other than net investment income, the Fund issues a Section 19(a) Notice disclosing the estimated amount and character of such distribution, which may be viewed at www.EPEnhanced.com. Please note that these estimates may not match the final tax characterization for the full-year distributions, which can only be finally determined as of the end of each fiscal year and are thereafter reported to shareholders on Form 1099. Investors should be aware that the distribution rate should not be confused with yield or performance.

 

5Total return is calculated based on a change in NAV per share between the beginning and end of period and assumes distributions paid to shareholders during the period were reinvested in accordance with the Fund’s distribution reinvestment plan. Total return does not include upfront sales charges. Performance reflects certain expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements in effect during the periods shown. Absent these arrangements, the Fund’s performance would have been lower. Past performance is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance.

1. Organization

 

Eagle Point Enhanced Income Trust (the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company to offer its shares on a continuous basis. The Fund is managed by Eagle Point Enhanced Income Management LLC (the “Adviser”), which is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and is subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). An affiliate of the Adviser, Eagle Point Credit Management LLC, provides investment professionals and other resources to the Adviser. The Fund has elected to be treated, and to qualify, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for federal income tax purposes.

 

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital gains. The Fund seeks to achieve these investment objectives by investing in a broad range of income-oriented assets, including portfolio debt securities, strategic credit investments, asset-based finance, regulatory capital relief transactions and equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). The Fund commenced its operations on October 1, 2023. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund offered five classes of common shares of beneficial interest: Class AA Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares, and Class S Shares. Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares, and Class S Shares commenced operations on October 15, 2025, pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC permitting the Fund to offer multiple classes of shares. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments and bears the same fees and expenses, except that each class bears different sales loads, distribution and shareholder service fees, and other class-specific expenses, and is subject to different eligibility requirements and minimum investment amounts. See Note 6 “Shareholders’ Equity” for additional information.

 

The Fund has four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Eagle Point Enhanced Income Investor Sub (Cayman) Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company, Eagle Point Enhanced Income Trust Sub II Cayman LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company, Eagle Point Enhanced Income Trust Sub (US) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Eagle Point Enhanced Income Trust Sub II (US) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. These subsidiaries have been organized to hold certain of the Fund’s investments for legal, regulatory and tax purposes. As of March 31, 2026, Eagle Point Enhanced Income Investor Sub (Cayman) Ltd., Eagle Point Enhanced Income Trust Sub II Cayman LLC, Eagle Point Enhanced Income Trust Sub (US) LLC and Eagle Point Enhanced Income Trust Sub II (US) LLC held approximately 41%, 1%, 2% and 3% of the Fund’s total assets, respectively.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. Items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured and presented in U.S. dollars.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and all entities in which the Fund has a controlling financial interest, which is typically evidenced by ownership of a majority of voting interests or by being the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”).

 

The Fund evaluates its investments and other interests to determine whether they represent VIEs and, if so, whether the Fund is the primary beneficiary. Entities in which the Fund does not have a controlling financial interest are not consolidated and are accounted for under the equity method or fair value, as appropriate.

 

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of the reporting date. The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the valuation of the Fund’s investments. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

23

 

 

 

Operating Segments

The Fund has a single reportable segment with investment objectives described in Note 1 “Organization”. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) of the Fund is comprised of the Fund’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

Key financial information used by the CODM to assess the Fund’s performance and make operational decisions — including the Fund’s portfolio composition, total return, changes in net assets and expense ratios — is consistent with the presentation within the Fund’s consolidated financial statements. Segment assets are reflected as “Total Assets” on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and significant segment expenses are listed on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Securities Transactions

The Fund records the purchase and sale of securities on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of the specific identification method.

 

Forward Currency Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts to manage the Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies in which certain investments are denominated. A forward currency contract is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy and sell a specific currency at an agreed-upon exchange rate and on an agreed-upon future date.

 

Forward currency contracts are recorded at fair value, with change in fair value recognized as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency contracts on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains or losses resulting from the settlement of forward currency contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Cash amounts pledged as collateral in connection with forward currency contracts are classified as restricted.

 

Foreign Currency Transaction

The Fund does not isolate the portion of its results of operations attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates from those arising due to fluctuations in market prices of investments denominated in foreign currencies. These combined effects are included with the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, foreign currency and cash equivalents.

 

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses may arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses occurring between trade and settlement dates on investment transactions and differences between the recorded amounts of dividends and interest income and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received.

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Fund defines cash and cash equivalents as cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The Fund maintains its cash in bank accounts, which may, at times, exceed federal insured limits. The Adviser monitors the performance of the financial institutions where such accounts are held to manage associated risk.

 

Cash equivalents are carried at cost, plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents are held for meeting short-term liquidity requirements, rather than for investment purposes. Cash equivalents are classified as Level I in the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund held no cash equivalents.

 

Restricted cash represents amounts subject to legal or contractual restrictions imposed by third parties, including limitations on withdrawal or use. These restrictions may require the funds to be used for a specified purpose or limit the purpose for which the funds can be used. The Fund considers cash collateral posted with counterparties in connection with foreign currency contracts to be restricted cash. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund held no restricted cash associated with forward currency contracts.

 

Participation Agreement

The Fund enters into participation agreements whereby it transfers economic interests in certain portfolio investments to third-party participants while retaining legal title to the underlying assets. The accounting treatment for these arrangements depends on the specific terms and economic substance of each agreement.

 

24

 

 

 

For certain participation agreements, the Fund records the proceeds received as a liability on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities titled “Investments sold under participation agreement” in accordance with ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. Under these arrangements, the underlying investments continue to be carried at fair value, and the Fund recognizes interest income on the full investment amount while recording corresponding interest expense on the participation liability. The participation liabilities are carried at fair value and bear interest at rates determined by the underlying investment terms.

 

For other participation agreements where the economic terms result in a proportionate transfer of risk and reward, the Fund reduces the carrying value of the underlying investment by the participation amount sold. Under these arrangements, no separate liability is recorded, and the net investment position reflects the Fund’s retained economic interest.

 

The Fund retains servicing responsibilities for all participation arrangements and has no obligation to repurchase participations or provide additional collateral beyond the investments subject to the participation agreements. As of March 31, 2026, participation liabilities totaled $4.0 million, and investments were reduced by $2.1 million for participations that reduce the carrying value of the underlying investments.

 

Warrants

The Fund may receive warrants from issuers upon an investment in the debt or equity of an issuer. Warrants provide the Fund with exposure to and potential gains upon equity appreciation of the issuer’s share price.

 

The value of a warrant has two components: time value and intrinsic value. A warrant has a limited life and expires on a certain date. As the expiration date of a warrant approaches, the time value declines. In addition, if the stock underlying the warrant declines in price, the intrinsic value of an in-the-money warrant will also decline. Furthermore, at expiration, if the price of the stock underlying the warrant does not exceed the warrant’s strike price, the warrant will expire worthless. As a result, the Fund could potentially lose its entire investment in a warrant. The Fund is also exposed to counterparty risk, which arises from the potential failure of an issuer of warrants to settle exercised warrants. The maximum potential loss to the Fund from counterparty risk is limited to the fair value of the contracts.

 

The Fund accounts for the warrants in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and recognizes warrants as assets at fair value on the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as warrants are being measured at fair value each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments account in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Investment Income Recognition 

Interest Income from Investments 

Interest income from debt securities is recorded using the accrual basis of accounting to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected.

 

Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted, respectively, using the effective interest method and are included in interest income. The Fund applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08 Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”) in calculating amortization of premium for applicable investments.

 

In certain circumstances, all or a portion of interest income from a given investment may be paid in the form of additional investment principal, often referred to as payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. PIK interest is included in interest income and interest receivable through the PIK capitalization date. On the capitalization date, the PIK component of interest receivable is capitalized as additional principal in the investment, which is subject to fair value determination, and the PIK interest rate is applied to the entire principal balance of the applicable investment. To the extent the Fund does not believe it will ultimately be able to collect capitalized PIK interest, the investment will be placed on non-accrual status, and previously recorded capitalized PIK interest will be reversed. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Fund recorded $0.2 million of interest income as PIK, which represented approximately 4% of the Fund’s total interest income for the same period, as included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Investment income from investments in the equity tranche securities of CLOs, collateralized fund obligations (“CFOs”), rated feeder funds and certain other investments is recognized using the effective interest method, in accordance with ASC Topic 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. Under the effective interest method, income is recognized based on an effective yield to maturity derived from projected cash flows, and any difference between cash distributed and income amount calculated pursuant to the effective interest method is recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of the

 

25

 

 

 

investment. It is the Adviser’s policy to review the effective yield for each CLO equity position held within the Fund’s portfolio at the initiation of each investment and each subsequent quarter thereafter. For CFO equity, rated feeder fund equity and certain other investments, the effective yield is reviewed at each measurement date and updated periodically based on the facts and circumstances known to the Adviser.

 

Dividend Income 

Dividend income from preferred equity securities is recorded using the accrual basis of accounting to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. Dividend income from common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded companies.

 

Other Income 

Other income includes the Fund’s share of income under the terms of fee rebate agreements and commitment fee income relating to securities with a delayed draw or revolving credit feature.

 

Expenses, Offering Cost and Deferred Financing and Issuance Costs 

Expense Recognition 

Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Offering Costs 

Offering costs associated with the issuance of the Fund’s shares are capitalized to deferred offering cost on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized to expense over the twelve-month period following such capitalization on a straight-line basis.

 

Organizational Expenses 

Organizational expenses of the Fund are expensed as incurred.

 

Interest Expense 

Interest expense includes the Fund’s distributions associated with the Fund’s Series A Term Preferred Shares due 2029 (the “Preferred Shares”) and interest amounts due under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7 “Revolving Credit Facility”) in relation to outstanding borrowings, unused commitment fees and amortization of deferred financing and issuance costs associated with borrowings.

 

The following table summarizes the components of interest expense for the period ended March 31, 2026:

 

Amounts in millions

 

   Preferred   Revolving     
   Shares   Credit Facility   Total 
Interest expense  $1.0   $0.6   $1.7 
Amortization of deferred financing and issuance costs   0.1    0.1    0.2 
Total interest expense(1)  $1.1   $0.7   $1.9 

 

(1)Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

 

Please refer to Note 7 “Revolving Credit Facility” and Note 8 “Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Shares” for further discussion relating to the interest expense due under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Preferred Shares, respectively.

 

Deferred Financing and Issuance Costs 

Deferred financing and issuance costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility and the issuance of Preferred Shares. These costs are capitalized at the time of payment and amortized over the respective terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and Preferred Shares using the straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.

 

Amortization of deferred financing and issuance costs is recorded as interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

26

 

 

 

Prepaid Expenses 

Prepaid expenses consist primarily of insurance premiums and state registration fees. Insurance premiums are amortized over the term of the applicable policy. State registration fees are amortized over a twelve-month period beginning at the time of payment.

 

Federal and Other Taxes 

The Fund intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code and, as such, to not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to shareholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, among other requirements, the Fund is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. The Fund has adopted September 30 as its fiscal tax year end.

 

Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax basis components of distributable earnings may differ from the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities due to temporary book/tax differences.

 

As of March 31, 2026, net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the Fund’s investments on a tax basis was as follows:

 

Amounts in millions    
     
Cost for federal income tax purposes  $114.6 
Gross unrealized appreciation  $6.0 
Gross unrealized depreciation   (8.5)
Net unrealized depreciation(1)  $(2.5)

 

(1)Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

 

The Fund’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle Point Enhanced Income Investor Sub (US) LLC (“Sub US”), has elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes. As such, Sub US may be subject to federal, state and local tax in jurisdictions where it operates or is deemed to operate. Sub US has recorded a deferred tax liability of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2026, of which $0.1 million represents tax expense incurred for the six months ended March 31, 2026.

 

Distributions to Shareholders 

The composition of distributions paid to shareholders from net investment income and capital gains is determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions to shareholders can be comprised of net investment income, net realized capital gains and return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are intended to be paid monthly.

 

Distributions payable to shareholders are recorded as a liability on the ex-dividend date. Shareholders who participate in the Fund’s distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) will have their distributions automatically reinvested in shares of the Fund as of the payment date pursuant to the DRIP. Shareholders who do not participate in the DRIP generally will receive distributions in cash.

 

In addition to regular monthly distributions, and subject to the available taxable earnings of the Fund, the Fund may make periodic special distributions representing the excess of the Fund’s net taxable income over the Fund’s aggregate monthly distributions paid during the year (or for other purposes).

 

The characterization of distributions paid to shareholders, as set forth in the Consolidated Financial Highlights, reflects estimates made by the Fund for federal income tax purposes. These estimates are subject to change once final determination of the tax attributes of all distributions has been made by the Fund.

3. Valuation of Investments

 

The Fund accounts for its investments in accordance with U.S. GAAP and determines fair values in accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. Investments are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at fair value, which represents the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).

 

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”), the Board has designated the Adviser as “valuation designee” responsible for performing fair value determinations, subject to Board oversight and certain other conditions. In the absence of readily available market quotations, as defined by Rule 2a-5, the Adviser determines the fair value of the Fund’s investments in accordance with its written valuation policy, which has been approved by the Board.

 

Fair value determinations require the application of judgment to the specific facts and circumstances of each investment. While the Fund applies a consistent valuation process across similar investment types, there is no single method for determining fair value in good faith. Due to the uncertainty in estimating fair value, the values assigned to investments may differ materially from values that would have been used had an active market for the investments existed.

 

The Adviser determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability in measuring investments:

 

Level I   — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund is able to access as of the reporting date.
   
Level II  — Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level I, that are observable either directly or indirectly as of the reporting date. These inputs may include (a) quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset, or (d) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
   
Level III — Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and little, if any, active market exists as of the reporting date. Fair value inputs require significant judgment or estimation from the Adviser.

 

In cases where inputs used to measure fair value fall into multiple levels of the hierarchy, the classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each investment.

 

Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Investments with readily available quoted prices in active markets generally require a lesser degree of judgment and have a higher degree of market price observability. Conversely, investments lacking observable market data are valued using Level III inputs, which incorporate the Adviser’s own assumptions (including assumptions the Adviser believes market participants would use in valuing investments and assumptions relating to appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and lack of marketability), as outlined in the Adviser’s valuation policy.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Fund may use NAV as a practical expedient to estimate the fair value of certain investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value. When NAV is used as a practical expedient, those investments are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The Adviser estimates the fair value for each applicable investment at least monthly, based on information available as of the reporting date.

In addition to the techniques and inputs outlined in the preceding table, the Adviser may use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments, as permitted under the Adviser’s valuation policy approved by the Board.

Changes in the unobservable inputs and assumptions can have an impact on the fair value measurement, specifically:

 

Increases (decreases) in the default rate and discount rate, in isolation, would generally result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.

 

Changes in the prepayment rate may result in either a higher or lower fair value, depending on the circumstances.

 

Generally, a change in the default rate assumption may be accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for the prepayment and recovery rates.

 

Certain of the Fund’s Level III investments have been valued using unadjusted inputs not internally developed by the Adviser, including third-party transactions, third-party pricing services, recent market transactions and data reported by trustees. As a result, investments with a fair value of $8.0 million have been excluded from the preceding table.

Fair Value — Valuation Techniques and Inputs

The Adviser has established valuation processes and procedures to ensure the valuation techniques are fair and consistent, and valuation inputs are supportable. Oversight of the valuation process is conducted by the Adviser’s Valuation Committee, which is composed of senior personnel from the Adviser or its affiliates, the majority of whom are not involved in the Fund’s portfolio management activities. The Valuation Committee is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Adviser’s written valuation policies, which have been approved by the Board, and evaluating the overall fairness and consistency of the valuation process. The Valuation Committee reviews and approves the fair value determinations of the Fund’s portfolio investments on a monthly basis.

 

When determining the fair value of investments categorized as Level III within the fair value hierarchy, the Adviser uses the following valuation framework tailored to the nature and complexity of each type of investment:

 

Valuation of CLO Equity

The Fund’s investments in CLO equity have been valued using a combination of an independent pricing service and the

 

Adviser’s internal valuation process, in accordance with the Adviser’s valuation policy approved by the Board.

 

The primary source of the CLO equity marks is the independent pricing service, which applies a methodology incorporating observable market data, including executable bids, broker quotes from dealers with two-sided markets and transaction activity from comparable securities to those being valued.

 

To monitor the accuracy of the marks provided by the pricing service, the Adviser utilizes a third-party financial tool that projects future cash flows of CLO equity tranches based on detailed CLO-specific data, such as assets and liabilities information sourced from trustee reports, and market assumptions. Key assumptions include, but not limited to, assumptions for loan default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and discount rates. These assumptions are determined by considering both observable and third-party market data, prevailing general market assumptions and conventions, and the Adviser’s own analysis.

 

Additionally, the Adviser considers a third-party independent valuation firm in determining the fair value of CLO equity investments. The valuation firm’s advice is only one factor considered in the valuation of such investments, and the Adviser does not solely rely on such advice in accordance with Rule 2a-5.

 

Due to the use of unobservable inputs and the application of significant judgment, CLO equity investments are classified as Level III within the fair value hierarchy. While an active market may exist for CLO equity securities, it may not be active or observable for the specific investments held by the Fund as of the reporting date.

 

Valuation of Asset Backed Securities (“ABS”), Regulatory Capital Relief Securities (“RCR”), Rated Feeder Fund Equity, CFO Debt, CFO Equity and Limited Partnership Interests

 

The Adviser generally engages a nationally recognized independent valuation agent to determine the fair value of the Fund’s investments in ABS, RCR, CFO debt, CFO equity, rated feeder fund equity and limited partnership interests. The valuation agent typically performs a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation technique appropriate for the facts and circumstances, to determine the fair value of such investments, ultimately providing a high and low valuation for each investment. The final valuation recorded by the Fund falls within this range.

 

Due to the lack of observable inputs, the Adviser categorizes these investments as Level III investments within the fair value hierarchy.

 

In certain circumstances, the Adviser may also utilize the mid-point of an indicative broker quotation or independent pricing service quotation to value such investments as of the reporting date. Depending on the availability of an active market as of the reporting date, these investments may be classified as Level II or Level III.

 

32

 

 

 

Valuation of Private Investments

The Adviser engages a nationally recognized independent valuation agent to determine the fair value of private investments held by the Fund, which includes, among other investments, term loans, common stock, corporate bonds, preferred stock and warrants. The valuation agent typically performs a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation technique appropriate for the facts and circumstances to determine the fair value of such investments, ultimately providing a high and low valuation for each investment. The final valuation recorded by the Fund falls within this range.

 

Due to the illiquid nature of these investments and the lack of observable inputs, the Adviser classifies them as Level III within the fair value hierarchy.

 

Valuation of Loan Accumulation Facilities

The Fund’s investments in Loan Accumulation Facilities (“LAFs”) are valued in accordance with ASC 820, using the income approach, which reflects current market expectations of future cash flows (i.e., exit price).

 

LAFs are typically short to medium term in nature and formed to acquire loans on an interim basis in anticipation of a specific CLO transaction. When the LAF governing documents require loans to be transferred to the CLO at original cost plus accrued interest, the Adviser determines the fair value based on the cost of the Fund’s investment (i.e., the principal amount invested) and the Fund’s attributable share of net investment income and any realized gains or losses reported by the trustee during the applicable reporting period.

 

If the loans are expected to be transferred to the CLO at market value due to provisions in the LAF governing documents or because the Adviser determines a CLO transaction is no longer anticipated, the Adviser will continue to fair value the LAF consistent with the income approach, but will modify the fair value measurement to reflect the change in exit strategy of the LAF to incorporate market expectations of the receipt of future amounts (i.e., exit price). In such cases, the fair value of the LAF will include the cost of the Fund’s investment (i.e., the principal amount invested), the Fund’s attributable share of unrealized gains or losses on the LAF’s underlying loan assets, net investment income and any realized gains or losses reported by the trustee during the applicable reporting period.

 

Due to the absence of an active market and the use of unobservable inputs, the Adviser categorizes LAFs as Level III investments within the fair value hierarchy.

 

Investment Risk Factors and Concentration of Investments

The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of the potential risks associated with the Fund. The Fund’s prospectus provides a detailed discussion of the Fund’s risks and considerations. The risks described in the prospectus are not the only risks the Fund faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Fund or that are currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

Risks of Investing in Certain Pooled Issuers and other Structured Debt Securities

Portfolio Debt Securities, CLOs, and other structured finance securities are generally backed by a pool of credit-related assets that serve as collateral. Accordingly, such securities present risks similar to those of other types of credit investments, including default (credit), interest rate and prepayment risks. In addition, such securities may be governed by a complex series of legal documents and contracts, which increases the risk of dispute over the interpretation and enforceability of such documents relative to other types of investments. There is also a risk that the trustee or other servicer does not properly carry out its duties to the CLO or structured finance security, potentially resulting in loss. CLOs and certain structured finance securities are also inherently leveraged vehicles and therefore subject to leverage risk.

 

The Fund may invest in CFOs or rated feeders, which typically consist of tranches of notes and/or equity issued by a special purpose vehicle that holds limited partnership interests in one or more private funds. Investments in CFOs and rated feeders are generally subject to the risks applicable to the underlying fund collateral, including uncertainty as to the amount and timing of underlying fund distributions, transfer restrictions and general illiquidity of underlying fund investments, dependence of the performance of the underlying funds’ general partner and key personnel, leverage risks, and general market and economic factors.

 

33

 

 

 

Subordinated Securities Risk

Certain debt securities in which the Fund may invest are subordinated to more senior tranches of debt. Accordingly, such debt securities are subject to increased risks of default relative to the holders of superior priority interests in the same issuer. In addition, certain securities are under-collateralized in that the face amount of the issuer’s debt and equity exceeds its total assets. With respect to certain investments, the Fund will be in a first loss or subordinated position with respect to realized losses on the underlying assets held by the issuers of such securities.

 

High Yield Investment Risk

Certain investments of the Fund are rated below investment grade or unrated. Such securities are sometimes referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. The senior secured loans and other credit-related assets underlying certain investments may also be high yield investments. Investing in such investments involves greater credit and liquidity risk, which may adversely impact the Fund’s performance.

 

Leverage Risk

The use of leverage, whether directly or indirectly through investments, may magnify the Fund’s risk of loss. Certain issuers in which the Fund invests are very highly leveraged and therefore are subject to a high degree of risk of loss.

 

Credit Risk

The Fund invests primarily in credit and credit-related instruments. Such investments generally fluctuate in value based upon broader market factors, such as changes in interest rates, and also based on developments affecting the perceived creditworthiness and ability of the borrower to repay the principal and interest owed with respect to the underlying indebtedness. If a credit investment in the Fund’s portfolio declines in price and/or fails to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer or debtor, as the case may be, experiences a decline in its financial status, the Fund’s NAV and/or income would be adversely impacted.

 

Key Personnel Risk

The Adviser manages the Fund’s investments. Consequently, the Fund’s success depends, in large part, upon the services of the Adviser, including its affiliate Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (which provides the Adviser with investment professionals and other resources under a personnel and resources agreement), and the skill and expertise of the Adviser’s professional personnel. There can be no assurance that the professional personnel of the Adviser (or Eagle Point Credit Management LLC) will continue to serve in their current positions or continue to be employed by the Adviser. The Fund can offer no assurance that their services will be available for any length of time or that the Adviser will continue indefinitely as the Fund’s investment adviser.

 

Conflicts of Interest Risk

The Fund’s executive officers and trustees, and the Adviser and certain of its affiliates and their officers and employees, including the members of the Senior Investment Team, have several conflicts of interest as a result of the other activities in which they engage.

 

Risks of Default on Underlying Assets

A wide range of factors could adversely affect the ability of the issuer of an underlying asset to make interest or other payments on that asset and result in a default by such issuer. Defaults and losses of underlying assets would reduce the Fund’s collateral in the investment or otherwise impair the creditworthiness of the Fund’s investment. This could have a negative impact on the fair value of the Fund’s investment and reduce the cash flows that the Fund receives from its investment.

 

Prepayment Risk

Investments held by the Fund may be prepaid more quickly than expected. Prepayment rates are influenced by changes in interest rates and a variety of factors beyond the Fund’s control and consequently cannot be accurately predicted. Early prepayments give rise to increased reinvestment risk, as the Fund might realize excess cash from prepayments earlier than expected. If the Fund is unable to reinvest such cash in a new investment with an expected rate of return at least equal to that of the investment repaid, this may reduce the Fund’s net income and the fair value of that asset.

 

34

 

 

 

Liquidity Risk 

Generally, there is no public market for many of the Fund’s investments. As such, the Fund may not be able to sell such investments quickly, or at all. If the Fund is able to sell such investments, the prices the Fund receives may not reflect the Adviser’s assessment of their fair value or the amount paid for such investments by the Fund.

 

Incentive Fee Risk 

The Fund’s incentive fee structure and the formula for calculating the fee payable to the Adviser may incentivize the Adviser to pursue speculative investments and use leverage in a manner that adversely impacts the Fund’s performance.

 

Fair Valuation of the Fund’s Investments 

Generally, there is no public market for many of the Fund’s investments. As a result, the Adviser values these securities at fair value in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The Adviser’s determinations of the fair value of the Fund’s investments have a material impact on the Fund’s net earnings through the recording of unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and may cause the Fund’s NAV on a given date to understate or overstate, possibly materially, the value that the Fund ultimately realizes on one or more of the Fund’s investments. The Fund is offered on a daily basis and calculates a daily NAV per share. The Adviser seeks to evaluate on a daily basis material information about the Fund’s investments; however, the Adviser may not be able to acquire and/or evaluate properly such information on a daily basis.

 

Non-Diversification Risk 

The Fund is a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act and expects to hold fewer investments than a diversified fund under the 1940 Act.

 

Market Risk 

Political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Fund’s investments. A disruption or downturn in the capital markets and the credit markets could impair the Fund’s ability to raise capital, reduce the availability of suitable investment opportunities for the Fund or adversely and materially affect the value of the Fund’s investments, any of which would negatively affect the Fund’s business. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain, and could affect companies worldwide.

 

Synthetic Investments Risk 

The Fund may invest in synthetic investments, including regulatory capital relief securities and credit risk transfer securities, which are fixed-rate or floating -rate unsecured general obligations issued by banks or other financial institutions, or acquire interests in lease agreements that have the general characteristics of loans and are treated as loans for withholding tax purposes. In addition to the credit risks associated with the applicable reference assets, the Fund will usually have a contractual relationship only with the counterparty of such synthetic investment, and not with the reference obligor of the reference asset. Accordingly, the Fund will generally have no right to directly enforce compliance by the reference obligor with the terms of the reference asset nor will it have any rights of setoff against the reference obligor or rights with respect to the reference asset. The Fund will not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the reference asset and will not have the benefit of the remedies that would normally be available to a holder of such reference asset. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the counterparty, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the reference asset. Consequently, the Fund will be subject to the credit risk of the counterparty as well as that of the reference obligor.

 

Infrastructure Sector Risk 

Infrastructure asset investments may be subject to a variety of risks, not all of which can be foreseen or quantified, including: (i) the burdens of ownership of infrastructure: (ii) local, national and international political and economic conditions; (iii) the supply and demand for services from and access to infrastructure; (iv) the financial condition of users and suppliers of infrastructure asset investments; (v) changes in interest rates and the availability of funds which may render the purchase, sale or refinancing of infrastructure asset investments difficult or impracticable; (vi) changes in regulations, planning laws and other governmental rules; (vii) changes in fiscal and monetary policies; (viii) under-insured or uninsurable losses, such as force majeure acts and terrorist events; (ix) reduced investment in public and private infrastructure projects; and (x) other factors which are beyond the reasonable control of the Fund. Many of the foregoing factors could cause fluctuations in usage, expenses and revenues, causing the value of investments to decline and a material adverse effect on the Fund’s performance.

 

35

 

 

 

Asset-Based Finance Investments Risk 

The Fund may invest in asset-based finance investments, which are secured by, or otherwise dependent upon, the performance of pools of loans, leases, receivables, royalties or other contractual cash flows. The value of such investments is subject to the risk that the underlying obligors will be unable or unwilling to make principal or interest payments as they come due. Asset-based finance investments are also subject to the risk that the value of the collateral securing the obligations will decline or that the Fund may be unable to realize the expected value of the collateral because of difficulties in liquidating or enforcing rights in the collateral. In addition, cash flows associated with asset-based finance investments may be affected by factors such as the creditworthiness of the servicer, changes in prepayment rates, fluctuations in interest rates, structural features of the investment, and broader economic and market conditions. These factors may reduce the Fund’s returns or result in losses.

 

Regulatory Capital Relief Investments Risk 

Regulatory capital relief investments are credit risk transfers or significant risk transfers. These transactions enable a bank or other issuer to transfer the credit risk associated with a pool of underlying obligations (or “reference assets”) to investors, such as the Fund, in order to obtain regulatory capital relief, risk limit relief, and/or credit risk hedging with respect to the reference assets. Under these transactions, a third-party investor (e.g., the Fund), agrees to absorb losses on a designated loan portfolio in exchange for a protection payment. Under any such trades into which the Fund enters, the Fund will be exposed to the credit risk of the underlying portfolio, and if the loans in the portfolio default, which may be more likely if there is a general deterioration in credit markets, the principal of the Fund’s credit-linked notes will be used to cover the losses. There may be a risk that the international regulatory framework for banks (known as “Basel III”), when fully implemented, may discourage such regulatory capital relief trades and/or may force banks to unwind some or all existing transactions.

 

Currency Risk 

Although the Fund primarily makes investments denominated in U.S. dollars, the Fund may make investments denominated in other currencies. The Fund’s investments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be subject to the risk that the value of such currency will decrease in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Fund may or may not hedge currency risk.

 

Hedging Risk 

Hedging transactions seeking to reduce risks may result in poorer overall performance than if the Fund had not engaged in such hedging transactions. Additionally, such transactions may not fully hedge the relevant risks.

 

Interest Rate Risk 

Fluctuations in interest rates, whether driven by governmental policy, inflation expectations, or other market factors, could adversely affect the Fund’s results, including both the level of cash flows the Fund generates and the market value of its portfolio investments.

 

Income from the Fund’s investments in floating-rate instruments will generally rise or fall with changes in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or another applicable benchmark rate.

 

In a sustained period of elevated interest rates and/or an economic downturn, loan default rates could rise, leading to higher credit losses that may reduce the Fund’s cash flow, the fair value of its assets and its operating results. Conversely, a significant decline in interest rates could decrease portfolio income over time as loans reprice at lower coupons.

 

An increase in interest rates may also negatively affect the value of the Fund’s fixed-rate investments, such as high-yield bonds, and could increase the Fund’s own financing costs to the extent it issues floating-rate debt or refinances fixed-rate debt or preferred equity at higher rates in the future, thereby reducing net investment income.

 

Refinancing Risk 

If the Fund incurs debt financing and subsequently refinances such debt, the replacement debt may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions. If the Fund fails to extend, refinance or replace such debt financings prior to their maturity on commercially reasonable terms, the Fund’s liquidity will be lower than it would have been with the benefit of such financings, which would limit the Fund’s ability to grow, and holders of the Fund’s common shares would not benefit from the potential for increased returns on equity that incurring leverage creates.

 

36

 

 

 

Tax Risk 

If the Fund fails to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for any reason, or otherwise becomes subject to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes (and any related penalties) could substantially reduce the Fund’s net assets, the amount of income available for distributions to the Fund’s shareholders, and the amount of income available for payment of the Fund’s other liabilities.

 

Derivatives Risk 

Derivative instruments in which the Fund may invest may be volatile and involve various risks different from, and in certain cases greater than, the risks presented by other instruments. The primary risks related to derivative transactions include counterparty, correlation, liquidity, leverage, volatility, OTC trading, operational and legal risks. In addition, a small investment in derivatives could have a large potential impact on the Fund’s performance, effecting a form of investment leverage on the Fund’s portfolio. In certain types of derivative transactions, the Fund could lose the entire amount of the Fund’s investment; in other types of derivative transactions, the potential loss is theoretically unlimited.

 

Counterparty Risk 

The Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, which could make it difficult for the Fund or the issuers in which the Fund invests to collect on obligations, thereby resulting in potentially significant losses.

 

Price Risk 

Investors who buy shares of the Fund at different times will likely pay different prices.

 

Non-U.S. Investing Risk 

Investing in foreign entities or issuers with underlying non-U.S. assets may expose the Fund to additional risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. entities and issuers. These risks include changes in exchange control regulations, political and social instability, restrictions on the types or amounts of investment, the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions, expropriation, imposition of foreign taxes, less liquid markets and less available information than is generally the case in the U.S., higher transaction costs, less government supervision of exchanges, brokers and issuers, less developed bankruptcy laws, difficulty in enforcing contractual obligations, lack of uniform accounting and auditing standards, currency fluctuations and greater price volatility. Further, the Fund and the issuers in which the Fund invests may have difficulty enforcing creditor’s rights in foreign jurisdictions.

 

Global Risk 

Due to highly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value of the Fund’s securities and its underlying investments may go up or down in response to governmental actions and/or general economic conditions throughout the world. Events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the enactment of trade tariffs, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact the Fund and its investments.

 

Banking Risk 

The possibility of future bank failures poses risks of reduced financial market liquidity at clearing, cash management and other custodial financial institutions. The failure of banks which hold cash on behalf of the Fund, the Fund’s underlying obligors, the sponsors or managers of the issuers in which the Fund invests, or the Fund’s service providers could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment strategies and objectives. For example, if an underlying obligor has a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, such company may experience delays or other disruptions in meeting its obligations and consummating business transactions. Additionally, if an issuer’s manager or sponsor has a commercial relationship with a distressed bank, the manager may experience issues conducting its operations or consummating transactions on behalf of the issuer it manages, which could negatively affect the performance of such issuers (and, therefore, the performance of the Fund).

 

Foreign Investing Risk 

The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers (or U.S. issuers that hold foreign assets) to the extent consistent with the Fund’s investment strategies and objectives. Investing in foreign entities may expose the Fund to additional risks, including exchange control regulations, political and social instability, expropriation, foreign taxes, less liquid and transparent markets, high transaction costs, less government supervision of exchanges, brokers and issuers, less developed bankruptcy laws, difficulty in enforcing contractual obligations, lack of uniform accounting and auditing standards, currency fluctuations and greater price volatility. Further, the Fund, and the issuers in which the Fund invests, may have difficulty enforcing creditors’ rights in foreign jurisdictions.

 

37

 

  

Illiquid Shares Risk

The Fund’s shares are not publicly traded, and the Fund does not expect a secondary market in the shares to develop in the foreseeable future, if ever. Although the Fund, as a fundamental policy, will make quarterly offers to repurchase at least 5% and up to 25% of its outstanding shares at NAV, the number of shares tendered in connection with a repurchase offer may exceed the number of shares the Fund has offered to repurchase, in which case not all of an investor’s shares tendered in that offer will be repurchased. If shareholders tender for repurchase more than the repurchase offer amount for a given repurchase offer, the Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase an additional number of shares not to exceed 2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund on the repurchase request deadline. In connection with any given repurchase offer, the Fund may offer to repurchase only the minimum amount of 5% of its outstanding shares. Hence, an investor may not be able to sell their shares when and/or in the amount desired.

 

4. Derivative Contracts

 

The Fund enters into forward currency contracts to manage its exposure to the foreign currencies in which certain investments are denominated. Risks associated with forward currency contracts include the potential inability of counterparties to fulfill their contractual obligations, as well as fluctuations in fair value and exchange rates.

 

Volume of Derivative Activities

The Fund considers the notional amounts, categorized by primary underlying risk, to be representative of the volume of its derivative activity during the period ended March 31, 2026:

5. Related Party Transactions

 

Investment Advisory Agreement

On October 6, 2023, the Fund entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, effective the date on which the SEC declared the Fund’s registration statement effective, the Fund became subject to a management fee and an incentive fee for the Adviser’s services.

 

Management fee

The management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund’s “Managed Assets” and payable quarterly in arrears. Managed Assets are defined as the Fund’s total assets (including assets attributable to leverage) minus the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities incurred for the purpose of creating leverage). For the period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred a management fee of $0.9 million, with no payable balance as of March 31, 2026.

 

Incentive fee

The incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly, in arrears, based on the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income (“PNII”) for the immediately preceding quarter, and is subject to a hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Fund’s net assets, equal to 2.00% per quarter (8.00% annualized), and a “catch-up” feature. For this purpose, PNII means (a) interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus (b) the Fund’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below) to the Administrator, and any interest expense and/or dividends paid on any issued and outstanding debt or preferred stock, but excluding organizational and offering expenses and the incentive fee) after giving application to any reimbursement or recoupment under the ELA (as defined below). PNII includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Fund has not yet received in cash. PNII excludes any realized or unrealized capital gains or losses.

The Fund pays the Adviser an incentive fee with respect to PNII in each calendar quarter as follows:

 

(i)no incentive fee if PNII does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.00%;

 

(ii)100% of PNII with respect to that portion of such PNII, if any, exceeding the hurdle rate but equal to or less than 2.3529% (the “catch-up”);

For the period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred an incentive fee of $0.9 million, with no payable balance as of March 31, 2026.

 

Administration Agreement

On October 13, 2023, the Fund entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Eagle Point Administration LLC (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of the Adviser. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides a range of administrative services to the Fund, including maintaining financial records, providing accounting services, calculating NAV, overseeing the preparation and filing of the Fund’s tax returns, monitoring compliance with tax laws and regulations, assisting with audits conducted by an independent public accounting firm, managing the printing and disseminating reports to the Fund’s shareholders, maintaining the Fund’s website, supporting investor relations, overseeing the payment of the Fund’s expenses, coordinating the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Fund by third parties, and providing other administrative services as the Fund may designate from time to time.

 

The Fund reimburses the Administrator for costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations and providing personnel (for the avoidance of doubt, including salaries and related payroll expenses) and facilities. Payments under the Administration Agreement are based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead incurred in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, compliance-related fees and expenses, and the Fund’s allocable portion of the compensation of the Fund’s chief compliance officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer and related support staff. The Fund’s allocable portion of such compensation is based on an allocation of the time spent on the Fund-related matters.

 

Certain accounting and other administrative services were delegated by the Administrator to ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (the “Sub Administrator”). To the extent the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Fund pays the fees on a direct basis, without profit to the Administrator.

 

The Administration Agreement may be terminated by the Fund without penalty upon not less than sixty days’ written notice to the Administrator and by the Administrator upon not less than ninety days’ written notice to the Fund. The Administration Agreement is approved by the Board on an annual basis.

 

For the period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund was charged a total of $0.2 million in administration fees consisting of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, relating to services provided by the Administrator and Sub Administrator, respectively, which are included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and, of which $0.2 million was payable as of March 31, 2026.

 

The Adviser and the Administrator are under common ownership by Eagle Point Holdings LP.

 

Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan

Pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees in connection with the SEC's grant of exemptive relief permitting the Fund to issue multiple classes of shares, the Fund pays Eagle Point Securities LLC and ALPS Distributors, Inc., each of which acts as a distributor of the Fund's Shares on a best-efforts basis (each, a "Distributor"), or other authorized intermediaries, fees for distribution-related services and shareholder services. Each Distributor may enter into selected dealer agreements with various brokers, dealers, and other financial intermediaries that have agreed to participate in the distribution of the Shares. Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class S Shares bear distribution and shareholder service fees. Class AA Shares and Class I Shares are not subject to distribution or shareholder service fees.

Each Distributor may pay all or a portion of these fees to participating intermediaries that provide distribution-related and shareholder services to investors in the respective classes.

 

Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement

On October 6, 2023, the Fund entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement agreement (the “ELA”) with the Adviser. Pursuant to the ELA, the Adviser may, at its discretion, pay, directly or indirectly, the Fund’s operating expenses or waive fees payable to the Adviser or affiliates of the Adviser, in an effort to limit the expenses borne by the Fund. Any expense payments or waivers made by the Adviser under the ELA are subject to reimbursement by the Fund for up to three years from the date such support was provided, subject to approval by the Board.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Adviser provided $1.4 million of expense support under the ELA.

On October 6, 2023, the Fund entered into an organizational and offering (“O&O”) expense support and reimbursement agreement (the “O&O Agreement”) with the Adviser. Pursuant to the O&O Agreement, the Fund may pay O&O expenses up to a limit of 1.50% of proceeds raised in the Fund’s offering of its shares. These expenses may be paid directly to third-party vendors or reimbursed to affiliates of the Fund, the Adviser, or the Administrator, subject to the organizational and offering expense limit.

 

As of March 31, 2026, inclusive of proceeds raised by Eagle Point Enhanced Income Investor LLC of $50.1 million, the Fund has raised cumulative net proceeds of $82.5 million. The Fund has paid cumulative O&O costs of $1.0 million, representing 1.27% of proceeds raised to date.

 

In addition to offering expenses incurred by the Fund, the Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, paid O&O costs of approximately $0.6 million for the period from the Fund’s commencement of operations on October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. O&O expenses paid by the Adviser are subject to reimbursement by the Fund up to three years after the date on which such O&O expenses were paid on the Fund’s behalf. Reimbursement must be approved by the Board. The Adviser waived the outstanding O&O balance effective October 15, 2025.

Board of Trustees

The Fund’s Board of Trustees currently consists of six members, four of whom are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of the Fund and the Adviser. The Board is responsible for the overall management and supervision of our business and affairs, including the appointment of advisers and service providers. Key responsibilities of the Board include oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s assets, corporate governance activities, financing arrangements and investment activities.

 

For the period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred $42,501 in the trustee’s compensation, which is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and, of which $42,733 was payable as of March 31, 2026.

 

Dealer Manager Agreement

On March 12, 2024, the Fund entered into a dealer manager agreement (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) with Eagle Point Securities LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), a registered broker-dealer and an affiliate of the Adviser. Pursuant to the terms of the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Dealer Manager will seek to market and otherwise promote the fund through various distribution channels, including regional and independent retail broker-dealers and registered investment advisors.

 

Shareholders purchasing the Fund’s shares may pay a sales load of up to 6.75% of the investment amount. The 6.75% sales load is comprised of up to 6.0% selling commission and up to 0.75% dealer manager fee. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the total amount of sales load earned by the Dealer Manager was $0.7 million. The Dealer Manager may reallow a portion or all of the earned selling commissions and/or the dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers and/or financial advisors for selling shares to their customers.

 

In addition, the Fund may reimburse the Adviser and its affiliates (including the Dealer Manager) for compensation of employees engaged in registering and marketing the Fund’s shares, which includes development of the Fund’s marketing materials and marketing presentations, training and education, and general coordination of the marketing process for the Fund. No such reimbursements were made to the Dealer Manager for the six months ended March 31, 2026.

 

Affiliated Ownership

Additionally, as of March 31, 2026, an unaffiliated insurance company held an aggregate of 61.1% of the Fund’s outstanding common shares and held a non-controlling ownership interest in the Adviser.

 

Affiliated Investments

The Fund has investments that are considered affiliated investments, as defined under the 1940 Act. These represent investments in issuers where the Fund and other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates collectively own 5% or more of the issuer’s outstanding voting securities.

6. Shareholders' Equity

 

The Fund’s authorized shares consist of an unlimited number of common shares of beneficial interest, which the Fund's Board of Trustees has divided into Class AA Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares, and Class S Shares pursuant to the Fund's multiple class plan, adopted in reliance upon exemptive relief granted by the SEC in October 2025. The Fund offers its shares on a continuous basis at the applicable period-end NAV per Share of the relevant class plus any applicable sales load.

 

As each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments and bears the same fees and expenses, except that each class bears different sales loads, distribution and shareholder service fees, and other class-specific expenses, and is subject to different eligibility requirements and minimum investment amounts. Each class has equal voting rights on Fund-wide matters, with exclusive voting rights on matters that exclusively affect such class. Income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class based on the relative net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses (including distribution and shareholder service fees) are charged directly to the class to which they relate.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the following Shares were issued and outstanding:

 

Amounts in millions, except share amounts       
        
Class  Shares Issued and Outstanding  Net Assets 
Class AA   8,060,666  $75.9 
Class A   235,314   2.2 
Class C   13,281   0.1 
Class I   187,566   1.8 
Class S   44,165   0.4

Equity Program  Class AA   Class A   Class C   Class I   Class S 
Offering — Shares Issued   1,103,784    233,617    13,158    186,845    43,810

Repurchases — Cost  $1.6    -    -   $0.0    - 

 

Repurchases of Common Shares by the Fund

The Fund conducts quarterly offers to repurchase at least 5% and up to 25% of its outstanding Shares (in the aggregate, across all classes) at NAV per Share of the relevant class. For the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Fund conducted two quarterly repurchase offers and repurchased the Shares set forth in the table above. Repurchase offers are made on a Fund-wide basis (across all classes), and where the aggregate number of Shares tendered by holders of all classes exceeds the repurchase offer amount, repurchases are effected on a pro rata basis.

 

7. Revolving Credit Facility

 

The Fund may utilize leverage to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. The Fund may obtain leverage using any form of financial leverage instruments, including funds borrowed from banks or other financial institutions, margin facilities, notes or preferred stock and leverage attributable to repurchase agreements or similar transactions. Instruments that create leverage are generally considered to be senior securities under the 1940 Act. The use of leverage creates an opportunity for increased net income and capital appreciation, but also creates additional risks and expenses which will be borne entirely by common shareholders. The Fund’s leverage strategy may not ultimately be successful.

 

On August 22, 2024, the Fund entered into a credit agreement with Texas Capital Bank, as lender, establishing a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a commitment amount of $25.0 million (the “Commitment Amount”). The Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by certain investments held by the Fund, and the Fund has granted a security interest in certain assets to the lender. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), subject to a 1% floor, plus a spread. The Fund paid an upfront fee of $0.1 million and is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on the earlier of (i) the termination of the commitment, as defined by the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility or (ii) the scheduled maturity date of August 22, 2026. The Fund has the option to extend the maturity from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

For the period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund had an average outstanding borrowing of $19.1 million and an average interest rate of 6.51%. Interest expense, inclusive of the unused fee, on the Revolving Credit Facility for the same period was $0.7 million and is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Fund had an outstanding borrowing amount of $16.0 million.

 

See Note 9 “Asset Coverage” for further discussion on the Fund’s calculation of asset coverage with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility.

8. Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Shares

 

As of March 31, 2026, there were 25,000 Preferred Shares authorized, issued and outstanding, with a par value of $1,000 per share.

 

On November 15, 2024, the Fund closed an underwritten private placement offering of 25,000 Preferred Shares, resulting in net proceeds to the Fund of $24.5 million after payment of underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

The Fund is required to redeem all outstanding Preferred Shares on November 15, 2029, at a redemption price of $1,000 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, if any. At any time on or after November 15, 2027, the Fund may, at its sole option, redeem the outstanding Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, from time to time. The holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to receive quarterly cumulative cash distributions at a rate equal to SOFR plus a 450 basis point spread per annum.

 

The Fund has accounted for its Preferred Shares as a liability under ASC Topic 480,  Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), due to their mandatory redemption requirements.

 

Except as otherwise stated in the 1940 Act or the Fund’s declaration of trust, each holder of Preferred Shares is entitled to one vote for each Preferred Share held on each matter submitted to a vote of the Fund’s shareholders. The Fund’s preferred and common shareholders vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to the Fund’s shareholder, except that the Fund’s preferred shareholders have the right to elect two trustees at all times. The remaining members of the Board are elected jointly by preferred and common shareholders voting as a single class.

 

9. Asset Coverage

 

Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Fund is permitted to issue senior securities, including debt securities and preferred shares, and borrow from banks or other financial institutions, provided that the Fund satisfies certain asset coverage requirements.

 

With respect to senior securities that are equity, such as the Preferred Shares, the Fund is required to have asset coverage of at least 200%, as measured at the time of issuance of any such senior securities. Asset coverage is calculated as the ratio of the Fund’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Fund’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness plus the aggregate liquidation preference of any outstanding shares of senior securities that are equity.

 

With respect to senior securities representing indebtedness, such as the Revolving Credit Facility or any bank borrowings (other than temporary borrowings as defined under the 1940 Act), the Fund is required to have asset coverage of at least 300%, as measured at the time of borrowing. Asset coverage is calculated as the ratio of the Fund’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Fund’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness.

 

If the Fund’s asset coverage declines below 300% (or 200%, as applicable), the Fund is prohibited under the 1940 Act from incurring additional debt or issuing additional preferred shares and may be prohibited from declaring certain distributions to its shareholders. In addition, the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility require the Fund to cure any breach of the applicable asset coverage if the Fund fails to maintain the applicable asset coverage, and the terms of the Preferred Shares require the Fund to redeem Preferred Shares if such failure to maintain the applicable asset coverage is not cured by a certain date.

 

45

 

 

    

The following table summarizes the Fund’s asset coverage with respect to its Preferred Shares and Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025:

 

Amounts in millions

 

   As of   As of 
   March 31, 2026   September 30, 2025

(1)The asset coverage for the Revolving Credit Facility is calculated in accordance with Section 18(h) of the 1940 Act, as generally described above.
(2)The asset coverage ratio for senior securities is calculated in accordance with Section 18(h) of the 1940 Act, as generally described above.
(3)Amounts are based on outstanding principal balance as of the date presented.
(4)Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

 

 

10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Fund is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Fund may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Fund’s rights under contracts. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Fund does not expect these proceedings will have a material effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund provides financing through senior secured credit facilities, which may include revolving loan commitments and delayed drawdowns of senior secured term loans. Additionally, the Fund may make commitments to and invest in structured finance securities.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Fund had total unfunded commitments of $65.3 million, which could be extended at the option of the borrower. These commitments relate to the Fund’s investment in CFO equity, equity securities, regulatory capital relief securities, preferred stock, loans and notes and rated feeder fund equity investments. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund had recorded $19,787 in liabilities for these unfunded commitments.

 

11. Indemnifications

 

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, during the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts containing a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements cannot be known; however, the Fund expects any risk of loss to be remote.

 

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncement

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced annual income tax disclosures, including disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The standard is effective for the Fund’s annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Adviser evaluated the disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-09 and determined that adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements or related disclosures.

 

46

 

 

  

13. Subsequent Events

 

Pursuant to the Fund’s continuous offering, during the period from April 1, 2026 through May 21, 2026, the Fund issued common shares for total net proceeds to the Fund of $15.8 million.

 

Management of the Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through May 21, 2026, the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Management has determined that, other than the events described above, there are no additional events requiring disclosure or adjustment in the consolidated financial statements and related notes through this date.
