LIBOR loans are typically indexed to7-day,30-day,60-day,90-day or180-day LIBOR rates (Weekly,1M L, 2M L, 3M L or 6M L, respectively) at the borrower’s option. LIBOR loans may be subject to interest floors. As of March 31, 2020, rates for weekly 1M L, 2M L, 3M L and 6M L are 0.50%, 0.99%, 1.26%, 1.45% and 1.18%, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2020
1. Organization
AB Private Credit Investors Corporation (the “Fund”“Fund,” “we,” “our,” and “us”), an externally managed,non-diversified,closed-end,non-diversified management investment company that iselected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), was incorporated under the laws of the state of Maryland on February 6, 2015. The Fund was formed to invest in primary-issue middle-market credit opportunities that are directly sourced and privately negotiated. AB Private Credit Investors LLC serves as the Fund’s external investment adviser (the “Adviser”).
Prior to 2017, there were no significant operations other than the sale and issuance of 100 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, on June 27, 2016, at an aggregate purchase price of $1,000 ($10.00 per share) to the Adviser. The sale of common shares was approved by the unanimous consent of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In addition, prior to commencing operations in 2017, on May 26, 2017, the Fund issued and sold an additional 2,400 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 at an aggregate purchase price of $24,000 ($10.00 per share) to the Adviser. That sale was also approved by the unanimous consent of the Fund’s Board.
The Fund is conducting private offerings (each a “Private Offering”) of its common stock to investors in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). At the closing of any Private Offering, each investor will make a capital commitment (a “Capital Commitment”) to purchase shares of the Fund’s common stock pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with the Fund.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund is an investment company under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies. ActualThe Fund has prepared the consolidated financial statements and related financial information pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form10-Q and Articles 6 and 10 of RegulationS-X. Accordingly, we have not included in this quarterly report all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim period presented in this report reflects all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results could differ from those estimates.operations. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.
The functional currency of the Fund is U.S. dollars and these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformitythat currency.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation, with U.S. GAAP, which requires the useno significant effect on our financial condition, results of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.operations or cash flows.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of demand deposits.deposits and money market accounts. Cash is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Fund maintains deposits of its cash with financial institutions, and, at times, cash held in bank accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. The Fund considers all highly liquid investments, with original maturities of less than ninety days, as cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income on debt instruments is accrued and recognized for those issuers who are currently paying in full or expected to pay in full. For those issuers who are in default or expected to default, interest is not accrued and is only recognized when received. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Fund otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Fund will place the loan onnon-accrual status and will cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Fund generally restoresnon-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the management’s judgment, is likely to remain current. Interest income and expense include discounts accreted and premiums amortized on certain debt instruments as determined in good faith by the Adviser and calculated using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discounts and market discounts or premiums are capitalized as part of the underlying cost of the investments and accreted or amortized over the life of the investment as interest income.
Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
Certain investments in debt securities may contain a contractualpayment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision. The PIK provisions generally feature the obligation, or the option, at each interest payment date of making interest payments in (i) cash, (ii) additional debt or (iii) a combination of cash and additional debt. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in the investment’s credit agreement, is accrued as interest income and recorded as interest receivable up to the interest payment date. On the interest payment date, the accrued interest receivable attributable to PIK is added to the principal balance of the investment. When additional debt is received on the interest payment date, it typically has the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, as the original loan. PIK interest generally becomes due on the investment’s maturity date or call date.
The Fund intendsmay earn various fees during the life of the loans. Such fees include, but are not limited to, electsyndication, commitment, administration, prepayment and amendment fees, some of which are paid to the Fund on an ongoing basis. These fees and any other income are recognized as earned.
Credit Facility Related Costs, Expenses and Deferred Financing Costs
The Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 4) is recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value. Interest expense and unused commitment fees on the Revolving Credit Facility are recorded on an accrual basis. Unused commitment fees are included in interest and borrowing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred financing costs include capitalized expenses related to the closing of the Revolving Credit Facility. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed on the straight-line basis over the contractual term. The amortization of such costs is included in interest and borrowing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, with any unamortized amounts included in deferred financing costs on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.
Notes Payable Related Costs, Expenses and Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs
The Notes (as defined in Note 4) are recorded at carrying value. Interest expense on notes payable is recorded on an accrual basis. Debt issuance costs relating to notes payable are amortized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term and included in interest and borrowing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized debt issuance costs are included as a direct reduction of the carrying value of the notes payable (i.e. a contra liability).
Upon early termination or partial principal pay down of the Notes, the unamortized costs related to the Notes are accelerated into interest and borrowing expenses on the Fund’s consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
ASC 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are“more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet themore-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Based on its analysis of its tax position for all open tax years (the current and prior two years), the Fund has concluded that it does not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Fund has elected to be treated and intends to continue to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.amended (the “Code”). So long as the Fund is able to maintain its status as a RIC, it intends not to be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders, if any. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Fund is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income annually, meet diversification and income requirements quarterly, meet gross income requirements annually and file Form1120-RIC, as definedprovided by the Internal Revenue Code.
In the normal course of business,order for the Fund entersnot to be subject to U.S. federal excise taxes, it must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into general business contractsaccount certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for theone-year period ending
on October 31 of the calendar year and (iii) any net ordinary income and capital gains in excess of capital losses for preceding years that containwere not distributed during such years. The Fund, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a variety4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on this income. The Fund will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Fund accrued excise taxes of representations$0 and warranties$0, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, $0 and $0, respectively, of accrued excise taxes remained payable.
The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which the Fund invests. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gain (loss) as such income and/or gains are earned.
The Fund remains subject to examination by U.S. federal and state jurisdictions, as well as international jurisdictions, and upon completion of these examinations (if undertaken by the taxing jurisdiction) tax adjustments may be necessary and retroactive to all open tax years.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may providediffer from those amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. The Fund may pay distributions in excess of its taxable net investment income. This excess would be atax-free return of capital in the period and reduce the stockholder’s tax basis in its shares. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent they are charged or credited topaid-in capital in excess of par, accumulated undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gain (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax treatment of certain loans and the tax characterization of income andnon-deductible expenses. These differences are generally determined in conjunction with the preparation of the Fund’s annual RIC tax return. Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by the Adviser. The Fund may pay distributions to its stockholders in a year in excess of its net ordinary income and capital gains for indemnification.that year and, accordingly, a portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However,Fund intends to timely distribute to its stockholders substantially all of its annual taxable income for each year, except that the Fund expectsmay retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and, depending upon the risklevel of material lossthe Fund’s taxable income earned in a year, the Fund may choose to carry forward taxable income for distribution in the following year and pay any applicable U.S. federal excise tax. The specific tax characteristics of the Fund’s distributions will be remotereported to stockholders after the end of the calendar year. All distributions will be subject to available funds, and no amounts have been recorded in the financial statement for such arrangements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-18,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)(“ASU2016-18”), which requiresassurance can be given that the statement ofFund will be able to declare such distributions in future periods.
The Fund has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for stockholders to receive dividends or other distributions declared by the Board in cash flows explainunless a stockholder elects to “opt in” to the change duringdividend reinvestment plan. As a result, if the period inBoard declares a cash distribution, then the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally describes as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. ASU2016-18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.
Management does not believe this accounting standard, which is not yet effective, if currently adopted, wouldstockholders who have a material effect on“opted in” to the accompanying financial statements. The Adviser is assessing the impact this accounting standarddividend reinvestment plan will have oncetheir cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, rather than receiving the Fund commences investment activities.cash distribution.
3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions
Advisory Agreement
On July 5, 2017,November 13, 2019, the Fund’s board of directors approvedFund entered into the investmentAmended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”), replacing the advisory agreement the Fund entered into with the Adviser on July 27, 2017 (the “Advisory
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Fund will pay the Adviser, quarterly in arrears, a base management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.50%. The base management fee is calculated based on a percentage of the average outstanding assets of the Fund (which equals the gross value of equity and debt instruments, including investments made utilizing leverage), excluding cash and cash equivalents, during such fiscal quarter. The average outstanding assets will beis calculated by taking the average of the amount of assets of the Fund at the beginning and end of each month that occurs during the calculation period. The base management fee will beis calculated and paid quarterly in arrears but will be accrued monthly by the Fund over the fiscal quarter for which such base management fee is paid. The base management fee for any partial month or quarter will beis appropriately prorated. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Fund incurred a management fee of $1,352,351, of which $1,227,046 was voluntarily waived by the Adviser. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Fund incurred a management fee of $615,859, of which $63,171 was voluntarily waived by the Adviser. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, $1,147,126 and $1,053,696, respectively, of accrued management fee remained payable.
The Fund will also pay the Adviser an incentive fee that provides the Adviser with a share of the income that the Adviser generates for the Fund. The incentive fee will consist of an income-based incentive fee component and a capital-gains component, which are largely independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not.
Income-Based Incentive Fee: The income-based incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Fund’s net investment income prior to any deductions with respect to such income-based incentive fees and capital gains incentive fees(“Pre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income” or “PIFNII”) for the quarter, as further described below.Pre-incentive fee net investment income PIFNII means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, managerial and consulting fees or
other fees the Fund receives from portfolio companies) that the Fund accrues during the fiscal quarter, minus the Fund’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) we have entered into with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Administrator”), and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding indebtedness or preferred stock, respectively, but excluding, for avoidance of doubt, the income-based incentive fee accrued under U.S. GAAP).Pre-incentive fee net investment income PIFNII also includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kindpay-in-kind interest and zero couponzero-coupon securities), accrued income that the Fund has not yet received in cash. The Adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse the Fund for any part of the income-based incentive fees it received that was based on accrued interest that the Fund never actually received.
Pre-incentive Fee Net Investment IncomePIFNII does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Because of the structure of the income-based incentive fee, it is possible that the Fund may accrue such income-based incentive fee in a quarter where the Fund incurs a net loss. For example, if the Fund receivesPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII in excess of a hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, the Fund will accrue the applicable income-based incentive fee even if the Fund has incurred a realized and/or unrealized capital loss in that quarter. However, cash payment of the income-based incentive fee may be deferred in this situation, subject to the restrictions detailed at the end of this section.
Description of Quarterly Incentive Fee Calculations
We payThe Fund pays the Adviser an income-based incentive fee with respect toPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII in each calendar quarter as follows:
No income-based incentive fee in any calendar quarter in whichPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII does not exceed 1.5% per quarter (approximately 6%(6% per annum), the “6% Hurdle Rate”;
100% ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII with respect to that portion of suchPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, PIFNII, if any, that exceeds the 6% Hurdle Rate but is less than 1.67% in any calendar quarter (the “6%Catch-up Cap”), approximately 6.67% per annum. This portion ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII (which exceeds the 6% Hurdle Rate but is less than the 6%Catch-up Cap) is referred to as the “6%Catch-up.” The 6%Catch-up is meant to provide the Adviser with 10.0% of thePre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII as if hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeded 1.67% but was less than 1.94% in any calendar quarter; and
10.0% of the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, PIFNII, if any, that exceeds the 6%Catch-up Cap, but is less than 1.94% (the “7% Hurdle Rate”), approximately 7.78% per annum. The 7% Hurdle Rate is meant to limit the Adviser to 10% of thePre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII until the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII exceeds 1.94%, approximately 7.78% per annum; and
15.0% of the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, PIFNII, if any, that exceeds the 7%Catch-up Cap, but is less than 2.35% (the “8% Hurdle Rate”, approximately 9.41% per annum). The 8% Hurdle Rate is meant to limit the Adviser to 15% of thePre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII until the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII exceeds 2.06%2.35%, approximately 9.41% per annum; and
100% ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII with respect to that portion of suchPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, PIFNII, if any, that exceeds the 8% Hurdle Rate but is less than 2.50% in any calendar quarter (the “8%Catch-up Cap”), approximately 10% per annum. This portion ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which PIFNII(which exceeds the 8% Hurdle Rate but is less than the 8%Catch-up cap) is referred to as the “8%Catch-up”. The 8%Catch-up is meant to provide the Adviser with 20.0% of thePre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income PIFNII as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeded 2.50% in any calendar quarter; and
20.0% of the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, PIFNII, if any, that exceeds 2.50% in any calendar quarter.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Fund incurred income-based incentive fees of $769,023, of which $486,784, was voluntarily waived by the Adviser. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Fund incurred income-based incentive fees of $106,087, of which $76,072, was voluntarily waived by the Adviser. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $1,331,530, and $1,049,291 remained payable.
Capital Gains Incentive Fee: The capital gains incentive fee is determined and payable at the end of each fiscal year as 17.5%20% of aggregate cumulative realized capital gains from the date of the Fund’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the end of that year, computed net of all aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized depreciation through the end of such year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. For the foregoing purpose, “aggregate cumulative realized capital gains” will not include any unrealized appreciation. It should be noted, however, that the Fund will accrue an incentive fee for accounting purposes taking into account any unrealized appreciation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For accounting purposes only, in orderwe are required under GAAP to reflect the theoretical capital gains incentive fee that would be payable foraccrue a given period as if all unrealized gains were realized, the Fund will accrue ahypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon net realized gains and unrealized depreciation for that calendar year (in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement), plus unrealized appreciation on investments held at the end of the period. The accrual of this hypothetical capital gains incentive fee assumes all unrealized capital gain and loss is realized in order to reflect a hypothetical capital gains incentive fee that would be payable to the Adviser at each measurement date. The capital gains incentive fee is not subject to any minimum return to stockholders. If such amount is negative, then no capital gains incentive fee will be payable for such year. Additionally, if the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement is terminated as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date will be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying the capital gains incentive fee.
Since inception, no capital gains incentive fees have been incurred or are payable as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019.
The amount of capital gains incentive fee expense related to a hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to the Adviser in the event of a complete liquidation of the Fund’s portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement on such date. Also, it should be noted that the capital gains incentive fee expense fluctuates with the Fund’s overall investment results.
The Fund will defer cash payment of any income-based incentive fee and/or any capital gains incentive fee otherwise earned by the Adviser if during the most recent four full fiscal quarter periodperiods ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made, the sum of (a) thepre-incentive fee net investment income, PIFNII, and (b) the realized capital gain / loss and (c) unrealized capital appreciation/ depreciation expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets, is less than 6.0%. Any such deferred fees are carried over for payment in subsequent calculation periods to the extent such payment is payable under the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement.
Administration Agreement and Expense Reimbursement Agreement
We have entered into the Administration Agreement with the Administrator and a separate expense reimbursement agreement with the Adviser (the “Expense Reimbursement Agreement”) under which any allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs will be reimbursed by the Fund. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator will be responsible for providing us with clerical, bookkeeping, recordkeeping and other administrative services. We will reimburse the Adviser an amount equal to our allocable portion (subject to the review of our Board) of its overhead resulting from its obligations under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement, including the allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs.
Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement
On September 29, 2017, the Fund and the Adviser entered into an agreement (the “Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement”) to limit certain of the Fund’s Operating Expenses, as defined in the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement,below, to no more than 1.5% of the Fund’s average quarterly gross assets. To achieve this percentage limitation, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain Operating Expenses on a quarterly basis (any such payment by the Adviser, an “Expense Payment”) and the Fund has agreed to later repay such amounts (any such payment by the Fund, a “Reimbursement Payment”), pursuant to the terms of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement. The actual percentage of Operating Expenses paid by the Fund in any quarter after deducting any Expense Payment, as a percentage of the Fund’s average quarterly gross assets, is referred to as the “Percentage Limit.”
Any Expense Payment by the Adviser pursuant to the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement will be subject to repayment by the Fund on a quarterly basis within the three years following the fiscal quarter of the Fund in which the Operating Expenses were paid or absorbed, if the total Operating Expenses for the current quarter, including Reimbursement Payments, expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average gross assets during such quarter is less than the then-current Percentage Limit, if any, and the Percentage Limit that was in effect at the time when the AdvisorAdviser reimbursed the Operating Expenses that are the subject of the repayment, subject to certain provisions of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, as described below. For purposes of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, “Operating Expenses” means the Fund’s Total Operating Expenses (as defined below), excluding base management fees, incentive fees, distribution and shareholderstockholder servicing fees, financing fees and costs, interest expense, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses and “Total Operating Expenses” means all of the Fund’s operating costs and expenses incurred, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The calculation of average net assets will be consistent with such periodic calculations of average net assets in the Fund’s financial statements.
However, no Reimbursement Payment for any quarter will be made if: (1) the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share (as defined below) declared by the Fund at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is less than or equal to the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates, or (2) the Fund’s Operating Expense Ratio at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is greater than or equal to the Operating Expense Ratio (as defined below) at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates. For purposes of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, “Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share” means the annualized rate (based on a365- day year) of regular cash distributions per share exclusive of returns of capital, distribution rate reductions due to distribution and shareholderstockholder fees, and declared special dividends or special distributions, if any. The “Operating Expense Ratio” is calculated by dividing Operating Expenses in any quarter by the Fund’s average net assets in such quarter.
The specific amount of expenses paid by the Adviser, if any, will be determined at the end of each quarter. The Fund or the Adviser may terminate the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement at any time,
with or without notice. The Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of (a) the termination of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, or (b) the board of directorsBoard of the Fund makesmaking a determination to dissolve or liquidate the Fund. Upon termination of the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, the Fund will be required to fund any Expense Payments, subject to the aforementioned requirements per the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, that have not been reimbursed by the Fund to the Adviser.
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the amount of Expense Payments provided by the Adviser since inception is $1,002,147. Management believes that a Reimbursement Payment by the Fund to the Adviser were not probable under the terms of the Expense Support Agreement as of September 30, 2017.$4,874,139.

Transfer Agency Agreement
On September 26, 2017, the Fund and AllianceBernstein Investor Services, Inc. (“ABIS”), an affiliate of the Fund, entered into an agreement pursuant to which ABIS will provide transfer agent services to the Fund. The Fund bears the expenses related to the agreement with ABIS.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Fund accrued $10,758 and $4,662 in transfer agent fees, respectively. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $20,155 and $9,397, respectively, of accrued transfer agent fees remained payable.
4. OrganizationalBorrowings
Credit Facilities
On November 15, 2017, the Fund entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to establish a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC”) as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”). The initial maximum commitment amount (the “Maximum Commitment”) under the Revolving Credit Facility was $30 million and Offering Expensesmay be increased in a minimum amount of $10 million and in $5 million increments thereof with the consent of HSBC or reduced upon request of the Fund. As of January 31, 2019, the Fund increased the Maximum Commitment to $50 million. So long as no request for borrowing is outstanding, the Fund may terminate the lenders’ commitments (“Commitments”) or reduce the Maximum Commitments by giving prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent. Any reduction of the Maximum Commitments shall be in an amount equal to $10 million or multiples thereof; and in no event, shall a reduction by the Fund reduce the Commitments to $35 million or less (in each case, except for a termination of all the Commitments). Proceeds under the Credit Agreement may be used for any purpose permitted under our organizational documents, including general corporate purposes such as the making of investments. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary covenants and events of default, with customary cure and notice provisions. As of March 31, 2020, the Fund is in compliance with these covenants. The Fund’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Capital Commitments and capital contributions to the Fund.
Organization
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Fund’s election at the time of drawdown, at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, Adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the applicable Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement); and (ii) with respect to Reference Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the greatest of: (x) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by HSBC as its prime rate, (y) the rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers on such day, plus two hundred basis points (2.00%), provided that if such rate is not so published for any day that is a Business Day (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the average of the quotation for such day on such transactions received by the Administrative Agent, from three (3) Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by the Administrative Agent and, upon request of Borrowers (as defined in the Credit Agreement), with notice of such quotations to the Borrowers and (z) except during any period of time during which LIBOR isunavailable, one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus one hundred ninety basis points (1.90%). The Fund will also pay an unused commitment fee of 35 basis points (0.35%) on any unused commitments.
The Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on November 11, 2020, subject to the Fund’s option to extend the maturity date for up to one additional term not longer than 364 days, subject to the following conditions: (i) each of the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and the Administrative Agent consents to the extension in their sole discretion; (ii) the Fund has paid an extension fee to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the extending Lenders consenting to such extension in an amount agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers at the time of the extension and as set forth in the applicable extension request; (iii) no potential default or event of default has occurred and is continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (iv) or on November 11, 2020; and (v) the Fund has delivered an extension request to the Administrative Agent not more than one hundred twenty (120) days or less than forty-five (45) days prior to November 11, 2020.
On January 30, 2019, ABPCIC Funding entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Barclays Credit Facility”) with Barclays Bank PLC, New York Branch (“Barclays”) as facility agent (in such capacity, the “Facility Agent”) and U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), collateral administrator (in such capacity, the “Collateral Administrator”) and custodian (in such capacity, the “Custodian”). The Barclays Credit Facility was terminated on August 9, 2019.
All of the collateral pledged to lenders by ABPCIC Funding under the Barclays Credit Facility was held in the custody of the Custodian under an account control agreement by and among ABPCIC Funding, the Collateral Agent and the Custodian. The Collateral Administrator maintained and performed certain collateral administration services with respect to the collateral pursuant to a collateral administration agreement among ABPCIC Funding, the Adviser and the Collateral Administrator. Borrowings under the Barclays Credit Facility were secured by all of the assets held by ABPCIC Funding. Pursuant to a collateral management agreement (the “Collateral Management Agreement”) by and between ABPCIC Funding and the Adviser as collateral manager, the Adviser performed certain duties with respect to the purchase and management of the assets securing the Barclays Credit Facility. The Adviser elected to waive any fees that would otherwise be payable under the Barclays Credit Facility and the Collateral Management Agreement. ABPCIC Funding was responsible for reimbursing the expenses incurred by the Adviser in the performance of its obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement other than any ordinary overhead expenses, which were not required to be reimbursed.
The Barclays Credit Facility provided for borrowings in an aggregate amount up to $150 million. Borrowings under the Barclays Credit Facility bore interest paid on an annual adjusted LIBOR for the relevant interest period, plus an applicable spread of 2.25%. ABPCIC Funding would also pay an unused commitment fee of .50% and the commitment would have expired on July 30, 2020. Interest and fees were paid quarterly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the Barclays Credit Facility would have matured, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder would have been due and payable, on the earlier of (i) January 20, 2029, (ii) the date on which ABPCIC Funding issues collateralized loan obligation securities in a transaction for which the sole arranger is Barclays (or an affiliate thereof) or (iii) upon certain other events which result in accelerated maturity under the credit facility. Borrowing under the Barclays Credit Facility was subject to certain restrictions contained in the 1940 Act. The Barclays Credit Facility matured and was paid down in 2019 in connection with the issuance of the Notes (as defined below). For a discussion of the CLO Transaction “See – Note 4. Collateralized Loan Obligations.”
The Fund’s outstanding borrowings through the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2020 were as follows:

Collateralized Loan Obligations
On August 9, 2019, CLO VI (the “Issuer”) and ABPCI Direct Lending Fund CLO VI LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the“Co-Issuer,” and together with the Issuer, the“Co-Issuers”), each a newly formed special purpose vehicle, completed a $300,500,000 term debt securitization (the “CLO Transaction”). The stated reinvestment date is August 9, 2022.

The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from registration.
The Adviser serves as collateral manager to the Issuer pursuant to a collateral management agreement between the Adviser and the Issuer (the “CLO Collateral Management Agreement”). For so long as the Adviser serves as collateral manager to the Issuer, the Adviser will elect to irrevocably waive any base management fee or subordinated interest to which it may be entitled under the CLO Collateral Management Agreement. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Fund incurred a collateral management fee of $459,059, which was voluntarily waived by the Adviser.
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Notes were $253,714,301 and $229,836,633, respectively.

LIBOR Risk—The Fund may invest in certain debt securities, derivatives or other financial instruments that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for various interest rate calculations. In July 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear if at that time LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. In addition, in April 2018, the Federal Reserve System, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, announced the replacement of LIBOR with a new index, calculated by short-term repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, called the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or the “SOFR.” At this time, it is not possible to predict whether SOFR will attain market traction as a LIBOR replacement. Additionally, the future of LIBOR at this time is uncertain. Potential changes, or uncertainty related to such potential changes, may adversely affect the market for LIBOR-based securities, including our portfolio of LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities, or the cost of organizing asour borrowings. In addition, changes
or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR may result in a Maryland corporation,sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on the market for LIBOR-based securities, including the value of the LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities in our portfolio, or the cost of legal servicesour borrowings. Additionally, if LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate our credit arrangements extending beyond 2021 with our portfolio companies that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate and other fees pertainingcertain of our existing credit facilities to replace LIBOR with the new standard that is established. The potential effect of thephase-out or replacement of LIBOR on our cost of capital and net investment income cannot yet be determined.
5. Fair Value Measurement
In accordance with ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as of the reporting date.
Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s organization, allown assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are expensed as incurred. Offering costs include, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertainingsignificant to the preparationoverall valuation.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments at the reporting date).
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. If a fair value measurement uses price data vendors or observable market price quotations, that measurement is a Level 2 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.
The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Fund. The Fund considers observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.
Valuation of Investments
Investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board, based on input of management, the audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing twelve-month period under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter.
The fair values of loan investments based upon pricing data vendors or observable market price quotations are generally categorized as Level 2; however, those priced using models with significant unobservable inputs are categorized as Level 3.
In determining the fair value of the Fund’s private placement memorandumLevel 3 debt and other offering documents, including travel-related expenses.equity positions, the Adviser uses the following factors where relevant: loan to value (“LTV”) based on an enterprise value determined using the original purchase price, public equity comparable, recent M&A transaction, and a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis, and yields from comparable loans, comparable high yield bonds, high yield indexes and loan indexes (“comparable yields”).
Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations, however, estimated fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available market for the securities existed and the differences could be material.

Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide a variety of general indemnifications. Any exposure to the Fund under these arrangements could involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. Currently, no such claims exist or are expected to arise and, accordingly, the Fund has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan
On September 26, 2017, the Fund adopted a dividend reinvestment plan, which was amended and restated on August 6, 2018 (the “DRIP”). Pursuant to the DRIP (both before and after it was amended), stockholders receive dividends or other distributions in cash unless a stockholder elects to reinvest his or her dividends and other distributions. As a result of adopting the DRIP, if the Board authorizes, and the Fund declares, a cash dividend or distribution, stockholders who have opted into the DRIP will have their cash dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, rather than receiving cash.
The following tables summarize shares distributed pursuant to the DRIP during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 to stockholders who opted into the DRIP:

Share Repurchase Plan
On March 23, 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”) was signed into law. The SBCAA, among other things, modifies the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act to reduce the required asset coverage ratio applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% subject to certain approval, time and disclosure requirements (including either stockholder approval or approval of a majority of the directors who are not interested persons of the BDC and who have no financial interest in the proposal). On September 26, 2018, the Fund’s stockholders approved the reduction of the asset coverage ratio applicable to the Fund from 200% to 150%. Pursuant to the SBCAA, on November 27, 2018, the Fund extended to its stockholders as of such date the opportunity to sell the shares held by that stockholder as of such date, with 25% of those shares to be repurchased in each of the four calendar quarters following the calendar quarter in which the approval was obtained.
There were no shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The following analysis of ourthe Fund’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with ourthe Fund’s financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q.Report.
Overview
AB Private Credit Investors Corporation (the “Fund”)The Fund was formed on February 6, 2015 as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. WeThe Fund is structured as an externally managed,non-diversified,closed-end management investment company. The Fund was formed to invest primarily in primary-issue middle-market credit opportunities that are currently in the development stagedirectly sourced and have notprivately negotiated. The Fund commenced investment operations. Since inception, there has been no investment or operational activity. In conjunction with our formation, we issued and sold (i) 100 shares of common stock, par value $0.01,operations on June 27, 2016, at an aggregate purchase price of $1,000 ($10.00 per share) and (ii) 2,400 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, on May 26,November 15, 2017 to(“Commencement”). The Fund is advised by AB Private Credit Investors LLC.
On October 6, 2016 we filedLLC (the “Adviser”), which is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “SEC”“Advisers Act”). The Adviser is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring the Fund’s portfolio on an ongoing basis. State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Administrator”) an electionprovides the administrative services necessary for the Fund to operate.
The Fund has elected to be treated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). WeThe Fund has also intend to electelected to be treated and intendintends to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. While we intend to elect to be treated as a RIC as soon as practicable, we may have difficulty satisfying the asset diversification requirements as we deploy initial capital and build our portfolio. To the extent that we have net taxable income prior to our qualification as RIC, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such income. As a BDC and a RIC, respectively, we arethe Fund is and will be required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of ourits assets in “qualifying assets,” source of income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of ourits taxable income andtax-exempt tax exempt interest.
Our investment activities are managed by our external investment adviser, AB Private Credit Investors LLC (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser thatThe Fund is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. We intend to enter into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with a third party administrator (the “Administrator”), pursuant to which the Administrator will provide the administrative services necessary for us to operate.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. We2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The Fund will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years following anits initial public offering, if any, although if the market value of ourits common stock that is held bynon-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, wethe Fund would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. For so long as we remainthe Fund remains an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, weit will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.
Effects ofCOVID-19 on the Fund’s Results of Operations
The rapid spread ofCOVID-19, a novel strain of coronavirus causing respiratory illness(“COVID-19”) has resulted in temporary closures of many corporate offices, retail stores, and manufacturing facilities and factories around the world, which could materially disrupt the demand for the Fund’s portfolio companies’ products and services. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declaredCOVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. TheCOVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the U.S. economy and supply chains worldwide have been interrupted, slowed or rendered inoperable, with an increasing number of individuals becoming ill, subject to quarantine, or otherwise unable to work and/or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions. Governmental mandates to control an outbreak may require forced shutdown of the Fund’s portfolio companies’ facilities for extended or indefinite periods. The extent of the impact of theCOVID-19 outbreak on the financial performance of the Fund’s current and future investments will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the virus, related advisories and restrictions, and the health of the financial markets and economy as a result ofCOVID-19, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Adverse impacts on the Fund’s investments may have a material adverse impact on the Fund’s future net investment income, the fair value of the Fund’s portfolio investments, the Fund’s financial condition and results of operations and the financial condition of the Fund’s portfolio companies.
The Fund has had a reduction in its net asset value as of March 31, 2020, as compared to its net asset value as of December 31, 2019, which is conductingprimarily the result of the impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in net asset value as of March 31, 2020, primarily resulted from an increase in the aggregate unrealized depreciation of the Fund’s investment portfolio due to decreases in fair value of investments attributable to theCOVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2020, the Fund is in compliance with its asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act. In addition, the Fund is not in default of any of the covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2020. However, any continued increase in unrealized depreciation of the Fund’s investment portfolio or further significant reductions in the Fund’s net asset value as a result of the effects of theCOVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, increase the risk of breaching the relevant covenants and requirements.
The Fund will continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation surrounding theCOVID-19 pandemic and guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities, and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. The majority of the Fund’s exposure is within sectors that the Fund expects to be relatively insulated from the impact ofCOVID-19 and related social distancing measures, such as software and technology enabled services, pharmaceutical and healthcare information technology, digital infrastructure and services, and other mission critical business services. The Fund has no direct investments in commercial aviation companies, and the Fund believes that it has limited exposure to sectors currently experiencing challenges, such as gym franchises (comprising approximately 1.4% of the Fund’s portfolio as of March 31, 2020), energy (comprising approximately 5.6% of the Fund’s portfolio as of March 31, 2020) and quick service restaurants (comprising approximately 3.1% of the Fund’s portfolio as of March 31, 2020). In sectors where the Fund believes that it has modest exposure, such as health care services/practice management (comprising approximately 20.5% of the Fund’s portfolio as of March 31, 2020), the Fund is closely monitoring these companies. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside the Fund’s control requiring it to adjust its plan of operation. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Fund cannot reasonably estimate the impact ofCOVID-19 on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future.
The Private Offering
The Fund enters into separate subscription agreements with investors providing for the private offerings (each a “Private Offering”)placement of its common stock to investors(the “Shares”) in reliance on an exemptionexemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”Act,” and such offering, the “Private Offering”). At the closing of any Private Offering, eachEach investor will makemakes a capital commitment (a “Capital Commitment”) to purchase shares of the Fund’s common stockShares pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with the Fund.agreement. Investors will beare required to fund drawdownsmake capital contributions to purchase shares of the Fund’s common stock up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitment on anas-needed basisShares each time the Fund delivers a capital call notice, to its investors. The Fund anticipates commencing its loan origination andwhich is issued based on the Fund’s anticipated investment activities contemporaneously withand capital needs, delivered at least 10 business days prior to the initial drawdown fromrequired funding date, provided that investors inmay fund such requirements sooner than the initial Private Offering.

Generally, purchases of the Fund’s Shares are made pro rata in accordance with each investor’s Capital Commitment, in an amount not to exceed each investor’s remaining capital commitment (“Initial Closing”Remaining Commitment”) of its Private Offering after entering into subscription agreements (collectively,, at aper-Share price equal to the “Subscription Agreements”) with several investors, including the Adviser, providing for the private placementnet asset value per share of the Fund’s common shares. stock subject to any adjustments. Pursuant to the Private Offering, the Fund’s initial closing occurred on September 29, 2017.
The Fund may accept additional Capital Commitments quarterly (“Subsequent Closings”) from new investors as well as existing investors that wish to increase their commitment and shareholding in the Fund. These Subsequent Closings are expected to occur on a calendar-quarter end based on investor interest as well as the state of the market and the Fund’s capacity to invest the additional capital in a reasonable period. Each Capital Commitment is for the life of the Fund or for a shorter period based on the investor’s liquidation election, subject to the Fund’s receipt of exemptive relief that would permit stockholders to liquidate their investments pursuant to transactions that are currently prohibited by the 1940 Act and would require an SEC order in order to be established.
Revenues
The Fund’s investment objective is to generate current income and prioritize capital preservation through a portfolio that primarily invests in directly-sourced, privately-negotiated, secured, middle market loans. The Fund intends to primarily invest in middle market businesses based in the United States. The Fund expects that the primary use of proceeds by the companies in which the Fund invests will be for leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions and growth capital.
The Fund will seek to build its portfolio in a defensive manner that minimizes cyclical and correlated risks across individual names and sector verticals by targeting companies with strong underlying business models and durable intrinsic value.
The Fund will primarily hold secured loans, which encompass traditional first lien, unitranche and second lien loans, but may also invest in mezzanine, structured preferred stock andnon-control equityco-investment opportunities. The Fund will seek to deliver attractive risk adjusted returns with lower volatility and low correlation relative to the public credit markets. The Adviser believes the Fund’s flexibility to invest across the capital structure and liquidity spectrum will allow the Fund to optimize investor risk-adjusted returns.
Expenses
Under the termsAmended and Restated Advisory Agreement, the Fund’s primary operating expenses will include the payment of fees to the Adviser, the Fund’s allocable portion of overhead expenses under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement and other operating costs described below.

Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Fund otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Fund will place the loan onnon-accrual status and will cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Fund generally restoresnon-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the management’s judgment, is likely to remain current. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and as of December 31, 2016, we have not commenced2019, the Fund had no investments that were onnon-accrual status.

Revenues
Our investment objective is to generate current incomeInterest and prioritize capital preservation through a portfolio that primarily invests in directly-sourced, privately-negotiated, secured, middle market loans. We intend to primarily invest in middle market businesses based in the United States. We expect that the primary use of proceeds by the companies in which we invest will be for leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, mergers and acquisitions and growth capital.
We will primarily hold secured loans, which encompass traditional first lien, uni-tranche and second lien loans, but may also invest in mezzanine, structured preferred stock andnon-control equityco-investment opportunities. We will seek to deliver attractive risk adjusted returns with lower volatility and low correlation relative to the public credit markets.

outstanding assets of the Fund (which equals the gross value of equity and debt instruments, including investments made utilizing leverage), excluding cash and cash equivalents, during such fiscal quarter and (ii) an incentive fee based on ourthe Fund’s performance.

Barclays Credit Agreement
On December 19, 2018, the Fund formed ABPCIC Funding, an indirectly wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, the primary purpose of which was to function as the Fund’s special purpose, bankruptcy remote, financing subsidiary in connection with the Barclays Credit Agreement, providing for borrowings in an aggregate amount up to $150,000,000 collateralized with certain assets sold to ABPCIC Funding by the Fund (the “Collateral”). The Fund was appointed as the Designated Manager of ABPCIC Funding and as such had full and exclusive control of ABPCIC Funding’s business and makes all decisions affecting its affairs (except with respect to certain material actions). On January 30, 2019, ABPCIC Funding entered into the Barclays Credit Agreement. Concurrently with the closing of the Barclays Credit Agreement, the Fund contributed and/or sold certain assets to ABPCIC Funding pursuant to a transfer agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”), by and between the Fund as seller and ABPCIC Funding as buyer. The Fund expected to continue to contribute and/or sell assets to ABPCIC Funding pursuant to the Transfer Agreement in the future.
All of the collateral pledged to lenders by ABPCIC Funding under the Barclays Credit Facility was held in the custody of the Custodian under an account control agreement by and among ABPCIC Funding, the Collateral Agent and the Custodian. The Collateral Administrator maintained and performed certain collateral administration services with respect to the collateral pursuant to a collateral administration agreement among ABPCIC Funding, the Adviser and the Collateral Administrator. Borrowings under the Barclays Credit Facility were secured by all of the assets held by ABPCIC Funding. Pursuant to a collateral management agreement (the “Collateral Management Agreement”) by and between ABPCIC Funding and the Adviser as collateral manager, the Adviser performed certain duties with respect to the purchase and management of the assets securing the Barclays Credit Facility. The Adviser elected to waive any fees that would otherwise be payable under the Barclays Credit Facility and the Collateral Management Agreement. ABPCIC Funding was responsible for reimbursing the expenses incurred by the Adviser in the performance of its obligations under the Collateral Management Agreement other than any ordinary overhead expenses, which were not required to be reimbursed. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Fund incurred no collateral management fees.
The Barclays Credit Facility provided for borrowings in an aggregate amount up to $150 million. Borrowings under the Barclays Credit Facility bore interest paid on an annual adjusted LIBOR for the relevant interest period, plus an applicable spread of 2.25%. ABPCIC Funding would also pay an unused commitment fee of .50% and the commitment would have expired on July 30, 2020. Interest and fees were paid quarterly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the Barclays Credit Facility would have matured, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder would have been due and payable, on the earlier of (i) January 20, 2029, (ii) the date on which ABPCIC Funding issues collateralized loan obligation securities in a transaction for which the sole arranger is Barclays (or an affiliate thereof) or (iii) upon certain other events which result in accelerated maturity under the credit facility. Borrowing under the Barclays Credit Facility was subject to certain restrictions contained in the 1940 Act. On August 9, 2019, ABPCIC Funding issued collateralized loan obligation securities, and terminated the Barclays Credit Facility. For a discussion of the CLO Transaction see“Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 4. Collateralized Loan Obligations.”
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the components of interest expense related to the Barclays Credit Facility were as follows:

The Notes offered by theCo-Issuers in the CLO Transaction are secured by a diversified portfolio of theCo-Issuers consisting primarily of middle market loans and participation interests in middle market loans and may also include some broadly syndicated loans. The CLO Transaction was executed through a private placement of: (i) $178,200,000 ofClass A-1 Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes, which bear interest at three-months LIBOR plus 1.73% per annum; (ii) $25,000,000 ofClass A-2A Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes, which bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.45% per annum; (iii) $9,950,000 ofClass A-2B Senior Secured Fixed Rate Notes, which bear interest at 4.23% per annum; (iv) $16,400,000 of Class B Secured Deferrable Floating Rate Notes, which bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.40% per annum; and (v) $17,350,000 of Class C Secured Deferrable Floating Rate Notes, which bear interest at LIBOR plus 4.40% per annum. The Notes are scheduled to mature on August 9, 2030.

The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, as amended, or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from registration.
The Adviser serves as collateral manager to the Issuer pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement. For so long as the Adviser serves as collateral manager to the Issuer, the Adviser will elect to irrevocably waive any base management fee or subordinated interest to which it may be entitled under the Collateral Management Agreement. For the period ended March 31, 2020, the Fund incurred a collateral management fee of $459,059, which was voluntarily waived by the Adviser.

Asset Coverage
In accordance with the 1940 Act, the Fund has historically only been allowed to borrow amounts such that its “asset coverage,” as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing, permitting the Fund to borrow up to one dollar for investment purposes for every one dollar of investor equity. “Asset coverage” generally refers to a company’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by “senior securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, divided by total senior securities representing indebtedness and, if applicable, preferred stock. “Senior securities” for this purpose includes borrowings from banks or other lenders, debt securities and preferred stock.
On March 23, 2018, the SBCAA was signed into law. The SBCAA, among other things, modifies the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act to reduce the required asset coverage ratio applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% subject to certain approval, time and disclosure requirements (including either stockholder approval or approval of a majority of the directors who are not interested persons of the BDC and who have no financial interest in the proposal). On July 5, 2018, the Board voted to approve the adoption of the reduced asset coverage ratio and separately recommended that Investors approve the reduced asset coverage requirements at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. On September 26, 2018, at the Fund’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, the Fund’s stockholders approved the reduction of the required minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to the Fund from 200% to 150%, which took effect on September 27, 2018. This reduction in the required minimum asset coverage ratio increases the amount of debt that the Fund is permitted to incur, permitting the Fund to borrow up to two dollars for investment purposes for every one dollar of investor equity.
As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Fund had total senior securities of $253,714,301 and $229,836,633, respectively, consisting of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Notes, and had asset coverage ratios of 167% and 163%, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
Valuation of InvestmentsInvestment
We measureThe Fund measures the value of ourits investments at fair value accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, or “ASC Topic 820,” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”).or “FASB.” Fair value is 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.
The audit committee of ourthe Fund’s Board (the “Audit Committee’Committee”) is also responsible for assisting ourthe Fund’s Board in valuing investments that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, ourthe Fund’s Board, with the assistance of the Adviser and its senior investment team and independent valuation firms, is responsible for determining in good faith the fair value in accordance with the valuation policy approved by ourthe Fund’s Board. If more than one valuation method is used to measure fair value, the results are evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results. We considerThe Fund considers a range of fair values based upon the valuation techniques utilized and selectselects the value within that range that was most representative of fair value based on current market conditions as well as other factors the Adviser’s senior investment team considers relevant.
Our Board will make this fair value determination on a quarterly basis Due to the unprecedented conditions surroundingCOVID-19 spreading throughout the United States and any other time when a decision regardingthe significant disruptions to the economy that have resulted from such spread during the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Fund undertook supplemental reviews of the fair value of its portfolio with the portfolio investments is required. A determinationassistance of fair value involves subjective

ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below:
Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.investments.
Level 2—Valuations are based on2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable.similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant– Significant unobservable inputs such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to(including the inability to observe inputs to valuation.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels ofFund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’sof investments at the reporting date).
The level withinin the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is basedcategorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. The assessment ofIf a fair value measurement uses price data vendors or observable market price quotations, that measurement is a Level 2 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considersconsidering factors specific to the investment.asset or liability.
Under ASC Topic 820,The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the fair value measurement also assumesFund. The Fund considers observable data to be that the transaction to sell an asset occursmarket data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset, which may be a hypothetical market, and excludes transaction costs. The principal market for any asset is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for such asset in which the reporting entity would or could sell or transfer the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under ASC Topic 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to such market as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact.relevant market.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our Board will undertake a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:
Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation for all fair value investments and interests, the Board’s determination of fair value may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed, or that could have been (or will be) realized in an actual sale, and such differences could be material.
The value of any investment on any valuation date is intended to represent the fair value of such investment on such date based upon the amount at which the investment could be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale, and reflects the Board’s determination of fair value using the methodology described herein. Any valuation of an investment may not reflect the actual amount received by the Fund upon the liquidation of such investment.
OurThe Fund’s investments will be primarily loans made to middle-market companies. These investments are mostly considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 because there is not usually a known or accessible market or market indices for these types of debt instruments and, thus, the Adviser’s senior investment team must estimate the fair value of these investment securities based on models utilizing unobservable inputs.
SecurityInvestment Transactions, Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses, and Income Recognition
SecurityInvestment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. We measureThe Fund measures realized gains or losses from the repayment or sale of investments using the specific identificationidentified cost method. The amortized cost basis of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums and upfront loan origination fees. We reportThe Fund reports changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the consolidated statement of operations.
Interest income, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that we expectthe Fund expects to collect such amounts. Original issue discount, principally representingInterest income on debt instruments is accrued and recognized for those issuers who are currently paying in full or expected to pay in full. For those issuers who are in default or expected to default, interest is not accrued and is only recognized when received.

Management and Incentive Fees
WeThe Fund will accrue for the base management fee and incentive fee. The accrual for the incentive fee includes the recognition of the incentive fee on unrealized capital gains, even though such incentive fee is neither earned nor payable to the Adviser until the gains are both realized and in excess of unrealized depreciation on investments. The amount of capital gains incentive fee expense related to the hypothetical liquidation of the portfolio (and assuming no other changes in realized or unrealized gains and losses) would only become payable to the Adviser in the event of a complete liquidation of the Fund’s portfolio as of period end and the termination of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement on such date. Also, it should be noted that the capital gains incentive fee expense fluctuates with the Fund’s overall investment results.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures |
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had not commenced investment activities.
When investing commences, we will beThe Fund is subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. To the extent that we borrowthe Fund borrows money to make investments, ourthe Fund’s net investment income will beis dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrowthe Fund borrows funds and the rate at which we investthe Fund invests these funds. In periods of rising interest rates, ourthe Fund’s cost of funds would increase, which may reduce ourthe Fund’s net investment income. Because we expectthe Fund expects that most of ourits investments will bear interest at floating rates, we anticipatethe Fund anticipates that an increase in interest rates would have a corresponding increase in ourthe Fund’s interest income that would likely offset any increase in ourthe Fund’s cost of funds and, thus, net investment income would not be reduced. However, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have an adverse effect on ourthe Fund’s net investment income. In addition, U.S. and global capital markets and credit markets have experienced a higher level of stress due to the globalCOVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in an increase in the level of volatility across such markets and a general decline in the value of the securities held by the Fund.
The Fund will generally invest in illiquid loans and securities including debt and equity securities of middle-market companies. Because the Fund expects that there will not be a readily available market for many of the investments in the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund expects to value many of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board using a documented valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.
In connection with theCOVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have reduced certain interest rates and LIBOR has decreased. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce the Fund’s gross investment income and could result in a decrease in the Fund’s net investment income if such decreases in LIBOR are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over LIBOR that the Fund earns on any portfolio investments, a decrease in the Fund’s operating expenses, including with respect to the Fund’s income incentive fee, or a decrease in the interest rate of the Fund’s floating interest rate liabilities tied to LIBOR.
Assuming that the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2020, were to remain constant and that the Fund took no actions to alter its existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.

In addition, although we dothe Fund does not currently intend to make investments that are denominated in a foreign currency, to the extent we do, weit does, the Fund will be subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved.
WeThe Fund may hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate usthe Fund against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit ourthe Fund’s ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to ourthe Fund’s portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, wethe Fund carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of ourthe Fund’s management, including our Presidentthe Fund’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of ourthe Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-1513a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, ourthe Fund’s President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that ourthe Fund’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to usthe Fund that is required to be disclosed by usthe Fund in the reports we fileit files or submitsubmits under the Exchange Act.
There have been no changes in ourthe Fund’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during ourthe Fund’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
We areThe Fund is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to ourthe Fund’s knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us.the Fund. From time to time, wethe Fund may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of ourthe Fund’s rights under contracts with ourits portfolio companies. OurThe Fund’s business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us.the Fund. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we dothe Fund does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon ourits financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
As of September 30, 2017,In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Fund’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which could materially affect the Fund’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in the Fund’s Annual Report onForm 10-K are not the only risks the Fund faces. Additional risks and uncertainties are not currently known to the Fund or that the Fund currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Fund’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in ourthe Fund’s Annual Report onForm10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019 except for the following.
The Small Business Credit Availability Act allows the Fund to incur additional leverage, which may increase the risk of investing with the Fund.
On March 23, 2018, the SBCAA was signed into law. The SBCAA, among other things, modifies the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act to reduce the required asset coverage ratio applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% subject to certain approval, time and disclosure requirements (including either stockholder approval or approval of a majority of the directors who are not interested persons of the BDC and who have no financial interest in the proposal). On July 5, 2018, the Board voted to approve the adoption of the reduced asset coverage ratio and separately recommended that Investors approve the reduced asset coverage requirements at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. On September 26, 2018, the Fund’s stockholders voted to approve the adoption of the reduced asset coverage ratio, effective September 27, 2018.
Increased leverage could increase the risks associated with investing in the Fund. For example, if the value of the Fund’s assets decreases, although the asset base and expected revenues would be larger because increased leverage would permit the Fund to acquire additional assets, leverage will cause the Fund’s net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have without leverage or with lower leverage. Similarly, any decrease in the Fund’s revenue would cause its net income to decline more sharply, on a relative basis, than it would have if the Fund had not borrowed or had borrowed less (although, as noted above, the Fund’s asset base and expected revenues would likely be larger). However, since the Fund already uses leverage in optimizing its investment portfolio, there are no material new risks associated with increased leverage other than the amount of the leverage.
If the Fund’s asset coverage ratio falls below the required limit, the Fund will not be able to incur additional debt until it is able to comply with the asset coverage ratio. This could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s operations, and the Fund may not be able to make distributions to stockholders. The actual amount of leverage that the Fund employs will depend on the Board’s and the Adviser’s assessment of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. The Fund currently anticipates being able to obtain sufficient credit on acceptable terms, although the Fund can make no assurance that this will be the case or that it will remain such in the future.
The following table illustrates the effect of leverage on returns from an investment in the shares of common stock assuming that the Fund employs leverage such that the Fund’s asset coverage equals (1) the Fund’s actual asset coverage as of March 31, 2020 and (2) 150%, each at various annual returns, net of expenses and as of March 31, 2020.
The calculations in the tables below are hypothetical, and are provided for illustrative purposes only. Actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing below.

Economic recessions or downturns could impair the Fund’s portfolio companies and harm the Fund’s operating results.
Certain of the Fund’s portfolio companies may be susceptible to economic downturns or recessions and may be unable to repay the Fund’s loans during these periods. Therefore, during these periods theFund’s non-performing assets may increase and the value of the Fund’s portfolio may decrease if the Fund is required to write down the values of its investments. Adverse economic conditions also may decrease the value of collateral securing some of the Fund’s loans and the value of the Fund’s equity investments.
The Fund principally invests in floating-rate assets and incurs indebtedness on a floating-rate basis as well, and intends to incur indebtedness, when possible, on the same floating base rate applicable to the assets in which it invests, which is currently LIBOR. Regulators in the U.K. have set a 2021 deadline for a transition away from LIBOR. The discontinuation of LIBOR creates uncertainty around the indebtedness the Fund will incur on a floating-rate basis in the future. Because the base rate of the Fund’s assets and indebtedness are expected to be same and will therefore fluctuate on largely the same basis, the increased cost of the Fund’s indebtedness (resulting from rising interest rates in the event of a recession or downturn) would be expected to be accompanied by increased revenues resulting from the same rising interest rates on the Fund’s floating rate assets. Nonetheless, economic slowdowns or recessions could lead to financial losses in the Fund’s portfolio and a decrease in revenues, net income and assets. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase the Fund’s funding costs, limit the Fund’s access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Fund. Furthermore, while most of the Fund’s investments are not publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require the Fund to assume as part of its valuation process that the Fund’s investments are sold in a principal market to market participants (even if the Fund plans on holding an investment through its maturity) and impairments of the market values or fair market values of the Fund’s investments, even if unrealized, must be reflected in the Fund’s financial statements for the applicable period, which could result in significant reductions to the Fund’s net asset value for the period. These events could prevent the Fund from increasing investments and harm the Fund’s operating results.
The recent global outbreak ofCOVID-19 has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. Some economists and major investment banks have expressed concern that the continued spread ofCOVID-19 globally could lead to a world-wide economic downturn. Many manufacturers of goods in China and other countries in Asia have seen a downturn in production due to the suspension of business and temporary closure of factories in an attempt to curb the spread of the illness. As the impact ofCOVID-19 spreads to other parts of the world, similar impacts may occur with respect to affected countries. Similarly, between 2008 and 2009, instability in the global capital markets resulted in disruptions in liquidity in the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector, there-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market and the failure of major domestic and international financial institutions. In particular, the financial services sector was negatively impacted by significant write-offs as the value of the assets held by financial firms declined, impairing their capital positions and abilities to lend and invest. While market conditions have largely recovered from the events of 2008 and 2009, there have been continuing periods of volatility. There can be no assurance that market conditions will not worsen in the future.
A portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by the Fund or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, acceleration of the time when the loans are due and foreclosure on its assets representing collateral for its obligations, which could trigger cross defaults under other agreements and jeopardize the Fund’s portfolio company’s ability to meet its obligations under the debt investments that the Fund holds and the value of any equity securities the Fund owns. The Fund may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company. Any extension or restructuring of the Fund’s loans could adversely affect the Fund’s cash flow. In addition, if one of the Fund’s portfolio companies were to go bankrupt, even though the Fund may have structured its interest as senior debt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which the Fund actually provided managerial assistance to that portfolio company, a bankruptcy courtmight re-characterize the Fund’s debt holding and subordinate all or a portion of the Fund’s claim to those other creditors.
The Fund is currently operating in a period of capital markets disruption and economic uncertainty.
The U.S. capital markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption following the global outbreak ofCOVID-19 that began in December 2019. Some economists and major investment banks have expressed concern that the continued spread of the virus globally could lead to a world-wide economic downturn. Disruptions in the capital markets have increased the spread between the yields realized on risk-free and higher risk securities, resulting in illiquidity in parts of the capital markets. These and future market disruptions and/or illiquidity would be expected to have an adverse effect on the Fund’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Unfavorable economic conditions also would be expected to increase the Fund’s funding costs, limit the Fund’s access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Fund. These events have limited and could continue to limit the Fund’s investment originations, limit the Fund’s ability to grow and have a material negative impact on the Fund’s operating results and the fair values of the Fund’s debt and equity investments.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
None.Except as previously reported by the Fund on its current reports on Form8-K, the Fund did not sell any securities during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Item 3. | Defaults Upon Senior Securities |
None.
Item 4. | Mine Safety Disclosure |
Not applicable.
Item 5. | Other Information |
Not applicable.Due to the outbreak of, and local, state and federal government responses to, theCOVID-19 pandemic, the Fund availed itself of an extension to file the Quarterly Report, originally due on May 15, 2020 by filing a Current Report on Form8-K on May 8, 2020. In taking such action, the Fund relied on the order issued by the SEC on March 25, 2020 (which extended and superseded a prior order issued on March 4, 2020), pursuant to Section 36 of the Exchange Act (ReleaseNo. 34-88465) (the “COVID-19 Filing Extension Order”), regarding exemptions granted to certain public companies. The COVID-19 Filing Extension Order allows a registrant up to an additional 45 days after the original due date of certain reports required to be filed with the SEC if a registrant’s ability to file such report timely is affected due toCOVID-19.
Due to the unprecedented conditions surroundingCOVID-19 spreading throughout the United States and the significant disruptions to the economy that have resulted from such spread, the Fund undertook additional review of the fair value of its portfolio with the assistance of a third-party independent valuation firm. Given the time taken for this additional review of the Fund’s portfolio investments, the Fund’s preparation of the Quarterly Report was disrupted. As such, the Fund relied on the COVID-19 Filing Extension Order and made use of the45-day grace period provided by the COVID-19 Filing Extension Order to delay the filing of the Quarterly Report.
