based on the type of rate used. The terms in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments disclose the actual interest rate in effect as of the reporting period. LIBOR loans are typically indexed to30-day,60-day,90-day or180-day LIBOR rates (1M L, 3M L or 6M L, respectively) at the borrower’s option. LIBOR loans may be subject to interest floors. As of December 31, 2017,2018, rates for 1M L, 2M L, 3M L and 6M L were 1.56%are 2.50%, 1.62%2.61%, 1.69%2.81% and 1.84%2.88%, respectively.

AB Private Credit Investors Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 20182019

1. Organization

AB Private Credit Investors Corporation (the “Fund,” “we,” “our,” and “us”), an externally managed,non-diversified,closed-end, management investment company that elected 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. Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of the Fund’s common stock up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitment on anas-needed basis each time the Fund delivers a capital draw-down notice to its investors.

On September 29, 2017, the Fund completed the initial closing (“Initial Closing”) of its Private Offering after entering into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with several investors, providing for the private placement of the Fund’s common shares. At September 30, 2018,2019, the Fund had total Capital Commitments of $253,296,218,$359,356,251, of which 80%66% is unfunded. Capital Commitments may be drawn down by the Fund on a pro rata basis, as needed (includingfollow-on investments), for paying the Fund’s expenses, including fees under the Advisory Agreement, and/or maintaining a reserve account for the payment of future expenses or liabilities.

There were no operating activities from February 6, 2015 to November 15, 2017. As described above, the Fund completed its Initial Closing on September 29, 2017, and commenced operations on November 15, 2017. The Fund’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

On October 31, 2018, the Adviser established ABPCIC SSC TS Holdings LLC (“ABPCIC SSC TS”), through which the Fund made an investment. ABPCIC SSC TS is 100% owned by the Fund and is consolidated in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation. On December 19, 2018 the Adviser established ABPCIC Funding I LLC (“ABPCIC Funding”), a Delaware limited liability company. ABPCIC Funding is 100% owned by the Fund and is consolidated in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation.

On June 14, 2019 the Adviser established ABPCI Direct Lending Fund CLO VI Ltd (“CLO VI”), an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

On August 9, 2019 ABPCIC Funding and CLO VI entered into a merger agreement, pursuant to which ABPCIC Funding has agreed to merge with and into CLO VI, with CLO VI as the surviving entity. CLO VI is 100% owned by the Fund and is consolidated in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements.

On September 25, 2019, the Adviser established ABPCIC NC Holdings LLC (“ABPCIC NC”, and together with ABPCIC SSC TS, the “Blockers”) through which the Fund made an investment. ABPCIC NC is 100% owned by the Fund and is consolidated in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946,Financial Services – Investment Companies.The 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 from 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 that currency.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and its wholly-owned Blockers and CLO VI. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation, with no significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

10


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of demand deposits.deposits and money market portfolios. 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 may earn various fees during the life of the loans. Such fees include, but are not limited to, syndication, 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 below) is recorded at carrying value which approximates fair value. Interest expense and unused commitment fees on the Credit Facility (as defined below) are recorded on an accrual basis. Unused commitment fees are included in interest and credit facilityborrowing expenses in the statementconsolidated statements of operations. Deferred financing costs include capitalized expenses related to the closing of the 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 credit facilityborrowing expenses in the statementconsolidated 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 below) 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 position. 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 year), 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 (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 provided by the Code. In order for the Fund not to be subject to U.S. federal excise taxes, it must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for 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 were not distributed during such years. The Fund, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on this income. If the Fund chooses to do so, this generally would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. The Fund will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Fund accrued excise taxes of $0 and $0, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Fund accrued excise taxes of $0 and $3, respectively. As of September 30, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, $0 and $2,336,$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 differ 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 that year and, accordingly, a portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Fund intends to timely distribute to its stockholders substantially all of its annual taxable income for each year, except that the Fund may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and, depending upon the level of the 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 reported to stockholders after the end of the calendar year. All distributions will be subject to available funds, and no assurance can be given that the Fund 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 unless a stockholder elects to “opt in” to the dividend reinvestment plan. As a result, if the Board declares a cash distribution, then the stockholders who have “opted in” to the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update, ASU2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement which removes, modifiesAs of and adds disclosures to Topic 820. The amendments in ASU2018-13 apply to all entities that are required, under existing U.S. GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. The amendments in ASU2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual period. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Fund’s financial statements.

In October 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted amendments to certain disclosure requirements included in RegulationS-X that had become “redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded, in light of the other Commission disclosure requirements, GAAP or changes in the information environment.” The compliance date for the amendments to RegulationS-X was November 5, 2018 (for reporting period end dates ofthree and nine months ended September 30, 2018 or after). Management has evaluated2019, there are no recent accounting pronouncements that affect the impact of the amendments and determined the effect of the adoption of the rules will simplify certain disclosure requirements on the financial statements.

3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

Advisory Agreement

On July 5, 2017, the Board approved the investment advisory agreement with the Adviser (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 be 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 be 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 be appropriately prorated. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Fund incurred a management fee of $1,017,059 and $2,477,129, respectively, of which $60,261 and $191,359, respectively, were voluntarily waived by the Adviser. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Fund incurred a management fee of $281,892 and $560,765, respectively, of which $39,913 and $77,203, respectively, waswere voluntarily waived by the Adviser. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $483,562$956,799 and $830,130, respectively, of accrued management fee remained payable. No management fees were incurred or were payable as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

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”) for the quarter, as further described below.Pre-incentive Fee Net Investment

Income 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 Fund (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 GAAP).Pre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income also includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay in kind interest andzero-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 Income 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 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.

Pre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of net assets (defined as total assets, less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, will be compared to various “hurdle rates,” with the income-based incentive fee rate of return increasing at each hurdle rate.

Description of Quarterly Incentive Fee Calculations

We pay the Adviser an income-based incentive fee with respect toPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income in each calendar quarter as follows:

 

No income-based incentive fee in any calendar quarter in whichPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed 1.5% per quarter (6% per annum), the “6% Hurdle Rate”;

 

13


100% ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of suchPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, 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 (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 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, 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 until the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 1.94%, approximately 7.78% per annum; and

 

100% ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of suchPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the 7% Hurdle Rate but is less than 2.06% in any calendar quarter (the “7%Catch-up Cap”), 8.24% per annum. This portion ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the 7% Hurdle Rate but is less than the 7%Catch-up Cap) is referred to as the “7%Catch-up.” The 7%Catch-up is meant to provide the Adviser with 15.0% of thePre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeded 2.06% but was less than 2.35% in any calendar quarter; and

 

15.0% of the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, 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 until the amount ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds 2.06%, approximately 9.41% per annum; and

100% ofPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of suchPre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, 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 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 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, if any, that exceeds 2.50% in any calendar quarter.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Fund incurred income-based incentive fees of $180,792 and $586,627, respectively, of which $56,255 and $132,327, respectively, was voluntarily waived by the Adviser. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Fund incurred income-based incentive fees of $66,206 and $66,206, respectively, of which $32,302 and $32,302, respectively, was voluntarily waived by the Adviser. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $33,904$654,162 and $199,862, respectively, of accrued income-based incentive fees remained payable.

No incentive fees were incurred or were payable as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee: The capital gains incentive fee is determined and payable at the end of each fiscal year as 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. For accounting purposes only, we are required under GAAP to accrue a hypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon net realized gains and unrealized depreciation for that calendar year (in accordance with the terms of the 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 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

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 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.

14


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 periods ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made, the sum of (a) thePre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, 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 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, 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 Adviser 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 shareholder 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 shareholder 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 Advisory Agreement, or (b) the Board of the Fund makes 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.

15


As of September 30, 2018,2019, the amount of Expense Payments provided by the Adviser since inception is $4,082,084.$4,784,382. Management believes that Reimbursement Payments by the Fund to the Adviser were not probable under the terms of the Expense Support Agreement as of September 30, 2018,2019, and therefore have not been accrued. The following table reflects the Expense Payments that may be subject to reimbursement pursuant to the Expense Agreement:

(1)

The effective rate of distribution per share is expressed as a percentage equal to the projected annualized distribution amount as of the end of the applicable period (which is calculated by annualizing the regular quarterly cash distributions per share as of such date without compounding), divided by the Fund’s gross offering price per share as of such date.

(2)

Represents 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.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Fund accrued $8,104 and $19,203 in transfer agent fees, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Fund accrued $561 and $561 in transfer agent fees, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $8,104 and $10,717, respectively, of accrued transfer agent fees remained payable.

4. Borrowings

Credit Facility

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”). The initial maximum commitment amount (the “Maximum Commitment”) under the Revolving Credit Facility was $30 million and may 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 September 30, 2018,2019, the Fund has increasedadjusted the Maximum Commitment to $75$50 million. So long as no request for borrowing is outstanding, the Fund may terminate the Commitments or reduce the Maximum Commitments by giving prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent.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 September 30, 2018,2019, 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.

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; and (ii) with respect to Reference Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the greatest of: (i) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by HSBC as its prime rate, (ii) 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 Agentadministrative agent (as defined in the credit agreement), from three (3) Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by the Administrative Agentadministrative agent and, upon request of Borrowers (as defined in the Credit Agreement), with notice of such quotations to the Borrowers and (iii) except during any period of time during which LIBOR isunavailable, one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus two hundred basis points (2.00%). The Fund will also pay an unused commitment fee of 35 basis points (0.35%) on any unused commitments.

16


The Revolving Credit Facility willwas scheduled to mature on November 14, 2018,13, 2019, 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 and the Administrative Agentadministrative agent consents to the extension in their sole discretion; (ii) the Fund has paid an extension fee to the Administrative Agentadministrative agent for the benefit of the extending Lenders consenting to such extension in an amount agreed to by the Administrative Agentadministrative 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 14, 2018;13, 2019; and (v) the Fund has delivered an extension request to the Administrative Agentadministrative agent not more than one hundred twenty (120) days or less than forty-five (45) days prior to November 14, 2018.13, 2019.

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 Fund’s outstanding debtBarclays Credit Facility was in effect during the quarter, but 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.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Fund incurred a collateral management fee of $266,585 and $266,585, respectively, which was voluntarily waived by the Adviser.

In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority announced the intention to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. Because the statements made by the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority are recent in nature, there is no definitive information regarding the statementfuture of operations,LIBOR or of which $8,483 was payable at September 30, 2018.any particular replacement index rate. As such, the potential effect of any such event on our cost of capital and net investment income cannot yet be determined.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the average outstanding balance and weighted average interest rate for the Credit Agreement was $32,350,000 and 4.17% and $19,157,509 and 4.09%, respectively.

There were no borrowings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

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.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 own 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 significant to the overall 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.).

 

17


Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)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 price 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 Level 3 debt and 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.

A negative fair value was reflected as investments, at fair value in the Statementsconsolidated statements of Assetsassets and Liabilities.liabilities. The negative fair value is the result of the capitalized discount on the loan.

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.

8.7. Net Assets

Equity Issuance

In connection with its formation, the Fund has the authority to issue 200,000,000 shares of the Fund’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

On September 29, 2017, the Fund completed its Initial Closing after entering into Subscription Agreements with several investors, including the Adviser, providing for the private placement of the Fund’s common shares. Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase the Fund’s common shares up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments on anas-needed basis upon the issuance of a capital draw-down notice. At September 30, 20182019 the Fund had total Capital Commitments of $253,296,218,$359,356,251, of which 80%66% is unfunded. The minimum Capital Commitment of an investor is $50,000. The Adviser, however, may waive the minimum Capital Commitment at its discretion.

Capital Commitments may be drawn down by the Fund on a pro rata basis, as needed (includingfollow-on investments), for paying the Fund’s expenses, including fees under the Advisory Agreement, and/or maintaining a reserve account for the payment of future expenses or liabilities.

The following table summarizes the total shares issued and amount received related to capital drawdowns delivered pursuant to the Subscription Agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017:September 30, 2018:

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 table summarizestables summarize shares distributed pursuant to the DRIP during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 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 shares distributed pursuantfinancial interest in the proposal). On September 26, 2018, the Fund’s stockholders approved the reduction of the asset coverage ratio applicable to the DRIPFund 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. The first tender offer period began on November 27, 2018 and expired on December 27, 2018. The second tender offer period began on February 22, 2019 and expired on March 26, 2019. The third tender offer period began on May 17, 2019 and expired on June 25, 2019. The fourth tender offer period began on August 16, 2019 and expired on September 25, 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs and opinions, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “potential,” “predicts” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:

 

an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies;

 

such an economic downturn could disproportionately impact the companies that we intend to target for investment, potentially causing us to experience a decrease in investment opportunities and diminished demand for capital from these companies;

 

a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and investment activities;

 

23


interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly if we elect to use leverage as part of our investment strategy;

 

our future operating results;

 

our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

 

our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

 

the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;

 

competition with other entities and our affiliates for investment opportunities;

 

the speculative and illiquid nature of our investments;

 

the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments;

 

the adequacy of our financing sources and working capital;

 

the loss of key personnel;

 

the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies;

 

the ability of the Adviser to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;

 

the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain highly talented professionals;

 

our ability to qualify and maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and as a business development company (“BDC”);

 

the effect of legal, tax and regulatory changes, including the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”); and

 

the other risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify under “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20172018 and our Quarterly ReportReports onForm10-Q for the quarterquarters ended June March 31, 2019 and June��30, 2018.2019.

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017,2018, our Quarterly ReportReports onForm10-Q for for the quarterquarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018,2019, and elsewhere in this report. These forward-looking statements apply only as of the date of this report. Moreover, we assume no duty and do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements and projections contained in this Annual Report are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because we are an investment company.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

We were formed on February 6, 2015 as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland. We are structured as an externally managed,non-diversified,closed-end management investment company. We were formed to invest primarily in primary-issue middle-market credit opportunities that are directly sourced and privately negotiated. We commenced investment operations on November 15, 2017 (“Commencement”). We are advised by AB Private Credit Investors LLC (the “Adviser”), which is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Adviser is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring our portfolio on an ongoing basis. State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Administrator”) provides the administrative services necessary for the Fund to operate.

On October 6, 2016, we filed with the SEC an election to be treated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Fund has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that we have net taxable income prior to our qualification as a RIC, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such income. As a BDC and a RIC, respectively, we are and will be required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in “qualifying assets,” source of income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income and tax exempt interest.

24


We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years following our initial public offering, if any, although if the market value of our common stock that is held bynon-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, we will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

The Private Offering

We enter into separate subscription agreements with investors providing for the private placement of our common stock (the “Shares”) in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act,” and such offering, the “Private Offering”). Each investor makes a capital commitment (a “Capital Commitment”) to purchase Shares pursuant to a subscription agreement. Investors are required to make capital contributions to purchase Shares each time we deliver a capital call notice, which is issued based on our anticipated investment activities and capital needs, delivered at least 10 business days prior to the required funding date, provided that investors may fund such requirements sooner than the deadline as agreed between the Fund and the investor. Generally, purchases of our 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 (“Remaining Commitment”), at aper-Share price equal to the net asset value per share of our common stock subject to any adjustments.

We 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 our 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

Our 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. 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 seek to build the Fund’s 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.

We 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. We will seek to deliver attractive risk adjusted returns with lower volatility and low correlation relative to the public credit markets. The Adviser believes our flexibility to invest across the capital structure and liquidity spectrum will allow us to optimize investor risk-adjusted returns.

Expenses

Under the Advisory Agreement, our primary operating expenses will include the payment of fees to the Adviser our allocable portion of overhead expenses under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement and other operating costs described below. We bear all otherout-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including those relating to:

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, 2018,2019 and as of December 31, 2017,2018, the Fund had no investments that were onnon-accrual status.

The Adviser monitors our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. It monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company to determine if they are meeting their respective business plans and to assess the appropriate course of action for each company. The Adviser has several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include the following:

 

assessment of success in adhering to the portfolio company’s business plan and compliance with covenants;

 

periodic or regular contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic sponsor to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;

 

comparisons to our other portfolio companies in the industry, if any;

 

attendance at and participation in board meetings or presentations by portfolio companies; and

 

review of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections of portfolio companies.

The federal income tax characterization of distributions declared and paid for the fiscal year will be determined at fiscalyear-end based upon our investment company taxable income for the full fiscal year and distributions paid during the full year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Fund estimates that the aggregate $4,423,170 distributed to stockholders was attributable to ordinary income. The character of distributions for federal income tax purposes are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is only ordinary income or gains.

To the extent the Fund’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of its distributions paid for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to the Fund’s stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, the source of a distribution to stockholders may be the original capital invested by the stockholder rather than the Fund’s income or gains.

Share Repurchase Plan

On March 23, 2018, we issued 77,042 sharesthe SBCAA was signed into law. The SBCAA, among other things, modifies the applicable provisions of our common stockthe 1940 Act to investorsreduce 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 opted into our dividend reinvestment plan.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. The first tender offer period began on November 27, 2018 and expired on December 27, 2018. The second tender offer period began on February 22, 2019 and expired on March 26, 2019. The third tender offer period began on May 17, 2019 and expired on June 25, 2019. The fourth tender offer period began on August 16, 2019 and expired on September 25, 2019.

The cost of both the base management fee and the incentive fee will ultimately be borne by our stockholders. Under the Administration Agreement, 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.Agreement.

Distribution Policy

To the extent that we have funds available, we intend to make quarterly distributions of current income to our stockholders. Our stockholder distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board. Any distribution to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. We anticipate that distributions will be paid from income primarily generated by interestFacilities and dividend income earned on investments we make subsequent to the Initial Closing. We will not be able to determine whether any specific distribution will be treated as made out of our taxable earnings or as a return of capital until after the end of our taxable year. The amount treated as atax-free return of capital will reduce a stockholder’s adjusted basis in his or her common stock, thereby increasing his or her potential gain or reducing his or her potential loss on the subsequent sale or other disposition of his or her common stock. At no time will such quarterly distributions of current income be added to a stockholder’s outstanding but undrawn capital commitments.CLO Notes.

32


From time to time our Board, in its sole discretion, also may determine to issue special distributions returning all or a portion of stockholders’ previous capital contributions (each, a “Return of Capital”). The amount of any Return of Capital received by a stockholder will be added to such stockholder’s outstanding but undrawn capital commitments. Accordingly, we may deliver a capital call notice which includes the amount of a stockholder’s Return of Capital. If we receive exemptive relief allowing us to create a Liquidating Share Class (as such term is defined in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017), eligible stockholders may have the right as part of the process for electing (or declining) to exchange Shares for Liquidation Shares, to cancel, in whole or in part, any outstanding but undrawn capital commitments, including any undrawn amounts resulting from the receipt of a Return of Capital.

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain RIC tax treatment, we must distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net realized short-term capital gains in excess of our net realized long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we currently intend to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (a) 98% of our ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gains or losses) for such calendar year; (b) 98.2% of the amount by which our capital gains exceed our capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for aone-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year; and (c) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax.

We currently intend to distribute net long-term capital gains if any, at least annually out of the assets legally available for such distributions. However, we may in the future decide to retain some or all of our long-term capital gains but designate the retained amount as a “deemed distribution.” In that case, among other consequences, we will pay tax on the retained amount, each U.S. stockholder will be required to include their share of the deemed distribution in income as if it had been distributed to the U.S. stockholder, and the U.S. stockholder will be entitled to claim a credit equal to their allocable share of the tax paid on the deemed distribution by us. The amount of the deemed distribution net of such tax will be added to such stockholder’s tax basis in such stockholder’s common stock. Since we expect to pay tax on any retained capital gains at our regular corporate tax rate, and since that rate is in excess of the maximum rate currently payable by individuals on long-term capital gains, the amount of tax that individual stockholders will be treated as having paid and for which they will receive a credit will exceed the tax they owe on the retained net capital gain. Such excess generally may be claimed as a credit against such individual stockholder’s other U.S. federal income tax obligations or may be refunded to the extent it exceeds such individual stockholder’s liability for U.S. federal income tax. We cannot assure any stockholder that we will achieve results that will permit us to pay any cash distributions, and if we issue senior securities, we may be prohibited from making distributions if doing so would cause us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if such distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

Unless a stockholder elects to reinvest distributions in shares of our common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan, we intend to make such distributions in cash. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of our common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders participating in our dividend reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes. If a stockholder holds shares of our common stock in the name of a broker or financial intermediary, such stockholder should contact such broker or financial intermediary regarding the election to receive distributions in shares of our common stock in lieu of cash. Any distributions reinvested through the issuance of shares through our dividend reinvestment plan will increase our assets on which the base management fee and incentive fee is determined and paid to the Adviser.

Credit Facilities

HSBC Credit Facility Agreement

On November 15, 2017, the Fund entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit“HSBC Credit Agreement”) to establish a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving“HSBC Credit Facility”) with HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC”) as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and any other lender that becomes a party to the HSBC Credit Facility in accordance with the terms of the HSBC Credit Facility, as lenders.

The initial Maximum Commitmentmaximum principal amount (the “Maximum Commitment”) of the HSBC Credit Facility was $30 million. The Maximum Commitment amount may be increased upon request of the Fund to an amount agreed upon by the Fund and the Administrative Agent. As of September 30, 2018, the Fund has increased the Maximum Commitment to $75 million. Effective as of November 13, 2018, the Fund has further increased the Maximum Commitment to $100 million. Such increase may be done in one or more requested increases, each in a minimum amount of $10 million and in $5 million increments thereof, or such lesser amount to be determined by the Administrative Agent, subject to certain terms and conditions. As of January 31, 2019, the Fund set the Maximum Commitment as $50 million. So long as no request for borrowing is outstanding, the Fund may terminate the Lenders’ commitments (the “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 HSBC Credit Facility may be used for any purpose permitted under our organizational documents, including general corporate purposes such as the making of investments.

Borrowings under the HSBC Credit Facility 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 HSBC Credit Agreement) for the applicable Interest Period; and (ii) with respect to Reference Rate Loans (as defined in the HSBC Credit Agreement), the greatest of: (i) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent as its prime rate, (ii) 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, 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, with notice of such quotations to the Borrowers and (iii) except during any period of time during which LIBOR isunavailable, one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus two hundred basis points (2.00%). The Fund will also pay an unused commitment fee of 35 basis points (0.35%) on any unused commitments.

The HSBC Credit Facility willwas scheduled to mature on November 14, 2018,13, 2019, 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 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 14, 2018;13, 2019; and (iv) 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 14, 2018. The Fund has exercised its option to extend the maturity date to November 13, 2019.

Subject to certain terms and conditions, the HSBC Credit Facility is secured by a first priority, exclusive, perfected security interest and lien in and on all of the Fund’s right, title and interest, in, to and under, whether now existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located (a) all of the Fund’s rights, titles, interests and privileges in and to the Capital Commitments, and the Capital Contributions made by its Investors, and all other rights, titles, interests, powers and privileges related to, appurtenant to or arising out of the Capital Commitments; (b) all of the Fund’s rights, titles, interests, remedies, and privileges under the Constituent Documents (i) to issue and enforce Capital Calls and Pending Capital Calls, (ii) to receive and enforce Capital Contributions and (iii) relating to Capital Calls, Pending Capital Calls, Capital Commitments or Capital Contributions; (c) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

The HSBC Credit Facility contains customary covenants and events of default (with customary cure and notice provisions).

As of September 30, 2019, there was no outstanding balance on the HSBC Credit Facility and we were in compliance with the terms of the HSBC Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2018, we had $88,200,000 outstanding on the HSBC Credit Facility and we were in compliance with the terms of the HSBC Credit Facility. We intend to continue to utilize the HSBC Credit Facility on a revolving basis to fund investments and for other general corporate purposes.

Barclays Credit Facility Agreement

On December 19, 2018, the Fund formed AB PCIC Funding I LLC, an indirectly wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company (“ABPCIC Funding”), the primary purpose of which is to function as the Fund’s special purpose, bankruptcy remote, financing subsidiary in connection with a credit agreement (the “Barclays Credit Agreement,” together with all ancillary documents thereto, 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”) 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 has been appointed as the Designated Manager of ABPCIC Funding and as such has 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 expects 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Fund incurred a collateral management fee of $100,949 and $426,758, respectively, which was voluntarily waived by the Adviser.

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 Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 4. Collateralized Loan Obligations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the components of interest expense related to the Barclays Credit Facility were as follows:

Debt Securitization

On August 9, 2019, ABPCI Direct Lending Fund CLO VI Ltd (the “Issuer”) and ABPCI Direct Lending Fund CLO VI LLC (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 notes offered by theCo-Issuers in the CLO Transaction (the “Notes”) 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.

In a series of contemporaneous transactions on the closing date of the CLO Transaction, (i) the Issuer, together with the issuance of certain of the Notes (including $16,400,000 of Class B Notes, $17,350,000 of Class C Notes and $53,600,000 of subordinated notes (the “Subordinated Notes”) to ABPCI Direct Lending Fund CLO VI Depositor LLC (the “Depositor”), a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, purchased the initial collateral obligations (which will settle pursuant to the Closing Merger, as such term is defined below) pursuant to a loan sale and contribution agreement dated as of August 9, 2019 (the “Loan Sale Agreement”), among the Fund, as seller, the Depositor, as intermediate seller, and the Issuer, as buyer, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, (ii) the Issuer repaid all of the outstanding obligations owed to the lenders and agents of the Barclays Credit Facility, (iii) the Issuer made a cash distribution of approximately $8,400,000 to the Fund (in its capacity as sole member of ABPCIC Funding), (iv) the Fund caused ABPCIC Funding to merge into the Issuer with the Issuer being the entity surviving such merger (such merger transaction, the “Closing Merger”) and (v) the Issuer made any other payments due in connection with the repayment of the Barclays Credit Facility and the Closing Merger and paid any other fees and expenses expected to be paid as of such date. Any realized and unrealized gains and losses of ABPCIC Funding during the term of the Barclays Credit Facility are for the Issuer’s account (except to the extent previously distributed to the Fund). Under the terms of the Closing Merger, the rights and property of ABPCIC Funding (including the collateral obligations and eligible investments (if any) acquired by ABPCIC Funding and not distributed or sold as described above) immediately vested in the Issuer. In addition, the Issuer became liable for and subject, in the same manner as ABPCIC Funding, to all funding obligations on any revolving collateral obligations and delayed drawdown collateral obligations and all other liabilities and obligations related to the collateral obligations previously owned by ABPCIC Funding. Following the closing of the CLO Transaction, the Depositor is the 100% owner of the Subordinated Notes.

The Notes are the secured obligations of theCo-Issuers, and the indenture governing the Notes includes customary covenants and events of default. 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 “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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Fund incurred a collateral management fee of $266,585 and $266,585, respectively, which was voluntarily waived by the Adviser.

The interest rate and outstanding borrowings under the Notes as of September 30, 2019 were as follows:

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 September 30, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, the Fund had total senior securities of $36,250,000$209,954,376 and $23,500,000,$88,200,000, respectively, consisting of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Notes, and had asset coverage ratios of 240%159% and 203.1%172%, respectively. For a discussion of certain risks associated with the reduction of the required minimum asset coverage ratio applicable to the Fund, see Part II, Item 1A of this Form10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

Valuation of Investments

We measure the value of our 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, 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 our Board (the “Audit Committee”) is also responsible for assisting our 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

36


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, our 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 our 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 consider a range of fair values based upon the valuation techniques utilized and select 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.

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 – 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)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.

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.

Our 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.

Investment Transactions, Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses, and Income Recognition

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. We measure realized gains or losses from the repayment or sale of investments using the identified 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 report 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.

37


Interest income, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. 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. 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.

Management and Incentive Fees

We will accrue for the base management fee and incentive fee. The accrual for incentive fee includes the recognition of 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 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.

Fund Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Fund incurred $4,015,868 of expenses in relation to professional fees, directors’ fees, management fees, incentive fees, insurance expenses, interest and credit facility expenses, offering costs and administration and custodian fees, of which $2,052,539 was reimbursed by the Adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the Fund, and $77,203 of management fees and $32,302 of incentive fees were waived by the Adviser.

Federal Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated, and to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. Generally, a RIC is not subject to federal income taxes on distributed income and gains if it distributes at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of its net long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. We intend to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain our RIC status each year and we do not anticipate paying any material federal income taxes in the future.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. To the extent that we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. Because we expect that most of our investments will bear interest at floating rates, we anticipate that an increase in interest rates would have a corresponding increase in our interest income that would likely offset any increase in our 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 our net investment income.

We will generally invest in illiquid loans and securities including debt and equity securities of middle-market companies. Because we expect that there will not be a readily available market for many of the investments in our portfolio, we expect to value many of our 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 our 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.

Assuming that the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2018,2019, were to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.

In addition, although we do not currently intend to make investments that are denominated in a foreign currency, to the extent we do, we 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.

We 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 us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factorfactors discussed below and the risk factors described in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report onForm10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017,2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report onForm 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, each of which coulduncertainties are not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and resultsand/or operating results. As of operations. The risks describedSeptember 30, 2019, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report onForm10-K and discussed below are notfor the only risks we face. We may face other risks that we have not yet identified, which we do not currently deem material or which are not yet predictable, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In such case, our net asset value andyear ended December 31, 2018, except for the price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.following.

The Small Business Credit Availability Act allows us to incur additional leverage, which may increase the risk of investing with us.

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.

39


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 we employ leverage such that our asset coverage equals (1) our actual asset coverage as of September 30, 20182019 and (2) 150%, each at various annual returns, net of expenses and as of September 30, 2018.2019.

Item 2. Unregistered SalesUncertainty relating to the LIBOR calculation process may adversely affect the value of Equity Securitiesour portfolio of the LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities in our portfolio or the cost of our borrowings.

On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear if at that time whether or not 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 our borrowings. In addition, changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR may result in a 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 our borrowings. Additionally, if LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate the credit agreements extending beyond 2021 with our portfolio companies that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate and Usecertain of Proceedsour 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.

Other Information

(a) On November 13, 2019, following the sale by AXA S.A. of its minority stake of AXA Equitable Holdings, Inc., an indirect holder of a majority of the membership interests in AllianceBernstein L.P., the direct parent of Alliance Capital Management LLC, the direct parent of the Adviser, via an initial public offering and listing of AXA Equitable’s shares of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, the Fund entered into a new investment advisory agreement (the “Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser, replacing the Advisory Agreement (which was terminated concurrently with the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement).

The Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement is identical in all material respects to the Advisory Agreement, except that (i) it reflects new effective and termination dates and (ii) the income-based incentive fee has been revised tocalculate Pre-incentive Fee Net Investment Income, which is expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Fund’s net assets, using the Fund’s average monthly net assets as of the first day of each month in the calendar quarter, rather than using the Fund’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter.

The Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement will remain in effect initially for two years, and thereafter will continue automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board, or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, and (ii) the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund’s directors who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”). The Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon not more than 60 days’ written notice by: (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, (ii) the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, or (iii) the Adviser. The Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 15(a)(4) of the 1940 Act).

The Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement was approved by the Board (including all of the Independent Directors) on March 28, 2019, and by the Fund’s stockholders at a meeting held on September 26, 2019.

The description of the Advisory Agreement contained in this Part II, Item 5. Other Information

Not applicable.
