REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of SL Investment Corp.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities of SL Investment Corp. and subsidiary (the "Company") including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, and the period from August 24, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, and of cash flows for the ~~three-month~~nine-month period ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and the period from August 24, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities of the Company, including the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the period from August 24, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020 (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 22, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

(1)Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt and equity investments held by the SL Investment Corp. (the “Company”) are denominated in dollars. For the purpose of this Consolidated Schedule of Investments, the term ~~"Company"~~“Company” shall include the Company and its consolidated subsidiary. All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise indicated. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted. Certain portfolio company investments are subject to contractual restrictions on sales. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “1940 Act”), the Company would be deemed to “control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of such portfolio ~~company's~~company’s outstanding voting securities and/or held the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company does not “control” any of these portfolio companies. Under the 1940 Act, the Company would be deemed an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if the Company owns 5% or more of such portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company is not an “affiliated person” of any of its portfolio companies.

(2)Variable rate loans to the portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that is determined by reference to either the London Interbank Offered Rate ~~( "LIBOR"~~(“LIBOR” or “L”) or an alternate base rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate (“F”) or the U.S. Prime Rate (“P”)), which generally resets periodically. For each loan, the Company has indicated the reference rate used and provided the spread and the interest rate in effect as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. For investments with multiple reference rates or alternate base rates, the interest rate shown is the weighted average interest rate in effect at September 30, 2021. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the reference rates for the ~~Company's~~Company’s variable rate loans were the 1-month L at ~~0.11%~~0.08%, the 3-month L at ~~0.19% and~~0.13%, the 6-month L at ~~0.21%~~0.16% and the P at 3.25%.

(3)The cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method.

(4)These investments were valued using unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3 investments. Fair value was determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Company’s board of directors ~~of the Company~~ (the ~~"Board"~~“Board”) (see Note 2 and Note 5), pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy.

(5)~~The interest rate floor on these investments as of March 31, 2021 was 1%.~~

~~(6)The interest rate floor on these investments as of March 31, 2021 was 0.5%.~~

~~(7)The interest rate floor on these investments as of March 31, 2021 was 0.75%.~~

~~(8)~~Assets or a portion thereof are pledged as collateral for the JPM Funding Facility (as defined in Note 6). See Note 6 “Debt”.

(6)The interest rate floor on these investments as of September 30, 2021 was 1.00%.

(7)The interest rate floor on these investments as of September 30, 2021 was 0.75%.

(8)The interest rate floor on these investments as of September 30, 2021 was 0.50%.

(9)The investment is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. The Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time of acquisition, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, non-qualifying assets represented 1%4.1% of total assets as calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements.

(10)Represents a senior unsecured note, which is subordinated to senior secured term loans of the portfolio company.

(11)Securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be deemed to be “restricted securities”. As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate fair value of these securities is $1,681 or 0.6% of the Company’s net assets. The initial acquisition dates have been included for such securities.

(12)Position or a portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion, although the investment may earn unused commitment fees.

Consolidated Schedule of Investments (Continued)

December 31, 2020

(In thousands)


(1)			Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt and equity investments held by the Company are denominated in dollars. For the purpose of this Consolidated Schedule of Investments, the term “Company” shall include the Company and its consolidated subsidiary. All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise indicated. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted. Certain portfolio company investments are subject to contractual restrictions on sales. Under the ~~Investment Company~~1940 Act, ~~of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “1940 Act”),~~ the Company would be deemed to “control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of such portfolio company's outstanding voting securities and/or held the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. As of December 31, 2020, the Company does not “control” any of these portfolio companies. Under the 1940 Act, the Company would be deemed an “affiliated person” of a portfolio company if the Company owns 5% or more of such portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities. As of December 31, 2020, the Company is not an “affiliated person” of any of its portfolio companies.
(2)			Variable rate loans to the portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that is determined by reference to either LIBOR (“L”) or an alternate base rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate (“F”) or the U.S. Prime Rate (“P”)), which generally resets periodically. For each loan, the Company has indicated the reference rate used and provided the spread and the interest rate in effect as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the reference rates for the Company's variable rate loans were the 1-month L at 0.14%, the 3-month L at 0.24% and the 6-month L at 0.26%.
(3)			The cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method.
(4)			These investments were valued using unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3 investments. Fair value was determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board ~~of Directors~~ (see Note 2 and Note 5), pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy.
(5)			The interest rate floor of these investments as of December 31, 2020 was 1%.
(6)			Assets or a portion thereof are pledged as collateral for the JPM Funding Facility (as defined in Note 6). See Note 6 “Debt”.
(7)			The interest rate floor ofon these investments as of December 31, 2020 was 0.75%.
(8)			Represents a senior unsecured note, which is subordinated to senior secured term loans of the portfolio company.
(9)			Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion, although the investment may earn unused commitment fees. Negative cost and fair value, if any, results from unamortized fees, which are capitalized to the cost of the investment. The unfunded loan commitment may be subject to a commitment termination date that may expire prior to the maturity date stated. See below for more information on the Company’s unfunded commitments as of December 31, 2020:

(1)Organization

SL Investment Corp. (together with its consolidated subsidiary, the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on August 24, 2020 and structured as an externally managed specialty finance company that is focused on lending to middle-market companies. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company ~~intends to elect~~has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

On September 24, 2020, the Company filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) in the State of Delaware to, among other things, authorize additional shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and to authorize shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) such that the Company has authorized stock consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

On September 24, 2020, the then sole stockholder approved the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act to the Company, effective as of September 25, 2020. As a result of the stockholder approval, effective September 25, 2020, the asset coverage ratio decreased to 150% from 200%, so long as the Company meets certain disclosure requirements under the 1940 Act.

The Company commenced investment operations in October 2020. The Company’s investment objective is to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns via current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by investing primarily in directly originated senior secured term loans issued by U.S. middle-market companies backed by financial sponsors.

On October 19, 2020, the Company sold 521 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for $1,000 per share to a select group of individual investors who are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

On February 1, 2021, the Company filed its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which amended and restated the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to clarify that the Company may be subject to provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1971, as amended (“ERISA”), during all periods when its assets are treated as ~~"plan assets"~~“plan assets” for purposes of ERISA.

The Company is conducting private offerings (the “Private Offerings”) of shares of Common Stock to investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities ~~Act of 1933, as amended.~~Act. At the closing of any Private Offering, each investor makes a capital commitment (a “Capital Commitment”) to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with the Company (each, a “Subscription Agreement”). Investors are required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of Common Stock up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments each time the Company delivers a notice to the investors.

SLIC Financing SPV LLC (“SLIC SPV”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on November 4, 2020. SLIC SPV expects to hold investments in first and second lien senior secured loans. SLIC SPV is consolidated in these consolidated financial statements commencing from the date of its formation.

(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). As an investment company, the Company applies the accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

~~reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC~~ 946”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The carrying value for all assets and liabilities approximates their fair value.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 and 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period presented, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that the Company may ultimately achieve for the year ending December 31, 2021. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Such amounts could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. Management’s estimates are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Assumptions and estimates regarding the valuation of investments involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity and these assumptions and estimates may be significant to the consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation

As provided under ASC 946, the Company will not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the ~~Company's~~Company’s consolidated subsidiary was SLIC SPV.

Cash

Cash is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company deposits its cash with multiple financial institutions and, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. ~~Realized gains~~Receivables/payables from investments sold/purchased on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities consist of amounts receivable to or ~~losses are measured~~payable by the ~~difference between~~Company for transactions that have not settled at the net proceeds received (excluding prepayment fees, if any) and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries.reporting date. The net change in unrealized gains or losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily reflects the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses with respect to investments realized during the period. See Note 5 for further information about fair value measurements.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortizations of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original

cost, including loan origination fees and upfront fees received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion

Table of Contents

SL Investment Corp.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income in the current period.

PIK Income

The Company has loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity. Such income is included in interest income inon the Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Operations. If at any point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest is generally reversed through interest income. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected cash.

Dividend income

Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Dividend income are presented net of withholding tax, if any.

Other Income

The Company may receive various fees in the ordinary course of business such as structuring, consent, waiver, amendment and syndication fees as well as fees for managerial assistance rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized in income when earned or when the services are rendered and there is no uncertainty or contingency related to the amount to be received.

Non-Accrual Income

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Realized Gains/Losses

Realized gains or losses ~~on investments~~ are measured by the difference between the net proceeds received (excluding prepayment fees, if any) and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification ~~method.~~method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries.

Organization and Offering Costs

Costs associated with the organization of the Company are expensed as incurred, subject to the limitations discussed below. These costs consist primarily of legal fees and other costs of organizing the Company. Costs associated with the offering of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock are capitalized as “deferred offering costs” on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over a twelve-month period from the initial capital call and Series A Preferred Stock ~~Issuance Date,~~issuance date, respectively, subject to the limitation described in Note 3 below. These costs consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with the Company’s continuous Private Offerings of its Common Stock and issuance of its Series A Preferred Stock.

Expenses

The Company pays the Investment Adviser a base management fee under the ~~Investment~~Restated Advisory Agreement as described in Note 3 below. The fee is recorded inon the Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Operations.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent upfront fees, legal and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These costs are deferred and will be amortized over the life of the related borrowings using the straight-line method. Deferred financing costs related to revolving credit facilities are presented separately as an asset on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company ~~intends to elect~~has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends.

In order to qualify as a RIC, the Company must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then the Company is generally required to pay income taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and gains it does not distribute.

The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require the Company to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (the “ICTI”), as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.

In addition, based on the excise distribution requirements, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in the preceding year. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions each taxable year to satisfy the excise distribution requirements.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes, if any, are included in income tax expense. SLIC SPV is a disregarded entity for tax purposes and is consolidated with the tax return of the Company.

For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $0 and $317 (dollar amount in actual), respectively, of U.S. federal excise ~~tax (dollar amount in actual).~~tax.

New Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”) “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This accounting update provides optional accounting relief to entities with contracts, hedge accounting relationships or other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ~~("LIBOR"~~(“LIBOR”) or other interest rate benchmarks for which the referenced rate is expected to be discontinued or replaced. This optional relief generally allows for contract modifications solely related to the replacement of the reference rate to be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contract instead of as an extinguishment of the contract, and would therefore not trigger certain accounting impacts that would otherwise be required. The optional relief can be applied beginning January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2022. We plan to apply the accounting relief as relevant contract relationship modifications are made during the course of the reference rate reform transition period.

Other than the accounting guidance described above, management does not believe any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

No material terms changed in the Restated Advisory Agreement as compared to the Investment Advisory Agreement entered into on September 24, 2020, including the Base Management Fee (as defined below).

The Company pays the Investment Adviser a fee for its services under the Restated Advisory Agreement (the ~~"Base~~“Base Management ~~Fee"~~Fee”). The cost of the Base Management Fee will ultimately be borne by holders of the Common Stock. As a part of the Restated Advisory Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse the Investment Adviser for certain expenses it incurs on the Company's behalf.

Base Management Fee

The Base Management Fee is calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Company’s average Capital Under Management, at the end of the then-current quarter and the prior calendar quarter (and, in the case of the Company's first quarter, Capital Under Management as of such quarter-end). “Capital Under Management” means cumulative capital called, less cumulative distributions categorized as returned capital. Capital Under Management does not include capital acquired through the use of leverage. The Investment Adviser ~~will~~does not receive any fees on unused capital commitments.

For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, ~~$55~~$137 and $276, respectively, of Base Management Fee was accrued to the Investment Adviser. For the period from August 24, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, the Company did not incur any Base Management Fee.

Expense Support and Waiver Agreement

On February 1, 2021, the Company entered into an expense support and waiver agreement (the “Expense Support and Waiver Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. Under the terms of the Expense Support and Waiver Agreement, the Investment Adviser agreed to waive any reimbursement by the Company of offering and organizational expenses to be incurred by the Investment Adviser on behalf of the Company in excess of $1,000 or 0.10% of the aggregate Capital Commitments of the Company, whichever is greater. If actual organization and offering costs incurred exceed the greater of $1,000 or 0.10% of the Company’s total Capital Commitments, the Investment Adviser or its affiliate will bear the excess costs. The Company shall reimburse the Investment Adviser for payments of any excess costs borne by the Investment Adviser on the ~~Company's~~Company’s behalf within three years of October 9, 2020.

For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company incurred ~~$129~~$20 and $201, respectively, towards organization cost and amortization of offering cost. These costs did not exceed the Investment Adviser reimbursement threshold, and as a result, no excess organization and offering costs were waived. For the period from August 24, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $182 towards organization cost.

Adviser Investment

On September 10, 2020, the Investment Adviser purchased all 1,000 of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $20.00 for an aggregate purchase price of $20 (the “Seed Capital”).

(5)Fair Value Measurements

The Company conducts the valuation of assets at all times consistent with U.S. GAAP and the 1940 Act. The ~~Company's~~Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), with the assistance of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), determines the fair value of the assets for assets with a daily public market, and for assets with no readily available public market, on at least a quarterly basis, in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). Valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below.

ASC 820 defines fair value as “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.” Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other

assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available. However, the objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is the same—to estimate the price when an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which ranks the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments

~~Table of Contents~~

~~SL Investment Corp.~~

~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)~~

~~(In thousands, except shares and per share data)~~

and their specific characteristics. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows:

Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the measurement date. The types of financial instruments in this category include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. ~~The Company will~~We do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments, even in situations where ~~the Company holds~~we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. The types of financial instruments in this category include less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in markets that are not active, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.

Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The types of financial instruments in this category include investments in privately held entities, non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given financial instrument is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument.

Pursuant to the framework set forth above, the Company values securities traded in active markets on the measurement date by multiplying the exchange closing price of such traded securities/instruments by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of the investments from pricing services, brokers or ~~dealers'~~dealers’ quotes, or counterparty marks in order to value liquid assets that are not traded in active markets. Pricing services aggregate, evaluate and report pricing from a variety of sources including observed trades of identical or similar securities, broker or dealer quotes, model-based valuations and internal fundamental analysis and research. When doing so, the Company ~~will determine~~determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to U.S. GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. If determined adequate, the Company ~~will use~~uses the quote obtained.

Securities that are illiquid or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser or the Board, does not represent fair value, each is valued as of the measurement date using all techniques appropriate under the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available. These valuation techniques may vary by investment but include comparable public market valuations, comparable precedent transaction valuations and discounted cash flow analyses. Non-controlled debt investments are generally fair valued using discounted cash flow technique. Expected cash flows are projected based on contractual terms and discounted back to the measurement date based on a discount rate. Discount rate is determined based upon an assessment of current and expected yields for similar investments and risk profiles. Non-controlled equity investments are generally fair valued using a market approach and/or an income approach. The market approach typically utilizes market value multiples of comparable publicly traded companies. The income approach typically utilizes a

discounted cash flow analysis of the portfolio company. The Board undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

(1)each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by ~~the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment~~ using a standardized template designed to approximate fair market value based on observable market inputs and updated credit statistics and unobservable inputs;

(2)preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and reviewed by a valuation committee comprised of members of the Investment ~~Adviser's~~Adviser’s senior management;

(3)the Board engages one independent third-party valuation firm to provide positive assurance on a portion of the Company’s illiquid investments each quarter (such that each illiquid investment will be reviewed by an independent

(4)the Audit Committee reviews the assessments of the Investment Adviser and the independent third-party valuation firm and provide the Board with recommendations with respect to the fair value of each investment in the ~~Company's~~Company’s portfolio; and

(5) the Board discusses the valuation recommendations of the Audit Committee and determine the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser and, where applicable, the third-party valuation firm.

The fair value is generally determined based on the assessment of the following factors, as relevant:

• the nature and realizable value of any collateral;

• call features, put features and other relevant terms of debt;

• the portfolio ~~company's~~company’s leverage and ability to make payments;

• the portfolio ~~company's~~company’s public or ~~"private letter"~~“private letter” credit ratings;

• the portfolio ~~company's~~company’s actual and expected earnings and discounted cash flow;

• prevailing interest rates for like securities and expected volatility in future interest rates;

• the markets in which the issuer does business and recent economic and/or market events; and

• comparisons to publicly traded securities.

Investment performance data utilized will be the most recently available as of the measurement date which in many cases may reflect up to a one quarter lag in information.

The Board is ultimately responsible for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of the ~~Company's~~Company’s portfolio investments.

During the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, there were $0 and $5,698 of portfolio investments ~~were~~ transferred into Level 3 from Level 2 at fair value, respectively, as of the beginning of the period in which the reclassification occurred, primarily due to decreased price transparency. ~~For the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were $5,698 of investments transferred into Level 3 from Level 2.~~

The significant unobservable input used in yield analysis is discount rate based on comparable market yields. Significant increases in discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. The significant unobservable input used in the market approach is the comparable company multiple. The multiple is used to estimate the enterprise value of the underlying investment. An increase/decrease in the multiple would result in an increase/decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

Financial instruments disclosed but not carried at fair value

The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s secured borrowings disclosed but not carried at fair value were as follows:

OVERVIEW

We are an externally managed specialty finance company formed on August 24, 2020 focused on lending to middle-market companies. We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the 1940 Act. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we ~~intend to elect~~have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.

Our investment objective is to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns via current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by investing primarily in directly originated senior secured term loans issued by U.S. middle-market companies backed by financial sponsors. For the purposes of this ~~report,~~Report, “middle-market companies” refers to companies that, in general, generate annual ~~EBITDA~~earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) in the range of approximately $15 million to $100 million, which we believe is a useful proxy for cash flow. We intend to achieve our investment objective by investing primarily in directly originated senior secured term loans including first lien senior secured term loans ~~(including unitranche loans)~~ and second lien senior secured term loans, higher-yielding assets such as mezzanine debt, unsecured debt, equity investments and other opportunistic asset purchases. Under normal market circumstances, we expect that investments other than first lien senior secured term loan would not exceed 10% of our gross assets at the time of acquisition of any such investments. Typical middle-market senior loans may be issued by middle-market companies in the context of ~~LBOs,~~leveraged buyouts (“LBOs”), acquisitions, debt refinancings, recapitalizations, and other similar transactions. We expect to generate revenues primarily in the form of interest income from investments we hold. In addition, we expect to generate income from ~~dividends~~distributions on any direct equity investments, capital gains on the ~~sales~~sale of loans and debt and equity ~~investments~~securities, and various other loan origination and other fees, including commitment, origination, amendment, syndication, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.

On September 18, 2020, the SEC granted our Investment Adviser exemptive relief (the “Order”) that allows us to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside certain Affiliated Investment Accounts (as defined in the Order), which are managed by our Investment Adviser or its affiliates, in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies, and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions specified in the Order. Pursuant to the Order, we are permitted to co-invest with our affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our eligible directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our investment objective and strategies.

Coronavirus Developments

The effect on the U.S. and global economy of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, uncertainty relating to more contagious strains of the Coronavirus that have emerged in the United States and globally, the efficiency and success of the global vaccine rollout, the length of economic recovery, and policies of the new U.S. presidential administration have created stress on the market and could affect our portfolio companies. In addition, government spending and disruptions in supply chains in the United States and elsewhere in response to the Coronavirus pandemic and otherwise, in conjunction with other factors, including those described above, have led and could continue to lead to inflationary economic environments that could affect our portfolio companies, our financial condition and our results of operations. Despite these factors, we believe we are very well positioned to manage the current environment. Our portfolio was constructed entirely “post-COVID-19” market dislocation and we believe we still have sufficient available capital to be prudently invested in the current credit environment. We intend to continue to deploy capital in a measured pace as we find what we believe are compelling investment opportunities, while seeking to avoid investing in cyclical industries and industries directly impacted by the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic.

We cannot predict the full impact of the Coronavirus pandemic, especially in light of the uncertainty surrounding more contagious strains of the virus that have emerged in the United States and globally and the potential impact on the vaccine rollout. ~~The economic impact~~While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved certain vaccines, including for emergency use, we cannot be certain if and when the United States and countries worldwide will achieve “herd immunity”. Any delay in the dissemination of the ~~Coronavirus pandemic is uncertain as~~vaccines and any unwillingness amongst the ~~duration and extent of~~population to get vaccinated could result in further social distancing measures and/or localized outbreaks, which may impede the travel restrictions, business closures and other measures that have been and may in the future be imposed on our portfolio companies, our service providers and other individuals by various local, state, and federal governmental authorities, as well as non-U.S. governmental authorities, is unknown.global economic recovery. As such, the extent to which Coronavirus and/or other health pandemics may negatively affect our and our portfolio companies’ operating results and financial condition, or the duration of any potential business or supply-chain disruption for us, our Investment Adviser and/or our portfolio companies, is uncertain. Depending on the

Table of Contents

duration and extent of the disruption to the operations of our portfolio companies, certain portfolio companies may experience financial distress and possibly default on their financial obligations to us and their other capital providers. Some of our portfolio companies may significantly curtail business operations, furlough or lay off employees and terminate service providers, and defer capital expenditures if subjected to prolonged and severe financial distress, which would likely impair their business on a permanent basis. These developments would likely result in a decrease in the value of our investment in any such portfolio company.

~~Table of Contents~~

We will continue to monitor the ~~rapidly~~ evolving situation relating to the Coronavirus pandemic and guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on such pronouncements. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our plan of operation. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of Coronavirus on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future.

Investment Strategy

Our primary investment strategy is to make privately negotiated senior secured credit investments in U.S. middle-market companies that have leading market positions, enjoy high barriers to entry, such as high ~~start-up~~startup costs or other obstacles that prevent new competitors from easily entering the portfolio ~~company's~~company’s industry or area of business, generate strong and stable free cash flow and are led by a proven management team with strong financial sponsor backing. Our investment approach is focused on long-term credit performance, risk mitigation and preservation of capital. Our Investment Adviser employs a highly rigorous, fundamentals-driven and disciplined investment process developed and refined by the investment professionals of the private credit platform of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, which is Morgan ~~Stanley's~~Stanley’s investment management unit and represents one of Morgan ~~Stanley's~~Stanley’s three business segments. ~~MS Capital Partners Adviser Inc., our investment adviser, or the~~Our Investment Adviser is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The experienced investment professionals of our Investment Adviser work on a particular transaction from origination to close and ~~continues~~continue to monitor each investment throughout its life cycle.

We seek to invest primarily in companies backed by leading private equity sponsors with strong track records. We believe lending to sponsor-backed companies (versus non-sponsor-backed companies) has many distinct potential advantages including:

•Strong, predictable deal flow given significant private equity committed capital;

•Well-capitalized borrowers, including access to additional capital from sponsors, if needed;

•Access to detailed financial, operational, industry data, and third-party legal and accounting due diligence reports conducted by the sponsor as part of their due diligence;

•Proper oversight and governance provided by a board of directors, coupled with industry and/or operating expertise;

•Natural alignment of interests between lender and sponsor given focus on exit strategy; and

•Supplemental diligence beyond the credit analysis of the borrower, given the ability to analyze track records of each private equity firm.

We intend to create and maintain a well-diversified, defensive portfolio of investments focusing on generally avoiding issuer or industry concentration in order to mitigate risk and achieve our investment objective. We intend to primarily focus on U.S. middle-market companies. However, to the extent that we invest in foreign companies, we intend to do so in accordance with the limitations under the 1940 Act and only in jurisdictions with established legal frameworks and a history of respecting creditor rights, including the United Kingdom and countries that are members of the European Union, as well as Canada, Australia and Japan. Our investment strategy is predicated on seeking to lend to companies in non-cyclical industry sectors (typically avoiding sectors such as retail, restaurants, energy, alcohol, tobacco, pork manufacturing, gaming and gambling, and pornography) with proven management teams.

KEY COMPONENTS OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Investments

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

Table of Contents

Revenue

We expect to generate revenue primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments we hold. In addition, we expect to generate income from dividends on direct equity investments, capital gains on the sales of loans and debt and equity securities and various loan origination and other fees. Our debt investments generally have a stated term of five to eight years and generally bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark such as the London Inter-bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR. Interest on these debt investments is generally paid quarterly. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the

~~Table of Contents~~

outstanding balances. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring, syndication or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of: (i) a base management fee to our Investment Adviser pursuant to the investment advisory agreement between us and our Investment Adviser, ~~(the “Investment advisory Agreement”);~~as amended and restated on February 1, 2021, or the Restated Advisory Agreement; (ii) costs and other expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by our Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the administration agreement between us and MS Private Credit Administrative Services LLC, our Administrator, ~~(as~~as amended and restated as of February 1, 2021, or the “Restated Administration Agreement”); and (iii) other operating expenses as detailed below:

Based on fair value as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, ~~99.7%~~99.9% of our debt portfolio was invested in debt bearing a floating interest rate. Approximately ~~99.7%~~99.9% of our debt investments at fair value had a LIBOR floor. The weighted average LIBOR floor across our debt investments was approximately ~~1.0%~~0.94% as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. These floors allow us to potentially mitigate (to a degree) the impact of spread widening on the valuation of our investments. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, our weighted average total yield on debt securities at amortized cost was 7.1%. Weighted average yields include the effect of accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums and are based on interest rates as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021.

As of December 31, 2020, we had investments in ~~seventeen~~17 portfolio companies across ~~twelve~~12 industries. Based on fair value as of December 31, 2020, 99.5% of our debt portfolio was invested in senior secured first lien debt bearing a floating interest rate and all of which are subject to a LIBOR floor. The weighted average LIBOR floor across our floating-rate portfolio was approximately 1.0% as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, our weighted average total yield on debt securities at amortized cost was 6.9%. Weighted average yields include the effect of accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums and are based on interest rates as of December 31, 2020.

Table of Contents

As part of the monitoring process, our Investment Adviser has developed risk policies pursuant to which it regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our debt investments. Our Investment Adviser has developed a classification system to group investments into four categories. The investments are evaluated regularly and assigned a category based on certain credit metrics. Our Investment ~~Adviser's~~Adviser’s ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or

~~Table of Contents~~

reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments. Please see below for a description of the four categories of the Investment ~~Adviser's~~Adviser’s Internal Risk Rating system:

Category 1 — In the opinion of our Investment Adviser, investments in Category 1 involve the least amount of risk relative to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. Category 1 investments performance is above our initial underwriting expectations and the business trends and risk factors are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company, or the likelihood of a potential exit.

Category 2 — In the opinion of our Investment Adviser, investments in Category 2 involve a level of risk relative to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. Category 2 investments are generally performing in line with our initial underwriting expectations and risk factors to ultimately recoup the cost of our principal investment are neutral to favorable. All new originated or acquired investments are initially included in Category 2.

Category 3 — In the opinion of our Investment Adviser, investments in Category 3 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition has increased materially since the origination or acquisition of the investment, such as declining financial performance and non-compliance with debt covenants; however, principal and interest payments are not more than 120 days past due.

Category 4 — In the opinion of our Investment Adviser, investments in Category 4 involve a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicate that the loan's risk has increased substantially since origination or acquisition. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For Category 4 investments, it is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition upon exit.

For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, total investment income was driven by our deployment of capital and invested balance of investments. All senior secured debt investments were income-producing as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021.

We received payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest income of $67 and $110 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The increase was driven by new investments made during the periods earning PIK interest income.

Interest income on our first and second lien debt investments is generally dependent on the composition and credit quality of the portfolio. Generally, we expect the portfolio to generate predictable quarterly interest income based on the terms stated in each loan’s credit agreement. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, and for the period then ended, all of our first and second lien debt investments were performing and current on their interest payments.

We earned $506 and $1,510 of other income from investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Other income was primarily comprised of syndication fees earned.

We did not earn any investment income for the period from August 24, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2020.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

During the period from ~~April~~October 1, 2021 through ~~May 11,~~November 12, 2021, the Company has closed or the Investment Adviser’s Investment Committee has committed/approved approximately ~~$205.1~~$303.6 million of new/add-on investments. This includes transactions for which a formal mandate, letter of intent or a signed commitment have been issued, and therefore the Company believes are likely to close. Of these new commitments, approximately 99.4% were first lien senior secured loans, ~~0.5%~~0.3% were second lien senior secured loans and ~~0.1%~~0.3% were ~~common~~ equity investments. 100% of the senior secured loans were floating rate loans. We remain highly focused on conducting extensive due diligence and leveraging the Morgan Stanley platform. We continue to seek to invest in companies that are led by strong management teams, generate substantial free cash flow, have leading market positions, benefit from sustainable business models, and are well positioned to perform well despite the impact of ~~Coronavirus.~~the Coronavirus pandemic. We believe the current market environment offers opportunities to seek compelling risk adjusted returns. Our investment pace will depend on several factors including the market environment, deal flow, and the continued impact of ~~Coronavirus.~~the Coronavirus pandemic.

On November 5, 2021, the Company delivered a capital drawdown notice to its stockholders for an aggregate offering price of ~~our~~approximately $75.0 million. The sale of Common Stock closed on ~~May 7,~~November 12, 2021.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Our critical accounting policies, including those relating to the valuation of our investment portfolio, should be read in connection with our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this ~~Form 10-Q, "Risk Factors"~~Report, “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this ~~Form 10-Q,~~Report, and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:

•the Restated Advisory Agreement;

•the Restated Administration Agreement; and

•Expense Support and Waiver Agreement.

See “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Related Party Transactions.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including valuation risk, market risk and interest rate risk.

Valuation Risk

We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities of portfolio companies. During periods of market dislocation, we will seek to invest prudently in the secondary loan market to provide our investors better risk adjusted returns while adhering to our core investment tenants. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Coronavirus Developments.” Most of our investments will not have a readily available market price. To ensure accurate valuation, our investments are valued at fair value in good faith by the board of directors, or the Board, based on, among other things, the input of the Investment Adviser, our Audit Committee and independent third-party valuation firm engaged at the direction of the Board, and in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the investments we hold. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.

Market Risk

The market value of a security may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than the price originally paid for it, or less than it was worth at an earlier time. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the market as a whole. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the probabilities that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region. Conditions affecting the general economy, including political, social, or economic instability at the local, regional, or global level may also affect the market value of a security. Health crises, such as pandemic and epidemic diseases, as well as other incidents that interrupt the expected course of events, such as natural disasters, war or civil disturbance, acts of terrorism, power outages and other unforeseeable and external events, and the public response to or fear of such diseases or events, have and may in the future have an adverse effect on ~~the Company’s~~our investments and net asset value and can lead to increased market volatility. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Coronavirus Developments.”

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, most significantly changes in interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we expect to fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is expected to be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, we can offer no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

In addition, the Coronavirus pandemic has resulted in a decrease in LIBOR and a general reduction of certain interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks. A continued decline in interest rates, including LIBOR, could result in a reduction of our gross investment income. In addition, our net investment income could also decline if such decreases in LIBOR are not offset by, among other things, a corresponding increase in the spread over LIBOR in our portfolio investments, a decrease in our operating expenses, or a decrease in the interest rates of our liabilities that are tied to LIBOR. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Coronavirus Developments.”

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, ~~99.7%~~99.9% of our debt investments were at floating rates. Based on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the following table shows the annualized impact on net income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors and ceilings for floating rate debt instruments assuming no changes in our investments and borrowing structure as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021) (dollar amounts in thousands):

We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts or our credit facilities subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. 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 or higher exchange rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates or investments denominated in foreign currencies. During the periods covered by this Report, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.
