(7)
This security is included in Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(8)
Investments that the Company has determined are not “qualifying assets” under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets. The status of these assets under the 1940 Act is subject to change. The Company monitors the status of these assets on an ongoing basis. As of September 30, 2023, non-qualifying assets represented approximately 26.37% of the total assets of the Company.
(9)
These are co-investments made with the Company’s affiliates in accordance with the terms of the exemptive order the Company received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permitting us to do so (see to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of the exemptive order from the SEC).

Note 5

 

(1)
Fair value is determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees of the Company (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements).
(2)
Aggregate gross unrealized gain and loss for federal income tax purposes is $9,946 and $135,828, respectively. Net unrealized loss is $125,882 based on a tax cost of $4,433,623.
(3)
Par amount is denominated in USD unless otherwise noted, British Pound (“£”), Australian Dollar (“A$”), European Euro ("€"), Swedish Krona ("kr") and Swiss Franc ("₣").
(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 Trustees (the “Board”) (see Note 2 and Note 4), pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy.
(5)
The negative fair value is the result of the commitment being valued below par.
(6)
All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise indicated.
(7)
This security is included in Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(8)
Investments that the Company has determined are not “qualifying assets” under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, we may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of our total assets. The status of these assets under the 1940 Act is subject to change. The Company monitors the status of these assets on an ongoing basis. As of December 31, 2022, non-qualifying assets represented approximately 26.73% of the total assets of the Company.
(9)
These are co-investments made with the Company’s affiliates in accordance with the terms of the exemptive order the Company received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permitting us to do so. (See to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of the exemptive order from the SEC.)
(10)
These debt investments are not pledged as collateral under any of the Company's credit facilities (see Note 6). For other debt investments that are pledged to the Company's credit facilities, a single investment may be divided into parts that are individually pledged as collateral to separate credit facilities.
(11)
The undrawn portion of these committed revolvers and delayed draw term loans includes a commitment and unused fee rate.
(12)
Unless otherwise indicated, loan contains a variable rate structure, and may be subject to an interest rate floor. Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”) (which can include one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR), the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "S") or an alternate base rate (which can include the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrower’s option, and which reset periodically based on the terms of the loan agreement. The terms in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments disclose the actual interest rate in effect as of the reporting period, and may be subject to interest floors.
(13)
The interest rate on these loans is subject to 1 month LIBOR, which as of December 31, 2022 was 4.39%

APOLLO DEBT SOLUTIONS BDC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. Organization

Apollo Debt Solutions BDC (the “Company,” “ADS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware statutory trust formed on December 4, 2020, is a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), and intends to qualify annually thereafter, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Apollo Credit Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is our investment adviser and is an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“AGM”). The Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Trustees, manages the day-to-day operations of the Company and provides investment advisory services to the Company.

Apollo Credit Management, LLC, as our administrator (the “Administrator”), provides, among other things, administrative services and facilities to the Company. Furthermore, the Administrator will offer to provide, on our behalf, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Company seeks to invest primarily in private credit opportunities in directly originated assets, including loans and other debt securities, made to or issued by large private U.S. borrowers, which ADS generally defines as companies with more than $75 million in EBITDA, as may be adjusted for market disruptions, mergers and acquisitions-related charges and synergies, and other items. While most of the Company’s investments will be in private U.S. companies (subject to compliance with BDC regulatory requirement to invest at least 70% of its assets in private U.S. companies), we also expect to invest from time to time in European and other non-U.S. companies. The investment portfolio may also include other interests such as corporate bonds, common stock, preferred stock, warrants or options, which generally would be obtained as part of providing a broader financing solution. Under normal circumstances, we will invest directly or indirectly at least 80% of our total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt instruments of varying maturities.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) pursuant to the requirements on Form 10-Q, ASC 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair statement of the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented, have been included.

Under the 1940 Act, ASC 946, and the regulations pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation S-X, we are precluded from consolidating any entity other than another investment company or an operating company which provides substantially all of its services to benefit us. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income, expenses, gains and losses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, credit worthiness of our portfolio companies and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.

Consolidation

As provided under Regulation S-X and 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 subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company's consolidated subsidiaries were Cardinal Funding LLC, Mallard Funding LLC, Grouse Funding LLC, ADS Titan SPV LLC, ADS Albatross SPV LLC, ADS Mantle SPV LLC, ADS Zorro SPV LLC, ADS Germantown SPV LLC, ADS Newark SPV LLC, ADS Opera SPV LLC and ADS Lemon SPV LLC.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and near maturity, that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only securities with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase would qualify, with limited exceptions. The Company deems that certain money market funds, U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements, and other high-quality, short-term debt securities would qualify as cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalents held as of September 30, 2023 was $322,938. Cash and cash equivalents held as of December 31, 2022 was $47,322.

Investments Transactions

Investments are recognized when we assume an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains and losses related to that instrument. Investments are derecognized when we assume an obligation to sell a financial instrument and forego the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Specifically, we record all security transactions on a trade date basis. Amounts for investments recognized or derecognized but not yet settled are reported as a receivable for investments sold and a payable for investments purchased, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), where fair value is defined 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 measurements are determined within a framework that establishes a three-tier hierarchy which maximizes the use of observable market data and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, such as the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value using a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs for the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. 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 Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the information available. The inputs or methodology used for valuing assets or liabilities may not be an indication of the risks associated with investing in those assets or liabilities.

ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:


Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.


Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.


Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The level assigned to the investment valuations may not be indicative of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in such investments. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may differ materially from the values that would be received upon an actual disposition of such investments.

Investment Valuation Process

The Board of Trustees has designated the Adviser as its "valuation designee" pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, and in that role the Adviser is responsible for performing fair value determinations relating to all of the Company's investments, including periodically assessing and managing any material valuation risks and establishing and applying fair value methodologies, in accordance with valuation policies and procedures that have been approved by the Company's Board of Trustees. Even though the Company's Board of Trustees designated the Company's Adviser as "valuation designee," the Company's Board of Trustees continues to be responsible for overseeing the processes for determining fair valuation.

Table of Contents

In calculating the value of our total assets, we value investments for which market quotations are readily available at such market quotations if they are deemed to represent fair value. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market price is not readily available or whose market quotations are not deemed to represent fair value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Adviser. Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value in certain circumstances where the Adviser reasonably believes that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser or the market for a particular security causes current market quotes not to reflect the fair value of the security. Examples of these events could include cases in which material events are announced after the close of the market on which a security is primarily traded, when a security trades infrequently causing a quoted purchase or sale price to become stale or in the event of a “fire sale” by a distressed seller.

If and when market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, we typically utilize independent third party valuation firms to assist us in determining fair value. Accordingly, such investments go through our multi-step valuation process as described below. The Adviser engages multiple independent valuation firms based on a review of each firm’s expertise and relevant experience in valuing certain securities. In each case, our independent valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such Level 3 categorized assets.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

(1)
Independent valuation firms engaged conduct independent appraisals and assessments for all the investments they have been engaged to review. If an independent valuation firm is not engaged during a particular quarter, the valuation may be conducted by the Adviser;
(2)
At least each quarter, the valuation will be reassessed and updated by the Adviser or an independent valuation firm to reflect company specific events and latest market data;
(3)
Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of our Adviser;
(4)
The Adviser discusses valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in our portfolio based on the input of the applicable independent valuation firm; and
(5)
For Level 3 investments entered into within the current quarter, the cost (purchase price adjusted for accreted original issue discount/amortized premium) or any recent comparable trade activity on the security investment shall be considered to reasonably approximate the fair value of the investment, provided that no material change has since occurred in the issuer’s business, significant inputs or the relevant environment.

Investments are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no significant changes to the Company’s valuation techniques and related inputs considered in the valuation process.

Derivative Instruments

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements.

Derivative instruments are measured in terms of the notional contract amount and derive their value based upon one or more underlying instruments. Derivative instruments are subject to various risks similar to non-derivative instruments including market, credit, liquidity, interest rate, foreign currency and operational risks. The Company manages these risks on an aggregate basis as part of its risk management process. The derivatives may require the Company to pay or receive an upfront fee or premium. These upfront fees or premiums are carried forward as cost or proceeds to the derivatives.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the Company's exposure to fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. In a foreign currency forward contract, the Company agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another at a pre-determined price at a future date. Foreign currency forward contracts are marked-to-market at the applicable forward rate. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts are recorded within derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. Purchases and settlements of foreign currency forward contracts having the same settlement date and counterparty are generally settled net and any realized gains or losses are recognized on the settlement date. The Company does not utilize hedge accounting with respect to foreign currency forward contracts and as such, the Company recognizes its foreign currency forward contracts at fair value with changes included in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge some or all of the Company's fixed rate debt. The Company has designated each interest rate swap held as the hedging instrument in an effective hedge accounting relationship, and therefore the periodic payments and receipts are recognized as components of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depending on the nature of the balance at period end, the fair value of the interest rate swap is either included as a derivative asset or derivative liability on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap is offset by a change in the carrying value of the fixed rate debt. Any amounts paid to the counterparty to cover collateral obligations under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement are included in other assets on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The Company has elected to offset cash collateral against the fair value of derivative contracts. The fair values of these derivatives are presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities when, and only when, they are with the same counterparty, the Company has the legal right to offset the recognized amounts, and it intends to either settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Valuation of Other Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, permits an entity to choose, at specified election dates, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value (the “Fair Value Option”). We have not elected the Fair Value Option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities. Debt issued by the Company is reported at amortized cost adjusted for fair value fluctuations of interest rate swaps in qualifying hedge accounting relationships (see Notes 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements). The carrying value of all other financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturities or their close proximity of the originations to the measurement date.

Realized Gains or Losses

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are calculated by using the specific identification method. Securities that have been called by the issuer are recorded at the call price on the call effective date.

Investment Income 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 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 may have loans in its portfolio that contain 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 in the Company’s Consolidated 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 shareholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected cash.

Dividend Income

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies.

Fee Income

The Company may receive various fees in the ordinary course of business such as structuring, consent, waiver, amendment, syndication fees as well as fees for managerial assistance rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

 

54


Table of Contents

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 is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Expenses

Expenses include management fees, performance-based incentive fees, interest expense, insurance expenses, administrative service fees, legal fees, trustees’ fees, audit and tax service expenses, third-party valuation fees and other general and administrative expenses. Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

Organization Expenses

Costs associated with the organization of the Company were expensed as incurred. These expenses consisted primarily of legal fees and other costs of organizing the Company.

Offering Expenses

Costs associated with the offering of the Company’s shares are capitalized as “deferred offering costs” on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over a twelve-month period from incurrence. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with the Company’s continuous offering.

Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Issuance Costs

Deferred financing and debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These expenses are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method. Debt issuance costs related to any issuance of installment debt or notes are presented net against the outstanding debt balance of the related security.

Foreign Currency Translations

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the foreign exchange rate on the date of valuation. The Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The Company’s investments in foreign securities may involve certain risks, including without limitation: foreign exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic risks, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investment. In addition, changes in the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of these investments and therefore the earnings of the Company.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses

Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Distributions

Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board of Trustees and will depend on the Company's earnings, financial condition, maintenance of our tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time. Although the gross distribution per share is generally equivalent for each share class, the net distribution for each share class is reduced for any class specific expenses, including distribution and servicing fees, if any.

Share Repurchases

In connection with the Company’s share repurchase programs, the cost of shares repurchased is charged to net assets on the trade date.

Table of Contents

Federal and State Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must (among other requirements) meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company (among other requirements) has made and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from corporate-level income taxes. For income tax purposes, distributions made to stockholders are reported as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. The tax character of distributions paid to stockholders through September 30, 2023 may include return of capital, however, the exact amount cannot be determined at this point. The final determination of the tax character of distributions will not be made until we file Form 1099s for the tax year ending December 31, 2023. The character of income and gains that we will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividend and distributions and other permanent book and tax difference are reclassified to paid-in capital.

If we do not distribute (or are not deemed to have distributed) at least 98% of our annual ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital gain net income for the 1-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year, we will generally be required to pay excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which 98% of our annual ordinary income and 98.2% of our capital gains exceed the distributions from such taxable income for the year. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, we accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated undistributed taxable income.

If we fail to satisfy the annual distribution requirement or otherwise fail to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, we would be subject to tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distribution would generally be taxable to our individual and other non-corporate taxable stockholders as ordinary dividend income eligible for the reduced maximum rate applicable to qualified dividend income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits provided certain holding period and other requirements are met. Subject to certain limitation under the Code, corporate distributions would be eligible for the dividend-received deduction. To qualify again to be taxed as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to distribute to our stockholders our accumulated earnings and profits attributable to non RIC years. In addition, if we failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, then, in order to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to elect to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gain (the excess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if we had been liquidated) or, alternatively, be subject to taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a period of five years.

We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Penalties or interest, if applicable, that may be assessed relating to income taxes would be classified as other operating expenses in the consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2023, there were no uncertain tax positions and no amounts accrued for interest or penalties. Management’s determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Although we file both federal and state income tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal.

Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

Investment Advisory Agreement

On July 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser will manage the Company on a day-to-day basis. The Adviser is responsible for originating prospective investments, conducting research and due diligence investigations on potential investments, analyzing investment opportunities, negotiating and structuring the Company’s investments and monitoring its investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis.

The Advisory Agreement is effective for an initial two-year term and thereafter will continue for successive annual periods provided that such continuance is specifically approved annually by a majority of the Board or by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities and, in each case, a majority of the independent trustees. The Company may terminate the Advisory Agreement, without payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written notice. The Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment within the meaning of the 1940 Act and related SEC guidance and interpretations. On July 20, 2023, the Advisory Agreement was renewed and continued for an additional one-year period ending on July 22, 2024.

The Company pays the Adviser a fee for its services under the Advisory Agreement consisting of two components, a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and the incentive fee will ultimately be borne by the shareholders. Substantial additional fees and expenses may also be charged by the Administrator to the Company, which is an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser agreed to waive the management fee and incentive fee based on income through July 7, 2022.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the value of the Company’s net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month. For purposes of the Advisory Agreement, net assets means our total assets less liabilities determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For the first calendar month in which the Company had operations, net assets was measured as the beginning net assets as of the date on which the Company broke escrow for the initial offering. The Adviser agreed to waive the management fee and incentive fee based on income through July 7, 2022.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee consists of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the incentive fee is based on a percentage of our income and a portion is based on a percentage of our capital gains, each as described below.

A. Incentive Fee based on Income

The portion based on our income is based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns” means, as the context requires, either the dollar value of, or percentage rate of return on the value of net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter from, interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that are received from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement entered into between the Company and the Administrator, and any interest expense or fees on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the incentive fee and any distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees).

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns include, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that has not yet been received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The impact of expense support payments and recoupments are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns.

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter, is compared to a “hurdle rate” of return of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized).

 

57


Table of Contents

The Company pays its Adviser an income based incentive fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in each calendar quarter as follows:

No incentive fee based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized);
100% of the dollar amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than a rate of return of 1.43% (5.72% annualized). This “catch-up” portion is meant to provide the Adviser with approximately 12.5% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.43% in any calendar quarter; and
12.5% of the dollar amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceed a rate of return of 1.43% (5.72% annualized). This reflects that once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 12.5% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns thereafter are allocated to the Adviser.

These calculations are pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. The Adviser agreed to waive the incentive fee based on income through July 7, 2022.

B. Incentive Fee based on Cumulative Net Realized Gains

The second part of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year in an amount equal to 12.5% of realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year. Fees are computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $9,543 and $24,693 respectively, of management fees, and $11,529 and $30,117, respectively, of incentive fees before impact of waived fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, no management fees and incentive fees were waived.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $5,979 and $14,209 respectively, of management fees, and $5,884 and $10,625, respectively, of incentive fees before impact of waived fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, $366 and $8,596 respectively, of management fees, were waived and $386 and $5,127, of incentive fees, were waived.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, management and performance-based incentive fees payable were $14,901 and $10,451.

Fees From Affiliates

From time-to-time various affiliates of Adviser are involved in transactions whereby certain fees, including but not limited to, structuring, underwriting, arrangement, placement, syndication, advisory or similar services (collectively, “Capital Solution” services) are earned and rebated back to the funds. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 the Company received $991 and $1,459 in fee rebates from affiliates related to Capital Solution services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company received $2,355 and $5,768 in fee rebates from affiliates related to Capital Solution services.

Administration Agreement

On July 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator. Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator will provide, or oversee the performance of, administrative and compliance services, including, but not limited to, maintaining financial records, overseeing the calculation of net asset value (“NAV”), compliance monitoring (including diligence and oversight of other service providers), preparing reports to shareholders and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), preparing materials and coordinating meetings of the Company’s Board of Trustees, managing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others and providing office space, equipment and office services. The Company will reimburse the Administrator for the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. Such reimbursement will include the Company’s allocable portion of compensation, overhead (including rent, office equipment and utilities) and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, including but not limited to: (i) the Company’s chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs; (ii) investor relations, legal, operations and other non-investment professionals at the Administrator that perform duties for the Company; and (iii) any internal audit group personnel of AGM or any of its affiliates, subject to the limitations described in Advisory and Administration Agreements. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator may delegate its obligations under the Administration Agreement to an affiliate or to a third party and the Company will reimburse the Administrator for any services performed by such affiliate or third party. The Administrator hired a sub-administrator to assist in the provision of administrative services. The sub-administrator will receive compensation for its sub-administrative services under a sub-administration agreement.

Sub-Administration Agreement

On January 6, 2022, the Administrator entered into a sub-administration agreement (the “Sub-Administration Agreement”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company. The sub-administrator will receive compensation for its sub-administrative services under the Sub-Administration Agreement.

Intermediary Manager Agreement

On November 10, 2021, the Company entered into an Intermediary Manager Agreement (the “Intermediary Manager Agreement”) with Apollo Global Securities, LLC. (the “Intermediary Manager”), an affiliate of the Adviser, which is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Under the terms of the Intermediary Manager Agreement, the Intermediary Manager will serve as the intermediary manager for the Company’s public offering of its common shares. The Intermediary Manager will be entitled to receive distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 0.85% of the value of the Company’s net assets attributable to Class S shares as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month. The Intermediary Manager will be entitled to receive distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 0.25% of the value of the Company’s net assets attributable to Class D shares as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month. No distribution and/or shareholding servicing fees will be paid with respect to Class I. The distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees will be payable to the Intermediary Manager, but the Intermediary Manager anticipates that all or a portion of the shareholder servicing fees will be retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating broker-dealers.

The Company will cease paying the distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees on the Class S shares and Class D shares on the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a listing of Class I shares, (ii) a merger or consolidation with or into another entity, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (iii) the date following the completion of the primary portion of our offering on which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources in connection with the offering, including the distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees and other underwriting compensation, is equal to 10% of the gross proceeds from the primary offering. In addition, the Company will cease paying the distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees on any Class S share and Class D share in a shareholder’s account at the end of the month in which the Intermediary Manager in conjunction with the transfer agent determines that total brokerage commissions and distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees paid with respect to any such share held by such shareholder within such account would exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such share. At the end of such month, each such Class S share or Class D share will convert into a number of Class I shares (including any fractional shares), with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such share.

The Intermediary Manager is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC is a member of FINRA.

The Intermediary Manager Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Company’s trustees who are not “interested persons”, as defined in the 1940 Act, of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Company’s distribution plan or the Intermediary Manager Agreement or by vote a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, on not more than 60 days’ written notice to the Intermediary Manager or the Adviser. The Intermediary Manager Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Distribution and Servicing Plan

On July 22, 2021, the Board approved a distribution and servicing plan (the “Distribution and Servicing Plan”). On November 14, 2022, the Board approved amending the Distribution and Servicing Plan to update the effective date to October 29, 2021, the Registration Statement effective date. The following table shows the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees the Company will pay the Intermediary Manager with respect to the Class S, Class D and Class I on an annualized basis as a percentage of the Company’s NAV for such class. No shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees will be paid with respect to Class I. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution monthly in arrears, calculated using the NAV of the applicable class as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month.

Subject to FINRA and other limitations on underwriting compensation, the Company will pay a shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee equal to 0.85% per annum of the Company’s net assets attributable to Class S shares as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month and a shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee equal to 0.25% per annum of the Company’s net assets attributable to Class D shares as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month.

The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees is paid monthly in arrears, calculated using the NAV of the applicable class as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month and subject to FINRA and other limitations on underwriting compensation.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company accrued distribution and shareholder servicing fees of $1,105 and $2,462, which were attributable to Class S shares, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company accrued distribution and shareholder servicing fees of $1 and $3, which were attributable to Class D shares, respectively.

Table of Contents

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company accrued distribution and shareholder servicing fees of $390 and $664, which were attributable to Class S shares, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. the Company accrued distribution and shareholder servicing fees of $1 and $1, which were attributable to Class D shares, respectively.

The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are similar to sales commissions. The distribution and servicing expenses borne by the participating brokers may be different from and substantially less than the amount of shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees charged. The Intermediary Manager will reallow (pay) all or a portion of the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees to participating brokers and servicing brokers for ongoing shareholder services performed by such brokers, and will waive shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees to the extent a broker is not eligible to receive it for failure to provide such services. All or a portion of the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee may be used to pay for sub-transfer agency, sub-accounting and certain other administrative services that are not required to be paid pursuant to the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees under FINRA rules. The Company also may pay for these sub-transfer agency, sub- accounting and certain other administrative services outside of the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees and its Distribution and Servicing Plan. Because the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees with respect to Class S shares and Class D shares are calculated based on the aggregate NAV for all of the outstanding shares of each such class, it reduces the NAV with respect to all shares of each such class, including shares issued under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan.

Eligibility to receive the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee is conditioned on a broker providing the following ongoing services with respect to the Class S or Class D shares: assistance with recordkeeping, answering investor inquiries regarding us, including regarding distribution payments and reinvestments, helping investors understand their investments upon their request, and assistance with share repurchase requests. If the applicable broker is not eligible to receive the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee due to failure to provide these services, the Intermediary Manager will waive the shareholder servicing fee and/or distribution that broker would have otherwise been eligible to receive. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are ongoing fees that are not paid at the time of purchase.

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

The Company entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Support Agreement”) with the Adviser. The Adviser may elect to pay certain expenses (each, an “Expense Payment”), provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any interest or distributions and/or shareholder servicing fees of the Company. Any Expense Payment that the Adviser has committed to pay must be paid by the Adviser to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than forty-five days after such commitment was made in writing, and/or offset against amounts due from the Company to the Adviser or its affiliates.

Following any calendar month in which Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Company’s shareholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar month (the amount of such excess being hereinafter referred to as “Excess Operating Funds”), the Company shall pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof, to the Adviser until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Adviser to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar month have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company shall be referred to herein as a “Reimbursement Payment”. “Available Operating Funds” means the sum of (i) net investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gains reduced by net long-term capital losses), (ii) net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above).

No Reimbursement Payment for any month will be made if: (1) the “Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share” (as defined below) declared by the Company at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is less than the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates, or (2) our “Operating Expense Ratio” (as defined below) at the time of such Reimbursement Payment is greater than the Operating Expense Ratio at the time the Expense Payment was made to which such Reimbursement Payment relates. Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, “Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share” means the annualized rate (based on a 365 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, less organizational and offering expenses, base management and incentive fees owed to Adviser, and interest expense, by our net assets.

The Company’s obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment shall automatically become a liability of the Company on the last business day of the applicable calendar month, except to the extent the Adviser has waived its right to receive such payment for the applicable month.

Co-Investment Activity

We may co-invest on a concurrent basis with affiliates of ours, subject to compliance with applicable regulations and our allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only in accordance with the Order from the SEC permitting us to do so. Under the terms of the Order, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent trustees must be able to reach certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction are reasonable and fair to us and our shareholders and do not involve overreaching of us or our shareholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our shareholders and is consistent with our Board of Trustees’ approved criteria. In certain situations where co-investment with one or more funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates is not covered by the Order, the personnel of the Adviser or its affiliates will need to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. Such personnel will make these determinations based on allocation policies and procedures, which are designed to reasonably ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among affiliated funds over time and in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Order is subject to certain terms and conditions so there can be no assurance that we will be permitted to co-invest with certain of our affiliates other than in the circumstances currently permitted by regulatory guidance and the Order.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s co-investment holdings were 53.2% of the portfolio or $2,813,904, measured at fair value. On a cost basis, 52.7% of the portfolio or $2,795,926 were co-investments. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s co-investment holdings were 39.1% of the portfolio or $1,682,724, measured at fair value. On a cost basis, 37.8% of the portfolio or $1,672,524 were co-investments.

Escrow Agreement

On October 14, 2021, the Company entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with UMB Bank, N.A. The Company received purchase orders and held investors’ funds in an interest-bearing escrow account until it received purchase orders for at least $100 million (excluding any shares purchased by the Adviser, its affiliates and the Company’s trustees and officers but including any shares purchased in any rings), and the Board authorized the release of the escrowed purchase order proceeds to the Company, which occurred on January 7, 2022. The Company continues to engage UMB Bank, N.A. for monthly subscription proceeds received as part of the public offering of the Company’s shares.

The weighted average information is generally derived by assigning each disclosed unobservable input a proportionate weight based on the fair value of the related investment. For the commodity price unobservable input, the weighted average price is an undiscounted price based upon the estimated production level from the underlying reserves.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and equity securities are primarily earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) comparable multiples and market discount rates. The Company typically uses EBITDA comparable multiples on its equity securities to determine the fair value of investments. The Company uses market discount rates for debt securities to determine if the effective yield on a debt security is commensurate with the market yields for that type of debt security. If a debt security’s effective yield is significantly less than the market yield for a similar debt security with a similar credit profile, the resulting fair value of the debt security may be lower. For certain investments where fair value is derived based on a recovery analysis, the Company uses underlying commodity prices from third party market pricing services to determine the fair value and/or recoverable amount, which represents the proceeds expected to be collected through asset sales or liquidation. Further, for certain investments, the Company also considered the probability of future events which are not in management’s control. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the structured products include the discount rate applied in the valuation models in addition to default and recovery rates applied to projected cash flows in the valuation models. Specifically, when a discounted cash flow model is used to determine fair value, the significant input used in the valuation model is the discount rate applied to present value the projected cash flows. Increases in the discount rate can significantly lower the fair value of an investment; conversely decreases in the discount rate can significantly increase the fair value of an investment. The discount rate is determined based on the market rates an investor would expect for a similar investment with similar risks.

Senior Secured Facility

On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into a senior secured, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (the “Senior Secured Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The aggregate lender commitments under the Senior Secured Facility on March 11, 2022 were $1.835 billion. On June 7, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to its Senior Secured Facility to increase the multicurrency commitments from $1.835 billion to $2.085 billion. The Company may seek additional commitments from new and existing lenders in the future, up to an aggregate facility size not to exceed approximately $2.753 billion. The scheduled maturity date of the Senior Secured Facility is March 11, 2027.

Loans under the Senior Secured Facility denominated in US dollars will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the base rate plus a spread of 0.75% to 0.875% or the term SOFR rate plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and spread of 1.75% to 1.875%, in each case, with such spread being determined based on the total amount of the Gross Borrowing Base relative to the total Combined Debt Amount, as of the date of determination. Loans under the Senior Secured Facility denominated in currencies other than US dollars will bear interest at certain local rates consistent with market standards. Interest on loans denominated in dollars is due and payable in arrears quarterly for loans bearing interest at the base rate and at the end of the applicable interest period in the case of loans bearing interest at the term SOFR rate (or at each three month interval in the case of loans with interest periods greater than three months). Interest on loans denominated in currencies other than US dollars is due and payable in a manner consistent with market standards. The Company is also obligated to pay other customary closing fees, arrangement fees, administration fees, commitment fees and letter of credit fees for a credit facility of this size and type.

The Company’s obligations to the lenders under the Senior Secured Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets.

In connection with the Senior Secured Facility, the Company has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. In addition, the Company must comply with the following financial covenants: (a) the Company must maintain a minimum shareholders’ equity, measured as of each fiscal quarter end; and (b) the Company must maintain at all times a 150% asset coverage ratio.

The Senior Secured Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. may terminate the commitments and declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Senior Secured Facility immediately due and payable.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the Senior Secured Facility.

SPV Financing Facilities

The following wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company have entered into secured financing facilities, as described below: Cardinal Funding LLC, Mallard Funding LLC, and Grouse Funding LLC, which are collectively referred to as the “SPVs”, and the secured financing facilities described below are collectively referred to as the “SPV Financing Facilities”.

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

In connection with the SPV Financing Facilities, the applicable SPV has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. Each SPV Financing Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including if a change of control of the applicable SPV occurs. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the lenders under the applicable SPV Financing Facility may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the applicable SPV Financing Facility immediately due and payable. The occurrence of an event of default (as described above) triggers a requirement that the applicable SPV obtain the consent of the lenders under the applicable SPV Financing Facility prior to entering into any sale or disposition with respect to portfolio investments.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the SPV Financing Facilities.

Private Placement Bonds

2022 Series A Notes

On November 15, 2022, the Company priced an offering of $200 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Unsecured Notes (the “2022 Series A Notes”) to institutional investors in a private placement. The Notes are comprised of $62 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 (the “December 2025 Notes”), $38 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the “January 2026 Notes”), $82 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2027 (the “December 2027 Notes”), and $18 million Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 (the “January 2028 Notes”). The issuances of the 2022 Series A Notes occurred in two installments on December 21, 2022 and January 19, 2023. The December 2025 and January 2026 Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.21% per annum and are due on December 21, 2025 and January 19, 2026, respectively. The December 2027 and January 2028 Notes have a fixed interest rate of 8.31% per annum and are due on December 21, 2027 and January 19, 2028, respectively. Interest on the Notes is due and payable semiannually. These interest rates are subject to increase (up to a maximum increase of 1.00% above the stated rate for each of the 2022 Series A Notes) in the event that, subject to certain exceptions, the 2022 Series A Notes cease to have an investment grade rating. There is no guarantee of the successful placement of the 2022 Series A Notes or that the closing of the 2022 Series A Notes will occur as anticipated.

In connection with the 2022 Series A Notes, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to more closely align the interest rates of the Company’s liabilities with the Company’s investment portfolio, which consists of predominately floating rate loans. Under the interest rate swap agreement related to the December 2025 Notes, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 4.02% per annum and pays a floating interest rate at a rate determined by three-month SOFR per annum on $62 million of the 2025 Notes. Under the interest rate swap agreement related to the January 2026 Notes, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 3.97% per annum and pays a floating interest rate at a rate determined by three-month SOFR per annum on $38 million of the 2026 Notes. Under the interest rate swap agreement related to the December 2027 Notes, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 3.67% per annum and pays a floating interest rate at a rate determined by three-month SOFR per annum on $82 million of the 2027 Notes. Under the interest rate swap agreement related to the January 2028 Notes, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 3.65% per annum and pays a floating interest rate at a rate determined by three-month SOFR per annum on $18 million of the 2028 Notes. The Company designated each interest rate swap as the hedging instrument in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship.

2023 Series A Notes

On August 10, 2023, the Company priced an offering of $650 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Unsecured Notes (the “2023 Series A Notes”) to institutional investors in a private placement. The 2023 Series A Notes are comprised of $226 million Senior Unsecured Notes due September 28, 2026 (the “September 2026 Notes”), $325 million Senior Unsecured Notes due September 28, 2028 (the “September 2028 Notes”), and €90 million Senior Unsecured Notes due September 28, 2026 (the “September 2026 Euronotes”) . The issuances are expected to close on September 28, 2023. The September 2026 Notes, September 2028 Notes and September 2026 Euronotes have fixed interest rates of 8.54%, 8.62%, and 7.02% per annum, respectively. Interest on the Notes is due and payable semiannually. These interest rates are subject to increase (up to a maximum increase of 1.00% above the stated rate for each of the September 2026 Notes, September 2028 Notes and September 2026 Euronotes) in the event that, subject to certain exceptions, the 2023 Series A Notes cease to have an investment grade rating. These interest rates are subject to increase (up to a maximum increase of 1.50% above the stated rate for each of the September 2026 Notes, September 2028 Notes and September 2026 Euronotes) in the event that, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s Secured Debt Ratio exceeds 60% up to August 31, 2024, and 55% subsequent to August 31, 2024. These interest rates are subject to increase (up to a maximum increase of 2.00% above the stated rate for each of the September 2026 Notes, September 2028 Notes and September 2026 Euronotes) in the event that, subject to certain exceptions, the 2023 Series A Notes cease to have an investment grade rating and the Secured Debt Ratio event has occurred as disclosed above. There is no guarantee of the successful placement of the Notes or that the closing of the 2023 Series A Notes will occur as anticipated.

In connection with the 2023 Series A Notes, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to more closely align the interest rates of the Company’s liabilities with the Company’s investment portfolio, which consists of predominately floating rate loans. Under the interest rate swap agreement related to the September 2026 Notes, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 8.54% per annum and pays a floating interest rate of SOFR + 4.18% per annum on $226 million of the 2026 Notes. Under the interest rate swap agreement related to the September 2028 Notes, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 8.62% per annum and pays a floating interest rate of SOFR + 4.56% per annum on $325 million of the September 2028 Notes. Under the interest rate swap agreement related to the September 2026 Euronotes, the Fund receives a fixed interest rate of 7.02% per annum and pays a floating interest rate of ESTR + 3.72% per annum on €90 million of the September 2026 Euronotes. The Company designated each interest rate swap as the hedging instrument in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship.

Net Asset Value per Share and Offering Price

The Company determines NAV for each class of shares as of the last day of each calendar month. Share issuances related to monthly subscriptions are effective the first calendar day of each month. Shares are issued at an offering price equivalent to the most recent NAV per share available for each share class, which will be the prior calendar day NAV per share (i.e. the prior month-end NAV). The following table summarizes each month-end NAV per share for Class S, Class D and Class I common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which the Company will reinvest all cash dividends declared by the Board on behalf of our shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash as provided below. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend or other distribution, then shareholders who have not opted out of our distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares as described below, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution. Distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places.

Character of Distributions

The Company may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any source of funds available to the Company, including but not limited to offering proceeds, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense support from the Adviser, which is subject to recoupment.

Through September 30, 2023, a portion of the Company’s distributions resulted from expense support from the Adviser, and future distributions may result from expense support from the Adviser, each of which is subject to repayment by the Company within three years from the date of payment. The purpose of this arrangement avoids distributions being characterized as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Shareholders should understand that any such distribution is not based solely on the Company’s investment performance, and can only be sustained if the Company achieves positive investment performance in future periods and/or the Adviser continues to provide expense support. Shareholders should also understand that the Company’s future repayments of expense support will reduce the distributions that they would otherwise receive. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the performance necessary to sustain these distributions, or be able to pay distributions at all.

Sources of distributions, other than net investment income and realized gains on a U.S. GAAP basis, include required adjustments to U.S. GAAP net investment income in the current period to determine taxable income available for distributions. The following table reflects the sources of cash distributions on a U.S. GAAP basis that the Company has declared on its shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

Share Repurchase Program

At the discretion of our Board of Trustees, the Company has commenced a share repurchase program in which it intends to repurchase the Company’s common shares outstanding as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. The Board of Trustees may amend or suspend the share repurchase program if in its reasonable judgment it deems such action to be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of our shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. Should the Board of Trustees suspend the share repurchase program, the Board of Trustees will consider whether the continued suspension of the program is in the best interests of the Company and shareholders on a quarterly basis. The Company intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

Under the share repurchase plan, to the extent the Company offers to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, it is expected to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers on or around the last business day of that quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”). The one-year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective repurchase date. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Company for the benefit of remaining shareholders.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has various commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, including commitments to issue letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had the following unfunded commitments to its portfolio companies:

Total Unfunded Commitments (4)

 

 

$

504,341

 

$

435,064

(1)
The unfunded revolver obligations may or may not be funded to the borrowing party in the future. The amounts relate to loans with various maturity dates, but the entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers as of September 30, 2023, subject to the terms of each loan’s respective credit agreements which includes borrowing covenants that need to be met prior to funding. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the bridge loan and backstop commitments included in the balances were $30,777 and $93,000.
(2)
For all these letters of credit issued and outstanding, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. None of the letters of credit issued and outstanding are recorded as a liability on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as such letters of credit are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company.
(3)
The Company’s commitment to fund delayed draw loans is triggered upon the satisfaction of certain pre-negotiated terms and conditions which can include covenants to maintain specified leverage levels and other related borrowing base covenants. For commitments to fund delayed draw loans with performance thresholds, borrowers are required to meet certain performance requirements before the Company is obligated to fulfill these commitments.
(4)
Additionally, from time to time, the Adviser and its affiliates may commit to an investment on behalf of the funds it manages, including the Company. Certain terms of these investments are not finalized at the time of the commitment and each respective fund's allocation may change prior to the date of funding. In this regard, the Company may have to fund additional commitments in the future that it is currently not obligated to but may be at a future point in time.

 

Organizational and Offering Costs

The Adviser agreed to bear all of the Company’s organization and offering expenses through the date on which the Company broke escrow for the initial offering of its common shares. The Company is obligated to reimburse the Adviser for such expenses incurred upon breaking escrow for our offering. The Company did not incur organization and offering costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The total organization and offering costs incurred three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $2,940 and $2,940, which were recognized by the Company when it broke escrow for the initial offering of its common shares.

Warehousing Transactions

The Company entered into a warehousing transaction whereby the Company agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase certain assets from parties unaffiliated with the Adviser. The warehousing transaction was designed to assist the Company in deploying capital upon receipt of subscription proceeds.

On February 22, 2021, the Company entered into a Facility Agreement (“Facility Agreement”), which was subsequently amended on August 17, 2021, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Financing Provider”). The Facility Agreement creates a forward obligation of the Financing Provider to sell, and a forward obligation of the Company, or its designee, to purchase certain investments (the “Portfolio Investments”) owned and held by the Financing Provider at the Company’s request. Pursuant to the Facility Agreement, the Company may request the Financing Provider to acquire Portfolio Investments as it designates from time to time, which the Financing Provider can approve or reject in its sole and absolute discretion. Prior to any sale to the Company, the Portfolio Investments will be owned and held solely for the account of the Financing Provider. ADS will have no obligation to purchase the Portfolio Investments under the Facility Agreement until such time the Company has received subscriptions for its shares of at least $600 million (the “Capital Condition”). After the Company has met the Capital Condition, it will be obligated to purchase the Portfolio Investments from the Financing Provider on or before February 22, 2022 (the “Facility End Date”). ADS may elect, but is not obligated to, purchase Portfolio Investments prior to the Facility End Date or prior to or without meeting the Capital Condition. In consideration for the forward arrangement provided by the Financing Provider (the amount of the arrangement will not exceed $250 million before May 22, 2021 and $500 million between such date and the Facility End Date (the “Financing Amount”), the Company has agreed to pay certain fees and expenses to the Financing Provider, including (i) a facility fee at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.77% multiplied by the cash amount paid by the Financing Provider (subject to adjustment for, among other things, cash amounts received by the Financing Provider) for such Portfolio Investment (the “Funded Amount”) while it is being held by the Financing Provider, (ii) an unused fee at an annual rate of 0.50% of the unused Financing Amount minus the greater of (A) the Minimum Utilization Amount and (B) the Funded Amount, and (iii) a minimum utilization fee at an annual rate of 1.77% of (the “Minimum Utilization Amount”) (A) prior to May 22, 2021, 50% of the Financing Amount at such time and (B) on or after May 22, 2021, and prior to the Facility End Date, 75% of the Financing Amount at such time. As a general matter, the price the Company would pay to purchase any Portfolio Investment from the Financing Provider equals the cash amount paid by the Financing Provider subject to adjustment for, among other things, principal repayments and interest amounts earned by the Financing Provider. Accordingly, shareholders will benefit from any interest paid or accrued on any Portfolio Investment purchased by the Company.

Effective January 7, 2022, the Company had a contractual obligation to acquire all assets under the Facility Agreement through forward purchase agreement on or before June 30, 2022. The mark-to-market gain/loss of all investments held by the Financing Provider, in addition to other economic rights and obligations held by the Company, are recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These gains (losses) are realized at the time the Company settles on the purchases of each underlying asset from the Financing Provider.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company purchased debt investments from the Financing Provider with an aggregate principal amount of $436 million (excluding unfunded revolvers and delayed draw positions of $0.2 million), at a purchase price of $412 million, resulting in an unrealized gain of approximately $3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, no additional transactions with the Financing Provider as it relates to the warehousing transactions had occurred.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may become a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of its business.

On March 14, 2023, certain First Lien and Second Lien holders of debt issued by Mitel filed a complaint in New York State Court captioned Ocean Trails CLO VII et al v. MLN TopCo Ltd., et al, Index No. 651327/2023, against certain other First Lien and Second Lien debt holders, including Apollo Debt Solutions BDC, alleging, among other things, that the defendant lenders breached the terms of their lending agreements and the New York Uniform Voidable Transfer Act in connection with certain amendments to the relevant documents governing the debt. Plaintiffs seek to have the amendments in question declared void. No reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.

Management is not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation as of September 30, 2023 other than the matter disclosed above.

_________________________________________________________________

(1)
The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
(2)
The amount shown at this caption is the balancing amount derived from the other figures in the schedule. The amount shown at this caption for a share outstanding throughout the period may not agree with the change in the aggregate gains and losses in portfolio securities for the period because of the timing of sales of the Company’s shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio.
(3)
The per share data for distributions was derived by using the actual shares outstanding at the date of the relevant transactions (refer to Note 6).
(4)
Total return is not annualized. An investment in the Company is subject to maximum upfront sales load of 3.5% and 1.5% for Class S and Class D shares, respectively, of the offering price, which will reduce the amount of capital available for investment. Class I shares is not subject to upfront sales load.
(5)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, amounts are annualized except for organizational costs and management fee and income based incentive fee waivers by the Adviser. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the total operating expenses to average net assets were 10.18%, 9.50% and 9.43%, for Class S, Class D and Class I shares, respectively, prior to management fee waivers and expense support provided by the Adviser. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the total operating expenses to average net assets were 7.72%, 8.11%, and 6.20% for Class S, Class D and Class I shares, respectively, prior to management fee waivers and expense support provided by the Adviser. Operating expenses may vary in the future based on the amount of capital raised, the Adviser’s election to continue expense support, and other unpredictable variables.
(6)
Class S shares were first issued on February 1, 2022.
(7)
Class D shares were first issued on July 1, 2022.
(8)
Class I shares were first issued on January 7, 2022 (commencement of operations).
(9)
The asset coverage ratio for a class of senior securities representing indebtedness is calculated as our total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, divided by senior securities representing indebtedness. This asset coverage ratio is multiplied by one thousand to determine the asset coverage per unit. As of September 30, 2023, the Company's asset coverage was 236.6%.

The final maturity date under the Senior Secured Facility was extended by over one year from March 11, 2027 to October 12, 2028. The covenants and representations and warranties the Company is required to comply with were also modified (including, among other things, that the minimum shareholders’ equity test was reset), but the remaining terms and conditions of the Senior Secured Facility remain substantially the same.

Terms used in the foregoing paragraphs have the meanings set forth in the Senior Secured Facility. The description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Senior Secured Facility and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions in such Senior Secured Facility, which is attached as exhibits.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and Board of Trustees of Apollo Debt Solutions BDC

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of Apollo Debt Solutions BDC and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of changes in net assets for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the consolidated statements of cash flows and the financial highlights for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our review, 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 statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of the Company as of December 31, 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and the financial highlights for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 16, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, 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 review 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.

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

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with “Item 1. Financial Statements.” This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which relate to future events our future performance or financial condition and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those set forth in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Part II, Item 1A of and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in any forward-looking statements. The nine months ended September 30, 2023 represents the period from January 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about Apollo Debt Solutions BDC (the “Company,” “we”, “us”, or “our”), 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:

our future operating results;
our business prospects and the prospects of the companies in which we may invest;
the impact of the investments that we expect to make;
our ability to raise sufficient capital to execute our investment strategy;
general economic and political trends and other external factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic and recent supply chain disruptions;
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
our current and expected financing arrangements and investments;
changes in the general interest rate environment;
the adequacy of our cash resources, financing sources and working capital;
the timing and amount of cash flows, distributions and dividends, if any, from our portfolio companies;
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
actual and potential conflicts of interest with the Adviser or any of its affiliates
the elevating levels of inflation, and its impact on our portfolio companies and on the industries in which we invest;
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its effect on the industries in which we may invest;
our use of financial leverage;
the ability of the Adviser to source suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;
the ability of the Adviser or its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals;
our ability to qualify for and maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company and as a BDC;
the impact on our business of U.S. and international financial reform legislation, rules and regulations;
the effect of changes to tax legislation and our tax position; and
the tax status of the enterprises in which we may invest.

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” 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, except as required by applicable law. Because we are an investment company, the forward-looking statements and projections contained in this report are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Act, as amended (the “1934 Act”).

Overview

We are a newly organized, externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. Formed as a Delaware statutory trust on December 4, 2020, we are externally managed by the Adviser, which 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. Our Adviser is registered as investment adviser with the SEC. We also have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually thereafter, as a RIC under the Code.

Under our Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay the Adviser a management fee as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. Also, under the Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including, but not limited to, our allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs.

Our investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We invest primarily in private credit opportunities in directly originated assets, including loans and other debt securities, made to or issued by large private U.S. borrowers, with a strong emphasis on senior secured lending. While most of our investments will be in private U.S. companies (subject to compliance with BDC regulatory requirement to invest at least 70% of its assets in private U.S. companies), we also expect to invest from time to time in European and other non-U.S. companies. Our portfolio may also include equity interests such as common stock, preferred stock, warrants or options, which generally would be obtained as part of providing a broader financing solution. Under normal circumstances, we will invest directly or indirectly at least 80% of our total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in debt instruments of varying maturities.

Most of the debt instruments we invest in are unrated or rated below investment grade, which is often an indication of size, credit worthiness and speculative nature relative to the capacity of the borrower to pay interest and principal. Generally, if our unrated investments were rated, they would be rated below investment grade. These securities, which are often referred to as “junk” or “high yield”, have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be difficult to value and are illiquid.

Investments

We focus primarily on loans and securities, including syndicated loans, of private U.S. companies. Our level of investment activity (both the number of investments and the size of each investment) can and will vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to private companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment, trading prices of loans and other securities and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.

Revenues

We generate revenues in the form of interest income on debt investments, capital gains, and dividend income from our equity investments in our portfolio companies. Our senior and subordinated debt investments are expected to bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable quarterly or semiannually. In some cases, some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid PIK interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment and other fees in connection with transactions. Original issue discounts and market discounts or premiums are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.

Expenses

Except as specifically provided below, all investment professionals and staff of the Adviser, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory services to us, and the base compensation, bonus and benefits, and the routine overhead expenses, of such personnel allocable to such services, is provided and paid for by the Adviser. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations, administration and transactions, including, but not limited to (a) investment advisory fees, including management fees and incentive fees, to the Adviser, pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) our allocable portion of compensation, overhead (including rent, office equipment and utilities) and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, including but not limited to: (i) our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs; (ii) investor relations, legal, operations and other non-investment professionals at the Administrator that performs duties for us; and (iii) any internal audit group personnel of AGM or any of its affiliates; and (c) all other expenses of our operations, administrations and transactions.

With respect to costs incurred in connection with our organization and offering and all other costs incurred prior to the time we break escrow for the offering, the Adviser has agreed to advance all such costs on our behalf. Unless the Adviser elects to cover such expenses pursuant to the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement we entered into with the Adviser, we will be obligated to reimburse the Adviser for such advanced expenses upon breaking escrow for our offering of common shares. See “—Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.” Any reimbursements that may be made by us in the future will not exceed actual expenses incurred by the Adviser and its affiliates.

From time to time, the Adviser, the Administrator or their affiliates may pay third-party providers of goods or services. We will reimburse the Adviser, the Administrator or such affiliates thereof for any such amounts paid on our behalf. From time to time, the Adviser or the Administrator may defer or waive fees and/or rights to be reimbursed for expenses. All of the foregoing expenses will ultimately be borne by our shareholders.

Our 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 with respect to each portfolio company. Our Adviser has several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include the following:

assessment of success of the portfolio company in adhering to its business plan and compliance with covenants;
periodic and regular contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic sponsor, to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;
comparisons to other companies in the portfolio company’s industry; and
review of monthly or quarterly financial statements and financial projections for portfolio companies.

Table of Contents

 

As part of the monitoring process, our Adviser employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Adviser rates the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 5. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (i.e., at the time of origination or acquisition), although it may also take into account the performance of the portfolio company’s business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. The rating system is as follows:

 

Investment Rating

 

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

 

 

Investments rated 1 involve the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The borrower is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2

 

 

Investments rated 2 involve an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination or acquisition. The borrower is generally performing as expected and the risk factors are neutral to favorable. All investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a rating of 2;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3

 

 

Investments rated 3 involve a borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased somewhat since origination or acquisition;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4

 

 

Investments rated 4 involve a borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination or acquisition. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due (but generally not more than 120 days past due); and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5

 

 

Investments rated 5 involve a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicates 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. Loans rated 5 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of the loan to the amount we anticipate will be recovered.

 

The following table shows the composition of our portfolio on the 1 to 5 rating scale as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations can vary from period to period as a result of various factors, including acquisitions, the level of new investment commitments, the recognition of realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the investment portfolio. Additionally, as we commenced operations on January 7, 2022, many of the period over period changes resulted from our deployment of capital and increased balance of our investments. As a result, comparisons may not be meaningful.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, total investment income increased to $148.1 million from $78.5 million for the same period in the prior year primarily driven by our continuing deployment of capital and rising interest rates. The size of our investment portfolio at fair value increased to $5.3 billion at September 30, 2023 from $4.0 billion at September 30, 2022. Additionally, our weighted average yield on debt and income producing investments increased to 11.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 9.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 in the prior year. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 payment-in-kind income represented 2.0% and 2.2% of total investment income, respectively.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, total investment income increased to $396.7 million from $145.6 million for the same period in the prior year primarily driven by our deployment of capital and rising interest rates. The size of our investment portfolio at fair value increased to $5.3 billion at September 30, 2023 from $4.0 billion at September 30, 2022. Additionally, our weighted average yield on debt and income producing investments increased to 10.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 9.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 payment-in-kind income represented 1.7% and 2.5% of total investment income, respectively.

 

While rising interest rates have favorably impacted our investment income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, further interest rate increases and the resulting higher cost of capital have the potential to negatively impact the free cash flow and credit quality of certain borrowers which could impact their ability to make principal and interest payments. If such interest rate increases occur concurrently with a period of economic weakness or a slowdown in growth, our borrowers’ and/or our portfolio performance may be negatively impacted. Further, significant market dislocation as a result of changing economic conditions could limit the liquidity of certain assets traded in the credit markets, and this could impact our ability to sell such assets at attractive prices or in a timely manner.

Interest and other debt expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, interest and other debt expenses increased to $40.7 million from $23.0 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by increased borrowing expenses, due to rising interest rates, on our Senior Secured Facility, SPV Financing Facilities and Private Placements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized gross unrealized gains on investments of $43.2 million and gross unrealized losses on investments of $34.3 million, resulting in net change in unrealized gains of $8.9 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2023. The fair value of our debt investments as a percentage of principal increased from 95.4% as of June 30, 2023 to 97.9% as of September 30, 2023, driven by strong portfolio company fundamentals and performance of the syndicated loan market and changes in the economic outlook.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized gross unrealized gains on investments of $122.2 million and gross unrealized losses on investments of $19.6 million, resulting in net change in unrealized gains of $102.6 million on investments year-to-date. The fair value of our debt investments as a percentage of principal increased from 96.3% as of December 31, 2023 to 97.9% as of September 30, 2023, driven by strong portfolio company fundamentals and performance of the syndicated loan market and changes in the economic outlook.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized gross unrealized gains on investments of $0.2 million and gross unrealized losses on investments of $20.1 million, resulting in net change in unrealized losses of $19.9 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2022. The capital depreciation noted on the investment portfolio was primarily driven by continued volatility in the syndicated loan market, primarily driven by inflationary concerns.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized gross unrealized gains on investments of $4.4 million and gross unrealized losses on investments of $164.4 million, resulting in net change in unrealized losses of $160.0 million year-to-date. The capital depreciation noted on the investment portfolio was primarily driven by volatility in the syndicated loan market, driven by inflationary concerns and the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

The net unrealized gains (losses) amounts include the impact of transferring unrealized appreciation (depreciation) to realized gains (losses) due to sale and paydown activity.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company uses interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the Company's fixed rate liabilities, and has designated certain interest rate swaps to be in a hedge accounting relationship. See “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies” and "Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 5. Derivative Instruments" for additional disclosure regarding our accounting for derivative instruments designated in a hedge accounting relationship, and our consolidated schedule of investments for additional disclosure regarding these derivative instruments. See “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 6. Debt and Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations” for additional disclosure regarding the carrying value of our debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources are generated and generally available through our continuous offering of common shares and debt offerings, our Senior Secured Facility (as defined in Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements), investments in special purpose entities in which we may hold and finance particular investments on a non-recourse basis, as well as from cash flows from operations, investment sales of liquid assets and repayments of senior and subordinated loans and income earned from investments.

As of September 30, 2023, we had three asset based leverage facilities, seven unsecured debt issuances and one revolving credit facility outstanding. We have and will continue to, from time to time, enter into additional credit facilities, increase the size of our existing credit facilities or issue additional debt securities, including debt securitizations and unsecured debt. Any such incurrence or issuance may be from sources within the U.S. or from various foreign geographies or jurisdictions, and may be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Additionally, any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to incur borrowings, issue debt securities or issue preferred stock, if immediately after the borrowing or issuance, the ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness plus preferred stock, is at least 150%.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents on hand, our short-term investments, our available borrowing capacity under our Senior Secured Facility and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our cash needs for our daily operations in the near term.

Cash Equivalents

The Company defines cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only securities with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase would qualify, with limited exceptions. The Company deems that certain money market funds, U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements and other high-quality, short-term debt securities would qualify as cash equivalents (See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.) At the end of each fiscal quarter, we consider taking proactive steps utilizing cash equivalents with the objective of enhancing our investment flexibility during the following quarter, pursuant to Section 55 of the 1940 Act. More specifically, we may purchase U.S. Treasury bills from time-to-time on the last business day of the quarter and typically close out that position on the following business day, settling the sale transaction on a net cash basis with the purchase, subsequent to quarter end. We may also utilize repurchase agreements or other balance sheet transactions, including drawing down on our Senior Secured Facility, as we deem appropriate. The amount of these transactions or such drawn cash for this purpose is excluded from total assets for purposes of computing the asset base upon which the management fee is determined.

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which the Company will reinvest all cash dividends declared by the Board on behalf of our shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash as provided below. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend or other distribution, then shareholders who have not opted out of our distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares as described below, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution. Distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places.

Sources of distributions, other than net investment income and realized gains on a U.S. GAAP basis, include required adjustments to U.S. GAAP net investment income in the current period to determine taxable income available for distributions. The following table reflects the sources of cash distributions on a U.S. GAAP basis that the Company has declared on its shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

To maintain our RIC status, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, if any, out of the assets legally available for distribution. Although we currently intend to distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually, out of the assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investments.

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC, we may in the future be limited in our ability to make distributions. Also, our Senior Secured Facility and SPV Financing Facilities may limit our ability to declare distributions if we default under certain provisions or fail to satisfy certain other conditions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we may suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of the tax benefits available to us as a RIC. In addition, in accordance with GAAP and tax regulations, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as contractual PIK, which represents contractual interest added to the loan balance that becomes due at the end of the loan term, or the accrual of original issue or market discount. Since we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may not be able to meet the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a RIC. With respect to the distributions to stockholders, income from origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees associated with investments in portfolio companies is treated as taxable income and accordingly, distributed to stockholders.

Share Repurchase Program

At the discretion of our Board of Trustees, the Company has commenced a share repurchase program in which it has the ability to repurchase the Company’s common shares outstanding as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. The Board of Trustees may amend or suspend the share repurchase program if in its reasonable judgment it deems such action to be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of our shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. Should the Board of Trustees suspend the share repurchase program, the Board of Trustees will consider whether the continued suspension of the program is in the best interests of the Company and shareholders on a quarterly basis. The Company intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

Under the share repurchase plan, to the extent the Company offers to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, it is expected to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers on or around the last business day of that quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV (the "Early Repurchase Deduction"). The one-year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective repurchase date. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Company for the benefit of remaining shareholders.

Equity

On July 22, 2021, an affiliate of the Adviser purchased 2,000 shares of the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest at $25.00 per share.

As of January 7, 2022, the Company had satisfied the minimum offering requirement, and the Company’s Board of Trustees had authorized the release of proceeds from escrow. As of such date, the Company issued and sold 26,258,912 shares (consisting entirely of Class I shares; no Class S or Class D shares were issued or sold as of such date), and the escrow agent released net proceeds of approximately $657 million to the Company as payment for such shares. Apollo and its employees, including the Company’s executive officers, owned approximately $3 million of shares as of January 7, 2022.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Adviser to provide us with investment advisory services and the Administration Agreement with the Administrator to provide us with administrative services. We have also entered into an Expense Support Agreement with the Adviser to provide us with support with respect to certain expenses and subject to reimbursement. Payments for investment advisory services under the Advisory Agreements, reimbursements under the Administration Agreement and support and reimbursements under the Expense Support Agreement are described in “Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data —Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Fees, Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions.”

We intend to establish one or more credit facilities or enter into other financing arrangements to facilitate investments and the timely payment of our expenses. It is anticipated that any such credit facilities will bear interest at floating rates at to-be-determined spreads over LIBOR or an alternative reference rate. We cannot assure shareholders that we will be able to enter into a credit facility on favorable terms or at all. In connection with a credit facility or other borrowings, lenders may require us to pledge assets, commitments and/or drawdowns (and the ability to enforce the payment thereof) and may ask to comply with positive or negative covenants that could have an effect on our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Adviser has agreed to bear all expenses incurred prior to us breaking escrow for the offering, including our organization and offering expenses, through the date on which we break escrow for the initial offering of its common shares. We will be obligated to reimburse the Adviser for such advanced expenses upon breaking escrow for the offering. The total organization and offering costs incurred through September 30, 2023 were $2.9 million.

We entered into a warehousing transaction (the “Warehousing Transaction”) whereby we agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase certain assets from parties unaffiliated with the Adviser. The warehousing transaction, i.e. the Facility Agreement, was designed to assist us in deploying capital upon receipt of subscriptions, and related primarily to originated or anchor investments in middle market loans. For additional information see “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies.”

From time to time, we may become a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business.

On March 14, 2023, certain First Lien and Second Lien holders of debt issued by Mitel filed a complaint in New York State Court captioned Ocean Trails CLO VII et al v. MLN TopCo Ltd., et al, Index No. 651327/2023, against certain other First Lien and Second Lien debt holders, including Apollo Debt Solutions BDC, alleging, among other things, that the defendant lenders breached the terms of their lending agreements and the New York Uniform Voidable Transfer Act in connection with certain amendments to the relevant documents governing the debt. Plaintiffs seek to have the amendments in question declared void. No reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.

Management is not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation as of September 30, 2023 other than the matter disclosed above.

Related-Party Transactions

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

Investment Advisory Agreement;
Administration Agreement
Intermediary Manager Agreement; and
Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.

In addition to the aforementioned agreements, we, our Adviser and certain of our Adviser’s affiliates have been granted exemptive relief by the SEC to co-invest with other funds managed by our 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. See “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3. Fees, Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions.”

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated 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 estimates should be read in connection with our risk factors described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements —Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies.” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

 

Investments

 

Investment transactions are all recorded on a trade date basis. Investments are recognized when we assume an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains and losses related to that instrument. Investments are derecognized when we assume an obligation to sell a financial instrument and forego the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Investment transactions that have not yet settled as of the period-end date are reported as a receivable for investments sold and a payable for investments purchased, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds received and the amortized cost basis of the investment. The cost of investments is relieved 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. The net change in unrealized gains or losses 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.

 

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, our Board of Trustees has designated the Adviser as its "valuation designeeto perform the fair value determinations for investments held by us without readily available market quotations. The Company's Board of Trustees continues to be responsible for overseeing the processes for determining fair valuation.

 

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to verify whether market quotations are deemed to represent fair value, the Adviser, looks at certain factors including the source and nature of the quotations. Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value in certain circumstances where the Adviser reasonably believes that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser or the market for a particular security causes current market quotes not to reflect the fair value of the security. Examples of these events could include cases in which material events are announced after the close of the market on which a security is primarily traded, when a security trades infrequently causing a quoted purchase or sale price to become stale or in the event of a “fire sale” by a distressed seller.

 

If and when market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, we typically utilize independent third party valuation firms to assist us in determining fair value. Accordingly, such investments go through our multi-step valuation process as described below. The Adviser engages multiple independent valuation firms based on a review of each firm’s expertise and relevant experience in valuing certain securities. In each case, our independent valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such Level 3 categorized assets.

 

99


Table of Contents

 

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, our Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

(1)
Independent valuation firms engaged conduct independent appraisals and assessments for all the investments they have been engaged to review. If an independent valuation firm is not engaged during a particular quarter, the valuation may be conducted by the Adviser;
(2)
At least each quarter, the valuation will be reassessed and updated by the Adviser or an independent valuation firm to reflect company specific events and latest market data;
(3)
Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of our Adviser;
(4)
The Adviser discusses valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in our portfolio based on the input of the applicable independent valuation firm; and
(5)
For Level 3 investments entered into within the current quarter, the cost (purchase price adjusted for accreted original issue discount/amortized premium) or any recent comparable trade activity on the security investment shall be considered to reasonably approximate the fair value of the investment, provided that no material change has since occurred in the issuer’s business, significant inputs or the relevant environment.

 

Investments are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no significant changes to the Company’s valuation techniques and related inputs considered in the valuation process. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant:

available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables,
applicable market yields and multiples,
security covenants,
seniority of investments in the investee company’s capital structure,
call protection provisions,
information rights,
the nature and realizable value of any collateral,
the portfolio company’s ability to make payments,
earnings and discounted cash flows,
the markets in which the portfolio company does business,
comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public,
M&A comparables,
our principal market (as the reporting entity) and
enterprise values, among other factors.

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, substantially all of our portfolio investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our investment adviser, as the valuation designee, as described herein. 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 fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize.

 

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), where fair value is defined 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 measurements are determined within a framework that establishes a three-tier hierarchy which maximizes the use of observable market data and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, such as the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value using a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs for the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. 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 Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the information available. The inputs or methodology used for valuing assets or liabilities may not be an indication of the risks associated with investing in those assets or liabilities.

 

ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure these fair values into the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, accessible by us at the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment. The level assigned to the investment valuations may not be indicative of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in such investments. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may differ materially from the values that would be received upon an actual disposition of such investments.

 

See Notes 2 & 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding the fair value of our financial instruments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and the valuations of our investment portfolio. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of rising interest rates in response to inflation, the war in Russia and Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and the effects of this volatility has materially impacted and could continue to materially impact our market risks, including those listed below. For additional information concerning potential impact on our business and our operating results, see Part II - Other information, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Investment valuation risk

Because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in our portfolio, we value most of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Trustees based on, among other things, the input of our management and audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of our Board of Trustees to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation (with certain de minimis exceptions). 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 fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” and “—Fair Value Measurements” as well as Notes 2 and 4 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, for more information relating to our investment valuation.

Interest Rate Risk

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

As of September 30, 2023, 96% of our debt portfolio investments bore interest at variable rates, which generally are SOFR based (or based on an equivalent applicable currency rate) and typically have durations of one to six months after which they reset to current market interest rates, and many of which are subject to certain floors. Our Senior Secured Facility and SPV Financing Facilities bear interest at SOFR rates with no interest rate floor. Our Unsecured Notes, which bear interest at fixed rates, are hedged by entering into fixed to floating interest rate swaps, in order to align the interest rates of our liabilities in our investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2023, all non-U.S. dollar LIBOR publications have been phased out. The phase out of a majority of the U.S. dollar publications was delayed until June 30, 2023. 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. Please see “Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Critical Accounting Policies". Uncertainty relating to the LIBOR calculation process may adversely affect the value of our portfolio of the LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities in our portfolio or the cost of our borrowings.

We regularly measure our exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

The following table shows the estimated annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate flows for variable rate instruments) to our loan portfolio and outstanding debt as of September 30, 2023, assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations from time-to-time by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts 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 the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2023 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management has not identified any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, we may become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. While we do not expect that the resolution of these matters if they arise would materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, resolution will be subject to various uncertainties and could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

On March 14, 2023, certain First Lien and Second Lien holders of debt issued by Mitel filed a complaint in New York State Court captioned Ocean Trails CLO VII et al v. MLN TopCo Ltd., et al, Index No. 651327/2023, against certain other First Lien and Second Lien debt holders, including Apollo Debt Solutions BDC, alleging, among other things, that the defendant lenders breached the terms of their lending agreements and the New York Uniform Voidable Transfer Act in connection with certain amendments to the relevant documents governing the debt. Plaintiffs seek to have the amendments in question declared void. No reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.

Other than the matter disclosed above, we are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge are any material legal proceedings threatened against us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and as provided below, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. These risks are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Refer to our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with SEC on July 20, 2023, August 23, 2023, and September 25, 2023 for information about unregistered sales of our equity securities during the quarter.

Shares Repurchases


We have commenced a share repurchase program in which we intend to offer to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of our Common Shares outstanding (either by number of shares or aggregate NAV) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. Our Board of Trustees may amend or suspend the share repurchase program at any time if in its reasonable judgment it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our shareholders, such as when a repurchase offer would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company that would outweigh the benefit of the repurchase offer. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. We intend to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased by us pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

Under our share repurchase program, to the extent we offer to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, we expect to repurchase shares pursuant to quarterly tender offers using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV.

The following table presents information with respect to the Company’s share repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):
