Apollo Diversified Credit Fund

Notes to Quarterly Consolidated Schedule of Investments

March 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

 

Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (formerly, Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund) (the “Fund”) is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund was organized as a statutory trust on April 5, 2016 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund commenced operations on April 3, 2017 and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares with no par value. The Fund engages in a continuous offering of shares and operates as an interval fund that offers quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value (NAV). The Fund’s investment adviser is Apollo Capital Credit Adviser, LLC (formerly, Griffin Capital Credit Adviser, LLC) (the “Adviser”). BCSF Advisors, LP (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Bain Capital Credit, LP, served as the Fund’s sub-adviser during the period covered by the report. Effective, April 1, 2022, investment sub-adviser responsibilities were transitioned from BCSF Advisors, LP to Apollo Credit Management, LLC (“Apollo”) in connection with the acquisition of the Adviser’s parent company by Apollo Global Management, Inc. Please refer to Note 5. Subsequent Events for additional information. The Adviser, Sub-Adviser, and Apollo are registered as investment advisers with the SEC pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The investment objective of the Fund is to generate a return comprised of both current income and capital appreciation with an emphasis on current income with low volatility and low correlation to the broader markets. During the period covered by this report, the Fund pursued its investment objective by investing in a range of secured and unsecured debt obligations, which may be syndicated, consisting of U.S. high yield securities, global high yield securities, direct lending investments including direct originated debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), and other fixed-income and fixed-income related securities. The portfolio may consist of high yield bonds, bank loans, equity securities, CLOs, and direct lending investments, which may include senior direct lending (“SDL”) as well as subordinate and unitranche direct lending. The Fund may also acquire warrants and other equity interests through its direct lending activities. The portfolio may also consist of, to a lesser extent, special situations investments such as non-performing loans (“NPLs”). In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund may also directly or indirectly invest in derivative investments.

 

The Fund currently offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class L, and Class M shares. Class A, Class C and Class I shares commenced operations on April 3, 2017. Class L shares commenced operations on September 5, 2017. Class F shares commenced operations on September 25, 2017 and are no longer offered except for reinvestment of dividends. Class M shares commenced operations on November 2, 2021. Class A and Class L shares are offered subject to a maximum sales charge of 5.75% and 4.25%, respectively, of their offering price. Class C, Class I, and Class M shares are offered at net asset value per share. Class C shares may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge on shares redeemed during the first 365 days after their purchase. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s income, expenses (other than class specific service and distribution fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class. An affiliate of the Adviser owned shares in the Fund representing 1.45% of net asset value as of March 31, 2022.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

Basis of Presentation – The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund is considered an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 – Financial Services – Investment Companies. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Consolidation of GIACF Alternative Holdings, LLC – GIACF Alternative Holdings, LLC, (the “NPL Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, was formed on September 18, 2018. The NPL Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain NPL investments for the Fund. The Fund is the managing and sole member of the NPL Subsidiary pursuant to a limited liability company operating agreement. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, the financial results of the NPL Subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights of the Fund. All investments held by the NPL Subsidiary are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The NPL Subsidiary has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the NPL Subsidiary is a Controlled Foreign Corporation, which generates and is allocated no income that is considered effectively connected with U.S. trade of business and, as such, is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporation, the NPL Subsidiary’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Fund’s investment company taxable income.

 

Consolidation of CRDTX SPV I, LLC – CRDTX SPV I, LLC (the "Financing Subsidiary"), a Delaware Limited Liability Company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, was formed on November 27, 2018. The Fund and CRDTX SPV I, LLC, are party to a secured revolving credit facility with Citibank, N.A. ("Citi Credit Facility") subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act for borrowings.  The Citi Credit Facility allows the Financing Subsidiary to borrow up to $170 million and is secured by all of the assets held by the Financing Subsidiary. The Fund is the managing and sole member of CRDTX SPV I, LLC pursuant to a limited liability company operating agreement and the Fund will remain the sole member and will continue to wholly own and control CRDTX SPV I, LLC. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, the financial results of CRDTX SPV I, LLC are included in the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights of the Fund. Assets pledged as collateral by CRDTX SPV I, LLC under the secured revolving credit facility are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

  

 

Single-Asset Subsidiaries – Certain investments of the Fund will be held in single-asset subsidiaries controlled by the Fund (the “Single-Asset Subsidiaries”). The Single-Asset Subsidiaries are generally formed as needed to hold a particular equity investment obtained in private transactions. The financial statements of the Single-Asset Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights of the Fund. The equity holdings of the Single-Asset Subsidiaries are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Fund will generally consolidate any wholly-owned or controlled subsidiary. For purposes of the Fund’s investment restrictions, guidelines and limitations, the Fund will aggregate direct investments with investment exposure provided by its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries.

 

Security Valuation The Fund’s net asset value per share is calculated, on a class-specific basis, by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets (the value of the securities the Fund holds plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not yet received), less accrued expenses and other liabilities of the Fund by the total number of shares outstanding. During the continuous offering, the price of the shares will increase or decrease on a daily basis according to the net asset value of the shares.

 

Portfolio securities held by the Fund are valued at their current market values determined on the basis of market or dealer quotations from independent pricing services approved by the Board. If market or dealer quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the Board will determine in good faith, the fair value of such securities. For securities that are fair valued in ordinary course of Fund operations, the Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining fair valuation to the Fair Value Pricing Committee in accordance with the policies approved by the Board. In determining the fair value of a security for which there are no readily available market or dealer quotations, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, together with the Fair Value Pricing Committee, will take into account all reasonably available information that may be relevant to a particular security including, but not limited to: pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; the enterprise value of the portfolio company; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, comparison to the values and current pricing of publicly traded securities that have comparable characteristics; comparison to publicly traded securities including factors such as yield, maturity, and credit quality; knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; fundamental analytical data, such as periodic financial statements, and other factors or information relevant to the security, issuer, or market. The Fund has also retained the services of third-party valuation firms to review valuations of certain securities for which market or dealer quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable and to assist in determining fair value where applicable, however, the ultimate determination of fair value will be made by the Board and not by such third-party valuation firm. Fair valuation involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.

 

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are typically valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent pricing service. The aggregate settlement values and notional amounts of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts will not be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. However, fluctuations in the value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts will be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until terminated.

 

Fair Value Measurements – In accordance with ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, a three-tier hierarchy has been established to classify 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. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under GAAP, the Fund discloses fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value, as follows:

 

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability at the measurement date; and

 

Level 3 – Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

  

 

 

An investment level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the period ended March 31, 2022 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2022:

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

 

Unobservable Input Impact to Value if Input Increases Impact to Value if Input Decreases
Market Yield Decrease Increase
EBITDA Multiple Increase Decrease
Discount Rate Decrease Increase
Broker Quote Increase Decrease

 

(a) The Fund did not develop the unobservable inputs for the determination of fair value (examples include single broker quotations from pricing services and prior or pending transactions)
(b) Includes investments held at CRDTX SPV I, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, and are pledged as collateral for a secured revolving credit facility
(c) Investments acquired during the quarter ended March 31, 2022

 

The Fund used valuation techniques consistent with the income approach and market approach to determine the fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of March 31, 2022. The valuation techniques utilized by the Fund included enterprise value analysis, discounted cash flows analysis, and yield analysis. The enterprise value analysis measures fair value of a portfolio company based upon an assessment of multiples such as EBITDA or revenue that are typically determined through review of market comparable transactions and publicly traded comparable companies. Such multiples are subsequently applied to the underlying portfolio company financial multiple, generally EBITDA or revenue, to estimate enterprise value. Total enterprise value is first allocated to the debt holders and then allocated across the capital structure reflecting applicable rights and preferences of the remaining equity securities to determine fair value of certain of the Fund’s equity interests. The significant unobservable input used in the enterprise value analysis is generally the EBITDA or revenue multiple. The Fund also utilized the discounted cash flows analysis to measure fair value of certain of the Fund’s equity and debt investments. The discounted cash flows analysis is a technique whereby future expected cash flows of the underlying investment are discounted to determine a present value using a discount rate. The significant unobservable input used in the discounted cash flows analysis is the discount rate. The yield analysis technique measures fair value of an investment based upon an assessment of expected market yields of other businesses of similar size in the same industry which are used to establish a discount rate. Future cash flows are then discounted back to present value using the discount rate to determine fair value of certain of the Fund’s debt investments. The significant unobservable input used in the yield analysis is yield.

 

Generally, new investments not valued by a third-party pricing service are held at purchase price initially until the investment has been held by the Fund for a full quarter. The Fair Value Pricing Committee subsequently determines the application of a fair value methodology at the next valuation date. The Fair Value Pricing Committee will convene if there has been a material change to the applicable portfolio company between the time of investment and the next valuation date.

 

The carrying and fair value of the Fund's debt obligation as of March 31, 2022 for which the Fund has determined would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy was $137,545,324.

 

Securities Transactions, Revenue Recognition and ExpensesThe Fund records its investment transactions on a trade date basis. The Fund measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, using the specified identification method. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium to par value on investments acquired are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the life of the respective investment using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized and amortized against or accreted into interest income using the effective interest method or straight-line method, as applicable. For the Fund’s investments in revolving bank loans, the cost basis of the investment purchased is adjusted for the cash received for the discount on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premium is recorded as interest income. 

  

 

Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an 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 investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Distributions received from a limited liability company or limited partnership investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital.

 

Income from securitization vehicles and investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles (typically income notes or subordinated notes) is recorded daily using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon a calculation of the effective yield to the expected redemption date based on an estimate of future cash flows, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The Fund monitors the expected residual payments, and the effective yield is determined and updated quarterly.

 

Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point the Fund believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. Accrued PIK interest or dividends are generally reversed through interest or dividend income, respectively, when an investment is placed on non-accrual status.

 

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

 

Foreign Currency Translation – The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuations and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Prevailing foreign exchange rates may generally be obtained at the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. EST).

 

Foreign Securities – The Fund may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the ability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Fund places its cash with one banking institution, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC limit is $250,000. At various times throughout the year, the amount on deposit may exceed the FDIC limit and subject the Fund to a credit risk. The Fund does not believe that such deposits are subject to any unusual risk associated with investment activities.

 

Loan Participation and Assignments – The Fund may invest in direct debt instruments, which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of the loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “agent”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the agent that is selling the loan agreement. When the Fund purchases assignments from lenders they acquire direct rights against the borrower of the loan. The Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the notional loan amounts may not be utilized by the borrower. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the agent selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the agent from the borrower. The Fund may receive a fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit of a floating rate loan. In certain circumstances, the Fund may receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan by a borrower. For the period ended March 31, 2022, no penalty fees were received by the Fund. Fees earned or paid are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense, respectively, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2022, the Fund had $18,858,744 at par value in unfunded loan commitments.

 

Defaulted Securities – The Fund held defaulted securities and/or other securities for which the income has been deemed uncollectible. As of March 31, 2022, the aggregate value of those securities was $515,482 representing 0.08% of the Fund's net assets. The Fund doesn't accrue income on securities for which income has been deemed uncollectible. Additionally, the Fund provides for losses on interest of receivable. Such securities have been identified on the accompanying Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

 

Distributions to Shareholders – The Fund intends to accrue dividends daily and to distribute as of the last business day of each quarter. Distributions of net capital gains are normally accrued and distributed in December. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

 

Indemnification – The Fund indemnifies its Officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on industry experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

  

 

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute all of its taxable income, if any, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” (more than a fifty percent chance) to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2020 returns.

 

Commitments and Contingencies – In the normal course of business, the Fund's investment activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various transactions resulting in receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers and the Fund's custodian. These activities may expose the Fund to risk in the event that such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. Management does not anticipate any material losses from counterparties with whom it conducts business. Consistent with standard business practice, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications, and may be engaged from time to time in various legal actions. The maximum exposure of the Fund under these arrangements and activities is unknown. However, the Fund expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

 

3. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS

 

 

The Fund’s investment objectives allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts such as forward foreign currency contracts. Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are typically valued at their quoted daily prices obtained from an independent pricing service.

 

Risk of Investing in Derivatives – The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

 

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – The Fund engaged in currency transactions with counterparties during the period ended March 31, 2022 to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value or to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is terminated, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.

 

4. PRINCIPAL RISK Factors

 

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in financial instruments and enters into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to such things as changes in the market (market risk) or failure or inability of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk). See below for a detailed description of select principal risks. The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all of the potential risks associated with the Fund. For a more comprehensive list of potential risks the Fund may be subject to, please refer to the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).

 

Risks Related to an Investment in the Fund

 

Investment and Market Risk. An investment in the Fund’s common shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. An investment in the Fund’s common shares represents an indirect investment in the Fund’s portfolio of debt instruments, other securities, and derivative investments, and the value of these investments may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. At any point in time an investment in the Fund’s common shares may be worth less than the original amount invested, even after taking into account distributions paid by the Fund and the ability of shareholders to reinvest dividends. The Fund may also use leverage, which would magnify the Fund’s investment, market and certain other risks.

 

All investments involve risks, including the risk that the entire amount invested may be lost. No guarantee or representation is made that the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved. The Fund may utilize investment techniques, such as leverage and swaps, which can in certain circumstances increase the adverse impact to which the Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject.

  

 

Repurchase Offers Risks. The Fund is an interval fund and, in order to provide liquidity to shareholders, the Fund, subject to applicable law, will conduct repurchase offers of the Fund’s outstanding common shares at NAV, subject to approval of the Board. The Fund believes that these repurchase offers are generally beneficial to the Fund’s shareholders, and repurchases generally will be funded from available cash, cash from the sale of common shares or sales of portfolio securities. However, repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations may affect the ability of the Fund to be fully invested or force the Fund to maintain a higher percentage of its assets in liquid investments, which may harm the Fund’s investment performance.

 

General Market Conditions Risk. Various sectors of the global financial markets have been experiencing an extended period of adverse conditions. Market uncertainty has increased dramatically, particularly in the United States and Europe, and adverse market conditions have expanded to other markets. These conditions have resulted in disruption of the global credit markets, periods of reduced liquidity, greater volatility, general volatility of credit spreads, an acute contraction in the availability of credit and a lack of price transparency. These volatile and often difficult global credit market conditions have episodically adversely affected the market values of equity, fixed-income and other securities and this volatility may continue and conditions could even deteriorate further. Some of the largest banks and companies across many sectors of the economy in the United States and Europe have declared bankruptcy, entered into insolvency, administration or similar proceedings, been nationalized by government authorities, and/or agreed to merge with or be acquired by other banks or companies that had been considered their peers. The long-term impact of these events is uncertain, but could continue to have a material effect on general economic conditions, consumer and business confidence and market liquidity.

 

During the first quarter of 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19, which has spread to over 200 countries and territories, including the United States, and has spread to every state in the United States. The World Health Organization has designated COVID-19 as a pandemic, and numerous countries, including the United States, have declared national emergencies with respect to COVID-19. The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been rapidly evolving, resulting in numerous deaths, and as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries have reacted by instituting (or strongly encouraging) quarantines and prohibitions/restrictions on travel, closing financial markets and/or restricting trading, closing offices, schools, courts and other public venues, and limiting operations of non-essential businesses, and other restrictive measures designed to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Such actions, as well as the general uncertainty surrounding the dangers and impact of COVID-19, are creating significant disruption in global supply chains and economic activity, increasing rates of unemployment and adversely impacting many industries. The outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has at times had, and is expected to continue to pose a risk of having, a material adverse impact on the Fund’s market price, NAV and portfolio liquidity among other factors. These impacts will likely continue to some extent as the outbreak persists and potentially even longer.

 

Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from year to year, as well as within a given year. Although the Fund cannot accurately predict its annual portfolio turnover rate, it is not expected to exceed 100% under normal circumstances.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions. The Fund’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust includes provisions that could limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund or convert the Fund to open-end status.

 

Market Disruptions. The Fund may incur major losses in the event of market disruptions and other extraordinary events in which historical pricing relationships (on which the Sub-Adviser bases a number of its trading positions) become materially distorted. The risk of loss from pricing distortions is compounded by the fact that in disrupted markets many positions become illiquid, making it difficult or impossible to close out positions against which the markets are moving. Market disruptions caused by unexpected political, military and terrorist events may from time to time cause dramatic losses for the Fund and such events can result in otherwise historically low-risk strategies performing with unprecedented volatility and risk.

 

Highly Volatile Markets. The prices of financial instruments in which the Fund may invest can be highly volatile. The prices of instruments in which the Fund may invest are influenced by numerous factors, including interest rates, currency rates, default rates, governmental policies and political and economic events (both domestic and global). Moreover, political or economic crises, or other events may occur that can be highly disruptive to the markets in which the Fund may invest. In addition, governments from time to time intervene (directly and by regulation), which intervention may adversely affect the performance of the Fund and its investment activities. The Fund is also subject to the risk of a temporary or permanent failure of the exchanges and other markets on which its investments may trade. Sustained market turmoil and periods of heightened market volatility make it more difficult to produce positive trading results, and there can be no assurance that the Fund’s strategies will be successful in such markets.

 

Credit Facilities. In the event we default under a credit facility or other borrowings, our business could be adversely affected as we may be forced to sell a portion of our investments quickly and prematurely at what may be disadvantageous prices to us in order to meet our outstanding payment obligations and/or support working capital requirements under such borrowing facility, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, following any such default, the agent for the lenders under such borrowing facility could assume control of the disposition of any or all of our assets, including the selection of such assets to be disposed and the timing of such disposition, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Shareholders May Experience Dilution. All distributions declared in cash payable to shareholders that are participants in our distribution reinvestment plan will generally be automatically reinvested in our common shares. As a result, shareholders that do not participate in our distribution reinvestment plan may experience dilution over time.

 

Limitation on Liability of Trustees and Officers; Indemnification and Advance of Expenses. Delaware law permits a Delaware statutory trust to include in its declaration of trust a provision to indemnify and hold harmless any trustee or beneficial owner or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. Our Declaration of Trust provides that our Trustees will not be liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a trustee to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our Declaration of Trust provides for the indemnification of any person to the full extent permitted, and in the manner provided, by Delaware law. In accordance with the 1940 Act, we will not indemnify certain persons for any liability to which such persons would be subject by reason of such person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

  

 

Operational Risk. The Fund depends on the Sub-Adviser to develop the appropriate systems and procedures to control operational risk. Operational risks arising from mistakes made in the confirmation or settlement of transactions, from transactions not being properly booked, evaluated or accounted for or other similar disruption in the Fund’s operations, can cause the Fund to suffer financial loss, the disruption of its business, liability to clients or third parties, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. The Fund’s business is highly dependent on its ability to process, on a daily basis, a large number of transactions across numerous and diverse markets. Consequently, the Fund relies heavily on its financial, accounting and other data processing systems. The ability of its systems to accommodate an increasing volume of transactions could also constrain the Fund’s abilities to properly manage its portfolios. Shareholders are generally not notified of the occurrence of an error or the resolution of any error. Generally, the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates will not be held accountable for such errors, and the Fund may bear losses resulting from such errors.

 

Minimal Capitalization Risk. The Fund is not obligated to raise any specific amount of capital prior to commencing operations. There is a risk that the amount of capital actually raised by the Fund through the offering of its shares may be insufficient to achieve profitability or allow the Fund to realize its investment objective. An inability to raise additional capital may adversely affect the Fund’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, as well as its compliance with regulatory requirements. Further, if the Fund is unable to raise sufficient capital, shareholders may bear higher expenses due to a lack of economies of scale.

 

Allocation Risk. The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective depends, in part, on the ability of the Sub-Adviser to allocate effectively the Fund’s assets among the various asset types in which the Fund invests and, with respect to each such asset class, among debt securities. There can be no assurance that the actual allocations will be effective in achieving the Fund’s investment objective or delivering positive returns.

 

Issuer Risk. The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of an issuer’s securities that are held in the Fund’s portfolio may decline for a number of reasons, which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services.

 

Management Risk. The net asset value of the Fund changes daily based on the performance of the securities in which it invests. The Sub-Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular sector and securities in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.

 

Correlation Risk. The Fund seeks to produce returns that are less correlated to the broader financial markets. Although the prices of equity securities and fixed-income securities, as well as other asset classes, often rise and fall at different times so that a fall in the price of one may be offset by a rise in the price of the other, in down markets the prices of these securities and asset classes can also fall in tandem. Because the Fund allocates its investments among different asset classes, the Fund is subject to correlation risk.

 

Distribution Policy Risk. The Fund’s distribution policy is to make quarterly distributions to shareholders. All or a portion of a distribution may consist solely of a return of capital (i.e. from your original investment) and not a return of net profit. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. Shareholders should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares.

 

Risks Related to the Fund’s Investments

 

Loans Risk. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in loans. The loans that the Fund may invest in include loans that are first lien, second lien, third lien or that are unsecured. In addition, the loans the Fund will invest in will usually be rated below investment grade or may also be unrated. Loans are subject to a number of risks described elsewhere in this Prospectus, including credit risk, liquidity risk, below investment grade instruments risk and management risk.

 

Investments in Bank Loans and Participations. The investment portfolio of the Fund may include bank loans and participations. The special risks associated with investing in these obligations include: (i) the possible invalidation of an investment transaction as a fraudulent conveyance under relevant creditors’ rights laws; (ii) environmental liabilities that may arise with respect to collateral securing the obligations; (iii) adverse consequences resulting from participating in such instruments with other institutions with lower credit quality; (iv) limitations on the ability of the Fund or the Sub-Adviser to directly enforce any of their respective rights with respect to participations; and (v) generation of income that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation as income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

 

Senior Loans Risk. Senior secured loans are usually rated below investment-grade or may also be unrated. As a result, the risks associated with senior secured loans are similar to the risks of below investment-grade fixed income instruments, although senior secured loans are senior and secured in contrast to other below investment-grade fixed income instruments, which are often subordinated or unsecured. Investment in senior secured loans rated below investment-grade is considered speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. There may be less readily available and reliable information about most senior secured loans than is the case for many other types of securities. As a result, the Sub-Adviser will rely primarily on its own evaluation of a borrower’s credit quality rather than on any available independent sources. Therefore, the Fund will be particularly dependent on the analytical abilities of the Sub-Adviser. 

  

 

In general, the secondary trading market for senior secured loans is not well developed. No active trading market may exist for certain senior secured loans, which may make it difficult to value them. Illiquidity and adverse market conditions may mean that the Fund may not be able to sell senior secured loans quickly or at a fair price. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain senior secured loans, the market for them may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods.

 

Subordinated Loans or Securities. Certain of the Fund’s investments may consist of loans or securities, or interests in pools of securities that are subordinated or may be subordinated in right of payment and ranked junior to other securities issued by, or loans made to obligors. If an obligor experiences financial difficulty, holders of its more senior securities will be entitled to payments in priority to the Fund. Some of the Fund’s asset-backed investments may also have structural features that divert payments of interest and/or principal to more senior classes of loans or securities backed by the same assets when loss rates or delinquency exceeds certain levels. This may interrupt the income the Fund receives from its investments, which may lead to the Fund having less income to distribute to investors.

 

In addition, many of the obligors are highly leveraged and many of the Fund’s investments will be in securities which are unrated or rated below investment-grade. Such investments are subject to additional risks, including an increased risk of default during periods of economic downturn, the possibility that the obligor may not be able to meet its debt payments and limited secondary market support, among other risks.

 

Loans to Private Companies. Loans to private and middle-market companies involves risks that may not exist in the case of large, more established and/or publicly traded companies.

 

Below Investment Grade, or High-Yield, Instruments Risk. The Fund anticipates that it may invest substantially all of its assets in instruments that are rated below investment grade. Below investment grade instruments are commonly referred to as “junk” or high-yield instruments and are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Lower grade instruments may be particularly susceptible to economic downturns, which could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such instruments to repay principal and pay interest thereon, increase the incidence of default for such instruments and severely disrupt the market value of such instruments.

 

Valuation Risk. Unlike publicly traded common stock which trades on national exchanges, there is no central place or exchange for most of the Fund’s investments to trade. The Fund’s investments generally trade on an “over-the-counter” market which may be anywhere in the world where the buyer and seller can settle on a price. Due to the lack of centralized information and trading, the valuation of loans or fixed-income instruments may carry more risk than that of common stock. Uncertainties in the conditions of the financial market, unreliable reference data, lack of transparency and inconsistency of valuation models and processes may lead to inaccurate asset pricing. In addition, other market participants may value securities differently than the Fund. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the risk that when an instrument is sold in the market, the amount received by the Fund is less than the value of such loans or fixed-income instruments carried on the Fund’s books.

 

Liquidity Risk. To the extent consistent with the applicable liquidity requirements for interval funds under Rule 23c-3 of the 1940 Act, the Fund may invest in securities that, at the time of investment, are illiquid (determined using the SEC’s standard applicable to registered investment companies, i.e., securities that cannot be disposed of by the Fund within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the securities). However, securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days due solely to applicable laws or the Sub-Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures will not be subject to the limitations set forth above. The Fund may also invest in restricted securities. Investments in restricted securities could have the effect of increasing the amount of the Fund’s assets invested in illiquid securities if qualified institutional buyers are unwilling to purchase these securities.

 

Temporary Defensive Strategies. From time to time, the Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies as a defensive measure when the Sub-Adviser anticipates unusual market or other conditions. When a temporary defensive posture is believed by the Sub-Adviser to be warranted (“temporary defensive periods”), the Fund may without limitation hold cash or invest its Managed Assets in money market instruments and repurchase agreements in respect of those instruments. The money market instruments in which the Fund may invest are obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities; commercial paper rated A-1 or higher by S&P or Prime-1 by Moody’s; and certificates of deposit and bankers’ acceptances issued by domestic branches of U.S. banks that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. During temporary defensive periods, the Fund may also invest to the extent permitted by applicable law in shares of money market mutual funds. Money market mutual funds are investment companies and the investments in those companies by the Fund are in some cases subject to applicable law. To the extent that the Fund invests defensively, it may not achieve its investment objective.

 

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that one or more loans in the Fund’s portfolio will decline in price or fail to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer of the instrument experiences a decline in its financial status. While a senior position in the capital structure of a Borrower or issuer may provide some protection with respect to the Fund’s investments in certain loans, losses may still occur because the market value of loans is affected by the creditworthiness of Borrowers or issuers and by general economic and specific industry conditions and the Fund’s other investments will often be subordinate to other debt in the issuer’s capital structure. To the extent the Fund invests in below investment grade instruments, it will be exposed to a greater amount of credit risk than a fund which invests in investment grade securities. The prices of lower grade instruments are more sensitive to negative developments, such as a decline in the issuer’s revenues or a general economic downturn, than are the prices of higher grade instruments. Instruments of below investment grade quality are predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due and therefore involve a greater risk of default. In addition, the Fund may enter into credit derivatives which may expose it to additional risk in the event that the instruments underlying the derivatives default.

 

  

 

Interest Rate Risk. The fixed-income instruments that the Fund may invest in are subject to the risk that market values of such securities will decline as interest rates increase. These changes in interest rates have a more pronounced effect on securities with longer durations. Typically, the impact of changes in interest rates on the market value of an instrument will be more pronounced for fixed-rate instruments, such as most corporate bonds, than it will for floating rate instruments. Fluctuations in the value of portfolio securities will not affect interest income on existing portfolio securities but will be reflected in the Fund’s NAV.

 

Structured Products Risk. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its Managed Assets in structured products, including CLOs, floating rate mortgage-backed securities and credit linked notes. Holders of structured products bear risks of the underlying investments, index or reference obligation and are subject to counterparty risk.

 

Covenant-Lite Loans Risk. Covenant-lite loans contain fewer maintenance covenants than other types of loans, or no maintenance covenants, and may not include terms that allow the lender to monitor the performance of the borrower and declare a default if certain criteria are breached. Covenant-lite loans may carry more risk than traditional loans as they allow individuals and corporations to engage in activities that would otherwise be difficult or impossible under a covenant-heavy loan agreement. In the event of default, covenant-lite loans may exhibit diminished recovery values as the lender may not have the opportunity to negotiate with the borrower prior to default.

 

CDO Securities. Collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) securities generally are limited-recourse obligations of the issuer thereof payable solely from the underlying securities of such issuer or proceeds thereof. Consequently, holders of CDO securities must rely solely on distributions on the underlying securities or proceeds thereof for payment in respect thereof. If distributions on the underlying securities are insufficient to make payments on the CDO securities, no other assets will be available for payment of the deficiency and following realization of the underlying assets, the obligations of such issuer to pay such deficiency will be extinguished. Such underlying securities may consist of high-yield debt securities, loans, structured finance securities and other debt instruments, generally rated below investment-grade (or of equivalent credit quality) except for structured finance securities. High-yield debt securities are generally unsecured (and loans may be unsecured) and may be subordinated to certain other obligations of the issuer thereof. The lower rating of high-yield debt securities and below investment-grade loans reflects a greater possibility that adverse changes in the financial condition of an issuer or in general economic conditions or both may impair the ability of the issuer to make payments of principal or interest. Such investments may be speculative.

 

Privacy and Data Security Laws. Many jurisdictions in which the Fund and its portfolio companies operate have laws and regulations relating to data privacy, cyber security and protection of personal information, including the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union that went into effect in May 2018 and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) that took effect in January 2020 and provides for enhanced consumer protections for California residents, a private right of action for data breaches and statutory fines for data breaches or other CCPA violations. If the Fund or the Sub-Adviser fail to comply with the relevant laws and regulations, it could result in regulatory investigations and penalties, which could lead to negative publicity and may cause investors and clients to lose confidence in the effectiveness of the Fund’s security measures.

 

Leverage Risk. Under current market conditions, the Fund generally intends to utilize leverage in an amount up to 33 1/3% of the Fund’s Managed Assets principally through Borrowings. In the future, the Fund may elect to utilize leverage in an amount up to 50% of the Fund’s total assets through the issuance of Preferred Shares. Leverage may result in greater volatility of the net asset value and distributions on the common shares because changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio investments, including investments purchased with the proceeds from Borrowings or the issuance of Preferred Shares, if any, are borne entirely by common shareholders.

 

Derivatives Risk. The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of risks, such as liquidity risk (which may be heightened for highly-customized derivatives), interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, leveraging risk, counterparty risk, tax risk, and management risk, as well as risks arising from changes in applicable requirements. They also involve the risk of mispricing, the risk of unfavorable or ambiguous documentation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The Fund’s use of derivatives may increase or accelerate the amount of taxes payable by Common Shareholders.

 

The regulation of the derivatives markets has increased over the past several years, and additional future regulation of the derivatives markets may make derivatives more costly, may limit the availability or reduce the liquidity of derivatives or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives. For instance, in October 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act providing for the regulation of a registered investment company’s use of derivatives, short sales, reverse repurchase agreements, and certain other instruments. Under Rule 18f-4, a fund’s derivatives exposure is limited through a value-at-risk test and requires the adoption and implementation of a derivatives risk management program for certain derivatives users. However, subject to certain conditions, funds that do not invest heavily in derivatives may be deemed limited derivatives users (as defined in Rule 18f-4) and would not be subject to the full requirements of Rule 18f-4. In connection with the adoption of Rule 18f-4, the SEC also eliminated the asset segregation and cover framework arising from prior SEC guidance for covering derivatives and certain financial instruments, as discussed herein, effective at the time that the Fund complies with Rule 18f-4. Rule 18f-4 could limit the Fund’s ability to engage in certain derivatives and other transactions and/or increase the costs of such transactions, which could adversely affect the value or performance of the Fund. Compliance with Rule 18f-4 will be required in August 2022.

 

Segregation and Coverage Risk. Certain portfolio management techniques, such as engaging in short sales, entering into credit default swaps or futures contracts, or purchasing securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be considered senior securities unless appropriate steps are taken to segregate the Fund’s assets or otherwise cover its obligations. When employing these techniques, the Fund may segregate liquid assets, enter into offsetting transactions or own positions covering its obligations. To the extent the Fund covers its commitment under such a portfolio management technique, such instrument will not be considered a senior security for the purposes of the 1940 Act. The Fund may cover such transactions using other methods currently or in the future permitted under the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, or orders issued by the SEC thereunder. For these purposes, interpretations and guidance provided by the SEC staff may be taken into account when deemed appropriate by the Fund. These segregation and coverage requirements could result in the Fund maintaining securities positions that it would otherwise liquidate, segregating assets at a time when it might be disadvantageous to do so or otherwise restricting portfolio management. Such segregation and cover requirements will not limit or offset losses on related positions. In connection with the adoption of Rule 18f-4, the SEC eliminated the asset segregation framework arising from prior SEC guidance for covering derivatives and certain financial instruments. The Fund will comply with the requirements of the new rule on or before the SEC’s compliance date in 2022.

  

 

Inflation/Deflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of certain assets or income from the Fund’s investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the common shares and distributions on the common shares can decline.

 

In addition, during any periods of rising inflation, the dividend rates or borrowing costs associated with the Fund’s use of leverage would likely increase, which would tend to further reduce returns to shareholders. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time—the opposite of inflation. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer defaults more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio.

 

Non-U.S. Instruments Risk. The Fund may invest in non-U.S. Instruments. Non-U.S. investments involve certain risks not typically associated with investing in the United States. Generally, there is less readily available and reliable information about non-U.S. issuers or Borrowers due to less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards and regulatory practices. The cost of servicing external debt will also generally be adversely affected by rising international interest rates, as many external debt obligations bear interest at rates which are adjusted based upon international interest rates. Because non-U.S. Instruments may trade on days when the Fund’s common shares are not priced, the Fund’s NAV may change at times when common shares cannot be sold.

 

Foreign Currency Risk. Because the Fund may invest its Managed Assets in securities or other instruments denominated or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may affect the value of instruments held by the Fund and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. Currencies of certain countries may be volatile and therefore may affect the value of instruments denominated in such currencies, which means that the Fund’s NAV could decline as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. The Sub-Adviser may, but is not required to, elect for the Fund to seek to protect itself from changes in currency exchange rates through hedging transactions depending on market conditions. The Fund may incur costs in connection with the conversions between various currencies. In addition, certain countries may impose foreign currency exchange controls or other restrictions on the repatriation, transferability or convertibility of currency.

 

5. Subsequent Events

 

 

On December 2, 2021, Griffin Capital, LLC (“Griffin Capital”), the indirect parent of Griffin Capital Credit Advisor, LLC (the "Adviser") investment adviser to Griffin Institutional Access Credit Fund (the “Fund”), and Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“AGMI”) entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which, among other things, AGMI would acquire the asset management businesses of Griffin Capital (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, once completed, would result in a change in control of the Adviser, which would be deemed an “assignment” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and an automatic termination of the Fund’s previous Management Agreement with the Adviser (the “Prior Management Agreement”) on the date on which the Transaction closes. The prior investment sub-advisory agreement for the Fund between the Adviser and BCSF Advisors, LP (“BCSF”) (the “Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement”) would also terminate on the Effective Date as a result of the termination of the Prior Management Agreement. To that end, the Adviser and BCSF agreed, along with the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the “Board”), that it was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders for BCSF to resign as the investment sub-adviser to the Fund effective as of the close of business on March 31, 2022. Accordingly, the Fund transitioned investment sub-adviser responsibilities to Apollo Credit Management, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGMI ("Apollo"), on April 1, 2022, pursuant to the terms of an interim sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Apollo (the "Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement") that was unanimously approved by the Board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined under the 1940 Act) of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”), the Adviser, or the Fund's distributor, at a meeting held on December 28, 2021.

 

Prior to the closing of the Transaction and to avoid any disruption in the management of the Fund, the Board, over the course of several meetings, requested of, and reviewed certain information provided by, Griffin Capital, the Adviser, Apollo, and AGMI in connection with the consideration of: (i) a new Management Agreement (the “New Management Agreement”) between the Fund and the Adviser; and (ii) a new Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Apollo (the “New Apollo Agreement”, and, together with the New Management Agreement, the “New Agreements”). The Board, including the majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the New Agreements at a meeting of the Board held on January 13, 2022 and recommended that shareholders of the Fund also approve each of the New Agreements at a special meeting of shareholders of the Fund called for such purpose. The Board set April 20, 2022 as the date for the special meeting of shareholders (the “First Special Meeting”) and approved the filing of a proxy statement to solicit shareholder approval of the New Agreements. The First Special Meeting, originally scheduled for April 20, 2022, was adjourned because of a failure to obtain a quorum. Having then obtained a quorum, the First Special Meeting was held virtually on April 27, 2022 at which time shareholders of the Fund approved the New Agreements.

 

Additionally, at a meeting on January 13, 2022, the Board, while reviewing the New Agreements, noted that the Fund will likely undergo changes in its operations, insofar as various functions would be performed by different organizations and personnel, were the closing of the Transaction to be completed. In this context, Robb Chapin, Ira Cohen and Nathan Headrick, each of whom is an Independent Trustee, serving as an ad hoc nominating committee, and the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to submit Earl Hunt, Meredith Coffey, Christine Gallagher, Michael Porter and Carl J. Rickertsen (each, a “Nominee” and together, the “Nominees”) to the Fund’s shareholders for election. The Board set April 20, 2022 as the date for the special meeting of shareholders (the “Second Special Meeting”) and approved the filing of a separate proxy statement to solicit shareholder approval of the election of the Nominees. The Second Special Meeting, originally scheduled for April 20, 2022, was adjourned because of a failure to obtain a quorum. Having then obtained a quorum, the Second Special Meeting was held virtually on April 27, 2022 at which time shareholders of the Fund approved each of the new Nominees. 

  

 

On May 2, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), AGMI and Griffin Capital closed the Transaction. Accordingly, on the Effective Date, the Prior Management Agreement and Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement were terminated, and the New Agreements became effective. Further, on the Effective Date, (i) Meredith Coffey, Christine Gallagher, Michael Porter and Carl J. Rickertsen were considered to be Independent Trustees; (ii) Earl Hunt was considered to be a Trustee who is an “interested person” of the Fund, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, due to his affiliation with Apollo; and (iii) all the existing Trustees before the Effective Date (Randy Anderson, Robb Chapin, Ira Cohen, Nathan Headrick and Kevin A. Shields) ceased to be Trustees of the Fund. On the Effective Date, the Trustees elected Earl Hunt as President of the Fund, Kenneth Seifert as Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the Fund and Kristin Hester as Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of the Fund. Ryan Del Guidice continues to serve the Chief Compliance Officer, Vice President and Assistant Secretary of the Fund. Additionally, on the Effective Date, the Fund was renamed “Apollo Diversified Credit Fund” and the Adviser was renamed “Apollo Capital Credit Adviser, LLC”.

 

In addition, commencing on April 1, 2022 and extending through June 30, 2022 (the “Waiver Period”), Apollo has agreed to waive a portion of its fee, and, therefore, the Adviser has agreed to waive a corresponding portion of its fee that it would otherwise be paying to Apollo. Thus, during the Waiver Period, Apollo has agreed to waive an amount equal to 0.50% (the “Sub-Advisory Fee Waiver”) of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Sub-Advisory Fee Waiver will terminate upon the sooner to occur of: (i) June 30, 2022, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Adviser and Apollo, or (ii) as of the date that the Adviser elects, in its sole discretion, to cease waiving the portion of its fee that otherwise would be payable to Apollo in the absence of the Sub-Advisory Fee Waiver.
