GOLUB CAPITAL PRIVATE CREDIT FUND

SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 DATED FEBRUARY 21, 2025

TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED JANUARY 24, 2025

 

This prospectus supplement (the “Supplement”) is part of and should be read in conjunction with the prospectus of Golub Capital Private Credit Fund (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Fund”), dated January 24, 2025 (as amended and supplemented to date, the “Prospectus”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Supplement shall have the same meanings as in the Prospectus.

 

The purposes of this Supplement are:

 

· to update the Prospectus; and

 

· to include our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

 

Updates to Prospectus

 

The following replaces the second paragraph to the answer to “Can I request that my shares be repurchased?” under the Prospectus Summary:

 

Under our share repurchase program, to the extent we offer to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, we expect to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers on or around the last business day of the first month of such quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the prior quarter (the “Valuation Date”). Shareholders should keep in mind that if they tender Common Shares in a tender offer with a Valuation Date that is within the 12 month period following the initial issue date of their tendered Common Shares, such Common Shares will be subject to an “early repurchase deduction” of 2% of the aggregate NAV of the Common Shares repurchased (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; in the event that a shareholder’s shares are repurchased because the shareholder has failed to maintain the $500 minimum account balance; or due to trade or operational error. In addition, our Common Shares are sold to certain feeder vehicles primarily created to hold the Fund’s Common Shares that in turn offer interests in such feeder vehicles to non-U.S. persons. For such feeder vehicles and similar arrangements in certain markets, we may not apply the Early Repurchase Deduction to repurchase requests made by the feeder vehicles, including because of administrative or systems limitations. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Fund for the benefit of remaining shareholders.

 

The following replaces the second footnote of the Fees and Expenses table under the “Fees and Expenses” section in the Prospectus:

 

Under our share repurchase program, to the extent we offer to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, we expect to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers on or around the last business day of the first month of such quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of a Valuation Date. Shareholders should keep in mind that if they tender Common Shares in a tender offer with a Valuation Date that is within the 12 month period following the initial issue date of their tendered Common Shares, such Common Shares will be subject to 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; in the event that a shareholder’s shares are repurchased because the shareholder has failed to maintain the $500 minimum account balance; or due to trade or operational error. In addition, our Common Shares are sold to certain feeder vehicles primarily created to hold the Fund’s Common Shares that in turn offer interests in such feeder vehicles to non-U.S. persons. For such feeder vehicles and similar arrangements in certain markets, we may not apply the Early

 

 

 

 

Repurchase Deduction to repurchase requests made by the feeder vehicles, including because of administrative or systems limitations. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Fund for the benefit of remaining shareholders.

 

The following replaces the third paragraph under the “Share Repurchase Program” section in the Prospectus:

 

Under our share repurchase program, to the extent we offer to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, we expect to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers on or around the last business day of the first month of such quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the Valuation Date, 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 Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. In addition, our Common Shares are sold to certain feeder vehicles primarily created to hold the Fund’s Common Shares that in turn offer interests in such feeder vehicles to non-U.S. persons. For such feeder vehicles and similar arrangements in certain markets, we may not apply the Early Repurchase Deduction to repurchase requests made by the feeder vehicles, including because of administrative or systems limitations.

Golub Capital Private Credit Fund and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

 

Note 1. Organization

 

Golub Capital Private Credit Fund (“GCRED” or the “Company”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on May 13, 2022. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company commenced operations on June 30, 2023. The Company’s fiscal year end is September 30.

 

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in privately originated and privately negotiated investments, predominantly through direct lending to U.S. private companies in the middle-market and upper middle-market in the form of one stop and other senior secured loans. The Company could selectively invest in second lien and subordinated loans (including loans that rank senior only to a borrower’s equity securities and ranks junior to all of such borrower’s other indebtedness in priority of payment) of private companies. The Company could also invest in liquid credit instruments, including secured floating rate syndicated loans, securitized products and corporate bonds, and the Company’s portfolio may, but will not necessarily, initially be comprised of a greater percentage of such instruments than it will as the Company’s investment program matures, though the exact allocation could vary from time to time depending on market conditions and available investment opportunities. The Company’s portfolio could also include equity interests such as preferred equity, debt investments accompanied by equity-related securities (including warrants) and, to a limited extent, common equity investments, which generally would be obtained as part of providing a broader financing solution. The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with GC Advisors, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”), under which the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. Under an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) the Company is provided with certain services by an administrator, which is currently Golub Capital LLC (the “Administrator”).

 

The Company offers on a continuous basis up to $5.0 billion of common shares of beneficial interest pursuant to an offering registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company has received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Company to issue multiple share classes through Class S common shares (“Class S Shares”), Class D common shares (“Class D Shares”) and Class I common shares (“Class I Shares” and, together with Class S Shares and Class D Shares, the “Common Shares”) with, among others, different ongoing shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees (the “Public Offering”).

  

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Updates

 

Basis of presentation: The Company is an investment company as defined in the accounting and reporting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 - Financial Services - Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”).

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications consisting solely of normal accruals that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC.

Fair value of financial instruments: The Company applies fair value to all of its financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurement (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. On August 2, 2024, the board of trustees of the Company (the “Board”) designated the Investment Adviser as the Company’s valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”) in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As of such date, the Valuation Designee is responsible for determining the fair value of the Company’s portfolio investments, subject to oversight of the Board. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Valuation Designee has categorized the Company’s financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Investment Adviser’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market and the current market conditions. To the extent that the 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 by the Valuation Designee in determining fair value is greatest for financial instruments classified as Level 3.

 

Any changes to the valuation methodology are reviewed by management and the Board to confirm that the changes are appropriate. As markets change, new products develop and the pricing for products becomes more or less transparent, the Valuation Designee will continue to refine its valuation methodologies. See further description of fair value methodology in “Note 6. Fair Value Measurements”.

 

Use of estimates: The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Consolidation: As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946, the Company will generally 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, GCRED Holdings LLC, Golub Capital Private Credit Fund CLO (“2023 Issuer”), formerly GCP SG Warehouse 2022-1 (the “CLO Vehicle”), and Golub Capital Private Credit Fund CLO Depositor statutory trust in its consolidated financial statements.

 

Assets related to transactions that do not meet ASC Topic 860 requirements for accounting sale treatment are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as investments. Those assets are owned by the 2023 Issuer, a special purpose entity, that is consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The creditors of the special purpose entity have received security interests in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of GCRED (or any affiliate of GCRED).

 

Cash and cash equivalents and foreign currencies: Cash and cash equivalents and foreign currencies are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions and, at times, such balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

 

Restricted cash and cash equivalents: Restricted cash and cash equivalents include amounts that are collected and are held by trustees who have been appointed as custodians of the assets securing certain of the Company’s financing transactions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are held by the trustees for payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings or reinvestment into new assets.

Foreign currency translation: The Company’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars. Non-U.S. dollar transactions during the period are valued at the prevailing spot rates on the applicable transaction date and the related assets and liabilities are revalued at the prevailing spot rates as of period-end.

 

Net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates and fluctuations arising from the translation of assets and liabilities are included with the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Foreign security and currency transactions involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

 

Derivative instruments: The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC Topic 815”), when accounting for derivative instruments.

 

Forward currency contracts: A forward currency contract is an obligation between two parties to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Company utilized forward currency contracts to economically hedge the currency exposure associated with certain foreign-denominated investments. The use of forward currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Company owns or intends to acquire, but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the exchange rates on the contract date and reporting date and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the contracts are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency contracts is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as a component of “Net unrealized appreciation on derivatives” and “Net unrealized depreciation on derivatives” by counterparty on a net basis across all derivative instruments, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable.

 

The primary risks associated with forward currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks can exceed the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

 

Refer to Note 5 for more information regarding the forward currency contracts.

 

Interest rate swaps: The Company designated interest rate swaps as the hedging instrument in qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationships, and as a result, the change in fair value of the hedging instruments and hedged items are recorded in interest expense and recognized as components of “Interest and other debt financing expenses” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as a component of “Net unrealized appreciation on derivatives” and “Net unrealized depreciation on derivatives” by counterparty on a net basis across all derivative instruments, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. Refer to Note 5 for more information regarding the interest rate swaps.

 

Revenue recognition:

 

Investments and related investment income: Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual interest terms of debt investments.

 

Original issue discount, market discount or premium and certain loan origination or amendment fees that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield (“Loan Origination Fees”) are capitalized and the Company accretes or amortizes such amounts over the life of the loan as interest income (“Discount Amortization”). For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company received Loan Origination Fees that were capitalized of $9,435 and

 

39

 

 

Golub Capital Private Credit Fund and Subsidiaries 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) 

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

 

$4,690, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, interest income included $2,738 and $1,605, respectively, of Discount Amortization.

 

For investments with contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at maturity, the Company will not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not collectible. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, investment income included $4,657 and $555, respectively, of PIK interest and the Company capitalized PIK interest of $4,816 and $593, respectively, into the principal balance of certain debt investments.

 

In addition, the Company generates revenue in the form of amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees, administrative agent fees, and prepayment premiums on loans. The Company records these fees that are not deemed to be an adjustment to yield as fee income when earned. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, fee income included no non-recurring prepayment premiums. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, fee income included $21 of non-recurring prepayment premiums. All other income is recorded into income when earned.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company received interest and fee income in cash, which excludes capitalized Loan Origination Fees, in the amount of $85,388 and $42,857, respectively.

 

Dividend income on equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. The Company has certain preferred equity securities in the portfolio that contain a PIK dividend provision that are accrued and recorded as income at the contractual rates, if deemed collectible. The accrued PIK and non-cash dividends are capitalized to the cost basis of the preferred equity security and are generally collected when redeemed by the issuer. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized PIK and non-cash dividend income of $106, which were capitalized into the cost basis of certain preferred equity investments. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not recognize any PIK and non-cash dividend income to be capitalized into the cost basis of certain preferred equity investments. For both the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not receive any cash payments of accrued and capitalized preferred dividends.

 

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. Each distribution received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments is evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize any dividend income received in cash and did not receive any return of capital distributions in cash.

 

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. The Company reports current period changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment transactions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Non-accrual loans: A loan can be left on accrual status while the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan. Management reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal and interest, or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected, for possible placement on non-accrual status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Additionally, any capitalized Loan Origination Fees are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status.

Golub Capital Private Credit Fund and Subsidiaries

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

 

Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid, and, in management’s judgment, payments are likely to remain current. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the Company had no portfolio company investments on non-accrual status.

 

Income taxes: The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify and be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to its shareholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, for each tax year. The Company has made, and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal income taxes with respect to all income distributed to its shareholders.

 

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company can determine to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions and distribute such taxable income in the next tax year. The Company could then be required to incur a 4% excise tax on such income. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar year basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not record any U.S. federal excise tax expense. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, $18 was recorded for U.S. federal excise tax.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense or tax benefit in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no material unrecognized tax benefits or unrecognized tax liabilities related to uncertain income tax positions through December 31, 2024. The Company’s tax returns for the 2023 tax year remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

 

Dividends and distributions: Dividends and distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the record date. Subject to the discretion of and as determined by the Board, the Company intends to authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions based on a formula approved by the Board on a quarterly basis. The amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company can retain such capital gains for investment in its discretion.

 

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalf of its shareholders, unless a shareholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Board authorizes and the Company declares a cash distribution, then shareholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional Common Shares, rather than receiving the cash distribution. Shares issued under the DRIP will be issued at a price per share equal to the most recent net offering price per share for such shares at the time the distribution is payable.

 

Deferred debt issuance costs: Deferred debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the Company had deferred debt issuance costs of $20,799 and $18,999, respectively. These amounts are amortized and included in “Interest and other debt financing expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

 

estimated average life of the borrowings. Amortization expense for deferred debt issuance costs for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1,487 and $404, respectively.

 

Deferred offering costs: Costs associated with the offering of Common Shares will be capitalized as deferred offering expenses and amortized on a straight line basis. Deferred offering costs consist of fees paid in relation to legal, accounting, regulatory and printing work completed in preparation of equity offerings. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company amortized $562 and $330, respectively, of deferred offering costs, which are included in “Professional fees” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Recent accounting updates: In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU No. 2023-07 enhances the disclosures required for reportable segments on an annual and interim basis. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2023-07.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU No. 2023-09 requires additional disaggregated disclosures on the entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and additional details on income taxes paid. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2023-09.

 

Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions

 

Investment Advisory Agreement: Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to the Company. The Investment Adviser is a registered investment adviser with the SEC. The Investment Adviser receives fees for providing services under the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee.

 

Base Management Fee

 

The base management fee is calculated 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 quarter adjusted for share issuances and repurchases and is payable quarterly in arrears. For purposes of the Investment Advisory Agreement, net assets means the Company’s assets less liabilities determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent the Investment Adviser or an affiliate of the Investment Adviser provides investment advisory, collateral management or other similar services to a subsidiary of the Company, the Company’s management fee shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (a) the total fees paid to the Investment Adviser by such subsidiary for such services and (b) the percentage of such subsidiary’s total equity that is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company.

 

The base management fee incurred for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $6,062 and $2,093, respectively.

 

Incentive Fees

 

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

 

(i)            Income based incentive fee (the “Income Incentive Fee”)

 

The Income Incentive Fee 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, adjusted for share issuances and repurchases,

 

42

 

 

Golub Capital Private Credit Fund and Subsidiaries

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

 

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 management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement 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 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).

 

The Company pays the Investment Adviser quarterly in arrears an Income 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 portion of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.43% is referred to as the “catch-up” provision; 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 Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns thereafter are allocated to the Investment Adviser.

 

The sum of these calculations yields the Income Incentive Fee. This amount is appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Income Incentive Fee incurred was $5,827 and $2,714, respectively.

 

(ii)         Capital gains based incentive fee (the “Capital Gain Incentive Fee”)

 

The second component of the incentive fee, the Capital Gain Incentive Fee, is payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears. The amount payable equals:

 

·12.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from July 1, 2023 through the end of each calendar year, 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 Fee.

 

Realized capital gains and losses include gains and losses on investments, foreign currencies, including gains and losses on borrowings in foreign currencies, derivative contracts and any income tax related to cumulative aggregate realized gains and losses. Each year, the fee paid for the Capital Gain Incentive Fee is net of the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee for all prior periods.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not accrue a Capital Gain Incentive Fee. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, there was no Capital Gain Incentive Fee payable as calculated

 

43

 

 

Golub Capital Private Credit Fund and Subsidiaries

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

 

under the Investment Advisory Agreement as described above. Any payment due for a Capital Gain Incentive Fee under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement is calculated in arrears at the end of each calendar year.

 

In accordance with GAAP, the Company also is required to include the aggregate unrealized capital appreciation on investments in the calculation and accrue a capital gain incentive fee on a quarterly basis, as if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement, as applicable. There can be no assurance that any such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded an accrual of the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP of $1,273. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded no accrual of the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, there was $2,030 and $757, respectively, of cumulative accrual for the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP included in “Management and incentive fees payable” on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

 

Administration Agreement: Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes the Company with office facilities and equipment, provides, or oversees the performance of, administrative and compliance services, including, but not limited to, maintaining financial records, overseeing the calculation of net asset value (“NAV”) and net offering price, preparing reports to shareholders and reports filed with the SEC, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to shareholders, managing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. The Company reimburses the Administrator the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company’s allocable portion of the cost of its chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. The Board reviews such expenses to determine that these expenses, including any allocation of expenses among the Company and other entities for which the Administrator provides similar services, are reasonable and comparable to administrative services charged by unaffiliated third-party asset managers. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides, on the Company’s behalf, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the Company is required to provide such assistance and will be paid an additional amount based on the cost of the services provided, which amount shall not exceed the amount the Company receives from such portfolio companies.

 

Included in accounts payable and other liabilities is $977 and $762, as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, respectively, for accrued allocated shared services under the Administration Agreement.

 

The Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement were most recently reapproved by the Board on May 3, 2024. The Company may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement or the Administration Agreement, without payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written notice.

 

Managing Dealer Agreement: The Company has entered into a Managing Dealer Agreement (the “Managing Dealer Agreement”) with Arete Wealth Management, LLC (the “Managing Dealer”). Under the terms of the Managing Dealer Agreement, the Managing Dealer manages relationships with third-party brokers engaged by the Managing Dealer to participate in the distribution of the Company’s Class I Shares, Class D Shares and Class S Shares (referred to as “participating brokers”), and financial advisors. The Managing Dealer is entitled to receive shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 0.85% and 0.25% of the aggregate NAV attributable to Class S Shares and Class D Shares, respectively. No shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are paid with respect to Class I Shares. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are payable to the Managing Dealer, but the Managing Dealer anticipates that all or a portion of the shareholder servicing fees and/or distribution fees will be retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating brokers. In addition, pursuant to the Managing Dealer Agreement, the Company pays the Managing Dealer certain fees for its services as Managing Dealer, including, a $35 engagement fee that was paid upon the effective date of the Public Offering, a $250 fixed managing dealer fee that was paid for the first 15 months of the Public Offering in five equal quarterly installments following effectiveness of the Public Offering and a two basis point variable managing dealer fee that is payable quarterly in arrears on any new capital raised in the Public Offering following the expiration of the initial 15-month period of the Public Offering. Such fees are borne by all shareholders of the Company. For the three

 

44

 

 

Golub Capital Private Credit Fund and Subsidiaries 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) 

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

 

months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $100 and $50, respectively, of fees paid to the Managing Dealer.

 

The Managing Dealer is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

 

On May 3, 2024, the Managing Dealer Agreement was renewed and continued for an additional one-year period. The Managing Dealer 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 and servicing plan or the Managing Dealer Agreement or by vote a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, on not more than 60 days’ written notice to the Managing Dealer or the Investment Adviser. The Managing Dealer Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act.

 

Distribution and Servicing Plan: On April 4, 2023, the Board approved a distribution and servicing plan (the “Distribution and Servicing Plan”) and on May 3, 2024 the Distribution and Servicing Plan was amended and approved for an additional one-year period. The following table shows the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees the Company pays the Managing Dealer with respect to the Class S Shares, Class D Shares and Class I Shares on an annualized basis as a percentage of the Company’s NAV for such class. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are paid monthly in arrears, calculated using the NAV of the applicable class as of the beginning of the first calendar day of each applicable quarter. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are calculated and paid separately for each class.

 

   Shareholder Servicing and/or Distribution
Fee Rate as a % of NAV
 
Class S Shares   0.85%
Class D Shares   0.25%
Class I Shares   N/A 

 

The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees paid under the Distribution and Servicing Plan are used primarily to compensate the Managing Dealer for such services provided in connection with the offering and sale of shares of the Company, and/or to reimburse the Managing Dealer for related expenses incurred, including payments by the Managing Dealer to compensate or reimburse brokers, other financial institutions or other industry professionals, for distribution services and sales support services provided and related expenses.

 

Payments of the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee are also used to compensate the Managing Dealer for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts services provided to shareholders in the related share class and could be made without regard to expenses actually incurred.

 

Payments of the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees on behalf of a particular share class must be in consideration of services rendered for or on behalf of such class. In addition to the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees, the Company also pays the Managing Dealer certain additional fees for its services under the Distribution and Servicing Plan, which are borne indirectly by all shareholders of the Company. Any fees paid pursuant to the Distribution and Servicing Plan may not exceed the maximum amounts, if any, as may from time to time be permitted by FINRA rules.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees of $172, which were attributable to Class S Shares. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not incur any distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees.

 

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement: The Company has entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Support Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser may elect to pay certain expenses on the Company’s behalf (each, an “Expense Support Payment”), provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any of the Company’s interest

expense or distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees of the Company. Any Expense Support Payment that the Investment Adviser has committed to pay must be paid by the Investment 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 Investment 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 Investment Adviser until such time as all Expense Support Payments made by the Investment 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 the Company’s (i) net investment income calculated in accordance with GAAP, (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 to the Company 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).

 

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 Investment Adviser has waived its right to receive such payment for the applicable month.

 

The following table presents a summary of Expense Support Payments and the related Reimbursement Payments for each of the quarterly periods since the Company’s commencement of operations:

Public Offering Escrow Agreement: The Company entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with UMB Bank, N.A.. The Company broke escrow on April 1, 2024 and June 30, 2023 for Class S Shares and Class I Shares, respectively. If the Company begins selling Class D Shares, it will accept purchase orders and hold investors' funds in an interest-bearing escrow account for Class D Shares until we receive purchase orders pursuant to this offering for at least 100 investors in Class D Shares.

 

Other Related Party Transactions: On April 27, 2023, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser purchased 2,000 shares of the Company’s Class F common shares (the “Class F Shares”) at $25.00 per share.

On May 1, 2024, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser indirectly purchased $9,900 of Class I Shares through its ownership of a feeder vehicle.

Interest Rate Swaps

 

On May 8, 2024, in connection with the 2027 Notes (as defined in “Note 7. Borrowings”), the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with Macquarie and SMBC to more closely align the interest rate of such liability with its investment portfolio, which consists primarily of floating rate loans. Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Company (i) receives a fixed interest rate of 7.12% and pays SMBC a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR plus 2.5975% on the first $225,000 of the Tranche A Notes (as defined in “Note 7. Borrowings”) and (ii) receives a fixed interest rate of 7.12% and pays Macquarie a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR plus 2.644% on the second $75,000 of the Tranche A Notes. The interest rate swap agreements were effective as of May 22, 2024. The interest rate swap with SMBC as counterparty terminates on September 18, 2027 and the interest rate swap with Macquarie as counterparty terminates on September 20, 2027. The Company designated these interest

rate swaps and the 2027 Notes as a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship. See “Note 7. Borrowings” for more information on the 2027 Notes.

 

On September 5, 2024, in connection with the 2029 Notes (as defined in “Note 7. Borrowings”), the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with Regions and Macquarie to more closely align the interest rate of such liability with its investment portfolio, which consists primarily of floating rate loans. Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Company (i) receives a fixed interest rate of 6.046% and pays Regions a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR plus 2.7875% on the first $350,000 of the 2029 Notes and (ii) receives a fixed interest rate of 6.046% and pays Macquarie a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR plus 2.770% on the second $150,000 of the 2029 Notes. The interest rate swap agreements were effective as of September 12, 2024 and terminate on August 12, 2029. The Company designated these interest rate swaps and the 2029 Notes as a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship. See “Note 7. Borrowings” for more information on the 2029 Notes.

 

As a result of the Company’s designation as a hedging instrument in a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship, the Company is required to fair value the hedging instrument and the related hedged item, with the changes in the fair value of each being recorded in interest expense. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the net loss related to the fair value hedge was $3,198 which is included in “Interest and other debt financing expenses” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no net gain/(loss) related to the fair value hedge for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The table below presents the components of the net gain/(loss) related to the fair value hedge recognized for the hedging instrument, the interest rate swaps, and the hedged items, the Tranche A Notes and 2029 Notes, from derivatives designated in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship for the three months ended December 31, 2024. There were no derivatives designated in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Offsetting Derivatives

 

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Company mitigate its counterparty risk, the Company has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with each of its derivative counterparties, Macquarie Bank Limited (“Macquarie”), SMBC Capital Markets, Inc. (“SMBC”) and Regions Bank (“Regions” and, together with Macquarie and SMBC, the “Counterparties” and each a “Counterparty”). Each ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Company and each Counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, including forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps, and contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of each ISDA Master Agreements with each of the Counterparties permits a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

 

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Company and cash collateral received from either Counterparty, if any, is included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as other assets or other liabilities. As of December 31, 2024, there was $1,510 of collateral pledged for derivatives included in other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. There was no collateral pledged for derivatives as of September 30, 2024. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

 

The following table is intended to provide additional information about the effect of the offsetting derivative contracts on the consolidated financial statements of the Company including: the location of those fair values on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and the Company’s gross and net amount of assets and liabilities available for offset under netting arrangements as well as any related collateral received or pledged by the Company as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

Exclusion of the Investment Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition

 

Engaging in commodity interest transactions such as swap transactions or futures contracts for the Company could cause the Investment Adviser to fall within the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act (the “CEA”) and related Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) regulations. The Investment Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the CEA and the CFTC regulations in connection with its management of the Company and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration or regulation under the CEA as a commodity pool operator with respect to its management of the Company.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 820 for measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the assets or liabilities or market and the assets’ or liabilities’ complexity. Effective August 2, 2024, the Board designated the Investment Adviser as the Company’s Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Company’s fair value analysis, currently undertaken by the Valuation Designee, includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Assets and liabilities are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level1:  Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level2:  Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level3:  Inputs include significant unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information available and require significant management judgment or estimation.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Valuation Designee assesses the levels of assets and liabilities at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, certain debt investments with a fair value of $31,029 transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and certain debt investments with a fair value of $22,872 transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, certain debt investments with a fair value of $2,964 transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and certain debt investments with a fair value of $3,969 transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The transfers into or out of Level 3 were primarily due to decreased or increased transparency of the observable prices for both the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The following section describes the valuation techniques used to measure different assets and liabilities at fair value and includes the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the assets and liabilities are categorized.

 

Investments

 

Level 1 investments are valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 investments are valued using market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee, based on input of the Valuation Designee’s personnel and independent valuation firms that have been engaged by or at the direction of the Valuation Designee to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least every other quarter under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with each portfolio investment being reviewed at least every other quarter (subject to a de minimis threshold) with approximately 50% (based on the fair value of the portfolio company investments) of the Company’s valuations of debt and equity investments without readily available market quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm. As of December 31, 2024, $645,815

and $3,408,023 of investments were valued using Level 2 inputs and Level 3 inputs, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, $615,715 and $2,649,583 of investments were valued using Level 2 inputs and Level 3 inputs, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, all interest rate swaps were valued using Level 2 inputs and all money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents were valued using Level 1 inputs. As of December 31, 2024, all forward currency contracts were valued using Level 2 inputs.

 

When determining fair value of Level 3 debt and equity investments, the Valuation Designee takes into account the following factors, where relevant: the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons to publicly traded securities, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that affect the price at which similar investments are made and other relevant factors. The primary method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). A portfolio company’s EBITDA can include pro forma adjustments for items such as acquisitions, divestitures, or expense reductions. The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments and to determine if debt investments are credit impaired. If debt investments are credit impaired, the Valuation Designee will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value. For debt investments that are not determined to be credit impaired, the Valuation Designee uses a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value.

 

In addition, for certain debt investments, the Valuation Designee bases its valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an independent third party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Company and others could be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the Company and others could be willing to accept. The Valuation Designee generally uses the midpoint of the bid/ask range as its best estimate of fair value of such investment.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments could differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and could differ materially from the values that are ultimately received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded.

 

The Company’s investments are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments are traded.

 

The following tables present fair value measurements of the Company’s investments and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024:

(3) The Company valued $10,343 and $1,100 of equity investments using EBITDA and revenue multiples, respectively.

 

The above tables are not intended to be all-inclusive but rather to provide information on significant unobservable inputs and valuation techniques used by the Valuation Designee.

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and equity investments are EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples and market interest rates. The Valuation Designee uses EBITDA multiples and, to a lesser extent, revenue multiples on the Company’s debt and equity investments to determine any credit gains or losses. Increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The Valuation Designee uses market interest rates for loans to determine if the effective yield on a loan is commensurate with the market yields for that type of loan. If a loan’s effective yield was significantly less than the market yield for a similar loan with a similar credit profile, then the resulting fair value of the loan could have been lower.

 

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

ASC Topic 820 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate such value. As a result, with the exception of the line item titled “debt” which is reported at cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition due to their short maturity. The fair value of the Company's 2029 Notes is based on vendor pricing received by the Company, which is considered a Level 2 input. The fair value of the Company’s remaining debt is estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting remaining payments using comparable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date, if available.

 

The following are the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s debt as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024:

 

   As of December 31, 2024   As of September 30, 2024 
   Carrying Value   Fair Value   Carrying Value   Fair Value

Note 7. Borrowings

 

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, the Company is currently allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. On May 17, 2023, the Company’s sole shareholder approved the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements of Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act and declined the Company’s offer to repurchase all of its outstanding common shares. As a result of such approval, effective as of May 18, 2023, the Company’s asset coverage requirement was reduced from 200% to 150%, or a ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness of 2:1 as compared to a maximum of 1:1 under the 200% asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 200.6%.

 

2023 Debt Securitization: On September 21, 2023, the Company completed a $693,620 term debt securitization (the “2023 Debt Securitization”). Term debt securitizations are also known as collateralized loan obligations and are a form of secured financing incurred by the Company, which is consolidated by the Company and subject to the overall asset coverage requirement. The notes offered in the 2023 Debt Securitization (the “2023 Notes”) were issued by the 2023 Issuer and are backed by a diversified portfolio of senior secured and second lien loans. The 2023 Notes offered in the 2023 Debt Securitization consist of $395,500 of AAA Class A-1 Notes (the “Class A-1 Notes”), which bear interest at three-month term SOFR plus 2.40%; $38,500 of AAA Class A-2 Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”), which bear interest at three-month term SOFR plus 2.30%; and $259,620 of subordinated notes, which do not bear interest (the “Subordinated 2023 Notes”). The Company indirectly retained all of the Subordinated 2023 Notes which were eliminated in consolidation. On September 9, 2024, the Company sold the previously retained Class A-2 Notes to a third party. The Class A-1 Notes and Class A-2 Notes are included in the December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as debt of the Company.

 

Through October 26, 2027, all principal collections received on the underlying collateral may be used by the 2023 Issuer to purchase new collateral under the direction of the Investment Adviser, in its capacity as collateral manager of the 2023 Issuer, in accordance with the Company’s investment strategy and subject to customary conditions set forth in the documents governing the 2023 Debt Securitization, allowing the Company to maintain the initial leverage in the 2023 Debt Securitization. The Class A-1 and Class A-2 Notes are due on October 26, 2035. The Subordinated 2023 Notes are due in 2123.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, there were 69 and 70 portfolio companies, respectively, with total fair value of $679,091 and $688,016, respectively, securing the 2023 Notes. The pool of loans in the 2023 Debt Securitization must meet certain requirements, including asset mix and concentration, collateral coverage, term, agency rating, minimum coupon, minimum spread and sector diversity requirements. The interest charged under the 2023 Debt Securitization is based on three-month term SOFR. The three-month term SOFR in effect as of December 31, 2024 based on the last interest rate reset was 4.6%.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the components of interest expense, cash paid for interest expense, annualized average stated interest rates and average outstanding balances for the 2023 Debt Securitization were as follows:

SMBC Credit Facility: On September 6, 2023, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “SMBC Credit Facility”) with the Company, as borrower, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, and the lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto which, as of December 31, 2024, allowed the Company to borrow up to $1,240,000 in U.S. dollars and certain agreed upon foreign currencies, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions. Under the SMBC Credit Facility, the lenders have agreed to provide the Company with an option for the Company to request, at one or more times, that existing and/or new lenders, at their election, provide additional commitments up to $1,500,000. On November 22, 2024, the Company entered into the third amendment to the SMBC Credit Facility (the “Third SMBC Amendment”). The Third SMBC Amendment, among other things, (a) increased the total commitment facility amount from $1,115,000 to $1,240,000 through the addition of new lenders, (b) extended the maturity date to November 22, 2029, (c) reduced the applicable margin on borrowings under the SMBC Credit Facility to 0.875% for any ABR Loan (as defined in the SMBC Credit Facility) and 1.875% for any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan (as defined in the SMBC Credit Facility) and (d) reduced the commitment fee on the daily unused portion of commitments to 0.35% per annum.

 

The SMBC Credit Facility provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an initial aggregate face amount of up to $50,000, subject to increase or reduction from time to time pursuant to the terms of the SMBC Credit Facility.

 

The SMBC Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries thereunder.

 

Borrowings under the SMBC Credit Facility bear interest at the applicable base rate plus a margin of either 0.875% or 1.875%. The applicable base rate under the SMBC Credit Facility is (i) SOFR with respect to any advances denominated in U.S. dollars, (ii) SONIA with respect to any advances denominated in U.K. pound sterling, (iii) EURIBOR with respect to any advances denominated in euros, and (iv) the relevant rate as defined in the SMBC Credit Facility for borrowings in other currencies. Borrowings under the SMBC Credit Facility in U.S Dollars and U.K. pound sterling could also be subject to a flat credit adjustment spread of 0.10% and 0.0326%, respectively. Borrowings under the SMBC Credit Facility in Canadian Dollars could also be subject to a flat credit adjustment spread of 0.29547% for one month tenor loans and 0.32138% for three month tenor loans.

 

The Company pays a commitment fee of 0.35% per annum on the daily unused portion of commitments under the SMBC Credit Facility. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit participation fees and a fronting fee on the daily amount of any lender’s exposure with respect to any letters of credit issued at the request of the Company under the SMBC Credit Facility. The Company may request borrowings on the SMBC Credit Facility (the “Availability Period”) through November 22, 2028 (the “Commitment Termination Date”), and the SMBC Credit Facility requires mandatory prepayment of interest and principal upon certain events during the term-out period commencing on the Commitment Termination Date. The SMBC Credit Facility matures on November 22, 2029.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding debt of $672,644 and $223,854, respectively, and no letters of credit outstanding under the SMBC Credit Facility.

The 2027 Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company’s option at par plus accrued interest to the prepayment date and, if applicable, a make-whole premium. In addition, the Company is obligated to offer to prepay the 2027 Notes at par plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date of prepayment, if certain change in control events occur. The 2027 Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank pari-passu, or equal in right of payment, with all outstanding and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company.

 

On May 8, 2024, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements on the 2027 Notes with SMBC and Macquarie as counterparties. Under the terms of the agreement with SMBC, the Company (i) receives a fixed interest rate of 7.12% and (ii) pays SMBC a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR plus 2.5975% on the first $225,000 of the Tranche A Notes.

The interest rate swap agreements were effective as of May 22, 2024. The Company designated these interest rate swaps and the 2027 Notes as a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship. See “Note 5. Derivatives” for more information.

2029 Notes: On September 12, 2024, the Company issued $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes (the “2029 Notes”). As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes was $500,000. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.800% per year payable semi-annually on March 12 and September 12 of each year, commencing on March 12, 2025. The 2029 Notes mature on September 12, 2029.

 

The 2029 Notes are the Company’s general unsecured obligations that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future indebtedness or other obligations that are expressly subordinated, or junior, in right of payment to the 2029 Notes. The 2029 Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all existing and future indebted (including trade payables) incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

 

At any time or from time to time, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on the 2029 Notes on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using the applicable Treasury Rate plus 40 basis points less interest accrued to the date of redemption. If the Company redeems any 2029 Notes on or after August 12, 2029 (the date falling one month prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes), the redemption price for the 2029 Notes will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2029 Notes.

 

On September 5, 2024, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements on the 2029 Notes with Regions and Macquarie as counterparties. Under the agreement with Regions, the Company (i) receives a fixed interest rate of 6.046% and (ii) pays Regions a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR plus 2.7875% on the first $350,000 of the 2029 Notes. Under the agreement with Macquarie, the Company (i) receives a fixed interest rate of 6.046% and (ii) pays Macquarie a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR plus 2.770% on the second $150,000 of the 2029 Notes. The interest rate swap agreements were effective as of September 12, 2024. The Company designated these interest rate swaps and the 2029 Notes as a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship. See “Note 5. Derivatives” for more information.

(1) Represents principal outstanding plus unamortized premium and / or unaccreted original issue discount.

(2) Carrying value is inclusive of an adjustment for the change in fair value of an effective hedge accounting relationship. See “Note 5. Derivatives” for additional information.

 

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Commitments: As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $898,062, including $233,281 of commitments on undrawn revolvers. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $676,610, including $174,900 of commitments on undrawn revolvers.

 

Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as these involve future claims against the Company that have not occurred. The Company expects the risk of any future obligations under these indemnifications to be remote.

 

Off-balance sheet risk: Off-balance sheet risk refers to an unrecorded potential liability that could result in a future obligation or loss, even though it does not appear on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company has entered and, in the future, could again enter into derivative instruments that contain elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. Refer to Note 5 for outstanding forward currency contracts and interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024. Derivative instruments can be affected by market conditions, such as interest rate and foreign currency volatility, which could impact the fair value of the derivative instruments. If market conditions move against the Company, it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the derivative instruments and could realize a loss. The Company minimizes market risk through monitoring its investments and borrowings.

 

Concentration of credit and counterparty risk: Credit risk arises primarily from the potential inability of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Company has engaged and, in the future, may engage again in derivative transactions with counterparties. In the event that the counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company could be exposed to risk.

 

The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparties or issuers of the instruments. The Company’s maximum loss that it could incur related to counterparty risk on its derivative instruments is the value of the collateral for that respective derivative instrument. It is the Company’s policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.

 

Legal proceedings: In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to legal and regulatory proceedings that are generally incidental to its ongoing operations. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings, the Company does not believe any disposition will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Share Issuances

 

In connection with its formation, the Company has the authority to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares at $0.01 per share par value. The Company offers on a continuous basis up to $5.0 billion of Common Shares pursuant to the Public Offering. The Company has received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Company to issue multiple share classes through Class S Shares, Class D Shares and Class I Shares, with, among others, different ongoing shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees. The share classes have different ongoing distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees. As of April 1, 2024, the Company had received purchase orders from greater than 100 investors for Class S Shares, and the Board authorized the release of Class S proceeds from escrow. As of such date, the Company issued and sold 814,973.864 Class S Shares, and the escrow agent released net proceeds of $20,513 to the Company as payment for such Class S Shares. If the Company begins selling Class D Shares, we will accept purchase orders and hold investors' funds in an interest-bearing escrow account for Class D Shares until we receive purchase orders pursuant to this offering for at least 100 investors in Class D Shares.

 

The following table summarizes the Common Shares issued and net proceeds from the Public Offering during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

In connection with the Public Offering, the Company sells shares at an offering price per share as determined in accordance with a share pricing policy. Under such policy, in connection with each monthly closing on the sale of Class S Shares, Class D Shares and Class I Shares, the Board has authorized the Investment Adviser to establish a net offering price that it believes reflects a price per share that is no less than the then-current NAV per share. The following table summarizes the net offering price per share of Common Shares in the Public Offering during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Share Repurchase Program

 

At the discretion of the Board, the Company has commenced a share repurchase program in which the Company intends to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of the NAV of the Company’s common shares outstanding as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program upon 30 days’ notice if it deems such action to be in the best interest of shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. The Company intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

 

Under the share repurchase program, 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 the first month of such quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the prior 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 will be retained by the Company for the benefit of remaining shareholders.

 

The following table presents share repurchases completed under the share repurchase program during the three months ended December 31, 2024. There were no share repurchases completed during the three months ended December 31, 2023.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statistics and other data that have been obtained from or compiled from information made available by third-party service providers. We have not independently verified such statistics or data.

 

Overview

 

We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. As a business development company and a RIC, we are also subject to certain constraints, including limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the Code. We were formed in May 2022 as a Delaware statutory trust and commenced operations on June 30, 2023.

 

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in one stop (a loan that combines characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured loans and second lien or subordinated loans and that are often referred to by other middle-market lenders as unitranche loans) and other senior secured loans of U.S. middle-market companies. We also selectively invest in second lien and subordinated loans of, and warrants and minority equity securities in U.S. middle-market companies. In addition, we could also invest in liquid credit instruments, including secured floating rate syndicated loans, securitized products and corporate bonds, and we expect that, as a general matter, our portfolio will initially be comprised of a greater percentage of such instruments than it will as our investment program matures, though the exact allocation could vary from time to time depending on market conditions and available investment opportunities. We intend to achieve our investment objective by (1) accessing the established loan origination channels developed by Golub Capital, a leading lender to U.S. middle-market companies with over $75.0 billion in capital under management(1) as of January 1, 2025, (2) selecting investments within our core middle-market company focus, (3) partnering with experienced private equity firms, or sponsors, in many cases with whom Golub Capital has invested alongside in the past, (4) implementing the disciplined underwriting standards of Golub Capital and (5) drawing upon the aggregate experience and resources of Golub Capital.

 

Our investment activities are managed by GC Advisors and supervised by our board of trustees of which a majority of the members are independent of us, GC Advisors and its affiliates.

 

Under an investment advisory agreement, or the Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay GC Advisors an annual base management fee based on the value of our net assets as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. Under an administration agreement, or the Administration Agreement, we are provided with certain administrative services by an administrator, or the Administrator. Under the Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse the Administrator for our allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of our independent trustees) of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

 

We seek to invest at least 80% of our total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) directly or indirectly in private credit investments (loans, bonds and other credit and related instruments that are issued in private offerings or issued by private companies). If we change our 80% test, we will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ notice of such change.

 

 

(1) Capital under management is a gross measure of invested capital including leverage as of January 1, 2025.

 

74

 

 

We expect to make investments that typically will have position sizes under 1% of our portfolio, on average. We expect to selectively invest more than 1% of capital in some of our portfolio companies and generally expect that the size of our individual investments will vary proportionately with the size of our capital base, particularly during the period prior to raising sufficient capital, which could result in larger individual investments when and if our capital base increases. We may invest in companies of any size or capitalization.

 

We generally invest in securities that have been rated below investment grade by independent rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. These securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. In addition, many of our debt investments have floating interest rates that reset on a periodic basis and typically do not fully pay down principal prior to maturity, which could increase our risk of losing part or all of our investment.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, our portfolio at fair value was comprised of the following:

Total  $4,053,838    100.0%  $3,265,298    100.0%

 

One stop loans include loans to technology companies undergoing strong growth due to new services, increased adoption and/or entry into new markets. We refer to loans to these companies as recurring revenue loans. Other targeted characteristics of recurring revenue businesses include strong customer revenue retention rates, a diversified customer base and backing from growth equity or venture capital firms. In some cases, the borrower’s high revenue growth is supported by a high level of discretionary spending. As part of the underwriting of such loans and consistent with industry practice, we adjust our characterization of the earnings of such borrowers for a reduction or elimination of such discretionary expenses, if appropriate. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, one stop loans included $360.1 million and $257.8 million, respectively, of recurring revenue loans at fair value.

 

Senior secured loans include broadly syndicated loans where we do not act as lead arranger, joint lead arranger or co-manager (“BSL loans”). As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, senior secured loans included $760.1 million and $667.3 million, respectively, of BSL loans at fair value.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we had debt and equity investments in 270 and 249 portfolio companies, respectively.

 

The following table shows the weighted average annualized income yield and weighted average annualized investment income yield of our earning portfolio company investments and the weighted average annualized income yield and weighted average annualized investment income yield of our total portfolio company investments for the three months ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Revenues: We generate revenue in the form of interest and fee income on debt investments and capital gains and distributions, if any, on portfolio company investments that we originate or acquire. Our debt investments, whether in the form of senior secured, one stop, second lien or subordinated loans, typically have a term of three to seven years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. In some cases, our investments provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of loans and any accrued but unpaid interest generally become due at the maturity date.

 

In addition, we generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, administrative agent fees and consulting fees. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans as fee income. For additional details on revenues, see “Critical Accounting Estimates—Revenue Recognition.” We recognize realized gains or losses on investments based on the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of the investment or derivative instrument, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We record current period changes in fair value of investments and derivative instruments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment transactions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Expenses: Our primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to GC Advisors under the Investment Advisory Agreement and interest expense on our outstanding debt. We bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions including:

 

·organizational expenses;

·calculating our NAV and net offering price (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);

·fees and expenses incurred by GC Advisors payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, in monitoring financial and legal affairs for us and in monitoring our investments and performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies or otherwise relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments, which fees and expenses include, among other items, due diligence reports, appraisal reports, any studies commissioned by GC Advisors and travel and lodging expenses;

·interest payable on debt, if any, incurred by us to finance its investments and expenses related to unsuccessful portfolio acquisition efforts;

·offerings of our Common Shares or other securities, including any public or private offering of our Common Shares;

·investment advisory fees, including management fees and incentive fees;

·administration fees and expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (including payments based upon our allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, fees and expenses associated with performing compliance

  functions and the allocable portion of the cost of our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs);
·fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments in portfolio companies, including costs associated with meeting financial sponsors;

·fees payable to transaction/brokerage platforms;

·subscription processing fees and expenses;

·reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses of participating broker-dealers supported by detailed and itemized invoices;

·fees incurred by us for transfer agent, dividend agent and custodial fees and expenses;

·fees and expenses payable under any managing dealer and selected dealer agreements, if any;

·all costs of registration and listing of our securities on any securities exchange, if applicable;

·U.S. federal and state registration and franchise fees;

·U.S. federal, state and local taxes;

·independent trustees’ fees and expenses;

·costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents required by the SEC, state securities regulators or other regulators;

·costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to shareholders, including printing costs;

·costs associated with individual or group shareholders;

·costs of registration rights granted to certain investors;

·costs associated with compliance under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

·our allocable portion of any fidelity bond, trustees and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;

·direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone, copying, secretarial and other staff, independent auditors and outside legal costs;

·costs and expenses, including travel, meals, accommodations, entertainment and other similar expenses, incurred by GC Advisors or its affiliates for meetings with existing investors and any intermediaries, registered investment advisors, financial and other advisors representing such existing investors;

·proxy voting expenses; and

·all other expenses incurred by us or the Administrator in connection with administering our business.

 

We have entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Support Agreement”) with GC Advisors. Under the Expense Support Agreement, GC Advisors may elect to pay certain expenses on our behalf (each, an “Expense Support Payment”), provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any of our interest expense or distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees. Refer to Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements for further details on the Expense Support Agreement.

 

We expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable or decline as a percentage of total assets during periods of asset growth and to increase during periods of asset declines.

 

GC Advisors, as collateral manager for our indirect, wholly owned, consolidated subsidiary, Golub Capital Private Credit Fund CLO LLC, or the 2023 Issuer, under a collateral management agreement, or the 2023 Collateral Management Agreement, is entitled to receive an annual fee in an amount equal to 0.35% of the principal balance of the portfolio loans held by the 2023 Issuer at the beginning of the collection period relating to each payment date, which is payable in arrears on each payment date. Under the 2023 Collateral Management Agreement, the term

 

77

 

 

“collection period” relating to any payment date, refers to the period commencing on the tenth business day prior to the preceding payment date and ending on (but excluding) the tenth business day prior to such payment date.

 

Collateral management fees are paid directly by the 2023 Issuer to GC Advisors and are offset against the management fees payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The 2023 Issuer, formerly the CLO Vehicle, paid SG Americas Securities, LLC structuring and placement fees for its services in connection with the structuring of the 2023 Debt Securitization. Term debt securitizations are also known as CLOs, and are a form of secured financing incurred by us, which are consolidated by us and subject to our overall asset coverage requirement. The 2023 Issuer also agreed to pay ongoing administrative expenses to the trustee, collateral manager, independent accountants, legal counsel, rating agencies and independent managers in connection with developing and maintaining reports, and providing required services in connection with the administration of the 2023 Debt Securitization.

 

We believe that these administrative expenses approximate the amount of ongoing fees and expenses that we would be required to pay in connection with a traditional secured credit facility. Our common shareholders indirectly bear all of these expenses.

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

In addition to our analysis of the year-to-date reporting period compared to the year-to-date prior period, we are presenting our analysis for the reporting quarter compared to the immediately preceding quarter as we believe this comparison will provide a more meaningful analysis of our business as our results are largely driven by market changes, not seasonal business activity.

 

Consolidated operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

Average earning preferred equity investments, at fair value  $3,391   $1,100   $   $2,291   $3,391 

 

Net income can vary substantially from period to period for various reasons, including the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. In addition, as we have continued to raise and deploy capital, we have experienced significant growth in total assets, total liabilities and net assets. As a result, quarterly and year-to-date comparisons of operating results may not be meaningful.

 

Investment Income

 

Investment income increased from the three months ended September 30, 2024 to the three months ended December 31, 2024 by $11.8 million, primarily due to an increase in interest and PIK interest income due to an increase in the average earning debt investments balance of $723.2 million that was partially offset by (i) declining interest base rates and, to a lesser extent, moderating spreads on new originations and (ii) reduced discount amortization acceleration from investment repayments as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Investment income increased from the three months ended December 31, 2023 to the three months ended December 31, 2024 by $53.5 million, primarily due to an increase in interest and PIK interest income due to an increase in the average earning debt investments balance of $2,212.7 million that was partially offset by declining interest base rates and, to a lesser extent, moderating spreads on new originations.

 

79

 

 

The annualized income yield by debt security type for the three months ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

 

   Three months ended 
   December 31, 2024   September 30, 2024   December 31, 2023 
Senior secured   8.6%   9.6%   10.2%
One stop   10.5%   11.2%   11.8%
Second lien   13.0%   14.0%   %
Subordinated debt   11.1%   12.1%   14.0%

 

The income yield on senior secured and one stop loans decreased for the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to declining interest base rates and, to a lesser extent, moderating spreads on new originations during the second half of calendar year 2024. Our loan portfolio is partially insulated from a drop in floating interest rates as 95.2% of our loan portfolio at fair value as of December 31, 2024 is subject to an interest rate floor. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the weighted average base floor of our loans was 0.65% and 0.67%, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2024, we have second lien investments in two portfolio companies and subordinated debt investments in three portfolio companies as shown in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Due to the limited number of second lien and subordinated debt investments, income yields on second lien and subordinated debt investments can be significantly impacted by the addition, subtraction or refinancing of one investment.

Interest Expense

 

Interest and other debt financing expenses, including amortization of debt issuance costs, increased by $10.3 million from the three months ended September 30, 2024 to the three months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to (i) $3.2 million of net unrealized losses related to the fair value hedge of the interest rate swaps on the 2027 and 2029 Notes recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to $1.9 million of unrealized gains related to the fair value hedge of the interest rate swaps on the 2027 and 2029 Notes recognized during the three

 

80

 

 

months ended September 30, 2024 and (ii) increased interest expense due to an increase in average debt outstanding of $342.3 million. Interest and other debt financing expenses, including amortization of debt issuance costs, increased by $22.2 million from the three months ended December 31, 2023 to the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to (i) $3.2 million of net unrealized losses related to the fair value hedge of the interest rate swaps on the 2027 and 2029 Notes recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and (ii) increased interest expense due to an increase in average debt outstanding of $1,022.3 million. For more information about our outstanding borrowings for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, including the terms thereof, see “Note 7. Borrowings” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the effective annualized average interest rate, which includes amortization of debt financing costs, non-usage facility fees and the net contractual interest rate swap expense on the 2027 Notes and 2029 Notes but excluding the net gain/(loss) related to the fair value hedges associated with the 2027 Notes and 2029 Notes, on our total debt was 7.7%, 8.1% and 8.1%, respectively.

 

The effective average interest rate decreased from both the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to declining interest base interest rates on our borrowings.

 

Management Fees

 

The base management fee increased as a result of an increase in average gross assets for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to the three months ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended December 31, 2023 to the three months ended December 31, 2024.

 

Incentive Fees

 

The incentive fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement consists of two parts: (1) the income component, or the Income Incentive Fee, and (2) the capital gains component, or the Capital Gain Incentive Fee.

 

The Income Incentive Fee was relatively flat for the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The Income Incentive Fee increased by $3.1 million from the three months ended December 31, 2023 to the three months ended December 31, 2024 primarily as a result of an increase in Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income and a greater rate of return on the value of our net assets primarily driven by the increase in the average earning debt investments balance of $2.2 billion. For each of the three months ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we were fully through the catch-up provision of the Income Incentive Fee calculation and the Income Incentive Fee, as a percentage of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, was 12.5%.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, there was no Capital Gain Incentive Fee payable as calculated under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In accordance with GAAP, we are required to include the aggregate unrealized capital appreciation on investments in the calculation and accrue a capital gain incentive fee as if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the Capital Gain Incentive Fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, there was $2.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of capital gain incentive fee accrual under GAAP included in management and incentive fees payable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. For three months ended December 31, 2024, the accrual of capital gain incentive fee under GAAP of $1.3 million was primarily due to $10.1 million of net unrealized and realized gains recognized during the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the accrual of capital gain incentive fee under GAAP of $0.1 million was primarily due to $0.5 million of net unrealized and realized gains recognized during the period. There was no accrual of capital gain incentive fee under GAAP for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

 

81

 

 

Any payment due under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement is calculated in arrears at the end of each calendar year. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, no Capital Gain Incentive Fees have been payable as calculated under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

Professional Fees, Administrative Service Fee, and General and Administrative Expenses

 

In general, we expect certain of our operating expenses, including professional fees, the administrative service fee, and other general and administrative expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets during periods of growth and increase as a percentage of our total assets during periods of asset declines.

 

In total, professional fees, the administrative service fee, and general and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million from the three months ended September 30, 2024 to the three months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to higher professional fees.

 

In total, professional fees, the administrative service fee, and general and administrative expenses increased by $2.5 million from the three months ended December 31, 2023 to the three months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to higher professional fees and administrative expenses associated with servicing a growing portfolio.

 

The Administrator pays for certain expenses incurred by us. These expenses are subsequently reimbursed in cash. Total expenses reimbursed to the Administrator during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 were $2.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively. There were no expenses reimbursed to the Administrator during the three months ended December 31, 2023.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, included in accounts payable and other liabilities were $4.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively (which includes $1.0 million of unreimbursed Expense Support Payments as both December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024), of expenses paid on behalf of us by the Administrator.

 

Net Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses

Net realized gain (loss) on sale/extinguishment of debt  $   $1,274   $   $(1,274)  $ 

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we had a net realized loss of $0.6 million primarily driven by a net realized loss on the translation of foreign currency amounts and transactions into U.S. dollars. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net realized loss of $5.6 million primarily driven by a realized loss recognized on the restructure of a portfolio company investment that was partially offset by $0.5 million of net realized gains recognized on the translation of foreign currency amounts and transactions into U.S. dollars. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we had a net realized gain in an amount less than $0.1 million primarily driven by realized gains on the translation of foreign currency amounts and transactions into U.S. dollars, which was partially offset by a realized loss on the partial sale of a BSL loan.

 

82

 

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, we had $16.1 million in unrealized appreciation on 149 portfolio company investments, which was offset by $5.1 million in unrealized depreciation on 129 portfolio company investments. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had $13.1 million in unrealized appreciation on 91 portfolio company investments, which was offset by $8.0 million in unrealized depreciation on 183 portfolio company investments. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we had $3.9 million in unrealized appreciation on 104 portfolio company investments, which was offset by $3.7 million in unrealized depreciation on 73 portfolio company investments.

 

Unrealized appreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2024 primarily resulted from fair valuing recent originations up to or near par and solid borrower credit trends across our portfolio. Unrealized appreciation for the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily resulted from the reversal of unrealized depreciation on the restructuring of a portfolio company investment and improved performance of certain portfolio companies. Unrealized appreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2023 primarily resulted from the improved performance of certain portfolio companies and the reversal of unrealized depreciation due to spread tightening in the market during the second half of calendar year 2023.

 

Unrealized depreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 primarily resulted from amortization of discounts on originated loans during the year and isolated deterioration in the credit performance of certain portfolio companies. Unrealized depreciation for the three months ended December 31, 2023 primarily resulted from the amortization of discounts during the quarter on recently originated loans and isolated deterioration in the credit performance of certain portfolio companies.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a realized gain on the sale of debt of $1.3 million, which represents the gain on sale of the previously retained 2023 Debt Securitization Class A-2 Notes to a third party.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents, foreign currencies and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $106.6 million. During the period, cash used in operating activities was $826.2 million, primarily as a result of purchases and fundings of portfolio investments of $878.6 million, partially offset by proceeds from principal payments and sales of portfolio investments of $93.6 million. During the same period, cash provided by financing activities was $719.6 million, primarily driven by borrowings on debt of $462.3 million and proceeds from the issuance of common shares of $305.2 million, that were partially offset by distributions paid of $29.5 million.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents, foreign currencies and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $7.7 million. During the period, cash used in operating activities was $199.5 million, primarily as a result of purchases and fundings of portfolio investments of $256.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from principal payments of $35.7 million. During the same period, cash provided by financing activities was $207.2 million, primarily driven by borrowings on debt of $194.3 million and proceeds from the issuance of common shares of $29.9 million, that were partially offset by repayments of debt of $3.5 million and distributions paid of $12.1 million.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $52.9 million and $170.6 million, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we had foreign currencies of $2.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $27.1 million and $16.4 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents and foreign currencies are available to fund new investments, pay operating expenses and pay distributions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents can be used to pay principal and interest on borrowings and to fund new investments that meet the guidelines under our debt securitizations or credit facilities, as applicable.

 

Revolving Debt Facilities

 

SMBC Credit Facility - On September 6, 2023, we entered into the SMBC Credit Facility, which, as of December 31, 2024, allowed us to borrow up to $1,240.0 million at any one time outstanding, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we had outstanding debt under the

SMBC Credit Facility of $672.6 million and $223.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, we had $567.4 million and $891.1 million, respectively, of remaining commitments and $567.4 million and $677.2 million, respectively, of availability on the SMBC Credit Facility.

 

Adviser Revolver - On July 3, 2023, we entered into the Adviser Revolver (as defined in “Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions” of our consolidated financial statements) with GC Advisors. As of December 31, 2024, we were permitted to borrow up to $300.0 million at any one time outstanding under the Adviser Revolver. We entered into the Adviser Revolver in order to have the ability to borrow funds on a short-term basis and generally intend to repay borrowings under the Adviser Revolver within 30 to 45 days from which they are drawn. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we had no amounts outstanding under the Adviser Revolver.

 

Debt Securitizations

 

2023 Debt Securitization - On September 21, 2023, we completed the 2023 Debt Securitization. On September 9, 2024, we sold the previously retained Class A-2 Notes to a third party. The Class A-1 and Class A-2 Notes are included in the December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as our debt. The Subordinated 2023 Notes were eliminated in consolidation. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we had outstanding debt under the 2023 Debt Securitization of $433.0 million and $432.9 million, respectively.

 

2027 Notes

 

On May 22, 2024, we entered into a master note purchase agreement governing the issuance of the 2027 Notes. Each of the Tranche A Notes, Tranche B Notes and Tranche C Notes remained outstanding as our debt as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

 

On May 8, 2024, we entered into interest rate swaps on the 2027 Notes pursuant to which we agreed to (i) receive a fixed interest rate of 7.12% and (ii) pay a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR plus 2.5975% on the first $225.0 million of the Tranche A Notes and (iii) receive a fixed interest rate of 7.12% and (iv) pay a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR plus 2.644% on the second $75.0 million of the Tranche A Notes. The interest rate swap agreements were effective as of May 22, 2024. The interest rate swaps are designated as effective hedge accounting instruments. The carrying value of the 2027 Notes is inclusive of an adjustment for the change in fair value of an effective hedge accounting relationship.

 

2029 Notes

 

On May 12, 2024, we issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes, all of which remained outstanding as our debt as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

 

On September 5, 2024, we entered into interest rate swaps on the 2029 Notes pursuant to which we agreed to (i) receive a fixed interest rate of 6.046% and (ii) pay a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR plus 2.7875% on the first $350.0 million of the 2029 Notes and (iii) receive a fixed interest rate of 6.046% and (iv) pay a floating interest rate of three-month Term SOFR plus 2.770% on the second $150.0 million of the 2029 Notes. The interest rate swap agreements were effective as of September 12, 2024. The interest rate swaps are designated as effective hedge accounting instruments. The carrying value of the 2029 Notes is inclusive of an adjustment for the change in fair value of an effective hedge accounting relationship.

Asset Coverage, Contractual Obligations, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Liquidity Considerations

 

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are currently allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. On May 17, 2023, our sole shareholder approved the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements of Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act and declined an offer by us to repurchase all our outstanding common shares. As a result of such approval, effective as of May 18, 2023, our asset coverage requirement was reduced from 200% to 150%, or a ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness of 2:1 as compared to a maximum of 1:1 under the 200% asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act. We currently intend to target a GAAP debt-to-equity ratio between 0.85x to 1.25x. As of December 31, 2024, our asset coverage for borrowed amounts and GAAP debt-to-equity ratio was 200.6% and 0.99x, respectively, and our GAAP debt-to-equity ratio, net, which reduces total debt by cash and cash equivalents, foreign currencies and restricted cash held for partial repayment on notes of certain of our securitization vehicles past their reinvestment period term (if any) was 0.96x as of December 31, 2024.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $898.1 million and $676.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, total commitments of $898.1 million included $233.3 million of unfunded commitments on revolvers. There is no guarantee that these amounts will be funded to the borrowing party now or in the future. The unfunded commitments relate to loans with various maturity dates, but the entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers as of December 31, 2024, subject to the terms of each loan’s respective credit agreement. A summary of maturity requirements for our principal borrowings as of December 31, 2024 is included in “Note 7. Borrowings” of our consolidated financial statements. We did not have any other material contractual payment obligations as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we believe that we had sufficient assets and liquidity to adequately cover future obligations under our unfunded commitments based on the cash balances that we maintain, availability under our SMBC Facility and Adviser Revolver, ongoing principal repayments on debt investment assets.

 

In addition, we have entered and, in the future, may again enter into derivative instruments that contain elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. Refer to Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements for outstanding derivatives as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024. Derivative instruments can be affected by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, which could impact the fair value of the derivative instruments. If market conditions move against us, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the derivative instruments and could realize a loss. We minimize market risk through monitoring its investments and borrowings.

 

Although we expect to fund the growth of our investment portfolio through the net proceeds from future securities offerings and future borrowings, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, we cannot assure you that our efforts to raise capital will be successful. In addition, from time to time, we can amend, refinance, or enter into new leverage facilities and securitization financings, to the extent permitted by applicable law. In addition to capital not being available, it also could not be available on favorable terms. To the extent we are not able to raise capital on what we believe are favorable terms, we will focus on optimizing returns by investing capital generated from repayments into new investments we believe are attractive from a risk/reward perspective. Furthermore, to the extent we are not able to raise capital and are at or near our targeted leverage ratios, we expect to receive smaller allocations, if any, on new investment opportunities under GC Advisors’ allocation policy and have, in the past, received such smaller allocations under similar circumstances.

Portfolio Composition, Investment Activity and Yield

 

As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we had investments in 270 and 249 portfolio companies, respectively, with a total fair value of $4,053.8 million and $3,265.3 million, respectively.

Weighted average fees of new investment fundings   0.9%   0.9%   1.3%
Weighted average rate of sales and payoffs of portfolio investments   11.1%   10.6%   9.3%

 

As of December 31, 2024, 95.2% of our debt portfolio at both amortized cost and fair value had interest rate floors that limit the minimum applicable interest rates on such loans. As of September 30, 2024, 96.1% and 96.0% of our debt portfolio at amortized cost and at fair value, respectively, had interest rate floors that limit the minimum applicable interest rates on such loans.

 

As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the portfolio median1 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, for our portfolio companies was $81.4 million and $75.5 million, respectively. The portfolio median EBITDA is based on the most recently reported trailing twelve-month EBITDA received from the portfolio company.

 

As part of the monitoring process, GC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and rates each of them based on an internal system developed by Golub Capital and its affiliates. This system is not generally accepted in our industry or used by our competitors. It is based on the following categories, which we refer to as GC Advisors’ internal performance ratings:

 

Internal Performance Ratings
Rating   Definition
5   Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The borrower is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.
     
4   Involves an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination. The borrower is generally performing as expected, and the risk factors are neutral to favorable.
     
3   Involves a borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased somewhat since origination. The borrower could be out of compliance with debt covenants; however, loan payments are generally not past due.
     
2   Involves a borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments could be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).
     
1   Involves a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Loans rated 1 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.

 

Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments.

 

For any investment rated 1, 2 or 3, GC Advisors will increase its monitoring intensity and prepare regular updates for the investment committee, summarizing current operating results and material impending events and suggesting recommended actions.

 

 

1 The portfolio median EBITDA is based on our portfolio of debt investments and excludes (i) portfolio companies with negative or de minimis EBITDA, (ii) investments designated as recurring revenue loans and broadly syndicated loans and (iii) portfolio companies with any loans on non-accrual status.

 

87

 

 

GC Advisors monitors and, when appropriate, changes the internal performance ratings assigned to each investment in our portfolio. In connection with our valuation process, GC Advisors and our board of trustees review these internal performance ratings on a quarterly basis.

 

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5 internal performance rating scale at fair value as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024:

Distributions

 

We have made and intend to make periodic regular and variable special distributions to our shareholders as determined by our board of trustees. As a result, our distribution rates and payment frequency may vary from time to time and are not guaranteed. There is no assurance we will pay distributions in any particular amount, if at all. For additional details on distributions, see “Income taxes” in “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Updates” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

 

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 our distributions from time to time. In addition, the asset coverage requirements applicable to us as a business development company under the 1940 Act could limit our ability to make distributions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including the possible loss of our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. We cannot assure shareholders that they will receive any distributions.

 

Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations can differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences are permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified within capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. For example, permanent differences in classification result from the treatment of distributions paid from short-term gains as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

 

88

 

 

To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any tax year, a portion of those distributions could be deemed a return of capital to our shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, the source of a distribution to our shareholders could be the original capital invested by the shareholder rather than our income or gains. Shareholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our ordinary income or gains.

 

We have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common shareholders. As a result, if we declare a distribution, our shareholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Common Shares unless a shareholder specifically “opts out” of our dividend reinvestment plan. If a shareholder opts out, that shareholder will receive cash distributions. Although distributions paid in the form of additional Common Shares will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, shareholders participating in our dividend reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

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

 

·We entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with GC Advisors. Mr. David Golub, our chief executive officer, is a manager of GC Advisors and owns an indirect pecuniary interest in GC Advisors.

 

·Golub Capital LLC provides us with the office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct day-to-day operations pursuant to our Administration Agreement.

 

·We have entered into a license agreement with Golub Capital LLC, pursuant to which Golub Capital LLC has granted us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Golub Capital.”

 

·Under a staffing agreement, or the Staffing Agreement, Golub Capital LLC has agreed to provide GC Advisors with the resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Staffing Agreement provides that Golub Capital LLC will make available to GC Advisors experienced investment professionals and provide access to the senior investment personnel of Golub Capital LLC for purposes of evaluating, negotiating, structuring, closing and monitoring our investments. The Staffing Agreement also includes a commitment that the members of GC Advisors’ investment committee will serve in such capacity. Services under the Staffing Agreement are provided on a direct cost reimbursement basis. We are not a party to the Staffing Agreement.

 

·We entered into the Expense Support Agreement with GC Advisors, pursuant to which GC Advisors may elect to pay certain expenses on our behalf, provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any interest or any of our distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees.

 

·GC Advisors serves as collateral manager to the 2023 Issuer under the 2023 Collateral Management Agreement. Fees payable to GC Advisors for providing these services offset against the base management fee payable by us under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

 

·On July 3, 2023, we entered into the Adviser Revolver with GC Advisors in order to have the ability to borrow funds on a short-term basis. As of December 31, 2024, we were permitted to borrow up to $300.0 million at any one time outstanding under the Adviser Revolver.

 

·On April 27, 2023, an affiliate of GC Advisors purchased 2,000 shares of our Class F Shares of beneficial interest at $25.00 per share.

 

·On July 1, 2023, we entered into the Share Purchase and Sale Agreement, with GCP HS Fund, GCP CLO Holdings Sub LP, and GC Advisors, in which we acquired all of the assets and liabilities (“Seed Assets”) of the CLO Vehicle through the purchase of 100% of the beneficial interests in, and 100% of the subordinated notes issued by the CLO Vehicle. The Seed Assets consisted of loans to 80 borrowers, cash and other assets.

 

·On May 1, 2024, an affiliate of the Investment Adviser indirectly purchased $9.9 million of Class I Shares through its ownership of a feeder vehicle.

 

89

 

 

GC Advisors also sponsors or manages, and expects in the future to sponsor or manage, other investment funds, accounts or investment vehicles (together referred to as “accounts”) that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. For example, GC Advisors presently serves as the investment adviser to Golub Capital BDC, Inc., or GBDC, a publicly-traded business development company (Nasdaq: GBDC), Golub Capital Direct Lending Corporation, or GDLC, Golub Capital Direct Lending Unlevered Corporation, or GDLCU, and Golub Capital BDC 4, Inc., or GBDC 4, which are business development companies that primarily focus on investing in one stop and other senior secured loans. In addition, our officers and trustees serve in similar capacities for GBDC, GDLC, GDLCU and GBDC 4. If GC Advisors and its affiliates determine that an investment is appropriate for us, GBDC, GDLC, GDLCU, GBDC 4 and other accounts, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, and pursuant to GC Advisors’ allocation policy, GC Advisors or its affiliates could determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other accounts.

 

We do not intend to make any investments if they are not permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, or if they are inconsistent with GC Advisors’ allocation procedures.

 

In addition, we have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of our and GC Advisors’ officers, trustees and employees. Our officers and trustees also remain subject to the duties imposed by both the 1940 Act and Delaware law.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting estimates. For further information on our significant accounting policies, see “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Updates” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We value investments for which market quotations are readily available at their market quotations. However, a readily available market value is not expected to exist for many of the investments in our portfolio, and we value these portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith.

 

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, as recently amended, effective August 2, 2024, our board of trustees, as permitted, has designated GC Advisors as the our valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to perform the determination of fair value of our investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or valued by a third-party pricing service, in accordance with our valuation policies and procedures, subject to the oversight of the board of trustees.

 

Valuation methods include comparisons of the portfolio companies to peer companies that are public, determination of the enterprise value of a portfolio company, discounted cash flow analysis and a market interest rate approach. The factors that are taken into account in fair value pricing investments include: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables; applicable market yields and multiples; security covenants; call protection provisions; information rights; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows and the markets in which it does business; comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public; comparable merger and acquisition transactions; and the principal market and enterprise values. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Valuation Designee will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private equity valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments can differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and differ materially from values that are ultimately received or settled.

Our Valuation Designee is ultimately and solely responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value of investments that are not publicly traded, whose market prices are not readily available on a quarterly basis or any other situation where portfolio investments require a fair value determination.

 

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our Valuation Designee undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

 

Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of GC Advisors responsible for the valuation function. Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our senior management and GC Advisors. The Valuation Designee reviews these preliminary valuations. At least every other quarter, the valuation for each portfolio investment, subject to a de minimis threshold, is reviewed by an independent valuation firm. The Valuation Designee discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith.

 

Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Under current accounting standards, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our consolidated financial statements.

 

We follow ASC Topic 820 for measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the assets or liabilities or market and the assets’ or liabilities’ complexity. Our fair value analysis, currently undertaken by the Valuation Designee, includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Assets and liabilities are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3: Inputs include significant unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information available and could require significant management judgment or estimation.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value could fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is 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 we consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The Valuation Designee assesses the levels of assets and liabilities at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, certain debt investments with a fair value of $31.0 million transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and certain debt investments with a fair value of $22.9 million transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, certain debt investments with a fair value of $3.0 million transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and certain debt investments with a fair value of $4.0 million transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The transfers into or out of Level 3 were primarily due to decreased or increased transparency of the observable prices for both the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The following section describes the valuation techniques used by us to measure different assets and liabilities at fair value and includes the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the assets and liabilities are categorized.

Valuation of Investments

 

Level 1 investments are valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 investments are valued using market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee, based on input of the Valuation Designee’s personnel and independent valuation firms that have been engaged by or at the direction of the Valuation Designee to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least every other quarter under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with each portfolio investment being reviewed at least every other quarter (subject to a de minimis threshold) with approximately 50% (based on the fair value of portfolio company investments) of our valuations of debt and equity investments without readily available market quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm. As of December 31, 2024, $645.8 million and $3,408.0 million of investments were valued using Level 2 inputs and Level 3 inputs, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, $615.7 million and $2,649.6 million of investments were valued using Level 2 inputs and Level 3 inputs, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, all interest rate swaps were valued using Level 2 inputs and all money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents were valued using Level 1 inputs. As of December 31, 2024, all forward currency contracts were valued using Level 2 inputs.

 

When determining fair value of Level 3 debt and equity investments, the Valuation Designee may take into account the following factors, where relevant: the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons to publicly traded securities, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that could affect the price at which similar investments could be made and other relevant factors. The primary method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s EBITDA. A portfolio company’s EBITDA could include pro-forma adjustments for items such as acquisitions, divestitures, or expense reductions. The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments and to determine if debt investments are credit impaired. If debt investments are credit impaired, the Valuation Designee will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value. For debt investments that are not determined to be credit impaired, the Valuation Designee uses a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value.

 

In addition, for certain debt investments, the Valuation Designee could base its valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an independent third party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that we and others could be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the lowest price that we and others could be willing to accept. The Valuation Designee generally uses the midpoint of the bid/ask range as our best estimate of fair value of such investment.

 

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments could differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a market existed for such investments and could differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. 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 such investment had previously been recorded.

 

Our investments are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments are traded.

 

In connection with each sale of our Common Shares, we make a determination that we are not selling Common Shares at a price below the then-current net asset value per share of common shares at the time at which the sale is made or otherwise in violation of the 1940 Act. GC Advisors will consider the following factors, among others, in making such determination:

 

92

 

 

·The net asset value of our Common Shares disclosed in the most recent periodic report filed with the SEC;

 

·Its assessment of whether any change in the net asset value per share of our Common Shares has occurred (including through the realization of gains on the sale of portfolio securities) during the period beginning on the date of the most recently disclosed net asset value per share of our Common Shares and ending on the date on which the offering price for such month is determined; and

 

·The magnitude of the difference between the sale price of the shares of commons shares and management’s assessment of any change in the net asset value per share of our Common Shares during the period discussed above.

 

Valuation of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

The fair value of the 2029 Notes is based on vendor pricing received by the Company, which is considered a Level 2 input. The fair value of our remaining debt is estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting remaining payments using comparable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date, if available.

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

Our revenue recognition policies are as follows:

 

Investments and Related Investment Income: Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual interest terms of debt investments. Original issue discount, market discount or premium and certain loan origination or amendment fees that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield (“Loan Origination Fees”) are capitalized and we accrete or amortize such amounts over the life of the loan as interest income (“Discount Amortization”). For investments with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we do not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not likely to be collectible. In addition, we could generate revenue in the form of amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, administrative agent fees, consulting fees and prepayment premiums on loans that are not deemed to be an adjustment to yield and record these fees as fee income when earned. Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. We have certain preferred equity securities in our portfolio that contain a PIK dividend provision that are accrued and recorded as income at the contractual rates, if deemed collectible. The accrued PIK and non-cash dividends are capitalized to the cost basis of the preferred equity security and are generally collected when redeemed by the issuer. 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. Distributions received from limited liability company, or LLC, and limited partnership, or LP, investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, we will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

 

We account for investment transactions on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We report changes in fair value of investments from the prior period that is measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment transactions in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and fluctuations arising from the translation of foreign exchange rates on investments in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Non-accrual loans: Loans may be left on accrual status while we are pursuing repayment of the loan. Management reviews all loans that become past due 90 days or more on principal and interest or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected for possible placement on non-accrual status. We generally reverse accrued interest when a loan is placed on non-accrual. 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.

 

93

 

 

We restore non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in our management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we had no portfolio company investments on non-accrual status.

 

Income taxes: We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to be subject to tax as a RIC, we are required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements, as well as timely distribute to our shareholders dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, for each tax year. We have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our shareholders, which will generally relieve us from U.S. federal income taxes on amounts distributed.

 

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions and would distribute such taxable income in the next tax year. We could then be required to incur a 4% excise tax on such income. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar year basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, we accrue excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, we did not record any U.S. federal excise tax. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an amount less than $0.1 million for U.S. federal excise tax.

 

Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations could differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences could be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified within capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. For example, permanent differences in classification could result from the treatment of distributions paid from short-term gains as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

We are subject to financial market risks, including valuation risk and changes in interest rates.

 

Valuation Risk. Most of our investments will not have a readily available market price. To ensure accurate valuations, our investments are valued at fair value in good faith by the Investment Adviser, as our Valuation Designee, subject to the oversight of our board of trustees based on, among other things, the input of independent third-party valuation firms engaged at the direction of the Valuation Designee, and in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the investments we hold. 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 could fluctuate from period to period, 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.

 

Interest Rate Risk. Many of the loans in our portfolio have floating interest rates, and we expect that our loans in the future could also have floating interest rates. These loans are usually based on floating SOFR or another base rate and typically have interest rate reset provisions that adjust applicable interest rates under such loans to current market rates on a daily, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The loans that are subject to floating SOFR or another base rate are also typically subject to a minimum base rate, or floor, that we charge on our loans if the current market rates are below the respective floors. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the weighted average floor on loans subject to floating interest rates was 0.65% and 0.67%, respectively. The SMBC Credit Facility has a floating interest rate provision primarily based on an applicable base rate (as defined in “Note 7. Borrowings” of our consolidated financial statements), the Adviser Revolver has a floating interest rate provision equal to the short-term Applicable Federal Rate, the Class A-1 Notes and Class A-2 Notes issued in connection with the 2023 Debt Securitization have floating rate interest provisions based on three-month term SOFR and the Tranche B Notes and Tranche C Notes have floating rate interest provisions based on SOFR and EURIBOR, respectively. We have entered into two interest rate swaps on the Tranche A Notes which have floating rate provisions based on three-month SOFR plus a spread of 2.5975% and three-month SOFR plus a spread of 2.644%. We have entered into

 

94

 

 

two interest rate swaps on the 2029 Notes which have floating rate provisions based on three-month SOFR plus a spread of 2.7875% and three-month SOFR plus a spread of 2.770%. We expect that other credit facilities into which we enter in the future could have floating interest rate provisions.

 

Assuming that the unaudited interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2024 were to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter interest rate sensitivity as of such date, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates:

 

Change in interest rates   Increase (decrease) in
interest income(1)
    Increase (decrease) in
interest expense
    Net increase
(decrease) in
investment income
 
                   
    (In thousands)  
Down 200 basis points   $ (80,454 )   $ (38,112 )   $ (42,342 )
Down 150 basis points     (60,420 )     (28,584 )     (31,836 )
Down 100 basis points     (40,280 )     (19,056 )     (21,224 )
Down 50 basis points     (20,140 )     (9,528 )     (10,612 )
Up 50 basis points     20,140       9,528       10,612  
Up 100 basis points     40,280       19,056       21,224  
Up 150 basis points     60,420       28,584       31,836  
Up 200 basis points     80,560       38,112       42,448  

 

 

(1) Assumes applicable three-month base rate as of December 31, 2024, with the exception of SONIA and Prime that utilize the December 31, 2024 rate.

 

Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes as of December 31, 2024, it does not adjust for changes in the credit market, credit quality, the size and composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments, including borrowings under the SMBC Credit Facility, the Adviser Revolver, the 2023 Debt Securitization, or other borrowings, that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, we can offer no assurances that actual results would not differ materially from the analysis above.

 

We have and, in the future, could hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps, futures, options and forward contracts to the limited extent permitted under the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities could insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they could also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

As of December 31, 2024 (the end of the period covered by this report), management, with the participation of 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) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that, at the end of such period, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

 

There has not been any change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
