This report is provided for informational purposes only, does not constitute an offer to sell securities of the Company or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any such securities, and is not a prospectus. From time to time, the Company may have a registration statement relating to one or more of its securities on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Any registration statement that has not yet been declared effective by the SEC, and any prospectus relating thereto, is not complete and may be changed. Any securities that are the subject of such a registration statement may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the SEC is effective.

 

The information and its contents are the property of Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and/or the Company. Any unauthorized dissemination, copying or use of this presentation is strictly prohibited and may be in violation of law. This presentation is being provided for informational purposes only.

 

Investors should read the Company’s prospectus and SEC filings (which are publicly available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov) carefully and consider their investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance before investing in the Company.

There is no guarantee that any of the goals, targets or objectives described in this report will be achieved.

 

An investment in the Company is not appropriate for all investors. The investment program of the Company is speculative, entails substantial risk and includes investment techniques not employed by traditional mutual funds. An investment in the Company is not intended to be a complete investment program. Shares of closed-end investment companies, such as the Company, frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value (“NAV”), which may increase investors’ risk of loss. Past performance is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance. The performance and certain other portfolio information quoted herein represents information as of March 31, 2024. Nothing herein shall be relied upon as a representation as to the future performance or portfolio holdings of the Company. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Company’s performance is subject to change since the end of the period noted in this report and may be lower or higher than the performance data shown herein.

 

Neither the Adviser nor the Company provides legal, accounting or tax advice. Any statement regarding such matters is explanatory and may not be relied upon as definitive advice. Investors should consult with their legal, accounting and tax advisers regarding any potential investment. The information presented herein is as of the dates noted and is derived from financial and other information of the Company, and, in certain cases, from third party sources and reports (including reports of third party custodians, CLO collateral managers and trustees) that have not been independently verified by the Company. As noted herein, certain of this information is estimated and unaudited, and therefore subject to change. The Company does not represent that such information is accurate or complete, and it should not be relied upon as such. This report does not purport to be complete and no obligation to update or revise any information herein is being assumed.

(1)   Unless otherwise noted, the Company is not affiliated with, nor does it "control" (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")), any of the issuers listed. In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to "control" an issuer if it owned 25% or more of its voting securities.
(2)   Acquisition date represents the initial date of purchase or the date the investment was contributed to the Company at the time of the Company's formation.
(3)   Fair value is determined by the Adviser in accordance with written valuation policies and procedures, subject to oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors, in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act.
(4)   Securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, and are deemed to be “restricted securities”. As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate fair value of these securities is $990.1 million, or 126.66% of the Company's net assets. 
(5)   Country represents the principal country of risk where the investment has exposure.
(6)   Variable rate investment.  Interest rate shown reflects the rate in effect at the reporting date.  Investment description includes the reference rate and spread.
(7)   As of March 31, 2024, the investment includes interest income capitalized as additional investment principal, referred to as "PIK" interest.  The PIK interest rate represents the interest rate at payment date when PIK interest is received. See Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion.
(8)   CLO equity and CFO equity are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of payments made by underlying assets less contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses. The effective yield is estimated based on the current projection of the amount and timing of these recurring distributions in addition to the estimated amount of terminal principal payment. The effective yield and investment cost may ultimately not be realized. As of March 31, 2024, the Company's weighted average effective yield on its aggregate CLO equity positions, based on current amortized cost, was 16.40%.  When excluding called CLOs, the Company's weighted average effective yield on its CLO equity positions was 16.43%.

(12)   As of March 31, 2024, the effective yield has been estimated to be 0%. The aggregate projected amount of future recurring distributions and terminal principal payment is less than the amortized investment cost. Future recurring distributions, once received, will be recognized solely as return of capital until the aggregate projected amount of future recurring distributions and terminal principal payment exceeds the amortized  investment cost.
(13)   Investment principal amount is denominated in EUR.

1.ORGANIZATION

 

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s primary investment objective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. The Company seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) that are collateralized by a portfolio consisting primarily of below investment grade U.S. senior secured loans with a large number of distinct underlying borrowers across various industry sectors. The Company may also invest in other related securities and instruments or other securities and instruments that Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (the “Adviser”) believes are consistent with the Company’s investment objectives, including senior debt tranches of CLOs, loan accumulation facilities (“LAFs”) and securities and instruments of corporate issuers. From time to time, in connection with the acquisition of CLO equity, the Company may receive fee rebates from the CLO issuer. The CLO securities in which the Company primarily seeks to invest are unrated or rated below investment grade and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.

 

The Company was initially formed on March 24, 2014 and commenced operations on June 6, 2014. On October 7, 2014, the Company priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and on October 8, 2014, the Company’s shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “ECC”.

 

The Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for federal income tax purposes.

 

The Adviser is the investment adviser of the Company and manages the investments of the Company subject to the supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Eagle Point Administration LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser, is the administrator of the Company (the “Administrator”).

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries- Eagle Point Credit Company Sub (Cayman) Ltd. (“Sub I”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, Eagle Point Credit Company Sub II (Cayman) Ltd (“Sub II”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and Eagle Point Credit Company Sub II (US) LLC (“Sub II US”), a Delaware limited liability company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. As of March 31, 2024, Sub I, Sub II and Sub II US represent 52.3%, 2.7% and 0.8% of the Company’s net assets, respectively.

 

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. Items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured and presented in United States dollars.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of the reporting date. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Valuation of Investments

The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments.

 

12

 

 

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2024
(Unaudited)

 

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and fair values its investment portfolio in accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. Investments are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Fair value is the estimated amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).

 

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act adopted by the SEC in December 2020 (“Rule 2a-5”), the Board has elected to designate the Adviser as “valuation designee” to perform fair value determinations, subject to Board oversight and certain other conditions. In the absence of readily available market quotations, as defined by Rule 2a-5, the Adviser determines the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with its written valuation policy approved by the Board. There is no single method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments held by the Company. Due to the uncertainty of valuation, this estimate may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

 

The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments:

 

·Level I – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company is able to access as of the reporting date.

 

·Level II – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level I, that are observable either directly or indirectly as of the reporting date. These inputs may include (a) quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset, or (d) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

·Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and little, if any, active market exists as of the reporting date. Fair value inputs require significant judgment or estimation from the Adviser.

 

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

 

Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Investments with readily available actively quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market, will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

 

Investments for which observable, quoted prices in active markets do not exist are reported at fair value based on Level III inputs. The amount determined to be fair value may incorporate the Adviser’s own assumptions (including assumptions the Adviser believes market participants would use in valuing investments and assumptions relating to appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and lack of marketability), as provided for in the Adviser’s valuation policy.

 

Joint Venture (“JV”) investments held by the Company are measured using net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient and are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy.

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

An estimate of fair value is made for each investment at least monthly taking into account information available as of the reporting date and is subject to review by the Board on a quarterly basis.

 

See Note 3 “Investments” for further discussion relating to the Company’s investments.

 

Forward Currency Contracts

The Company may enter into forward currency contracts to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign currencies in which some of the Company’s investments are denominated. A forward currency contract is an agreement between the Company and a counterparty to buy and sell a currency at an agreed-upon exchange rate and on an agreed-upon future date. Forward currency contracts are recorded at fair value and the cumulative change in fair value is reported as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency contracts on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Company records a realized gain or (loss) on the settlement of a forward currency contract with such realized gains or (losses) reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Cash amounts pledged for forward currency contracts is considered restricted.

 

Temporary Equity

The Company’s 6.75% Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) is accounted for in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as temporary equity. FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), requires preferred stock that is contingently redeemable upon an occurrence of an event outside the Company’s control to be classified as temporary equity. Deferred issuance costs on the Series D Preferred Stock consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance net of issuance premiums/(discounts), which are capitalized into temporary equity, and are amortized only when it is probable the Series D Preferred Stock will become redeemable. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is compliant with all contingent redemption provisions of the preferred offering; therefore, no deferred issuance costs have been amortized. The following table reflects Series D Preferred Stock balances as of March 31, 2024:

 

   Shares
Outstanding
   Liquidation
Preference
   Deferred
Issuance Costs
   Carrying Value 
Series D Preferred Stock   1,473,782   $36,844,550   $(3,167,627)  $33,676,923 

 

Distributions paid on the Series D Preferred Stock are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations.

 

Other Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities at Fair Value

The Fair Value Option (“FVO”) under FASB ASC Subtopic 825-10, Fair Value Option (“ASC 825”), allows companies to make an irrevocable election to use fair value as the initial and subsequent accounting measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities. The decision to elect the FVO is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis and must be applied to an entire instrument. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be reported separately from those instruments measured using another accounting method and changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk on financial liabilities for which the FVO is elected are required to be presented separately in other comprehensive income.  Additionally, upfront offering costs related to such instruments, inclusive of the costs associated with issuances under the Company’s at-the-market (“ATM”) program, are recognized in earnings as incurred and are not deferred.

 

The Company elected to account for its 6.6875% Unsecured Notes due 2028 (the “Series 2028 Notes”), 5.375% Unsecured Notes due 2029 (the “Series 2029 Notes”), 6.75% Unsecured Notes due 2031 (the “Series 2031 Notes” and collectively with the Series 2028 Notes and Series 2029 Notes, the “Unsecured Notes”), 6.50% Series C Term Preferred Stock due 2031 (the “Series C Term Preferred Stock”) and its 8.00% Series F Term Preferred Stock due 2029 (the “Series F Term Preferred Stock” and collectively with the Series C Term Preferred Stock, the “Term Preferred Stock”) utilizing the FVO under ASC 825. The primary reason for electing the FVO is to reflect economic events in the same period in which they are incurred and address simplification of reporting

and presentation.  

 

Investment Income Recognition

Interest income from investments in CLO debt, asset backed securities (“ABS”), bank debt term loans, collateralized fund obligation (“CFO”) debt, corporate bonds and regulatory capital relief securities is recorded using the accrual basis of accounting to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. Interest income on such investments is generally expected to be received in cash. The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08 Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”) in calculating amortization of premium for applicable investments. Amortization of premium or accretion of discount is recognized using the effective interest method.

 

In certain circumstances, all or a portion of interest income from a given investment may be paid in the form of additional investment principal, often referred to as payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. PIK interest is included in interest income and interest receivable through the payment date. The PIK interest rate represents the coupon rate at payment date when PIK interest is received. On the payment date, all or a portion of interest receivable is capitalized as additional principal in the investment. To the extent the Company does not believe it will ultimately be able to collect PIK interest, the investment will be placed on non-accrual status, and previously recorded PIK interest income will be reversed.

 

CLO equity investments, fee rebates and CFO equity investments recognize investment income for U.S. GAAP purposes on the accrual basis utilizing an effective interest methodology based upon an effective yield to maturity utilizing projected cash flows. ASC Topic 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, requires investment income from such investments to be recognized under the effective interest method, with any difference between cash distributed and the amount calculated pursuant to the effective interest method being recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of the investment. It is the Adviser’s policy to update the effective yield for each CLO equity and fee rebate position held within the Company’s portfolio at the initiation of each investment and each subsequent quarter thereafter. It is the Adviser’s policy to review the effective yield for each CFO equity position at each measurement date and update periodically based on the facts and circumstances known to the Adviser.

 

LAFs recognize interest income according to the guidance noted in ASC Topic 325-40-35-1, Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets, which states that the holder of a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets shall determine interest income over the life of the beneficial interest in accordance with the effective yield method, provided such amounts are expected to be collected. FASB ASC 325-40-20 further defines “beneficial interests,” among other things, as “rights to receive all or portions of specified cash inflows received by a trust or other entity.” FASB ASC 325-40-15-7 also states that for income recognition purposes, beneficial interests in securitized financial assets (such as those in LAFs) are within the scope of ASC 325-40 because it is customary for certain industries, such as investment companies, to report interest income as a separate item in their income statements even though the investments are accounted for at fair value. The amount of interest income from loan accumulation facilities recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $1.3 million.

 

Other Income

Other income includes the Company’s share of income under the terms of fee rebate agreements and commitment fee income.

 

Dividend Income

Dividend income represents dividend income from the Company’s common stock investments.

 

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes the Company’s distributions associated with its Term Preferred Stock and interest paid associated with its Unsecured Notes. Interest expense also includes the Company’s amortization of original issue premiums associated with its Term Preferred Stock.

The Company’s Term Preferred Stock and Unsecured Notes had no interest payable outstanding as of March 31, 2024.

 

See Note 7 “Preferred Stock” and Note 8 “Unsecured Notes” for further discussion relating to the Term Preferred Stock issuances and Unsecured Notes issuances, respectively.

 

Original Issue Premiums

Original issue premiums on liabilities consist of premiums received in connection with the issuance of the Term Preferred Stock as part of the Company’s ATM program, consistent with FASB ASC Topic 835-30-35-2. The original issue premiums are capitalized at the time of issuance and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Term Preferred Stock. Amortization of original issue premiums is reflected as a contra expense within interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Repurchase of Debt Securities

The Company records any gains from the repurchase of the Company’s debt at a discount through open market transactions or redemptions and subsequent retirement as a realized gain or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Securities Transactions

The Company records the purchase and sale of securities on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of the specific identification method.

 

In certain circumstances where the Adviser determines it is unlikely to fully amortize a CLO equity or CLO debt investment’s remaining amortized cost, such remaining cost is written-down to its current fair value and recognized as a realized loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts, which, at times, may exceed federal insured limits. The Adviser monitors the performance of the financial institution where the accounts are held in order to manage any risk associated with such accounts.

 

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is subject to a legal or contractual restriction by third parties as well as a restriction as to withdrawal or use, including restrictions that require the funds to be used for a specified purpose and restrictions that limit the purpose for which the funds can be used. The Company considers cash collateral posted with counterparties for foreign currency contracts to be restricted cash. As of March 31, 2024, the Company held $1.3 million in restricted cash associated with forward currency contracts entered into by the Company.

 

Foreign Currency

The Company does not isolate the portion of its results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market price of such investments. Such

fluctuations are included with the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, foreign currency and cash equivalents. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses may arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends and interest income recorded on the Company’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received.

 

Expense Recognition

Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses consist primarily of insurance premiums, filing fees, shelf registration expenses and ATM program expenses. Prepaid shelf registration expenses and ATM program expenses represent fees and expenses incurred in connection with the initial registration of the Company’s current shelf registration and ATM program. Such costs are allocated pro-rata based on the amount issued relative to the total respective offering amount to paid-in-capital or expense depending on the security being issued pursuant to the shelf registration and ATM program. Any subsequent costs incurred to maintain the Company’s ATM program are expensed as incurred.

 

Any unallocated prepaid expense balance associated with the shelf registration and the ATM program are accelerated into expense at the earlier of the end of the program period or at the effective date of a new shelf registration or ATM program.

 

Offering Expenses

Offering expenses associated with the issuance and sale of shares of common stock, inclusive of expenses incurred associated with offerings under the ATM program, are charged to paid-in capital at the time the shares are sold in accordance with guidance noted in FASB ASC Topic 946-20-25-5, Investment Companies – Investment Company Activities – Recognition, during the period incurred.

 

Federal and Other Taxes

The Company intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code and, as such, to not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, among other requirements, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code.

 

Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax basis components of distributable earnings may differ from the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities due to temporary book/tax differences arising primarily from partnerships and passive foreign investment company investments.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the federal income tax cost and net unrealized depreciation on securities were as follows:

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes  $1,206,095,389 
      
Gross unrealized appreciation  $28,289,860 
Gross unrealized depreciation   (241,523,257)
Net unrealized depreciation  $(213,233,397)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred $25,000 in Delaware franchise tax expense

and $350,000 in U.S. federal excise tax related to the 2023 tax year.

 

The Company’s subsidiary, Eagle Point Credit Company Sub II (US) LLC has elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes and may be subject to federal, state and local tax where it operates or is deemed to operate. The subsidiary has no significant tax liability as of March 31, 2024.

 

Distributions

The composition of distributions paid to common stockholders from net investment income and capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions to common stockholders can be comprised of net investment income, net realized capital gains and return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are intended to be paid monthly. Distributions payable to common stockholders are recorded as a liability on ex-dividend date. Unless a common stockholder opts out of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), distributions are automatically reinvested in full shares of the Company as of the payment date, pursuant to the DRIP. The Company’s common stockholders who opt-out of participation in the DRIP (including those common stockholders whose shares are held through a broker who has opted out of participation in the DRIP) generally will receive all distributions in cash.

 

In addition to the regular monthly distributions, and subject to available taxable earnings of the Company, the Company may make periodic special and/or supplemental distributions representing the excess of the Company’s net taxable income over the Company’s aggregate monthly distributions paid during the year.

 

The characterization of distributions paid to common stockholders, as set forth in the Consolidated Financial Highlights, reflect estimates made by the Company for federal income tax purposes. Such estimates are subject to change once the final determination of the source of all distributions has been made and the final tax return has been filed by the Company.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company paid distributions on common stock with record dates during 2024 of $38.8 million or $0.48 per share.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series C Term Preferred Stock of $0.9 million or approximately $0.41 per share of the Series C Term Preferred Stock.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock of $0.6 million or approximately $0.42 per share of the Series D Preferred Stock.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series F Term Preferred Stock of $0.8 million or approximately $0.39 per share of the Series F Term Preferred Stock.

Total Fair Value of Level III Investments (6)  $771.4          

 

  (1)   Weighted average calculations are based on the fair value of investments.
  (2)   A weighted average is not presented as the input in the discounted cash flow model varies over the life of an investment.
  (3)   0% is assumed for defaulted and non-performing assets.
  (4)   Represents yield based on fair value and projected future cash flow.
  (5)   Range not shown as only one position is included in category.
  (6)  Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

 

In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the above table, the Adviser may use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the fair value measurements of the Company’s investments, as provided for in the Adviser’s valuation policy approved by the Board. Please refer to Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion. The table is not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provides information on the significant Level III inputs as they relate to the Company’s fair value measurements as of March 31, 2024. Unobservable inputs and assumptions are reviewed at each measurement date and updated as necessary to reflect current market conditions.

 

Increases (decreases) in the annual default rate, reinvestment price, expected yield and discount rate in isolation would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement. Increases (decreases) in the reinvestment spread and recovery rate in isolation would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. Changes in the annual prepayment rate may result in a higher (lower) fair value, depending on the circumstances. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the annual default rate may be accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for the annual prepayment rate and recovery rate.

 

Certain of the Company’s Level III investments have been valued using unadjusted inputs that have not been internally developed by the Adviser, including third-party transactions, recent transactions and data reported by trustees. As a result, investments with a fair value of $19.6 million have been excluded from the preceding table. Additionally, the preceding table excludes $19.1 million of fair value pertaining to called CLO equity that has not yet been fully paid down and CLO equity with expected yields below 0% and over 100%.

Net changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are reported in the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, foreign currency and cash equivalents balance in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Fair Value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs

The Adviser establishes valuation processes and procedures to ensure the valuation techniques are fair and consistent, and valuation inputs are supportable. The Adviser has a Valuation Committee comprised of various senior personnel of the Adviser, the majority of which are not members of the Company’s portfolio management function. The Valuation Committee is responsible for overseeing the valuation process, evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of the Adviser’s written valuation policies approved by the Board. The Valuation Committee reviews and approves the valuation on a monthly basis.

 

Valuation of CLO Equity

The Adviser estimates the fair value of CLO equity investments utilizing the output from a third-party financial

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

tool based on assumptions derived from internal and external (market) data. The tool contains detailed information on the characteristics of each CLO, including recent information about assets and liabilities from data sources such as trustee reports, and uses market data inputs to project future cash flows to CLO equity tranches. Key inputs to the tool, including, but not limited to assumptions for future loan default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and discount rates are determined by considering both observable and third-party market data and prevailing general market assumptions and conventions as well as those of the Adviser. Additionally, a third-party independent valuation firm is used as an input by the Adviser to determine the fair value of the Company’s investments in CLO equity. The valuation firm’s advice is only one factor considered in the valuation of such investments, and the Adviser does not solely rely on such advice in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with the 1940 Act.

 

The Adviser categorizes CLO equity as Level III investments. Certain pricing inputs may be unobservable. An active market may exist, but not necessarily for CLO equity investments that the Company holds as of the reporting date.

 

Valuation of CLO Debt

The Company’s investments in CLO debt have been valued using an independent pricing service. The valuation methodology of the independent pricing service includes incorporating data comprised of observable market transactions, executable bids, broker quotes from dealers with two sided markets, as well as transaction activity from comparable securities to those being valued. As the independent pricing service contemplates real time market data and no unobservable inputs or significant judgment has been used by the Adviser in the valuation of the Company’s investment in CLO debt, such positions are considered Level II assets.

 

Valuation of Loan Accumulation Facilities

The Adviser determines the fair value of LAFs in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, utilizing the income approach as noted in ASC 820-10-55-3F (the “Income Approach”), in which fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about the receipt of future amounts (i.e., exit price). LAFs are typically short- to medium-term in nature and formed to acquire loans on an interim basis that are expected to form part of a specific CLO transaction. Pursuant to LAF governing documents, loans acquired by the LAF are typically required to be transferred to the contemplated CLO transaction at original cost plus accrued interest. In such situations, because the LAF will receive its full cost basis in the underlying loan assets and the accrued interest thereon upon the consummation of the CLO transaction, the Adviser determines the fair value of the LAF as follows: (A) the cost of the Company’s investment (i.e., the principal amount invested), and (B) to the extent the LAF has realized gains (losses) on its underlying loan assets which are reported by the Trustee during the applicable reporting period, its attributable portion of such realized gains (losses).

 

In certain circumstances, the LAF documents can contemplate transferring the underlying loans at a price other than original cost plus accrued interest or the Adviser may determine that, despite the initial expectation that a CLO transaction would result from a LAF, such a transaction is in fact unlikely to occur and, accordingly, it is unlikely the loans held by the LAF will be transferred at cost. Rather, the loans held by the LAF will most likely be sold at market value. In such situations, the Adviser will continue to fair value the LAF consistent with the Income Approach, but modify the fair value measurement to reflect the change in exit strategy of the LAF to incorporate market expectations of the receipt of future amounts (i.e., exit price). As such, the fair value of the LAF is most appropriately determined by reference to the market value of the LAF’s underlying loans, which is reflective of the price at which the LAF could sell its loan assets in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, in these situations, the Adviser will continue utilizing the Income Approach and determine the fair value of the LAF as follows: (A) the cost of the Company’s investment (i.e., the principal amount invested), (B) the Company’s attributable portion of the unrealized gain (loss) on the LAF’s underlying loan assets, and (C) to the extent the LAF has realized gains (losses) on its underlying loan assets which are reported by the Trustee during the applicable reporting period, its attributable portion of such realized gains (losses). The Adviser’s measure of the Company’s attributable portion of the unrealized gain (loss) on the LAF’s underlying loan assets takes into account the Adviser’s current market expectations of the receipt of future amounts on such assets, which

 

22

 

 

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

may be impacted by various factors including any applicable change in market conditions or new information.

 

The Adviser categorizes LAFs as Level III investments. There is no active market and prices are unobservable.

 

Valuation of Bank Debt Term Loans, ABS, CFO Debt, CFO Equity, Common Stock, Corporate Bonds, Preferred Stock, Regulatory Capital Relief Securities and Warrants

The Adviser generally engages a nationally recognized independent valuation agent to determine fair value for bank debt term loans, ABS, CFO debt, CFO equity, common stock, corporate bonds, preferred stock, regulatory capital relief securities and warrants. The independent valuation agent performs a discounted cash flow analysis, or other valuation technique appropriate for the facts and circumstances, to determine the fair value of such investments, ultimately providing a high and low valuation for each investment. The final valuation recorded is within the high and low band provided by the valuation agent. Given the lack of observable inputs, the Adviser categorizes these investments as Level III investments.

 

The Adviser may also utilize the mid-point of an indicative broker quotation, if available, to value such investments as of the reporting date. The Adviser generally categorizes investments valued utilizing indicative broker quotations as Level II or Level III depending on whether an active market exists as of the reporting date.

 

Exchange-Traded Investments

The Adviser values common stock investments that are traded on a national securities exchange at their last reported closing price from the applicable exchange as of the measurement date. Due to their observability and active market, the Adviser categorizes such investments as Level I investments.

 

Valuation of Joint Venture Investments

JV investments consist of common stock and senior unsecured notes issued by a JV entity. The Company values such investments using NAV as a practical expedient, unless it is probable that the Company will sell a portion of the investment at an amount different than NAV.

 

Valuation of Unsecured Notes and Term Preferred Stock

The Unsecured Notes and Term Preferred Stock are considered Level I securities and are valued at their official closing price, taken from the NYSE.

 

Investment Risk Factors and Concentration of Investments

The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the potential risks associated with the Company. The Company’s prospectus provides a detailed discussion of the Company’s risks and considerations. The risks described in the prospectus are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that are currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

Risks of Investing in CLOs and Other Structured Debt Securities

CLOs and other structured finance securities are generally backed by a pool of credit-related assets that serve as collateral. Accordingly, CLO and structured finance securities present risks similar to those of other types of credit investments, including default (credit), interest rate and prepayment risks. In addition, CLOs and other structured finance securities are often governed by a complex series of legal documents and contracts, which increases the risk of dispute over the interpretation and enforceability of such documents relative to other types of investments. There is also a risk that the trustee of a CLO does not properly carry out its duties to the CLO, potentially resulting in loss to the CLO. CLOs are also inherently leveraged vehicles and are subject to leverage risk.

 

Subordinated Securities Risk

CLO equity and junior debt securities that the Company may acquire are subordinated to more senior tranches of CLO debt. CLO equity and junior debt securities are subject to increased risks of default relative to the holders of superior priority interests in the same CLO. In addition, at the time of issuance, CLO equity securities are under-collateralized in that the face amount of the CLO debt and CLO equity of a CLO at inception exceed its total

 

23

 

 

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

assets. The Company will typically be in a subordinated or first loss position with respect to realized losses on the underlying assets held by the CLOs in which the Company is invested.

 

High Yield Investment Risk

The CLO equity and junior debt securities that the Company acquires are typically rated below investment grade, or in the case of CLO equity securities unrated, and are therefore considered “higher yield” or “junk” securities and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. The senior secured loans and other credit-related assets underlying CLOs are also higher yield investments. Investing in CLO equity and junior debt securities and other high yield investments typically involves greater credit and liquidity risk than investment grade obligations, which may adversely impact the Company’s performance.

 

Leverage Risk

The use of leverage, whether directly or indirectly through investments such as CLO equity or junior debt securities that inherently involve leverage, may magnify the Company’s risk of loss. CLO equity or junior debt securities are very highly leveraged (with CLO equity securities typically being leveraged ten times), and therefore the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to a higher degree of risk of loss since the use of leverage magnifies losses.

 

Credit Risk

If (1) a CLO in which the Company invests, (2) an underlying asset of any such CLO or (3) any other type of credit investment in the Company’s portfolio declines in price or fails to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer or debtor, as the case may be, experiences a decline in its financial status, the Company’s income, NAV and/or market price would be adversely impacted.

 

Key Personnel Risk

The Adviser manages our investments. Consequently, the Company’s success depends, in large part, upon the services of the Adviser and the skill and expertise of the Adviser’s professional personnel. There can be no assurance that the professional personnel of the Adviser will continue to serve in their current positions or continue to be employed by the Adviser. We can offer no assurance that their services will be available for any length of time or that the Adviser will continue indefinitely as the Company’s investment adviser.

 

Conflicts of Interest Risk

The Company’s executive officers and directors, and the Adviser and certain of its affiliates and their officers and employees, including the members of the Investment Committee, have several conflicts of interest as a result of the other activities in which they engage.

 

Prepayment Risk

The assets underlying the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment by the underlying corporate borrowers. As such, the CLO securities and related investments in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment risk. If the Company or a CLO collateral manager are unable to reinvest prepaid amounts in a new investment with an expected rate of return at least equal to that of the investment repaid, the Company’s investment performance will be adversely impacted.

 

Liquidity Risk

Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments in which the Company invests. As such, the Company may not be able to sell such investments quickly, or at all. If the Company is able to sell such investments, the prices the Company receives may not reflect the Adviser’s assessment of their fair value or the amount paid for such investments by the Company.

 

Incentive Fee Risk

The Company’s incentive fee structure and the formula for calculating the fee payable to the Adviser may incentivize the Adviser to pursue speculative investments and use leverage in a manner that adversely impacts the Company’s performance.

Fair Valuation of the Company’s Portfolio Investments

Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments and certain other credit assets in which the Company may invest. The Adviser values these securities at least quarterly, or more frequently as may be required from time to time, at fair value. The Adviser’s determinations of the fair value of the Company’s investments have a material impact on the Company’s net earnings through the recording of unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and may cause the Company’s NAV on a given date to understate or overstate, possibly materially, the value that the Company ultimately realizes on one or more of the Company’s investments.

 

Limited Investment Opportunities Risk

The market for CLO securities is more limited than the market for other credit related investments. The Company can offer no assurances that sufficient investment opportunities for the Company’s capital will be available. In recent years there has been a marked increase in the number of, and flow of capital into, investment vehicles established to pursue investments in CLO securities whereas the size of the market is relatively limited. While the Company cannot determine the precise effect of such competition, such increase may result in greater competition for investment opportunities, which may result in an increase in the price of such investments relative to the risk taken on by holders of such investments. Such competition may also result under certain circumstances in increased price volatility or decreased liquidity with respect to certain positions.

 

Non-Diversification Risk

The Company is a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act and expect to hold a narrower range of investments than a diversified fund under the 1940 Act.

 

Market Risk

Political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Company’s investments. A disruption or downturn in the capital markets and the credit markets could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital, reduce the availability of suitable investment opportunities for the Company, or adversely and materially affect the value of the Company’s investments, any of which would negatively affect the Company’s business. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain, and could affect companies worldwide.

 

Loan Accumulation Facilities Risk

The Company may invest in LAFs, which are short to medium term facilities often provided by the bank that will serve as placement agent or arranger on a CLO transaction and which acquire loans on an interim basis which are expected to form part of the portfolio of a future CLO. Investments in LAFs have risks similar to those applicable to investments in CLOs. Leverage is typically utilized in such a facility and as such the potential risk of loss will be increased for such facilities employing leverage. In the event a planned CLO is not consummated, or the loans are not eligible for purchase by the CLO, the Company may be responsible for either holding or disposing of the loans. This could expose the Company to credit and/or mark-to-market losses, and other risks.

 

Synthetic Investments Risk

The Company may invest in synthetic investments, such as significant risk transfer securities and credit risk transfer securities issued by banks or other financial institutions, or acquire interests in lease agreements that have the general characteristics of loans and are treated as loans for withholding tax purposes. In addition to the credit risks associated with the applicable reference assets, the Company will usually have a contractual relationship only with the counterparty of such synthetic investment, and not with the reference obligor of the reference asset. Accordingly, the Company generally will have no right to directly enforce compliance by the reference obligor with the terms of the reference asset nor will it have any rights of setoff against the reference obligor or rights with respect to the reference asset. The Company will not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the reference asset and will not have the benefit of the remedies that would normally be available to a holder of such reference asset. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the counterparty, the Company may be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the reference asset.

Currency Risk

Although the Company primarily makes investments denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company may make investments denominated in other currencies. The Company’s investments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be subject to the risk that the value of such currency will decrease in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Company may or may not hedge currency risk.

 

Hedging Risk

Hedging transactions seeking to reduce risks may result in poorer overall performance than if the Company had not engaged in such hedging transactions. Additionally, such transactions may not fully hedge the Company’s risks.

 

Reinvestment Risk

CLOs will typically generate cash from asset repayments and sales that may be reinvested in substitute assets, subject to compliance with applicable investment tests. If the CLO collateral manager causes the CLO to purchase substitute assets at a lower yield than those initially acquired or sale proceeds are maintained temporarily in cash, it would reduce the excess interest-related cash flow, thereby having a negative effect on the fair value of the Company’s assets and the market value of the Company’s securities. In addition, the reinvestment period for a CLO may terminate early, which would cause the holders of the CLO’s securities to receive principal payments earlier than anticipated. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reinvest such amounts in an alternative investment that provides a comparable return relative to the credit risk assumed.

 

Interest Rate Risk

The price of certain of the Company’s investments may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, including recent increases in interest rates. Although senior secured loans are generally floating rate instruments, the Company’s investments in senior secured loans through investments in junior equity and debt tranches of CLOs are sensitive to interest rate levels and volatility. For example, because the senior secured loans constituting the underlying collateral of CLOs typically pay a floating rate of interest, a reduction in interest rates would generally result in a reduction in the residual payments made to the Company as a CLO equity holder (as well as the cash flow the Company receives on the Company’s CLO debt investments and other floating rate investments). Further, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, loan defaults may increase and result in credit losses that may adversely affect the Company’s cash flow, fair value of the Company’s assets and operating results. Because CLOs generally issue debt on a floating rate basis, an increase in the relevant benchmark index will increase the financing costs of CLOs.

 

Refinancing Risk

If the Company incurs debt financing and subsequently refinances such debt, the replacement debt may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions. If the Company fails to extend, refinance or replace such debt financings prior to their maturity on commercially reasonable terms, the Company’s liquidity will be lower than it would have been with the benefit of such financings, which would limit the Company’s ability to grow, and holders of the Company’s common stock would not benefit from the potential for increased returns on equity that incurring leverage creates.

 

Tax Risk

If the Company fails to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for any reason, or otherwise becomes subject to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes (and any related penalties) could substantially reduce the Company’s net assets, the amount of income available for distributions to the Company’s stockholders, and the amount of income available for payment of the Company’s other liabilities.

 

Derivatives Risk

Derivative instruments in which the Company may invest may be volatile and involve various risks different from, and in certain cases greater than, the risks presented by other instruments. The primary risks related to derivative transactions include counterparty, correlation, liquidity, leverage, volatility, over-the-counter trading, operational and legal risks. In addition, a small investment in derivatives could have a large potential impact on the Company’s

 

26

 

 

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

performance, effecting a form of investment leverage on the Company’s portfolio. In certain types of derivative transactions, the Company could lose the entire amount of the Company’s investment; in other types of derivative transactions the potential loss is theoretically unlimited.

 

Counterparty Risk

The Company may be exposed to counterparty risk, which could make it difficult for the Company or the issuers in which the Company invests to collect on obligations, thereby resulting in potentially significant losses.

 

Price Risk

Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

 

Global Risks

Due to highly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value of the Company’s securities and its underlying investments may go up or down in response to governmental actions and/or general economic conditions throughout the world. Events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact the Company and its investments.

 

Banking Risk

The possibility of future bank failures poses risks of reduced financial market liquidity at clearing, cash management and other custodial financial institutions. The failure of banks which hold cash on behalf of the Company, the Company's underlying obligors, the collateral managers of the CLOs in which the Company invests (or managers of other securitized or pooled vehicles in which the Company invests), or the Company’s service providers could adversely affect the Company’s ability to pursue its investment strategies and objectives. For example, if an underlying obligor has a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, such company may experience delays or other disruptions in meeting its obligations and consummating business transactions. Additionally, if a collateral manager has a commercial relationship with a distressed bank, the manager may experience issues conducting its operations or consummating transactions on behalf of the CLOs it manages, which could negatively affect the performance of such CLOs (and, therefore, the performance of the Company).

 

4.DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS

 

The Company enters into forward currency contracts to manage the Company’s exposure to the foreign currencies in which some of the Company’s investments are denominated. Risks associated with forward currency contracts are the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their respective contracts and movements in fair value and exchange rates.

5.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Investment Adviser

On June 6, 2014, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, which was amended and restated on May 16, 2017 (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a management fee and an incentive fee for its services.

 

The management fee is calculated and payable quarterly, in arrears, at an annual rate equal to 1.75% of the Company’s “total equity base.” “Total equity base” means the net asset value attributable to the common stock and the paid-in, or stated, capital of the Preferred Stock. The management fee is calculated based on the “total equity base” at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter end, and, with respect to any common stock or preferred stock issued or repurchased during such quarter, is adjusted to reflect the number of days during such quarter that such common stock and/or preferred stock, if any, was outstanding. The management fee for any partial quarter is pro-rated (based on the number of days actually elapsed at the end of such partial quarter relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter). The Company was charged management fees of $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and has a payable balance of $3.8 million as of March 31, 2024.

 

The incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly, in arrears, based on the pre-incentive fee net investment income (the “PNII”) of the Company for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, PNII means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees the Company receives from an investment) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below) and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock or debt, but excluding the incentive fee). PNII includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. PNII does not include any realized or unrealized capital gains or realized or unrealized capital losses. The portion of incentive fee that is attributable to deferred interest (such as payment-in-kind interest or original issue discount) will be paid to the Adviser, without interest, only if and to the extent the Company actually receives such deferred interest in cash, and any accrual thereof will be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write-off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred

interest accrual.

 

PNII, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a hurdle rate of 2.00% per quarter. The Company pays the Adviser an incentive fee with respect to the Company’s PNII in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s PNII does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.00%; (2) 100% of the Company’s PNII with respect to that portion of such PNII, if any, exceeding the hurdle rate but equal to or less than 2.50% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s PNII, if any, exceeding 2.50% in any calendar quarter. The Company incurred incentive fees of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and has a payable balance of $6.8 million as of March 31, 2024.

 

Administrator

Effective June 6, 2014, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator, an affiliate of the Adviser. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or arranges for the performance of, the Company’s required administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports which are disseminated to the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the Administrator provides the Company with accounting services, assists the Company in determining and publishing its net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns, monitors the Company’s compliance with tax laws and regulations, and prepares and assists the Company with any audits by an independent public accounting firm of the consolidated financial statements. The Administrator is also responsible for printing and disseminating reports to the Company’s stockholders and maintaining the Company’s website, providing support to investor relations, generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others, and providing such other administrative services as the Company may from time to time designate.

 

Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon the Company’s allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of the Company’s chief compliance officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer and the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of any related support staff.  The Company’s allocable portion of such compensation is based on an allocation of the time spent on the Company relative to other matters. To the extent the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company pays the fees on a direct basis, without profit to the Administrator. Certain accounting and other administrative services have been delegated by the Administrator to SS&C Technologies, Inc. (“SS&C”). The Administration Agreement may be terminated by the Company without penalty upon not less than sixty days’ written notice to the Administrator and by the Administrator upon not less than ninety days’ written notice to the Company. The Administration Agreement is approved by the Board, including by a majority of the Company’s independent directors, on an annual basis.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company was charged a total of $0.4 million in administration fees consisting of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, relating to services provided by the Administrator and SS&C, respectively, which are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and, of which $0.4 million was payable as of March 31, 2024.

 

Affiliated Ownership

As of March 31, 2024, the Adviser and senior investment team held an aggregate of 1.8% of the Company’s common stock and 0.1% of the Series C Term Preferred Stock. This represented 1.7% of the total outstanding voting stock of the Company as of March 31, 2024. Additionally, the senior investment team held an aggregate of 0.4% of the Series 2028 Notes, as of March 31, 2024.

March 29, 2024, respectively.

 

The Company has accounted for its Unsecured Notes utilizing the FVO under ASC 825.

 

The estimated change in fair value of the Series 2028 Notes, Series 2029 Notes and Series 2031 Notes attributable to market risk for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is $0.4 million, $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which is recorded as unrealized (appreciation) depreciation on liabilities at fair value under the FVO on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

The estimated change in fair value of the Series 2028 Notes, Series 2029 Notes and Series 2031 Notes attributable to instrument-specific credit risk for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is ($0.8) million, ($1.8) million and ($0.3) million, respectively, which is recorded as unrealized (appreciation) depreciation on liabilities at fair value under the FVO on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company defines the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk as the excess of the total change in fair value over the change in fair value attributable to changes in a base market rate, such as a United States treasury bond index with a similar maturity to the instrument being valued.

 

The Company has engaged a broker-dealer to repurchase opportunistically, on the Company’s behalf, a portion of the Company’s Unsecured Notes through open market transactions.  The price and other terms of any such repurchases will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity and other factors.  Depending on market conditions, the amount of Unsecured Note repurchases may be material and may continue through year-end 2024; however, the Company may reduce or extend this timeframe in its discretion and without notice. Any Unsecured Note repurchases will comply with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Upon repurchase, the Company intends to retire the Unsecured Notes reducing the Company’s outstanding leverage. The Company did not repurchase Unsecured Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

See Note 9 “Asset Coverage” for further discussion on the Company’s calculation of asset coverage with respect to its Unsecured Notes.

 

9.ASSET COVERAGE

 

Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company is permitted to issue senior securities, including debt securities and preferred stock, and borrow from banks or other financial institutions, provided that the Company satisfies certain asset coverage requirements.

 

With respect to senior securities that are stocks, such as the Preferred Stock, the Company is required to have asset coverage of at least 200%, as measured at the time of issuance of any such senior securities that are stocks and calculated as the ratio of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Company’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness plus the aggregate liquidation preference of any outstanding shares of senior securities that are stocks.

 

With respect to senior securities representing indebtedness, such as the Unsecured Notes or any bank borrowings (other than temporary borrowings as defined under the 1940 Act), the Company is required to have asset coverage of at least 300%, as measured at the time of borrowing and calculated as the ratio of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Company’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness.

 

If the Company’s asset coverage declines below 300% (or 200%, as applicable), the Company would be prohibited under the 1940 Act from incurring additional debt or issuing additional preferred stock and from declaring certain distributions to its stockholders. In addition, the terms of the Preferred Stock and the Unsecured Notes require the Company to redeem shares of the Preferred Stock and/or a certain principal amount of the Unsecured Notes, if

The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts.

The Company’s maximum exposure under these agreements cannot be known; however, the Company expects any risk of loss to be remote.

 

12.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03 (“ASU 2022-03”) related to FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements - Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This change prohibits entities from taking into account contractual restrictions on the sale of equity securities when estimating fair value and introduces required disclosures for such transactions. The Company has fully adopted the provisions of ASU 2022-03, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(2) Per share amounts are based on weighted average of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
(3) Net realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, foreign currency and cash equivalents includes a balancing figure to reconcile to the change in net asset value (“NAV”) per share at the end of each period.  The amount per share may not agree with the change in the aggregate net realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, foreign currency and cash equivalents for the period because of the timing of issuance of the Company’s common stock in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio.
(4) The information provided is based on estimates available at each respective period. The Company’s final taxable income and the actual amount required to be distributed will be finally determined when the Company files its final tax returns and may vary from these estimates. The year ended December 31, 2022 includes a special distribution of $0.50 per share of common stock paid on January 24, 2023 to stockholders of record on December 23, 2022. The year ended December 31, 2021 includes a special distribution of $0.50 per share of common stock paid on January 24, 2022 to stockholders of record on December 23, 2021.
(5) Represents the difference between the per share amount distributed to common stockholders of record and the per share amount distributed based on the weighted average of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
(6) Effect of other comprehensive income is related to income/(loss) deemed attributable to instrument specific credit risk derived from changes in fair value associated with liabilities valued under the fair value option (ASC 825.)
(7) Represents the effect per share of the Company’s ATM offerings, follow-on offerings and initial public offering. Effect of shares issued reflect the excess of offering price over management’s estimated NAV per share at the time of each respective offering.
(8) Total return based on market value is calculated assuming shares of the Company’s common stock were purchased at the market price as of the beginning of the period, and distributions paid to common stockholders during the period were reinvested at prices obtained by the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, and the total number of shares were sold at the closing market price per share on the last day of the period. Total return does not reflect any sales load. Total return for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and for the period from October 6, 2014 to December 31, 2014 are not annualized.
(9) Ratios for the period from October 6, 2014 to December 31, 2014 are annualized. Ratios for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 reflect the portion of incentive fee voluntarily waived by the Adviser of 0.06%, 0.03%, 0.06%, 0.03% and 0.09% of average net assets, respectively. Ratios for the three months ended March 31 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016 include excise tax of 0.05%, 0.41%, 0.49% and 0.26% of average net assets, respectively. Ratios for the year ended December 31, 2023 include excise tax refund of -0.12%.

Ratios do not include distributions to the Series D Preferred Stock stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 of 0.30%. 0.31%, 0.37% and 0.03%, respectively, of average net assets.
(11) The portfolio turnover rate is calculated as the lesser of total investment purchases executed during the period or the total investment sales executed during the period and repayments of principal, divided by the average fair value of investments for the same period.

(1) The asset coverage per unit figure is the ratio of the Company's total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate dollar amount of outstanding applicable senior securities, as calculated separately for each of the Preferred Stock and the Unsecured Notes in accordance with section 18(h) of the 1940 Act. With respect to the Preferred Stock, the asset coverage per unit figure is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per share of outstanding preferred stock (based on a per share liquidation preference of $25.)  With respect to the Unsecured Notes, the asset coverage per unit figure is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per $1,000 principal amount of such notes.
(2) The involuntary liquidating preference per unit is the amount to which a share of Preferred Stock would be entitled in preference to any security junior to it upon our involuntary liquidation.
(3) The average market value per unit is calculated by taking the average of the closing price of each of (a) a share of the Preferred Stock (NYSE: ECCA, ECCB, ECCC, ECCF, ECC PRD) and(b) $25 principal amount of the Unsecured Notes (NYSE: ECCV, ECCW, ECCX, ECCY, ECCZ) for each day during the years for which each applicable security was listed on the NYSE.
