Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
Management Commentary: The Company intends to utilize net proceeds to fund its investment objectives and general corporate needs.
Risks and Subordination:
- The Notes are direct unsecured obligations.
- They rank pari passu with other unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness.
- They are effectively subordinated to secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of securing assets.
- They are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and obligations of the Company's subsidiaries.
Covenants: The Indenture requires compliance with asset coverage requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and mandates the provision of financial information to noteholders if the Company ceases to be subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements.
