Material Changes and Agreements
The company entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement with its affiliate, Franklin Square Holdings, L.P. (controlled by the company's CEO and Vice-Chairman). Key terms include:
- Purpose: Franklin Square Holdings agreed to reimburse the company for expenses to ensure distributions are not paid from offering proceeds or borrowings.
- Calculation: Reimbursements equal the difference between cumulative quarterly distributions and the sum of net investment income, net capital gains, and portfolio dividends/distributions.
- Exclusions: Reimbursements will not cover portions of distributions deemed a "return of capital" for tax purposes.
- Conditional Repayment: The company must reimburse Franklin Square Holdings if, within three years, the company's income and gains exceed its distributions.
- Termination: Either party may terminate the agreement at any time. If the investment advisory agreement is terminated, the company must repay all reimbursements funded within the preceding three years.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Offering Timeline Risk: There is no assurance that the final semi-monthly closing will occur on the projected date of May 15, 2012.
- Expense Support Uncertainty: There is no assurance that the Expense Reimbursement Agreement will remain in effect or that Franklin Square Holdings will reimburse expenses in future quarters.
- Tax Implications: A portion of distributions may be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes depending on the nature of investment income received.
- Forward-Looking Statements: The filing contains forward-looking statements subject to inherent uncertainties; actual results may differ materially.
