This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by HMS Income Fund, Inc. on August 8, 2018. The filing reports on a material definitive agreement entered into on the same date between the Company and its advisers, HMS Adviser LP and MSC Adviser I, LLC.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The report focuses exclusively on the terms of a fee waiver agreement rather than presenting financial statement data.
Material Changes and Agreements
The primary event reported is the execution of the "Second Quarter 2018 Conditional Income Fee Waiver Agreement." Under this agreement:
- The Advisers waived the "subordinated incentive fee on income" for the period from April 1, 2018, through June 30, 2018.
- The waiver is conditional and may require the Company to repay previously waived fees or "Expense Support Payments" (reimbursement of operating expenses) if a surplus exists in future quarters.
- Repayment priority is established: first to reimburse Expense Support Payments (starting with the earliest eligible), and second to reimburse waived fees (starting with the earliest eligible).
- Any potential repayment must occur within a period not to exceed three years from the date of the respective fee waiver.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The agreement introduces a contingency where the Company's future ability to distribute income or retain earnings may be impacted by the obligation to reimburse the Advisers for past waivers. The repayment is subject to the occurrence of a surplus and the approval of the Company's board of directors. The filing does not provide specific management commentary on future performance or broader risk factors beyond the terms of this agreement.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the total amount of "Expense Support Payments" and waived fees eligible for potential reimbursement under the agreement.
- Review the full text of the Second Quarter 2018 Conditional Income Incentive Fee Waiver Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific conditions triggering repayment.
- Monitor future quarterly reports to determine if a surplus exists that would trigger the repayment obligation.
- Confirm the Company's current cash position to assess the potential impact of future repayments on liquidity.
