(1) All debt investments are income producing, unless otherwise noted. Equity and any equity-linked investments are non-income producing, unless otherwise noted. The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") determined in good faith that all investments were valued at fair value in accordance with the Company's valuation policies and procedures and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") based on, among other things, the input of the Company's external investment adviser, Barings LLC ("Barings"), the Company’s Audit Committee and an independent valuation firm that has been engaged to assist in the valuation of the Company's senior secured, middle-market investments. In addition, all debt investments are variable rate investments unless otherwise noted. Index-based floating interest rates are generally subject to a contractual minimum interest rate. A majority of the variable rate loans in the Company's investment portfolio bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR or an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), which typically reset semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. (2) All of the Company’s portfolio company investments (including joint venture and short-term investments), which as of June 30, 2020 represented 211% of the Company’s net assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales. The acquisition date represents the date of the Company's initial investment in the relevant portfolio company. (3) Investment is not a qualifying investment as defined under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Non-qualifying assets represent 17.4% of total investments at fair value as of June 30, 2020. Qualifying assets must represent at least 70% of total assets at the time of acquisition of any additional non-qualifying assets. If at any time qualifying assets do not represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets, the Company will be precluded from acquiring any additional non-qualifying asset until such time as it complies with the requirements of Section 55(a). (4) Non-accrual investment. (5) Some or all of the investment is or will be encumbered as security for the Company's credit facility entered into in February 2019 (and subsequently amended in December 2019) with ING Capital LLC (the "February 2019 Credit Facility"). (6) Some or all of the investment is encumbered as security for the Company's $449.3 million term debt securitization entered into in May 2019 (the "Debt Securitization"). (7) The fair value of the investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs. (8) Debt investment includes interest rate floor feature (9) As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be an “affiliated person” of the portfolio company as the Company owns 5% or more of the portfolio company's voting securities (“non-controlled affiliate”).

(1) All debt investments are income producing, unless otherwise noted. Equity and any equity-linked investments are non-income producing, unless otherwise noted. The Board determined in good faith that all investments were valued at fair value in accordance with the Company's valuation policies and procedures and the 1940 Act based on, among other things, the input of Barings, the Company’s Audit Committee and an independent valuation firm that has been engaged to assist in the valuation of the Company's middle-market investments. In addition, all debt investments are variable rate investments unless otherwise noted. Index-based floating interest rates are generally subject to a contractual minimum interest rate. A majority of the variable rate loans in the Company's investment portfolio bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR or an alternate Base Rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), which typically reset semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower's option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. (2) All of the Company’s portfolio company investments (including joint venture and short-term investments), which as of December 31, 2019 represented 206% of the Company’s net assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales. The acquisition date represents the date of the Company's initial investment in the relevant portfolio company. (3) Investment is not a qualifying investment as defined under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Non-qualifying assets represent 14.8% of total investments at fair value as of December 31, 2019. Qualifying assets must represent at least 70% of total assets at the time of acquisition of any additional non-qualifying assets. If at any time qualifying assets do not represent at least 70% of the Company's total assets, the Company will be precluded from acquiring any additional non-qualifying asset until such time as it complies with the requirements of Section 55(a). (4) Some or all of the investment is or will be encumbered as security for Barings BDC Senior Funding I, LLC's credit facility entered into in August 2018 with Bank of America, N.A., as subsequently amended in December 2018 and February 2020 (the "August 2018 Credit Facility"). (5) Some or all of the investment is or will be encumbered as security for the February 2019 Credit Facility. (6) Some or all of the investment is encumbered as security for the Company's Debt Securitization. (7) The fair value of the investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements 1. ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Barings BDC, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are specialty finance companies. The Company currently operates as a closed-end, non-diversified investment company and has elected to be treated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Company has elected for federal income tax purposes to be treated as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Organization The Company is a Maryland corporation incorporated on October 10, 2006. On August 2, 2018, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") and an administration agreement (the "Administration Agreement") and became an externally-managed BDC managed by the Barings LLC ("Barings" or the "Adviser"). An externally-managed BDC generally does not have any employees, and its investment and management functions are provided by an outside investment adviser and administrator under an advisory agreement and administration agreement. Instead of the Company directly compensating employees, the Company pays the Adviser for investment and management services pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement. See Note 2 - Agreements and Related Party Transactions for additional information regarding the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement. Basis of Presentation The financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Barings BDC, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The effects of all intercompany transactions between Barings BDC, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is an investment company and, therefore, applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. ASC 946 states that consolidation by the Company of an investee that is not an investment company is not appropriate, except when the Company holds a controlling interest in an operating company that provides all or substantially all of its services directly to the Company or to its portfolio companies. None of the portfolio investments made by the Company qualify for this exception. Therefore, the Company's investment portfolio is carried on the Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, as discussed further in Note 3, with any adjustments to fair value recognized as "Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)" on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") 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, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. Additionally, the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019. Financial statements prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"), which includes new, eliminated and modified fair value disclosure requirements. The new guidance requires disclosure of the range and weighted average of the significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and the way it is calculated. The guidance also eliminates the following disclosures: (i) amount and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, (ii) policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and (iii) valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurement. In addition, the disclosure is modified such that the narrative description for the recurring Level 3 fair value measures should communicate information about the measurement uncertainty in fair value measurements as of the reporting date rather than a point in the future. The guidance is effective for all entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the aforementioned guidance on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 28 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) Share Purchase Programs On September 24, 2018, the Adviser entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Purchase Plan (the “10b5-1 Plan”) that qualified for the safe harbors provided by Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan, an independent broker made purchases of shares of the Company's common stock on the open market on behalf of the Adviser in accordance with purchase guidelines specified in the 10b5-1 Plan. The maximum aggregate purchase price of all shares purchased under the 10b5-1 Plan was $50.0 million. On February 11, 2019, the Adviser fulfilled its obligations under the 10b5-1 Plan to purchase an aggregate amount of $50.0 million in shares of the Company's common stock and the 10b5-1 Plan terminated in accordance with its terms. Upon completion of the 10b5-1 Plan, the Adviser had purchased 5,084,302 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan. As of June 30, 2020, the Adviser owned a total of 13,639,681 shares of our common stock, or 28.4% of the total shares outstanding. On February 25, 2019, the Company adopted a share repurchase plan, pursuant to Board approval, for the purpose of repurchasing shares of the Company's common stock in the open market during the 2019 fiscal year (the "2019 Share Repurchase Plan"). The Board authorized the Company to repurchase in 2019 up to a maximum of 5.0% of the amount of shares outstanding under the following targets: • a maximum of 2.5% of the amount of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding if shares traded below NAV per share but in excess of 90% of NAV per share; and • a maximum of 5.0% of the amount of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding if shares traded below 90% of NAV per share. The 2019 Share Repurchase Plan was executed in accordance with applicable rules under the Exchange Act including Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 thereunder, as well as certain price, market volume and timing constraints specified in the 2019 Share Repurchase Plan. The 2019 Share Repurchase Plan was designed to allow the Company to repurchase its shares both during its open window periods and at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under applicable insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. A broker selected by the Company was delegated the authority to repurchase shares on the Company's behalf in the open market, pursuant to, and under the terms and limitations of, the 2019 Share Repurchase Plan. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased a total of 376,384 shares and 969,789 shares, respectively, of its common stock in the open market under the 2019 Share Repurchase Plan at an average price of $10.06 per share and $9.95 per share, respectively, including broker commissions. On February 27, 2020, the Board approved an open-market share repurchase program for the 2020 fiscal year (the “2020 Share Repurchase Program”). Under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program, the Company is authorized during fiscal year 2020 to repurchase up to a maximum of 5.0% of the amount of shares outstanding as of February 27, 2020 if shares trade below NAV per share, subject to liquidity and regulatory constraints. Purchases under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program may be made in open-market transactions and include transactions being executed by a broker selected by the Company that has been delegated the authority to repurchase shares on the Company's behalf in the open market in accordance with applicable rules under the Exchange Act, including Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 thereunder, and pursuant to, and under the terms and limitations of, the 2020 Share Repurchase Program. There is no assurance that the Company will purchase shares at any specific discount levels or in any specific amounts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased a total of 327,069 and 989,050 shares, respectively, of its common stock in the open market under the 2020 Share Repurchase Program at an average price of $7.17 and $7.21 per share, respectively, including broker commissions. 29 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) 2. AGREEMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On August 2, 2018, the Company entered into the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement with the Adviser, an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, the Adviser serves as the Company’s investment adviser and administrator and manages its investment portfolio. The Company’s then-current board of directors unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement at an in-person meeting on March 22, 2018. The Company’s stockholders approved the Advisory Agreement at a July 24, 2018 special meeting of stockholders. Advisory Agreement Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the Company's day-to-day operations and provides the Company with investment advisory services. Among other things, the Adviser (i) determines the composition of the portfolio of the Company, the nature and timing of the changes therein and the manner of implementing such changes; (ii) identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments made by the Company; (iii) executes, closes, services and monitors the investments that the Company makes; (iv) determines the securities and other assets that the Company will purchase, retain or sell; (v) performs due diligence on prospective portfolio companies and (vi) provides the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds. The Advisory Agreement provides that, absent fraud, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, the Adviser, and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with the Adviser (collectively, the "IA Indemnified Parties"), are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs, demands, charges, claims and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) incurred by the IA Indemnified Parties in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of the Company or its security holders) arising out of any actions or omissions or otherwise based upon the performance of any of the Adviser’s duties or obligations under the Advisory Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company. The Adviser’s services under the Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and the Adviser is generally free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its performance under the Advisory Agreement is not adversely affected. The Adviser has entered into a personnel-sharing arrangement with its affiliate, Barings International Investment Limited ("BIIL"). BIIL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Baring Asset Management Limited, which in turn is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser. Pursuant to this arrangement, certain employees of BIIL may serve as "associated persons" of the Adviser and, in this capacity, subject to the oversight and supervision of the Adviser, may provide research and related services, and discretionary investment management and trading services (including acting as portfolio managers) to the Company on behalf of the Adviser. This arrangement is based on no-action letters of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that permit SEC-registered investment advisers to rely on and use the resources of advisory affiliates or "participating affiliates," subject to the supervision of that SEC-registered investment adviser. BIIL is a "participating affiliate" of the Adviser, and the BIIL employees are "associated persons" of the Adviser. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser (i) a base management fee (the "Base Management Fee") and (ii) an incentive fee (the "Incentive Fee") as compensation for the investment advisory and management services it provides the Company thereunder. Base Management Fee The Base Management Fee is calculated based on the Company’s gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds or other forms of leverage and excluding cash and cash equivalents, at an annual rate of 1.375%. The annual rate of the Base Management Fee was 1.0% for the period from August 2, 2018 through December 31, 2018, and was 1.125% for the period commencing on January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019. The Base Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. The Base Management Fee is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters prior to the quarter for which such fees are being calculated. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter are appropriately pro-rated. 30 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Base Management Fee determined in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement was approximately $3.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the amount of Base Management Fee incurred was approximately $3.1 million and $5.6 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the Base Management Fee of $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was unpaid and included in "Base management fees payable" in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2019, the Base Management Fee of $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was unpaid and included in "Base management fees payable" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. Incentive Fee The Incentive Fee is comprised of two parts: (1) a portion based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income (the "Income-Based Fee") and (2) a portion based on the net capital gains received on the Company’s portfolio of securities on a cumulative basis for each calendar year, net of all realized capital losses and all unrealized capital depreciation for that same calendar year (the "Capital Gains Fee"). The Income-Based Fee is calculated as follows: (i) For each quarter from and after August 2, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the "Pre-2020 Period"), the Income-Based Fee was calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter for which such fees were being calculated. In respect of the Pre-2020 Period, "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, managerial assistance and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the relevant calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for such quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, any interest expense and any dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income 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 not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. (ii) For each quarter beginning on and after January 1, 2020 (the "Post-2019 Period"), the Income-Based Fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter and the eleven preceding calendar quarters (or such fewer number of preceding calendar quarters counting each calendar quarter beginning on or after January 1, 2020) (each such period referred to as the "Trailing Twelve Quarters") for which such fees are being calculated and is payable promptly following the filing of the Company’s financial statements for such quarter. In respect of the Post-2019 Period, "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, managerial assistance and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters, minus the Company’s operating expenses for such Trailing Twelve Quarters (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, any interest expense and any dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee) divided by the number of quarters that comprise the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income 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 not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. (iii) Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less senior securities constituting indebtedness and preferred stock) at the end of the calendar quarter for which such fees are being calculated, is compared to a "hurdle rate", expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 2% per quarter (8% annualized). The Company pays the Adviser the Income-Based Fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) (a) With respect to the Pre-2020 Period, no Income-Based Fee for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (i) above) did not exceed the hurdle rate; 31 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) (b) With respect to the Post-2019 Period, no Income-Based Fee for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above) does not exceed the hurdle rate; (2) (a) With respect to the Pre-2020 Period, 100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (i) above) for any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for such quarter, if any, that exceeded the hurdle rate but was less than 2.5% (10% annualized) (the "Pre-2020 Catch-Up Amount"). The Pre-2020 Catch-Up Amount was intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (i) above) when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (i) above) reached 2% per quarter (8% annualized); (b) With respect to the Post-2019 Period, 100% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above) with respect to that portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above), if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% (10% annualized) (the "Post-2019 Catch-Up Amount"). The Post-2019 Catch-Up Amount is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 20% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above) when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above) reaches 2% per quarter (8% annualized); (3) (a) With respect to the Pre-2020 Period, 20% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (i) above) for any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (i) above) for such quarter, if any, that exceeded the Pre-2020 Catch-Up Amount; and (b) With respect to the Post-2019 Period, 20% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above) for any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in paragraph (ii) above), if any, that exceeds the Post-2019 Catch-Up Amount. However, with respect to the Post-2019 Period, the Income-Based Fee paid to the Adviser will not be in excess of the Incentive Fee Cap. With respect to the Post-2019 Period, the "Incentive Fee Cap" for any quarter is an amount equal to (a) 20% of the Cumulative Net Return (as defined below) during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (b) the aggregate Income-Based Fee that was paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or the portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The Incentive Fee Cap is not subject to recoupment. Cumulative Net Return means (x) the aggregate net investment income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (y) any Net Capital Loss (as defined below), if any, in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Company pays no Income-Based Fee to the Adviser for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is a positive value but is less than the Income-Based Fee that is payable to the Adviser for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Company pays an Income-Based Fee to the Adviser equal to the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is equal to or greater than the Income-Based Fee that is payable to the Adviser for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Company pays an Income-Based Fee to the Adviser equal to the Income-Based Fee calculated as described above for such quarter without regard to the Incentive Fee Cap. Net Capital Loss in respect of a particular period means the difference, if positive, between (i) aggregate capital losses, whether realized or unrealized, in such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, in such period. The Capital Gains Fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement), and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (1) the sum of the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (2) the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from August 2, 2018. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the Capital Gains Fee payable for such year is equal to 20% of such amount, less the cumulative aggregate amount of Capital Gains Fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no Capital Gains Fee payable for such year. If the Advisory Agreement is terminated as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date will be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee. The Company did not pay any Incentive Fee for the three or six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019. 32 Barings BDC, Inc.

The Company is required to reimburse the Adviser for the costs and expenses incurred by the Adviser in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities under the Administration Agreement, or such lesser amount as may be agreed to in writing by the Company and the Adviser from time to time. If the Company and the Adviser agree to a reimbursement amount for any period which is less than the full amount otherwise permitted under the Administration Agreement, then the Adviser will not be entitled to recoup any difference thereof in any subsequent period or otherwise. The costs and expenses incurred by the Adviser on behalf of the Company under the Administration Agreement include, but are not limited to: • the allocable portion of the Adviser’s rent for the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs, which is based upon the allocable portion of the usage thereof by such personnel in connection with their performance of administrative services under the Administration Agreement; • the allocable portion of the salaries, bonuses, benefits and expenses of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs, which is based upon the allocable portion of the time spent by such personnel in connection with performing administrative services for the Company under the Administration Agreement; • the actual cost of goods and services used for the Company and obtained by the Adviser from entities not affiliated with the Company, which is reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other method conforming with generally accepted accounting principles; • all fees, costs and expenses associated with the engagement of a sub-administrator, if any; and • costs associated with (a) the monitoring and preparation of regulatory reporting, including registration statements and amendments thereto, prospectus supplements, and tax reporting, (b) the coordination and oversight of service provider activities and the direct cost of such contractual matters related thereto and (c) the preparation of all financial statements and the coordination and oversight of audits, regulatory inquiries, certifications and sub-certifications.

The sale of the investments met the criteria set forth in ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing for treatment as a sale and satisfies the following conditions: • Assigned investments have been isolated from the Company, and put presumptively beyond the reach of the Company and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership; • each participant has the right to pledge or exchange the assigned investments it received, and no condition both constrains the participant from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a trivial benefit to the Company; and • the Company, its consolidated affiliates or its agents do not maintain effective control over the assigned investments through either: (i) an agreement that entitles and/or obligates the Company to repurchase or redeem the assets before maturity, or (ii) the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets, other than through a cleanup call.

The Company's current valuation policy and processes were established by the Adviser and have been approved by the Board. Under ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller at the measurement date. For the Company’s portfolio securities, fair value is generally the amount that the Company might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of the security. Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement assumes that the sale occurs in the principal market for the security, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the security. Under ASC Topic 820, if no market for the security exists or if the Company does not have access to the principal market, the security should be valued based on the sale occurring in a hypothetical market. Under ASC Topic 820, there are three levels of valuation inputs, as follows: Level 1 Inputs – include quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs – include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 Inputs – include inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. A financial instrument is categorized within the ASC Topic 820 valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input to the valuation process that is significant to the fair value measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, unrealized appreciation and depreciation related to such investments categorized as Level 3 investments within the tables below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company’s investment portfolio includes certain debt and equity instruments of privately held companies for which quoted prices or other inputs falling within the categories of Level 1 and Level 2 are generally not available. In such cases, the Company determines the fair value of its investments in good faith primarily using Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, quoted prices or other observable inputs exist, and the Company assesses the appropriateness of the use of these third-party quotes in determining fair value based on (i) its understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer and (ii) the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with the underlying performance of the portfolio company. There is no single technique for determining fair value in good faith, as fair value depends upon the specific circumstances of each individual investment. The recorded fair values of the Company’s Level 3 investments may differ significantly from fair values that would have been used had an active market for the securities existed. In addition, changes in 37 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned. Investment Valuation Process The Adviser has established a Pricing Committee that is, subject to the oversight of the Board, responsible for the approval, implementation and oversight of the processes and methodologies that relate to the pricing and valuation of assets held by the Company. The Adviser uses internal pricing models, in accordance with internal pricing procedures established by the Adviser's Pricing Committee, to price an asset in the event an acceptable price cannot be obtained from an approved external source. The Adviser reviews its valuation methodologies on an ongoing basis and updates are made accordingly to meet changes in the marketplace. The Adviser has established internal controls to ensure its valuation process is operating in an effective manner. The Adviser (1) maintains valuation and pricing procedures that describe the specific methodology used for valuation and (2) approves and documents exceptions and overrides of valuations. In addition, the Pricing Committee performs an annual review of valuation methodologies. The Company's money market fund investments are generally valued using Level 1 inputs and its syndicated senior secured loans and structured product investments are generally valued using Level 2 inputs. The Company's senior secured, middle-market, private debt investments are generally valued using Level 3 inputs. Independent Valuation Review The Company has engaged an independent valuation firm to provide third-party valuation consulting services at the end of each fiscal quarter which consist of certain limited procedures that the Company identified and requested the valuation firm to perform (hereinafter referred to as the "Procedures"). The Procedures generally consist of a review of the quarterly fair values of the Company's middle-market investments, and are generally performed with respect to each middle-market investment at least once in every calendar year and for new investments, at least once in the twelve-month period subsequent to the initial investment. In addition, the Procedures will generally be performed with respect to an investment where there has been a significant change in the fair value or performance of the investment. Prior to the first quarter of 2020, the Procedures were generally performed with respect to each investment every quarter beginning in the quarter after the investment was made. In certain instances, the Company may determine that it is not cost-effective, and as a result is not in the stockholders' best interests, to request the independent valuation firm to perform the Procedures on certain investments. Such instances include, but are not limited to, situations where the fair value of the investment in the portfolio company is determined to be insignificant relative to the total investment portfolio. The total number of senior secured, middle-market investments and the percentage of the Company's total senior secured, middle-market investment portfolio on which the Procedures were performed are summarized below by period: For the quarter ended: Total companies Percent of total investments at fair value(1) March 31, 2019 18 100% June 30, 2019 22 100% September 30, 2019 28 100% December 31, 2019 38 100% March 31, 2020 30 62% June 30, 2020 33 53% (1) Exclusive of the fair value of new middle-market investments made during the quarter for which the Procedures were not performed and certain middle-market investments repaid subsequent to the end of the reporting period. Upon completion of the Procedures, the valuation firm concluded that, with respect to each investment reviewed by the valuation firm, the fair value of those investments subjected to the Procedures appeared reasonable. Finally, the Board determined in good faith that the Company's investments were valued at fair value in accordance with the Company's valuation policies and procedures and the 1940 Act based on, among other things, the input of Barings, the Company’s Audit Committee and the independent valuation firm. 38 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) Valuation Techniques The Company's valuation techniques are based upon both observable and unobservable pricing inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The Company determines the estimated fair value of its loans and investments using primarily an income approach. Generally, an independent pricing service provider is the preferred source of pricing a loan, however, to the extent the independent pricing service provider price is unavailable or not relevant and reliable, the Company may use broker quotes. The Company attempts to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the security. Market Approach The Company values its syndicated senior secured loans and structured product investments using values provided by independent pricing services that have been approved by the Adviser's Pricing Committee. The prices received from these pricing service providers are based on yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, type, coupon and maturity and/or indications as to value from dealers and exchanges. The Company will seek to obtain two prices from the pricing services with one price representing the primary source and the other representing an independent control valuation. The Company evaluates the prices obtained from brokers or independent pricing service providers based on available market information, including trading activity of the subject or similar securities, or by performing a comparable security analysis to ensure that fair values are reasonably estimated. The Company also performs back-testing of valuation information obtained from independent pricing service providers and brokers against actual prices received in transactions. In addition to ongoing monitoring and back-testing, the Company performs due diligence procedures surrounding independent pricing service providers to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process. Income Approach The Company utilizes an Income Approach model in valuing its private debt investment portfolio, which consists of middle-market senior secured loans with floating reference rates. As independent pricing service provider and broker quotes have not historically been consistently relevant and reliable, the fair value is determined using an internal index-based pricing model that takes into account both the movement in the spread of one or more performing credit indices as well as changes in the credit profile of the borrower. The implicit yield for each debt investment is calculated at the date the investment is made. This calculation takes into account the acquisition price (par less any upfront fee) and the relative maturity assumptions of the underlying asset. As of each balance sheet date, the implied yield for each investment is reassessed, taking into account changes in the discount margin of the baseline index, probabilities of default and any changes in the credit profile of the issuer of the security, such as fluctuations in operating levels and leverage. If there is an observable price available on a comparable security/issuer, it is used to calibrate the internal model. If the valuation process for a particular debt investment results in a value above par, the value is typically capped at the greater of the principal amount plus any prepayment penalty in effect or 100% of par on the basis that a market participant is likely unwilling to pay a greater amount than that at which the borrower could refinance. Enterprise Value Waterfall Approach In valuing equity securities, the Company estimates fair value using an "Enterprise Value Waterfall" valuation model. The Company estimates the enterprise value of a portfolio company and then allocates the enterprise value to the portfolio company’s securities in order of their relative liquidation preference. In addition, the model assumes that any outstanding debt or other securities that are senior to the Company’s equity securities are required to be repaid at par. Generally, the waterfall proceeds flow from senior debt tranches of the capital structure to junior and subordinated debt, followed by each class or preferred stock and finally the common stock. Additionally, the Company may estimate the fair value of a debt security using the Enterprise Value Waterfall approach when the Company does not expect to receive full repayment. To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, the Company primarily uses a valuation model based on a transaction multiple, which generally is the original transaction multiple, and measures of the portfolio company’s financial performance. In addition, the Company considers other factors, including but not limited to (i) offers from third parties to purchase the portfolio company, (ii) the implied value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company, (iii) publicly available information regarding recent sales of private companies in comparable transactions and (iv) when the Company believes there are comparable companies that are publicly traded, the Company performs a review of these publicly traded companies and the market multiple of their equity securities. For certain non-performing assets, the Company may utilize the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company's assets in its estimation of enterprise value. 39 Barings BDC, Inc.

Pre-tax net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on Level 3 investments of $10.0 million and $(32.6) million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was related to portfolio company investments that were still held by the Company as of June 30, 2020. Pre-tax net unrealized appreciation on Level 3 investments of $2.3 million and $3.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was related to portfolio company investments that were still held by the Company as of June 30, 2019. Exclusive of short-term investments, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company made investments of approximately $153.3 million in portfolio companies to which it was not previously contractually committed to provide such financing. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company made investments of $13.3 million in portfolio companies to which it was previously committed to provide such financing. Exclusive of short-term investments, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company made investments of approximately $139.9 million in portfolio companies to which it was not previously contractually committed to provide such financing. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company made investments of $6.2 million in portfolio companies to which it was previously committed to provide such financing. 42 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) Unsettled Purchases and Sales of Investments Investment transactions are recorded based on the trade date of the transaction. As a result, unsettled purchases and sales are recorded as payables and receivables from unsettled transactions, respectively. While purchases and sales of the Company's syndicated senior secured loans generally settle on a T+7 basis, the settlement period will sometimes extend past the scheduled settlement. In such cases, the Company generally is contractually owed and recognizes interest income equal to the applicable margin ("spread") beginning on the T+7 date. Such income is accrued as interest receivable and is collected upon settlement of the investment transaction. Realized Gain or Loss and Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation of Portfolio Investments Realized gains or losses are recorded upon the sale or liquidation of investments and are calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or liquidation, if any, and the cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the difference between the fair value of the investments and the cost basis of the investments. Investment Classification In accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company classifies investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, "Control Investments" are investments in those companies that the Company is deemed to "Control." "Affiliate Investments" are investments in those companies that are "Affiliated Persons" of the Company, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than Control Investments. "Non-Control / Non-Affiliate Investments" are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments. Generally, under the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to control a company in which it has invested if the Company owns more than 25.0% of the outstanding voting securities (i.e., securities with the right to elect directors) and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. As of June 30, 2020, the Company does not “Control” any of its portfolio companies for the purposes of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be an Affiliated Person of a company in which the Company has invested if it owns at least 5.0%, but no more than 25.0%, of the outstanding voting securities of such company. Investment Income Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company writes off any previously accrued and uncollected interest when it is determined that interest is no longer considered collectible. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Payment-in-Kind Interest As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held investments that contained PIK interest provisions, and the Company may hold additional investments with PIK interest provisions in the future. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is periodically added to the principal balance of the loan, rather than being paid to the Company in cash, and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of PIK interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income at the time of recognition, is included in the Company’s taxable income and therefore affects the amount the Company is required to distribute to its stockholders to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC for federal income tax purposes, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. Generally, when current cash interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing PIK interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company writes off any accrued and uncollected PIK interest when it is determined that the PIK interest is no longer collectible. 43 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) Fee Income Origination, facility, commitment, consent and other advance fees received in connection with loan agreements ("Loan Origination Fees") are recorded as deferred income and recognized as investment income over the term of the loan. Upon prepayment of a loan, any unamortized Loan Origination Fees are recorded as investment income. In the general course of its business, the Company receives certain fees from portfolio companies, which are non-recurring in nature. Such fees include loan prepayment penalties, structuring fees and loan waiver and amendment fees, and are recorded as investment income when earned. Fee income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was as follows: Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019 June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019 Recurring Fee Income: Amortization of loan origination fees $ 463,590 $ 200,806 $ 893,139 $ 346,124 Management, valuation and other fees 154,000 78,573 329,755 130,882 Total Recurring Fee Income 617,590 279,379 1,222,894 477,006 Non-Recurring Fee Income: Prepayment fees — 59,617 248,574 59,617 Acceleration of unamortized loan origination fees 20,118 118,299 84,151 197,378 Advisory, loan amendment and other fees 12,725 62,675 55,807 87,026 Total Non-Recurring Fee Income 32,843 240,591 388,532 344,021 Total Fee Income $ 650,433 $ 519,970 $ 1,611,426 $ 821,027 Concentration of Credit Risk As of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no individual investments representing greater than 10% of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s largest single portfolio company investment, excluding short-term investments, represented approximately 2.4% and 2.3%, respectively, of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio, exclusive of short-term investments. Income, consisting of interest, dividends, fees, other investment income and realization of gains or losses on equity interests, can fluctuate dramatically upon repayment of an investment or sale of an equity interest and in any given year can be highly concentrated among several portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2020, $768.6 million of the investment portfolio were or will be pledged as collateral for the February 2019 Credit Facility, and $296.5 million of the investment portfolio were pledged as collateral for the Debt Securitization. Investments Denominated in Foreign Currencies As of June 30, 2020 the Company held one investment that was denominated in Swedish kronas, nine investments that were denominated in Euros and three investments that were denominated in British pounds sterling. As of December 31, 2019, the Company held one investment that was denominated in Swedish kronas, five investments that were denominated in Euros and two investments that were denominated in British pounds sterling. At each balance sheet date, portfolio company investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period. Purchases and sales of foreign portfolio company investments, and any income from such investments, are translated into United States dollars using the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Although the fair values of foreign portfolio company investments and the fluctuation in such fair values are translated into United States dollars using the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, the Company does not separately report that portion of the change in fair values resulting from foreign currency exchange rates fluctuations from the change in fair values of the underlying investment. All fluctuations in fair value are included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company entered into forward currency contracts primarily to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on net interest income from the Company's investments and related borrowings denominated in foreign currencies. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation 44 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) on foreign currency contracts are included in "Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) - foreign currency transactions" and net realized gains or losses on forward currency contracts are included in "Net realized gains (losses) - foreign currency transactions" in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Investments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. Dollar. 4. INCOME TAXES The Company has elected for federal income tax purposes to be treated as a RIC under the Code and intends to make the required distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC, the Company must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then the Company is generally required to pay taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and gains it does not distribute (actually or constructively) and certain built-in gains. The Company has historically met its minimum distribution requirements and continually monitors its distribution requirements with the goal of ensuring compliance with the Code. The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require the Company to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income ("ICTI"), as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such excess. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI. ICTI generally differs from net investment income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. The Company may be required to recognize ICTI in certain circumstances in which it does not receive cash. For example, if the Company holds debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments issued with warrants), the Company must include in ICTI each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by the Company in the same taxable year. The Company may also have to include in ICTI other amounts that it has not yet received in cash, such as interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in the Company’s ICTI for the year of accrual, the Company may be required to make a distribution to its stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, even though the Company will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. ICTI also excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized. In addition, the Company has a wholly-owned taxable subsidiary (the “Taxable Subsidiary”), which holds certain portfolio investments that are listed on the Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Schedules of Investments. The Taxable Subsidiary is consolidated for financial reporting purposes, such that the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s investments in the portfolio companies owned by the Taxable Subsidiary. The purpose of the Taxable Subsidiary is to permit the Company to hold certain portfolio companies that are organized as LLCs (or other forms of pass-through entities) and still satisfy the RIC tax requirement that at least 90% of the RIC’s gross revenue for income tax purposes must consist of qualifying investment income. Absent the Taxable Subsidiary, a proportionate amount of any gross income of an LLC (or other pass-through entity) portfolio investment would flow through directly to the RIC. To the extent that such income did not consist of qualifying investment income, it could jeopardize the Company’s ability to qualify as a RIC and therefore cause the Company to incur significant amounts of federal income taxes. When LLCs (or other pass-through entities) are owned by the Taxable Subsidiary, their income is taxed to the Taxable Subsidiary and does not flow through to the RIC, thereby helping the Company preserve its RIC tax treatment and resultant tax advantages. The Taxable Subsidiary is not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense or benefit as a result of their ownership of the portfolio companies. This income tax expense or benefit is reflected in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, any unrealized appreciation related to portfolio investments held by the Taxable Subsidiary (net of unrealized depreciation related to portfolio investments held by the Taxable Subsidiary) is reflected net of applicable federal and state income taxes in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, with the related deferred tax assets or liabilities included in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in the Company's Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was approximately $1,108.2 million and $1,192.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, net unrealized depreciation on the Company's investments (tax basis) was approximately $74.7 million, consisting of gross unrealized appreciation, where the fair 45 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) value of the Company's investments exceeds their tax cost, of approximately $3.2 million and gross unrealized depreciation, where the tax cost of the Company's investments exceeds their fair value, of approximately $78.0 million. The cost of investments owned (tax basis) listed above does not include the RIC's basis in the Taxable Subsidiary. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the cost (tax basis) of the RIC's investment in the Taxable Subsidiary was approximately $18.4 million and $18.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, net unrealized depreciation on the Company's investments (tax basis) was approximately $20.1 million, consisting of gross unrealized appreciation, where the fair value of the Company's investments exceeds their tax cost, of approximately $2.5 million and gross unrealized depreciation, where the tax cost of the Company's investments exceeds their fair value, of approximately $22.6 million. 5. BORROWINGS The Company had the following borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019: Issuance Date Maturity Date Interest Rate as of June 30, 2020 June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Credit Facilities: August 3, 2018 - Class A-1 NA NA $ — $ 107,200,000 February 21, 2019 February 21, 2024 2.415% 342,921,705 245,288,419 Total Credit Facilities $ 342,921,705 $ 352,488,419 Debt Securitization: May 9, 2019 - Class A-1 2019 Notes April 15, 2027 2.239% $ 174,920,123 $ 266,710,176 May 9, 2019 - Class A-2 2019 Notes April 15, 2027 2.869% 51,500,000 51,500,000 Less: Deferred financing fees (1,024,638) (1,545,702) Total Debt Securitization $ 225,395,485 $ 316,664,474 August 2018 Credit Facility On July 3, 2018, the Company formed Barings BDC Senior Funding I, LLC, an indirectly wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company (“BSF”), the primary purpose of which was to function as the Company's special purpose, bankruptcy-remote, financing subsidiary. On August 3, 2018, BSF entered into the August 2018 Credit Facility (as subsequently amended in December 2018 and in February 2020) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent") and Class A-1 Lender, Société Générale, as Class A Lender, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, as sole lead arranger and sole book manager. BSF and the Administrative Agent also entered into a security agreement dated as of August 3, 2018 (the "Security Agreement") pursuant to which BSF’s obligations under the August 2018 Credit Facility were secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of BSF, including its portfolio of investments (the "Pledged Property"). In connection with the first-priority security interest established under the Security Agreement, all of the Pledged Property was held in the custody of State Street Bank and Trust Company, as collateral administrator (the "Collateral Administrator"). The Collateral Administrator maintained and performed certain collateral administration services with respect to the Pledged Property pursuant to a collateral administration agreement among BSF, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Administrator. Generally, the Collateral Administrator was authorized to make distributions and payments from Pledged Property based only on the written instructions of the Administrative Agent. The August 2018 Credit Facility initially provided for borrowings in an aggregate amount up to $750.0 million, including up to $250.0 million borrowed under the Class A Loan Commitments and up to $500.0 million borrowed under the Class A-1 Loan Commitments. Effective February 28, 2019, the Company reduced its Class A Loan Commitments to $100.0 million, which reduced total commitments under the August 2018 Credit Facility to $600.0 million. Effective May 9, 2019, the Company further reduced its Class A Loan Commitments under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $100.0 million to zero and reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $500.0 million to $300.0 million, which collectively reduced total commitments under the August 2018 Credit Facility to $300.0 million. Effective June 18, 2019, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $300.0 million to $250.0 million. Effective August 14, 2019, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $250.0 million to $177.0 million. Effective October 29, 2019, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $177.0 million to $150.0 million. Effective January 21, 2020, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $150.0 million to $80.0 million. Effective April 23, 2020, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $80.0 million to $30.0 million. Finally, effective June 26, 2020, the Company further reduced its Class A-1 Loan Commitments, and therefore total 46 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) commitments, under the August 2018 Credit Facility from $30.0 million to zero. In connection with these reductions, the pro rata portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the August 2018 Credit Facility was written off and recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. On February 21, 2020, the Company extended the maturity date of the August 2018 Credit Facility from August 3, 2020 to August 3, 2021. On June 30, 2020, following the repayment of all borrowings, interest, and fees payable thereunder and at the election of the Company, the August 2018 Credit Facility was terminated, including all commitments and obligations of Bank of America, N.A. to lend or make advances to BSF. In addition, the Security Agreement was terminated and all security interests in the assets of BSF in favor of the lenders were terminated. As a result of these terminations, all obligations of BSF under the August 2018 Credit Facility and Security Agreement were fully discharged. All borrowings under the August 2018 Credit Facility bore interest, subject to BSF’s election, on a per annum basis equal to (i) the applicable base rate plus the applicable spread or (ii) the applicable LIBOR rate plus the applicable spread. The applicable base rate was equal to the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate or (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The applicable LIBOR rate depended on the term of the borrowing under the August 2018 Credit Facility, which could be either one month or three months. BSF was required to pay commitment fees on the unused portion of the August 2018 Credit Facility. BSF could prepay any borrowing at any time without premium or penalty, except that BSF could have been liable for certain funding breakage fees if prepayments occurred prior to expiration of the relevant interest period. BSF could also permanently reduce all or a portion of the commitment amount under the August 2018 Credit Facility without penalty. Borrowings under the August 2018 Credit Facility were subject to compliance with a borrowing base, pursuant to which the amount of funds advanced by the lenders to BSF would vary depending upon the types of assets in BSF’s portfolio. Assets were required to meet certain criteria to be included in the borrowing base, and the borrowing base was subject to certain portfolio restrictions including investment size, sector concentrations, investment type and credit ratings. Under the August 2018 Credit Facility, BSF made certain representations and warranties and was required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for credit facilities of this nature. In addition to other customary events of default included in financing transactions, the August 2018 Credit Facility contained the following events of default: (a) the failure to make principal payments when due or interest payments within two business days of when due; (b) borrowings under the credit facility exceeding the applicable advance rates; (c) the purchase by BSF of certain ineligible assets; (d) the insolvency or bankruptcy of BSF; and (e) the decline of BSF’s NAV below a specified threshold. Borrowings of BSF were considered borrowings by Barings BDC, Inc. for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act applicable to business development companies. The obligations of BSF under the August 2018 Credit Facility were non-recourse to Barings BDC, Inc. As of December 31, 2019, BSF had borrowings of $107.2 million, outstanding under the August 2018 Credit Facility with an interest rate of 2.940%. As of December 31, 2019, the total fair value of the borrowings outstanding under the August 2018 Credit Facility was $107.2 million. The fair values of the borrowings outstanding under the August 2018 Credit Facility are based on a market yield approach and current interest rates, which are Level 3 inputs to the market yield model. February 2019 Credit Facility On February 21, 2019, the Company entered into the February 2019 Credit Facility (as subsequently amended in December 2019) with ING Capital LLC ("ING"), as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The initial commitments under the February 2019 Credit Facility total $800.0 million. The February 2019 Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows for an increase in the total commitments of up to $400.0 million, subject to certain conditions and the satisfaction of specified financial covenants. The Company can borrow foreign currencies directly under the February 2019 Credit Facility. The February 2019 Credit Facility, which is structured as a revolving credit facility, is secured primarily by a material portion of the Company's assets and guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. Following the termination of the August 2018 Credit Facility on June 30, 2020, BSF became a subsidiary guarantor and its assets will secure the February 2019 Credit Facility. The revolving period of the February 2019 Credit Facility ends on February 21, 2023, followed by a one-year repayment period with a final maturity date of February 21, 2024. Borrowings under the February 2019 Credit Facility bear interest, subject to the Company's election, on a per annum basis equal to (i) the applicable base rate plus 1.25% (or 1.00% if the Company receives an investment grade credit rating), (ii) the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.25% (or 2.00% if the Company receives an investment grade credit rating), (iii) for borrowings denominated in certain foreign currencies other than Australian dollars, the applicable currency rate for the foreign currency as defined in the credit agreement plus 2.25% (or 2.00% if the Company receives an investment grade credit rating) or (iv) for borrowings denominated in Australian dollars, the applicable Australian dollars Screen Rate, plus 2.45% (or 2.20% if 47 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) the Company receives an investment grade credit rating). The applicable base rate is equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (iii) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 0.5%, (iv) the adjusted three-month applicable currency rate plus 1.0% and (v) 1%. The applicable currency rate depends on the currency and term of the draw under the February 2019 Credit Facility. In addition, the Company (i) paid a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on undrawn amounts for the period beginning on the closing date of the February 2019 Credit Facility to and including the date that was six months after the closing date of the February 2019 Credit Facility, and (ii) thereafter pays a commitment fee of (x) 0.5% per annum on undrawn amounts if the unused portion of the February 2019 Credit Facility is greater than two-thirds of total commitments or (y) 0.375% per annum on undrawn amounts if the unused portion of the February 2019 Credit Facility is equal to or less than two-thirds of total commitments. In connection with entering into the February 2019 Credit Facility, the Company incurred financing fees of approximately $6.4 million, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the February 2019 Credit Facility. The February 2019 Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to (i) maintaining minimum stockholders' equity, (ii) maintaining minimum obligors' net worth, (iii) maintaining a minimum asset coverage ratio, (iv) meeting a minimum liquidity test and (v) maintaining the Company's status as a regulated investment company and as a business development company. The February 2019 Credit Facility also contains customary events of default with customary cure and notice provisions, including, without limitation, nonpayment, misrepresentation of representations and warranties in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default to other indebtedness, bankruptcy, change of control, and material adverse effect. The February 2019 Credit Facility also permits the administrative agent to select an independent third party valuation firm to determine valuations of certain portfolio investments for purposes of borrowing base provisions. In connection with the February 2019 Credit Facility, the Company also entered into new collateral documents. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the February 2019 Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had U.S. dollar borrowings of $265.0 million outstanding under the February 2019 Credit Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 2.438% (weighted average one month LIBOR of 0.188%), borrowings denominated in Swedish kronas of 12.8kr million ($1.4 million U.S. dollars) with an interest rate of 2.25% (one month STIBOR of 0.000%), borrowings denominated in British pounds sterling of £9.3 million ($11.5 million U.S. dollars) with an interest rate of 2.375% (one month GBP LIBOR of 0.125%), borrowings denominated in Euros of €38.0 million ($55.0 million U.S. dollars) with an interest rate of 2.25% (one month EURIBOR of 0.000%) and borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars of C$13.6 million ($10.0 million U.S. dollars) with an interest rate of 2.78% (one month CDOR of 0.530%). The borrowings denominated in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars based on the spot rate at the relevant balance sheet date. The impact resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on the February 2019 Credit Facility borrowings is included in "Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) - foreign currency transactions" in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had U.S. dollar borrowings of $195.0 million outstanding under the February 2019 Credit Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 4.054%, borrowings denominated in Swedish kronas of 12.8kr million ($1.4 million U.S. dollars) with an interest rate of 2.25%, borrowings denominated in British pounds sterling of £4.7 million ($6.3 million U.S. dollars) with an interest rate of 3.0%, and borrowings denominated in Euros of €38.0 million ($42.7 million U.S. dollars) with an interest rate of 2.25%.

Debt Securitization On May 9, 2019, the Company completed a $449.3 million term 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 for financial reporting purposes and subject to its overall asset coverage requirement. The notes offered in the Debt Securitization (collectively, the “2019 Notes”) were issued by Barings BDC Static CLO Ltd. 2019-I (“BBDC Static CLO Ltd.”) and Barings BDC Static CLO 2019-I, LLC, wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Issuers”), and are secured by a diversified portfolio of senior secured loans and participation interests therein. The Debt Securitization was executed through a private placement of approximately $296.8 million of AAA(sf) Class A-1 Senior Secured Floating Rate 2019 Notes (“Class A-1 2019 Notes”), which bear interest at the three-month LIBOR plus 1.02%; $51.5 million 48 Barings BDC, Inc. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) of AA(sf) Class A-2 Senior Secured Floating Rate 2019 Notes (“Class A-2 2019 Notes”), which bear interest at the three-month LIBOR plus 1.65%; and $101.0 million of Subordinated 2019 Notes which do not bear interest and are not rated. The Company retained all of the Subordinated 2019 Notes issued in the Debt Securitization in exchange for the Company’s sale and contribution to BBDC Static CLO Ltd. of the initial closing date portfolio, which included senior secured loans and participation interests therein distributed to the Company by BSF. The 2019 Notes are scheduled to mature on April 15, 2027; however, the 2019 Notes may be redeemed by the Issuers, at the direction of the Company as holder of the Subordinated 2019 Notes, on any business day after May 9, 2020. In connection with the sale and contribution, the Company made customary representations, warranties and covenants to the Issuers. The Class A-1 2019 Notes and Class A-2 2019 Notes are the secured obligations of the Issuers, the Subordinated 2019 Notes are the unsecured obligations of BBDC Static CLO Ltd., and the indenture governing the 2019 Notes includes customary covenants and events of default. The 2019 Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from registration. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Class A-1 2019 Notes and Class A-2 2019 Notes.

The Class A-1 2019 Notes and the Class A-2 2019 Notes issued in connection with the Debt Securitization have floating rate interest provisions based on the three-month LIBOR that reset quarterly, except that LIBOR for the first interest accrual period was calculated by reference to an interpolation between the rate for deposits with a term equal to the next shorter period of time for which rates were available and the rate appearing for deposits with a term equal to the next longer period of time for which rates were available. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, $64.8 million and $91.8 million, respectively, of the Class A-1 2019 Notes were repaid.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, consisting primarily of unused commitments to extend financing to the Company's portfolio companies. Since commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company maintains sufficient borrowing capacity to cover unused commitments to extend financing. The balances of unused commitments to extend financing as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows: Portfolio Company Investment Type June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 ADE Holding(1)(2) Committed Capex Line $ 5,019,358 $ — Anju Software, Inc.(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan 1,981,371 1,981,371 Arch Global Precision, LLC(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan 9,360,435 1,012,661 Armstrong Transport Group (Pele Buyer, LLC)(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan 712,567 712,567 Beacon Pointe Advisors, LLC(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan 363,636 — Centralis Finco S.a.r.l.(1)(3) Acquisition Facility 1,146,522 — Classic Collision (Summit Buyer, LLC)(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan 11,793,854 — CM Acquisitions Holdings Inc.(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan 1,859,111 1,859,111 Contabo Finco S.À R.L(1)(4) Delayed Draw Term Loan 209,485 1,013,849 Dart Buyer, Inc.(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan 2,430,569 4,294,503 DreamStart Bidco SAS(1)(5) Acquisition Facility 3,290,175 — Heartland, LLC(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan 8,729,695 8,729,695 Heilbron (f/k/a Sucsez (Bolt Bidco B.V.))(1)(6) Accordion Facility — 2,605,531 Jocassee Partners LLC(1) Joint Venture 35,000,000 40,000,000 Kene Acquisition, Inc.(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan 322,928 1,076,427 LAC Intermediate, LLC(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan 2,731,482 4,367,284 Options Technology Ltd.(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan 2,918,447 2,918,447 Premier Technical Services Group(1)(7) Acquisition Facility 1,082,438 1,297,915 Process Equipment, Inc.(1) Delayed Draw Term Loan — 654,493 Professional Datasolutions, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued) The Company and certain of its former executive officers have been named as defendants in two putative securities class action lawsuits, each filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and then transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina) on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock between May 7, 2014 and November 1, 2017. The first lawsuit was filed on November 21, 2017, and was captioned Elias Dagher, et al., v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al. , Case No. 5:18-cv-00015-FL (the “ Dagher Action”). The second lawsuit was filed on November 28, 2017, and was captioned Gary W. Holden, et al., v. Triangle Capital Corporation, et al. , Case No. 5:18-cv-00010-FL (the “ Holden Action”). The Dagher Action and the Holden Action were consolidated and are currently captioned In re Triangle Capital Corp. Securities Litigation , Master File No. 5:18-cv-00010-FL. On April 10, 2018, the plaintiff filed its First Consolidated Amended Complaint. The complaint alleged certain violations of the securities laws, including, among other things, that the defendants made certain materially false and misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company’s business, operations and prospects between May 7, 2014 and November 1, 2017. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs, among other relief, but did not specify the amount of damages being sought. On May 25, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On March 7, 2019, the court entered an order granting the defendants’ motion to dismiss. On March 28, 2019, the plaintiff filed a motion seeking leave to file a Second Consolidated Amended Complaint. On September 20, 2019, the court entered an order denying the plaintiff’s motion for leave to file a Second Consolidated Amended Complaint and dismissing the action with prejudice. On October 17, 2019, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal seeking review of the court’s September 20, 2019 order. The plaintiff filed its opening brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit on January 6, 2020. The defendants filed their response brief on February 28, 2020, and the plaintiff filed its reply brief on March 27, 2020. The appeal is currently pending before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. In addition, the Company may be party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on the Company in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any open legal proceedings, including those described above, cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that any reasonably possible losses arising from these matters will materially affect its financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, in management's opinion, it is not possible to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to litigation contingencies. COVID-19 Developments During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the spread of the Coronavirus and the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the U.S economy. The Company had a significant reduction in its net asset value as of June 30, 2020 as compared to its net asset value as of December 31, 2019, which was primarily the result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in net asset value as from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 resulted primarily from an increase in the aggregate unrealized depreciation of the Company's investment portfolio resulting from decreases in the fair value of some of its portfolio company investments primarily due to the immediate adverse economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the continuing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19's long-term impact, as well as the re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated credit market. From March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020, the Company did experience unrealized appreciation on its broadly syndicated loan portfolio of $31.6 million, which partially offset the $82.6 million of unrealized depreciation on the broadly syndicated loan portfolio that occurred from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020. To the extent the Company's portfolio companies are adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company's future net investment income, the fair value of its portfolio investments, its financial condition and the results of operations and financial condition of the Company's portfolio companies. 52 Barings BDC, Inc.
