Forward-Looking
Statements
This
quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical
facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the company, current and prospective portfolio
investments, the industry, beliefs and assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,”
“plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,”
“estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,”
and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are
not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond control
of the Company and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted
in the forward-looking statements, including:
●
future
operating results;
●
business
prospects and the prospects of portfolio companies;
●
changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest
rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets, including changes from the impact of the novel coronavirus
(SARS-CoV-2) and related respiratory disease pandemic (“COVID-19 pandemic”);
●
the
ability of KA Credit Advisors, LLC (our “Advisor”) to locate suitable investments and to monitor and administer
investments;
●
the
ability of the Advisor and its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals;
●
risk
associated with possible disruptions in operations or the economy generally;
●
the
timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of the companies in which the Company invests;
●
the
ability of the companies in which the Company invests to achieve their objectives, including as a result of the current COVID-19
pandemic;
●
the
ability of the Company to continue to effectively manage the business due to the disruptions caused by the current COVID-19
pandemic;
●
the
dependence of the future success on the general economy and its effect on the industries in which the Company invests;
●
the
ability to maintain qualification as a business development company (“BDC”) and as a regulated investment company
(“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);
●
the
use of borrowed money to finance a portion of the Company’s investments;
●
the
adequacy, availability and pricing of financing sources and working capital for the Company;
●
actual
or potential conflicts of interest with the Advisor and its affiliates;
●
contractual
arrangements and relationships with third parties;
●
the
current economic downturn, interest rate volatility, loss of key personnel, and the illiquid nature of investments of the
Company; and
●
the
risks, uncertainties and other factors the Company identifies under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Although
the Company believes that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of the assumptions
could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate.
In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this quarterly report
on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and
uncertainties include those described or identified in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere
in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only
as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, the Company assumes no duty and does not undertake to update the
forward-looking statements.

1. Organization
Organization
Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc. (the
“Company”) is an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected
to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940
Act”). In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”)
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The
Company was formed as a Delaware limited liability company in May 2018. Prior to February 5, 2021, the Company was devoting substantially
all of its efforts to establishing the business and conducted organizational and marketing efforts. The Company began incurring costs
related to these activities in the third quarter of 2020. The Company was formed to make investments in middle-market companies and commenced
operations on February 5, 2021. On this same date, prior to the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act,
the Company completed a conversion from a Delaware limited liability company into a Delaware corporation and Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc.
succeeded to the business of Kayne Anderson BDC, LLC. The Company has entered into subscription agreements with investors for an aggregate
capital commitment of $285,355 to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. See Note 11 – Subsequent Events.
KA
Credit Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) is an indirect subsidiary of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. (“KACALP”
or “Kayne Anderson”). The Advisor is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as
an investment advisor under the Investment Advisory Act of 1940. Subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s board
of directors (the “Board”), the Advisor is responsible for originating prospective investments, conducting research
and due diligence investigations on potential investments, analyzing investment opportunities, negotiating and structuring investments
and monitoring its investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. The Board consists of five directors, three of whom
are independent (including the Board’s chairperson).
The
Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation primarily through
debt investments in middle-market companies.
The
Company conducts private offerings of its Common Stock to investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). At the closing of any private offering, each investor
will make a capital commitment (a “Capital Commitment”) to purchase shares of its Common Stock (“Shares”)
pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with the Company. Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase Shares
up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments each time the Company delivers a notice to the investors. Following the
initial closing of the private offering (the “Initial Closing”) on February 5, 2021 and prior to any Liquidity Event
(as defined below), the Advisor may, in its sole discretion, permit one or more additional closings of the private offering. A
“Liquidity Event” is defined as (a) an initial public offering of Shares (the “Initial Public Offering”)
or the listing of Shares on an exchange (together with the Initial Public Offering, an “Exchange Listing”), (b) the
sale of the Company or (c) a disposition of the Company’s investments and distribution of the net proceeds (after repayment
of borrowed funds or other forms of leverage) to the Company’s investors.

(Unaudited)
Note
2. Significant Accounting Policies
A. Basis
of Presentation —the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company is an investment company and follows accounting and
reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 —
“Financial Services — Investment Companies.” In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal
recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair statement of the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented,
have been included.
B.
Consolidation —As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC Topic 946 – “Financial Services – Investment
Companies”, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly-owned investment
company or controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company
consolidated the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Kayne Anderson BDC Financing, LLC, (“KABDCF”),
in its consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
C. Use
of Estimates —the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ
materially from those estimates.
D. Cash
and Cash Equivalents —cash and cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments with an original maturity of three
months or less and include money market fund accounts.
E.
Investment Valuation, Fair Value —the Company conducts the valuation of its investments consistent with GAAP and the
1940 Act. The Company’s investments will be valued no less frequently than quarterly, in accordance with the terms of Topic
820 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures
(“ASC 820”).
Traded
Investments (Level 1 or Level 2)
Investments
for which market quotations are readily available will typically be valued at those market quotations. Traded investments such
as corporate bonds, preferred stock, bank notes, loans or loan participations are valued by using the bid price provided by an
independent pricing service, by an independent broker, the agent bank, syndicate bank or principal market maker. When price quotes
for investments are not available, or such prices are stale or do not represent fair value in the judgment of the Company’s
Advisor, fair market value will be determined using the Company’s valuation process for investments that are privately issued
or otherwise restricted as to resale.
The
Company may also invest, to a lesser extent, in equity securities purchased in conjunction with debt investments. While the Company
anticipates these equity securities to be issued by privately held companies, the Company may hold equity securities that are
publicly traded. Equity securities listed on any exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are
valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there
has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and ask prices on such day. Securities
admitted to trade on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Equity securities traded on more than one securities
exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the
exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market,
but excluding securities admitted to trading on the NASDAQ, are valued at the closing bid prices.

(amounts in 000’s, except share and per

(Unaudited)
Non-Traded Investments
(Level 3)
Investments
that are privately issued or otherwise restricted as to resale, as well as any security for which (a) reliable market quotations
are not available in the judgment of the Company’s Advisor, or (b) the independent pricing service or independent broker
does not provide prices or provides a price that in the judgment of the Company’s Advisor is stale or does not represent
fair value, shall each be valued in a manner that most fairly reflects fair value of the security on the valuation date. The Company
expects that a significant majority of its investments will be Level 3 investments. Unless otherwise determined by the Board,
the following valuation process is used for the Company’s Level 3 investments:
●
Investment
Team Valuation . The applicable investments are valued by senior professionals of Kayne Anderson who are responsible for
the portfolio investments. The value of each portfolio company or investment will be initially reviewed by the investment
professionals responsible for such portfolio company or investment and, for non-traded investments (i.e., illiquid
securities/instruments), a standardized template designed to approximate fair market value based on observable market inputs,
updated credit statistics and unobservable inputs will be used to determine a preliminary value. The investments will be valued
no less frequently than quarterly, with new investments valued at the time such investment was made.
●
Investment
Team Valuation Documentation . Preliminary valuation conclusions will be determined by the Company’s executive officers.
Such valuation and supporting documentation is submitted to the Audit Committee (a committee of the Board) and the Board on
a quarterly basis.
●
Audit
Committee . The Audit Committee meets to consider the valuations submitted by our executive officers at the end of each
quarter. Between meetings of the Audit Committee, the executive officers of the Company are authorized to make valuation determinations.
All valuation determinations of the Audit Committee are subject to ratification by the Board at its next regular meeting.
●
Valuation
Firm. Quarterly, third-party valuation firms engaged by the Board review the valuation methodologies and calculations employed
for each of the Company’s investments that the Company has placed on the “watch list” and approximately 25% of
its remaining investments. These third-party valuation firms will review all of the Level 3 investments at least once per year,
on a rolling twelve-month basis. The Company expects the quarterly report issued by these third-party valuation firms will assist
the Board in determining the fair values of the investments reviewed.
●
Board
Determination. The Company’s Board meets quarterly to consider the valuations provided by the Company’s executive
officers and the Audit Committee and ratify valuations for the applicable investments. The Company’s Board considers the report
provided by the third-party valuation firms in reviewing and determining in good faith the fair value of the applicable portfolio
investments.
The
Board of Directors will be ultimately responsible for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of our portfolio investments.
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our financial statements will
express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our financial
statements.
F. Interest
Income Recognition — Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts, amortization
of premiums and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. Discounts from and premiums to par value on investments purchased
are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. To the
extent loans contain PIK provisions, PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each applicable agreement, is
accrued and recorded as interest income and added to the principal balance of the loan. PIK interest income added to the principal
balance is generally collected upon repayment of the outstanding principal. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this
non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends for the year the income was earned, even though
the Company has not yet collected the cash. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for any accretion
of discounts, amortization of premiums and PIK interest.
12
Kayne
Anderson BDC, Inc.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
(amounts in 000’s, except share and per
share amounts)
(Unaudited)
Loans
are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there
is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when
a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied
to principal depending upon the Company’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status
when past due principal and interest are paid or there is no longer any reasonable doubt that such principal or interest will
be collected in full and, in the Company’s judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this
policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value (i.e., typically measured as enterprise value of the portfolio company) or
is in the process of collection.
G.
Debt Issuance Costs —Costs incurred by the Company related to the issuance of its debt (credit facilities) are capitalized
and amortized over the period the debt is outstanding. The Company has classified the costs incurred to issue its credit facilities
as a deduction from the carrying value of the credit facilities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the purpose of
calculating the Company’s asset coverage ratios pursuant to the 1940 Act, deferred issuance costs are not deducted from
the carrying value of debt or preferred stock.
H.
Dividends to Common Stockholders —Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount
to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Company’s board of directors each quarter and is generally based upon
the earnings estimated by management and considers the level of undistributed taxable income carried forward from the prior year
for distribution in the current year. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed, although the Company may
decide to retain such capital gains for investment.
I. Organizational
Costs —organizational expenses include costs and expenses relating to the formation and organization of the Company.
The Company has agreed to reimburse the Advisor for these costs which are expensed as incurred.
J. Offering
Costs —offering costs include costs and expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the Company’s common
stock. These initial costs are capitalized as deferred offering expenses and included in prepaid expenses and other assets on
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These costs are amortized over a twelve-month period beginning with the commencement
of operations. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with the Company’s
share offerings, the preparation of the Company’s registration statement and registration fees. The Company has agreed to
reimburse the Advisor for these costs.
K. Income
Taxes —it is the Company’s intention to continue to be treated as and to qualify each year for special tax treatment
afforded a RIC under the Code. As long as the Company meets certain requirements that govern its sources of income, diversification
of assets and timely distribution of earnings to stockholders, the Company will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
The
Company must pay distributions equal to 90% of its investment company taxable income (ordinary income and short-term capital gains)
to qualify as a RIC and it must distribute all of its taxable income (ordinary income, short-term capital gains and long-term
capital gains) to avoid federal income taxes. The Company will be subject to federal income tax on any undistributed portion of
income. For purposes of the distribution test, the Company may elect to treat as paid on the last day of its taxable year all
or part of any distributions that are declared after the end of its taxable year if such distributions are declared before the
due date of its tax return, including any extensions (September 15th).
All
RICs are subject to a non-deductible 4% excise tax on income that is not distributed on a timely basis in accordance with the
calendar year distribution requirements. To avoid the tax, the Company must distribute during each calendar year an amount at
least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its net capital gains for the
one-year period ending on December 31, the last day of our taxable year, and (iii) undistributed amounts from previous years on
which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax. A distribution will be treated as paid during the calendar year if it is paid
during the calendar year or declared by the Company in October, November or December, payable to stockholders of record on a date
during such months and paid by the Company during January of the following year. Any such distributions paid during January of
the following year will be deemed to be received by stockholders on December 31 of the year the distributions are declared, rather
than when the distributions are actually received.
The
Company does not currently qualify as a “publicly offered regulated investment company,” as defined in the Code. A
“publicly offered regulated investment company” is a RIC whose shares are either (i) continuously offered pursuant
to a public offering, (ii) regularly traded on an established securities market, or (iii) held by at least 500 persons
at all times during the taxable year. The Company cannot determine when it will qualify as a publicly offered RIC. If the Company
does not qualify as a publicly offered RIC during the tax year, a non-corporate shareholder’s allocable
portion of the Company’s affected expenses, including its management fees, will be treated as an additional distribution
to shareholders. A non-corporate shareholder’s allocable portion of these expenses are treated as miscellaneous
itemized deductions that are not currently deductible by such shareholders.
The
Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its financial statements to determine
whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority.
Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as
a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax
expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including,
but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

L. LIBOR
Transition — The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) has announced that certain London Interbank
Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) tenors in certain currencies will cease to be provided at the end of 2021 with all remaining
tenors ceasing in June 2023. Alternatives to LIBOR have been established, or are in development, in most major currencies including
the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) that is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Markets are slowly developing
in response to these new reference rates. Uncertainty exists related to the liquidity impact of the change in rates, and how to
appropriately adjust these rates at the time of transition. At this time, it is not possible to predict the full impact of the
elimination of LIBOR and the establishment of an alternative reference rate on the Company or its investments.
M. Commitments
and Contingencies —in the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that provide a variety of general
indemnifications. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements could involve future claims that may be made against the
Company. Currently, no such claims exist or are expected to arise and, accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liability
in connection with such indemnifications.
Note
3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions
A. Administration
Agreement —on February 5, 2021, the Company entered into an Administration Agreement with its Advisor, which serves as
its Administrator and will provide or oversee the performance of its required administrative services and professional services
rendered by others, which will include (but not limited to), accounting, payment of our expenses, legal, compliance, operations,
technology and investor relations, preparation and filing of its tax returns, and preparation of financial reports provided to
its stockholders and filed with the SEC.
The
Company will reimburse the Administrator for its costs and expenses incurred in performing its obligations under the Administration
Agreement, which may include its allocable portion of office facilities, overhead, and compensation paid to or compensatory distributions
received by its officers (including our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer) and its respective staff who provide
services to the Company. As the Company reimburses the Administrator for its expenses, the Company will indirectly bear such cost.
The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party with 60 days’ written notice.
B. Investment
Advisory Agreement —on February 5, 2021, the Company entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with its Advisor.
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement with its Advisor, the Company will pay its Advisor a fee for investment advisory
and management services consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee. The Advisor may, from time-to-time, grant waivers
on the Company’s obligations, including waivers of the base management fee and/or incentive fee, under the Investment Advisory
Agreement. The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated by either party with 60 days’ written notice.
The
Company has agreed to reimburse the Advisor and its affiliates for the third-party costs incurred on its behalf in connection
with the formation and the offering of shares of the Company’s common stock. Amounts shown as payables to affiliates on
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities represent organizational expenses and offering costs of the Company that were paid by
the Advisor and its affiliates on behalf of the Company.
Base
Management Fee
Prior
to an Exchange Listing, the base management fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 0.90% of the fair market value of the
Company’s investments including, in each case, assets purchased with borrowed funds or other forms of leverage, but excluding
cash, U.S. government securities and commercial paper instruments maturing within one year of purchase. After an Exchange
Listing, the base management fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% of the fair market value of the Company’s
investments. However, following an Exchange Listing, if borrowed funds or other forms of leverage utilized to finance the Company’s
investments is greater than a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.0x, the base management fee will be 1.00% of the fair
market value of the portion of the Company’s investments financed with borrowed funds or other forms of leverage above a 1.0x debt-to-equity ratio.
The
base management fee will be payable quarterly in arrears and calculated based on the average of the Company’s fair market
value of investments, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, including, in each case, assets purchased
with borrowed funds or other forms of leverage, but excluding cash, U.S. government securities and commercial paper instruments
maturing within one year of purchase. Base management fees for any partial quarter will be appropriately pro-rated.
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company incurred base management fees of $422 and $598, respectively.
Incentive
Fee
The
Company will also pay the Advisor an incentive fee. The incentive fee will consist of two parts—an incentive fee on income
and an incentive fee on capital gains. Described in more detail below, these components of the incentive fee will be largely independent
of each other with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not.

Incentive
Fee on Income
The
incentive fee based on income (the “income incentive fee”) is determined and paid quarterly in arrears in cash. The
Company’s quarterly pre-incentive fee net investment income must exceed a preferred return of 1.50% of the Company’s
NAV (6.0% annualized but not compounded) (the “Hurdle Amount”) in order for the Company to receive an income incentive
fee. The income incentive fee is calculated as follows:
●
Prior
to an Exchange Listing : 100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar
quarter in excess of 1.50% of the Company’s NAV until the Advisor has received 10% of the total pre-incentive fee net
income for that calendar quarter and, for pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of 1.6667%, 10% of all
remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income for that quarter.
●
After
an Exchange Listing : 100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately
preceding calendar quarter in excess of 1.50% of the Company’s NAV until the Advisor has received 15% of the total pre-incentive fee
net income for that calendar quarter and, for pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of 1.7647%, 15% of all
remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income for that quarter.
Incentive
Fee on Capital Gains
The
incentive fee on capital gains (the “capital gains incentive fee”) will be calculated and payable in arrears in cash
as follows:
●
Prior
to an Exchange Listing : 10.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from formation
through (a) the day before an Exchange Listing, (b) upon consummation of a Liquidity Event or (c) upon the
termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation
on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. For the purpose of computing
the capital gain incentive fee, the calculation methodology will look through derivative financial instruments or swaps as
if the Company owned the reference assets directly.
●
After
an Exchange Listing : 15.0% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from formation
through the end of a given calendar year or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, computed net of all realized
capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid
capital gain incentive fees.
Payment
of Incentive Fees
Prior
to an Exchange Listing, any incentive fees earned by the Advisor shall accrue as earned but only become payable in cash to the
Advisor upon consummation of an Exchange Listing. To the extent the Company does not complete an Exchange Listing, the incentive
fees will be payable to the Advisor (a) upon consummation of a sale of the Company or (b) once substantially all the
proceeds from a Company Liquidation payable to the Company’s stockholders have been distributed to such stockholders.
For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not incur any incentive fee on income or capital gains.
C. Other— KACALP,
an affiliate of the Advisor, made an equity contribution of $10 to the Company on December 18, 2018.
On
February 5, 2021, the Company purchased its initial portfolio of investments for $103,031 from an affiliate of the Company’s
Advisor (the “Warehousing Entity”). This purchase of its initial portfolio of investments was funded with a portion of the
proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock on this same date (5,666,667 shares of our common stock to investors at a
price of $15.00 per share for an aggregate offering price of $85,000) to investors and with borrowings under the Company’s credit
facility.
The
initial portfolio purchased from the Warehouse Entity consisted of 18 loans, with an average outstanding balance of $5,876, an average
purchase price of 97.4% of principal value and an average yield on that date of 8.8%. None of these loans in the initial portfolio were
in default or non-accrual status. All of the loans are senior secured and the borrowers are middle and upper middle market
companies. The purchase of the initial portfolio was completed before the Company elected to be treated as a business development company
under the 1940 Act. This initial acquisition and all related transactions are referred to as the “Formation Transactions.”

5. Fair Value
The
Fair Value Measurement Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 820) defines fair value as the price at which
an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would take place between market participants under current
market conditions at the measurement date. As required by ASC 820, the Company has performed an analysis of all investments measured
at fair value to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. Inputs are the assumptions,
along with considerations of risk, that a market participant would use to value an asset or a liability. In general, observable
inputs are based on market data that is readily available, regularly distributed and verifiable that the Company obtains from
independent, third-party sources. Unobservable inputs are developed by the Company based on its own assumptions of how market
participants would value an asset or a liability.
The
fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad
categories.
Level 1
— Valuations based on quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets traded on a national exchange
to which the Company has access at the date of measurement.
Level 2
— Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments
in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are
observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not
current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.
Level 3
— Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable
inputs are those inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset
or liability based on the best available information.
In
certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases,
the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given financial instrument is based
on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 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
following table presents the fair value hierarchy of investments as of June 30, 2021. Note that the valuation levels below are
not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment.

Valuation
Techniques and Unobservable Inputs
Non-traded debt investments
are typically valued using either a market yield analysis or an enterprise value analysis. For debt investments that are not determined
to be credit impaired, the Company uses a market yield analysis to determine fair value. If the debt investment is credit impaired (which
is determined by performing an enterprise value analysis), the Company will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis
to determine fair value. As of June 30, 2021, none of the Company’s non-traded debt investments were determined to be credit impaired,
and the Company used a market yield analysis to determine fair value on these investments.
To
determine the estimated market yield for our debt investments, the Company analyzes changes in the risk/reward (measured by yields
and leverage) of middle market indices as compared to changes in risk/reward for the underlying investment (the “Market
Approach”) and estimates the appropriate credit spread for such debt investment. In this context, the fair market value
of the investment is impacted by the structure and pricing of the security relative to current market yields and credit spreads
for similar investments in similar businesses as well as the financial performance of such business. In performing this analysis,
the Company considers data sources including, but not limited to: (i) industry publications, such as S&P Global’s High-End Middle
Market Lending Review; Thomson Reuter’s Refinitiv Middle Market Monthly Stats; CapitalIQ; Pitchbook News; The Lead Left,
and other data sources; (ii) comparable investments reviewed or completed by affiliates of the Advisor, and (iii) information
obtained and provided by the Advisor’s independent valuation managers.
To
determine if a debt investment is credit impaired, the Company estimates the enterprise value of the business and compares such
estimate to the outstanding indebtedness of such business. The Company utilizes the following valuation methodologies to determine
the estimated enterprise value of the company: (i) analysis of valuations of publicly traded companies in a similar line
of business (“public company analysis”), (ii) analysis of valuations of M&A transaction valuations for companies
in a similar line of business (“precedent transaction analysis”), (iii) discounted cash flows (“DCF analysis”)
and (iv) other valuation methodologies.
In
determining the non-traded debt investment valuations, the following factors are considered, where relevant: the nature
and realizable value of any collateral; the company’s ability to make interest payments, amortization payments (if any)
and other fixed charges; call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt security; the company’s historical
and projected financial results; the markets in which the company does business; changes in the interest rate environment and
the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be valued; and other relevant factors.
Under
all of these valuation techniques, the Company estimates operating results of the companies in which we invest, including earnings
before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and free cash flow. These estimates
utilize unobservable inputs such as historical operating results, which may be unaudited, and projected operating results, which
will be based on operating assumptions for such company. Investment performance data utilized will be the most recently available
as of the measurement date which in many cases may reflect up to a one quarter lag in information. These estimates will be sensitive
to changes in assumptions specific to such company as well as general assumptions for the industry. Other unobservable inputs
utilized in the valuation techniques outlined above include: discounts for lack of marketability, selection of publicly traded
companies, selection of similar precedent transactions, selected ranges for valuation multiples and expected required rates of
return (discount rates).

Loan
and Security Agreement
On February 5, 2021,
Kayne Anderson BDC Financing, LLC (“KABDCF”), a newly-formed, wholly-owned, special purposes financing subsidiary, entered
into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “LSA”) with certain lenders party thereto, administrative agent, and the Advisor as
collateral manager. The maximum commitment of the LSA is up to $150,000, and, subject to certain conditions, may be increased by $50,000
up to two times not to exceed $250,000. The Company did not pay an upfront fee for entering into the LSA. Advances under the facility
bear an interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.25% (subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor). In addition, if the Company terminates the LSA prior to February
5, 2022, there will be a 2.00% prepayment fee. The facility has a term of three years.
For the six months ended June
30, 2021, the average amount of borrowings outstanding under the LSA was $45,568 with a weighted average interest rate of 5.25%. As of
June 30, 2021, the Company had $50,000 outstanding under the LSA at a weighted average interest rate of 5.25%.

Credit Agreement
On February 5, 2021,
the Company entered into a $75,000 credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders party thereto. The Credit
Agreement is comprised of two sub-facilities: (i) a capital call facility (the “Subscription Facility”) and
(ii) a treasury facility (the “Treasury Facility”). The interest rate under the Subscription Facility is equal to LIBOR
plus 1.90% (subject to a 0.35% LIBOR floor) and the interest rate under the Treasury Facility is equal to LIBOR plus 0.20% (with no LIBOR
floor). The Subscription Facility will expire on December 31, 2022, and the Treasury Facility will expire on September 30, 2021.
The Credit Agreement allows
the Company to transfer the commitment amount under the Treasury Facility to the Subscription Facility. On March 2, 2021, $15,000 was
transferred from the Treasury Facility to the Subscription Facility. As of June 30, 2021, the Subscription Facility and Treasury Facility
had commitments of $40,000 and $35,000, respectively.
For the six months ended through
June 30, 2021, the average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement was $15,911 with a weighted average interest rate
of 2.26%. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $31,000 outstanding under the Credit Agreement at a weighted average interest rate of 2.25%.

of June 30, 2021, management was not aware of any material pending or threatened litigation that would require accounting recognition
or financial statement disclosure.
Note
9. Earnings Per Share
In
accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), basic earnings per share is
computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings
per share on a diluted basis. As of June 30, 2021, there were no dilutive shares.
The following table sets forth
the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021:

Total
return is calculated as the change in net asset value (“NAV”) per share during the period, plus distributions per share
(if any), divided by the beginning NAV per share. The calculation also assumes reinvestment of dividends at actual prices pursuant
to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total return is not annualized.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes and other financial
information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise specified, references to “we,”
“us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc.
Overview
Kayne
Anderson BDC, LLC was formed in May 2018 as a Delaware limited liability company. We were formed to make investments in middle-market
companies and commenced operations on February 5, 2021. On this same date, prior to our election to be regulated as a BDC
under the 1940 Act, we completed a conversion from a Delaware limited liability company into a Delaware corporation and Kayne
Anderson BDC, Inc. succeeded to the business of Kayne Anderson BDC, LLC. We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management
investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
we intend to qualify, annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.
We
are managed by KA Credit Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) which is an indirect subsidiary of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors,
L.P. (“KACALP” or “Kayne Anderson”). The Advisor is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisory Act of 1940. Subject to the overall supervision of
the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), the Advisor is responsible for originating prospective investments,
conducting research and due diligence investigations on potential investments, analyzing investment opportunities, negotiating
and structuring investments and monitoring its investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. The Board consists of
five directors, three of whom are independent.
Our
investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation primarily through debt investments
in middle-market companies. We define “middle-market companies” as U.S.-based companies that, in general, generate
between $10 million and $150 million of annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA.
We refer to companies that generate between $10 million and $50 million of annual EBITDA as “core middle-market
companies” and companies that generate between $50 million and $150 million of annual EBITDA as “upper middle-market
companies.”
We
intend to achieve our investment objective by investing primarily in first lien senior secured, unitranche and split-lien loans
to privately held middle-market companies. Similar to first lien senior secured loans, unitranche loans typically have a first
lien on all assets of the borrower, but provide leverage at levels similar to a combination of first lien and second lien and/or
subordinated loans. Split-lien loans are generally loans that otherwise satisfy the criteria of a first lien loan but which have
been structured with a credit facility that is senior in right of payment with respect to working capital assets of the borrower.
Depending on market conditions, we expect that between 80% and 90% of our portfolio (including investments purchased with proceeds
from borrowings) will be invested in first lien senior secured, unitranche and split-lien term loans. We expect that most of these
investments will be in core middle market companies, with the remainder in upper middle market companies. The remaining 10% to
20% of our portfolio will be invested in higher-yielding investments, including, but not limited to, second lien loans, last-out or subordinated loans, non-investment grade broadly
syndicated first and second lien loans (commonly referred to as “leveraged loans”), high-yield bonds, structured products
(including CLO liabilities), real estate related debt securities, equity securities purchased in conjunction with debt investments
and other opportunistic investments (collectively “Opportunistic Middle Market Investments”). We expect that the debt
we invest in will generally have state terms of five to six years.
We
intend to implement our investment objective by (1) accessing the established loan sourcing channels developed by Kayne Anderson,
which includes an extensive network of private equity firms, other middle-market lenders, financial advisors and intermediaries,
and experienced management teams, (2) selecting investments within our middle-market company focus, (3) implementing
Kayne Anderson’s middle market private credit team’s disciplined underwriting process, and (4) drawing upon the
experience and resources of our Advisor’s investment team and the broader Kayne Anderson network.
We
believe our Advisor’s disciplined approach to origination, credit analysis, portfolio construction and risk management should
allow us to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns while preserving investor capital. We anticipate the portfolio will be comprised
of a broad mix of loans, with diversity among investment size, industry focus and geography. The Advisor’s team of professionals
will conduct in-depth due diligence on prospective investments during the underwriting process and will be heavily involved in
structuring the loan’s terms. Once an investment has been made, our Advisor will closely monitor portfolio investments and
take a proactive approach identifying and addressing sector or company specific risks. The Advisor maintains a regular dialogue
with portfolio company management teams (as well as their financial sponsors), reviews detailed operating and financial results
on a regular basis (typically monthly or quarterly) and monitors current and projected liquidity needs, in addition to other portfolio
management activities. We believe this approach will help us generate more consistent results.
Recent Developments
On July 23, 2021, we sold 2.9 million shares of common stock at a price
of $15.72 per share for an aggregate offering price of $45 million. Just prior to the issuance of shares, we entered into subscription
agreements with investors for $82.4 million of additional capital commitments. Following this capital close, we have subscription agreements
with investors for an aggregate capital commitment of $367.7 million to purchase shares of common stock ($182.7 million of the commitments
are undrawn).
23
On June 14, 2021,
Michael J. Levitt notified our Board of Directors (the “Board”) of his decision to resign, effective immediately, from his
position as our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Levitt will continue to serve in his role as an interested director of the Company.
Mr. Levitt’s decision to resign was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s
operations, policies or practices.
On June 14, 2021,
in connection with Mr. Levitt’s resignation, the Board appointed Mr. James C. Baker as Chief Executive Officer, effective
immediately.
Portfolio
and Investment Activity
As of June 30, 2021, we had 82 debt investments in 61 portfolio companies

Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our
liquidity and capital resources are generated primarily from the net proceeds of any offering of our Shares, proceeds from borrowing
on our credit facilities and from cash flows from interest and fees earned from our investments and principal repayments and proceeds
from sales of our investments. Our primary use of cash will be investments in portfolio companies, payments of our expenses, repayments
of borrowed amounts and payment of cash distributions to our stockholders.
In
accordance with the 1940 Act, we are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness)
to total borrowings and other senior securities (and any preferred stock that we may issue in the future) of at least 150%. If
this ratio declines below 150%, we cannot incur additional leverage and could be required to sell a portion of our investments
to repay some leverage when it is disadvantageous to do so. As of June 30, 2021, our asset coverage ratio was 279%. We currently
intend to target asset coverage of 200% to 180% (which equates to a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.0x to 1.25x)
but may alter this target based on market conditions.
As of June 30, 2021, we had
$81 million borrowed under our credit facilities (the LSA and the Credit Agreement) and cash and cash equivalents of $8.2 million (including
short-term investments).
As of August 12, 2021, we had $50 million borrowed under our LSA; no
borrowings outstanding under our Credit Agreement, and cash and cash equivalents of $22.9 million (including short-term investments).
27
Capital
Contributions
During
the six months ended June 30, 2021, we issued and sold 9,199,767 shares related to capital called at an aggregate purchase price of $140
million. As of August 13, 2021, we had aggregate capital commitments of $367.7 million and undrawn capital commitments from investors
of $182.7 million ($185 million or 50.3% funded).
Credit
Facilities
On
February 5, 2021, Kayne Anderson BDC Financing, LLC, (“KABDCF”), our wholly owned, special purposes financing
subsidiary, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “LSA”) with certain lenders party thereto, administrative
agent, and our Advisor as collateral manager. The maximum commitment of the LSA is up to $150 million, and, subject to certain
conditions, may be increased by $50 million up to two times not to exceed $250 million. Advances under the facility
bear an interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.25% (subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor). The facility has a term of three years.
In
addition, on February 5, 2021, we entered into a $75 million credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain
lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement is comprised of two sub-facilities: (i) a capital call facility (the
“Subscription Facility”) and (ii) a treasury facility (the “Treasury Facility”). The interest rate
under the Subscription Facility will be equal to LIBOR plus 1.90% (subject to a 0.35% LIBOR floor) and the interest rate under
the Treasury Facility will be equal to LIBOR plus 0.20% (with no LIBOR floor). The Subscription Facility will expire on December 31,
2022, and the Treasury Facility will expire on September 30, 2021.
The
Credit Agreement allows us to transfer the commitment amount under the Treasury Facility to the Subscription Facility. On March 2, 2021,
$15 million was transferred from the Treasury Facility to the Subscription Facility. As of June 30, 2021, the Subscription Facility and
Treasury Facility had commitments of $40 million and $35 million, respectively.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters
used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Our critical accounting policies, including those relating
to the valuation of our investment portfolio, are described below. The critical accounting policies should be read in conjunction
with our risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and in this Quarterly
Report. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021, for more information
on our critical accounting policies.
Investment
Valuation
We
conduct the valuation of our investments consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act. Our investments are valued no less frequently
than quarterly, in accordance with the terms of Topic 820 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards
Codification, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”).
ASC
820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which ranks the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments
at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments and
their specific characteristics. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured
from quoted prices in active markets, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of
judgment applied in determining fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value into the following three broad categories.
Level 1
— Valuations based on quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets traded on a national exchange
to which the Company has access at the date of measurement.
Level 2
— Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments
in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are
observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not
current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.
Level 3
— Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable
inputs are those inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset
or liability based on the best available information.
In
certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases,
the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given financial instrument is based
on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 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.
28
Traded
Investments (Level 1 or Level 2)
Investments
for which market quotations are readily available will typically be valued at those market quotations. Traded investments such
as corporate bonds, preferred stock, bank notes, loans or loan participations are valued by using the bid price provided by an
independent pricing service, by an independent broker, the agent bank, syndicate bank or principal market maker. When price quotes
for investments are not available, or such prices are stale or do not represent fair value in the judgment of our Advisor, fair
market value will be determined using our valuation process for investments that are privately issued or otherwise restricted
as to resale.
We
may also invest, to a lesser extent, in equity securities purchased in conjunction with debt investments. While we anticipate
these equity securities to be issued by privately held companies, we may hold equity securities that are publicly traded. Equity
securities listed on any exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued, except as indicated
below, at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such
day, the securities are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and ask prices on such day. Securities admitted to trade on
the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Equity securities traded on more than one securities exchange are
valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing
the principal market for such securities. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market, but excluding securities
admitted to trading on the NASDAQ, are valued at the closing bid prices.
Non-Traded Investments
(Level 3)
Investments
that are privately issued or otherwise restricted as to resale, as well as any security for which (a) reliable market quotations
are not available in the judgment of our Advisor, or (b) the independent pricing service or independent broker does not provide
prices or provides a price that in the judgment of our Advisor is stale or does not represent fair value, shall each be valued
in a manner that most fairly reflects fair value of the security on the valuation date. We expect that a significant majority
of our investments will be Level 3 investments. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the following valuation process
is used for our Level 3 investments:
●
Investment
Team Valuation . The applicable investments are valued by senior professionals of Kayne Anderson who are responsible for
the portfolio investments. The value of each portfolio company or investment will be initially reviewed by the investment
professionals responsible for such portfolio company or investment and, for non-traded investments (i.e., illiquid
securities/instruments), a standardized template designed to approximate fair market value based on observable market inputs,
updated credit statistics and unobservable inputs will be used to determine a preliminary value. The investments will be valued
no less frequently than quarterly, with new investments valued at the time such investment was made.
●
Investment
Team Valuation Documentation . Preliminary valuation conclusions will be determined by our executive officers. Such valuation
and supporting documentation is submitted to the Audit Committee (a committee of our Board) and our Board on a quarterly basis.
●
Audit
Committee . The Audit Committee meets to consider the valuations submitted by our executive officers at the end of each
quarter. Between meetings of the Audit Committee, our executive officers are authorized to make valuation determinations.
All valuation determinations of the Audit Committee are subject to ratification by our Board at its next regular meeting.
●
Valuation Firm . Quarterly, third-party valuation firms engaged by our Board review the valuation methodologies and calculations employed for each of our investments that we have placed on the “watch list” and approximately 25% of our remaining investments. These third-party valuation firms will review all of the Level 3 investments at least once per year, on a rolling twelve-month basis. We expect the quarterly report issued by these third-party valuation firms will assist the Board in determining the fair values of the investments reviewed.
●
Board Determination . Our Board meets quarterly to consider the valuations provided by our executive officers and the Audit Committee and ratify valuations for the applicable investments. Our Board considers the report provided by the third-party valuation firms in reviewing and determining in good faith the fair value of the applicable portfolio investments.
The
Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of our portfolio investments.
29
Revenue
Recognition
We
record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. For loans and debt securities
with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance, we generally
will not accrue PIK interest for accounting purposes if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is not
collectible. We do not accrue as a receivable interest on loans and debt securities for accounting purposes if we have reason
to doubt our ability to collect such interest. OIDs, market discounts or premiums are accreted or amortized using the effective
interest method as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of June 30, 2021, we had an aggregate $21.6 million of unfunded commitments to provide debt financing to our portfolio companies. Such
commitments are generally subject to the satisfaction of certain financial and nonfinancial covenants and involve, to varying degrees,
elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in our financial statements. Other than contractual commitments and other
legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of our business, we do not have any other off-balance sheet financings or liabilities.

Party Transactions
Investment
Advisory Agreement . On February 5, 2021, we entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with our Advisor. Our Advisor
will agree to serve as our investment advisor in accordance with the terms of our Investment Advisory Agreement. Payments under
our Investment Advisory Agreement in each reporting period will consist of the base management fee equal to a percentage of the
fair market value of investments, including, in each case, assets purchased with borrowed funds or other forms of leverage, but
excluding cash, U.S. government securities and commercial paper instruments maturing within one year of purchase as well as an
incentive fee based on our performance.
For
services rendered under the Investment Advisory Agreement, we will pay a base management fee quarterly in arrears to our Advisor
based on the of the fair market value of our investments including, in each case, assets purchased with borrowed funds or other
forms of leverage, but excluding cash, U.S. government securities and commercial paper instruments maturing within one year of
purchase. We will also pay an incentive fee on income and an incentive fee on capital gains to our Advisor.
Prior
to an Exchange Listing, any incentive fees earned by the Advisor shall accrue as earned but only become payable in cash to the
Advisor upon consummation of an Exchange Listing. To the extent the Company does not complete an Exchange Listing, the incentive
fees will be payable to the Advisor (a) upon consummation of a sale of the Company or (b) once substantially all proceeds
from a Company Liquidation payable to the Company’s common stockholders have been distributed to such stockholders.
Administration
Agreement. On February 5, 2021, we entered into an Administration Agreement with our Advisor, which serves as our Administrator pursuant
to which the Administrator will furnish us with administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. The Administrator
will be reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on our behalf in performing its obligations. Such reimbursement may be made
for our allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of our independent directors) of office facilities, overhead, and compensation
paid to or compensatory distributions received by our officers (including our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer) and
their respective staff who provide services to us. As we reimburse the Administrator for its expenses, we will indirectly bear such cost.
The Administrator engaged U.S. Bank Global Fund Services under a sub-administration agreement to assist the Administrator in performing
certain of its administrative duties. The Administrator may enter into additional sub-administration agreements with third-parties to
perform other administrative and professional services on behalf of the Administrator.
On
February 5, 2021, we purchased our initial portfolio of investments for $103 million from an affiliate of our Advisor (the
“Warehousing Entity”) with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of common stock together with borrowings under
our credit facility.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We
are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and the valuations of our investment portfolio. Uncertainty
with respect to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and
the effects of this volatility has materially impacted and could continue to materially impact our market risks, including those
listed below.
Valuation
Risk. The majority of our portfolio investments take the form of securities for which no market quotations are readily
available. The fair value of securities and other investments that are not publicly traded may not be readily determinable, and
we value these securities at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors, including to reflect significant
events affecting the value of our securities. Most of our investments are classified as Level 3 under ASC Topic 820 which
means that our portfolio valuations are based on unobservable inputs and our own assumptions about how market participants would
price the asset or liability in question. Inputs into the determination of fair value of our portfolio investments require significant
management judgment or estimation. Because such valuations are inherently uncertain, they may fluctuate over short periods of
time and may be based on estimates. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been
used if a liquid trading market for these instruments existed. Our net asset value (“NAV”) could be adversely affected
if the determinations regarding the fair value of our investments were materially higher than the values that we ultimately realize
upon the disposal of such investments.
Interest
Rate Risk. We will be subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As a result, there can
be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment
income. We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward
contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest
rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments
with fixed interest rates.
Assuming
that the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2021 were to remain constant and that we took no actions to
alter our existing interest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact ($ in millions) of hypothetical base rate
changes in interest rate (considering interest rate floors for floating rate instruments).

4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of June 30, 2021 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of
the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required
to be disclosed in our periodic United States Securities and Exchange Commission filings is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and
that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls
and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment
in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART
II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings.
Neither
we nor our Advisor is currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding
threatened against us, or against our Advisor.
From
time to time, we, or our Advisor, may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings
relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings
cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition
or results of operations.
From
time to time we are involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. Our
businesses are also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us.
Item
1A. Risk Factors.
In
addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors described below and
in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,
including risk factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or
operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 are not the
only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial
also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
For the six months ended June
30, 2021, the Company issued and sold 9,201,129 shares (including dividend reinvestment) of its common stock at an aggregate purchase
price of $140 million. The issuance of the shares of common stock was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4 (a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereof. The Company
relied, in part, upon representations from the investors in the subscription agreements that each investor was an accredited investor
as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. We did not engage in general solicitation or advertising, and did not offer securities
to the public, in connection with such issuances and sales.
