−Removed: Distribution Policy
−Removed: We intend to make quarterly
−Removed: distributions to our stockholders.
−Removed: We also intend to elect to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.
−Removed: To obtain and maintain our RIC tax status, we would have to distribute at least the sum of 90% of our investment company taxable income
−Removed: (as defined by the Code, which generally includes net ordinary income and net short-term taxable gains), and 90% of our net tax-exempt interest income, if any, to our stockholders in respect of each taxable
−Removed: year, as well as satisfy other applicable requirements under the Code.
−Removed: In addition, we generally will be subject to a nondeductible U.S.
−Removed: federal excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which our distributions for a calendar year are less than the
−Removed: 98% of our net ordinary income, taking into account certain deferrals and elections, recognized during a calendar
−Removed: 98.2% of our capital gain net income, adjusted for certain ordinary gains and losses, recognized for the one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year;
−Removed: 100% of any undistributed amount by operation of such rule related to a prior calendar year.
−Removed: For these excise tax purposes, we will be deemed to have distributed any net ordinary taxable income or capital gain net income on
−Removed: which we have paid U.S.
−Removed: federal income tax.
−Removed: Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a calendar year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income for distribution in the following calendar year, and pay any applicable U.S.
−Removed: federal excise
−Removed: We cannot assure you that we will achieve results that will permit the payment of any dividends.
−Removed: See Item 1A.
−Removed: Risk Factors Risks Relating to Our Business and Structure .
−Removed: We also intend to distribute net capital gains (that is, net long-term capital gains in excess of net
−Removed: short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually out of the assets legally available for such distributions.
−Removed: However, we may decide in the future to retain such net capital gains for investment and elect to treat such gains as deemed
−Removed: distributions to you.
−Removed: If this happens, you will be treated for U.S.
−Removed: federal income tax purposes as if you had received an actual distribution of the net capital gains that we retain and you reinvested the
−Removed: net after-tax proceeds in us.
−Removed: In this situation, you would be eligible to claim a tax credit (or, in certain circumstances, a tax refund) equal to your allocable share of the tax we paid on the
−Removed: capital gains deemed distributed to you.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that we will achieve results that will permit us to pay any cash distributions and we will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so would cause us to fail to maintain the asset
−Removed: coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act.
−Removed: Distribution Reinvestment Plan
−Removed: We have adopted an opt-out dividend reinvestment plan that provides for the reinvestment of
−Removed: dividends and other distributions on behalf of our stockholders unless a stockholder elects to receive cash as provided below.
−Removed: As a result, if the Board of Directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash distribution, our stockholders who have not
−Removed: opted out of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in our Shares.
−Removed: No action would be required on the
−Removed: part of a registered stockholder to have his or her cash distribution reinvested in our Shares.
−Removed: A registered stockholder may elect to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying the plan administrator and our transfer agent and registrar in
−Removed: writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator no later than the record date for distributions to stockholders.
−Removed: The plan administrator will set up an account for each stockholder to acquire Shares
−Removed: in non-certificated form through the plan if such stockholders have not elected to receive their distributions in cash.
−Removed: Those stockholders who hold Shares through a broker or other financial
−Removed: intermediary may receive distributions in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.
−Removed: We would use primarily newly
−Removed: issued Shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan, with such Shares to be issued at NAV.
−Removed: The number of Shares to be issued to a stockholder is determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by
−Removed: the price per Share on the valuation date for such distribution.
−Removed: The number of shares to be outstanding after giving effect to payment of a distribution cannot be established until the value per share at which additional Shares will be issued has
−Removed: been determined and the elections of our stockholders have been tabulated.
−Removed: There will be no brokerage or other charges to stockholders who participate in
−Removed: The dividend reinvestment plan administrators fees under the plan will be paid by us.
−Removed: If a participant elects to sell part or all of his, her or its Shares held by the plan administrator and have the proceeds remitted to the
−Removed: participant, such request must first be submitted to the participants broker, who will coordinate with the plan administrator and is authorized to deduct a per-share brokerage commission from
−Removed: the sale proceeds.
−Removed: Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of Shares are generally subject to the same U.S.
−Removed: federal, state and local tax
−Removed: consequences as are stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in cash.
−Removed: However, since a participating stockholders cash dividends would be reinvested in Shares, such stockholder will not receive cash with which to pay applicable
−Removed: taxes on reinvested dividends.
−Removed: A stockholders basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of Shares received in a distribution from us will generally be equal to the cash that would have been received if the stockholder had received the
−Removed: distribution in cash, unless we issue new Shares at or above NAV, in which case the stockholders basis in the new Shares will generally be equal to its fair market value.
−Removed: Any Shares received in a distribution will have a new holding period for
−Removed: tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which such Shares are credited to the U.S.
−Removed: holders account.
−Removed: The dividend reinvestment plan
−Removed: will be terminable by us upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any distribution by us.
−Removed: Sales of Unregistered Securities
−Removed: In conjunction with our formation, Kayne Anderson purchased limited liability company interests in the Company of $10,000 on December 18, 2018.
−Removed: limited liability company interests were sold in reliance upon the available exemptions from registration requirements of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
−Removed: Tender Offers
−Removed: We are targeting an Exchange Listing in
−Removed: the next three to five years, and until such time, we do not currently intend to list our Shares on any securities exchange and do not expect a public market for them to develop in the foreseeable future.
−Removed: Therefore, stockholders should not expect to
−Removed: be able to sell their Shares promptly or at a desired price.
−Removed: To provide our stockholders with limited liquidity, in the future we may, in the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, conduct tender offers from time to time pursuant to a share
−Removed: repurchase program pursuant to which we will periodically make tender offers to purchase a percentage of our then outstanding Shares.
−Removed: Our tenders for Shares, if any, would be conducted on such terms as may be determined by our Board of Directors and

+Added: The following discussion and analysis should
+Added: be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere
+Added: in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: Overview and Investment Framework
+Added: Kayne Anderson BDC, LLC was formed in May
+Added: 2018 as a Delaware limited liability company.
+Added: We were formed to make investments in middle-market companies and commenced operations
+Added: on February 5, 2021.
+Added: On this same date, prior to our election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, we completed a conversion
+Added: from a Delaware limited liability company into a Delaware corporation and Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc.
+Added: succeeded to the business of Kayne
+Added: Anderson BDC, LLC.
+Added: We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected
+Added: to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.
In addition, for U.S.
−Removed: federal income tax purposes, we
−Removed: intend to elect to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.
−Removed: Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent,
−Removed: capital appreciation primarily through debt investments in middle-market companies.
−Removed: We define middle-market companies as U.S.-based companies that, in general, generate between $10 million and $150 million of annual earnings
+Added: federal income tax purposes, we intend to qualify, annually, as a
+Added: RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.
+Added: We are managed by KA Credit Advisors, LLC
+Added: (the “Advisor”) which is an indirect subsidiary of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P.
+Added: (“KACALP”
+Added: or “Kayne
+Added: Anderson”).
+Added: The Advisor is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment advisor
+Added: under the Investment Advisory Act of 1940.
+Added: Subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”),
+Added: the Advisor is responsible for originating prospective investments, conducting research and due diligence investigations on potential
+Added: investments, analyzing investment opportunities, negotiating and structuring investments and monitoring its investments and portfolio
+Added: companies on an ongoing basis.
+Added: The Board consists of five directors, three of whom are independent.
+Added: Our investment objective is to generate current
+Added: income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation primarily through debt investments in middle-market companies.
+Added: We define “middle-market
+Added: companies”
+Added: 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.
−Removed: 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
−Removed: $50 million and $150 million of annual EBITDA as upper middle-market companies.
−Removed: We intend to achieve our investment objective by
−Removed: investing primarily in first lien senior secured, unitranche and split-lien loans to privately held middle-market companies.
−Removed: Depending on market conditions, we expect that between 80% and 90% of our portfolio (including investments purchased with
−Removed: proceeds from borrowings) will be invested in first lien senior secured, unitranche and split-lien term loans.
−Removed: We expect that most of these investments will be in core middle market companies, with the remainder in upper middle market companies.
−Removed: 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
−Removed: 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),
−Removed: real estate related debt securities, equity securities purchased in conjunction with debt investments and other opportunistic investments (collectively Opportunistic Middle Market Investments).
−Removed: Our Advisor is an affiliate of Kayne Anderson.
−Removed: We intend to implement our investment objective by (1) accessing the established loan sourcing channels
−Removed: 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
−Removed: company focus, (3) implementing Kayne Andersons middle market private credit teams disciplined underwriting process, which includes reviewing environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations, and
−Removed: (4) drawing upon the experience and resources of our Advisors investment team and the broader Kayne Anderson network.
−Removed: We expect to conduct
−Removed: private offerings of our Shares to investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
−Removed: At the closing of any private offering, each investor will make a Capital Commitment to purchase Shares pursuant to a
−Removed: Subscription Agreement entered into with us.
−Removed: Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase Shares up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments each time we deliver a notice to the investors.
−Removed: Following the Initial Closing and
−Removed: prior to any Liquidity Event, our Advisor may, in its sole discretion permit one or more additional closings of the private offering.
−Removed: See Part 1Item 1.
−Removed: BusinessThe Private Offering .
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, we had not yet commenced operations.
+Added: We refer to companies that generate between $10 million and $50 million
+Added: of annual EBITDA as “core middle-market companies”
+Added: and companies that generate between $50 million and $150 million
+Added: of annual EBITDA as “upper middle-market companies.”
+Added: We intend to achieve our investment objective
+Added: by investing primarily in first lien senior secured, unitranche and split-lien loans (collectively, “secured middle market loans”)
+Added: to privately held middle-market companies.
+Added: Similar to first lien senior secured loans, unitranche loans typically have a first lien on
+Added: all assets of the borrower, but provide leverage at levels similar to a combination of first lien and second lien and/or subordinated
+Added: Split-lien loans are loans that otherwise satisfy the criteria of a first lien loan but which have been structured with a credit
+Added: facility that is senior in right of payment with respect to working capital assets of the borrower and a term loan that is collateralized
+Added: by all other assets of the borrower.
+Added: Depending on market conditions, we expect that at least 90% of our portfolio (including investments
+Added: purchased with proceeds from borrowings) will be invested in secured middle market loans.
+Added: It is anticipated that most of these investments
+Added: will be in core middle market companies, with the remainder in upper middle market companies.
+Added: The remaining 10% of our portfolio may be
+Added: invested in higher-returning investments, including, but not limited to, equity securities purchased in conjunction with secured middle
+Added: market loans and other opportunistic investments (collectively “Opportunistic Investments”), including junior debt, real estate
+Added: debt and infrastructure credit investments.
+Added: We expect that the secured middle market loans we invest in will generally have stated maturities
+Added: of no more than six years.
+Added: We intend to implement our investment objective
+Added: by (1) accessing the established loan sourcing channels developed by Kayne Anderson’s middle market private credit team, which
+Added: includes an extensive network of private equity firms, other middle-market lenders, financial advisors and intermediaries, and management
+Added: teams, (2) selecting investments within our middle-market company focus, (3) implementing Kayne Anderson’s middle market
+Added: private credit team’s proven underwriting process, and (4) drawing upon the experience and resources of our Advisor’s
+Added: investment team and the broader Kayne Anderson network.
+Added: We believe our Advisor’s disciplined approach to origination,
+Added: credit analysis, portfolio construction and risk management should allow us to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns while preserving
+Added: investor capital.
+Added: We anticipate the portfolio will be comprised of a broad mix of loans, with diversity among investment size, industry
+Added: focus and geography.
+Added: The Advisor’s team of professionals will conduct in-depth due diligence on prospective investments during the
+Added: underwriting process and will be heavily involved in structuring the credit terms of each investment.
+Added: Once an investment has been made,
+Added: our Advisor will closely monitor portfolio investments and take a proactive approach identifying and addressing sector or company specific
+Added: The Advisor maintains a regular dialogue with portfolio company management teams (as well as their financial sponsors, where applicable),
+Added: reviews detailed operating and financial results on a regular basis (typically monthly or quarterly) and monitors current and projected
+Added: liquidity needs, in addition to other portfolio management activities.

Investment Valuation
−Removed: We will conduct the
−Removed: valuation of our investments consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act.
−Removed: Our investments will be valued no less frequently than quarterly, in accordance with the terms of Topic 820 of the Financial Accounting Standards Boards Accounting Standards
−Removed: Codification, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (ASC 820).
−Removed: ASC 820 defines fair value as the price
−Removed: that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.
−Removed: assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available.
−Removed: For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available.
−Removed: However, the objective of a fair value
−Removed: measurement in both cases is the same to estimate the price when an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is,
−Removed: an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).
−Removed: ASC 820 establishes a
−Removed: hierarchal disclosure framework which ranks the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value.
−Removed: The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments and their
−Removed: specific characteristics.
−Removed: 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
−Removed: of judgment applied in determining fair value.
−Removed: The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad categories.
−Removed: Level 1Valuations based on quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets traded on a national exchange to which the
−Removed: Company has access at the date of measurement.
−Removed: Level 2Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets;
−Removed: prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active;
−Removed: and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
−Removed: Level 2 inputs are those in markets for
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Level 3 Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
−Removed: Unobservable inputs are
−Removed: those inputs that reflect the Companys own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.
−Removed: In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.
−Removed: In such cases, the determination of which
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair
−Removed: value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument.
−Removed: Traded Investments (Level 1 or
−Removed: Investments for which market quotations are readily available will typically be valued at those market quotations.
−Removed: 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
−Removed: 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
−Removed: issued or otherwise restricted as to resale.
−Removed: We may also invest, to a lesser extent, in equity securities purchased in conjunction with debt investments.
−Removed: While we anticipate these equity securities to be issued by privately held companies, we may hold equity securities that are publicly traded.

−Removed: Our Board considers the report provided by the third-party valuation firm in reviewing and determining in good faith the fair value of the applicable portfolio
−Removed: Valuation Techniques
−Removed: Non-traded debt investments are typically valued using an enterprise value analysis and/or a market interest rate yield
−Removed: The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine if a debt investment is credit impaired.
−Removed: If the debt investment is credit impaired, we will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value.
−Removed: For debt investments that are not determined to be credit impaired, we use a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value.
−Removed: We utilize the
−Removed: following valuation methodologies to determine the estimated enterprise value of the company:
−Removed: (i) analysis of valuations of publicly traded companies in a similar line of business (public company analysis), (ii) analysis of
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: To determine the estimated market interest rate yield for our debt investments, we analyze changes in the risk/reward (measured by yields and leverage) of
−Removed: middle market indices as compared to changes in risk/reward for the underlying investment.
−Removed: In this context, the fair market value of the investment is impacted by the structure and pricing of the security relative to current capital market
−Removed: conditions for similar investments in similar businesses.
−Removed: In doing this, we consider data sources including, but not limited to:
−Removed: (i) industry publications, such as S&P Globals High-End Middle
−Removed: Market Lending Review;
−Removed: Thomson Reuters Refinitiv Middle Market Monthly Stats;
−Removed: Pitchbook News;
−Removed: The Lead Left, and other data sources;
−Removed: (ii) comparable investments reviewed or completed by affiliates of the Advisor, and
−Removed: (iii) information obtained and provided by the Advisors independent valuation managers.
−Removed: In determining the
−Removed: non-traded debt investment valuations, the following factors are considered, where relevant:
−Removed: the nature and realizable value of any collateral;
−Removed: the companys ability to make interest payments,
−Removed: amortization payments (if any) and other fixed charges;
−Removed: call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt security;
−Removed: the companys historical and projected financial results;
−Removed: the markets in which the company does business;
−Removed: in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be valued;
−Removed: and other relevant factors.
−Removed: Equity investments in private companies are typically valued using one of or a combination of the following valuation techniques:
−Removed: (i) public company
−Removed: analysis, (ii) precedent transaction analysis and (iii) DCF analysis.
−Removed: Under all of these valuation techniques, we estimate operating results of the companies in which we invest,
−Removed: including earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and free cash flow.
−Removed: These estimates utilize unobservable inputs such as historical operating results, which may be unaudited, and
−Removed: projected operating results, which will be based on operating assumptions for such company.
−Removed: 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
−Removed: in information.
−Removed: These estimates will be sensitive to changes in assumptions specific to such company as well as general assumptions for the industry.
−Removed: Other unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation techniques outlined above include:
−Removed: 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).
+Added: Our Board meets quarterly
+Added: to consider the valuations provided by our executive officers and the Audit Committee and ratify valuations for the applicable investments.
+Added: Our Board considers the report provided by the third-party valuation firms in reviewing and determining in good faith the fair value
+Added: of the applicable portfolio investments.
+Added: The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible
+Added: for the determination, in good faith, of the fair value of our portfolio investments.

+Added: the Company’s valuation process.
Revenue Recognition
−Removed: We record interest income on
−Removed: an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.
−Removed: 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
−Removed: interest for accounting purposes if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is not collectible.
−Removed: We do not accrue as a receivable interest on loans and debt securities for accounting purposes if we have reason to doubt our
−Removed: ability to collect such interest.
−Removed: OIDs, market discounts or premiums are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method as interest income.
−Removed: We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income.
−Removed: Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
−Removed: We will measure net realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the
−Removed: investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized.
−Removed: Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation will reflect the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any
−Removed: reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.
−Removed: Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, syndication and prepayment fees associated with our investment activities as well
−Removed: as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by us to the portfolio companies.
−Removed: Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.
−Removed: We may receive fees for guaranteeing the outstanding debt of a portfolio company.
−Removed: Such fees are amortized into other income over the life of the guarantee.
−Removed: We may have investments in our portfolio that contain a PIK interest provision.
−Removed: Any PIK interest will be added to the principal balance of such investments and
−Removed: is recorded as income, if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is collectible.
−Removed: In order to maintain our status as a RIC, substantially all of this income must be included in the amounts paid out by us to stockholders in
−Removed: the form of dividends, even if we have not collected any cash.
−Removed: Organization and Offering Expenses
−Removed: In general, we may not deduct organizational expenses, and an election may be made by us to amortize organizational expenses over at least a 180-month period for tax purposes.
−Removed: For GAAP purposes, offering costs are amortized over a twelve-month period beginning with the commencement of operations.
