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 (1) the companies in which the Company invests to achieve their objectives and (2) the Company to continue to effectively manage the business due to disruptions, both of which are 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;
●

●
actual or potential conflicts of interest with the Advisor and its affiliates;
●
contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
●
the risk associated with an economic downturn, political instability, 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.
We have based the forward-looking statements included in this report
on information available to us on the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Although we undertake no obligation to
revise or update any forward-looking statements, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you

(1) As of March 31, 2022, all investments are non-controlled, non-affiliated investments. Non-controlled,
non-affiliated investments are defined as investments in which the Company owns less than 5% of the portfolio company’s outstanding
voting securities and does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company.
(2) The amortized cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums,
as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method.
(3) As of March 31, 2022, the tax cost of the Company’s investments approximates their amortized cost.
(4) Loan contains a variable rate structure, that may be subject to an
interest rate floor. Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate
(“LIBOR” or “L”) (which can include one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR), the Secured Overnight Funding Rate
(“SOFR” or “S”) (which can include one-, three- or six-month SOFR), or an alternate base rate (which can include
the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Prime Rate).
(5)
The Company may be entitled to receive additional
interest as a result of an arrangement with other lenders in the syndication. In exchange for the higher interest rate, the “last-out”
portion is at a greater risk of loss. Certain lenders represent a “first out” portion of the investment and have priority
to the “last-out” portion with respect to payments of principal and interest.
(6)
The Company owns 0.19% of the common equity
and 0.43% of the preferred equity of Vehicle Accessories, Inc.
(7)
The Company owns 0.53% of the common equity BLP Buyer, Inc. (Bishop Lifting Products).
(8) The Company owns 50% of a pass-through LLC, KSCF IV Equity Aggregator, LLC (the “Aggregator”),
which holds 500 Class A units of Siegel Parent, LLC. The Aggregator’s ownership of Siegel Parent, LLC is 1.14%. Through the Company’s
ownership of the Aggregator, the Company owns 250 Class A units of Siegel Parent, LLC.
(9) The indicated rate is the yield as of March 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2021, all investments are non-controlled, non-affiliated investments. Non-controlled, non-affiliated investments are defined as investments in which the Company owns less than 5% of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company.
(2)
The amortized cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method.
(3)
As of December 31, 2021, the tax cost of the Company’s investments approximates their amortized cost.
(4)
Loan contains a variable rate structure, that may be subject to an interest rate floor. Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”) (which can include one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR) or an alternate base rate (which can include the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Prime Rate).
(5)
The Company may be entitled to receive additional interest as a result of an arrangement with other lenders in the syndication. In exchange for the higher interest rate, the “last-out” portion is at a greater risk of loss. Certain lenders represent a “first out” portion of the investment and have priority to the “last-out” portion with respect to payments of principal and interest.
(6)
The Company owns 50% of a pass-through LLC, KSCF IV Equity Aggregator, LLC (the “Aggregator”), which holds 500 Class A units of Siegel Parent, LLC. The Aggregator’s ownership of Siegel Parent, LLC is 1.1442%. Through the Company’s ownership of the Aggregator, the Company owns 250 Class A units of Siegel Parent, LLC.
(7)
The indicated rate is the yield as of December 31, 2021.

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 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.
As of March 31, 2022,
the Company has entered into subscription agreements with investors for an aggregate capital commitment of $701,450 to purchase shares
of the Company’s common stock (including a $33,250 capital commitment that is contingent on the Company meeting certain conditions).
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 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.

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
subsidiaries, Kayne Anderson BDC Financing, LLC, (“KABDCF”) and KABDC Corp, LLC, 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.

(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.

(Unaudited)
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.
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 reimbursed 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 were
capitalized as deferred offering expenses and included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
These costs were 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 reimbursed 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 (October 15th).
18
Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(amounts in 000’s, except share and per
share amounts)
(Unaudited)
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, may be treated as an additional distribution to shareholders.
A non-corporate shareholder’s allocable portion of these expenses may be 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”) announced that certain London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) tenors
in certain currencies ceased 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 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. Although SOFR appears
to be the preferred replacement rate for LIBOR, at this time, it is not possible to predict the full effect of any such changes or any
establishment of alternative reference rates.
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, after completion
of our Exchange Listing, 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 months
ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred base management fees of $1,326 and $176, 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.

(Unaudited)
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 at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter (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 at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter 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 at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter 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% 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. 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% 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 months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred incentive
fees on income of $953 and on realized gains $2 (total of $955).
For the three months ended March 31, 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 amount 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.”

Note 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.

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 March 31, 2022, 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.
Equity investments in private
companies are typically valued using one of or a combination of the following valuation techniques: (i) public company analysis,
(ii) precedent transaction analysis and (iii) DCF analysis.
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).

Note 6. Debt
Subscription Credit Agreement
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had a $175,000
credit agreement (the “Subscription Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders party thereto. The Subscription Credit Agreement
permits the Company to borrow up to $175,000, subject to availability under the borrowing base which is calculated based on the unused
capital commitments of the investors meeting various eligibility requirements. The interest rate under the Subscription Credit Agreement
is equal to SOFR plus 1.975% (subject to a 0.275% SOFR floor). The Subscription Credit Agreement will expire on December 31, 2022.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and
2021, the average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Subscription Credit Agreement was $52,567 and $15,091, respectively, with
a weighted average interest rate of 2.25% and 2.28%, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $14,000 outstanding under the
Subscription Credit Agreement at a weighted average interest rate of 2.30%.
Loan and Security
Agreement
On February 18, 2022, the Company and Kayne Anderson
BDC Financing LLC (“KABDCF”) established two new credit facilities (described below) and fully repaid the $150,000 outstanding
balance on the Loan and Security Agreement (the “LSA”), which was entered into by KABDCF in February 2021. Advances under
LSA had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.25% (subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor).
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and
2021, the average amount of borrowings outstanding under the LSA were $82,667 and $38,236, respectively, with a weighted average interest
rate of 5.25% for both periods.

Corporate Credit Facility
On February 18, 2022, the Company entered
into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Corporate Credit Facility”), that has a total commitment of $275,000.
The Corporate Credit Facility’s commitment termination date and the final maturity date are February 18, 2026 and February 18, 2027,
respectively. The Corporate Credit Facility also provides for a feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase
the overall size of the Corporate Credit Facility to a maximum of $550,000. The interest rate on the Corporate Credit Facility is equal
to Term SOFR plus an applicable spread of 2.35% per annum (which includes a SOFR adjustment spread of 0.10%) or an “alternate base
rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Corporate Credit Facility) plus an applicable spread of 1.25%. The Company is
also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on any unused portion of the Corporate Credit Facility.
Under the Corporate Credit Facility, the Company
is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities,
including, without limitation, covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations
on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) maintaining a certain minimum stockholders’
equity, and (e) maintaining a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities not representing indebtedness) to total indebtedness
of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries of not less than 1.5:1.0. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions
that are described in the agreements governing the Corporate Credit Facility. Amounts available to borrow under the Corporate Credit Facility
are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets (based on their value
as determined pursuant to the Corporate Credit Facility) that are pledged as collateral. The Corporate Credit Facility is secured by certain
assets in the Company’s portfolio and excludes investments held by KABDCF under the Revolving Funding Facility (as defined below).
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the
average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Corporate Credit Facility was $36,400 with a weighted average interest rate of 2.48%.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $78,000 outstanding under the Corporate Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 2.58%.
Revolving Funding Facility
On February 18, 2022, the Company and KABDCF entered
into a senior secured revolving funding facility (the “Revolving Funding Facility”), that has a total commitment of $250,000.
The Revolving Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by KABDCF and the Company has agreed that it will not grant or allow
a lien on the membership interest of KABDCF. The end of the reinvestment period and the stated maturity date for the Revolving Funding
Facility are February 18, 2025 and February 18, 2027, respectively. The interest rate on the Revolving Funding Facility is equal to daily
SOFR plus 2.35% per annum. KABDCF is also required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.50% and 1.50% per annum depending on the size
of the unused portion of the Revolving Funding Facility. Amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Funding Facility are subject
to a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets held by KABDCF and is subject to limitations with
respect to the loans securing the Revolving Funding Facility, including restrictions on, loan size, payment frequency and status, as well
as restrictions on portfolio company leverage, all of which may also affect the borrowing base and therefore amounts available to borrow.
The Company and KABDCF are also required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for
similar facilities. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the agreements governing
the Revolving Funding Facility.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the
average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Funding Facility was $70,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 2.45%.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $150,000 outstanding under the Revolving Funding Facility at a weighted average interest rate of
2.62%.

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 March 31, 2022 and 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 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.
(5)
The ratios reflect an annualized amount, except in the case of non-recurring expenses (e.g. initial organizational expense of $175 for the period February 5, 2021 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2021).

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 and Investment Framework
Kayne Anderson BDC, LLC was formed as a Delaware
limited liability company 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 (collectively,
“secured middle market 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 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
and a term loan that is collateralized by all other assets of the borrower. Depending on market conditions, we expect that at least 90%
of our portfolio (including investments purchased with proceeds from borrowings) will be invested in secured middle market loans. It
is anticipated that most of these investments will be in core middle market companies, with the remainder in upper middle market companies.
The remaining 10% of our portfolio may be invested in higher-returning investments, including, but not limited to, equity securities
purchased in conjunction with secured middle market loans and other opportunistic investments (collectively “Opportunistic Investments”),
including junior debt, real estate debt and infrastructure credit investments. We expect that the secured middle market loans we invest
in will generally have stated maturities of no more than six years.
We
intend to implement our investment objective by (1) accessing the established loan sourcing channels developed by Kayne Anderson’s
middle market private credit team, which includes an extensive network of private equity firms, other middle-market lenders, financial
advisors and intermediaries, and management teams, (2) selecting investments within our middle-market company focus, (3) implementing
Kayne Anderson’s middle market private credit team’s proven 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 credit terms of each investment. 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, where applicable), 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.
Recent
Developments
On April 18, 2022, we completed our sixth capital
close totaling $80.2 million. Following this capital close, we have subscription agreements with investors for an aggregate capital commitment
of $761.7 million (including a $13.2 million capital commitment that is contingent on us meeting certain conditions) to purchase shares
of common stock ($393.6 million of the commitments are undrawn).
On April 26, 2022, we paid a distribution of $0.26
per share to each common stockholder of record as of April 20, 2022. The total distribution was $6.1 million and $1.2 million was reinvested
into the Company through the purchase of 74,084 shares of common stock.

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
March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our asset coverage ratios were 260% and 217%. 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.
Over the next twelve months, we expect that cash
and cash equivalents, taken together with our undrawn capital commitments and available capacity under our credit facilities, will be
sufficient for our investing activities to conduct our operations. In the long term beyond twelve months, we expect that our cash and
liquidity needs will continue to be met by cash generated from our ongoing operations as well as financing activities.
As of March 31, 2022,
we had $242.0 million borrowed under our credit facilities and cash and cash equivalents of $8.8 million (including short-term investments).
As of May 11, 2022, we had $296 million borrowed under our credit facilities and cash and cash equivalents of $3.8 million (including
short-term investments).
Capital
Contributions
During the three months
ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we issued and sold 4,191,292 and 5,666,667 shares, respectively, related to capital called at an aggregate
purchase price of $68.6 million and $85.0 million, respectively. As of May 11, 2022, we had aggregate capital commitments of $761.7 million
(including a $13.2 million capital commitment that is contingent on us meeting certain conditions) and undrawn capital commitments from
investors of $393.6 million ($368.1 million or 48.3% funded).
Credit
Facilities
From
February 5, 2021 to February 17, 2022, Kayne Anderson BDC Financing, LLC, (“KABDCF”), our wholly owned, special purpose financing
subsidiary, had a senior secured credit facility (the “Loan and Security Agreement” or “LSA”) with a maximum
commitment amount of up to $200 million. On February 18, 2022, we and KABDCF refinanced the LSA with two new credit facilities described
below (the Corporate Credit Facility and the Revolving Funding Facility).
Corporate
Credit Facility: We are party to a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Corporate Credit Facility”), that has
a total commitment of $275 million. The facility’s commitment termination date and the final maturity date are February 18, 2026
and February 18, 2027, respectively. The Corporate Credit Facility also provides for a feature that allows us, under certain circumstances,
to increase the overall size of the Corporate Credit Facility to a maximum of $550 million. The interest rate on the Corporate Credit
Facility is equal to Term SOFR plus an applicable spread of 2.35% per annum (which includes a SOFR adjustment spread of 0.10%) or an
“alternate base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Corporate Credit Facility) plus an applicable spread of
1.25%. We are also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on any unused portion of the Corporate Credit Facility.
38
Revolving
Funding Facility: We and our wholly owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, KABDCF, are party to a senior secured revolving
funding facility (the “Revolving Funding Facility”), that has a total commitment of $250 million. The Revolving Funding Facility
is secured by all of the assets held by, and the membership interest in, KABDCF. The end of the reinvestment period and the stated maturity
date for the Revolving Funding Facility are February 18, 2025 and February 18, 2027, respectively. The interest rate on the Revolving
Funding Facility is equal to daily SOFR plus 2.35% per annum. KABDCF is also required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.50% and 1.50%
per annum depending on the size of the unused portion of the Revolving Funding Facility.
Subscription
Credit Agreement: We are party to a senior secured revolving credit agreement that includes a capital call facility (the “Subscription
Credit Agreement”). The Subscription Credit Agreement permits us to borrow up to $175 million, subject to availability under the
borrowing base which is calculated based on the unused capital commitments of the investors meeting various eligibility requirements.
The Subscription Credit Agreement has a maximum commitment of $175 million and the interest rate under the facility is equal to Term
SOFR plus 1.975% (subject to a 0.275% floor). We are also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of
the Subscription Credit Agreement. The Subscription Credit Agreement will expire on December 31, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2022
and December 31, 2021, we had an aggregate $81.8 million and $97.8 million, respectively, 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.
Critical Accounting Estimates
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, 2021 and in this Quarterly Report. See Note 2 to our
consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022, for more information on our critical accounting policies.
39
Investment
Valuation
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.
Refer
to Note 5 – Fair Value – for more information on the Company’s valuation process.
40
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.
Related
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.

Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We
are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings
that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment
income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. 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.
Assuming
that the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2022 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).

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.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31,
2022 (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)
and 15d-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, 2021, 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, 2021 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.
Global economic, political and market conditions,
including uncertainty about the financial stability of the United States, could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
The current worldwide financial markets situation,
as well as various social and political tensions in the United States and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict,
terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health
epidemics), may contribute to increased market volatility, may have long term effects on the United States and worldwide financial markets,
and may cause economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide.
For example, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to
adversely impact global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets.
In addition, the rising conflict between Russia
and Ukraine, and resulting market volatility, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In response
to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against
Russia. The ongoing conflict and the rapidly evolving measures in response could be expected to have a negative impact on the economy
and business activity globally and could have a material adverse effect on our portfolio companies and our business, financial condition,
cash flows and results of operations. The severity and duration of the conflict and its impact on global economic and market conditions
are impossible to predict. In addition, sanctions could also result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions which could
adversely impact our business or the business of our portfolio companies, including, but not limited to, cyberattacks targeting private
companies, individuals or other infrastructure upon which our business and the business of our portfolio companies rely.
Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
As set forth in the table below (dollars in thousands,
except per share amounts), during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued and sold 4,191,292 shares of common stock at an aggregate

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.
