+Added: In May 2020, the SEC adopted rule amendments that will impact the requirement of investment companies, including BDCs, to disclose the financial statements of certain of their portfolio companies or acquired funds (the “Final Rules”).
+Added: The Final Rules adopted a new definition of “significant subsidiary” set forth in Rule 1-02(w)(2) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.
+Added: Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X require investment companies to include separate financial statements or summary financial information, respectively, in such investment company’s periodic reports for any portfolio company that meets the definition of “significant subsidiary.” The Final Rules amend the definition of “significant subsidiary” in a manner that is intended to more accurately capture those portfolio companies that are more likely to materially impact the financial condition of an investment company.
+Added: The Final Rules will be effective on January 1, 2021, but voluntary compliance is permitted in advance of the effective date.
+Added: The Company has elected to comply in advance of the effective date for the year ended December 31, 2020.
+Added: The adoption of this rule has an impact on the consolidated financial statements in that far fewer subsidiaries require disclosure under the Final Rules as compared to the previous rules.
+Added: As a result of the new definition of a “significant subsidiary” set forth in Rule 1-02(w)(2) the Company’s only “subsidiary” as of December 31, 2020, SPBRX, INC.

+Added: For comparability purposes the Company has omitted the previously disclosed summarized financial information of the Company’s significant subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2019 as the Company’s significant subsidiaries would not have been considered significant subsidiaries under the Final Rules.
