To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Palmer Square Capital BDC Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and
liabilities, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of Palmer Square Capital BDC Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from January 23, 2020 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2020, including the
related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results
of its operations, changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from January 23,
2020 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated
financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part
of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned
as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers
or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(1) 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.
(2) Loan contains a variable rate structure, subject to an interest rate floor.
Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either a) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”
or “L”) (which can include one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR) or b) the CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”
or “S”) (which can include one-, three-, or six-month SOFR), which resets periodically based on the terms of the loan agreement.
At the borrower’s option, loans may instead reference an alternate base rate (which can include the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the
Prime Rate), which also resets periodically based on the terms of the loan agreements. Loans that reference SOFR may include a Credit
Spread Adjustment (“CSA”), where the CSA is a defined additional spread amount based on the tenor of SOFR the borrower selects
(making the reference rate S+CSA). For the holdings as of 12/31/21 that have S+CSA as the base rate, the CSA is 10bp for 1M SOFR, 15bp
for 3M SOFR, and 25bp for 6M SOFR. For the avoidance of doubt, loan floors apply to S+CSA, not S.
(3) 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.
(4) Non-qualifying investment as defined by Section 55(a) of
the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time of acquisition, qualifying
assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of December 31, 2021, 13.3% of the Company’s total assets
were in non-qualifying investments.
(5) Investments or a portion of investments are unsettled as
of December 31, 2021.
(6) As of December 31, 2021, the tax cost of the Company’s
investments approximates their amortized cost.
(7) Security or portion thereof held within Palmer Square BDC
Funding I, LLC (“PS BDC Funding”) and is pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under a revolving credit
facility with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA N.A.”) (see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements).
(8) Security or portion thereof held within Palmer Square BDC
Funding II, LLC (“PS BDC Funding II”) and is pledged as collateral supporting the amounts outstanding under a revolving credit
facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“WFB”) (see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements).
(9) 7-day effective yield as of December 31, 2021.
(10) Of the $3,765,060 commitment to RSC Acquisition, Inc., $3,237,952 was unfunded
as of December 31, 2021.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of
these consolidated financial statements.

Palmer Square Capital BDC Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Organization
Organization
Palmer Square Capital BDC
Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial services company that primarily lends to and invests in corporate debt securities of
companies, including small to large private U.S. companies. The Company was organized as a Maryland corporation on August 26, 2019 and
is structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated
as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
Beginning with its taxable year ending December 31, 2020, the Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”)
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1985, as amended (the “Code”) and expects to qualify as a RIC thereafter.
The Company commenced operations on January 23, 2020. Palmer Square BDC Funding I, LLC (“PS BDC Funding”) was formed on January
21, 2020 and entered into a senior, secured revolving credit facility with BofA N.A. Palmer Square BDC Funding II LLC (“PS BDC
Funding II”) was formed on September 8, 2020 and entered into a senior, secured credit facility with Wells Fargo, National Association.
The Company’s investment
objective is to maximize total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Company’s current investment focus
is guided by two strategies that facilitate its investment opportunities and core competencies: (1) investing in corporate debt securities
and, to a lesser extent, (2) investing in collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) structured credit funds that typically own
corporate debt securities, including the equity and junior debt tranches of CLOs. To a limited extent, the Company may enter into derivatives
transactions, which may utilize instruments such as forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors
to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of the Company’s portfolio positions from changes in currency exchange
rates and market interest rates or to earn income and enhance the Company’s total returns. The Company may receive or purchase
warrants or rights to acquire equity or other securities in connection with making a debt investment in a company. During the year ended
December 31, 2021 and the period January 23, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 2020, the Company did not invest
in any derivative contracts.
The Company is externally
managed by Palmer Square BDC Advisor LLC (the “Investment Advisor”), an investment adviser that is registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement
between the Company and the Investment Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Investment Advisor, in its capacity as administrator
(the “Administrator”), provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate pursuant to an administration
agreement between the Company and the Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”). The Company’s fiscal year ends
on December 31.
The Company has two wholly-owned
subsidiaries: PS BDC Funding, a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary established for utilizing the Company’s revolving credit
facility with BofA N.A., and PS BDC Funding II, a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary established for utilizing the Company’s
credit facility with Wells Fargo, National Association. These subsidiaries are consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Company is an investment
company and applies specific accounting and financial reporting requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies . The Company’s functional currency is U.S. dollars
(“USD”) and these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in that currency. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
and pursuant to Regulation S-X.
F- 23
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business,
the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Company’s
maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Company expects any risk of loss to be remote.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash is comprised of cash
on deposit with major financial institutions. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure.
Debt Issuance Costs
The Company records origination
and other expenses related to its debt obligations as deferred financing costs. These expenses are deferred and amortized over the life
of the related debt instrument. Debt issuance costs are presented on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as a direct
deduction from the debt liability. In circumstances in which there is not an associated debt liability amount recorded in the consolidated
financial statements when the debt issuance costs are incurred, such debt issuance costs will be reported on the consolidated statement
of assets and liabilities as an asset until the debt liability is recorded. As of December 31, 2020, the balance of deferred financing
costs was $2.1 million, included in BoA Credit Facility (as defined below), net of $393.2 million on the consolidated statement of assets
and liabilities. As of December 31, 2021, the balance of debt issuance costs was $2.1 million, representing deferred financing costs of
$3.4 million less accrued interest of $1.3 million, included in BoA Credit Facility and WF Credit Facility (each as defined below), net
of $649.9 million on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to
be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level
U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends.
To qualify as a RIC, the Company
must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment,
the Company must distribute to its stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income”
for that year, which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized
net long-term capital losses. In order for the Company not to be subject to U.S. federal excise taxes, it must distribute annually an
amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the
calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one year period ending October 31 in such calendar
year and (iii) any net ordinary income and capital gains in excess of capital losses for preceding years that were not distributed during
such years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% nondeductible
U.S. federal excise tax on this income.
The Company evaluates tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated 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.
F- 24
Interest and Dividend Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded
on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities
purchased are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the contractual life of the respective security using the
effective interest method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of premiums or
accretion of discounts, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination
fees, paydown gains/losses and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income in the current period.
Loans are generally placed
on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued 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 management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status
when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may
make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value
and is in the process of collection.
Dividend income on preferred
equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected
to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities and money market funds is recorded on the record date for private portfolio
companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies.
Other Income
From time to time, the Company
may receive fees for services provided to portfolio companies. These fees are generally only available to the Company as a result of
closing investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when
earned upon closing of the investment. The services that the Investment Advisor provides vary by investment, but can include closing,
work, diligence or other similar fees and fees for providing managerial assistance to the Company’s portfolio companies. In addition,
the Company may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees and possibly
consulting and performance- based fees.
Offering Costs
Offering costs in connection
with the offering of common stock of the Company are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis
over 12 months from the commencement of operations, January 23, 2020. These expenses consist primarily of legal fees and other costs
incurred with Company’s share offerings, the preparation of the Company’s registration statement, and registration fees.
Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change
in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation
The Company measures realized
gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment,
without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment
penalties. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting
period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued
Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on
Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted
accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference
LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December
31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04 on its consolidated financial statements.
F- 25
Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions
Administration Agreement
The Company has entered into
the Administration Agreement with the Administrator. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes office facilities
and equipment and provides clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, recordkeeping and other administrative services at such facilities. Under
the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or oversees the performance of, required administrative services, which include
being responsible for the financial and other records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to stockholders
and reports and other materials filed with the SEC. In addition, the Administrator assists the Company in determining and publishing
the Company’s net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports
and other materials to stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional
services rendered to the Company by others. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides managerial assistance
on the Company’s behalf to those portfolio companies that have accepted the offer to provide such assistance.
Under the Administration Agreement,
the Company reimburses the Administrator based upon its allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead (including rent) in performing
its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions
and the Company’s allocable portion of the cost of its officers (including the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief
Compliance Officer), and any of their respective staff who provide services to the Company, operations staff who provide services to the
Company, and internal audit staff, if any, to the extent internal audit performs a role in the Company’s Sarbanes-Oxley internal
control assessment. In addition, if requested to provide managerial assistance to portfolio companies, the Administrator is reimbursed
based on the services provided. The Administration Agreement has an initial term of two years and may be renewed with the approval of
the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). The agreement was renewed during the year for an additional one year
period. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other
party. To the extent that the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company pays the fees associated with such functions
on a direct basis without any incremental profit to the Administrator.
In addition, the Administrator
has, pursuant to a sub-administration agreement, engaged U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC to act on behalf of the Company’s Administrator
in the performance of certain other administrative services. The Company has also engaged U.S. Bank, National Association or its affiliates
(“US Bank”) directly to serve as custodian, transfer agent, distribution paying agent and registrar.
Investment Advisory Agreement
The Investment Advisor serves
as the investment adviser of the Company and is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Investment Advisor’s primary
business is to provide a variety of investment management services, including an investment program for the Company. The Investment Advisor
is responsible for all business activities and oversight of the investment decisions made for the Company.
In return for providing management
services to the Company, the Company pays the Investment Advisor a base management fee, calculated and paid quarterly in arrears at an
annual rate of 2.00% of the average value of the weighted average (based on the number of shares outstanding each day in the quarter)
of the Company’s total net assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The base management fee for
any partial quarter will be pro-rated based on the number of days actually elapsed in that quarter relative to the total number of days
in such quarter.
The Investment Advisor, however,
has agreed to waive its right to receive management fees in excess of 1.75% of the total net assets during any period prior to the listing
of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange (a “Listing”). If a Listing does not occur, such fee
waiver will remain in place through liquidation of the Company. The Investment Advisor will not be permitted to recoup any waived amounts
at any time and the waiver may only be modified or terminated prior to a Listing with the approval of the Board.
F- 26
Additionally, pursuant to
the Advisory Agreement, the Investment Advisor is not entitled to an incentive fee prior to a Listing. Following a Listing, the Investment
Advisor will be entitled to an incentive fee (the “Income Incentive Fee”) based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee
net investment income for the then most recently completed calendar quarter, as adjusted downward (but not upward) if over the most recently
completed and three preceding calendar quarters aggregate net realized losses on the Company’s investments exceed the Company’s
aggregate net investment income over the same period, excluding the most recently completed quarter, as described in more detail below.
In this regard, if the Company’s net realized losses over the most recently completed and three preceding calendar quarters are
greater than the Company’s net investment income over the same period, excluding the most recently completed quarter, then the
pre-incentive fee net income used in the calculation of the Income Incentive Fee would be subject to a downward adjustment. The amount
of the adjustment would be equal to the amount by which such net realized losses exceed such net investment income. On the other hand,
if the Company’s net investment income over the most recently completed and three preceding calendar quarters is equal to or greater
than the Company’s net realized losses over the same period, excluding the most recently completed quarter, then no adjustment
to pre-incentive fee net investment income would be made. The Income Incentive Fee will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears
commencing with the first calendar quarter following a Listing. The Company will pay the Investment Advisor an Income Incentive Fee with
respect to its “adjusted net investment income” in each calendar quarter as follows:
●
no
Income Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s “adjusted net investment income” does not exceed
an amount equal to a “hurdle rate” of 1.5% per quarter (6% annualized) of the Company’s total net assets at the
end of that quarter (the “Hurdle Amount”);
●
100% of the Company’s “adjusted net investment
income” with respect to that portion of such “adjusted net investment income,” if any, that exceeds the Hurdle
Amount but is less than or equal to an amount (the “Catch-Up Amount”) determined on a quarterly basis by multiplying
1.6875% by the Company’s total net asset value for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The Catch-Up Amount is intended
to provide the Investment Advisor with an incentive fee of 12.5% on all of the Company’s “adjusted net investment income”
when the Company’s “adjusted net investment income” reaches the Catch-Up Amount in any calendar quarter; and
●
for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s
“adjusted net investment income” exceeds the Catch-Up Amount, the Income Incentive Fee shall equal 12.5% of the amount
of the Company’s “adjusted net investment income” for the calendar quarter.
“Adjusted net investment
income” means the Company’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” during the then most recently completed
calendar quarter minus the difference, if positive, between (i) the Company’s “net realized losses” over the then most
recently completed and three preceding calendar quarters (or if shorter, the number of calendar quarters that have occurred since the
Listing) and (ii) the Company’s “net investment income” over the three preceding calendar quarters (or if shorter,
the number of calendar quarters that have occurred since the Listing). No adjustment (downward or upward) will be made to “pre-incentive
fee net investment income” if the difference between clause (i) minus clause (ii) is zero or negative.
“Pre-incentive fee net
investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination,
structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing
managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee,
any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock,
but excluding the Income Incentive Fee). “Pre-incentive fee net investment income” includes, in the case of investments with
a deferred interest feature such as market discount, original issue discount (“OID”), debt instruments with payment-in-kind
(“PIK”) interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero-coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not
yet received in cash.
F- 27
“Net realized losses”
in respect of a particular period means the difference, if positive, between (i) the aggregate realized capital losses on the Company’s
investments in such period and (ii) the aggregate realized capital gains on the Company’s investments in such period. “Net
investment income” in respect of the particular period means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any
other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio
companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the particular period, minus operating expenses for the
particular period (including the base management fee, the Income Incentive Fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement,
and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock). “Net investment income” includes, in the
case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, OID, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock
with PIK dividends and zero-coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash.
The Income Incentive Fee amount,
or the calculations pertaining thereto, as appropriate, will be pro-rated for any period less than a full calendar quarter.

Note 5. Fair Value of Investments
Fair value is defined as the
price that the Company would receive upon selling an investment or paying to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction to a market
participant in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. Accounting guidance emphasizes that valuation techniques
maximize the use of observable market inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Inputs refer broadly to the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable
or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability
developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the investment as of the measurement
date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations based on
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Valuations based on
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable at the measurement
date. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in non-active markets including actionable bids from third parties for privately held assets or liabilities, and
observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves and forward currency rates that are entered directly into valuation models
to determine the value of derivatives or other assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Valuations based on
inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date.
Investments in private investment
companies measured based upon net asset value as a practical expedient to determine fair value are not required to be categorized in the
fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020, there were no investments accounted for using the practical
expedient.
The inputs for the determination
of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and are based upon management’s assessment of the assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These investments include debt and equity investments in private
companies or assets valued using the market or income approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment
or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these
valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, beta and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. The information may also include pricing information or broker quotes, which include
a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing
and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3 information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.
Pricing inputs and weightings
applied to determine fair value require subjective determination. Accordingly, valuations do not necessarily represent the amounts that
may eventually be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments.
A financial instrument’s
categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Debt Not Carried at Fair Value
The fair value of the BoA Credit Facility and the WF Credit Facility, which
would be categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2021, approximates their respective carrying values
because the BoA Credit Facility and WF Credit Facility each have variable interest based on selected short term rates.
Note 6. Borrowings
In accordance with the 1940
Act, with certain limitations, BDCs are permitted to borrow amounts such that their asset coverage ratios, as defined in the 1940 Act,
are at least 150% after such borrowing. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s asset coverage ratio was 170%.
Bank of America Credit Facility
On February 18, 2020, the
Company, through a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary, PS BDC Funding (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered
into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain financial institutions as lenders (“Lenders”), BofA
N.A. as the Administrative Agent and BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA Securities”), as Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager, pursuant
to which the Lenders agreed to provide the Company with a revolving line of credit (the “BoA Credit Facility”).
Under the BoA Credit Facility,
which matures on February 18, 2025, the Lenders have agreed to extend credit to PS BDC Funding in an aggregate amount up to the Commitment
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) amount. The Commitment amount for the BoA Credit Facility was $200.0 million as of the closing date
of the Credit Agreement, increased to $400.0 million on the one-month anniversary of the closing date, further increased to $475.0 million
on October 12, 2020, and further increased to $725 million on September 29, 2021. The Borrowers’ ability to draw under the BoA Credit
Facility is scheduled to terminate on February 11, 2025. All amounts outstanding under the BoA Credit Facility are required to be repaid
by February 18, 2025. As the Company raises additional capital, we may enter into additional credit agreements to expand our borrowing
capacity.

31, 2020, was $433.1 million and $247.5 million, respectively.
The loans under the BoA Credit Facility may be base rate loans or eurocurrency
rate loans. The base rate loans will bear interest at the base rate plus 1.30%, and the eurocurrency rate loans will bear interest at
1-month or 3-month LIBOR plus 1.30%. The “base rate” will be equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus ½

unavailable. Interest pursuant to base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears, and interest pursuant to eurocurrency loans is payable
either quarterly or monthly, as specified by the Borrowers in a loan notice pertaining thereto. The Credit Agreement requires the payment
of a commitment fee of 0.50% for unused Commitments until the four-month anniversary of the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement.
Thereafter, the commitment fee is 0.50% on unused Commitments up to 30% of the BoA Credit Facility, and 1.30% on unused Commitments in
excess of 30% of the BoA Credit Facility. Such fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The advance rate for PS BDC Funding’s Eligible
Collateral Assets ranges from 40% for Second Lien Bank Loans to 70% for First Lien Bank Loans that are B Assets to 100% for Cash (excluding
Excluded Amounts) (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement).

Average debt outstanding under
the WF Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2021 and the period January 23, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) through December
31, 2020, was $13.9 million and $0, respectively.
The loans under the WF Credit Facility may be Broadly Syndicated Loans
or Middle Market Loans and shall be eurocurrency rate loans unless such rate is unavailable, in which case the loans shall be base rate
loans until such rate is available. Broadly Syndicated Loans will bear interest at the LIBOR or base rate, as applicable, plus 1.85%,
and Middle Market Loans will bear interest at LIBOR or base rate, as applicable, plus 2.35%. The “base rate” will be equal
to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (b) the prime rate. The Loan Agreement includes fallback language in the
event that LIBOR becomes unavailable. Interest is payable quarterly, as determined by the WFB as the administrative agent. Following the
Second Amendment of the WF Credit Facility, the Loan Agreement requires the payment of a non-usage fee of (x) during the first thirteen
months following the closing of the WF Credit Facility, 0.50% multiplied by daily unused Facility Amounts, (y) between thirteen and sixteen
months following the closing of the WF Credit Facility, 0.50% multiplied by the lesser of (1) daily unused Facility Amounts and (2) 50%
of the Facility Amount plus 2.00% multiplied by the greater of (i) the difference between the daily unused Facility Amount and 50% of
the Facility Amount and (ii) zero and, (z) thereafter, 0.50% multiplied by the lesser of (1) daily unused Facility Amounts and (2) 20%
of the Facility Amount plus 2.00% multiplied by the greater of (i) the difference between the daily unused Facility Amount and 20% of
the Facility Amount and (ii) zero. Such fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The WF Credit Facility includes the option to downsize the
facility by paying a Commitment Reduction Fee. The Fee is equal to 2.00% of the facility reduction amount prior to the one year anniversary
of the closing of the WF Credit Facility, and 1.00% thereafter. The applicable percentage for PS BDC Funding II’s Eligible Loans
ranges from 67.5% for Middle Market Loans to 70% for Broadly Syndicated Loans (as each such term is defined in the Loan Agreement).

Note 7. Share Transactions
Offering Proceeds
During the year ended December
31, 2021 and the period January 23, 2020 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 2020, the Company issued and sold 10,007,526
shares at an aggregate purchase price of $206.6 million and 12,562,805 shares at an aggregate purchase price of $238.6 million, respectively.
These amounts include shares issued in reinvestment.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
The Company has adopted a
dividend reinvestment plan that will provide for reinvestment of its dividends and other distributions on behalf of the Company’s
stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Company’s Board authorizes, and the Company declares,
a cash dividend or other distribution, then stockholders who do not “opt out” of the Company’s dividend reinvestment
plan will have their cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock,
rather than receiving cash dividends and distributions.
Prior to a Listing, the Board
will use newly-issued shares of the Company’s common stock to implement the dividend reinvestment plan. The number of shares of
common stock to be issued to a participant prior to a Listing would be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the cash value of
the dividend payable to such stockholder by the net asset value per share as of the date such dividend was declared.
After a Listing, the Board
intends to primarily use newly-issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment
plan, whether or not the shares are trading at a price per share at, below or above net asset value. However, the Board reserves the right
to purchase shares in the open market in connection with the implementation of the dividend reinvestment plan. The Board will examine
the full facts and circumstances of each such dividend to determine the approach (i.e., to use newly issued shares or effectuate open
market purchases to implement the dividend reinvestment plan) that is in the best interests of stockholders taking into account the Board’s
fiduciary duties to stockholders, including by weighing the potential dilution in connection with such issuance to be incurred by the
Company’s stockholders against the Company’s need and usage of reinvested funds. The number of newly issued shares to be issued
to a participant would be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the dividend payable to such stockholder by the market price
per share of the Company’s common stock at the close of regular trading on a national securities exchange on the dividend payment
date. Shares purchased in open market transactions by US Bank, the plan administrator and the Company’s transfer agent, registrar
and dividend disbursing agent, will be allocated to a participant based upon the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges
or other charges, of all shares of the Company’s common stock purchased with respect to the dividend.
A registered stockholder may
elect to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying US Bank in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator
no later than the record date for distributions to stockholders. The plan administrator will set up an account for shares acquired through
the plan for each stockholder who has not elected to receive dividends or other distributions in cash and hold such shares in noncertificated
form.
There will be no brokerage
charges or other charges to stockholders who participate in the plan. The plan administrator’s fees will be paid by the Company.
Stockholders who receive dividends
and other distributions in the form of stock are generally subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as are
stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in cash. However, since a participating stockholder’s cash dividends will
be reinvested, such stockholder will not receive cash with which to pay any applicable taxes on reinvested dividends. A stockholder’s
basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of stock received in a dividend or other distribution from the Company will generally
be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the stockholder. Any stock received in a dividend or other distribution
will have a new holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares are credited to the U.S.
stockholder’s account.
Participants may terminate
their accounts under the plan by so notifying the plan administrator by submitting a letter of instruction terminating the participant’s
account under the plan to US Bank. The plan may be terminated by the Company upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least
30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend by the Company.
If participants withdraw from
the plan or the plan is terminated, the plan administrator will cause the shares held for the participant under the plan to be delivered
to the participant. If an investor holds common stock with a brokerage firm that does not participate in the plan, such investor will
not be able to participate in the plan and any dividend reinvestment may be affected on different terms than those described above.
Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2021 and
December 31, 2020, the Company had an aggregate of $11.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of unfunded commitments to provide debt

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 each of December 31,
2021 and as of December 31, 2020, there were no dilutive shares.
The following table sets forth
the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the period January 23,
2020 (Commencement of Operations) through December 31, 2020:

Note 10. Income Taxes
The Company intends to elect to be treated as a RIC under the Internal
Revenue Code (“Code”) for its taxable year end December 31, 2021. As a RIC, the Company is not subject to federal income tax
on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed currently to its stockholders as a dividend. The Company anticipates distributing
substantially all of its taxable income and gains, within the Subchapter M rules, and thus the Company anticipates that it will not incur
any federal or state income tax at the RIC level. As a RIC, the Company is also subject to a federal excise tax based on distributive
requirements of its taxable income on a calendar year basis (e.g., calendar year 2021). Depending on the level of taxable income earned
in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and
pay a 4% excise tax on such income, to the extent required.
F- 35
The permanent differences
for tax purposes from distributable earnings to additional paid in capital were reclassified for tax purposes for the tax years ended
December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets.

The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic
740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) as of January 23, 2020, commencement of operations. ASC
740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated financial
statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s
tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.
The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be
sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. As of December 31, 2021, management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions,
and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Company’s
current year tax return. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, New York State, and New York City. The 2020
and 2021 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. federal, state and local authorities. Management’s determinations regarding
ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an ongoing analysis
of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
