The Biden Administration has proposed significant changes to the existing U.S.

tax rules, and there are a number of proposals in Congress that would similarly modify the existing U.S.

The likelihood of any such legislation being enacted is uncertain, but new legislation and any U.S.

Any shares owned by our affiliates prior to our IPO, as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), are subject to the public information, manner of sale and volume limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

The remaining shares of our common stock that were outstanding upon the completion of the IPO are “restricted securities” under the meaning of Rule 144

promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold if such sale is registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration, including the exemption under Rule 144.

In addition, each of the directors, executive officers and certain shareholders are subject to additional transfer restrictions following the 180 day lock-up period (as described in more detail below).

First, each of our directors and officers and certain shareholders have agreed that they will not transfer their shares in accordance with the transfer restrictions provided for in the lock-up agreement with the underwriters for an additional 185 days beginning immediately after the expiration of the 180 day lock-up period (365 days in total from the date of the Prospectus), subject to certain exceptions.

Following the IPO and the expiration of applicable lock-up periods with the underwriters and subsequent transfer restriction periods with the Company for our directors, officers and certain of our stockholders of the outstanding shares of our common stock, and subject to applicable securities laws, including Rule 144, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices for our common stock.

If these sales occur, it could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities should we desire to do so.

We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of securities, or the availability of securities for future sales, will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time.

The market value of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

The market value and liquidity, if any, of the market for shares of our common stock may be significantly affected by numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance.

These factors include:

● changes in the value of our portfolio of investments and derivative instruments as a result of changes in market factors, such as interest rate shifts, and also portfolio specific performance, such as portfolio company defaults, among other reasons;

● changes in regulatory policies or tax guidelines, particularly with respect to RICs or BDCs;

● loss of RIC or BDC status;

● distributions that exceed our net investment income and net income as reported according to GAAP;

● changes in earnings or variations in operating results;

● changes in accounting guidelines governing valuation of our investments;

● any shortfall in revenue or net income or any increase in losses from levels expected by investors;

● departure of our Adviser or certain of its key personnel;

● general economic trends and other external factors;

● loss of a major funding source.

We expect our investments to be concentrated in technology-related industries, some of which are subject to extensive government regulation, which exposes us to the risk of significant loss if any of these industry sectors experiences a downturn.

Given the experience of RGC’s senior investment professionals within the technology space, a number of the companies in which we intend to invest operate in technology-related sectors.

As such, our investments may be subject to extensive regulation by U.S.

and foreign federal, state and/or local agencies.

Changes in existing laws, rules or regulations, or judicial or administrative interpretations thereof, or new laws, rules or regulations could have an adverse impact on the business and industries of our portfolio companies.

In addition, changes in government priorities or limitations on government resources could also adversely impact our portfolio companies.

We are unable to predict whether any such changes in laws, rules or regulations will occur and, if they do occur, the impact of these changes on our portfolio companies and our investment returns.

Furthermore, if any of our portfolio companies were to fail to comply with applicable regulations, they could be subject to significant penalties and claims that could materially and adversely affect their operations.

Our portfolio companies may be subject to the expense, delay and uncertainty of the regulatory approval process for their products and, even if approved, these products may not be accepted in the marketplace.

As of June 30, 2021, our investments in healthcare technology represented 28.26% of our portfolio at fair value.

Our investments in healthcare technology are subject to substantial risks, including, but not limited to, the risk that the laws and regulations governing the business of health care companies, and interpretations thereof, may change frequently.

Current or future laws and regulations could force our portfolio companies engaged in health care, to change their policies related to how they operate, restrict revenue, change costs, change reserve levels and change business practices.

Our portfolio companies operating in the human resources and employment services industry operate in a complex regulatory environment, and failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could adversely affect the business of our portfolio companies.

Certain of our portfolio companies that operate in the human resource industry are subject to a broad range of complex and evolving laws and regulations, including those applicable to payroll practices, benefits administration, employment practices, workers’ compensation coverage, and privacy.

Because our portfolio companies have clients with employees in many states throughout the United States, our portfolio companies must perform services in compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements of multiple jurisdictions.

Some of these laws and regulations may be difficult to ascertain or interpret and may change from time to time.

Violation of such laws and regulations could subject our portfolio companies to fines and penalties, damage their reputation, constitute a breach of client agreements, impair our portfolio companies’ ability to obtain and renew required licenses, and decrease our portfolio companies’ profitability or competitiveness.

If any of these effects were to occur, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
