Item 1A.
Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Risk Factors
in the March 1, 2022 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report
are not the only risks facing our Company. 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.
Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes during the period ended March 31, 2022 to the risk factors discussed in Risk Factors in the March 1, 2022 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We may be unable to realize the benefits anticipated by the Mergers, including estimated cost savings, or
it may take longer than anticipated to achieve such benefits.
The realization of certain benefits anticipated as a result of the
Mergers will depend in part on the integration of SUNSs investment portfolio with ours and the integration of SUNSs business with our business. There can be no assurance that SUNSs investment portfolio or business can be operated
profitably or integrated successfully into our operations in a timely fashion or at all. The dedication of management resources to such integration may detract attention from the
day-to-day business of the combined company and there can be no assurance that there will not be substantial costs associated with the transition process or there will
not be other material adverse effects as a result of these integration efforts. Such effects, including incurring unexpected costs or delays in connection with such integration and failure of SUNSs investment portfolio to perform as expected,
could have a material adverse effect on the financial results of the combined company.
We expect to achieve certain synergies and cost
savings from the Mergers when the two companies have fully integrated their portfolios. It is possible that the estimates of these synergies and potential cost savings could ultimately be incorrect. The cost savings estimates also assume we will be
able to combine our operations and SUNSs operations in a manner that permits those cost savings to be fully realized. If the estimates turn out to be incorrect or if we are not able to successfully combine SUNSs investment portfolio or
business with our operations, the anticipated synergies and cost savings may not be fully realized or realized at all or may take longer to realize than expected.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine may have a material adverse impact on us and our portfolio companies.
On February 24, 2022, the Russian military commenced a full-scale invasion of
Russias pre-positioned forces into Ukraine, which could have a negative impact on the economy and business activity globally (including in the countries in which the Company invests), and
therefore could adversely affect the performance of the Companys investments. Following such invasion, the United

States and several European nations announced sanctions against Russia. Furthermore, the conflict between the two nations and the varying involvement of the United States and other NATO countries
could preclude prediction as to their ultimate adverse impact on global economic and market conditions, and, as a result, presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company and the performance of its investments or operations, and
the ability of the Company to achieve its investment objectives. Additionally, to the extent that third parties, investors, or related customer bases have material operations or assets in Russia or Ukraine, they may have adverse consequences
related to the ongoing conflict.
