They structure and invest in securities across the capital structure to meet the financing needs of companies that they believe are underserved by the commercial banking system, public capital markets and larger financial institutions. They are organized as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company. They are regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In addition, for tax purposes they expect to elect to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Its investment objectives are to generate both current income and capital appreciation through its debt and equity investments. In addition, they generate fee revenue related to its investments in the form of commitment, funding or other origination, structuring, due diligence and monitoring fees and prepayment penalties. They primarily make loans to and other investments in private (and to a lesser extent, public) middle-market companies, which they define as companies with annual revenues between $25 million and $500 million.
