Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Reduction of Offering Price

 

On August 8, 2014, the pricing committee of the Company agreed to reduce the offering price of its common stock in its continuous offering from $10.15 per share to $10.00 per share. The decision to reduce the offering price was made as a result of a recent reduction in the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock, which primarily resulted from unrealized depreciation in the market value of certain investments in the August 6, 2014 valuation of Company investments for the pricing committee. The reduction secondarily was a result of distributions made to date in excess of net investment income.

 

The Company also revised a previously declared distribution of $0.031084 that is payable on August 29, 2014 to stockholders of record on August 14, 2014. The new distribution amount is $0.030625 per share. The Company made the change to keep its distribution rate as a percentage of the offering price constant at 7.35% per annum.
