Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 6, 2014, the registrant issued a press release announcing its financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014. The text of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
The information disclosed under this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made under the Securities Act of 1933, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 6, 2014, the registrant announced that it intends to spin off certain "pure play" business strategies to its shareholders. The registrant initially intends on focusing its spinoff efforts on three separate companies consisting of portions of its (i) collateralized loan obligation ("CLO") structured credit business, (ii) online lending business, and (iii) real estate business. The size and likelihood of such spinoffs, which may be partial rather than complete spinoffs, remain to be determined. The registrant may seek to file non-registered investment company spinoffs with confidential treatment with parallel registration progress to be made in the coming weeks toward the goal of consummating these initial spinoffs in early 2015. The consummation of any of the spin-offs depends upon, among other things: market conditions, regulatory and exchange listing approval, and sufficient investor interest, and there can be no guarantee that the registrant will consummate any of these spin-offs.
