Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2018
1. Organization and Nature of Operations
Special Value Continuation Partners, LP (the “Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership, commenced operations on July 31, 2006 as an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). On April 2, 2012, the Partnership elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the 1940 Act. The Partnership’s investment objective is to achieve high total returns through current income and capital appreciation, with an emphasis on principal protection.
Investment operations are conducted either directly in the Partnership or in one of the Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiaries, TCPC Funding I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TCPC Funding”), and TCPC SBIC, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “SBIC”). The SBIC was organized in June 2013, and, on April 22, 2014, received a license from the United States Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) to operate as a small business investment company under the provisions of Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. The Partnership, TCPC Funding, and the SBIC invest primarily in the debt of middle-market companies, including senior secured loans, junior loans, mezzanine debt and bonds. Such investments may include an equity component, and, to a lesser extent, the Partnership, TCPC Funding, and the SBIC may make equity investments directly. The Partnership, TCPC Funding, and the SBIC have elected to be treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. TCP Capital Corp. (“TCPC”) owns the entire common limited partner interest in the Partnership. TCPC has also elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.
The general partner of the Partnership is Series H of SVOF/MM, LLC, which also serves as the administrator of both TCPC and the Partnership (the “Administrator” or the “General Partner”). The managing member of the General Partner is Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC, which serves as the Advisor to TCPC, the Partnership, TCPC Funding and the SBIC. All of the equity interests in the General Partner are owned directly by the Advisor.
Partnership management consists of the General Partner and the board of directors. The General Partner directs and executes the day-to-day operations of the Partnership subject to oversight from the board of directors, which performs certain functions required by the 1940 Act. The board of directors has delegated investment management of the Partnership’s assets to the Advisor. The board of directors consists of seven persons, five of whom are independent.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership include the accounts of the Partnership, TCPC Funding and the SBIC and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Partnership is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The Partnership has consolidated the results of its wholly owned subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 946. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Partnership.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Investment Valuation
Management values investments at fair value in accordance with GAAP, based upon the principles and methods of valuation set forth in policies adopted by the board of directors. Fair value is generally defined as the amount for which an investment would be sold in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
All investments are valued at least quarterly based on quotations or other affirmative pricing from independent third-party sources, with the exception of investments priced directly by the Advisor which in the aggregate comprise less than 5% of the capitalization of the Partnership. Investments listed on a recognized exchange or market quotation system, whether U.S. or foreign, are valued using the closing price on the date of valuation.
Investments not listed on a recognized exchange or market quotation system, but for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued using prices provided by a nationally recognized pricing service or by using quotations from broker-dealers.
Investments for which market quotations are either not readily available or are determined to be unreliable are priced at fair value using affirmative valuations performed by independent valuation services approved by the board of directors or, for investments aggregating less than 5% of the total capitalization of the Partnership, using valuations determined directly by the Advisor. Such valuations are determined under a documented valuation policy that has been reviewed and approved by the board of directors.
Pursuant to this policy, the Advisor provides recent portfolio company financial statements and other reporting materials to independent valuation firms as applicable, which firms evaluate such materials along with relevant observable market data to conduct independent appraisals each quarter, and their preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with senior management of the Advisor. The audit committee of the board of directors discusses the valuations, and the board of directors approves the fair value of the investments in good faith based on the input of the Advisor, the respective independent valuation firms as applicable, and the audit committee of the board of directors.
Generally, to increase objectivity in valuing the investments, the Advisor will utilize external measures of value, such as public markets or third-party transactions, whenever possible. The Advisor’s valuation is not based on long-term work-out value, immediate liquidation value, nor incremental value for potential changes that may take place in the future. The values assigned to investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, as these amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot reasonably be determined until the individual investments are actually liquidated. The foregoing policies apply to all investments, including any in companies and groups of affiliated companies aggregating more than 5% of the Partnership’s assets.
Fair valuations of investments in each asset class are determined using one or more methodologies including the market approach, income approach, or, in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. Such information may include observed multiples of earnings and/or revenues at which transactions in securities of comparable companies occur, with appropriate adjustments for differences in company size, operations or other factors affecting comparability.
The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present value amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The discount rates used for such analyses reflect market yields for comparable investments, considering such factors as relative credit quality, capital structure, and other factors.
In following these approaches, the types of factors that may be taken into account also include, as relevant: available

current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, merger and acquisition comparables, comparable costs of capital, the principal market in which the investment trades and enterprise values, among other factors.
Investments may be categorized based on the types of inputs used in valuing such investments. The level in the GAAP valuation hierarchy in which an investment falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation of the investment in its entirety. Transfers between levels are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.
At March 31, 2018, the Partnership’s investments were categorized as follows:

March 31, 2018
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued)
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date, except for private transactions that have conditions to closing, which are recorded on the closing date. The cost of investments purchased is based upon the purchase price plus those professional fees which are specifically identifiable to the investment transaction. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded based on the specific identification method, which typically allocates the highest cost inventory to the basis of investments sold.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of amounts held in accounts with brokerage firms and the custodian bank. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of generally three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 in the GAAP valuation hierarchy.
Restricted Investments
The Partnership may invest without limitation in instruments that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These instruments generally may be resold to institutional investors in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these investments may involve time-consuming negotiations and additional expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted investments is included at the end of the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Restricted investments, including any restricted investments in affiliates, are valued in accordance with the investment valuation policies discussed above.
Foreign Investments
The Partnership may invest in instruments traded in foreign countries and denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency denominated investments comprised approximately 0.6% and 0.6% of total investments at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Such positions were converted at the respective closing foreign exchange rates in effect at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and reported in U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, when they occur, are translated into U.S. dollars based on the foreign exchange rates in effect on the respective dates of such transactions. The portion of gains and losses on foreign investments resulting from fluctuations in foreign currencies is included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Investments in foreign companies and securities of foreign governments may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include, among other things, revaluation of currencies, less reliable information about issuers, different transaction clearance and settlement practices, and potential future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, investments in foreign companies and securities of foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.
Derivatives
In order to mitigate certain currency exchange and interest rate risks, the Partnership may enter into certain derivative transactions. All derivatives are subject to a master netting agreement and are reported at their gross amounts as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Transactions entered into are accounted for using the mark-to-market method with the resulting change in fair value recognized in earnings for the current period. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the
30

terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in interest rates and the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain derivatives may also require the Partnership to pledge assets as collateral to secure its obligations. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $0.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of cash was held as collateral and was included in cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Partnership exited its cross currency basis swap with a notional amount of $7.2 million. Gains and losses from derivatives during the three months ended March 31, 2018 were included in net realized and unrealized loss on investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:
Instrument | Realized Gains (Losses) | Unrealized Gains (Losses) | ||||||
Cross currency basis swap | $ | (726,950 | ) | $ | 603,745 | |||
There were no derivative transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2017, and, as of March 31, 2017, no derivatives were outstanding.
Valuations of derivatives are determined using observable market inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and, accordingly, are classified as Level 2 in the GAAP valuation hierarchy.
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs
Certain costs incurred in connection with the issuance and/or extension of debt of the Partnership and its subsidiaries were capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the respective instruments. The impact of utilizing the straight-line amortization method versus the effective-interest method is not material to the operations of the Partnership.
Revenue Recognition
Interest and dividend income, including income paid in kind, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees, including original issue discounts, earned with respect to capital commitments are generally amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment, as are end-of-term or exit fees receivable upon repayment of a debt investment. Other fees, including certain amendment fees, prepayment fees and commitment fees on broken deals, are recognized as earned. Prepayment fees and similar income due upon the early repayment of a loan or debt security are recognized when earned and are included in interest income.
Certain debt investments are purchased at a discount to par as a result of the underlying credit risks and financial results of the issuer, as well as general market factors that influence the financial markets as a whole. Discounts on the acquisition of corporate bonds are generally amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method assuming there are no questions as to collectability. When principal payments on a loan are received in an amount in excess of the loan’s amortized cost, the excess principal payments are recorded as interest income.
Income Taxes
The income or loss of the Partnership, TCPC Funding and the SBIC is reported in the respective partners’ income tax returns. Consequently, no income taxes are paid at the partnership level or reflected in the Partnership’s financial

statements. In accordance with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes, the Partnership recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the effect of a tax position when it is determined that such position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination. The tax returns of the Partnership, TCPC Funding and the SBIC remain open for examination by tax authorities for a period of three years from the date they are filed. No such examinations are currently pending.
Cost and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the Partnership’s investments (including derivatives) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:
March 31, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | ||||||
Unrealized appreciation | $ | 48,832,202 | $ | 40,379,148 | |||

Under this new pronouncement, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 applies to all entities and, for public entities, is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2018. Substantially all revenue streams are excluded from the scope of the new standard and the adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The more significant changes to the current GAAP model resulting from ASU 2016-01 include 1) elimination of the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, 2) requiring public entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes and 3) requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), which requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued)
On March 30, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities purchased at a premium, shortening the period to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, the “Final Rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies and business development companies. In part, the Final Rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X was August 1, 2017, and the Partnership has implemented the applicable requirements into this report, namely the standardized reporting of derivatives in the consolidated schedule of investments, disclosure of investments that had valuations which included certain unobservable inputs that were significant to the valuation as a whole and disclosure of realized gains/(losses) on controlled affiliated investments.
3. Management Fees, Incentive Compensation and Other Expenses
The Partnership’s management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of total assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) of TCPC on a consolidated basis as of the beginning of each quarter and is payable to the Advisor quarterly in arrears.
Incentive compensation is only paid to the extent that TCPC's total performance exceeds a cumulative 8% annual return since January 1, 2013 (the “Total Return Hurdle”). Beginning January 1, 2013, the incentive compensation equals 20% of net investment income and 20% of net realized gains (reduced by any net unrealized losses), subject to the Total Return Hurdle. The incentive compensation is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated as the difference between cumulative incentive compensation earned since January 1, 2013 and cumulative incentive compensation paid since January 1, 2013. On January 29, 2018, the Partnership amended and restated its limited partnership agreement (the "LPA"), effective as of January 1, 2018, to convert the existing incentive compensation structure from a profit allocation and distribution to the General Partner into a fee payable to the Advisor pursuant to the investment management agreements. The amendment has no impact on the amount of the incentive compensation paid or services received. A reserve for incentive compensation is accrued based on the amount of additional incentive compensation that would have been payable to the Advisor assuming a hypothetical liquidation of TCPC and the Partnership at net asset value on the balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no such reserve was accrued.
The Partnership bears all expenses incurred in connection with its business, including fees and expenses of outside contracted services, such as custodian, administrative, legal, audit and tax preparation fees, costs of valuing investments, insurance costs, brokers’ and finders’ fees relating to investments, and any other transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of investments.
4. Leverage
Leverage is comprised of amounts outstanding under a senior secured revolving, multi-currency credit facility issued by the Partnership (the “SVCP 2022 Facility”), amounts outstanding under a senior secured revolving credit facility issued by TCPC Funding (the “TCPC Funding Facility”) and debentures guaranteed by the SBA (the “SBA Debentures”). Prior to being replaced by the SVCP 2022 Facility on February 26, 2018, leverage included $116.0 million in available debt under a senior secured revolving credit facility issued by the Partnership (the “SVCP 2018 Facility”).

Outstanding leverage is carried at amortized cost in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of March 31, 2018, the estimated fair values of the SVCP 2022 Facility, the TCPC Funding Facility and the SBA Debentures approximated their carrying values. The estimated fair values of the SVCP 2022 Facility, the SVCP 2018 Facility, the TCPC Funding Facility and the SBA Debentures are determined by discounting projected remaining payments using market interest rates for borrowings of the Partnership and entities with similar credit risks at the measurement date. At March 31, 2018, the estimated fair values of the SVCP 2022 Facility, the TCPC Funding Facility and the SBA Debentures as prepared for disclosure purposes were deemed to be Level 3 in the GAAP valuation hierarchy.
SVCP 2022 Facility
The SVCP 2022 Facility consists of a revolving, multi-currency credit facility which provides for amounts to be drawn up to $100.0 million, subject to certain collateral and other restrictions. The SVCP 2022 Facility matures on February 28, 2022, subject to extension by the lenders at the request of the Partnership, and contains an accordion feature pursuant to which the credit line may increase up to an aggregate of $300.0 million, subject to consent from the applicable lenders and other customary conditions. Most of the cash and investments held directly by the Partnership, as well as the net assets of TCPC Funding and the SBIC, are included in the collateral for the facility.
Borrowings under the SVCP 2022 Facility generally bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%. In addition to amounts due on outstanding debt, the SVCP 2022 Facility accrues commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the facility, or 2.25% per annum on the unused portion that is greater than 60% of the total facility. The SVCP 2022 Facility may be terminated, and any outstanding amounts thereunder may become due and payable, should the Partnership fail to satisfy certain financial or other covenants. As of March 31, 2018, the Partnership was in full compliance with such covenants.
SVCP 2018 Facility
Prior to being replaced by the SVCP 2022 Facility on February 26, 2018, the SVCP 2018 Facility consisted of a senior secured revolving credit facility which provided for amounts to be drawn up to $116.0 million, subject to certain collateral and other restrictions. The SVCP 2018 Facility was originally set to mature on July 31, 2018. Advances under the SVCP 2018 Facility bore interest at an annual rate of 2.50% plus either LIBOR or the lender’s cost of funds (subject to a cap of LIBOR plus 20 basis points). In addition to amounts due on outstanding debt, the SVCP 2018 Facility accrued commitment fees of 0.20% per annum on the unused portion of the facility, or 0.25% per annum when less than $46.4 million in borrowings were outstanding.

SBA Debentures
As of March 31, 2018, the SBIC is able to issue up to $150.0 million in SBA Debentures, subject to funded regulatory capital and other customary regulatory requirements. As of March 31, 2018, the Partnership had committed $75.0 million of regulatory capital to the SBIC, all of which had been funded. SBA Debentures are non-recourse and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Once drawn, the SBIC debentures bear an interim interest rate of LIBOR plus 30 basis points. The rate then becomes fixed at the time of SBA pooling, which occurs twice each year, and is set to the then-current 10-year treasury rate plus a spread and an annual SBA charge.
SBA Debentures outstanding as of March 31, 2018 were as follows:

TCPC Funding Facility
The TCPC Funding Facility is a senior secured revolving credit facility which provides for amounts to be drawn up to $350.0 million, subject to certain collateral and other restrictions. The facility matures on April 26, 2021, subject to extension by the lender at the request of TCPC Funding.

As of March 31, 2018, TCPC Funding was in full compliance with such covenants.
5. Commitments, Contingencies, Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Partnership, TCPC Funding and the SBIC conduct business with brokers and dealers that are primarily headquartered in New York and Los Angeles and are members of the major securities exchanges. Banking activities are conducted with a firm headquartered in the San Francisco area.
In the normal course of business, investment activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various transactions resulting in receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers and the custodian. These activities may expose the Partnership to risk in the event that such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. Management does not anticipate any material losses from counterparties with whom it conducts business. Consistent with standard business practice, the Partnership, TCPC Funding and the SBIC enter into contracts that contain a variety of

6. Related Party Transactions
TCPC, the Partnership, TCPC Funding, the SBIC, the Advisor, the General Partner and their members and affiliates may be considered related parties. From time to time, the Partnership advances payments to third parties on behalf of TCPC which are reimbursable through deductions from distributions to TCPC. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no such amounts were outstanding. From time to time, the Advisor advances payments to third parties on behalf of the Partnership and receives reimbursement from the Partnership. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, amounts reimbursable to the Advisor totaled $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Pursuant to an administration agreements between the Administrator and the Partnership (the “Administration Agreement”), the Administrator may be reimbursed for costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator for office space rental, office equipment and utilities allocable to the Partnership, as well as costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator or its affiliates relating to any administrative, operating, or other non-investment advisory services provided by the Administrator or its affiliates to the Partnership. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, expenses allocated pursuant to the Administration Agreements totaled $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
7. Distributions
The Partnership’s distributions are recorded on the record date. The timing of distributions is determined by the General Partner, which has provided the Advisor with certain criteria for such distributions.
8. Subsequent Events
On April 17, 2018, the Advisor entered into a definitive agreement with BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock"), pursuant to which the Advisor will be merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock Capital Investment Advisors, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock (the “Transaction”), with the Advisor being the surviving entity after the merger. The closing of the Transaction would result in an assignment for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 of the investment management agreement between TCPC and the Advisor and the investment management agreement between the Partnership and the Advisor and, as a result, the immediate termination of such agreements. The consummation of the Transaction is subject to certain terms and conditions, including, among others, (i) the approval of a new investment management agreement between TCPC and the Advisor by the stockholders of TCPC and (ii) the approval of a new investment management agreement between the Partnership and the Advisor by the limited partners of the Partnership. The closing of the Transaction is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2018.
On May 9, 2018, TCPC’s board of directors declared a second quarter regular dividend of $[0.36] per share payable on June 29, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 15, 2018.

Overview
The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership formed on July 31, 2006 and is an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. On April 2, 2012, we elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Partnership’s investment objective is to seek to achieve high total returns through current income and capital appreciation, with an emphasis on principal protection. The Partnership invests primarily in the debt of middle-market companies and small businesses, including senior secured loans, junior loans, mezzanine debt and bonds, either directly or in one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TCPC Funding I, LLC (“TCPC Funding”) and TCPC SBIC, LP (the “SBIC”). Such investments may include an equity component, and, to a lesser extent, the Partnership may make equity investments directly. TCP Capital Corp. (“TCPC”) owns 100% of the common limited partner interests of the Partnership. TCPC has also elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The General Partner of the Partnership is Series H of SVOF/MM, LLC (“SVOF/MM”), which also serves as the administrator (the “Administrator”) of TCPC and the Partnership. The managing member of SVOF/MM is Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (the “Advisor”), which serves as the investment manager to both TCPC and the Partnership. The equity interests in the General Partner are owned directly by the Advisor. The Partnership has elected to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The SBIC was organized as a Delaware limited partnership in June 2013. On April 22, 2014, the SBIC received a license from the United States Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) to operate as a small business investment company under the provisions of Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958.
Our leverage program is comprised of $100.0 million in available debt under a revolving, multi-currency credit facility issued by the Partnership (the “SVCP 2022 Facility”), $350.0 million in available debt under a senior secured revolving credit facility issued by TCPC Funding (the “TCPC Funding Facility”), and $150.0 million in committed leverage from the SBA (the “SBA Program” and, together with the SVCP 2022 Facility and the TCPC Funding Facility, the “Leverage Program”).
Investments
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.
As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities and indebtedness of private U.S. companies, public U.S. operating companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, public domestic operating companies having a market capitalization of less than $250.0 million, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. We are also permitted to make certain follow-on investments in companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time of initial investment but that no longer meet the definition. As of March 31, 2018, 86.1% of our total assets were invested in qualifying assets.
Revenues
We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest on the debt we hold. We also generate revenue from dividends on our equity interests, capital gains on the disposition of investments, and certain lease, fee, and other income. Our investments in fixed income instruments generally have an expected maturity of three to five years, although we have no lower or upper constraint on maturity. Interest on our debt investments is generally payable quarterly or semi-annually. Payments of principal of our debt investments may be amortized over the stated term of the investment, deferred for several years or due entirely at maturity. In some cases, our debt investments and preferred stock investments may defer payments of cash interest or dividends or PIK. Any outstanding principal amount of our debt investments and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date.
46
In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of prepayment fees, commitment, origination, structuring or due diligence fees, end-of-term or exit fees, fees for providing significant managerial assistance, consulting fees and other investment related income.
Expenses
Our primary operating expenses include the payment of a base management fee and, depending on our operating results, incentive compensation, expenses reimbursable under the management agreement, administration fees and the allocable portion of overhead under the administration agreement. The base management fee and incentive compensation remunerates the Advisor for work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. Our administration agreement with Series H of SVOF/MM, LLC (the “Administrator”) provides that the Administrator may be reimbursed for costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator for office space rental, office equipment and utilities allocable to us under the administration agreement, as well as any costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator or its affiliates relating to any non-investment advisory, administrative or operating services provided by the Administrator or its affiliates to us. We also bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, which may include those relating to:
• | our organization; |
• | calculating our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firms); |
• | interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments; |
• | the base management fee and any incentive compensation; |
• | dividends and distributions on our preferred shares, if any; |
• | administration fees payable under the administration agreement; |
• | fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, making investments; |
• | transfer agent and custodial fees; |
• | registration fees; |
• | director fees and expenses; |
• | costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents with the SEC; |
• | costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to our common limited partner, including printing costs; |
• | our fidelity bond; |
• | directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums; |
• | indemnification payments; |
• | direct costs and expenses of administration, including audit and legal costs; and |
• | all other expenses reasonably incurred by us and the Administrator in connection with administering our business, such as the allocable portion of overhead under the administration agreement, including rent and other allocable portions of the cost of certain of our officers and their respective staffs. |
47
The investment management agreement provides that the base management fee be calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of our total assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) payable quarterly in arrears. For purposes of calculating the base management fee, “total assets” is determined without deduction for any borrowings or other liabilities. The base management fee is calculated based on the value of our total assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter.
Additionally, the investment management agreements provide that the Advisor or its affiliates may be entitled to incentive compensation under certain circumstances. According to the terms of such agreements, no incentive compensation was incurred prior to January 1, 2013. Beginning January 1, 2013, the incentive compensation equals the sum of (1) 20% of all of the ordinary income of TCPC since January 1, 2013 and (2) 20% of all net realized capital gains (net of any net unrealized capital depreciation) since January 1, 2013, with each component being subject to a total return requirement of 8% of contributed common equity of TCPC annually. Through December 31, 2017, the incentive compensation was payable to the General Partner by the Partnership pursuant to the limited partnership agreement (the "LPA"). Effective January 1, 2018, the LPA was amended to remove the incentive compensation distribution provisions therein, and the incentive compensation became payable as a fee under the investment management agreements. The amendment has no impact on the amount of the incentive compensation paid or services received by the Partnership. The determination of incentive compensation is subject to limitations under the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act.
Critical accounting policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Management considers the following critical accounting policies important to understanding the financial statements. In addition to the discussion below, our critical accounting policies are further described in the notes to our financial statements.
Valuation of portfolio investments
We value our portfolio investments at fair value based upon the principles and methods of valuation set forth in policies adopted by our board of directors. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset that (i) are independent of us, (ii) are knowledgeable, having a reasonable understanding about the asset based on all available information (including information that might be obtained through due diligence efforts that are usual and customary), (iii) are able to transact for the asset, and (iv) are willing to transact for the asset or liability (that is, they are motivated but not forced or otherwise compelled to do so).
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations unless the quotations are deemed not to represent fair value. We generally obtain market quotations from recognized exchanges, market quotation systems, independent pricing services or one or more broker-dealers or market makers. However, short term debt investments with remaining maturities within 90 days are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Debt and equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available, which is the case for many of our investments, or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, are valued at fair value using a consistently applied valuation process in accordance with our documented valuation policy that has been reviewed and approved by our board of directors, who also approve in good faith the valuation of such securities as of the end of each quarter. Due to the inherent uncertainty and subjectivity of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events may have differing impacts on the market quotations used to value some of our investments than on the fair values of our investments for which market quotations are not readily
available. Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value in certain circumstances where we believe that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser, or the market for a particular security cause current market quotations to not reflect the fair value of the security. Examples of these events could include cases where a security trades infrequently causing a quoted purchase or sale price to become stale, where there is a “forced” sale by a distressed seller, where market quotations vary substantially among market makers, or where there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread.
The valuation process approved by our board of directors with respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value is as follows:
• | The investment professionals of the Advisor provide recent portfolio company financial statements and other reporting materials to independent valuation firms approved by our board of directors. |
• | Such firms evaluate this information along with relevant observable market data to conduct independent appraisals each quarter, and their preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with senior management of the Advisor. |
• | The fair value of smaller investments comprising in the aggregate less than 5% of our total capitalization may be determined by the Advisor in good faith in accordance with our valuation policy without the employment of an independent valuation firm. |
• | The audit committee of the board of directors discusses the valuations, and the board of directors approves the fair value of the investments in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Advisor, the respective independent valuation firms (to the extent applicable) and the audit committee of the board of directors. |
Those investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in determining the fair value of our investments include, as relevant and among other factors: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, merger and acquisition comparables, our principal market (as the reporting entity) and enterprise values.
When valuing all of our investments, we strive to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Our investments may be categorized based on the types of inputs used in their valuation. The level in the GAAP valuation hierarchy in which an investment falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation of the investment in its entirety. Investments are classified by GAAP into the three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 — Investments valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
48
Level 2 — Investments valued using other unadjusted observable market inputs, e.g. quoted prices in markets that are not active or quotes for comparable instruments.
Level 3 — Investments that are valued using quotes and other observable market data to the extent available, but which also take into consideration one or more unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation taken as a whole.
As of March 31, 2018, less than 0.1% of our investments were categorized as Level 1, 6.1% were categorized as Level 2, 93.7% were Level 3 investments valued based on valuations by independent third party sources, and 0.1% were Level 3 investments valued based on valuations by the Advisor.
As of December 31, 2017, less than 0.1% of our investments were categorized as Level 1, 8.4% were categorized as Level 2, 91.4% were Level 3 investments valued based on valuations by independent third party sources, and 0.1% were Level 3 investments valued based on valuations by the Advisor.
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on the financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Interest and dividend income, including income paid in kind, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees, including original issue discounts, earned with respect to capital commitments are generally amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment, as are end-of-term or exit fees receivable upon repayment of a debt investment. Other fees, including certain amendment fees, prepayment fees and commitment fees on broken deals, are recognized as earned. Prepayment fees and similar income due upon the early repayment of a loan or debt security are recognized when earned and are included in interest income.
Certain of our debt investments are purchased at a discount to par as a result of the underlying credit risks and financial results of the issuer, as well as general market factors that influence the financial markets as a whole. Discounts on the acquisition of corporate bonds are generally amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method assuming there are no questions as to collectability. When principal payments on a loan are received in an amount in excess of the loan’s amortized cost, the excess principal payments are recorded as interest income.
Net realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation
We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
Portfolio and investment activity
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we invested approximately $169.1 million, comprised of new investments in six new and six existing portfolio companies, as well as draws made on existing commitments

Results of operations
Investment income
Investment income totaled $44.2 million and $39.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, of which $43.8 million and $38.8 million were attributable to interest and fees on our debt investments, $0.1 million and $0.1million to lease income and $0.3 million and $0.4 million to other income, respectively. Included in interest and fees on our debt investments were $1.7 million and $3.3 million of non-recurring income related to prepayments for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in investment income in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 reflects an increase in interest income due to the larger portfolio size during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, partially offset by a decrease in prepayment income.
Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $16.6 million and $10.4 million, respectively, comprised of $5.7 million and $4.9 million in base management and advisory fees, $5.4 million and $0.0 million in incentive fee expense, $4.1 million and $4.1 million in interest expense and related fees, $0.6 million and $0.6 million in administrative expenses, $0.2 million and $0.1 million in legal and professional fees, and $0.6 million and $0.7 million in other expenses, respectively. The increase in expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily reflects the inclusion of incentive fees within operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2018 instead of being reflected as an allocation and distribution to the General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in expenses also includes the increase in management fees due to the increase in assets in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Net investment income
Net investment income was $27.6 million and $29.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The decrease in net investment income in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily reflects the increase in expenses (primarily due to the inclusion of incentive fees beginning January 1, 2018), partially offset by the increase in investment income in the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Net realized and unrealized gain or loss
Net realized losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $0.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Net realized losses during the three months ended March 31, 2017 were comprised primarily of a $3.5 million loss realization on the restructuring of our loan to Avanti Communications Group and a $1.5 million loss on the disposition of our investment in Integra Telecom Holdings. Substantially all of the losses had been recognized on an unrealized basis in prior periods.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation was $6.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was comprised primarily of unrealized gains of $1.9 million on our investment in NEG Parent (CORE Entertainment), as well as various market gains resulting from generally tighter spreads. The change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was comprised primarily of the reversal of previously recognized unrealized losses as well as various market gains resulting from generally tighter spreads, partially offset by a $2.0 million markdown of Real Mex.
Net increase in net assets applicable to common limited and general partners resulting from operations
52
The net increase in net assets applicable to common limited and general partners resulting from operations was $33.2 million and $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The higher net increase in net assets applicable to common limited and general partners resulting from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018 is primarily due to the larger net realized and unrealized gain and higher investment income during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, partially offset by the higher operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Liquidity and capital resources
Since our inception, our liquidity and capital resources have been generated primarily through contributions from the common limited partner of the Partnership (which came from the initial private placement of common shares of Special Value Continuation Fund, LLC (TCPC’s predecessor entity) which were subsequently converted to common stock of TCPC), the net proceeds from the initial and secondary public offerings of TCPC, amounts outstanding under our Leverage Program, and cash flows from operations, including investments sales and repayments and income earned from investments and cash equivalents. The primary uses of cash have been investments in portfolio companies, cash distributions to our equity holders, payments to service our Leverage Program and other general corporate purposes.
Total leverage outstanding and available under the combined Leverage Program at March 31, 2018 were as follows:

On July 13, 2015, we obtained exemptive relief from the SEC to permit us to exclude debt outstanding under the SBA Program from our 200% asset coverage test under the 1940 Act. The exemptive relief provides us with increased flexibility under the 200% asset coverage test by permitting the SBIC to borrow up to $150.0 million more than it would otherwise be able to absent the receipt of this exemptive relief.
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $85.2 million. Our primary use of cash in operating activities during this period consisted of the settlement of acquisitions of investments (net of dispositions) of $95.4 million, partially offset by net investment income (net of non-cash income and expenses) of approximately $10.2 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, consisting primarily of $42.9 million of net borrowings of debt, reduced by $28.7 million in distributions to TCPC and payment of $1.9 million in debt issuance costs.
At March 31, 2018, we had $13.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.

The SVCP 2022 Facility and the TCPC Funding Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets in our portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents, and are subject to compliance with customary affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of a minimum shareholders’ equity, the maintenance of a ratio of not less than 200% of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness, and restrictions on certain payments and issuance of debt. Unfavorable economic conditions may result in a decrease in the value of our investments, which would affect both the asset coverage ratios and the value of the collateral securing the SVCP 2022 Facility and the TCPC Funding Facility, and may therefore impact our ability to borrow under the SVCP 2022 Facility and the TCPC Funding Facility. In addition to regulatory restrictions that restrict our ability to raise capital, the Leverage Program contains various covenants which, if not complied with, could accelerate repayment of debt, thereby materially and adversely affecting our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. At March 31, 2018, we were in compliance with all financial and operational covenants required by the Leverage Program.
Unfavorable economic conditions, while potentially creating attractive opportunities for us, may decrease liquidity and raise the cost of capital generally, which could limit our ability to renew, extend or replace the Leverage Program on terms as favorable as are currently included therein. If we are unable to renew, extend or replace the Leverage Program upon the various dates of maturity, we expect to have sufficient funds to repay the outstanding balances in full from our net investment income and sales of, and repayments of principal from, our portfolio company investments, as well as from anticipated debt and equity capital raises, among other sources. Unfavorable economic conditions may limit our ability to raise capital or the ability of the companies in which we invest to repay our loans or engage in a liquidity event, such as a sale, recapitalization or initial public offering. The SVCP 2022 Facility and the TCPC Funding Facility mature in February 2022 and April 2021, respectively. Any inability to renew, extend or replace the Leverage Program could adversely impact our liquidity and ability to find new investments or maintain distributions to our common limited partner.
Contractual obligations
In addition to obligations under our Leverage Program, we have entered into several contracts under which we have future commitments. Pursuant to an investment management agreement, the Advisor manages our day-to-day operations and provides investment advisory services to us. Payments under the investment management agreement are equal to a percentage of the value of our gross assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) and an incentive compensation, plus reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the Advisor. Under our administration agreement, the Administrator provides us with administrative services, facilities and personnel. Payments under the administration agreement are equal to an allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations to us, and may include rent and our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our officers and their respective staffs. We are responsible for reimbursing the Advisor for due diligence and negotiation expenses, fees and expenses of custodians, administrators, transfer and distribution agents, counsel and directors, insurance, filings and registrations, proxy expenses, expenses of communications to investors, compliance expenses, interest, taxes, portfolio transaction expenses, costs of responding to regulatory inquiries and reporting to regulatory authorities, costs and expenses of preparing and maintaining our books and records, indemnification, litigation and other extraordinary expenses and such other expenses as are approved by the directors as being reasonably related to our organization, offering, capitalization, operation or administration and any portfolio investments, as applicable. The Advisor is not responsible for any of the foregoing expenses and such services are not investment advisory services under the 1940 Act. Either party may terminate each of the investment management agreement and administration agreement without penalty upon not less than 60 days’ written notice to the other.
Distributions
Distribution to the common limited partner
Our quarterly distributions to our common limited partner are recorded on the record date. Distributions are declared considering our estimate of annual taxable income available for distribution and the amount of taxable
54
income carried over from the prior year for distribution in the current year. We do not have a policy to pay distributions at a specific level and expect to continue to distribute substantially all of our taxable income. We cannot assure the common limited partner that it will receive any distributions or distributions at a particular level.
The following table summarizes our distributions to our common limited partner for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:
Date Declared | Total Amount | |||
February 27, 2018 | $ | 28,575,846 | ||
Total for three months ended March 31, 2018 | $ | 28,575,846 | ||
February 28, 2017 | $ | 23,007,950 | ||
Total for three months ended March 31, 2017 | $ | 23,007,950 | ||
Distributions to the General Partner
Beginning January 1, 2018, incentive compensation is paid to the Advisor as a fee and included in operating expenses in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets rather than as an allocation and distribution to the General Partner within the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Incentive compensation included in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and as an allocation and distribution to the General Partner for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $5.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Incentive compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was paid due to TCPC's performance exceeding the total return threshold.
Related Parties
We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
• | Each of the Partnership, TCPC, TCPC Funding, and the SBIC has entered into an investment management agreement with the Advisor. |
• | The Administrator provides us with administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Administrator may be reimbursed by us for expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our officers and the Administrator’s administrative staff and providing, at our request and on our behalf, significant managerial assistance to our portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance. |
• | Pursuant to its limited partnership agreement, the general partner of the Partnership is Series H of SVOF/MM, LLC. SVOF/MM, LLC is an affiliate of the Advisor and certain other series and classes of SVOF/MM, LLC serve as the general partner or managing member of certain other funds managed by the Advisor. |
The Advisor and its affiliates, employees and associates currently do and in the future may manage other funds and accounts. The Advisor and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for one or more of those other funds or accounts. Accordingly, conflicts may arise regarding the allocation of investments or opportunities among us and those accounts. In general, the Advisor will allocate investment opportunities pro rata among us and the other funds and accounts (assuming the investment satisfies the objectives of each) based on the amount of committed capital each then has available. The allocation of certain investment opportunities in private placements is subject to independent director approval pursuant to the terms of the co-investment exemptive order applicable to us. In certain cases, investment opportunities may be made other than on a pro rata basis. For example, we may desire to retain an asset at the same time that one or more other funds or accounts desire to sell it or we may not have additional capital to invest at a time the other funds or accounts do. If the Advisor is unable to manage our investments effectively, we may be unable to achieve our investment objective. In addition, the Advisor may face conflicts in allocating investment opportunities between us and certain other entities that could impact our investment returns. While our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates is restricted under the 1940 Act, we have received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting certain affiliated investments subject to certain
conditions. As a result, we may face conflict of interests and investments made pursuant to the exemptive order conditions which could in certain circumstances affect adversely the price paid or received by us or the availability or size of the position purchased or sold by us.
Recent Developments
On April 17, 2018, the Advisor entered into a definitive agreement with BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock"), pursuant to which the Advisor will be merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock Capital Investment Advisors, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock (the “Transaction”), with the Advisor being the surviving entity after the merger. The closing of the Transaction would result in an assignment for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 of the investment management agreement between TCPC and the Advisor and the investment management agreement between the Partnership and the Advisor and, as a result, the immediate termination of such agreements. The consummation of the Transaction is subject to certain terms and conditions, including, among others, (i) the approval of a new investment management agreement between TCPC and the Advisor by the stockholders of TCPC and (ii) the approval of a new investment management agreement between the Partnership and the Advisor by the limited partners of the Partnership. The closing of the Transaction is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2018.
From April 1, 2018 through May 8, 2018, the Partnership has invested approximately $56.9 million primarily in three senior secured loans with a combined effective yield of approximately 11.5%.
On May 9, 2018, TCPC’s board of directors declared a second quarter regular dividend of $0.36 per share payable on June 29, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 15, 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. At March 31, 2018, 87.6% of debt investments in our portfolio bore interest based on floating rates, such as LIBOR, EURIBOR, the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate. The interest rates on such investments generally reset by reference to the current market index after one to six months. At March 31, 2018, the percentage of floating rate debt investments in our portfolio that bore interest based on an interest rate floor was 78.4%. Floating rate investments subject to a floor generally reset by reference to the current market index after one to six months only if the index exceeds the floor.
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. We assess our portfolio companies periodically to determine whether such companies will be able to continue making interest payments in the event that interest rates increase. There can be no assurances that the portfolio companies will be able to meet their contractual obligations at any or all levels of increases in interest rates.
Based on our March 31, 2018 balance sheet, the following table shows the annual impact on net investment income (excluding the related incentive compensation impact) of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments and the fact that our assets and liabilities may not have the same base rate period as assumed in this table) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:
Basis Point Change | Interest income | Interest Expense | Net Investment Income | |||||||||
Up 300 basis points | $ | 43,044,720 | $ | (10,739,850 | ) | $ | 32,304,870 | |||||
Up 200 basis points | 28,696,480 | (7,159,900 | ) | 21,536,580 | ||||||||

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the period covered by this report, we, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on our evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of material information about us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, are based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. There has not been any change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
