FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) (including those relating to current and future market conditions and trends in respect thereof) that are not historical facts are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, opinions and/or beliefs of the Company, BCSF Advisors, LP (the “Advisor”) and/or Bain Capital Credit, LP and its affiliated advisers (collectively, “Bain Capital Credit”). Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. Certain information contained in this Quarterly Report constitutes “forward-looking statements,” which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “target,” or “believe” or the negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Due to various risks and uncertainties, actual events or results or the actual performance of the Company may differ materially from those reflected or contemplated in such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify in the section entitled Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, some of those assumptions may be based on the work of third parties and any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate; as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could prove to be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Quarterly Report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in the section entitled Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or any other information contained herein, except as required by applicable law. The safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which preclude civil liability for certain forward-looking statements, do not apply to the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report because we are an investment company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Bain Capital Specialty Finance, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on October 5, 2015 and commenced investment operations on October 13, 2016. The Company has elected to be treated and is regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes the Company has elected to be treated, and intends to operate in a manner so as to continuously qualify, as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing concurrently with its election to be treated as a BDC. The Company is externally managed by BCSF Advisors, LP (the “Advisor” or “BCSF Advisors”), our investment adviser that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Advisor also provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate (in such capacity, the “Administrator” or “BCSF Advisors”).

The Company’s primary focus is capitalizing on opportunities within its Advisor’s Senior Direct Lending Strategy, which seeks to provide risk-adjusted returns and current income to its stockholders by investing primarily in middle-market companies with between $10.0 million and $150.0 million in EBITDA. The Company focuses on senior investments with a first or second lien on collateral and strong structures and documentation intended to protect the lender. The Company may also invest in mezzanine debt and other junior securities and in secondary purchases of assets or portfolios, as described below. Investments are likely to include, among other things, (i) senior first lien, stretch senior, senior second lien, unitranche, (ii) mezzanine debt and other junior investments and (iii) secondary purchases of assets or portfolios that primarily consist of middle-market corporate debt. The Company may also invest, from time to time, in equity securities, distressed debt, debtor-in-possession loans, structured products, structurally subordinate loans, investments with deferred interest features, zero-coupon securities and defaulted securities.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 1, 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. These consolidated financial statements reflect adjustments that in the opinion of the Company are necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented herein and are not necessarily indicative of the full fiscal year. The Company has determined it meets the definition of an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 — Financial Services — Investment Companies. The functional currency of the Company is U.S. dollars and these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in that currency.

The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Basis of Consolidation

As provided under Regulation S-X and ASC 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly owned investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of its subsidiary BCSF I, LLC, which was formed on September 20, 2017, in its consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Since the Company is an investment company, portfolio investments held by the Company are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements. The portfolio investments held by the Company (including its investments held by consolidated subsidiaries) are included on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as investments at fair value. The Company does not consolidate its interest in Antares Bain Capital Complete Financing Solution LLC (together with ABC Complete Financing Solution LLC, “ABCS”). See further description of the Company’s investment in ABCS in Note 3.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company 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 and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Table of Contents

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. Market quotations are obtained from an independent pricing service, where available. If a price cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service or if the independent pricing service is not deemed to be current with the market, certain investments held by the Company will be valued on the basis of prices provided by principal market makers. Generally investments marked in this manner will be marked at the mean of the bid and ask of the independent broker quotes obtained. To validate market quotations, the Company utilizes a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value, subject at all times to the oversight and approval of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), based on, among other things, the input of the Advisor, the Company’s audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee) and one or more independent third party firms engaged by the Board.

With respect to unquoted securities, the Company will value each investment considering, among other measures, discounted cash flow models, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public and other factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Company will use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate and/or assist us in our valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty 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 the differences could be material.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Advisor will undertake a multi-step valuation process, which includes among other things, the below:

· The Company’s quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of the Advisor responsible for the portfolio investment or by an independent valuation firm;

· Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with the Company’s senior management and the Advisor. Agreed upon valuation recommendations are presented to the Audit Committee;

· The Audit Committee of the Board reviews the valuations presented and recommends values for each of the investments to the Board;

· At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment constituting a material portion of the Company’s portfolio will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm; and

· The Board will discuss valuations and determine the fair value of each investment in good faith based upon, among other things, the input of the Advisor, independent valuation firms, where applicable, and the Audit Committee.

In following this approach, the types of factors that are taken into account in the fair value pricing of investments include, as relevant, but are not limited to: comparison to publicly traded securities, including factors such as yield, maturity and measures of credit quality; the enterprise value of a portfolio company; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows; and the markets in which the portfolio company does business. In cases where an independent valuation firm provides fair valuations for investments, the independent valuation firm provides a fair valuation report, a description of the methodology used to determine the fair value and their analysis and calculations to support their conclusion. The Company determines the fair value of its investment in ABCS giving consideration to the assets and liabilities of ABCS, at fair value, including consideration of any necessary adjustments. The Company currently conducts this valuation process on a quarterly basis.

The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company determines the fair value of investments consistent with its valuation policy. The Company discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy which prioritizes and ranks the level of market observability used in the determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:

· Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

· Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Table of Contents

· Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuations of Level 2 investments are generally based on quotations received from pricing services, dealers or brokers. Consideration is given to the source and nature of the quotations and the relationship of recent market activity to the quotations provided.

Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfers occur. The Company evaluates the source of inputs used in the determination of fair value, including any markets in which the investments, or similar investments, are trading. When the fair value of an investment is determined using inputs from a pricing service (or principal market makers), the Company considers various criteria in determining whether the investment should be classified as a Level 2 or Level 3 investment. Criteria considered include the pricing methodologies of the pricing services (or principal market makers) to determine if the inputs to the valuation are observable or unobservable, as well as the number of prices obtained and an assessment of the quality of the prices obtained. The level of an investment within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment.

The value assigned to these investments is based upon available information and may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, it does not necessarily represent the amount that might ultimately be realized upon sale. Due to inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated fair value of investments may differ from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the security existed, and the difference could be material.

Securities Transactions, Revenue Recognition and Expenses

The Company records its investment transactions on a trade date basis. The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, using the specified identification method. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discount and premium to par value on investments acquired are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the life of the respective investment using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized and amortized against or accreted into interest income using the effective interest method or straight-line method, as applicable. For the Company’s investments in revolving bank loans, the cost basis of the investment purchased is adjusted for the cash received for the discount on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of commitments not completely funded may result in a negative value until it is offset by the future amounts called and funded. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premium, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discount are recorded as interest income.

Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Distributions received from a limited liability company or limited partnership investment are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital.

Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. Accrued PIK interest or dividends are generally reversed through interest or dividend income, respectively, when an investment is placed on non-accrual status.

Certain structuring fees and amendment fees are recorded as other income when earned. Administrative agent fees received by the Company are recorded as other income when the services are rendered.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

Table of Contents

Non-Accrual Loans

Loans or debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest generally is reversed when a loan or debt security is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans or debt securities may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans and debt securities are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid and, in management’s judgment, principal and interest payments are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this treatment if a loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no securities had been placed on non-accrual status.

Distributions

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be distributed, if any, is determined by the Board each quarter, and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by the Advisor. Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company may pay distributions to its stockholders in a year in excess of its net ordinary income and capital gains for that year and, accordingly, a portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This excess generally would be a tax-free return of capital in the period and generally would reduce the stockholder’s tax basis in its shares. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent; they are charged or credited to paid-in capital in excess of par, accumulated undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gain (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax treatment of certain loans and the tax characterization of income and non-deductible expenses.

The Company intends to timely distribute to its stockholders substantially all of its annual taxable income for each year, except that the Company may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and, depending upon the level of the Company’s taxable income earned in a year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income for distribution in the following year and incur applicable U.S. federal excise tax. The specific tax characteristics of the Company’s distributions will be reported to stockholders after the end of the calendar year. All distributions will be subject to available funds, and no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to declare such distributions in future periods.

The Company distributes net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually out of the assets legally available for such distributions. However, the Company may decide in the future to retain such capital gains for investment, incur a corporate-level tax on such capital gains, and elect to treat such capital gains as deemed distributions to stockholders.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for the reinvestment of cash dividends. Prior to the listing of the Company’s shares on a national securities exchange (a “Listing”), stockholders who “opt in” to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends and distributions.

Subsequent to a Listing, stockholders who do not “opt out” of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends and distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends and distributions.

Stockholders can elect to “opt in” or “opt out” of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan in their Subscription Agreements, as defined in Note 9. The elections of stockholders that make an election prior to a Listing shall remain effective after the Listing.

Segments

In accordance with ASC Topic 280 — Segment Reporting, the Company has determined that our operations comprise only a single reportable segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits held at custodian banks, and highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost or amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company may deposit its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions and, at certain times, such balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. Cash equivalents are presented separately on the consolidated schedules of investments.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. The fair values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated to U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates at the end of each business day. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at current exchange rates when accrued or incurred. Unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency holdings and non-investment assets and liabilities attributable to the changes in foreign currency exchange rates are included in the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation on the consolidated statements of operations. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency holdings and non-investment assets and liabilities attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the consolidated statements of operations. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that result from changes in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included in net realized gain (loss) on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company may enter into forward currency exchange contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. A forward currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such the Company recognizes the value of its derivatives at fair value on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities with changes in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency exchange contracts recorded on the consolidated statements of operations. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued using the prevailing forward currency exchange rate of the underlying currencies. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency exchange contracts are recorded on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. Cash collateral maintained in accounts held by counterparties is included in collateral on forward currency exchange contracts on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. Notional amounts and the gross fair value of forward currency exchange contracts assets and liabilities are presented separately on the consolidated schedules of investments.

Changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are recorded on the consolidated statements of operations in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency exchange contracts. Net realized gains and losses are recorded on the consolidated statements of operations in net realized gain (loss) on forward currency exchange contracts. Realized gains and losses on forward currency exchange contracts are determined using the difference between the fair market value of the forward currency exchange contract at the time it was opened and the fair market value at the time it was closed or covered. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company records costs related to issuance of debt obligations as deferred financing costs. These costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the stated maturity life of the obligation.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a RIC under the Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it will generally not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income or excise taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually as dividends to its stockholders. As a result, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company represents obligations of the Company’s stockholders and will not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the Code pertaining to RICs and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is required in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reversed and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes, if any, are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions on returns to be filed by the Company for all open tax years

Table of Contents

should be recorded. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdiction as the United States, and the Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2018, the tax years that remain subject to examination are from the year 2016 forward.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, “Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium by requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, as well as for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this change will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Significant Unobservable Inputs

ASC 820 requires disclosure of quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Disclosure of this information is not required in circumstances where a valuation (unadjusted) is obtained from a third-party pricing service and the information regarding the unobservable inputs is not reasonably available to the Company and as such, the disclosures provided below exclude those investments valued in that manner.

	As of June 30, 2018
	Fair Value of Level 3 Assets (1)		Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Range of Significant Unobservable Inputs (Weighted Average (2))
First Lien Senior Secured Loans	$	182,074,354	Discounted Cash Flows	Comparative Yields	6.4%-13.0% (8.1%)

Total investments	$	481,069,806

(1) Included within the Level 3 assets of $710,160,701 is an amount of $229,090,895 for which the Advisor did not develop the unobservable inputs for the determination of fair value (examples include single source quotation and prior or pending transactions).

(2) Weighted average is calculated by weighing the significant unobservable input by the relative fair value of each investment in the category.

(3) Represents equity investment in ABCS. The Company determines the fair value of its investment in ABCS giving consideration to the assets and liabilities of ABCS, at fair value, including consideration of any necessary adjustments. The fair value of the loans held by ABCS have been determined based upon recent transactions or the use of discounted cash flows, with comparative yields ranging from 7.8% to 10.3% and a weighted average of 9.1%. The carrying value of the ABCS Facility approximates fair value.

The Company used the income approach and market approach to determine the fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2018. The significant unobservable input used in the income approach is the comparative yield. The comparative yield is used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment. An increase/decrease in the comparative yield would result in a decrease/increase, respectively, in the fair value. The significant unobservable input used in the market approach is the comparable company multiple. The multiple is used to estimate the enterprise value of the underlying investment. An increase/decrease in the multiple would result in an increase/decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements of assets as of December 31, 2017 were as follows:

	As of December 31, 2017
	Fair Value of Level 3 Assets (1)		Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Range of Significant Unobservable Inputs (Weighted Average (2))
First Lien Senior Secured Loans	$	151,863,260	Discounted Cash Flows	Comparative Yields	3.3%-9.9% (7.6%)
First Lien Senior Secured Loans	1,837,216		Comparable Company Multiple	Book Value Multiple	1x-1x (1x)
First Lien Last Out Loans	20,256,052		Discounted Cash Flows	Comparative Yields	10.0%-10.0% (10.0%)
Second Lien Senior Secured Loans	48,767,181		Discounted Cash Flows	Comparative Yields	8.6%-12.5% (9.9%)
Equity Interest	8,263,092		Comparable Company Multiple	Book Value Multiple	1x-1x (1x)

Total investments	$	232,950,291

Table of Contents

(1) Included within the Level 3 assets of $520,713,602 is an amount of $287,763,311 for which the Advisor did not develop the unobservable inputs for the determination of fair value (examples include single source quotation and prior or pending transactions). Of the $287,763,311, $178,409,807 is due to the equity investment in ABCS.

(2) Weighted average is calculated by weighing the significant unobservable input by the relative fair value of each investment in the category.

The Company used the income approach and market approach to determine the fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of December 31, 2017. The significant unobservable input used in the income approach is the comparative yield. The comparative yield is used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment. An increase/decrease in the comparative yield would result in a decrease/increase, respectively, in the fair value. The significant unobservable input used in the market approach is the comparable company multiple. The multiple is used to estimate the enterprise value of the underlying investment. An increase/decrease in the multiple would result in an increase/decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

The fair values of the Revolving Credit Facility and BCSF Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6), which are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, approximate the carrying value of such facilities.

Note 5. Related Party Transactions

Investment Advisory Agreement

The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement as of October 6, 2016, (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Advisor, pursuant to which the Advisor manages the Company’s investment program and related activities.

Base Management Fee

The Company pays the Advisor a base management fee (the “Base Management Fee”), accrued and payable quarterly in arrears. The Base Management Fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% (0.375% per quarter) of the average value of the Company’s gross assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents, but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters (and, in the case of our first quarter, our gross assets as of such quarter-end). Such amount shall be appropriately adjusted (based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter) for any share issuance or repurchases by the Company during a calendar quarter. The Base Management Fee for any partial quarter will be appropriately prorated.

The Advisor, however, has contractually waived its right to receive the Base Management Fee in excess of 0.75% of the aggregate gross assets excluding cash (including capital drawn to pay the Company’s expenses) during any period prior to a Qualified IPO. A “Qualified IPO” is an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock that results in an unaffiliated public float of at least the lower of (A) $75 million and (B) 15% of the aggregate capital commitments received prior to the date of such initial public offering. If a Qualified IPO does not occur, such fee waiver will remain in place through liquidation of the Company. The Advisor will not be permitted to recoup any waived amounts at any time and the waiver agreement may only be modified or terminated prior to a Qualified IPO with the approval of the Board.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Base Management Fee charged amounted to $1.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Base Management Fee charged amounted to $3.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $1.9 million and $1.2 million remained payable, respectively.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee consists of two parts that are determined independently of each other such that one component may be payable even if the other is not.

The first part, the income incentive fee, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals:

Table of Contents

(a) 100% of the excess of our pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, over a preferred return of 1.5% per quarter (6% annualized) (the “Hurdle”), until the Advisor has received a “catch-up” equal to:

(i) 15% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the current quarter prior to a Qualified IPO, or

(ii) 17.5% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the current quarter after a Qualified IPO; and

(b) (i) 15% of all remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income above the “catch-up” prior to a Qualified IPO, or

(ii) 17.5% of all remaining pre-incentive fee net investment income above the “catch-up” after a Qualified IPO.

The second part, the capital gains incentive fee, is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon a Qualified IPO or termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement), and equals:

(a) prior to a Qualified IPO, 15% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of the fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees (the “Cumulative Capital Gains”), or

(b) after a Qualified IPO, 17.5% of the Cumulative Capital Gains.

Incentive Fee on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income

Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, any expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, original issue discount (“OID”), debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero-coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized or unrealized capital gains or losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that the Company may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where the Company incurs a loss. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the Hurdle rate for a quarter, the Company will pay the applicable incentive fee even if the Company has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized capital losses.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income will be compared to a “Hurdle Amount” equal to the product of (i) the “hurdle rate” of 1.5% per quarter (6% annualized) and (ii) the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. If market interest rates rise, the Company may be able to invest our funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which would increase our pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for the Advisor to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an incentive fee based on such net investment income. Our pre-incentive fee net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of our total assets (other than cash but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) used to calculate the Base Management Fee.

Prior to the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, the Company will pay the income incentive fee in each calendar quarter as follows:

· no income incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the Hurdle Amount;

· 100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Amount but is less than or equal to an amount (the “Pre-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount”) determined on a quarterly basis by multiplying 1.7647% by the Company’s net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter. The Pre-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount is intended to provide the Advisor with an incentive fee of 15% on all of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income when the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income reaches the Pre-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount in any calendar quarter; and

Table of Contents

· for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds the Pre-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount, the income incentive fee shall equal 15% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the calendar quarter.

On and after the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, the Company will pay the income incentive fee in each calendar quarter as follows:

· no income incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the Hurdle Amount;

· 100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Amount but is less than or equal to an amount (the “Post-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount”) determined on a quarterly basis by multiplying 1.8182% by the Company’s net asset value at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter. The Post-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount is intended to provide the Advisor with an incentive fee of 17.5% on all of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income when the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income reaches the Post-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount in any calendar quarter; and

· for any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds the Post-Qualified IPO Catch-Up Amount, the income incentive fee shall equal 17.5% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the calendar quarter.

These calculations will be appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases by the Company during the current quarter. The Company does not currently intend to institute a share repurchase program and share repurchases will be effected only in extremely limited circumstances in accordance with applicable law. If the Qualified IPO occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar quarter, the income incentive fee shall be calculated for such calendar quarter at a weighted rate calculated based on the fee rates applicable before and after a Qualified IPO based on the number of days in such calendar quarter before and after a Qualified IPO.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $2.0 million and $0.0 million of income incentive fees, respectively, which are included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $3.6 million and $0.0 million of income incentive fees, respectively, which are included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations. The Advisor decided to voluntarily waive 50% of the income incentive fees earned by the Advisor during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Such income incentive fee waiver is irrevocable and such waived income incentive fees will not be subject to recoupment in future periods. This income incentive fee waiver does not impact any income incentive fees earned by the Advisor in future periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Advisor waived income incentive fees of $1.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Advisor waived income incentive fees of $1.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there was $1.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, related to the income incentive fee accrued in incentive fee payable on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Annual Incentive Fee Based on Capital Gains

The second part of the incentive fee is a capital gains incentive fee that will be determined and payable in arrears in cash as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), and equals (i) 15% of our realized capital gains as of the end of the fiscal year prior to a Qualified IPO, and (ii) 17.5% of our realized capital gains as of the end of the fiscal year after a Qualified IPO. In determining the capital gains incentive fee payable to the Advisor, the Company calculates the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains and cumulative aggregate realized capital losses since our inception, and the aggregate unrealized capital depreciation as of the date of the calculation, as applicable, with respect to each of the investments in our portfolio. For this purpose, cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, if any, equals the sum of the differences between the net sales price of each investment, when sold, and the cost of such investment. Cumulative aggregate realized capital losses equals the sum of the amounts by which the net sales price of each investment, when sold, is less than the cost of such investment. Aggregate unrealized capital depreciation equals the sum of the difference, if negative, between the valuation of each investment as of the applicable calculation date and the cost of such investment. At the end of the applicable year, the amount of capital gains that serves as the basis for our calculation of the capital gains incentive fee equals the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains less cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, less aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, with respect to our portfolio of investments. If this number is positive at the end of such year, then the capital gains incentive fee for such year will equal 15% before a Qualified IPO or 17.5% after a Qualified IPO, as applicable, of such amount, less the aggregate amount of any capital gains incentive fees paid in respect of our portfolio in all prior years.

Table of Contents

If a Qualified IPO occurs on a date other than the first day of a fiscal year, a capital gains incentive fee shall be calculated as of the day before the Qualified IPO, with such capital gains incentive fee paid to the Advisor following the end of the fiscal year in which the Qualified IPO occurred. For the avoidance of doubt, such capital gains incentive fee shall be equal to 15% of the Company’s realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception through the day before the Qualified IPO, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. Following a Qualified IPO, solely for the purposes of calculating the capital gains incentive fee, the Company will be deemed to have previously paid capital gains incentive fees prior to a Qualified IPO equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the actual aggregate amount of previously paid capital gains incentive fees for all periods prior to a Qualified IPO by (b) the percentage obtained by dividing (x) 17.5% by (y) 15%. In the event that the Investment Advisory Agreement shall terminate as of a date that is not a fiscal year end, the termination date shall be treated as though it were a fiscal year end for purposes of calculating and paying a capital gains incentive fee.

There was no capital gains incentive fee payable to the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

U.S. GAAP requires that the incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation of investments or other financial instruments in the calculation, as an incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement (“GAAP Incentive Fee”). There can be no assurance that such unrealized appreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, such fee, as calculated and accrued, would not necessarily be payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of incentive fees in subsequent period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, there was a reduction of $1.1 million in incentive fees related to the GAAP Incentive Fee, which is included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred $0.1 million of incentive fees related to the GAAP Incentive Fee, which is included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, there was a reduction of $0.7 million in incentive fees related to the GAAP Incentive Fee which is included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred $0.2 million of incentive fees related to the GAAP Incentive Fee, which is included in incentive fees on the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there was $0.3 million and $1.0 million related to the GAAP Incentive Fee accrued in incentive fee payable on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Administration Agreement

The Company has entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator, pursuant to which the Administrator provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate, and the Company will utilize the Administrator’s office facilities, equipment and recordkeeping services. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator has agreed to oversee our public reporting requirements and tax reporting and monitor our expenses and the performance of professional services rendered to us by others. To the extent that expenses to be borne by the Company are paid by the Administrator, the Company will generally reimburse the Administrator for such expenses. The Administrator has also hired a sub-administrator to assist in the provision of administrative services. The Company shall reimburse the Administrator for its costs and expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including compensation paid to or compensatory distributions received by our officers (including our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer) and any of their respective staff who provide services to the Company, operations staff who provide services to us, and internal audit staff, if any, to the extent internal audit performs a role in our Sarbanes-Oxley internal control assessment. Our allocable portion of overhead will be determined by the Administrator, which expects to use various methodologies such as allocation based on the percentage of time certain individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the business and affairs of the Company, and will be subject to oversight by the Board. The sub-administrator is paid its compensation for performing its sub-administrative services under the sub-administration agreement. The Company incurred expenses related to the sub-administrator of $0.2 million and $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included in other general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company incurred expenses related to the sub-administrator of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included in other general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The Administrator will waive its right to be reimbursed in the event that any such reimbursements would cause any distributions to our stockholders to constitute a return of capital. In addition, the Administrator is permitted to delegate its duties under the Administration Agreement to affiliates or third parties and the Company will reimburse the expenses of these parties incurred and paid by the Advisor on our behalf.

Co-investments

We may invest alongside our affiliates, subject to compliance with applicable regulations and our allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments may be made only in accordance with the terms of the exemptive order we received from the SEC initially on August 23, 2016, as amended on March 23, 2018 (the “Order”). Under the terms

Table of Contents

of the Order, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors must be able to reach certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching of our or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our Board’s approved criteria. In certain situations where co-investment with one or more funds managed by the Advisor or its affiliates is not covered by the Order, the personnel of the Advisor or its affiliates will need to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. Such personnel will make these determinations based on policies and procedures, which are designed to reasonably ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among affiliated funds over time and in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Related Party Commitments

The Advisor has made commitments of $10.8 million to the Company as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, of which $6.8 million and $4.8 million have been called by the Company as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Advisor held 339,808.05 and 241,527.73 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. An affiliate of the Advisor is the investment manager to certain investment companies which are investors in the Company. Collectively, these investors have made commitments to the Company of $555.3 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of which $333.2 million and $222.1 million, respectively, has been called by the Company as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These investors held 16,534,226.31 and 11,070,200.25 shares of the Company at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Note 6. Borrowings

In accordance with applicable SEC staff guidance and interpretations, as a BDC, with certain exceptions, the Company is currently allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 2 to 1 after such borrowing, unless the Company meets certain disclosure and approval requirements in which case the Company may reduce its asset coverage ratio to 1.5 to 1. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s asset coverage ratio based on aggregated borrowings outstanding was 2.69 to 1 and 2.12 to 1, respectively.

The Company’s outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

Revolving Credit Agreement

On December 22, 2016, we entered into the revolving credit agreement (“Revolving Credit Agreement”). The maximum commitment amount under the revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) is $150.0 million, and may be increased up to $350.0 million (“Maximum Commitment”) with the consent of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”) or reduced upon request of the Company. Proceeds under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for any purpose permitted under our organizational documents, including general corporate purposes such as the making of investments. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including, but not limited to, maintaining an asset coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings of at least 2 to 1. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with these covenants. The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by the capital commitments and capital contributions to the Company.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Revolving Credit Facility was accruing interest expense at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.40%. We pay an unused commitment fee of: (a) where the Maximum Commitment which is unused on such date is greater than fifty (50) percent of the Maximum Commitment, a rate of 20 basis points (0.20%) per annum; or (b) where the Maximum Commitment which is unused on such date is less than or equal to fifty (50) percent of the Maximum Commitment, a rate of 15 basis points (0.15%) per annum. Interest is payable in arrears either on a one month, two month, three month or six month LIBOR period. Any amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility, and all accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable, on the earliest of: (a) December 22, 2019; (b) the date upon which SMBC declares the obligations, or the obligations become, due and payable after the occurrence of an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility; (c) the date upon which we terminate the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility; and (d) 45 days prior to the earlier of (1) the date upon which the commitment period under the Subscription Agreements, as defined in Note 9, terminates and (2) the date upon which the ability to make capital calls and receive capital contributions otherwise terminates.

As of June 30, 2018, we have $111.5 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and we were in compliance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2017, we had $150.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and we were in compliance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility. We intend to continue to utilize the Revolving Credit Facility on a revolving basis to fund investments and for other general corporate purposes.

Costs of $1.1 million were incurred in connection with obtaining the Revolving Credit Agreement which have been recorded as deferred financing costs on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and are being amortized over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility using the straight-line method.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the components of interest expense related to the Revolving Credit Facility were as follows:

BCSF Revolving Credit Facility

On October 4, 2017, we entered into the revolving credit agreement (the “BCSF Revolving Credit Facility”) with the Company as equity holder, BCSF I, LLC as borrower, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as sole lead arranger (“Goldman Sachs”). The BCSF Revolving Credit Facility was subsequently amended on May 15, 2018 to reflect certain clarifications regarding margin requirements and hedging currencies. The maximum commitment amount under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility is $500.0 million, and may be increased up to $750.0 million. Proceeds of the loans under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility may be used to acquire certain qualifying loans and such other uses as permitted under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility. The BCSF Revolving Credit Facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, as well as usual and customary events of default for revolving credit facilities of this nature. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Borrowings under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility was accruing interest expense at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. We pay an unused commitment fee of 30 basis points (0.30%) per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility, and all accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable, on the earliest of: (a) October 5, 2022 and (b) the date upon which all loans shall become due and payable in full, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were $335.0 million and $301.0 million borrowings under the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, and we were in compliance with the terms of the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility. We intend to continue to utilize the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility on a revolving basis to fund investments and for other general corporate purposes.

Costs of $5.5 million were incurred in connection with obtaining the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility which have been recorded as deferred financing costs on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and are being amortized over the life of the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility using the straight-line method.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the components of interest expense related to the BCSF Revolving Credit Facility were as follows:

Note 7. Derivatives

The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by the Company may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency.

The Company may enter into forward currency exchange contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies, as described in Note 2. The fair value of derivative contracts open as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is included on the consolidated schedule of investments by contract. The Company posted collateral of $0.8 million and $4.4 million with the counterparties on foreign currency exchange contracts at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Collateral amounts posted are included in collateral on forward currency exchange contracts on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s average U.S. dollar notional exposure to forward currency exchange contracts was $109.7 million and $97.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company’s average U.S. dollar notional exposure to forward currency exchange contracts was $21.0 million and $14.0 million, respectively.

By using derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to the counterparty’s credit risk—the risk that derivative counterparties may not perform in accordance with the contractual provisions offset by the value of any collateral received. The Company’s exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance is limited to collateral posted and the unrealized gains inherent in such transactions that are recognized in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk through credit monitoring procedures, executing master netting arrangements and managing margin and collateral requirements, as appropriate.

The Company presents forward currency exchange contracts on a net basis by counterparty on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Company has elected not to offset assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities that may be received or paid as part of collateral arrangements, even when an enforceable master netting arrangement or other

arrangement is in place that provides the Company, in the event of counterparty default, the right to liquidate collateral and the right to offset a counterparty’s rights and obligations.

The following table presents both gross and net information about derivative instruments eligible for offset in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2018.

Counterparty	Account in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities	Gross amount of assets on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities		Gross amount of (liabilities) on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities		Net amount of assets or (liabilities) presented on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities		Cash Collateral paid (received) (1)		Net Amounts (2)

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into certain contracts that provide a variety of indemnities. The Company’s maximum exposure under these indemnities is unknown as it would involve future claims that may be made against the Company. Currently, the Company is not aware of any such claims and no such claims are expected to occur. As such, the Company does not consider it necessary to record a liability in this regard.

Note 11. Earnings Per Share

In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no dilutive shares.

(1) The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.

(2) Net change in unrealized appreciation on investments per share may not be consistent with the consolidated statements of operations due to the timing of shareholder transactions.

(3) The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions declared during the period.

(4) Total return based on net asset value is calculated as the change in net asset value per share during the period, assuming dividends and distributions, if any, are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total return has not been annualized.

(5) The computation of average net assets during the period is based on averaging net assets for the period reported.

(6) Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of year-to-date sales or year-to-date purchases over the average of the invested assets at fair value for the period reported.

(7) Net realized gain (loss) includes net realized gain (loss) on investments, net realized gain (loss) on forward currency exchange contracts and net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.

(8) Net change in unrealized appreciation includes net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency exchange contracts and net change in unrealized depreciation on foreign currency translation.

(9) The sum of quarterly per share amounts may not equal earnings per share. This is due to changes in the number of weighted average shares outstanding and the effects of rounding.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2018. The information contained in this section should also be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”).

Overview

Bain Capital Specialty Finance, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “us”) is an externally managed specialty finance company focused on lending to middle market companies. We have elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “1940 Act”). We are managed by BCSF Advisors, LP (our “Advisor” or “BCSF Advisors”), a subsidiary of Bain Capital Credit, LP (“Bain Capital Credit”). Our Advisor is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Our Advisor also provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate (in such capacity, our “Administrator” or “BCSF Advisors”). Since we commenced operations on October 13, 2016 through June 30, 2018, we have invested approximately $1,370.5 million in aggregate principal amount of debt and equity investments prior to any subsequent exits or repayments. We seek to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation through direct originations of secured debt, including first lien, first lien/last-out, unitranche and second lien debt, investments in strategic joint ventures, equity investments and, to a lesser extent, corporate bonds.

Our primary focus is capitalizing on opportunities within our Senior Direct Lending strategy, which seeks to provide risk-adjusted returns and current income to our stockholders by investing primarily in middle-market companies with between $10.0 million and $150.0 million in annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). However, we may, from time to time, invest in larger or smaller companies. We focus on senior investments with a first or second lien on collateral and strong structures and documentation intended to protect the lender. We may also invest in mezzanine debt and other junior securities, including common and preferred equity, on an opportunistic basis, and in secondary purchases of assets or portfolios but such investments are not the principal focus of our investment strategy. In addition, we may invest, from time to time, in distressed debt, debtor-in-possession loans, structured products, structurally subordinate loans, investments with deferred interest features, zero-coupon securities and defaulted securities.

We generate revenues primarily through receipt of interest income from the investments we hold. In addition, we generate income from various loan origination and other fees, dividends on direct equity investments and capital gains on the sales of investments. The companies in which we invest use our capital for a variety of reasons, including to support organic growth, to fund changes of control, to fund acquisitions, to make capital investments and for refinancing and recapitalizations.

Investments

We expect that our level of investment activity will 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 for such companies, the level of investment and capital expenditures of such companies, the general economic environment, the amount of capital we have available to us and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.

As a BDC, we may not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, “eligible portfolio companies” include certain companies that do not have any securities listed on a national securities exchange and public companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million.

As a BDC, we may also invest up to 30% of our portfolio opportunistically in “non-qualifying” portfolio investments, such as investments in non-U.S. companies.

Market Overview

With respect to returns, while loan spreads have tightened in the past few quarters, yields have remained relatively stable due to upward movement in LIBOR rates. During recent quarters, the Advisor has also noted stable all-in-yields. In addition, as we move later in the credit cycle, the Advisor has observed that sponsors and companies are more frequently utilizing EBITDA add-backs to demonstrate run-rate profitability. In an environment where the Advisor believes corporate profits are nearing cyclical peaks, the Advisor is increasingly skeptical of these add-backs and always incorporates such add-backs into its loan underwriting process. Despite the aforementioned headwinds, the Advisor continues to believe the investment set broadly provides attractive risk/return investment opportunities for the Company although caution is warranted.

Revenues

We primarily generate revenue in the form of interest income on debt investments and, to a lesser extent, capital gains and distributions, if any, on equity securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. The principal amount of the debt investments and any accrued but unpaid interest generally becomes due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts into or against income over the life of the loan. We record contractual prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income.

Our debt investment portfolio consists of primarily floating rate loans. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 96.1% and 98.4%, respectively, of our debt investments, based on fair value, bore interest at floating rates, which may be subject to interest rate floors. Variable-rate investments subject to a floor generally reset periodically to the applicable floor, only if the floor exceeds the index. Trends in base interest rates, such as LIBOR, may affect our net investment income over the long term. In addition, our results may vary from period to period depending on the interest rates of new investments made during the period compared to investments that were sold or repaid during the period; these results reflect the characteristics of the particular portfolio companies that we invested in or exited during the period and not necessarily any trends in our business or macroeconomic trends.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to our Advisor under the investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), our allocable portion of overhead expenses under the administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) and other operating costs, including those described below. The Base Management Fee and Incentive Fee compensate our Advisor for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. We bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including:

· our initial organization costs incurred prior to the commencement of our operations;

· operating costs incurred prior to the commencement of our operations;

· costs of calculating our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any third-party valuation services);

· fees and expenses payable to third parties relating to evaluating, making and disposing of investments, including our Advisor’s or its affiliates’ travel expenses, research costs and out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence and reviews of prospective investments, monitoring our investments and, if necessary, enforcing our rights;

· interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments;

· costs of effecting sales and repurchases of our common stock and other securities;

· the base management fee and any incentive fee;

· distributions on our common stock;

· transfer agent and custody fees and expenses;

· the allocated costs incurred by the Administrator in providing managerial assistance to those portfolio companies that request it;

Table of Contents

· other expenses incurred by BCSF Advisors or us in connection with administering our business, including payments made to third-party providers of goods or services;

· brokerage fees and commissions;

· federal and state registration fees;

· any stock exchange listing fees;

· U.S. federal, state and local taxes;

· Independent Director fees and expenses;

· costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws;

· costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to our stockholders, including printing costs;

· costs of holding stockholder meetings;

· our fidelity bond;

· directors’ and officers’ errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;

· litigation, indemnification and other non-recurring or extraordinary expenses;

· direct costs and expenses of administration and operation, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone, staff, audit, compliance, tax and legal costs;

· fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;

· dues, fees and charges of any trade association of which we are a member; and

· all other expenses reasonably incurred by us or the Administrator in connection with administering our business.

To the extent that expenses to be borne by us are paid by BCSF Advisors, we will generally reimburse BCSF Advisors for such expenses. To the extent the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company will pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without profit to the Administrator. We also reimburse the Administrator for its costs and expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and compensation paid to or compensatory distributions received by our officers (including our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer) and any of their respective staff who provide services to us, operations staff who provide services to us, internal audit staff, if any, to the extent internal audit performs a role in our Sarbanes-Oxley internal control assessment and fees paid to third-party providers for goods or services. Our allocable portion of overhead will be determined by the Administrator, which expects to use various methodologies such as allocation based on the percentage of time certain individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to our business and affairs, and will be subject to oversight by our board of directors (our “Board”). The sub-administrator is paid its compensation for performing its sub-administrative services under the sub-administration agreement. We incurred expenses related to the sub-administrator of $0.2 million and $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included in other general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. BCSF Advisors will waive its right to be reimbursed in the event that such reimbursements would cause any distributions to our stockholders to constitute a return of capital. All of the foregoing expenses are ultimately borne by our stockholders.

We may also enter into additional credit facilities or other debt arrangements to partially fund our operations, and could incur costs and expenses including commitment, origination, or structuring fees and the related interest costs associated with any amounts borrowed.

Leverage

We may borrow money from time to time. However, our ability to incur indebtedness (including by issuing preferred stock) is limited by applicable regulations such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, must equal at least 2 to 1 (or 1.5 to 1 if certain disclosure and approval requirements are met). In determining whether to borrow money, we will analyze the maturity, covenant package and rate structure of the proposed borrowings as well as the risks of such borrowings compared to our investment outlook.

Loans or debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest generally is reversed when a loan or debt security is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans or debt securities may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans and debt securities are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. We may make exceptions to this treatment if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Our Advisor monitors our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. It monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company to determine if they are meeting their respective business plans and to assess the appropriate course of action for each company. The Advisor has several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include the following:

· assessment of success in adhering to the portfolio company’s business plan and compliance with covenants;

· periodic or regular contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic sponsor to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;

· comparisons to our other portfolio companies in the industry, if any;

· attendance at and participation in board meetings or presentations by portfolio companies; and

· review of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections of portfolio companies.

Our Advisor rates the investments in our portfolio at least quarterly and it is possible that the rating of a portfolio investment may be reduced or increased over time. For investments rated 3 or 4, Advisor enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company. Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments.

· An investment is rated 1 if, in the opinion of our Advisor, it is performing above underwriting expectations, and the business trends and risk factors are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or the likelihood of a potential exit.

· An investment is rated 2 if, in the opinion of our Advisor, it is performing as expected at the time of our underwriting and there are generally no concerns about the portfolio company’s performance or ability to meet covenant requirements, interest payments or principal amortization, if applicable. All new investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially given a rating of 2.

· An investment is rated 3 if, in the opinion of our Advisor, the investment is performing below underwriting expectations and there may be concerns about the portfolio company’s performance or trends in the industry, including as a result of factors such as declining performance, non-compliance with debt covenants or delinquency in loan payments (but generally not more than 180 days past due).

· An investment is rated 4 if, in the opinion of our Advisor, the investment is performing materially below underwriting expectations. For debt investments, most of or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Investments rated 4 are not anticipated to be repaid in full, if applicable, and there is significant risk that we may realize a substantial loss on our investment.

Antares Bain Capital Complete Financing Solution

We have entered into a limited liability company agreement with Antares Midco Inc. (“Antares”) to invest in ABC Complete Financing Solution LLC, which makes investments through its subsidiary, Antares Bain Capital Complete Financing Solution LLC (together with ABC Complete Financing Solution LLC, “ABCS”). ABCS, an unconsolidated Delaware limited liability company, was formed on September 27, 2017 and commenced operations on November 29, 2017. ABCS’ principal purpose is to make investments, primarily in senior secured unitranche loans. We record our investment in ABCS at fair value. Distributions of income received from ABCS, if any, are recorded as dividend income from controlled investments in the consolidated statements of operations. Distributions received from ABCS in excess of income earned at ABCS, if any, are recorded as a return of capital and reduce the amortized cost of controlled affiliate investments.

We and Antares, as members of ABCS, have agreed to contribute capital up to (subject to the terms of our agreement) $950.0 million in aggregate to purchase equity interests in ABCS, with each member contributing up to $425.0 million and $525.0 million, respectively. Funding of such commitments generally requires the consent of both Antares Credit Opportunities Manager LLC and our Advisor on behalf of Antares and the Company, respectively. ABCS is capitalized with capital contributions from its members on a pro-rata basis based on their maximum capital contributions as transactions are funded after they have been approved.

Investment decisions of ABCS require the consent of both our Advisor and Antares Credit Opportunities Manager LLC, as representatives of us and Antares, respectively. Each of our Advisor and Antares source investments for ABCS.

The following table shows the ABCS maximum capital contributions, contributions and unfunded capital contributions from its members as of June 30, 2018.
