Note 1. Organization

Golub Capital BDC 3, Inc. (“GBDC 3” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that was formed on August 1, 2017 and elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), on September 29, 2017. On October 2, 2017, the date of the commencement of operations, the Company entered into subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) to sell shares of GBDC 3's common stock in private placements. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, GBDC 3 has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company’s investment strategy is to invest primarily in one stop (a loan that combines characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured loans and second lien or subordinated loans and that are often referred to by other middle-market lenders as unitranche loans) and other senior secured loans of U.S. middle-market companies that are, in most cases, sponsored by private equity firms. The Company also selectively invests in second lien and subordinated (a loan that ranks senior only to a borrower’s equity securities and ranks junior to all of such borrower’s other indebtedness in priority of payment) loans of, and warrants and minority equity securities in, primarily U.S. middle-market companies. The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with GC Advisors LLC (the “Investment Adviser”), under which the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. Under an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) the Company is provided with certain services by an administrator (the “Administrator”), which is currently Golub Capital LLC.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Updates

Basis of presentation: The Company is an investment company as defined in the accounting and reporting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 - Financial Services - Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”).

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications consisting solely of normal accruals that are necessary for the fair presentation of financial results as of and for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Fair value of financial instruments: The Company applies fair value to all of its financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurement (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company has categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market and the current market conditions. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for financial instruments classified as Level 3.

Any changes to the valuation methodology are reviewed by management and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to confirm that the changes are appropriate. As markets change, new products develop and the pricing for products becomes more or less transparent, the Company will continue to refine its valuation methodologies. See further description of fair value methodology in Note 7, Fair Value Measurements.

Use of estimates: The preparation of the unaudited 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation: As provided under ASC Topic 946 and Regulation S-X, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, GBDC 3 Holdings LLC (“GBDC 3 Holdings”), GBDC 3 Funding LLC (“GBDC 3 Funding”) and GBDC 3 Funding II LLC (“GBDC 3 Funding II”), in its consolidated financial statements.

Assets related to transactions that do not meet ASC Topic 860 - Transfers and Servicing (“ASC Topic 860”) requirements for accounting sale treatment are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as investments. Those assets are owned by special purpose entities, including GBDC 3 Holdings and GBDC 3 Funding, that are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The creditors of the special purpose entities have received security interests in such assets and such assets are not intended to be available to the creditors of GBDC (or any affiliate of GBDC).

Cash and cash equivalents and foreign currencies: Cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions and, at times, such balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies: Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies include amounts that are collected and are held by trustees who have been appointed as custodians of the assets securing certain of the Company’s financing transactions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies are held by the trustees for payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings or reinvestment into new assets.

Foreign currency translation: The Company’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1)cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, fair value of investments, interest receivable, and other assets and liabilities—at the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and

(2)purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses—at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held. Such fluctuations

are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Fluctuations arising from the translation of assets other than investments and liabilities are included with the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign security and currency transactions involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

Forward currency contracts: A forward currency contract is an obligation between two parties to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Company utilized forward currency contracts to economically hedge the currency exposure associated with certain foreign-denominated investments. The use of forward currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the price of the underlying securities the Company owns or intends to acquire but establishes a rate of exchange in advance. Fluctuations in the value of these contracts are measured by the difference in the exchange rates on the contract date and reporting date and are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, realized gains (losses) are recorded. Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the contracts are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency contracts is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable.

The primary risks associated with forward currency contracts include failure of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and the value of the foreign currency changing unfavorably. These risks can exceed the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Refer to Note 6 for more information regarding the forward currency contracts.

Revenue recognition:

Investments and related investment income: Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual interest terms of debt investments.

Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and the Company accretes or amortizes such amounts over the life of the loan as interest income. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, interest income included $828 and $2,500, respectively, of accretion of discounts. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, interest income included $371 and $854, respectively, of accretion of discounts. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company received loan origination fees of $350 and $4,980, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received loan origination fees of $3,030 and $5,086, respectively.

For investments with contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at maturity, the Company will not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not collectible. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company capitalized PIK interest of $372 and $1,267, respectively, into the principal balance of certain debt investments. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company capitalized PIK interest of $108 and $143, respectively, into the principal balance of certain debt investments.

In addition, the Company generates revenue in the form of amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees and prepayment premiums on loans. The Company records these fees as fee income when earned. All other income is recorded into income when earned. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, fee income included $141 and $173, respectively, of prepayment premiums, which fees are non-recurring. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, fee income included $44 and $122, respectively, of prepayment premiums, which fees are non-recurring.

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company received interest and fee income in cash, which excludes capitalized loan origination fees, in the amounts of $14,103 and $42,796, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received interest and fee income in cash, which excludes capitalized loan origination fees, in the amounts of $7,936 and $17,205, respectively.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income 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 securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Each distribution received from limited liability company (“LLC”) and limited partnership (“LP”) investments is evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the investment. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded dividend income of $0 and $4, respectively, and return of capital distributions of $0 and $0, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not record dividend income or any return of capital distributions.

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. The Company reports current period changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currency translation in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-accrual loans: A loan can be left on accrual status during the period the Company is pursuing repayment of the loan. Management reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal and interest, or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected, for possible placement on non-accrual status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid, and, in management’s judgment, payments are likely to remain current. As of June 30, 2020, the total fair value of non-accrual loans was $2,311. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had no portfolio company investments on non-accrual status.

Income taxes: The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify and be subject to tax as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to its stockholders of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, for each tax year. The Company has made, and intends to continue to make, the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal income taxes with respect to all income distributed to its stockholders.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company can determine to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions and distribute such taxable income in the next tax year. The Company may then be required to incur a 4% excise tax on such income. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar year basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For the three and nine months ended June 2020 and 2019, the Company did not incur U.S. federal excise tax.

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense or tax benefit in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no material unrecognized tax benefits or unrecognized tax liabilities related to uncertain income tax positions through June 30, 2020. The Company's tax returns for the 2017 through 2019 tax years remains subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

Distributions: Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. Subject to the discretion of and as determined by the Board, the Company intends to authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions based on a formula approved by the Board on a quarterly basis. The amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company can retain such capital gains for investment in its discretion.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Board authorizes and the Company declares a cash distribution, then stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution. Shares issued under the DRIP will be issued at a price per share equal to the most recent net asset value (“NAV”) per share as determined by the Board (subject to adjustment to the extent required by Section 23 of the 1940 Act).

Deferred debt issuance costs: Deferred debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

Investment Advisory Agreement: Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. The Board most recently reapproved the Investment Advisory Agreement in May 2020. The Investment Adviser is a registered investment adviser with the SEC. The Investment Adviser receives fees for providing services, consisting of two components, a base management fee and an Incentive Fee (as defined below).

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate equal to 1.375% of the fair value of the average adjusted gross assets of the Company at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters (including assets purchased with borrowed funds, securitization-related assets, unrealized depreciation or appreciation on derivative instruments and cash collateral on deposit with custodian, but adjusted to exclude cash and cash equivalents so that investors do not pay the base management fee for such assets) and is payable quarterly in arrears. Additionally, the Investment Adviser voluntarily excludes any assets funded with secured borrowing proceeds from the base management fee calculation. The base management fee is adjusted, based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter, for any share issuances or repurchases during such calendar quarter. For purposes of the Investment Advisory Agreement, cash equivalents mean U.S. government securities and commercial paper instruments maturing within 270 days of purchase (which is different than the GAAP definition, which defines cash equivalents as U.S. government securities and commercial paper instruments maturing within 90 days of purchase). To the extent that the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates provides investment advisory, collateral management or other similar services to a subsidiary of GBDC 3, the base management fee will be reduced by an amount equal to the product of (1) the total fees paid to the Investment Adviser by such subsidiary for such services and (2) the percentage of such subsidiary’s total equity, including membership interests and any class of notes not exclusively held by one or more third parties, that is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. For periods ending on or prior to the earlier of (1) the date of pricing of an initial public offering or listing on a national securities exchange of the shares of common stock of GBDC 3 or (2) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to, or other liquidity event with, an entity for consideration of publicly listed securities of the acquirer (each, a “Liquidity Event”), the Investment Adviser has irrevocably agreed to waive any base management fee in excess of 1.00% of the fair value of the Company’s average adjusted gross assets as calculated in accordance with the Investment Advisory Agreement as described above.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the base management fees incurred by the Company were $2,836 and $8,029, respectively, and the base management fees irrevocably waived by the Investment Adviser were $774 and $2,190, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the base management fees incurred by the Company were $1,329 and $2,902, respectively, and the base management fees irrevocably waived by the Investment Adviser were $362 and $791, respectively.

The Incentive Fee consists of three parts: the income component (the “Income Incentive Fee”), the capital gains component (the “Capital Gain Incentive Fee”) and the subordinated liquidation incentive component (the “Subordinated Liquidation Incentive Fee” and, together with the Income Incentive Fee and the Capital Gain Incentive Fee, the “Incentive Fee”).

The Income Incentive Fee is calculated quarterly in arrears based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. “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 the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the calendar quarter (including the base management fee, taxes, any expenses payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, any expenses of securitizations 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, debt instruments with

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

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 capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Because of the structure of the Income Incentive Fee, it is possible that an Incentive Fee is calculated under this formula with respect to a period in which the Company has incurred a loss. For example, if the Company receives Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a calendar quarter, the Income Incentive Fee will result in a positive value, and an Income Incentive Fee will be paid even if the Company has incurred a loss in such period due to realized and/or unrealized capital losses unless the payment of such Income Incentive Fee would cause the Company to pay Income Incentive Fees and Capital Gain Incentive Fees on a cumulative basis that exceed the Incentive Fee Cap described below.

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of 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, is compared to a fixed ‘‘hurdle rate’’ of 1.5% quarterly. If market interest rates rise, it is possible that the Company will be able to invest funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which would increase the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income and make it easier for the Investment Adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an Income Incentive Fee. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of the Company’s total assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds securitization-related assets, unrealized depreciation or appreciation on derivative instruments and cash collateral on deposit with custodian) used to calculate the base management fee.

The Company calculates the Income Incentive Fee with respect to its Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income quarterly, in arrears, as follows:

•zero in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate;

•50.0% of 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 rate but is less than the percentage at which amounts payable to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Income Incentive Fee equal 20.0% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income that exceeds the hurdle rate as if a hurdle rate did not apply. This portion of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income that exceeds the hurdle rate is referred to as the ‘‘catch-up’’ provision; and

•20.0% of the amount of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the catch-up provision in any calendar quarter.

The sum of these calculations yields the Income Incentive Fee. This amount is appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Income Incentive Fee incurred was ($15) and $3,228, respectively. Due to an administrative error and a limitation imposed by the Incentive Fee Cap, the Company recorded an over accrual of the Income Incentive Fee of $1,765 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which was reversed during the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Income Incentive Fee was calculated to be $1,750, resulting in a net Income Incentive Fee for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of ($15) after factoring in the reversal of $1,765 from the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Income Incentive Fee incurred was $1,049 and $1,958, respectively.

For periods ending on or prior to the date of the closing of a Liquidity Event, the Investment Adviser has agreed to irrevocably waive that portion of the Income Incentive fee calculated under the Investment Advisory Agreement in amounts in excess of the following amounts (computed on a quarterly basis, in arrears):

•zero in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate;

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

•50.0% 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 rate but is less than the percentage at which the amount payable to the Investment Adviser equals to 15.0% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply. This portion of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income that exceeds the hurdle rate is referred to as the “catch-up” provision; and

•15.0% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the catch-up provision in any calendar quarter.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Income Incentive Fee irrevocably waived by the Investment Adviser was $245 and $635, respectively. Due to an administrative error, the Company recorded an over accrual of the Income Incentive Fee waiver of $229 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which was reversed during the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Income Incentive Fee irrevocably waived by the Investment Adviser was calculated to be $127. The Incentive Fee Cap, as defined below, limited the Income Incentive Fee payable for the three months ended June 30, 2020, resulting in additional waiver of Income Incentive Fees payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement of $347. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Income Incentive Fee irrevocably waived by the Investment Adviser was $212 and $231, respectively.

The second part of the Incentive Fee, the Capital Gain Incentive Fee, equals (a) 20.0% of the Company’s Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base (as defined below), if any, calculated in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or, upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), commencing with the calendar year ended December 31, 2017, less (b) the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gain Incentive Fees. The Company’s ‘‘Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base’’ equals (1) the sum of (A) realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative positive basis from September 29, 2017, the date the Company elected to be a BDC, through the end of each calendar year, (B) all realized capital losses on a cumulative basis and (C) all unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less (2) unamortized deferred debt issuance costs as of the date of calculation, if and to the extent such costs exceed all unrealized capital appreciation on a cumulative basis.

•The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company’s portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

•The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company’s portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

•The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in the Company’s portfolio as of the applicable Capital Gain Incentive Fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

The Capital Gain Incentive Fee is calculated on a cumulative basis from September 29, 2017 through the end of each calendar year or termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement. For periods ending on or prior to the date of the closing of a Liquidity Event, the Investment Adviser has agreed to irrevocably waive that portion of the Capital Gain Incentive Fee, calculated as described above, in excess of 15.0% of the Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base, provided that any amounts so waived shall be deemed paid to the Investment Adviser for purposes of determining the Capital Gain Incentive Fee payable after the closing of a public offering or listing. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the accrual for the Capital Gain Incentive Fee waiver was $0 and a reversal of $221, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the accrual for the Capital Gain Incentive Fee waiver was $61 and $121, respectively.

In accordance with GAAP, the Company is required to include the aggregate unrealized capital appreciation on investments in the calculation and accrue a capital gain incentive fee on a quarterly basis, as 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. If the Capital Gain Incentive Fee Base, adjusted as required by GAAP to include unrealized capital appreciation, is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires the Company to accrue a capital gain incentive fee equal to 15.0% prior to a Liquidity Event

(In thousands, except shares and per share data)

(20.0% following a Liquidity Event) of such amount, less the aggregate amount of the actual Capital Gain Incentive Fees paid and capital gain incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. The resulting accrual under GAAP in a given period results in additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reversal of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Capital Gain Incentive Fee incurred was $0 and a reversal of $884, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Capital Gain Incentive Fee incurred was $242 and $482, respectively.

There was no Capital Gain Incentive Fee as calculated under the Investment Advisory Agreement (as described above) payable as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, included in management and incentive fees payable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition was $0 and $663, respectively, for accruals for the capital gain incentive fee (net of waiver) under GAAP, none of which was payable pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement.

The third part of the Incentive Fee, the Subordinated Liquidation Incentive Fee, equals 15.0% of the net proceeds from a liquidation of the Company in excess of adjusted capital, as calculated immediately prior to liquidation. For purposes of this calculation, (a) ‘‘liquidation’’ includes any merger of the Company with another entity or the acquisition of all or substantially all of the shares of the Company’s common stock in a single or series of related transactions and (b) ‘‘adjusted capital’’ means the net asset value of the Company calculated immediately prior to liquidation in accordance with GAAP less unrealized capital appreciation that would have been subject to the Capital Gain Incentive Fee had capital gain been recognized on the transfer of such assets in the liquidation. The Investment Advisory Agreement provides that no Subordinated Liquidation Incentive Fee shall be payable for any liquidation that occurs more than six months after the date of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock or a listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange. For periods prior to the date of the closing of a Liquidity Event, the Investment Adviser has agreed to waive the Subordinated Liquidation Incentive Fee.

The Company has structured the calculation of the Incentive Fee to include a fee limitation such that the Income Incentive Fee and the Capital Gain Incentive Fee will not be paid at any time if, after such payment, the cumulative Income Incentive Fees and Capital Gain Incentive Fees paid to date would exceed an incentive fee cap (the ‘‘Incentive Fee Cap’’). For periods ending on or prior to the date of the closing of a Liquidity Event, the Incentive Fee Cap in any quarter is equal to the difference between (a) 15.0% of Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income and (b) cumulative incentive fees of any kind paid to the Investment Adviser by the Company since September 29, 2017. For periods beginning after the date of the closing of a Liquidity Event, the Incentive Fee Cap in any quarter will be equal to the difference, if positive, between (a) the sum of (i) 20.0% of Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income for the period beginning on the date immediately following the closing of a Liquidity Event and (ii) 15.0% of Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income for the period from September 29, 2017 and ending on the date of the closing of a Liquidity Event and (b) cumulative Income Incentive Fees and Capital Gain Incentive Fees paid to the Investment Adviser by the Company from September 29, 2017.

To the extent the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value in any quarter, no incentive fee would be payable in that quarter. ‘‘Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Income’’ is equal to the sum of (a) Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for each period since September 29, 2017 and (b) cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, cumulative aggregate unrealized capital depreciation and cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation since September 29, 2017.

The sum of the Income Incentive Fee, the Capital Gain Incentive Fee and the Subordinated Liquidation Incentive Fee is the Incentive Fee. Prior to the closing of a Liquidity Event, the Company will deposit one-third of each Income Incentive Fee and Capital Gain Incentive Fee payment into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) to be

administered by U.S. Bank National Association (the “Escrow Agent”). Assets in the Escrow Account will be held by the Escrow Agent until the closing of a Liquidity Event at which time the Escrow Agent will release the assets to the Investment Adviser. If no Liquidity Event occurs prior to October 2, 2023, the Escrow Agent will return all assets in the Escrow Account to the Company for the benefit of the stockholders. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company deposited $512 and $1,360, respectively, into the Escrow Account. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company deposited $167 and $391, respectively, into the Escrow Account.

Administration Agreement: Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes the Company with office facilities and equipment and provides clerical, bookkeeping, and record-keeping services at such facilities and provides the Company with other administrative services as the Administrator, subject to review by the Board, determines necessary to conduct the Company's day-to-day operations. The Company reimburses the Administrator for the allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of the Board) of the Administrator’s overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company’s allocable portion of the cost of its chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. The Board reviews such expenses to determine that these expenses, including any allocation of expenses among the Company and other entities for which the Administrator provides similar services, are reasonable and comparable to administrative services charged by unaffiliated third-party asset managers. In addition, under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides, on the Company’s behalf, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the Company is required to provide such assistance and will be paid an additional amount based on the cost of the services provided, which amount shall not exceed the amount the Company receives from such portfolio companies.

Since our formation on August 1, 2017, formation and initial closing costs paid by the Investment Adviser on behalf of the Company and reimbursed by the Company totaled $199.

The Administrator pays for certain unaffiliated third-party expenses incurred by the Company. Such expenses include postage, printing, office supplies, rating agency fees and professional fees. These expenses are not marked-up and represent the same amount the Company would have paid had the Company paid the expenses directly. These expenses are subsequently reimbursed in cash. Total expenses reimbursed to the Administrator during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 were $121 and $505, respectively. Total expenses reimbursed to the Administrator during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 were $41 and $354, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $316 and $173 for reimbursable expenses that were paid by the Administrator on behalf of the Company.

Note 6. Forward Currency Contracts

The Company enters into forward currency contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company's investments denominated in foreign currencies.

The outstanding forward currency contracts as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 were as follows:



As of June 30, 2020
Counterparty	Currency to be sold					Currency to be purchased		Settlement Date		Unrealized appreciation ($)		Unrealized depreciation ($)

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Company mitigate its counterparty risk, the Company has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with its derivative counterparty, Macquarie Bank Limited (“Macquarie”). The ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Company and Macquarie that governs over the counter (“OTC”) derivatives, including forward currency contracts, and contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Company and cash collateral received from Macquarie, if any, is included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as cash collateral held at broker for forward currency contracts or cash collateral received from broker for forward currency contracts. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes to be of good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

The following table is intended to provide additional information about the effect of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts on the financial statements of the Company including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category, the location of those fair values on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, and the Company’s

Exclusion of the Investment Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition

Engaging in commodity interest transactions such as swap transactions or futures contracts for the Company may cause the Investment Adviser to fall within the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act (the “CEA”) and related Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) regulations. On February 6, 2020, the Investment Adviser claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the CEA and the CFTC regulations in connection with its management of the Company and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration or regulation under the CEA as a commodity pool operator with respect to its management of the Company.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC Topic 820 for measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the assets or liabilities or market and the assets’ or liabilities’ complexity. The Company’s fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Assets and liabilities are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Inputs include significant unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information available and require significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company assesses the levels of assets and liabilities at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers. There were no transfers among Level 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The following section describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure different assets and liabilities at fair value and includes the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the assets and liabilities are categorized.

Investments

Level 1 investments are valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 investments are valued using market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, based on input of management, the audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the Board to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing twelve-month period under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with approximately 25% (based on the number of portfolio companies) of the Company’s valuations of debt and equity investments without readily available market quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm. All investments as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, with the exception of money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents (Level 1 investments) and forward currency contracts (Level 2 investments), were valued using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

When determining fair value of Level 3 debt and equity investments, the Company takes into account the following factors, where relevant: 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, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons to publicly traded securities, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that affect the price at which similar investments are made and other relevant factors. The primary method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). A portfolio company’s EBITDA can include pro-forma adjustments for items such as acquisitions, divestitures, or expense reductions. The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments and to determine if debt investments are credit impaired. If debt investments are credit impaired, the Company will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value. For debt investments that are not determined to be credit impaired, the Company uses a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value.

In addition, for certain debt investments, the Company bases its valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Company and others may be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the Company and others may be willing to accept. The Company generally uses the midpoint of the bid/ask range as its best estimate of fair value of such investment.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that are ultimately received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded.

The Company’s investments are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments are traded.

The following tables present fair value measurements of the Company’s investments and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019:

⁽¹⁾Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.

⁽²⁾The Company valued $399,514 and $110,016 of one stop loans using EBITDA and revenue multiples, respectively. All one stop loans were also valued using the market rate approach.

⁽³⁾The Company valued $3,898 and $2 of subordinated debt and second lien loans using EBITDA and revenue multiples, respectively. All subordinated debt and second lien loans were also valued using the market rate approach.

⁽⁴⁾The Company valued $5,174 and $1,620 of equity investments using EBITDA and revenue multiples, respectively.

The above tables are not intended to be all-inclusive but rather to provide information on significant unobservable inputs and valuation techniques used by the Company.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt and equity investments are EBITDA multiples, revenue multiples and market interest rates. The Company uses EBITDA multiples and, to a lesser extent, revenue multiples on its debt and equity investments to determine any credit gains or losses. Increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The Company uses market interest rates for loans to determine if the effective yield on a loan is commensurate with the market yields for that type of loan. If a loan’s effective yield was significantly less than the market yield for a similar loan with a similar credit profile, then the resulting fair value of the loan may have been lower.

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

ASC Topic 820 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate such value. As a result, with the exception of the line item titled “debt” which is reported at cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition due to their short maturity. Fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting remaining payments using applicable implied market rates.

The following are the carrying values and fair values of the Company’s debt and other short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

The Company has not sought or obtained any approval necessary to be subject to the reduced asset coverage requirements available to BDCs pursuant to Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, which permits a BDC to have asset coverage of 150%, or a ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness of 2:1 as compared to a maximum of 1:1 under the 200% asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 227.8%.

DB Credit Facility: On September 10, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and GBDC 3 Funding, entered into a loan financing and servicing agreement (the “DB Credit Facility”), with the Company, as equity holder and as servicer, the lenders from time to time parties thereto, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as facility agent, the other agents parties thereto, each of the entities from time to time party thereto as securitization subsidiaries and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral agent and as collateral custodian. As of September 30, 2019, allowed GBDC 3 Funding to borrow up to $250,000, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions. The period during which GBDC 3 Funding may request drawdowns under the DB Credit Facility (the “Revolving Period”) commenced on the Effective Date and will continue through September 10, 2022 unless there is an earlier termination or event of default. The DB Credit Facility will mature on the earliest of (i) three years from the last day of the Revolving Period, (ii) the date on which the Company ceases to exist or (iii) the occurrence of an event of default.

As of June 30, 2020, the DB Credit Facility bears interest at the applicable base rate plus 2.00% per annum. The base rate under the DB Credit Facility is (i) the three-month Canadian Dollar Offered Rate with respect to any advances denominated in Canadian dollars, (ii) the three-month EURIBOR with respect to any advances denominated in euros, (iii) the three-month Bank Bill Swap Rate with respect to any advances denominated in Australian dollars and (iv) the three-month LIBOR with respect to any other advances. A syndication/agent fee is payable to the facility agent each quarter and is calculated based on the aggregate commitments outstanding each day during the preceding collection period at a rate of 1/360 of 0.25% of the aggregate commitments on each day. In addition, a non-usage fee of 0.25% per annum is payable on the undrawn amount under the DB Credit Facility, and, during the Revolving Period, an additional fee based on unfunded commitments of the lenders may be payable if borrowings under the DB Credit Facility do not exceed a minimum utilization percentage threshold. A prepayment fee would be payable in the event of any permanent reduction in commitments of the DB Credit Facility in the amount of 0.50% or 0.25% of the amount of the reduction during the first or second year after the Effective Date, respectively.

The DB Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets held by GBDC 3 Funding. GBDC 3 Funding has made customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. The borrowings of the Company, including under the DB Credit Facility, are subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Other Short-Term Borrowings: Borrowings with original maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term. The Company's short-term borrowings are the result of investments that were sold under repurchase agreements. Investments sold under repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings as the sale of the investment does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860 and remains as an investment on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had no short-term borrowings. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $16,366 of short-term borrowings and the fair value of the loan associated with the short-term borrowings was $16,202. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the annualized effective interest rate on short-term borrowings was 0.0% and 4.9%, respectively, and interest expense was $0 and $155, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the annualized effective interest rate on short-term borrowings was 4.8% and 4.8%, respectively, and interest expense was $14 and $102, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, reported within the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies was $0 and $189, respectively. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 reported within the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies was $55.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the average total debt outstanding (including the debt under the Adviser Revolver, SB Revolver, DB Credit Facility and other short-term borrowings) was $370,330 and $356,358, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the average total debt outstanding (including the debt under the Adviser Revolver, SMBC Revolver and other short-term borrowings) was $168,328 and $121,181, respectively.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments: As of June 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $100,346, including $6,450 of commitments on undrawn revolvers. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $107,199. As described in Note 5, the Company had commitments of up to $109,375 and $109,375, respectively, to GBDC 3 SLF as of each of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 which could be contributed primarily for the purpose of funding new investments approved by the GBDC 3 SLF investment committee. As of June 30, 2020, GBDC 3 SLF has not yet commenced operations.

Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as these involve future claims against the Company that have not occurred. The Company expects the risk of any future obligations under these indemnifications to be remote.

Off-balance sheet risk: Off-balance sheet risk refers to an unrecorded potential liability that may result in a future obligation or loss, even though it does not appear on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company has entered and, in the future, may enter into derivative instruments that contain elements of off-balance sheet market and credit risk. Refer to Note 6 for outstanding forward currency contracts as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Derivative instruments can be affected by market conditions, such as interest rate volatility, which could impact the fair value of the derivative instruments. If market conditions move against the Company, it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of any derivative instruments and may realize a loss. The Company minimizes market risk through monitoring its investments and borrowings.

Concentration of credit and counterparty risk: Credit risk arises primarily from the potential inability of counterparties to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Company has engaged, and in the future may engage again, in derivative transactions with counterparties. In the event that the counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparties or issuers of the instruments. The Company’s maximum loss that it could incur related to counterparty risk on derivative instruments is the value of the collateral for that respective derivative instrument. It is the Company’s policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.

Legal proceedings: In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to legal and regulatory proceedings that are generally incidental to its ongoing operations. While there can be no assurance of the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings, the Company does not believe any disposition will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have based the forward-looking statements included in this report on information available to us on the date of this report. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we make directly to you or through reports that we have filed or in the future file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains statistics and other data that have been obtained from or compiled from information made available by third-party service providers. We have not independently verified such statistics or data.

Overview

We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. As a business development company and a RIC, we are also subject to certain constraints, including limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the Code. We were formed in August 2017 and commenced operations on October 2, 2017.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in one stop (a loan that combines characteristics of traditional first lien senior secured loans and second lien or subordinated loans and that are often referred to by other middle-market lenders as unitranche loans) and other senior secured loans of U.S. middle-market companies. We also selectively invest in second lien and subordinated (a loan that ranks senior only to a borrower’s equity securities and ranks junior to all of such borrower’s other indebtedness in priority of payment) loans of, and warrants and minority equity securities in, middle-market companies. We intend to achieve our investment objective by (1) accessing the established loan origination channels developed by Golub Capital, a leading lender to U.S. middle-market companies with over $30.0 billion in capital under management as of June 30, 2020, (2) selecting investments within our core middle-market company focus, (3) partnering with experienced private equity firms, or sponsors, in many cases with whom Golub Capital has invested alongside in the past, (4) implementing the disciplined underwriting standards of Golub Capital and (5) drawing upon the aggregate experience and resources of Golub Capital.

Our investment activities are managed by GC Advisors and supervised by our board of directors of which a majority of the members are independent of us, GC Advisors and its affiliates.

Under an investment advisory agreement, or the Investment Advisory Agreement, which was most recently reapproved by our board of directors in May 2020, we have agreed to pay GC Advisors an annual base management fee based on our average adjusted gross assets as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. Under an administration agreement, or the Administration Agreement, we are provided with certain administrative services by an administrator, or the Administrator, which is currently Golub Capital LLC. Under the Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse the Administrator for our allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of our independent directors) of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement.

We seek to create a portfolio that includes primarily one stop and other senior secured loans by primarily investing approximately $5.0 million to $30.0 million of capital, on average, in the securities of U.S. middle-market companies. We also selectively invest more than $30.0 million in some of our portfolio companies and generally expect that the size of our individual investments will vary proportionately with the size of our capital base.

We generally invest in securities that have been rated below investment grade by independent rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. These securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. In addition, many of our debt investments have floating interest rates that reset on a periodic basis and typically do not fully pay down principal prior to maturity, which may increase our risk of losing part or all of our investment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, our portfolio at fair value was comprised of the following:


	As of June 30, 2020						As of September 30, 2019

Total	$	848,548	100.0	%	$	616,989	100.0	%

*Represents an amount less than 0.1%

One stop loans include loans to technology companies undergoing strong growth due to new services, increased adoption and/or entry into new markets. We refer to loans to these companies as late stage lending loans. Other targeted characteristics of late stage lending businesses include strong customer revenue retention rates, a diversified customer base and backing from growth equity or venture capital firms. In some cases, the borrower’s high revenue growth is supported by a high level of discretionary spending. As part of the underwriting of such loans and consistent with industry practice, we adjust our characterization of the earnings of such borrowers for a reduction or elimination of such discretionary expenses, if appropriate. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, one stop loans included $161.0 million and $110.0 million, respectively, of late stage lending loans at fair value.

As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we had debt and equity investments in 144 and 118 portfolio companies, respectively. The following table shows the weighted average annualized income yield and weighted average annualized investment income yield of our earning portfolio company investments, which represented approximately 100% of our debt investments, as well as the total return based on our average net asset value and the total return based on the change in the net asset value of our stock and assuming distributions were reinvested in accordance with our dividend reinvestment plan, or DRIP, in each case for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:


	For the three months ended June 30,			For the nine months ended June 30,
	2020	2019	2020	2019
Weighted average annualized income yield⁽¹⁾	7.7%	8.6%	7.7%	8.6%

⁽³⁾Total return based on average net asset value is calculated as (a) the net increase in net assets resulting from operations divided by (b) the daily average of total net assets. Total return does not include sales load.

⁽⁴⁾Total return based on net asset value assumes distributions are reinvested in accordance with the DRIP. Total return does not include sales load.

As of June 30, 2020, GBDC 3 has earned an inception-to-date internal rate of return, or IRR, of 2.8% for stockholders taken as a whole. For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, GBDC 3 earned a fiscal year-to-date IRR of (2.9%) for stockholders taken as a whole. For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, GBDC3 earned a fiscal year-to-date IRR of 11.0% for stockholders taken as a whole. An individual stockholder’s IRR may vary based on the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

timing of their capital transactions. The IRR is the annualized effective compound rate of return that brings a series of cash flows to the current value of the cash invested. The IRR was computed based on the actual dates of cash inflows (share issuances, including share issuances through the DRIP), outflows (capital distributions), the stockholders' net asset value, or NAV, at the end of the period and distributions declared and payable at the end of the period (residual value of the stockholders’ NAV and distributions payable as of each measurement date).

Revenues: We generate revenue in the form of interest and fee income on debt investments and capital gains and distributions, if any, on portfolio company investments that we originate or acquire. Our debt investments, whether in the form of senior secured, one stop, second lien or subordinated loans, typically have a term of three to seven years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. In some cases, our investments provide for deferred interest payments or payment-in-kind, or PIK, interest. The principal amount of loans and any accrued but unpaid interest generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring or due 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 as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans as fee income. For additional details on revenues, see “Critical Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition.”

We recognize realized gains or losses on investments based on the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of the investment or derivative instrument, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We record current period changes in fair value of investments or derivative instruments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment transactions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Expenses: Our primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to GC Advisors under the Investment Advisory Agreement and interest expense on our outstanding debt. We bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including:

•reimbursement to GC Advisors of organizational and offering expenses up to an aggregate amount of $0.7 million;

•calculating our NAV (including the cost and expenses of any independent valuation firm);

•fees and expenses incurred by GC Advisors payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, in monitoring financial and legal affairs for us and in monitoring our investments and performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio companies or otherwise relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments, which fees and expenses include, among other items, due diligence reports, appraisal reports, any studies commissioned by GC Advisors and travel and lodging expenses;

•expenses related to unsuccessful portfolio acquisition efforts;

•administration fees and expenses, if any, payable under the Administration Agreement (including payments based upon our allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs);

•fees payable to third parties, including agents, consultants or other advisors, relating to, or associated with, evaluating and making investments in portfolio companies, including costs associated with meeting financial sponsors;

•transfer agent, dividend agent and custodial fees and expenses;

•U.S. federal and state registration and franchise fees;

•U.S. federal, state and local taxes;

•independent directors’ fees and expenses;

•costs of preparing and filing reports or other documents required by the SEC or other regulators;

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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•costs associated with individual or group stockholders;

•costs associated with compliance under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

•our allocable portion of any fidelity bond, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance, and any other insurance premiums;

•direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone, copying, secretarial and other staff, independent auditors and outside legal costs;

•proxy voting expenses; and

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

We expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable or decline as a percentage of total assets during periods of asset growth and to increase during periods of asset declines.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The rapid spread of COVID-19, which has been identified as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, resulted in governmental authorities imposing restrictions on travel and the temporary closure of many corporate offices, retail stores, restaurants, healthcare facilities, fitness clubs and manufacturing facilities and factories in affected jurisdictions. The pandemic and the resulting economic dislocations have had adverse consequences for the business operations of some of our portfolio companies and has adversely affected, and threatens to continue to adversely affect, our operations and the operations of GC Advisors (including those relating to us). GC Advisors has been monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business and the business of our portfolio companies and has been focused on proactively engaging with our portfolio companies in order to collaborate with the management teams of certain portfolio companies to assess and evaluate the steps each portfolio company can take in response to the impacts of COVID-19.

We cannot predict the full impact of the coronavirus, including the duration of the closures and restrictions described above. While several countries, as well as certain states in the United States, have begun to lift travel restrictions,

business closures and other quarantine measures, recurring COVID-19 outbreaks have led to the re-introduction of

such restrictions in certain states in the United States and globally and could continue to lead to the re-introduction

of such restrictions elsewhere. As a result, we are unable to predict the duration of these business and supply-chain disruptions, the extent to which COVID-19 will negatively affect our portfolio companies’ operating results or the impact that such disruptions may have on our results of operations and financial condition. Depending on the duration and extent of the disruption to the business operations of our portfolio companies, we expect some portfolio companies, particularly those in vulnerable industries such as retail and travel, to experience financial distress and possibly to default on their financial obligations to us and their other capital providers. In addition, if such portfolio companies are subjected to prolonged and severe financial distress, we expect some of them to substantially curtail their operations, defer capital expenditures and lay off workers. These developments would be likely to permanently impair their businesses and result in a reduction in the value of our investments in them.

Business disruption and financial distress experienced by our portfolio companies is likely to reduce, over time, the amount of interest and dividend income that we receive from our investments and may require us to contribute additional capital to such companies in the form of follow on investments. We may need to restructure the capitalization of some portfolio companies, which could result in reduced interest payments or permanent impairments on our investments. Any such decrease in our net investment income would increase the percentage of our cash flows dedicated to debt service and distribution payments to stockholders. If these amounts become unsustainable, we may be required to reduce the amount of our future distributions to stockholders. We proactively and aggressively commenced on a number of actions to support and evaluate our portfolio companies when the COVID-19 pandemic began to impact the U.S. economy including: gathering full information from a variety of sources including third-party experts, management teams of our borrowers, the private equity sponsor owners of our borrowers and other sources; and immediate outreach to our private equity sponsor partners to establish candid, two-way, real-time communications. We believe these actions have led and will lead to increased and better solutions for our borrowers and believe our long-term relationships with these sponsors will create appropriate incentives for them to collaborate with us to address such portfolio company needs; In addition GC Advisors' underwriting team segmented our portfolio to highlight those borrowers with moderate or higher risk of material impacts to their

TABLE OF CONTENTS

business operations from COVID-19. We believe that early identification of vulnerable credits means more and better solutions to address potential problems.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we executed more than 25 credit-enhancing amendments (representing over 10% of total debt investments at fair value) with a focus on borrowers in COVID-19 impacted subsectors. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced a meaningful reversal of some of the unrealized depreciation recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as the U.S. economy began reopening sooner than expected, portfolio companies generally performed better than expected, especially those in COVID-impacted subsectors, and private equity sponsors generally stepped up to support their portfolio companies. Due to the resurgence of COVID-19 in some parts of the country, we remain cautious and concerned about the on-going impacts to the U.S. economy and our portfolio companies from COVID-19, but the positive trends identified above contributed to strong financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

As of June 30, 2020, subject to certain limited exceptions, we were allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. Our revolving credit facilities, described in Note 8 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, include customary covenants and events of default. Any failure on our part to make required payments under such facilities or to comply with such covenants could result in a default under the applicable credit facility or debt instrument. If we are unable to cure such default or obtain a waiver from the applicable lender or holder, we would experience an event of default, and the applicable lender or holder could accelerate the repayment of such indebtedness, which would negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See “Item 1A.—Risk Factors—Risks Relating to our Business and Structure—We intend to finance our investments with borrowed money, which will accelerate and increase the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and may increase the risk of investing in us” included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

We are also subject to financial risks, including changes in market interest rates. Many of the loans in our portfolio have floating interest rates, and we expect that our loans in the future will also have floating interest rates. The interest rates of such loans are based upon a floating interest rate index, typically LIBOR, together with a spread, or margin. They generally also feature interest rate reset provisions that adjust the interest rates under such loans to current market rates on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2020, over 80% of our floating rate loans were subject to a minimum base rate, or floor, that we charge on our loans if the applicable interest rate index falls below such floor. In addition, our revolving credit facilities also have floating rate interest provisions. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related decision of the U.S. Federal Reserve to reduce certain interest rates, LIBOR decreased beginning in March 2020. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in LIBOR are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over LIBOR that we earn on such loans, a decrease in the income incentive fee or a decrease in the interest rate of our floating interest rate liabilities tied to LIBOR. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for an analysis of the impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.

We completed an industry subsegment analysis as of June 30, 2020 to evaluate the exposure of our portfolio companies to adverse effects on their business operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2020, more than 85% of our portfolio at fair value was comprised of investments in industry subsegments that we have identified as less exposed to negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, less than 15% of our portfolio at fair value was comprised of investments in industry subsegments that have and we believe will continue to experience significant financial distress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and less than 1% of our portfolio at fair value was comprised of investments in industry subsegments that were identified as most significantly exposed to adverse effects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2020, less than 1% of our portfolio at fair value represented second lien debt, mezzanine debt and other debt asset classes that we believe are particularly vulnerable due to the economic and market volatility and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our portfolio by industry subsegments and our view of the exposure of our portfolio companies to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as of June 30, 2020 is as follows:

We and GC Advisors continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and guidance from U.S. and international authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and future recommendations from such authorities may further impact our business operations and financial results. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our plan of operation. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in future periods.

Recent Developments

On July 1, 2020, we entered into subscription agreements with additional stockholders totaling $16.5 million in the aggregate.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On July 24, 2020, we issued 89,404.010 shares of common stock through the DRIP.

On August 4, 2020, our board of directors declared a distribution of $0.22 to holders of record as of August 20, 2020, payable on August 21, 2020.

Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and the related effect on the U.S. and global economies has

continued to have adverse consequences for the business operations of some of our portfolio companies and has

adversely affected, and threatens to continue to adversely affect, our operations and the operations of GC Advisors

(including with respect to us). Given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts

of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, to the extent our

portfolio companies are adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may have a material

adverse impact on our future net investment income, the fair value of our portfolio investments, and the results of

operations and financial condition of our portfolio companies.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Consolidated operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:


	For the three months ended June 30,						Variances		For the nine months ended June 30,				Variances
	2020		2019		2020 vs. 2019		2020		2019		2020 vs. 2019

Net income (loss) can vary substantially from period to period for various reasons, including the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, quarterly comparisons of net income (loss) may not be meaningful. In addition, as we have continued to raise and deploy capital, we have experienced significant growth in total assets, total liabilities and net assets from June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2020. As a result, quarterly comparisons of operating results may not be meaningful.

Investment Income

Investment income increased from the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 by $7.4 million and $28.1 million, respectively, primarily as a result of an increase in the average earning debt investments balance, which is the annual average balance of accruing loans in our debt investment portfolio, of $415.7 million and $496.9 million, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The annualized income yield by debt security type for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was as follows:


	For the three months ended June 30,			For the nine months ended June 30,
	2020	2019	2020	2019
Senior secured	6.5%	7.9%	6.4%	7.6%
One stop	7.8%	8.8%	7.9%	8.8%
Second lien	12.1%	12.2%	12.2%	12.2%
Subordinated debt	4.0%	7.6%	4.2%	7.6%

Income yields on one stop and senior secured loans decreased for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in the average LIBOR. As of June 30, 2020, we have one second lien and two subordinated debt investments as shown in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Due to the limited number of second lien and subordinated debt investments, income yields on second lien and subordinated debt investments can be significantly impacted by the addition, subtraction or refinancing of one investment.

For additional details on investment yields and asset mix, refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Portfolio Composition, Investment Activity and Yield” section below.

Expenses

The following table summarizes our expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Interest Expense

Interest and facility fee expenses increased by $0.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively, from the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to an increase in the weighted average of outstanding borrowings of $202.0 million and $235.2 million, respectively. For more information about our outstanding borrowings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, including the terms thereof, see Note 8. Borrowings in the notes to our consolidated financial statements and the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section below.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The effective annualized average interest rate, which includes amortization of debt financing costs and non-usage facility fees, on our outstanding debt decreased to 2.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 4.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to a lower average LIBOR.

The effective annualized average interest rate, which includes amortization of debt financing costs and non-usage facility fees, on our outstanding debt decreased to 3.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 from 5.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to a lower average LIBOR.

Management Fees

The base management fee increased as a result of a sequential increase in average assets from the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Incentive Fees

The incentive fee payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement consists of two parts: (1) the income component, or the Income Incentive Fee, and (2) the capital gains component, or the Capital Gain Incentive Fee. The Income Incentive Fee decreased by $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily as a result of the reversal of the Income Incentive Fee for the three months ended March 31, 2020 described in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements. The Income Incentive Fee increased by $0.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019 primarily as a result of an increase in our average earning debt investment balances that resulted in an increase in our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements), partially offset by the reversal of Income Incentive Fee for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

We recorded an accrual and reversal for the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP, net of waiver, of $0 and $0.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020. The $0 accrual and reversal were primarily due to an increase in unrealized depreciation in the fair value of some of our portfolio company investments due to the immediate adverse economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020, partially offset by the unrealized appreciation recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020. We recorded an accrual for the capital gain incentive fee under GAAP, net of waiver, of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019. In accordance with GAAP, we are required to include the aggregate unrealized capital appreciation on investments in the calculation and accrue a capital gain incentive fee as 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. The cumulative capital gain incentive fee accrual calculated in accordance with GAAP as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was $0 and $0.7 million, respectively, none of which was payable as a Capital Gain Incentive Fee pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. The capital gain incentive fee accrual under GAAP at September 30, 2019 was primarily due to unrealized appreciation in the investment portfolio. For additional details on unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments, refer to the “Net Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses” see section below.

Professional Fees, Administrative Service Fees, and General and Administrative Expenses

In total, professional fees, the administrative service fee, and general and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, from the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020. These increases are associated with increased costs to service a growing portfolio. In general, we expect certain of our operating expenses, including professional fees, the administrative service fee, and other general and administrative expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets during periods of growth and increase as a percentage of our total assets during periods of asset declines.

The Administrator pays for certain expenses incurred by us. These expenses are subsequently reimbursed in cash. Total expenses reimbursed by us to the Administrator for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 were $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Total expenses reimbursed by us to the Administrator for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 were less than $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for accrued expenses paid on behalf of us by the Administrator.

Net Realized and Unrealized Gains and Losses

The following table summarizes our net realized and unrealized gains (losses) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:


	For the three months ended June 30,						Variances		For the nine months ended June 30,				Variances

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, we had less than $28.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in unrealized appreciation on 122 and 35 portfolio company investments, respectively, which was offset by $2.2 million and $22.8 million, respectively, in unrealized depreciation on 27 and 114 portfolio company investments, respectively. Unrealized appreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily resulted from better than expected performance of our portfolio companies and credit market conditions beginning to recover. Unrealized depreciation for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 primarily resulted from decreases in the fair value in the majority of our portfolio company investments due to the immediate adverse economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the continuing uncertainty surrounding its long-term impact and increases in the spread between the yields realized on risk-free and higher risk securities.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, we had $2.2 million and $3.5 million in unrealized appreciation on 56 and 75 portfolio company investments, respectively, which was partially offset by $0.9 million and $1.1 million unrealized depreciation on 85 and 63 portfolio company investments, respectively. Unrealized appreciation during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 resulted from an increase in fair value primarily due to the rise in market prices of portfolio company investments. Unrealized depreciation primarily resulted from the amortization of discounts and negative credit related adjustments that caused a reduction in fair value of portfolio company investments during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized unrealized depreciation on forward currency contracts of $0.2 million and unrealized appreciation of $0.3 million, respectively, which was comprised of favorable and unfavorable movements in currency rates for three open forward currency contracts. See Note 6 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for details of open positions on forward currency contracts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced a net increase in cash and cash equivalents, foreign currencies and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 million. During the period we used $223.3 million in operating activities, primarily as a result of fundings of portfolio investments of $341.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from principal payments and sales of portfolio investments of $96.7 million. During the same period, cash provided by financing activities was $225.5 million, primarily driven by borrowings on debt of $532.3 million, proceeds from short-term borrowings of $21.3 million and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $145.0 million that were partially offset by repayments of debt of $422.5 million, repayments on short-term borrowings of $37.7 million and distributions paid of $12.4 million.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, we experienced a net increase in cash, cash equivalents and foreign currencies of $32.7 million. During the period we used $319.0 million in operating activities, primarily as a result of fundings of portfolio investments of $346.3 million. During the same period, cash provided by financing activities was $351.7 million, primarily driven by borrowings on debt of $405.6 million, proceeds from short-term borrowings of $9.5 million and proceeds from the issuance of common shares of $181.4 million that were partially offset by repayments of debt of $232.4 million, repayments on short-term borrowings of $7.6 million and distributions paid of $4.2 million.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents and restricted foreign currencies can be used to pay principal and interest on our credit facilities and to fund new investments that meet the guidelines under our credit facilities, as applicable.

As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we had investor capital subscriptions totaling $905.3 million and $527.5 million, respectively, of which $479.9 million and $334.9 million, respectively, had been called and contributed, leaving $425.4 million and $192.6 million of uncalled investor capital subscriptions, respectively.

This "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section should be read in conjunction with the "COVID-19 Pandemic" section above.

Revolving Credit Facilities

SB Revolver - On February 4, 2019, we entered into the SB Revolver (as defined in Note 8 of our consolidated financial statements) with Signature Bank, which initially allowed us to borrow up to $175.0 million at any one time outstanding, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions. On April 8, 2019, we entered into an amendment which increased the borrowing capacity under the SB Revolver to $225.0 million. On February 7, 2020, we entered into an amendment which increased the borrowing capacity under the SB Revolver to $275.0 million and through April 7, 2020, increased the borrowing base against which we may borrow. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we had $230.3 million and $144.4 million outstanding, respectively, under the SB Revolver. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, we had approximately $38.7 million and $80.6 million of remaining commitments, respectively, and $38.7 million and $0 of availability on the SB Revolver.

DB Credit Facility - On September 10, 2019, we entered into the DB Credit Facility (as defined in Note 8 of our consolidated financial statements). As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the DB Credit Facility allowed GBDC 3 Funding LLC, or GBDC 3 Funding, to borrow up to $250.0 million at any one time outstanding, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we had $150.2 million and $122.7 million outstanding under the DB Credit Facility, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions, we had approximately $99.8 million and $127.3 million of remaining commitments, respectively, $99.8 million and less than $1.0 million of availability on the DB Credit Facility, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Adviser Revolver - As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we were permitted to borrow up to $40.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively, at any one time outstanding under the Adviser Revolver (as defined in Note 8 of our consolidated financial statements). As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we had $0 and $3.5 million, respectively, outstanding under the Adviser Revolver. On October 28, 2019, we entered into an amendment to the Adviser Revolver, which decreased the borrowing capacity from $125.0 million to $40.0 million.

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are currently allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. We have not sought or obtained approval to reduce our asset coverage ratio as permitted by and subject to the requirements of Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act and, as a result, remain subject to the 200% asset coverage requirement under Section 61(a)(1) of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2020, our asset coverage for borrowed amounts was 227.8%.

As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $100.3 million, including $6.5 million of commitments on undrawn revolvers. As of September 30, 2019, we had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $107.2 million. There is no guarantee that these amounts will be funded to the borrowing party now or in the future. The unfunded commitments relate to loans with various maturity dates, but the entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, subject to the terms of each loan’s respective credit agreement. As of June 30, 2020, we believe that we had sufficient assets and liquidity to adequately cover future obligations under our unfunded commitments based on historical rates of drawings upon unfunded commitments and cash balances that we maintain, availability under our SB Revolver, DB Credit Facility and Adviser Revolver, ongoing principal repayments on debt investments assets and uncalled investor capital subscriptions.

Although we expect to fund the growth of our investment portfolio through net proceeds from capital calls on existing and future investor capital subscriptions and through our dividend reinvestment plan as well as future borrowings, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, we cannot assure you that our efforts to raise capital will be successful. In addition, we can amend, refinance, or enter into new leverage facilities. In addition to capital not being available, it also could not be available on favorable terms. To the extent we are not able to raise capital on what we believe are favorable terms, we will focus on optimizing returns by investing capital generated from repayments into new investments we believe are attractive from a risk/reward perspective. Furthermore, to the extent we are not able to raise capital and are at or near our targeted leverage ratios, we expect to receive smaller allocations, if any, on new investment opportunities under GC Advisors’ allocation policy.

Portfolio Composition, Investment Activity and Yield

As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, we had investments in 144 and 118 portfolio companies, respectively, with a total fair value of $848.5 million and $617.0 million, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Due to a significant drop in merger and acquisition activity as a result of the market conditions brought on by COVID-19, new commitments declined during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, we had approximately $17.1 million and $96.7 million, respectively, in proceeds from principal payments, return of capital distributions of portfolio companies and sales of equity investments in portfolio companies. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, we had approximately $9.0 million and $18.6 million, respectively, in proceeds from principal payments, return of capital distributions of portfolio companies and sales of equity investments in portfolio companies.

⁽¹⁾As of June 30, 2020, $53.3 million and $51.7 million of our loans at amortized cost and fair value, respectively, included a feature permitting a portion of interest due on such loan to be PIK interest.

⁽²⁾As of September 30, 2019, $40.0 million and $40.6 million of our loans at amortized cost and fair value, respectively, included a feature permitting a portion of interest due on such loan to be PIK interest.

⁽³⁾We refer to a loan as non-accrual when we cease recognizing interest income on the loan because we have stopped pursuing repayment of the loan or, in certain circumstances, it is past due 90 days or more on principal and interest or our management has reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. See “— Critical Accounting Policies — Revenue Recognition.”

As of June 30, 2020, we had loans in one portfolio company on non-accrual status, and non-accrual investments as

a percentage of total debt investments at cost and fair value were 0.4% and 0.3%, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, we had no loans on non-accrual status. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the fair value of our debt investments as a percentage of the outstanding principal value was 97.1% and 99.6%, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following table shows the weighted average rate, spread over LIBOR of floating rate and fees of investments originated for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:


	For the three months ended June 30,			For the nine months ended June 30,
	2020	2019	2020	2019
Weighted average rate of new investment fundings	6.5%	8.6%	7.4%	8.1%
Weighted average spread over LIBOR of new floating rate investment fundings	5.4%	6.1%	5.4%	5.6%
Weighted average fees of new investment fundings	1.0%	1.4%	1.4%	1.5%

As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, 97.9% and 86.0%, respectively, of our debt portfolio at fair value and at amortized cost had interest rate floors that limit the minimum applicable interest rates on such loans.

As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the portfolio median earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, for our portfolio companies was $36.2 million and $29.4 million, respectively. The portfolio median EBITDA is based on the most recently reported trailing twelve-month EBITDA received from the portfolio company.

As part of the monitoring process, GC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and rates each of them based on an internal system developed by Golub Capital and its affiliates. This system is not generally accepted in our industry or used by our competitors. It is based on the following categories, which we refer to as GC Advisors’ internal performance ratings:

Internal Performance Ratings

Rating

Definition

Involves the least amount of risk in our portfolio. The borrower is performing above expectations, and the trends and risk factors are generally favorable.

Involves an acceptable level of risk that is similar to the risk at the time of origination. The borrower is generally performing as expected, and the risk factors are neutral to favorable.

Involves a borrower performing below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased somewhat since origination. The borrower could be out of compliance with debt covenants; however, loan payments are generally not past due.

Involves a borrower performing materially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has increased materially since origination. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments could be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).

Involves a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicates that the loan’s risk has substantially increased since origination. Most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Loans rated 1 are not anticipated to be repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of the loan to the amount we anticipate will be recovered.

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.

For any investment rated 1, 2 or 3, GC Advisors will increase its monitoring intensity and prepare regular updates for the investment committee, summarizing current operating results and material impending events and suggesting recommended actions.

GC Advisors monitors and, when appropriate, changes the internal performance ratings assigned to each investment in our portfolio. In connection with our valuation process, GC Advisors and our board of directors review these internal performance ratings on a quarterly basis.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 5 internal performance rating scale at fair value as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019:

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

A summary of our significant contractual payment obligations as of June 30, 2020 is as follows:


	Payments Due by Period (In Thousands)
	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1 – 3 Years		3 – 5 Years		More Than 5 Years
SB Revolver	$	230,284	$	230,284	$	—	$	—	$	—

DB Credit Facility	150,171		—		—		—		150,171

Unfunded commitments ⁽¹⁾	100,346		100,346		—		—		—
Total contractual obligations	$	480,801	$	330,630	$	—	$	—	$	150,171

⁽¹⁾Unfunded commitments represent unfunded commitments to fund investments as of June 30, 2020. There is no guarantee that these amounts will be funded to the borrowing party now or in the future. The unfunded commitments relate to loans with various maturity dates, but we are showing this amount in the less than one year category as this entire amount was eligible for funding to the borrowers as of June 30, 2020, subject to the terms of each loan’s respective credit agreement. The unfunded commitments amount does not include $109.4 million of commitments as of June 30, 2020 for GBDC 3 Senior Loan Fund LLC, which is described in Note 5 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

We may become a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of our business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. These instruments include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding commitments to fund investments totaling $100.3 million, including $6.5 million of commitments on undrawn revolvers.

We have certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. We have entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with GC Advisors in accordance with the 1940 Act. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, GC Advisors provides us with investment advisory and management services.

Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes us with office facilities and equipment, provides us with clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities and provides us with other administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. The Administrator also provides on our behalf managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to offer to provide such assistance.

If any of the contractual obligations discussed above is terminated, our costs under any new agreements that we enter into may increase. In addition, we would likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we receive under our Investment Advisory Agreement and our Administration Agreement. Any new investment advisory agreement would also be subject to approval by our stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Distributions

We intend to make periodic distributions to our stockholders as determined by our board of directors. For additional information on distributions, see “Critical Accounting Policies - Income Taxes.”

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of our distributions from time to time. In addition, the asset coverage requirements applicable to us as a business development company under the 1940 Act could limit our ability to make distributions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including the possible loss of our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.

Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations can differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences are permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified within capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. For example, permanent differences in classification result from the treatment of distributions paid from short-term gains as ordinary income dividends for tax purposes. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any tax year, a portion of those distributions could be deemed a return of capital to our stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, the source of a distribution to our stockholders could be the original capital invested by the stockholder rather than our income or gains. Stockholders should read any written disclosure accompanying a distribution payment carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our ordinary income or gains.

We have adopted an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if we declare a distribution, our stockholders’ cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock unless a stockholder specifically “opts out” of our dividend reinvestment plan. If a stockholder opts out, that stockholder will receive cash distributions. Although distributions paid in the form of additional shares of our common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions, stockholders participating in our dividend reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash distributions with which to pay any such applicable taxes.

Related Party Transactions

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:

•We entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with GC Advisors. Each of Mr. Lawrence Golub, our chairman, and Mr. David Golub, our president and chief executive officer, is a manager of GC Advisors, and each of Messrs. Lawrence Golub and David Golub owns an indirect pecuniary interest in GC Advisors.

•Golub Capital LLC provides us with the office facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct day-to-day operations pursuant to our Administration Agreement.

•We have entered into a license agreement with Golub Capital LLC, pursuant to which Golub Capital LLC has granted us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Golub Capital.”

•Under a staffing agreement, or the Staffing Agreement, Golub Capital LLC has agreed to provide GC Advisors with the resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Staffing Agreement provides that Golub Capital LLC will make available to GC Advisors experienced investment professionals and provide access to the senior investment personnel of Golub Capital LLC for purposes of evaluating, negotiating, structuring, closing and monitoring our investments. The Staffing Agreement also includes a commitment that the members of GC Advisors’ investment committee will serve in such capacity. Services under the Staffing Agreement are provided on a direct cost reimbursement basis. We are not a party to the Staffing Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•We have entered into the Adviser Revolver with GC Advisors in order to have the ability to borrow funds on a short-term basis.

GC Advisors also sponsors or manages, and expects in the future to sponsor or manage, other investment funds, accounts or investment vehicles (together referred to as “accounts”) that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole and in part, with ours. For example, GC Advisors presently serves as the investment adviser to Golub Capital BDC, Inc., a publicly-traded business development company (Nasdaq: GBDC) which focuses on investing primarily in one stop and other senior secured loans of U.S. middle-market companies. In addition, our officers and directors serve in similar capacities for Golub Capital BDC, Inc. If GC Advisors and its affiliates determine that an investment is appropriate for us and for other such accounts, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, and pursuant to GC Advisors’ allocation policy, GC Advisors or its affiliates could determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other accounts. We do not intend to make any investments if they are not permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, or if they are inconsistent with GC Advisors’ allocation procedures.

In addition, we have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of our and GC Advisors’ officers, directors and employees. Our officers and directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by both the 1940 Act and the General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.

Fair Value Measurements

We value investments for which market quotations are readily available at their market quotations. However, a readily available market value is not expected to exist for many of the investments in our portfolio, and we value these portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors under our valuation policy and process.

Valuation methods include comparisons of the portfolio companies to peer companies that are public, determination of the enterprise value of a portfolio company, discounted cash flow analysis and a market interest rate approach. The factors that are taken into account in fair value pricing investments include: 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 and the markets in which it does business; comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public; comparable merger and acquisition transactions; and the principal market and enterprise values. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private equity 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 the investments can differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and differ materially from values that are ultimately received or settled.

Our board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value of investments that are not publicly traded, whose market prices are not readily available on a quarterly basis or any other situation where portfolio investments require a fair value determination.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company investment being initially valued by the investment professionals of GC Advisors responsible for credit monitoring. Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with our senior management and GC Advisors. The audit committee of our board of directors reviews these preliminary valuations. At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment, subject to a de minimis threshold, is reviewed by an independent valuation firm. The board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith.

Determination of fair values involves subjective judgments and estimates. Under current accounting standards, the notes to our consolidated financial statements refer to the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our consolidated financial statements.

We follow ASC Topic 820 for measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the assets or liabilities or market and the assets’ or liabilities’ complexity. Our fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Assets and liabilities are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 3: Inputs include significant unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information available and may require significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and we consider factors specific to the asset or liability. We assess the levels of assets and liabilities at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers. There were no transfers among Level 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The following section describes the valuation techniques used by us to measure different assets and liabilities at fair value and includes the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the assets and liabilities are categorized.

Valuation of Investments

Level 1 investments are valued using quoted market prices. Level 2 investments are valued using market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, based on input of management, the audit committee and independent valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of our board of directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing twelve-month period under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. This valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, with approximately 25% (based on the number of portfolio companies) of our valuations of debt and equity investments without readily available market quotations subject to review by an independent valuation firm. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, with the exception of money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents and restrictive cash and cash equivalents (Level 1 investments) and forward currency contracts (Level 2 investments), all investments were valued using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

When determining fair value of Level 3 debt and equity investments, we may take into account the following factors, where relevant: 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, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons to publicly traded securities, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made and other relevant factors. The primary method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s EBITDA. A portfolio company’s EBITDA may include pro-forma adjustments for items such as acquisitions, divestitures, or expense reductions. The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments and to determine if debt investments are credit impaired. If debt investments are credit impaired, we will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value. For debt investments that are not determined to be credit impaired, we use a market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value.

In addition, for certain debt investments, we may base our valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that we and others may be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the lowest price that we and others may be willing to accept. We generally use the midpoint of the bid/ask range as our best estimate of fair value of such investment.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded.

Our investments are subject to market risk. Market risk is the potential for changes in the value due to market changes. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the investments are traded.

In connection with each sale of shares of our common stock, we make a determination that we are not selling shares of our common stock at a price below the then-current net asset value per share of common stock at the time at which the sale is made or otherwise in violation of the 1940 Act. GC Advisors will consider the following factors, among others, in making such determination:

•The net asset value of our common stock disclosed in the most recent periodic report filed with the SEC;

•Its assessment of whether any change in the net asset value per share of our common stock has occurred (including through the realization of gains on the sale of portfolio securities) during the period beginning on the date of the most recently disclosed net asset value per share of our common stock and ending two days prior to the date of the sale; and

•The magnitude of the difference between the sale price of the shares of common stock and management’s assessment of any change in the net asset value per share of our common stock during the period discussed above.

Valuation of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair value of our debt is estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting remaining payments using comparable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date, if available.

Revenue Recognition:

Our revenue recognition policies are as follows:

Investments and Related Investment Income: Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual interest terms of debt investments. Premiums, discounts, and origination fees are amortized

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or accreted into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment. For investments with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest accrued and added to the principal balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we do not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not likely to be collectible. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance, consulting fees and prepayment premiums on loans and record these fees as fee income when earned. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We record prepayment premiums on loans as fee income. Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income 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 securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Distributions received from LLC, and limited partnership, or LP, investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, we will not record distributions from equity investments in LLCs and LPs as dividend income unless there are sufficient accumulated tax-basis earnings and profits in the LLC or LP prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

We account for investment transactions on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We report changes in fair value of investments from the prior period that is measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment transactions in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-accrual: Loans may be left on accrual status during the period we are pursuing repayment of the loan. Management reviews all loans that become past due 90 days or more on principal and interest or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected for possible placement on non-accrual status. We generally reverse accrued interest when a loan is placed on non-accrual. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment. We restore non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid and, in our management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. As of June 30, 2020, the total fair value of non-accrual loans was $2.3 million. As of September 30, 2019, we had no portfolio company investments on non-accrual status.

Income taxes:

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. In order to be subject to tax as a RIC, we are required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements, as well as timely distribute to our stockholders dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code and determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid, for each tax year. We have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders, which will generally relieve us from U.S. federal income taxes.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions and would distribute such taxable income in the next tax year. We may then be required to incur a 4% excise tax on such income. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income, determined on a calendar year basis, could exceed estimated current calendar year dividend distributions, we accrue excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned. For each of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not incur any U.S federal excise tax.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Many of the loans in our portfolio have floating interest rates, and we expect that our loans in the future may also have floating interest rates. These loans are usually based on a floating LIBOR and typically have interest rate reset provisions that adjust applicable interest rates under such loans to current market rates on a quarterly basis. The loans that are subject to floating LIBOR are also generally subject to a minimum base rate, or floor, that we charge on our loans if the current market rates are below the respective floors. As of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the weighted average LIBOR floor on the loans subject to floating interest rates was 0.89% and 1.01%, respectively. In addition, the SB Revolver has a floating interest rate provision based on the one-month, two-month, or three-month LIBOR, the DB Credit Facility has a floating interest rate provision equal to three-month LIBOR and the Adviser Revolver has a floating interest rate provision equal to the short-term Applicable Federal Rate. We expect that other credit facilities into which we enter in the future may have floating interest rate provisions.

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have reduced certain interest rates and LIBOR has decreased. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in LIBOR are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over LIBOR that we can earn on any portfolio investments, a decrease in our operating expenses, including with respect to our income incentive fee, or a decrease in the interest rate of our floating interest rate liabilities tied to LIBOR.

Assuming that the interim and unaudited Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2020 was to remain constant and that we took no actions to alter our interest rate sensitivity as of such date, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.


Change in interest rates	Increase (decrease) in interest income		Increase (decrease) in interest expense		Net increase (decrease) in investment income
	(In thousands)
Down 25 basis points	$	(268)	$	(951)	$	683
Up 50 basis points	536		1,902		(1,366)
Up 100 basis points	8,404		3,805		4,599
Up 150 basis points	12,605		5,707		6,898
Up 200 basis points	16,949		7,609		9,340

Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes as of June 30, 2020, it does not adjust for changes in the credit market, credit quality, the size and composition of the assets in our portfolio and other business developments, including borrowings under the SB Revolver, DB Credit Facility, the Adviser Revolver or other borrowings, that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, we can offer no assurances that actual results would not differ materially from the analysis above.

We could in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as interest rate swaps, futures, options and forward contracts to the limited extent permitted under the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the investments in our portfolio with fixed interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of June 30, 2020 (the end of the period covered by this report), management, with the participation of 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) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that, at the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

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.
