Great Elm Capital (NASDAQ: GECC) shifts portfolio mix, waives incentive fees in 2026
Great Elm Capital Corp. is a business development company focused on secured debt and income‑generating equity in middle‑market borrowers, specialty finance platforms and CLO equity. The investment portfolio’s fair value was 268,286 (in thousands) at June 30, 2026, down from 298,268 (in thousands) at December 31, 2025, with largest exposures to structured finance, specialty finance, technology and consumer products.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total investment income was 20,440 (in thousands), below 26,772 (in thousands) a year earlier as lower average coupon rates and a smaller debt portfolio reduced interest income. Net expenses fell to 10,780 (in thousands), helped by the adviser’s waiver of 3.7 million of previously accrued incentive fees, which increased net income and net asset value.
GECC reported net realized gains of 5,575 (in thousands), mainly from Stone Ridge Opportunities Fund LP, CW Opportunity 2 LP and American Coastal Insurance Corp. securities. It also recorded net unrealized depreciation of 9,379 (in thousands), driven by declines in CLO JV, Universal Fiber Systems and Great Elm Specialty Finance, partly offset by recoveries on Del Monte Foods and other positions. The debt portfolio’s weighted average yield was 11.10% at quarter‑end, including non‑accruals.
Positive
- The adviser waived 3.7 million of accrued incentive fees through June 30, 2026, reversing prior accruals and boosting net income and net asset value, with the waiver not subject to recapture.
- Net realized gains rose to 5,575 (in thousands) for the six months ended June 30, 2026, driven by realizations in Stone Ridge Opportunities Fund LP, CW Opportunity 2 LP and American Coastal Insurance Corp. securities.
Negative
- Total investment income declined to 20,440 (in thousands) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from 26,772 (in thousands) a year earlier, reflecting lower average coupon rates and a smaller debt portfolio.
- Net unrealized depreciation reached 9,379 (in thousands) for the six months ended June 30, 2026, led by losses in CLO JV, Universal Fiber Systems and Great Elm Specialty Finance.
- Portfolio fair value fell to 268,286 (in thousands) at June 30, 2026 from 298,268 (in thousands) at December 31, 2025, indicating net shrinkage of invested assets.

The financial statements listed in the index to financial statements immediately following the signature page to this report are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
We are a BDC that seeks to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and income generating equity investments, including investments in specialty finance businesses. To achieve our investment objective, we invest in secured and senior secured debt instruments of middle market companies, as well as income generating equity investments in specialty finance companies, that we believe offer sufficient downside protection and have the potential to generate attractive returns. In addition, we invest in collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) securities and related warehouse facilities. We generally define middle market companies as companies with enterprise values between $100 million and $2 billion. We also make investments throughout other portions of a company’s capital structure, including subordinated debt, mezzanine debt, and equity or equity linked securities. We source these transactions directly with issuers and in the secondary markets through relationships with industry professionals.
On April 23, 2024, we contributed investments in certain CLOs and formed a joint venture, the CLO Formation JV, LLC (the “CLO JV”) to facilitate the creation of CLOs. The CLO JV invests primarily in the subordinated note securities in CLOs (colloquially referred to as “CLO equity”), as well as loan accumulation facilities (colloquially referred to as “CLO warehouses”). CLO subordinated note securities are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the residual cash flow of payments received from underlying securities after contractual payments to more senior CLO mezzanine debt holders and fund expenses.
On September 1, 2023, we contributed investments in certain of our operating company subsidiaries and other specialty finance assets to our formerly wholly owned subsidiary, Great Elm Specialty Finance, LLC (“GESF”) in exchange for equity and subordinated indebtedness in GESF. In connection with this contribution, a strategic investor purchased approximately 12.5% of the equity interests and subordinated indebtedness in GESF. Through its subsidiaries, GESF provides a variety of financing options along a “continuum of lending” to middle-market borrowers, including receivables factoring, asset-based and asset-backed lending, lender finance, and equipment financing. GESF expects to generate both revenue and cost synergies across its specialty finance company subsidiaries.
On September 27, 2016, we and Great Elm Capital Management, LLC (“GECM”), our external investment manager, entered into an investment management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) and an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”), and we began to accrue obligations to our external investment manager under those agreements. On August 1, 2022, upon receiving our stockholders’ approval, we and GECM entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Agreement to reset the capital gains incentive fee to begin on April 1, 2022, which eliminated $163.2 million of realized and unrealized losses incurred prior to April 1, 2022 in calculating future incentive fees. In addition, the incentive fee based on income was amended to reset the mandatory deferral commencement date used in calculating deferred incentive fees to April 1, 2022. The Investment Management Agreement renews for successive annual periods, subject to requisite approvals from our board of directors (our “Board”) and/or stockholders.
We have elected to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a RIC, we will not be taxed on our income to the extent that we distribute such income each year and satisfy other applicable income tax requirements. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and annually distribute to our stockholders generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income on a timely basis. If we qualify as a RIC, we generally will not have to pay corporate level taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders.
Investments
Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including, among others, the amount of debt and equity capital available from other sources to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity, pricing in the high yield and leveraged loan credit markets, our expectations of future investment opportunities, the general economic environment as well as the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.
As a BDC, our investments and the composition of our portfolio are required to comply with regulatory requirements.
3
Revenues
We generate revenue primarily from interest on the debt investments that we hold. We may also generate revenue from dividends on the equity investments that we hold, capital gains on the disposition of investments and other income. Our investments in fixed income instruments generally have an expected maturity of three to five years, although we have no lower or upper constraint on maturity. Our debt investments generally pay interest quarterly or semi-annually. Payments of principal of our debt investments may be amortized over the stated term of the investment, deferred for several years or due entirely at maturity. In some cases, our debt investments and preferred stock investments may defer payments of cash interest or dividends or payment-in-kind (“PIK”). In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of prepayment fees, commitment, origination, due diligence fees, end-of-term or exit fees, fees for providing significant managerial assistance, consulting fees and other investment-related income.
Expenses
Our primary operating expenses include the payment of a base management fee, administration fees (including the allocable portion of overhead under the Administration Agreement), and, depending on our operating results, an incentive fee. The base management fee and incentive fee remunerates GECM for work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. The Administration Agreement provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred for office space rental, office equipment and utilities allocable to us under the Administration Agreement, as well as certain costs and expenses incurred relating to non-investment advisory, administrative or operating services provided by GECM or its affiliates to us. We also bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions. In addition, our expenses include interest on our outstanding indebtedness.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
We value our portfolio investments at fair value based upon the principles and methods of valuation set forth in policies adopted by our Board. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset that (1) are independent of us; (2) are knowledgeable, having a reasonable understanding about the asset based on all available information (including information that might be obtained through due diligence efforts that are usual and customary); (3) are able to transact for the asset; and (4) are willing to transact for the asset (that is, they are motivated but not forced or otherwise compelled to do so).
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations unless the quotations are deemed not to represent fair value. Debt and equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, are valued at fair value using a valuation process consistent with our Board-approved policy.
GECM, as the Board’s valuation designee, approves in good faith the valuation of our portfolio as of the end of each quarter, subject to the general oversight of the Board of Directors. Due to the inherent uncertainty and subjectivity of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events may impact the market quotations used to value some of our investments.
Those investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in determining the fair value of our investments include, as relevant and among other factors: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables; applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights and the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, and merger and acquisition comparables; and enterprise values.
4
We prefer the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in our valuation process. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Both observable and unobservable inputs are subject to some level of uncertainty and assumptions used bear the risk of change in the future. We utilize the best information available to us, including the factors listed above, in preparing the fair valuations. In determining the fair value of any individual investment, we may use multiple inputs or utilize more than one approach to calculate the fair value to assess the sensitivity to change and determine a reasonable range of fair value. In addition, our valuation procedures include an assessment of the current valuation as compared to the previous valuation for each investment and where differences are material understanding the primary drivers of those changes, incorporating updates to our current valuation inputs and approaches as appropriate.
Revenue Recognition
Interest and dividend income, including PIK income, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees, including original issue discounts (“OID”), earned with respect to capital commitments are generally amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment, as are end-of-term or exit fees receivable upon repayment of a debt investment if such fees are fixed in nature. Other fees, including certain amendment fees, prepayment fees and commitment fees on broken deals, and end-of-term or exit fees that have a contingency feature or are variable in nature are recognized as earned. Prepayment fees and similar income due upon the early repayment of a loan or debt security are recognized when earned and are included in interest income.
We may purchase debt investments at a discount to their face value. Discounts on the acquisition of corporate debt instruments are generally amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method unless there are material questions as to collectability.
We assess the outstanding accrued income receivables for collectability at least quarterly, or more frequently if there is an event that indicates the underlying portfolio company may not be able to make the expected payments. If it is determined that amounts are not likely to be paid we may establish a reserve against or reverse the income and put the investment on non-accrual status.
Net Realized Gains (Losses) and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale of an investment and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method.
Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the net change in portfolio investment fair values and portfolio investment cost bases during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

Investment income consists of interest income, including net amortization of premium and accretion of discount on loans and debt securities, dividend income and other income, which primarily consists of amendment fees, commitment fees and funding fees on loans.
Interest income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to a lower average coupon rate across the portfolio combined with a decrease in the debt investment portfolio size. As of June 30, 2026, the debt investment portfolio had an average coupon rate of 10.6% on approximately $199.6 million of principal as compared to 11.7% on approximately $232.6 million of principal as of June 30, 2025, excluding positions on non-accrual in each period. Interest income includes PIK interest which is reported in the Statements of Operations. The total PIK interest earned remained consistent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year.
Dividend income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 due to fewer holdings in dividend-paying equity investments and reductions in distributions from the investment in the CLO JV which distributed $5.1 million and $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Other income is comprised of non-refundable carry fees, early repayment fees, and amendment fees on new and amended debt positions. There were no significant changes in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The six months ended June 30, 2025 includes one-time fees on multiple new and amended investments made in the first quarter of 2025, resulting in a decrease in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year period.

Expenses are largely comprised of advisory fees and administration fees paid to GECM and interest expense on our outstanding notes payable. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Advisory fees include management fees and incentive fees calculated in accordance with the Investment Management Agreement, and administration fees include direct costs reimbursable to GECM under the Administration Agreement and fees paid for sub-administration services.
Management fees decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 due to a decrease in the underlying management fee assets, primarily due to a decline in the fair value of the portfolio of investments, in the current year periods as compared to the corresponding prior year periods.
Effective February 2026, GECM waived all accrued and unpaid incentive fees through March 31, 2026. Effective April 2026, GECM waived all accrued and unpaid incentive fees through June 30, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, there were approximately $2.3 million of accrued and unpaid incentive fees on our balance sheet. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, an additional $1.4 million of incentive fees were accrued, resulting in $3.7 million of accrued and unpaid incentive fees. In connection with the incentive fee waiver, we recognized the reversal of these accrued and unpaid incentive fees during the six months ended June 30, 2026, resulting in a corresponding increase in net income and increase in net asset value in the period (subject to any offsetting additional expenses or losses). The incentive fee waiver is not subject to recapture.
Professional services costs increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to general rate increases for professional services, including legal and accounting fees, along with certain one-time fees.
Administration fees increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to higher allocable overhead and other expenses incurred by GECM under the Administration Agreement.
Interest expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to lower average principal balances outstanding on the Notes during the period.

Realized gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 includes approximately $2.7 million from the realization of our investment in Stone Ridge Opportunities Fund, LP (“Stone Ridge”), $1.9 million from distributions from our investment in CW Opportunity 2 LP, and $1.3 million from the partial realization of our investment in the unsecured bond of American Coastal Insurance Corp (“American Coastal”). Realized losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were primarily driven by a $0.2 million loss on the sale of our equity investment in the State Street Blackstone Senior Loan ETF, $0.2 million from the partial realization of our investment in the first lien term loan of Auction.com, and $0.2 million from the realization of our investment in Invesco Senior Loan Fund. The remaining realized losses were attributable to smaller positions, none of which were individually material, and reflected routine portfolio activity.
Net realized gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 includes $0.2 million in gains from the realization of our investment in Lummus Technology Holdings unsecured bonds and $0.1 million in gains from the realization of our investment in Harvey Gulf term loan. Net realized gain for the six months ended June 30, 2025 also includes $0.2 million in gains from the realization of our investment in W&T Offshore Inc. secured bonds.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net unrealized depreciation was primarily attributable to (i) approximately $1.7 million of unrealized depreciation attributable to the reversal of previously recognized unrealized appreciation on our investment in Trouvaille Re Ltd. in connection with a distribution received during the period and (ii) approximately $0.8 million of unrealized depreciation related to our equity investment in Great Elm Specialty Finance. These unrealized losses were partially offset by unrealized appreciation of approximately $0.6 million related to our investment in CW Opportunity LP.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net unrealized depreciation was primarily attributable to (i) approximately $3.8 million of unrealized depreciation related to our investment in CLO JV, driven by decreases in the fair value of the underlying CLO investments, (ii) approximately $2.2 million of net unrealized depreciation related to our investment in Universal Fiber Systems, LLC (“Universal Fibers”), and (iii) approximately $1.5 million related to our equity investment in Great Elm Specialty Finance. In addition, unrealized depreciation included approximately $2.6 million attributable to the reversal of previously recognized unrealized appreciation on our investment in Stone Ridge and approximately $1.6 million attributable to the reversal of previously recognized unrealized appreciation on our investment in American Coastal, in each case in connection with the realization activity discussed above.
10
These unrealized losses were partially offset by unrealized appreciation attributable to the increase in fair value of approximately $1.1 million related to our investment in CW Opportunity 2 LP. In addition, unrealized appreciation included approximately $1.1 million attributable to the reversal of previously recognized unrealized depreciation on our investment in Del Monte Food Corp II, Inc., primarily in connection with a $1.6 million partial paydown of our junior debtor-in-possession loan, and $0.4 million attributable to the reversal of previously recognized unrealized depreciation on our investment in Mad Engine Global, LLC in connection with the full repayment of the loan during the period.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, unrealized appreciation was primarily driven by an increase in fair value of our investment in CW Opportunity 2, LP of approximately $13.7 million. Unrealized depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by a decrease in fair value of approximately $2.2 million in the CLO JV common equity, $1.6 million in Trouvaille Re Ltd. preference shares, and $1.5 million in Maverick Gaming, LLC term loans.
Net unrealized appreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in fair value of our investment in CW Opportunity 2, LP of $12.7 million. These gains were offset by decreases in the fair value of our investments in the CLO JV, Flexsys Cayman Holdings, LP, and Maverick Gaming LLC of $4.1 million, $1.8 million, and $1.7 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate liquidity through our operations with cash received from investment income and sales and paydowns on investments. Such proceeds are generally reinvested in new investment opportunities, distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends, or used to pay operating expenses. We also receive proceeds from our issuances of notes payable and our revolving credit facility and from time to time may raise additional equity capital. See “—Revolver” and “—Notes Payable” below for more information regarding our outstanding credit facility and notes.
As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately $4.0 million of short term investments in money market fund investments. As of June 30, 2026, we had investments in 68 debt instruments across 53 companies, totaling approximately $192.6 million at fair value and 20 equity investments in 15 companies, with an aggregate fair value of approximately $75.7 million.
In the normal course of business, we may enter into investment agreements under which we commit to make an investment in a portfolio company at some future date or over a specified period of time. As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately $6.1 million in unfunded commitments to provide financing to certain of our portfolio companies. We had sufficient availability on our Revolver as well as cash and other liquid assets on our June 30, 2026 balance sheet to satisfy the unfunded commitments.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $36.6 million, reflecting $92.1 million provided by the sales of investments and principal payments offset by $60.4 million used for the purchase of investments and $0.9 million from the change in short-term investments.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used for financing activities was $36.8 million. Cash outflows included $39.0 million to repurchase and redeem the 5.875% notes due 2026 (the “GECCO Notes”), $0.5 million from the repurchases of common stock, and $7.7 million in distributions to stockholders, partially offset by cash inflows of $11.0 million of net borrowings on the Revolver.
We believe we have sufficient liquidity available to meet our short-term and long-term obligations for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter.

We have certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. Under the Investment Management Agreement, GECM provides investment advisory services to us. For providing these services, we pay GECM a fee, consisting of two components: (1) a base management fee based on the average value of our total assets and (2) an incentive fee based on our performance.
We are also party to the Administration Agreement with GECM. Under the Administration Agreement, GECM furnishes us with, or otherwise arranges for the provision of, office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping, finance, accounting, compliance and record keeping services at such office facilities and other such services as our administrator.
If any of the contractual obligations discussed above are 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 expect to receive under our Investment Management Agreement and our Administration Agreement. Any new investment management agreement would also be subject to approval by our stockholders.
Both the Investment Management Agreement and the Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon no fewer than 60 days’ written notice to the other.
Revolver
On May 5, 2021, we entered into a Loan, Guarantee and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with City National Bank (“CNB”). The Loan Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) of up to $25 million (subject to a borrowing base as defined in the Loan Agreement). We may request to increase the revolving line in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25 million, which increase is subject to the sole discretion of CNB. In November 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement extending the maturity date of the revolving line to May 5, 2027. We are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on any unused portion of the revolving line of credit when less than $25 million is drawn; if borrowings are $25 million or more on the facility, the commitment fee decreases to 0.25% per annum on any unused portion of the revolving line of credit.
On August 13, 2025, we amended the Loan Agreement to increase the commitment of the revolving line of credit to up to $50 million (subject to a borrowing base as defined in the Loan Agreement). The amendment also allows us to request an increase of the Revolving Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $40 million (up to a revolving line of $90 million), which increase is subject to the sole discretion of CNB and updates the maturity date of the revolving line to the earlier of (i) May 5, 2027 and (ii) May 31, 2026 if the Company’s 5.875% notes due 2026 have not been refinanced prior to such date. In addition, the amendment provides that borrowings under the Revolving Facility shall bear interest at a rate equal to (i) at all times when a minimum deposit test is met (a) SOFR plus 2.50% or (b) a base rate plus 1.50% and (ii) at all times when a minimum deposit test is not met (a) SOFR plus 3.50% or (b) a base rate plus 2.50%. The amendment also amended the financial covenant of minimum net assets requirement to be of not less than $80 million. On June 8, 2026, we amended the Loan Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Facility to the earlier of (i) June 8, 2029, and (ii) March 31, 2029 if the Company’s 8.50% notes due 2029 have not been refinanced on or prior to such date.
As of June 30, 2026, there were $11.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving line.
Borrowings under the revolving line are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets, subject to certain specified exceptions. We have made customary representations and warranties and are required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar loan agreements. In addition, the Loan Agreement contains financial covenants requiring (i) net assets of not less than $80 million, (ii) asset coverage equal to or greater than 150% and (iii) bank asset coverage equal to or greater than 300%, in each case tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company. Borrowings are also subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

We may repurchase the Notes in accordance with the Investment Company Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.
On May 3, 2018, a majority of our stockholders approved the application of the modified minimum asset coverage requirement pursuant to Section 61(a)(2) under the Investment Company Act. As a result of such approval, and subject to satisfying certain ongoing disclosure requirements, effective May 4, 2018 the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company was decreased from 200% to 150%. As of June 30, 2026, our asset coverage ratio was approximately 166.4%. Under the Investment Company Act, we are subject to a minimum asset coverage ratio of 150%.
Share Price Data
The following table sets forth: (i) NAV per share of our common stock as of the applicable period end, (ii) the range of high and low closing sales prices of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market during the applicable period, (iii) the closing high and low sales prices as a premium (discount) to NAV during the relevant period, and (iv) the distributions per share of our common stock declared during the applicable period. Shares of business development companies may trade at a market price that is less than the value of the net assets attributable to those shares. The possibility that our shares of common stock will trade at a discount or premium to NAV is separate and distinct from the risk that our NAV will decrease. During the last two fiscal years, our common stock has generally traded below NAV.
During fiscal years 2024 and 2025 and through July 29, 2026, using the high and low sales prices within each fiscal quarter compared to the NAV at such quarter end, our common stock has traded as high as a

Recent Developments
Distribution
Our board set the distribution for the quarter ending September 30, 2026 at a rate of $0.25 per share. The full amount of each distribution will be from distributable earnings. The distribution will be payable on September 30, 2026 to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2026. The distribution will be paid in cash.
Interest Rate Risk
We are also subject to financial risks, including changes in market interest rates. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $136.0 million in principal amount of our debt investments bore interest at variable rates, which are generally based on SOFR or US prime rate, and many of which are subject to certain floors. Recently, interest rates have risen and a prolonged increase in interest rates will increase our gross investment income and could result in an increase in our net investment income if such increases in interest rates are not offset by a corresponding decrease in the spread over variable rates that we earn on any portfolio investments or an increase in our operating expenses. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for an analysis of the impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2026, 13 debt investments in our portfolio bore interest at a fixed rate, and the remaining 45 debt investments were at variable rates, representing approximately $63.7 million and $136.0 million in principal debt, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, 12 debt investments in our portfolio bore interest at a fixed rate, and the remaining 46 debt investments were at variable rates, representing approximately $53.0 million and $159.8 million in principal debt, respectively. The variable rates are generally based upon the SOFR or US prime rate.
To illustrate the potential impact of a change in the underlying interest rate on our net investment income, we have assumed a 1%, 2%, and 3% increase and 1%, 2%, and 3% decrease in the underlying reference rate, and no other change in our portfolio as of June 30, 2026. We have also assumed there are no outstanding floating rate borrowings by the Company. See the following table for the effect the rate changes would have on net investment income.

Although we believe that this analysis is indicative of our existing interest rate sensitivity as of June 30, 2026, it does not adjust for changes in the credit quality, size and composition of our portfolio, and other business developments, including borrowing under a credit facility, that could affect the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the results under this hypothetical analysis.
We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. 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.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2026, we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings with the SEC 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. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we, our investment adviser or administrator may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. A description of our legal proceedings is included in Note 7 of the unaudited financial statements attached to this report.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes in risk factors in the period covered by this report. See discussion of risk factors in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
In October 2025, the Company implemented a stock buyback program pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act authorizing us to repurchase up to $10.0 million of its outstanding shares. Such repurchases may be accomplished through a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, 108,418 shares were purchased at an average price of $4.98 per share.

GREAT ELM CAPITAL CORP.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts
1. ORGANIZATION
Great Elm Capital Corp. (the “Company”) was formed on
The Company seeks to generate current income and capital appreciation through debt and income-generating equity investments, including investments in specialty finance businesses.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation. The Company’s functional currency is U.S. dollars and these financial statements have been prepared in that currency. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items or items discussed herein) that management believes are necessary to fairly state results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations. The Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.
Revenue Recognition. Interest and dividend income, including income paid in kind, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, structuring, closing, commitment and other upfront fees, including original issue discounts, earned with respect to capital commitments, are generally amortized or accreted into interest income over the life of the respective debt investment, as are end-of-term or exit fees receivable upon repayment of a debt investment if such fees are fixed in nature. Other fees, including certain amendment fees, prepayment fees and commitment fees on broken deals, and end-of-term or exit fees that have a contingency feature or are variable in nature are recognized as earned. Prepayment fees and similar income due upon the early repayment of a loan or debt security are generally included in interest income.
Interest income received as paid-in-kind (“PIK”) is reported separately in the Statements of Operations. Income is included as PIK if the instrument solely provides for settlement in kind. In the event that the borrower can settle in kind or via cash payment, the income is not included as PIK until the borrower elects to pay in kind and the payment is received by the Company. In the event there is a lesser cash rate in a PIK toggle instrument, income is accrued at the lesser cash rate until the coupon is paid in kind and such larger payment is received by the Company.
Certain of the Company’s debt investments were purchased at a discount to par as a result of the underlying credit risks and financial results of the issuer, as well as general market factors that influence the financial markets as a whole. Discounts on the acquisition of corporate debt instruments are generally amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method assuming there are no material questions as to collectability.
Interest income in CLO subordinated note investments are recorded on an accrual basis utilizing an effective interest methodology based upon an effective yield to maturity of projected cash flows. ASC Topic 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets (“ASC 325”) requires investment income from such investments be recognized under the effective interest method, with any difference between cash distributed and the amount calculated pursuant to the effective interest method be recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of the investment. It is the Company’s policy to monitor and update the effective yield for each CLO subordinated note position held at each measurement date and updated periodically, as needed.
F-37
Net Realized Gains (Losses) and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation). The Company measures realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale of an investment and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the net change in portfolio investment values and portfolio investment cost bases during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents typically consist of bank demand deposits. Restricted cash generally consists of collateral for unfunded positions held by counterparties.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments. The Company carries its investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is generally based on quoted market prices provided by independent pricing services, broker or dealer quotations or alternative price sources. In the absence of quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative price sources, investments are measured at fair value as determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”).
Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a ready market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material. See Note 4.
The Company values its portfolio investments at fair value based upon the principles and methods of valuation set forth in policies adopted by the Board. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset that (1) are independent of the Company, (2) are knowledgeable, having a reasonable understanding about the asset based on all available information (including information that might be obtained through due diligence efforts that are usual and customary), (3) are able to transact for the asset, and (4) are willing to transact for the asset (that is, they are motivated but not forced or otherwise compelled to do so).
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations unless the quotations are deemed not to represent fair value. The Company generally obtains market quotations from recognized exchanges, market quotation systems, independent pricing services or one or more broker-dealers or market makers. Short term debt investments with remaining maturities within ninety days are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Debt and equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available, which is the case for many of the Company’s investments, or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, are valued at fair value using a consistently applied valuation process in accordance with the Company’s documented valuation policy that has been reviewed and approved by the Board. Due to the inherent uncertainty and subjectivity of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events may have differing impacts on the market quotations used to value some of the Company’s investments than on the fair values of the Company’s investments for which market quotations are not readily available. Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value in certain circumstances where the Company believes that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser, or the market for a particular security cause current market quotations to not reflect the fair value of the security.
The valuation process approved by the Board with respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value is as follows:
F-38
Those investments for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value are valued utilizing a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in determining the fair value of its investments include, as relevant and among other factors: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, merger and acquisition comparables, and enterprise values.
Investments in revolvers or delayed draw loans may include unfunded commitments for which the Company’s acquisition cost will be offset by compensation received on the portion of the commitment that is unfunded. As a result, the purchases of a commitment that is not fully funded may result in a negative cost basis for the funded commitment. The fair value of the unfunded commitment is adjusted for price appreciation or depreciation and may result in a negative fair value for the unfunded commitment.
Deferred Financing Costs and Deferred Offering Costs. Deferred financing costs and deferred offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with financing or capital raising activities and include professional fees, printing fees, filing fees and other related expenses.
Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the revolving credit facility are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the revolving credit facility. Unamortized costs are included in deferred financing costs on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortization of those costs is included in interest expense on the Statements of Operations.
Deferred offering costs incurred in connection with the unsecured notes are amortized over the term of the respective unsecured note using the effective interest method. Unamortized costs are treated as a reduction to the carrying amount of the debt on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortization of those costs is included in interest expense on the Statements of Operations.
Deferred offering costs incurred in connection with the shelf registration on Form N-2 are capitalized when incurred and recognized as a reduction to offering proceeds when the offering becomes effective or expensed upon expiration of the registration statement, if applicable. Deferred offering costs are included with prepaid expenses and other assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets. Prepaid expenses include expenses paid in advance such as annual insurance premiums and deferred offering costs, as described above. Other assets may include contributions to investments paid in advance of trade date.
U.S. Federal Income Taxes. From inception to September 30, 2016, the Company was a taxable association under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Code. The Company intends to operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs in that taxable year and all future taxable years. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company will be required to timely distribute to its stockholders at least

ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax position. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Based on its analysis of its tax position for all open tax years (fiscal years 2021 through 2024), the Company has concluded that it does not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Income Statement. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, within relevant income statement captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning with the first quarter ended March 31, 2028. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its financial statements.
Interim Reporting. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270 and clarify when it applies. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
3. SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENTS AND RELATED PARTIES
Investment Management Agreement. The Company has an investment management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with GECM. Beginning on November 4, 2016, the Company began accruing for GECM’s fees for its services under the Investment Management Agreement. This fee consists of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee. Effective August 1, 2022, upon receiving approval from the Company’s stockholders, the Company and GECM amended the Investment Management Agreement to reset the Capital Gains Incentive Fee to begin on April 1, 2022, which eliminated $

F-40
Incentive Fee The incentive fee consists of two components that are independent of each other with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. One component of the incentive fee is based on income (the “Income Incentive Fee”) and the other component is based on capital gains (the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee”).
The Income Incentive Fee is calculated on a quarterly basis as
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes any accretion of original issue discount, market discount, PIK interest, PIK dividends or other types of deferred or accrued income, including in connection with zero coupon securities, that the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have recognized in accordance with GAAP, but have not yet received in cash (collectively, “Accrued Unpaid Income”). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains or losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
Any Income Incentive Fee otherwise payable with respect to Accrued Unpaid Income (collectively, the “Accrued Unpaid Income Incentive Fees”) is deferred, on a security by security basis, and becomes payable only if, as, when and to the extent cash is received by the Company or its subsidiaries in respect thereof. Any Accrued Unpaid Income that is subsequently reversed in connection with a write-down, write-off, impairment or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to such Accrued Unpaid Income will, in the applicable period of reversal, (1) reduce Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income and (2) reduce the amount of Accrued Unpaid Income Incentive Fees previously deferred.
The Company will defer cash payment of any Income Incentive Fee otherwise payable to the investment adviser in any quarter (excluding Accrued Unpaid Income Incentive Fees with respect to such quarter) that exceeds (1)

The Investment Management Agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, GECM and its officers, managers, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of GECM’s services under the Investment Management Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company.
Administration Fees. The Company has an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with GECM to provide administrative services, including, among other things, furnishing the Company with office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services. The Company will reimburse GECM for its allocable portion of overhead and other expenses of GECM in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. Compensation of administrator personnel is allocated based on time allocation for the period. Other overhead costs are based on a combination of time allocation and total headcount.
The Administration Agreement provides that, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, GECM and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with it are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) arising from the rendering of GECM’s services under the Administration Agreement or otherwise as administrator for the Company.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).
The fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Basis of Fair Value Measurement
Level 1 Investments valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Level 2 Investments valued using other unadjusted observable market inputs, e.g. quoted prices in markets that are not active or quotes for comparable instruments.
Level 3 Investments that are valued using quotes and other observable market data to the extent available, but which also take into consideration one or more unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation taken as a whole.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Note 2 should be read in conjunction with the information outlined below.
F-42
The table below presents the valuation techniques and the nature of significant inputs generally used in determining the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 Instruments.
Level 2 Instruments Valuation Techniques and Significant Inputs
Equity, Bank Loans, Corporate Debt, and Other Debt Obligations |
|
The types of instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency may include commercial paper, most government agency obligations, certain corporate debt securities, certain mortgage-backed securities, certain bank loans, less liquid publicly-listed equities, certain state and municipal obligations, certain money market instruments and certain loan commitments. Valuations of Level 2 debt and equity instruments can be verified to quoted prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Consideration is given to the nature of the quotations (e.g. indicative or firm) and the relationship of recent market activity to the prices provided from alternative pricing sources. |
Level 3 Instruments Valuation Techniques and Significant Inputs
Bank Loans, Corporate Debt, and Other Debt Obligations |
|
Valuations are generally based on discounted cash flow techniques, for which the significant inputs are the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, market yields and recovery assumptions. The significant inputs are generally determined based on an analysis of market comparables, transactions in similar instruments and/or recovery and liquidation analyses. |
Equity |
|
Recent third-party investments or pending transactions are considered to be the best evidence for any change in fair value. When these are not available, the following valuation methodologies are used, as appropriate and available: ▪ Transactions in similar instruments; ▪ Discounted cash flow techniques; ▪ Third party appraisals; and ▪ Industry multiples and public comparables. Evidence includes recent or pending reorganizations (for example, merger proposals, tender offers and debt restructurings) and significant changes in financial metrics, including: ▪ Current financial performance as compared to projected performance; ▪ Capitalization rates and multiples; and ▪ Market yields implied by transactions of similar or related assets. |
As noted above, the income and market approaches were used in the determination of fair value of certain Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach are the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. An increase in the discount rate or market yield would result in a decrease in the fair value. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates is risk of default, rating of the investment (if any), call provisions and comparable company valuations. The significant unobservable inputs used in the market approach are based on market comparable transactions and market multiples of publicly traded comparable companies. Increases or decreases in market multiples would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

Changes in pricing transparency are the result of changes in the number of brokers quoting an investment and evidence of observable trading activity at a given price. These factors support the assumption that prices provided by third-party vendors are representative of the value that an investment may transact at, whereas limited evidence of these factors may indicate that additional valuation procedures including unobservable inputs should be utilized.
The following tables below present the ranges of significant unobservable inputs used to value the Company’s Level 3 assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These ranges represent the significant unobservable inputs that were used in the valuation of each type of instrument, but they do not represent a range of values for any one instrument. For example, the lowest yield in 1st Lien Debt is appropriate for valuing that specific debt investment, but may not be appropriate for valuing any other debt investments in this asset class. Accordingly, the ranges of inputs presented below do not represent uncertainty in, or possible ranges of, fair value measurements of the Company’s Level 3 assets.

The terms of the unsecured notes are governed by a base indenture, dated as of September 18, 2017, by and between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (formerly known as American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC), as trustee (as supplemented with respect to each series of notes, the “Indenture”). The Indenture’s covenants include restrictions on certain activities in the event the Company falls below the minimum asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act, as well as covenants requiring the Company to provide financial information to the holders of the Notes and the trustee if the Company ceases to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These covenants are subject to limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture. The Investment Company Act limits, with certain exceptions, the Company’s borrowing such that its asset coverage ratio, as defined in the Investment Company Act, is at least 1.5 to 1 after such borrowing.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s asset coverage ratio was approximately
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the indenture.

To the degree applicable, unrealized gains or losses on these commitments as of June 30, 2026 are included in the Company’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the corresponding Schedule of Investments. The Company believes that it had sufficient cash and other liquid assets on its balance sheet to satisfy the unfunded commitments. In addition, the Company has the ability to draw on its revolving line of credit to manage cash flows. The Company has considered the net decrease in net assets and positive cash flows from operations and has concluded that it has the ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business based upon an evaluation of its cash position and sources of liquidity.

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with the Company portfolio companies.
The Company is named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed on March 5, 2016, and captioned Intrepid Investments, LLC v. London Bay Capital, which is pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The plaintiff immediately agreed to stay the action in light of an ongoing mediation among parties other than the Company. This lawsuit was brought by a member of Speedwell Holdings (formerly known as The Selling Source, LLC), one of the Company’s portfolio investments, against various members of and lenders to Speedwell Holdings. The plaintiff asserts claims of aiding and abetting, breaches of fiduciary duty, and tortious interference against the Company. In June 2018, Intrepid Investments, LLC (“Intrepid”) sent notice to the court and defendants effectively lifting the stay and triggering defendants’ obligation to respond to the Intrepid complaint. In September 2018, the Company joined the other defendants in a motion to dismiss on various grounds. In February 2019, Intrepid filed a second amended complaint to which defendants filed a renewed motion to dismiss in March 2019. In June 2023, the Court granted in part and denied in part defendants’ motion to dismiss. The parties are currently involved in pre-trial discovery on the surviving claims.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Company’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company. In addition, in the normal course of business the Company expects to enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these agreements cannot be known; however, the Company expects any risk of loss to be remote.
