 that we will not receive in cash. Because in certain cases we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may have difficulty satisfying the annual distribution requirement applicable to RICs under the Code. Accordingly, we may have to sell some of our investments at times we would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital, reduce new investments or make taxable distributions of our stock or debt securities to meet that distribution requirement. If we are not able to obtain cash from other sources, we may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus be subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates. In addition, OID income for certain portfolio investments may or may not be included as a factor in the determination of the fair value of such investments. Risks Related to Our Investments Our investments in CLO vehicles are riskier and less transparent to us and our stockholders than direct investments in the underlying Senior Loans or CLO Assets. We have initially invested principally in equity and junior debt tranches issued by CLO vehicles. Generally, there may be less information available to us regarding the underlying debt investments held by such CLO vehicles than if we had invested directly in the debt of the underlying companies. As a result, our stockholders may not know the details of the underlying debt investments of the CLO vehicles in which we invest. Our CLO investments will also be subject to the risk of leverage associated with the debt issued by such CLOs and the repayment priority of senior debt holders in such CLO vehicles. Additionally, CLOs in which we invest are often governed by a complex series of legal documents and contracts. As a result, the risk of dispute over interpretation or enforceability of the documentation may be higher relative to other types of investments. 73 In addition to the general risks associated with investing in debt securities, CLO vehicles carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the credit quality of the CLO Assets that serve as collateral may decline or the CLO Asset may default; (iii) the CLO may experience losses associated with selling CLO Assets at a loss; (iv) our investments in CLO debt and equity will likely be subordinate to other senior classes of CLO debt; (v) the CLO vehicle itself may experience an event of default, leading to acceleration of the CLO’s debt and liquidation of CLO Assets at undesirable prices and (vi)
