, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a multi-step valuation process:a.Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for the credit monitoring;b.Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with the Company’s senior management;c.If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment’s par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which the Company does not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company’s board of directors; andd.When deemed appropriate by the Company’s management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value investment(s) of a portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.For investments in revolving credit facilities and delayed draw commitments, the cost basis of the funded investments purchased is offset by any costs/netbacks received for any unfunded portion on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for the price appreciation or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of a commitment not completely funded may result in a negative fair value until it is called and funded.The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated. 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 Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.See Note 3. Investments, for further discussion relating to investments.Derivative instruments and hedging activities—The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), when accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities.
