 investment and amounts treated as portfolio income, such as dividends and interest, under the passive activity loss rules, less deductible expenses, other than interest, directly connected with the production of investment income.

Limitations on Deductibility of Losses; Management Fees and Other Expenses

A U.S. holder’s ability to deduct for U.S. federal income tax purposes his, her or its distributive share of any company losses or expenses will be limited to the lesser of (i) the adjusted tax basis in such holder’s shares, or (ii) in the case of a holder that is an individual or a closely-held corporation (a corporation where more than 50% of the value of its stock is owned directly or indirectly by five or fewer individuals or certain tax-exempt organizations), the amount which the holder is considered to be “at risk” with respect to certain activities of our company. In general, the amount “at risk” includes the holder’s actual amount paid for the shares and any share of company debt that constitutes “qualified nonrecourse financing.” The amount “at risk” excludes any amount the holder borrows to acquire or hold his, her or its shares if the lender of such borrowed funds owns shares or can look only to the borrower’s shares for repayment. Losses in excess of the amount at risk must be deferred until years in which our company generates taxable income against which to offset such losses. The deductibility of losses may be further limited by U.S. federal income tax law, and U.S. holders should discuss such limitations with their own tax advisors.

Our company will pay a management fee (and possibly certain transaction fees) to our manager. Our company will also pay certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with activities of our manager. Our company intends to deduct such fees and expenses to the extent that they are reasonable in amount and are not capital in nature or otherwise nondeductible. It is expected that such fees and other expenses will generally constitute miscellaneous itemized deductions for non-corporate U.S. holders of our shares. Under current law in effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, non-corporate U.S. holders may not deduct any such miscellaneous itemized deductions for federal income tax purposes.
