Item 1. Business

NFIC is a Maryland corporation structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company. NFIC is externally managed
by CGMSIM, an investment adviser that is registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the Advisers Act). The CGMSIM team managing our investments (the CGMSIM Investment Team) forms the
exclusive Carlyle platform for U.S. middle market debt investments.

NFICs investment objective is to generate current income and
capital appreciation primarily through debt investments in U.S. middle market companies, which we define as companies with approximately $10 million to $100 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA). NFIC seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in first lien senior secured loans (which may include stand-alone first lien loans; last out first lien loans, which are loans that have a
secondary priority behind first out first lien loans; unitranche loans, which are loans that combine features of first lien, second lien or subordinated loans, generally in a first lien position; and secured corporate bonds
with features similar to the features of these categories of first lien loans) and second lien senior secured loans (which may include senior secured loans, and, to a lesser extent, secured corporate bonds, with a secondary priority behind first
lien loans) (collectively, Middle Market Senior Loans), subject to, in the case of second lien senior secured loans, a limit of 10% of NFICs total assets. The Middle Market Senior Loans are generally made to private U.S. middle
market companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity firms. In addition, NFIC may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities whose risk profile, as determined at the sole discretion of the Investment Adviser, is
similar to or better than the risk profile of Middle Market Senior Loans. We expect that the composition of our portfolio will change over time given our Investment Advisers view on, among other things, the economic and credit environment
(including with respect to interest rates) in which we are operating.

The growth and development of our Company has been guided by
several fundamental tenets:



| |  |  | Experienced Investment TeamThe Company is managed by an experienced management team of investment professionals with extensive middle market lending experience. Our Advisers investment committee that
is responsible for reviewing and approving our Middle Market Senior Loan investments (the CGMSIM Investment Committee) consists of seasoned investment professionals from across the Global Market Strategies (GMS) segment of
Carlyle.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Attractive Origination ModelThe CGMSIM Investment Teams multi-channel origination model produces attractive investment
opportunities through a variety of sources including over 200 private equity firms, other middle market lenders, financial advisors and experienced management teams to source debt investments in middle market companies and to source other
high-yielding investments
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | that provide attractive risk-adjusted returns. The CGMSIM Investment Team has cultivated very strong relationships with private equity sponsors and debt capital providers, with whom we work with
closely in sourcing and executing transactions.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Diligent Investment StrategyOur investment decisions are based on in-depth, fundamental underwriting and credit research grounded in a conservative credit orientation. This systematic, consistent approach
is augmented by industry expertise and tenured underwriting professionals who both lead the CGMSIM Investment Team and serve on the CGMSIM Investment Committee.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Leverage the GMS PlatformThe Company benefits from the well branded and scalable origination and underwriting platform of GMS. The CGMSIM Investment Team leverages the industry expertise of 11 structured
credit research analysts who currently advise the GMS collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) funds and cover approximately 20 industries.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Leverage the Carlyle NetworkCarlyle, a leading global alternative asset manager, provides infrastructure, including back-office support, reporting assistance and accounting resources, and investment insight
through proprietary deal flow, industry experience and sector knowledge.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following highlights illustrate our
accomplishments since the commencement of our operations:



| |  |  | Capital Commitments and InvestmentsAs of March 11, 2016, we have raised a total of $190.1 million in total capital commitments in NFIC. Of that total, and inclusive of the use of leverage and recycled
proceeds from sales and paydowns, we have deployed $280.7 million in 85 funded first lien debt investments and $23.6 million in 13 funded second lien debt investments through December 31, 2015.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Credit FacilitiesOn September 12, 2013, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Borrower Sub, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the Revolving Credit
Facility) with a maximum principal amount of $120 million. In addition, on March 27, 2014, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the Facility) with a maximum principal amount of $50
million.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Credit Platform Enhancements The CGMSIM Investment Team has continued to expand and enhance all facets of the credit platform supporting the Company. Additional senior origination professionals were added
during the year which meaningfully expanded the direct sourcing capabilities. The origination platform now has offices in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles covering over 200 private equity firms. The scale of the direct origination platform allows
the Company to maximizes the investment opportunity set and increase overall investment selectivity. Direct origination has several important benefits including optimizing transaction economics, improving the strength of the loan documentation, and
providing greater access to due diligence materials. Additional senior resources were added to the capital markets group, further enhancing investment sourcing and syndication capabilities with other lenders, including banks, finance companies,
credit funds, and other business development companies. Additional professionals were added to the underwriting and portfolio management team to support the overall increase in investment activity and portfolio growth. This team works closely with
the origination and capital markets professionals, as well as the GMS industry research analysts in executing all facets of transaction due diligence and portfolio management. Further enhancements and additions will be made as appropriate to ensure
that the CGMSIM Investment Team continues to have best in class execution across each segment of the business.

| |  |  | Strong Management Alignment With InvestorsCertain members of Carlyles senior management team, Carlyle employees and operating executives, and certain partners and affiliates of Carlyle committed to
purchase an aggregate of $5.1 million of common stock.

NF Investment Corp.

NFIC is a Maryland corporation formed on November 1, 2012. On August 5, 2013, NFIC filed its election to be regulated as a business
development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Investment Company Act). NFIC has elected to be treated, and intends to
continue to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the Code).

On August 6, 2013, NFIC completed its Initial Closing and subsequently commenced substantial investment operations. Prior to
August 6, 2013, NFIC had not commenced operations and was a development stage company as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915, Development Stage Entity. During this time, NFIC focused substantially all of
its efforts on establishing its business.

NFIC is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act). NFIC expects to remain an emerging growth company because it does not intend to pursue an initial public offering.

The Borrower Sub is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed on June 18, 2013. The Borrower Sub invests in first and second
lien senior secured loans. The Borrower Sub is consolidated in our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K commencing from the date of its formation, June 18, 2013.

NFIC is externally managed by our Investment Adviser, an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act. Our Administrator provides the
administrative services necessary for us to operate. Both the Investment Adviser and the Administrator are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C. (CIM), a subsidiary of Carlyle.

After the earlier of August 6, 2018 or the completion of an initial public offering by Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc. (GMS
Finance) (the other BDC managed by the Investment Adviser) that results in an unaffiliated public float of at least 15% of its aggregate capital commitments (a Qualified IPO), the Board of Directors (subject to any necessary
stockholder approvals and applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act) will use its best efforts to wind down and/or liquidate and dissolve the Company. These efforts may include cash tender offers from time to time as proceeds become
available.

As a BDC, NFIC is required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. As part of these requirements, the Company must not
acquire any assets other than qualifying assets specified in the Investment Company Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).

NFIC has elected to be treated, and intends to continue to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code, and
operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, NFIC must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders
generally at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Pursuant to this election, NFIC generally does not have to pay corporate level taxes on any income that it distributes to stockholders, provided
that NFIC satisfies those requirements.

About Our Adviser

Our investment activities are managed by our Investment Adviser. CGMSIM is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting research
and due diligence on prospective investments and equity sponsors, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring our investments and monitoring our investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. For providing these services, the
Investment Adviser receives management fees from us pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the Investment Advisory Agreement). For more information on the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the management fees, see Note 4 to
the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

The CGMSIM Investment Committee, which also serves as the investment committee to GMS Finance, is
led by Michael J. Petrick, Managing Director of Carlyle, Chairman of the CGMSIM Investment Committee, Head of GMS and Chairman of the NFIC and GMS Finance Boards of Directors, and Michael A. Hart, Managing Director of Carlyle, President of NFIC and
GMS Finance, and member of the NFIC and GMS Finance Boards of Directors. Other members of the CGMSIM Investment Committee include senior GMS investment professionals who are responsible for reviewing and approving our investments. The CGMSIM
Investment Committee members are seasoned investment professionals with experience through different credit cycles.

Pursuant to a
personnel agreement between the Investment Adviser and The Carlyle Group Employee Co., L.L.C. (Carlyle Employee Co.), an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, Carlyle Employee Co. provides the Investment Adviser with access to investment
professionals that comprise the CGMSIM Investment Team. As of March 11, 2016, the CGMSIM Investment Team includes a team of approximately 18 investment professionals designated from Carlyles GMS platform.

Our executive officers and directors, the employees of the Investment Adviser and members of the CGMSIM Investment Committee serve or may
serve as investment advisors, officers, directors or principals of entities or investment funds that operate in the same or a related line of business as we do and/or investment funds, accounts and other similar arrangements advised by Carlyle. An
affiliated investment vehicle currently formed, such as GMS Finance, or formed in the future and managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may have overlapping investment objectives and strategies with our own and, accordingly, may invest
in asset classes similar to those targeted by us. As a result, the Investment Adviser and/or its affiliates may face conflicts in allocating investment opportunities between us and such other entities. Accordingly, we may not be given the
opportunity to participate in certain investments made by investment funds managed by advisors affiliated with the Investment Adviser. However, the Investment Adviser and its affiliates will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair
and equitable manner and consistent with applicable allocation procedures. See Risk Factors  Risks Related to Our Business and StructureThere are significant potential conflicts of interest, including the management of
GMS Finance, other funds affiliated with Carlyle by our Investment Advisers key investment professionals, which could impact our investment returns. in Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K for more information.

On February 26, 2014, the SEC granted us and GMS Finance, as well as future funds advised by CGMSIM, exemptive relief (Exemptive
Relief) to co-invest in suitable investments, subject to certain terms and conditions in the Exemptive Relief. In addition, we and GMS Finance may invest alongside other affiliated funds and persons in certain circumstances where doing so is
consistent with applicable law and SEC staff interpretations, including the entities investment objectives and policies. For example, we may invest alongside such funds consistent with guidance promulgated by the SEC staff permitting us and
such other funds to purchase interests in a single class of privately placed securities so long as certain conditions are met, including that CGMSIM, acting on our behalf and on behalf of its other clients, and other affiliated funds and persons
negotiates no term other than price.

GMS Finance is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has
elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act and has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code. GMS Finance seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in Middle Market Senior Loans and has the same
Adviser and Administrator as us. Refer to the sec.gov website for further information on GMS Finance.

Carlyle sponsors several investment
funds, accounts and other similar arrangements with strategies overlapping with our strategy, including, without limitation, GMS Finance, Carlyle Energy Mezzanine Opportunities Fund and successor funds, Carlyle Strategic Partners series of funds, as
well as carry funds, hedge funds, managed accounts and structured credit CLO funds. The terms of certain of these investment funds, accounts or other similar arrangements require Carlyle to allocate investment opportunities to such investment funds
in priority to allocations to other vehicles, such as us. As a result, there are circumstances where investments appropriate for us are instead allocated, in whole or in part, to such other investment funds, accounts or other similar arrangements.
Where Carlyle otherwise has discretion to allocate investment opportunities among various funds, accounts and other similar arrangements, it should be noted that Carlyle may determine to allocate such investment opportunities away from us. Apart
from the circumstances described above, Carlyle is presented with investment opportunities that generally fall within our investment objective and that of other Carlyle investment funds or managed accounts, whether focused on a debt strategy or
otherwise, and in such circumstances Carlyle allocates such opportunities among us and such other Carlyle funds on a basis that Carlyle determines to be fair and reasonable taking into account the sourcing of the transaction, the nature of the
investment focus of each such other Carlyle investment fund, the relative amounts of capital available for investment, the nature and extent of involvement in the transaction on the part of the respective teams of investment professionals, any
requirements contained in the partnership agreements of such other Carlyle funds and other considerations deemed relevant by Carlyle in good faith. Consistent with the foregoing, Carlyle expects that other Carlyle investment funds will make
investments in the debt of private companies. In addition, Carlyle expects that we will make investments in geographic regions in which other Carlyle investment funds have been or may be specifically organized to invest.

In addition, GMS Finance invests in Middle Market Senior Loans and thus substantially all investment opportunities that fall within our
investment objective may also fall within GMS Finances investment objective. On February 26, 2014, the SEC granted us and GMS Finance, as well as future funds advised by CGMSIM, Exemptive Relief to co-invest in suitable investments,
subject to certain terms and conditions in the Exemptive Relief.

While Carlyle and CGMSIM seek to implement their respective allocation
processes in a fair and equitable manner under the particular circumstances, there can be no assurance that it will result in equivalent allocation of or participation in investment opportunities or equivalent performance of investments allocated to
us as compared to the other entities.

Carlyle may also from time to time form or have financial or operational interests in the
management of one or more hedge funds or similar alternative investment vehicles which may be permitted to allocate a portion of their portfolios to long-dated, illiquid, restricted, or other similar securities and investment opportunities, and
whose investment strategies may therefore overlap with ours. It is therefore possible that such hedge funds may consider the same investment opportunities as us. Generally, any private debt investments that may be made by such hedge funds would
(i) only be made as part of a broader investment portfolio and be limited to a minority percentage of the hedge funds overall portfolio and (ii) generally be expected to be passive minority investments, made on an opportunistic
basis. Nevertheless, it cannot be completely ruled out that such hedge funds may on any given occasion compete with us for the same investment opportunity.

About Our Administrator

CGMSFA, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as our Administrator. Pursuant to an administration agreement between us and the
Administrator (the Administration Agreement), the Administrator provides services to us and we reimburse the Administrator for its costs and expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by the Administrator in performing its
obligations under the Administration Agreement, including our allocable portion of the compensation of certain of our officers and staff. In addition, the Administrator has entered into a sub-administration agreement with Carlyle Employee Co. (the
Carlyle Employee Co. Sub-Administration Agreement) and a sub-administration agreement with CELF Advisors LLP (CELF and such agreement, the CELF Sub-Administration Agreement), which provide the Administrator with
access to personnel. The Administrator has also entered into a sub-administration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street and such agreement, the State Street Sub-Administration Agreement), which
serves as our custodian, transfer agent, distribution paying agent and registrar.

Competition

Our primary competitors in providing financing to middle market companies include public and private funds, other BDCs, including affiliated
funds, commercial and investment banks, commercial finance companies and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equity and hedge funds. Many of our potential competitors are substantially larger and have considerably
greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. For example, some competitors may have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk
tolerances or different risk assessments than we do, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish more relationships than us. Furthermore, many of our competitors are not subject to the regulatory restrictions that
the Investment Company Act and the Code impose on us. The competitive pressures we face may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, as a result of this competition, we may not be able to
take advantage of attractive investment opportunities from time to time, and we can offer no assurance that we will be able to identify and make investments that are consistent with our investment objective.

We expect to use the expertise of the members of the CGMSIM Investment Committee and the CGMSIM Investment Team to assess investment risks and
determine appropriate pricing for our investments. In addition, we expect that the relationships developed by the CGMSIM Investment Team will enable us to learn about and compete effectively for, financing opportunities with attractive middle market
companies in the industries in which we seek to invest. For additional information concerning the competitive risks we face, see Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K Risk Factors Risks Related to Our
Investments  We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities, and compete with investment vehicles sponsored or advised by our affiliates.

Staffing

We do not currently have any
employees. Our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Chief Operating Officer presently serve as a principal or managing director of Carlyle and are retained by CGMSFA pursuant to the Carlyle Employee Co. Sub-Administration Agreement. Our Chief
Compliance Officer and Secretary presently serves as a director of Carlyle and is retained by CGMSFA pursuant to the CELF Sub-Administration Agreement. Each of these professionals performs their respective functions for us under the terms of our
Administration Agreement.

Our day-to-day investment operations are managed by CGMSIM. Pursuant to its personnel agreement with Carlyle
Employee Co., CGMSIM has access to the members of the CGMSIM Investment Committee, and a team of additional experienced investment professionals who, collectively, comprise the CGMSIM Investment Team. CGMSIM may hire additional investment
professionals to provide services to NFIC.

Investment Strategy and Approach

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments in U.S. middle market
companies. We seek to achieve our investment objective by investing primarily in Middle Market Senior Loans, subject to, in the case of second lien loans, a limit of 10% of our total assets, and, in addition, investing up to 10% of our total assets
in high yield securities who risk profile, as determined at the sole discretion of CGMSIM, is similar to or better than the risk profile of Middle Market Senior Loans. The Middle Market Senior Loans are generally made to private U.S. middle market
companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity firms. We seek to generate strong risk-adjusted net returns by assembling a diversified portfolio of investments across a broad range of industries and instruments.

We target U.S. middle market companies, generally controlled by private equity investment firms that require capital for growth, acquisitions,
recapitalizations, refinancings and leveraged buyouts. We may also make opportunistic loans to independently owned and publicly held middle market companies. We seek to partner with strong management teams executing long-term growth strategies.
Target businesses typically exhibit some or all of the following characteristics:



| |  |  | EBITDA of $10$100 million;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | Minimum of 35% original sponsor cash equity;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sustainable leading positions in their respective markets;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Scalable revenues and operating cash flow;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Experienced management teams with successful track records;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Stable, predictable cash flows with low technology and market risks;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Diversified product offering and customer base;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Low capital expenditures requirements;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | A North American base of operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | Strong customer relationships;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | Products, services or distribution channels having distinctive competitive advantages; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Defensible niche strategy or other barriers to entry.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------

While we believe that the criteria
listed above are important in identifying and investing in prospective portfolio companies, not all of these criteria will be necessarily met by each prospective portfolio company. In addition, we may change our investment objective and/or
investment criteria over time without notice to or consent from our investors.

Portfolio Composition

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the fair value of our investments was approximately $244.3 million and $182.1 million,
respectively, in 70 and 41 portfolio companies, respectively.

The type, geography and industry composition of

Investment Process

We view our
investment process as consisting of four distinct phases described below:

Origination. Our Investment Adviser sources middle market
investment opportunities through the CGMSIM Investment Teams extensive network of relationships with private equity firms, other middle market senior lenders, and investment and commercial banks. The CGMSIM Investment Team supplements these
relationships through personal visits and marketing campaigns focused on maximizing investment deal flow. It is their responsibility to identify specific opportunities, to refine opportunities through candid exploration of the



10

underlying facts and circumstances and to apply creative and flexible thinking to solve clients financing needs. The origination personnel are located in New York, Illinois and California.
Each originator maintains long-standing relationships with potential sources of deal flow and is responsible for covering a specified target market. We believe those originators strength and breadth of relationships across a wide range of
markets generate numerous financing opportunities, which should enable our Investment Adviser to be highly selective in recommending investments.

Credit Evaluation. Our Investment Adviser utilizes a systematic, consistent approach to credit evaluation with a particular focus on an
acceptable level of debt repayment and deleveraging under a base case set of projections, which we refer to as the Base Case, which typically reflects a more conservative estimate than the set of projections provided by a
prospective portfolio company, which we refer to as the Management Case. In addition, our Investment Adviser leverages the industry-specific expertise within the GMS platform. Our Investment Adviser has access to 11 GMS Structured Credit
research analysts who cover approximately 20 industries and advise GMS CLO funds. The key criteria that our Investment Adviser considers include (i) strong and resilient underlying business fundamentals, (ii) a substantial equity
cushion in the form of capital ranking junior in right of payment to our investment and (iii) a conclusion that the overall Base Case and in some cases a downside case allows for adequate debt repayment and deleveraging. Our
Investment Adviser focuses on the criteria for evaluating prospective portfolio companies discussed above under Competitive Strengths. In evaluating a particular company, our Investment Adviser puts more emphasis on credit considerations
(such as (i) debt repayment and deleveraging under a Base Case set of projections, (ii) the ability of the company to maintain a modest liquidity cushion under a Base Case set of projections, and (iii) the ability of the company to
service its fixed charge obligations under a Base Case set of projections) than on profit potential and loan pricing. Our Investment Advisers due diligence process for middle market credits typically entails:



| |  |  | a thorough review of historical and pro forma financial information;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | on-site visits;
| | - |  | ---------------



| |  |  | meetings with management;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | a review of loan documents and material contracts;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | third-party quality of earnings accounting due diligence;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | when appropriate, background checks on key managers;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | third-party research relating to the companys business, industry, markets, products and services and competitors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the commission of third-party market studies when appropriate; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sensitivity of Management Case projections
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------

Execution. In executing transactions for us,
our Investment Adviser applies a thorough, consistent approach to credit evaluation, and maintains discipline with respect to credit, pricing and structure to ensure the ultimate success of the financing. Upon completion of due diligence, the
investment professionals working on a proposed portfolio investment deliver a memorandum to the CGMSIM Investment Committee. Once an investment has been approved by a majority of the CGMSIM Investment Committee, including an affirmative vote by the
Chairman of the CGMSIM Investment Committee or his designee, it moves through a series of steps, including initial documentation using standard document templates and the establishment of negotiating boundaries, final documentation, including
resolution of business points and the execution of original documents held in escrow. Upon completion of final documentation, a loan is funded after execution of a final closing memorandum.

Monitoring. We view active portfolio monitoring as a vital part of our investment process. We consider regular dialogue with company
management and sponsors as well as detailed, internally generated monitoring reports to be critical to our performance. Our Investment Adviser has implemented a monitoring template designed to

reasonably ensure compliance with these standards. This template is used as a tool by our Investment Adviser to assess investment performance relative to plan. In addition, our portfolio
companies may rely on us to provide them with financial and capital markets expertise.

As part of the monitoring process, our Investment
Adviser has developed risk policies pursuant to which it regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our debt investments and rates each of them based on the following categories, which we refer to as Internal Risk Ratings:

|       | 
|3      |  | PerformingManagement Notice: Borrower is operating more than 10% below the Base Case. A financial covenant default may have occurred, but there is a low risk of payment default.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|       | 
|4      |  | Watch List: Borrower is operating more than 20% below the Base Case and there is a high risk of covenant default, or it may have already occurred. Payments are current although subject to greater uncertainty, and there is
moderate to high risk of payment default.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|       | 
|5      |  | Watch ListPossible Loss: Borrower is operating more than 30% below the Base Case. At the current level of operations and financial condition, the borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay or
refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Payment default is very likely or may have occurred. Loss of principal is possible.                                                                                                                                     
|       | 
|6      |  | Watch ListProbable Loss: Borrower is operating more than 40% below the Base Case, and at the current level of operations and financial condition, the borrower does not have the ability to service and ultimately repay
or refinance all outstanding debt on current terms. Payment default is very likely or may have already occurred. Additionally, the prospects for improvement in the borrowers situation are sufficiently negative that impairment of some or all
principal is probable.

Our Investment Adviser has developed a risk rating model that is based on evaluating portfolio company
performance in comparison to the Base Case when considering certain credit metrics including, but not limited to, adjusted EBITDA and net senior leverage as well as specific events including, but not limited to, default and impairment.

Our Investment Adviser monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment ratings assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio. In
connection with our quarterly valuation process, our Investment Adviser reviews our investment ratings on a regular basis. The following table summarizes the Internal Risk Ratings as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

investment portfolio was 2.1 and 2.0, respectively.

Election to be Taxed as a RIC

The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to continue to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code. As
a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders as dividends. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset
diversification requirements. In addition, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, which is generally our net ordinary taxable income plus the excess of
realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses (the Annual Distribution Requirement). The following discussion assumes that we qualify as a RIC and have satisfied the Annual Distribution Requirement.

If we:



| |  |  | qualify as a RIC; and
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------

then we are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the
portion of our net taxable income we distribute (or are deemed to distribute) to stockholders. We are subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates on any income or capital gains not distributed (or deemed distributed) to our
stockholders.

In addition, if we fail to distribute in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our
ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in the
preceding year (the Excise Tax Distribution Requirements), we are liable for a 4% excise tax on the portion of the undistributed amounts of such income that are less than the amounts required to be distributed based on the Excise Tax
Distribution Requirements. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by us that is subject to corporate income tax for the tax year ending in that calendar year is considered to have been distributed by year
end (or earlier if estimated taxes are paid). We currently intend to make sufficient distributions each taxable year to satisfy the Excise Tax Distribution Requirements.

In order to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must, among other things:



| |  |  | continue to qualify as a BDC under the Investment Company Act at all times during each taxable year;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | derive in each taxable year at least 90% of our gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to loans of certain securities, gains from the sale of stock or other securities or foreign currencies, net
income from certain qualified publicly traded partnerships, or other income derived with respect to our business of investing in such stock or securities or foreign currencies (the 90% Gross Income Test); and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | diversify our holdings so that at the end of each quarter of the taxable year:
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | at least 50% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs, and other securities if such other securities of any one issuer do not represent more
than 5% of the value of our assets or more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | no more than 25% of the value of our assets is invested in the securities, other than U.S. government securities or securities of other RICs, of one issuer, or two or more issuers that are controlled, as determined
under applicable Code rules, by us and that are engaged in the same or similar or related trades or businesses, or of certain qualified publicly traded partnerships (the Diversification Tests).
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Moreover, our ability to dispose of assets to meet our distribution requirements may be limited
by (1) the illiquid nature of our portfolio and/or (2) other requirements relating to our qualification as a RIC, including the Diversification Tests. If we dispose of assets in order to meet the Annual Distribution Requirement or the
Excise Tax Distribution Requirements, we may make such dispositions at times that, from an investment standpoint, are not advantageous. If we are prohibited from making distributions or are unable to raise additional debt or equity capital or sell
assets to make distributions, we may not be able to make sufficient distributions to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, and therefore would not be able to maintain our qualification as a RIC. Additionally, we may make investments that
result in the recognition of ordinary income rather than capital gain, or that prevent us from accruing a long-term holding period. These investments may prevent us from making capital gain distributions as described below. We intend to monitor our
transactions, make the appropriate tax elections and make the appropriate entries in our books and records when we make any such investments in order to mitigate the effect of these rules.

A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its investment company taxable income (which is, generally,
ordinary income plus net realized short-term capital gains in excess of net realized long-term capital losses). If our expenses in a given year exceed gross taxable income, we would have a net operating loss for that year. However, a RIC is not
permitted to carry forward net operating losses to subsequent years. In addition, expenses can be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses, we may for U.S.
federal income tax purposes have aggregate taxable income for several years that we distribute and that is taxable to our stockholders even if such income is greater than the aggregate net income we actually earned during those years. Such
distributions may be made from our cash assets or by liquidation of investments, if necessary. We may realize gains or losses from such liquidations. In the event we realize net capital gains from such transactions, a holder may receive a larger
capital gain distribution than the holder would have received in the absence of such transactions.

Our Regulatory StructureRegulation as a
Business Development Company

General

A BDC is regulated under the Investment Company Act. A BDC must be organized in the United States for the purpose of investing in or lending to
primarily private companies and making significant managerial assistance available to them. A BDC may use capital provided by public stockholders and from other sources to make long-term, private investments in businesses. We do not intend to list
our common stock on a stock exchange and it will not be publicly traded.

We may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to
be, or withdraw our election as, a BDC unless authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities, as required by the Investment Company Act. A majority of the outstanding voting securities of a company is defined under the
Investment Company Act as the lesser of: (a) 67% or more of such companys voting securities present at a meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of such company are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more
than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of such company. We do not anticipate any substantial change in the nature of our business.

As with other companies regulated by the Investment Company Act, a BDC must adhere to certain substantive regulatory requirements. A majority
of our directors must be persons who are not interested persons, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act. Additionally, we are required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect the BDC.
Furthermore, as a BDC, we are prohibited from protecting any director or officer against any liability to us or our stockholders arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the
conduct of such persons office.

As a BDC, we are generally required to meet an asset coverage ratio, defined under the Investment
Company Act as the ratio of our total assets (less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior



14

##### Table of Contents

securities) to our outstanding senior securities, of at least 200% after each issuance of senior securities. We may also be prohibited under the Investment Company Act from knowingly
participating in certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of our directors who are not interested persons and, in some cases, prior approval by the SEC. As a BDC, we are generally limited in our ability to invest in any
portfolio company in which our Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates currently has an investment or to make any co-investments with our Investment Adviser or its affiliates without an exemptive order from the SEC, subject to certain
exceptions.

We do not intend to acquire securities issued by any investment company that exceed the limits imposed by the Investment
Company Act. Under these limits, except for registered money market funds, we generally cannot acquire more than 3% of the voting stock of any investment company, invest more than 5% of the value of our total assets in the securities of one
investment company or invest more than 10% of the value of our total assets in the securities of investment companies in the aggregate. The portion of our portfolio invested in securities issued by investment companies ordinarily will subject our
stockholders to additional indirect expenses. Our investment portfolio is also subject to diversification requirements by virtue of our intended status to be a RIC for U.S. tax purposes. See Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K Risk
FactorsRisks Related to Our Business and Structure for more information.

In addition, investment companies registered
under the Investment Company Act and private funds that are excluded from the definition of investment company pursuant to either Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act may not acquire directly or through a
controlled entity more than 3% of our total outstanding voting stock (measured at the time of the acquisition), unless the funds comply with an exemption under the Investment Company Act. As a result, certain of our investors may hold a smaller
position in our shares than if they were not subject to these restrictions.

We are generally not able to issue and sell our common stock
at a price below net asset value per share. See Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Business and StructureRegulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to, and the way in
which we will, raise additional capital. We may, however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the then-current net asset value of our common stock if our Board of Directors
determines that such sale is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, and our stockholders approve such sale. In addition, we may generally issue new shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value in rights
offerings to existing stockholders, in payment of dividends and in certain other limited circumstances.

We will be periodically examined
by the SEC for compliance with the Investment Company Act.

As a BDC, we are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. See Part I,
Item 1A of this Form 10-K Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Business and Structure.

Qualifying Assets

Under the Investment Company Act, a BDC may not acquire any asset other than assets of the type listed in Section 55(a) of the Investment
Company Act, which are referred to as qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the BDCs total assets. The principal categories of qualifying assets relevant to our
proposed business are the following:



| | (1) | Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering from the issuer of such securities, which issuer (subject to certain limited exceptions) is an eligible portfolio company, or from any person who
is, or has been during the preceding 13 months, an affiliated person of an eligible portfolio company, or from any other person, subject to such rules as may be prescribed by the SEC. An eligible portfolio company is defined in the Investment
Company Act as any issuer which:
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (a) | is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of business in, the United States;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| | (b) | is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly owned by the BDC) or a company that would be an investment company but for certain exclusions under the Investment Company Act; and
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | satisfies any of the following:
| | --- | -------------------------------



| | i. | does not have any class of securities that is traded on a national securities exchange;
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | ii. | has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange, but has an aggregate market value of outstanding voting and non-voting common equity of less than $250 million;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | iii. | is controlled by a BDC or a group of companies including a BDC and the BDC has an affiliated person who is a director of the eligible portfolio company; or
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | iv. | is a small and solvent company having total assets of not more than $4.0 million and capital and surplus of not less than $2.0 million.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | Securities of any eligible portfolio company which we control.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | Securities purchased in a private transaction from a U.S. issuer that is not an investment company or from an affiliated person of the issuer, or in transactions incident thereto, if the issuer is in bankruptcy and
subject to reorganization or if the issuer, immediately prior to the purchase of its securities, was unable to meet its obligations as they came due without material assistance other than conventional lending or financing arrangements.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (4) | Securities of an eligible portfolio company purchased from any person in a private transaction if there is no ready market for such securities and we already own 60% of the outstanding equity of the eligible portfolio
company.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (5) | Securities received in exchange for or distributed on or with respect to securities described in (1) through (4) above, or pursuant to the exercise of warrants or rights relating to such securities.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (6) | Cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Managerial Assistance to Portfolio Companies

A BDC must have been organized under the laws of, and have its principal place of business in, any state or states within the United States and
must be operated for the purpose of making investments in the types of securities described in (1), (2) or (3) above. However, in order to count portfolio securities as qualifying assets for the purpose of the 70% test, the BDC must either
control the issuer of the securities or must offer to make available to the issuer of the securities (other than small and solvent companies described above) significant managerial assistance; except that, where the BDC purchases such securities in
conjunction with one or more other persons acting together, one of the other persons in the group may make available such managerial assistance. Making available managerial assistance means, among other things, any arrangement whereby the BDC,
through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted, does so provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company.

Temporary Investments

Pending investment
in other types of qualifying assets, as described above, our investments may consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, which we
refer to, collectively, as temporary investments, so that 70% of our assets are qualifying assets. We may also invest in U.S. Treasury bills or in repurchase agreements, provided that such agreements are fully collateralized by cash or
securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. A repurchase agreement involves the purchase by an investor, such as us, of a specified security and the



16



---

##### Table of Contents

simultaneous agreement by the seller to repurchase it at an agreed-upon future date and at a price which is greater than the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest
rate. There is no percentage restriction on the proportion of our assets that may be invested in such repurchase agreements. However, if more than 25% of our gross assets constitute repurchase agreements from a single counterparty, we would not meet
the diversification tests in order to qualify as a RIC. Thus, we do not intend to enter into repurchase agreements with a single counterparty in excess of this limit. Our Investment Adviser will monitor the creditworthiness of the counterparties
with which we enter into repurchase agreement transactions.

Senior Securities

We are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of stock senior to our common stock if
our asset coverage, as defined in the Investment Company Act, is at least equal to 200% immediately after each such issuance. In addition, while any senior securities remain outstanding, we must make provisions to prohibit any distribution to our
stockholders or the repurchase of such securities or shares unless we meet the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the distribution or repurchase. We may also borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of our total assets for temporary or
emergency purposes without regard to asset coverage.

Code of Ethics

We and CGMSIM have each adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and Rule 204A-1 under the
Advisers Act, respectively, that establishes procedures for personal investments and restricts certain transactions by our personnel. Our codes of ethics generally do not permit investments by our and CGMSIMs personnel in securities that may
be purchased or sold by us.

Compliance Policies and Procedures

We and CGMSIM have each adopted and implemented written policies and procedures reasonably designed to detect and prevent violation of the
federal securities laws and are required to review these compliance policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation and designate a Chief Compliance Officer to be responsible for administering the
policies and procedures.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) imposes a wide variety of new regulatory requirements on
publicly-held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements affect us. For example:



| |  |  | pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), our President and Chief Financial Officer must certify the accuracy of the financial statements contained in
our periodic reports;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pursuant to Item 307 of Regulation S-K, our periodic reports must disclose our conclusions about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, our management must prepare a report regarding its assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and, starting from the date on which we cease to be an emerging
growth company under the JOBS Act, must obtain an audit of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting performed by our independent registered public accounting firm; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | pursuant to Item 308 of Regulation S-K and Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, our periodic reports must disclose whether there were significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to material weaknesses.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires us to review our current policies and procedures to determine
whether we comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. We will continue to monitor our compliance with all regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will take actions necessary to ensure that we
are in compliance therewith, though we do not currently expect to be subject to several requirements. We expect to remain an emerging growth company because we do not intend to pursue an initial public offering. As long as we remain an emerging
growth company, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

We have delegated our proxy voting responsibility to our Investment Adviser, CGMSIM. The proxy voting policies and procedures of CGMSIM are set
forth below. These guidelines are reviewed periodically by CGMSIM and our directors who are not interested persons as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act (Independent Directors), and, accordingly,
are subject to change.

An investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act has a fiduciary duty to act solely in the best interests
of its clients. As part of this duty, CGMSIM recognizes that it must vote portfolio securities in a timely manner free of conflicts of interest and in the best interests of its clients.

These policies and procedures for voting proxies are intended to comply with Section 206 of, and Rule 206(4)-6 under, the Advisers
Act.

CGMSIM will vote proxies relating to our portfolio securities in what CGMSIM perceives to be the best interest of our stockholders.
CGMSIM will review on a case-by-case basis each proposal submitted to a stockholder vote to determine its impact on the portfolio securities held by us. Although CGMSIM will generally vote against proposals that may have a negative impact on our
portfolio securities, CGMSIM may vote for such a proposal if there exist compelling long-term reasons to do so.

CGMSIMs proxy
voting decisions will be made by the CGMSIM Investment Committee. To ensure that the vote is not the product of a conflict of interest, CGMSIM will require that: (1) anyone involved in the decision making process disclose to the CGMSIM
Investment Committee, and Independent Directors, any potential conflict that he or she is aware of and any contact that he or she has had with any interested party regarding a proxy vote; and (2) employees involved in the decision making
process or vote administration are prohibited from revealing how CGMSIM intends to vote on a proposal in order to reduce any attempted influence from interested parties.

Privacy Principles

We are committed to
maintaining the privacy of our stockholders and to safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following information is provided to help investors understand what personal information we collect, how we protect that information and why,
in certain cases, we may share information with select other parties.

Pursuant to our privacy policy, we do not disclose any non-public
personal information concerning any of our stockholders who are individuals unless the disclosure meets certain permitted exceptions under Regulation S-P. We generally do not use or disclose any stockholder information for any purpose other
than as required by law.

We may collect non-public information about investors from our subscription agreements or other forms, such as
name, address, account number and the types and amounts of investments, and information about



18

##### Table of Contents

transactions with us or our affiliates, such as participation in other investment programs, ownership of certain types of accounts or other account data and activity. We may disclose the
information that we collect from our stockholders or former stockholders, as described above, only to our affiliates and service providers and only as allowed by applicable law or regulation. Any party that receives this information uses it only for
the services required by us and as allowed by applicable law or regulation, and is not permitted to share or use this information for any other purpose. To protect the non-public personal information of individuals, we permit access only by
authorized personnel who need access to that information to provide services to us and our stockholders. In order to guard our stockholders non-public personal information, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that are
designed to comply with applicable law. Non-public personal information that we collect about our stockholders is generally stored on secured servers located in the United States. An individual stockholders right to privacy extends to all
forms of contact with us, including telephone, written correspondence and electronic media, such as the Internet.

Pursuant to our privacy
policy, we provide a clear and conspicuous notice to each investor that details our privacy policies and procedures at the time of the investors subscription. We post our privacy policy on our website (http://nfinvestmentcorp.com) and promptly
update the policy with any amendments.

Reporting Obligations

We furnish our stockholders with annual reports containing audited financial statements, quarterly reports, and such other periodic reports as
we determine to be appropriate or as may be required by law. We are required to comply with all periodic reporting, proxy solicitation and other applicable requirements under the Exchange Act.

Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, as well as reports on Forms 3, 4 and 5 regarding
directors, officers or 10% beneficial owners of us, filed or furnished pursuant to section 13(a), 15(d) or 16(a) of the Exchange Act, are available on our website (http://nfinvestmentcorp.com).

Stockholders and the public may also read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SECs Public Reference Room at 100 F Street,
NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may also obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains a website (www.sec.gov) that contains such information.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Potential investors should be aware that an investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk. There can be no assurance that the
Companys investment objectives will be achieved or that an investor will receive a return of its capital. In addition, there will be occasions when the Adviser and its affiliates may encounter potential conflicts of interest in connection with
the Company. The following considerations, in addition to the considerations set forth elsewhere herein, should be carefully evaluated before making an investment in the Company.

markets may experience periods of disruption and instability. These market conditions may materially and adversely affect debt and equity capital markets in the United States and abroad, which may in the future have a negative impact on our business
and operations.

From time to time, capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability. For example, between 2007
and 2009, the global capital markets experienced an extended period of disruption as evidenced by a lack of liquidity in the debt capital markets, write-offs in the financial services sector, the re-pricing of credit risk and the failure of certain
major financial institutions. Despite actions of the United States, federal

government and foreign governments, these events contributed to worsening general economic conditions that materially and adversely impacted the broader financial and credit markets and reduced
the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole and financial services firms in particular. While market conditions have experienced relative stability in recent years, there have been continuing periods of volatility such as
that experienced during the first quarter of 2016 and there can be no assurance that adverse market conditions will not repeat themselves in the future. During such periods of market disruption and instability, we and other companies in the
financial services sector may have limited access, if available, to alternative markets for debt and equity capital. Equity capital may be difficult to raise because, subject to some limited exceptions which will apply to us, as a BDC we will
generally not be able to issue additional shares of our common stock at a price less than net asset value. In addition, our ability to incur indebtedness (including by issuing preferred stock) is limited by applicable regulations such that our asset
coverage, as defined in the Investment Company Act, must equal at least 200% immediately after each time we incur indebtedness. The debt capital that will be available, if at all, may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions in
the future. Any inability to raise capital could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Given the extreme volatility and dislocation in the capital markets over the past several years, many BDCs have faced, and may in the future
face, a challenging environment in which to raise or access capital. In addition, significant changes in the capital markets, including the extreme volatility and disruption over the past several years, has had, and may in the future have, a
negative effect on the valuations of our investments and on the potential for liquidity events involving these investments. While most of our investments are not publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require us to assume as part of our
valuation process that our investments are sold in a principal market to market participants (even if we plan on holding an investment through its maturity). As a result, volatility in the capital markets can adversely affect our investment
valuations. Further, the illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell such investments if required and to value such investments. As a result, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we will have recorded our
investments. In addition, significant changes in the capital markets may have a negative effect on the valuations of our investments and on the potential for liquidity events involving our investments. An inability to raise capital, and any required
sale of our investments for liquidity purposes, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Uncertainty about the financial stability of the United States and of several countries in the European Union (EU) and China could have a significant
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Due to federal budget deficit concerns, S&P
downgraded the federal governments credit rating from AAA to AA+ for the first time in history on August 5, 2011. Further downgrades or warnings by S&P or other rating agencies, and the United States governments credit and
deficit concerns in general, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact both the perception of credit risk associated with our debt portfolio and our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. In
addition, a decreased U.S. government credit rating could create broader financial turmoil and uncertainty, which may weigh heavily on our financial performance and the value of our common stock.

In 2010, a financial crisis emerged in Europe, triggered by high budget deficits and rising direct and contingent sovereign debt in Greece,
Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain, which created concerns about the ability of these nations to continue to service their sovereign debt obligations. While the financial stability of such countries has improved significantly, risks resulting from
any future debt crisis in Europe or any similar crisis could have a detrimental impact on the global economic recovery, sovereign and non-sovereign debt in these countries and the financial condition of European financial institutions. Market and
economic disruptions have affected, and may in the future affect, consumer confidence levels and spending, personal bankruptcy rates, levels of incurrence and default on consumer debt and home prices, among other factors. We cannot assure you that
market disruptions in Europe, including the increased cost of funding for certain governments and financial institutions, will not impact the global economy, and we cannot assure you that assistance packages will be available, or if available, be
sufficient to stabilize countries and markets in Europe or elsewhere affected by a

financial crisis. To the extent uncertainty regarding any economic recovery in Europe negatively impacts consumer confidence and consumer credit factors, our business, financial condition and
results of operations could be adversely affected.

In the second quarter of 2015, stock prices in China experienced a significant drop,
resulting primarily from continued sell-off of shares trading in Chinese markets. In August 2015, Chinese authorities sharply devalued Chinas currency. These market and economic disruptions affected, and may in the future affect, the U.S.
capital markets, which could adversely affect our business.

In October 2014, the Federal Reserve announced that it was concluding its
bond-buying program, or quantitative easing, which was designed to stimulate the economy and expand the Federal Reserves holdings of long-term securities, suggesting that key economic indicators, such as the unemployment rate, had showed signs
of improvement since the inception of the program. It is unclear what effect, if any, the conclusion of the Federal Reserves bond-buying program will have on the value of our investments. However, it is possible that, without quantitative
easing by the Federal Reserve, these developments, along with the United States governments credit and deficit concerns and the European sovereign debt crisis, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact
our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. Additionally, in December 2015, the Federal Reserve raised the target range for the federal funds rate. However, if key economic indicators, such as the unemployment rate or inflation, do
not progress at a rate consistent with the Federal Reserves objectives, the target range for the federal funds rate may change and cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt
markets on favorable terms.

Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio companies and harm our operating results.

Many of the portfolio companies in which we make investments may be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions and may be unable to repay
the loans we made to them during these periods. Therefore, our non-performing assets may increase and the value of our portfolio may decrease during these periods as we are required to record our investments at their current fair value. Adverse
economic conditions also may decrease the value of collateral securing some of our loans and the value of our equity investments. Economic slowdowns or recessions could lead to financial losses in our portfolio and a decrease in revenues, net income
and assets. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our and our portfolio companies funding costs, limit our and our portfolio companies access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to
us or our portfolio companies. These events could prevent us from increasing investments and harm our operating results.

A portfolio
companys failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by us or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, acceleration of the time when the loans are due and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger
cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize the portfolio companys ability to meet its obligations under the debt that we hold. We may incur additional expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new
terms with a defaulting portfolio company. In addition, if one of our portfolio companies were to go bankrupt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which we will actually provide significant managerial assistance to that
portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might subordinate all or a portion of our claim to that of other creditors.

Capital markets may experience
periods of disruption and instability.

From time to time, the U.S. and global capital markets may experience periods of disruption
and instability. While market conditions have experienced relative stability in recent years, there have been continuing periods of volatility such as that experienced during the first quarter of 2016 and there can be no assurance that adverse
market conditions will not repeat themselves or worsen in the future. A prolonged period of market illiquidity may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Unfavorable economic conditions could also
increase our portfolio companies funding costs, limit their access to the capital markets or

result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to them. These events could limit our investment originations, limit their ability to grow and negatively impact our operating results.

Risks Related to Our Business and Structure

CGMSIM, the CGMSIM Investment Team, Carlyle, and our Directors and Executive Officers have limited prior experience managing a BDC.

Our Adviser was organized in February 2012 and has a limited operating history. Additionally, our Adviser, the members of the CGMSIM Investment
Team, Carlyle and our Directors and Executive Officers have limited prior experience managing the Company, and the investment philosophy and techniques used by our Investment Adviser to manage an SEC-reporting company may differ from the investment
philosophy and techniques previously employed by the investment team in identifying and managing past investments. Accordingly, we can offer no assurance that we will replicate the historical performance of other businesses or companies with which
the CGMSIM Investment Team has been affiliated, and our investment returns could be substantially lower than the returns achieved by such other companies.

Our financial condition and results of operations depend on our ability to manage future growth effectively.

Our ability to achieve our investment objective and to grow depends on our Investment Advisers ability to identify, invest in and monitor
companies that meet our investment criteria.

Accomplishing this result on a cost-effective basis is largely a function of our Investment
Advisers structuring of the investment process, its ability to provide competent, attentive and efficient services to us and its ability to access financing for us on acceptable terms. The CGMSIM Investment Team has substantial
responsibilities under the Investment Advisory Agreement, has substantial responsibilities in connection with managing GMS Finance, and may also be called upon to provide managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. However, we can offer no
assurance that any such investment professionals will contribute effectively to the work of the Investment Adviser. Any failure to manage our future growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

We may need to raise additional capital to grow because we must distribute most of our income.

We may need additional capital to fund growth in our investments. We have issued and expect to issue additional equity securities in connection
with the private offering of our shares of common stock to investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and other applicable securities laws
(the Private Offering) and expect to continue to borrow from financial institutions. A reduction in the availability of new capital could limit our ability to grow. We must distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income
to our stockholders to maintain our RIC status. As a result, any such cash earnings may not be available to fund investment originations. We have borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Facility and in the future may borrow under
additional debt facilities from financial institutions and issue additional debt and equity securities. If we fail to obtain funds from such sources or from other sources to fund our investments, it could limit our ability to grow, which may have an
adverse effect on the value of our securities. In addition, as a BDC, our ability to borrow or issue preferred stock may be restricted if our total assets are less than 200% of our total borrowings and preferred stock.

Any failure on our part to maintain our status as a BDC or RIC would reduce our operating flexibility, may hinder our achievement of our investment
objective, may limit our investment choices and may subject us to greater regulation.

The Investment Company Act imposes numerous
constraints on the operations of BDCs. For example, BDCs are required to invest at least 70% of their total assets in specified types of qualifying assets, primarily in private U.S. companies or thinly-traded U.S. public companies, cash,
cash equivalents, U.S. government

securities and other high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. In addition, subject to certain limited exceptions, an investment in an issuer that has outstanding securities
listed on a national exchange may be treated as a qualifying asset only if such issuer has a market capitalization that is less than $250 million at the time of such investment. In addition, as a RIC we are required to satisfy certain
source-of-income, diversification and distribution requirements. These constraints, among others, may hinder our ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and to achieve our investment objective.

Furthermore, any failure to comply with the requirements imposed on BDCs by the Investment Company Act could cause the SEC to bring an
enforcement action against us and/or expose us to claims of private litigants. In addition, upon approval of a majority of our stockholders, we may elect to withdraw our status as a BDC. If we decide to withdraw our election, or if we otherwise fail
to qualify, or maintain our qualification, as a BDC, we may be subject to substantially greater regulation under the Investment Company Act as a closed-end investment company. Compliance with such regulations would significantly decrease our
operating flexibility, and could significantly increase our cost of doing business.

Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability
to, and the way in which we will, raise additional capital. As a BDC, the necessity of raising additional capital may expose us to risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage.

We may issue debt securities or preferred stock and/or borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, which we refer to collectively
as senior securities, up to the maximum amount permitted by the Investment Company Act. Under the provisions of the Investment Company Act, we are permitted, as a BDC, to issue senior securities in amounts such that our asset coverage
ratio, as defined in the Investment Company Act, equals at least 200% of total assets less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of our assets declines, we may
be unable to satisfy this test. If that happens, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous. Also, any
amounts that we use to service our indebtedness would not be available for distributions to our common stockholders. Furthermore, as a result of issuing senior securities, our common stockholders would also be exposed to typical risks associated
with increased leverage, including an increased risk of loss resulting from increased indebtedness.

If we issue preferred stock, the
preferred stock would rank senior to common stock in our capital structure, preferred stockholders would have separate voting rights on certain matters and might have other rights, preferences, or privileges more favorable than those of
our common stockholders, and the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their
best interest.

We are not generally able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. We may, however,
sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the then-current net asset value per share of our common stock if our Board of Directors determines that such sale is in the best interests of us and
our stockholders and our stockholders approve such sale. In any such case, the price at which our securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price that, in the determination of our Board of Directors, closely approximates the market
value of such securities (less any distributing commission or discount). We do not presently intend to issue our common stock at a price below the then-current net asset value per share of our common stock in connection with the Private Offering. If
we raise additional funds by issuing more common stock, or senior securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common stock, then the percentage ownership of our stockholders at that time will decrease, and holders of our common stock might
experience dilution.

We borrow money, which magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and may increase the
risk of investing in us.

As part of our business strategy, we, including through our wholly-owned subsidiary, borrow from and may
in the future issue additional senior debt securities to banks, insurance companies and other lenders. Holders of these loans or senior securities would have fixed-dollar claims on our assets that are superior to the claims of our stockholders. If
the value of our assets decreases, leverage will cause our net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have without leverage. Similarly, any decrease in our income would cause our net income to decline more sharply than it would
have if we had not borrowed. This decline could negatively affect our ability to make dividend payments on our common stock. Our ability to service our borrowings depends largely on our financial performance and is subject to prevailing economic
conditions and competitive pressures. In addition, the management fees are payable based on our gross assets, including cash and assets acquired through the use of leverage, which may give our Adviser an incentive to use leverage to make additional
investments. See We may be obligated to pay our Investment Adviser even if we incur a loss. The amount of leverage that we employ will depend on our Investment Advisers and our Board of Directors assessment of
market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain credit at all or on terms acceptable to us.

Our Revolving Credit Facility and Facility also impose financial and operating covenants that restrict our business activities, remedies on
default and similar matters. As of December 31, 2015, we are in compliance with the covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility and Facility. However, our continued compliance with these covenants depends on many factors, some of which are
beyond our control. Accordingly, although we believe we will continue to be in compliance, we cannot assure you that we will continue to comply with the covenants in our Revolving Credit Facility and Facility. Failure to comply with these covenants
could result in a default. If we were unable to obtain a waiver of a default from the lenders or holders of that indebtedness, as applicable, those lenders or holders could accelerate repayment under that indebtedness. An acceleration could have a
material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Lastly, we may be unable to obtain additional leverage, which would, in turn, affect our return on capital.

As of December 31, 2015, we had $118.2 million of outstanding consolidated indebtedness, which would have an annualized interest cost of
2.04% under the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility and Facility, excluding fees (such as fees on undrawn amounts and amortization of upfront fees), to the extent the amount remains outstanding. Since we generally pay interest at a floating rate
on our Revolving Credit Facility and Facility, an increase in interest rates will generally increase our borrowing costs. We expect that our annualized interest cost and returns required to cover interest will increase after we issue debt
securities.

Changes in interest rates may increase our cost of capital, reduce the ability of our portfolio companies to service their debt
obligations and decrease our net investment income.

General interest rate fluctuations and changes in credit spreads on floating
rate loans may have a substantial negative impact on our investments and investment opportunities and, accordingly, may have a material adverse effect on our rate of return on invested capital, our net investment income and our net asset value.
Substantially all of our debt investments will have variable interest rates that reset periodically based on benchmarks such as LIBOR and the prime rate, so an increase in interest rates from their historically low present levels may make it more
difficult for our portfolio companies to service their obligations under the debt investments that we will hold. In addition, to the extent we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income depends, in part, upon the difference between
the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we can offer no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income to the
extent we use debt to finance our investments. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income.

Our portfolio companies may prepay loans, which may have the effect of reducing our investment income if
the returned capital cannot be invested in transactions with equal or greater yields.

Loans are generally callable at any time,
most of them at no premium to par. We are generally unable to predict the rate and frequency of such repayments. Whether a loan is called will depend both on the continued positive performance of the portfolio company and the existence of favorable
financing market conditions that allow such portfolio company the ability to replace existing financing with less expensive capital. As market conditions change frequently, we will often be unable to predict when, and if, this may be possible for
each of our portfolio companies. In the case of some of these loans, having the loan called early may have the effect of reducing our actual investment income below our expected investment income if the capital returned cannot be invested in
transactions with equal or greater yields.

The financial projections of our portfolio companies could prove inaccurate.

We generally evaluate the capital structure of portfolio companies on the basis of financial projections prepared by the management of such
portfolio companies. These projected operating results are normally based primarily on judgments of the management of the portfolio companies. In all cases, projections are only estimates of future results that are based upon assumptions made at the
time that the projections are developed. General economic conditions, which are not predictable with accuracy, along with other factors may cause actual performance to fall short of the financial projections that were used to establish a given
portfolio companys capital structure. Because of the leverage that is typically employed by our portfolio companies, this could cause a substantial decrease in the value of our investment in the portfolio company. The inaccuracy of financial
projections could thus cause our performance to fall short of our expectations.

Our portfolio securities typically do not have a readily available
market price and, in such a case, we will value these securities at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by our Board of Directors, which valuation is inherently subjective and may not reflect what we may actually realize
for the sale of the investment.

Substantially all of our portfolio investments are in the form of debt investments that are not
publicly traded. The fair value of these securities is not readily determinable. We value these investments on at least a quarterly basis in accordance with our valuation policy, which is at all times consistent with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (US GAAP). Our Board of Directors utilizes the services of a third-party valuation firm to aid it in determining the fair value of these investments. The Board of Directors discusses valuations and
determines the fair value in good faith based on the input of our Investment Adviser and the third-party valuation firm. The participation of our Investment Adviser in our valuation process could result in a conflict of interest, since the
management fees are based on our gross assets. The factors that are considered in the fair value pricing of our investments include the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments and its
earnings, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons to publicly-traded companies, discounted cash flow, relevant credit market indices, and other relevant factors. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of
private investments and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates, our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready
market for these securities existed. In addition, the valuation of these types of securities may result in substantial write-downs and earnings volatility.

Our net asset value as of a particular date may be materially greater than or less than the value that would be realized if our assets were to
be liquidated as of such date. For example, if we were required to sell a certain asset or all or a substantial portion of its assets on a particular date, the actual price that we would realize upon the disposition of such asset or assets could be
materially less than the value of such asset or assets as reflected in our net asset value. Volatile market conditions could also cause reduced liquidity in the market for certain assets, which could result in liquidation values that are materially
less than the values of such assets as reflected in our net asset value.

##### Table of Contents

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly results.

We could experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including the interest rate payable on the debt
securities we acquire, the default rate on such securities, the level of our expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses and changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation, the degree to
which we encounter competition in our markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.

There are significant potential conflicts of interest, including the management of GMS Finance and other funds affiliated with Carlyle by our Investment
Advisers key investment professionals, which could impact our investment returns.

Our executive officers and directors, as
well as the other current and future principals of our Investment Adviser, CGMSIM, may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as we do. Currently, our executive officers, as well
as the other principals of our Investment Adviser, CGMSIM, manage other funds affiliated with Carlyle. In addition, the CGMSIM Investment Team has responsibilities for sourcing and managing U.S. middle market debt investments and other middle market
opportunistic investments for GMS Finance. Accordingly, they have obligations to investors in GMS Finance, the fulfillment of which obligations may not be in the best interests of, or may be adverse to the interests of, us or our stockholders.

In addition, we note that any affiliated investment vehicle currently existing, or formed in the future, and managed by our Investment Adviser
or its affiliates, including Carlyle, may, notwithstanding different stated investment objectives, have overlapping investment objectives with our own and, accordingly, may invest in asset classes similar to those targeted by us. As a result, CGMSIM
may face conflicts in allocating investment opportunities between us and such other entities. Although CGMSIM will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, it is possible that, in the future, we may not be given
the opportunity to participate in investments made by investment funds managed by our Investment Adviser or an investment manager affiliated with our Investment Adviser, including Carlyle. In any such case, when CGMSIM identifies an investment, it
will be forced to choose which investment fund should make the investment.

We and our affiliates may own investments at different levels
of a portfolio companys capital structure or otherwise own different classes of a portfolio companys securities. Such investments may inherently give rise to conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest between or among the
various classes of securities that may be held. Conflicts may also arise because portfolio decisions regarding our portfolio may benefit our affiliates. Our affiliates may pursue or enforce rights with respect to one of our portfolio companies, and
those activities may have an adverse effect on us. As a result, prices, availability, liquidity and terms of our investments may be negatively impacted by the activities of our affiliates, and transactions for us may be impaired or effected at
prices or terms that may be less favorable than would otherwise have been the case.

Carlyle considers its One Carlyle
philosophy and the ability of its professionals to communicate and collaborate across funds, industries and geographies one of its significant competitive strengths. As a result of the expansion of its platform into various lines of business in the
alternative asset management industry, Carlyle is subject to a number of actual and potential conflicts of interest and subject to greater regulatory oversight than that to which it would otherwise be subject if it had just one line of business. In
addition, as Carlyle expands its platform, the allocation of investment opportunities among its investment funds, including us, is expected to become more complex. In addressing these conflicts and regulatory requirements across Carlyles
various businesses, Carlyle has and may continue to implement certain policies and procedures (for example, information barriers). As a practical matter, the establishment and maintenance of such information barriers means that collaboration between
our investment professionals across various platforms or with respect to certain investments may be limited, reducing potential synergies that Carlyle has cultivated across these businesses through its One Carlyle approach. In addition,
we may come into possession of material non-public

information with respect to issuers in which we may be considering making an investment. As a consequence, we may be precluded from providing such information or other ideas to other funds
affiliated with Carlyle that benefit from such information. To the extent we or any other funds affiliated with Carlyle fail to appropriately deal with any such conflicts, it could negatively impact our reputation or Carlyles reputation and
our ability to raise additional funds and the willingness of counterparties to do business with us or result in potential litigation against us. Our communications with Carlyle Corporate Private Equity, Real Asset and Solutions personnel are subject
to certain restrictions as set forth in Carlyles information barrier policy. In that regard, it is not generally expected the investment personnel involved in our day-to-day affairs will discuss any issuer-specific information with other
members of Carlyle outside the GMS group. In addition to the information barriers between GMS and Private Equity, Real Assets and Solutions, there is an information barrier between different fund groups within GMS.

In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with affiliates and portfolio companies that may be considered related
party transactions. In order to ensure that we do not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with us, we have implemented certain policies and procedures whereby certain of our executive officers screen each of our
transactions for any possible affiliations between the proposed portfolio investment, us, companies controlled by us, any stockholders that own more than 5% of us and our employees and directors. We will not enter into any agreements unless and
until we are satisfied that doing so will not raise concerns under the Investment Company Act or, if such concerns exist, we have taken appropriate actions to seek Board of Directors review and approval or SEC exemptive relief for such transaction.
Our Board of Directors will review these procedures on an annual basis.

In the course of our investing activities, we pay management fees
to CGMSIM and reimburse CGMSIM for certain expenses it incurs in accordance with our Investment Advisory Agreement. As a result, investors in our common stock invest on a gross basis and receive distributions on a net basis
after expenses, resulting in a lower rate of return than an investor might achieve through direct investments. Accordingly, there may be times when the senior management team of CGMSIM has interests that differ from those of our stockholders, giving
rise to a conflict.

We pay CGMSFA, an affiliate of CGMSIM, its costs and expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by it in
performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including compensation paid to or compensatory distributions received by our officers (including our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer) and their respective staff who
provide services to us, operations staff who provide services to us, and internal audit staff in their role of performing our Sarbanes-Oxley Act internal control assessment. These arrangements create conflicts of interest that our Board of Directors
monitors.

The valuation process for certain of our portfolio holdings creates a conflict of interest.

Many of our portfolio investments will, we expect, continue to be made in the form of securities that are not publicly traded. As a
result, our Board of Directors determines the fair value of these securities in good faith as described above in Our portfolio securities typically do not have a readily available market price and, in such a case, we will value these
securities at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by our Board of Directors, which valuation is inherently subjective and may not reflect what we may actually realize for the sale of the investment.In
connection with that determination, investment professionals of CGMSIM provide our Board of Directors with valuations based upon the most recent portfolio company financial statements available and projected financial results of each portfolio
company. In addition, the interested directors on ourBoard of Directors have an indirect pecuniary interest in CGMSIM. The participation of CGMSIMs investment professionals in our valuation process, and the indirect pecuniary interest
in our Investment Adviser by the interested directors on our Board of Directors, could result in a conflict of interest as CGMSIMs management fees are based on our gross assets.

##### Table of Contents

Our fee structure may induce our Investment Adviser to incur leverage and investors may bear the cost of
multiple levels of fees and expenses.

Because the management fees payable to our Adviser are payable based on our gross assets,
including those assets acquired through the use of leverage, CGMSIM has a financial incentive to incur leverage which may not be consistent with our stockholders interests.

We may invest, to the extent permitted by law, in the securities and instruments of other investment companies, including private funds, and,
to the extent we so invest, bear our ratable share of any such investment companys expenses, including management and performance fees. We also remain obligated to pay management fees to CGMSIM with respect to the assets invested in the
securities and instruments of other investment companies. With respect to each of these investments, each of our stockholders bear his or her share of the management fees of CGMSIM as well as indirectly bearing the management and performance fees
and other expenses of any investment companies in which we invest.

We will become subject to corporate-level income tax if we are unable to qualify
and maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code.

Although we have elected to be
treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for 2013 and intend to continue to elect to be so treated in succeeding tax years, no assurance can be given that we will be able to qualify for and maintain RIC status. To obtain and maintain RIC tax
treatment under the Code, we must meet the following annual distribution, income source and asset diversification requirements.



| |  |  | The Annual Distribution Requirement for a RIC will be satisfied if we distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, which is generally our
ordinary taxable income plus the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, if any. Because we use debt financing, we are subject to certain asset coverage ratio requirements under the Investment
Company Act and financial covenants under loan and credit agreements that could, under certain circumstances, restrict us from making distributions necessary to satisfy the distribution requirement. If we are unable to obtain cash from other
sources, we could fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.

| |  |  | The income source requirement will be satisfied if we derive in each taxable year at least 90% of our gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to loans of certain securities, gains from the sale of
stock or other securities or foreign currencies, net income from certain qualified publicly traded partnerships, or other income derived with respect to our business of investing in such stock or securities or foreign currencies.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The asset diversification requirement will be satisfied if we meet certain asset diversification requirements at the end of each quarter of our taxable year. Failure to meet those requirements may result in our having
to dispose of certain investments quickly in order to prevent the loss of RIC status. Because most of our investments will be in private companies, and therefore will be relatively illiquid, any such dispositions could be made at disadvantageous
prices and could result in substantial losses.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment for any reason or become subject
to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions.

We may have difficulty satisfying the Annual Distribution Requirement in order to qualify and maintain RIC status if we recognize income before or
without receiving cash representing such income.

We may make investments that produce income that is not matched by a
corresponding cash receipt by us. Any such income would be treated as income earned by us and therefore would be subject to the distribution requirements of the Code. Such investments may require us to borrow money or dispose of other securities in

order to comply with those requirements. However, under the Investment Company Act, we are not permitted to make distributions to our stockholders while our debt obligations and other senior
securities are outstanding unless an asset coverage test is met. See Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-KBusinessOur Regulatory StructureRegulation as a Business Development CompanySenior
Securities.

If we are prohibited from making distributions or are unable to raise additional debt or equity capital or sell
assets to make distributions, we may not be able to make sufficient distributions to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, and therefore would not be able to maintain our qualification as a RIC. Additionally, we may make investments that
result in the recognition of ordinary income rather than capital gain, or that prevent us from accruing a long-term holding period. These investments may prevent us from making capital gain distributions.

Because we currently do not and do not expect to qualify as a publicly offered regulated investment company, as defined in the Code,
stockholders are and will be taxed as though they received a distribution of some of our expenses.

A publicly offered
regulated investment company is a RIC whose shares are either (i) continuously offered pursuant to a public offering, (ii) regularly traded on an established securities market or (iii) held by at least 500 persons at all times
during the taxable year. Because we currently do not and do not expect to qualify as a publicly offered RIC, a non-corporate stockholders allocable portion of our affected expenses, including our management fees, is and will be treated as an
additional distribution to the stockholder, and is and will be deductible by such stockholder only to the extent permitted under the limitations described below. For non-corporate stockholders, including individuals, trusts, and estates, significant
limitations generally apply to the deductibility of certain expenses of a non-publicly offered RIC, including advisory fees. In particular, these expenses, referred to as miscellaneous itemized deductions, are deductible to an individual only to the
extent they exceed 2% of such a stockholders adjusted gross income, and are not deductible for alternative minimum tax purposes.

We are
subject to risks in using custodians, administrators and other agents.

We depend on the services of custodians, administrators,
including State Street, and other agents to carry out certain securities transactions and administrative services for us. In the event of the insolvency of a custodian, we may not be able to recover equivalent assets in full as we will rank among
the custodians unsecured creditors in relation to assets which the custodian borrows, lends or otherwise uses. In addition, our cash held with a custodian may not be segregated from the custodians own cash, and we therefore may rank as
unsecured creditors in relation thereto. The inability to recover assets from the custodian could have a material impact on our performance.

We
will expend significant financial and other resources to comply with the requirements of being a public entity.

As a public
entity, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and
current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, which are discussed below. See Part
I, Item 1 of this Form 10-K BusinessOur Regulatory StructureRegulation as a Business Development CompanySarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures and internal controls, significant resources and management oversight is required. We will continue to implement procedures, processes, policies and practices for the purpose of addressing the standards and requirements
applicable to public companies. These activities may divert managements attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We expect to
incur significant additional annual expenses related to these steps and, among other things,

##### Table of Contents

directors and officers liability insurance, director fees, reporting requirements of the SEC, transfer agent fees, additional administrative expenses payable to our Administrator to
compensate them for hiring additional accounting, legal and administrative personnel, increased auditing and legal fees and similar expenses.

The systems and resources necessary to comply with public company reporting requirements will increase further if we cease to be an
emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. We expect to remain an emerging growth company because we do not intend to pursue an initial public offering. As long as we remain an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of
certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act.

We are obligated to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain effective
internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our common stock.

We are obligated to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, including the internal control evaluation and
certification requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Section 404). We will not be required to comply with all of the requirements under Section 404 until the date we are no longer an emerging growth company
under the JOBS Act. Accordingly, our internal controls over financial reporting do not currently meet all of the standards contemplated by Section 404 that we may eventually be required to meet. Specifically, we are required to conduct annual
management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting until the date we are no longer an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

If we are not able to implement the
applicable requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, our operations, financial reporting or financial results could be adversely affected. Matters impacting our internal controls may cause us to be unable to
report our financial information on a timely basis and thereby subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions by the SEC, and result in a breach of the covenants under the agreements governing any of our financing arrangements.
There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of our financial statements could also suffer if we or our
independent registered public accounting firm were to report a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. This could materially adversely affect us and holders of our common stock.

Stockholders may be subject to filing requirements under the Exchange Act as a result of an investment in us.

Because our common stock is registered under the Exchange Act, ownership information for any person who beneficially owns 5% or more of our
common stock must be disclosed in a Schedule 13D or other filings with the SEC. Beneficial ownership for these purposes is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes having voting or investment power over the securities. In
some circumstances, investors who choose to reinvest their dividends may see their percentage stake in us increased to more than 5%, thus triggering this filing requirement. Although we provide in our quarterly financial statements the amount of
outstanding stock and the amount of the investors stock, the responsibility for determining the filing obligation and preparing the filing remains with the investor. In addition, owners of 10% or more of our common stock are subject to
reporting obligations under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Certain investors are limited in their ability to make significant investments
in us.

Private funds that are excluded from the definition of investment company either pursuant to
Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act are restricted from acquiring directly or through a controlled entity more than 3% of our total outstanding voting stock (measured at the time of the acquisition).



30

##### Table of Contents

Investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act are also subject to this restriction as well as other limitations under the Investment Company Act that would restrict the amount
that they are able to invest in our securities. As a result, certain investors may be precluded from acquiring additional shares, at a time that they might desire to do so.

Stockholders may be subject to the short-swing profits rules under the Exchange Act as a result of an investment in us.

Persons with the right to appoint a director or who hold 10% or more of a class of our shares may be subject to Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act, which recaptures for the benefit of the issuer profits from the purchase and sale of registered stock within a six-month period.

Investors in the Private Offering are subject to transfer restrictions.

Investors who participate in the Private Offering may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of (in each case, a Transfer)
any common stock unless (i) we give consent and (ii) the Transfer is made in accordance with applicable securities laws. No Transfer will be effectuated except by registration of the Transfer on our books. Each transferee must agree to be
bound by these restrictions and all other obligations as an investor in us.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to reclassify any unissued shares
of common stock into one or more classes of preferred stock, which could convey special rights and privileges to its owners.

Under
the Maryland General Corporation Law (MGCL) and our charter, our Board of Directors is authorized to classify and reclassify any authorized but unissued shares of stock into one or more classes of stock, including preferred stock. Prior
to the issuance of shares of each class or series, the Board of Directors is required by Maryland law and our charter to set the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other
distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each class or series. Thus, the Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. The cost of any such reclassification would be borne by our existing common
stockholders. Certain matters under the Investment Company Act require the separate vote of the holders of any issued and outstanding preferred stock. For example, holders of preferred stock would vote separately from the holders of common stock on
a proposal to cease operations as a BDC. In addition, the Investment Company Act provides that holders of preferred stock are entitled to vote separately from holders of common stock to elect two preferred stock directors. We currently have no plans
to issue preferred stock, but may determine to do so in the future. The issuance of preferred stock convertible into shares of common stock might also reduce the net income per share and net asset value per share of our common stock upon conversion,
provided, that we will only be permitted to issue such convertible preferred stock to the extent we comply with the requirements of Section 61 of the Investment Company Act, including obtaining common stockholder approval. These effects, among
others, could have an adverse effect on an investment in our common stock.

Provisions of the MGCL and of our charter and bylaws could deter
takeover attempts and have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

The MGCL and our charter and bylaws contain
provisions that may discourage, delay or make more difficult a change in control of NFIC or the removal of our directors. We are subject to the Maryland Business Combination Act (MBCA), subject to any applicable requirements of the
Investment Company Act. Our Board of Directors has adopted a resolution exempting from the MBCA any business combination between us and any other person, subject to prior approval of such business combination by our Board of Directors, including
approval by a majority of our Independent Directors. If the resolution exempting business combinations is



31



---

##### Table of Contents

repealed or our Board of Directors does not approve a business combination, the Business Combination Act may discourage third parties from trying to acquire control of us and increase the
difficulty of consummating such an offer. Our bylaws exempt from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act (Control Share Act) acquisitions of our stock by any person. If we amend our bylaws to repeal the exemption from the Control
Share Act, the Control Share Act also may make it more difficult for a third party to obtain control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating such a transaction. However, we will amend our bylaws to be subject to the Control Share Act only
if our Board of Directors determines that it would be in our best interests and if the SEC staff does not object to our determination that our being subject to the Control Share Act does not conflict with the Investment Company Act. The SEC staff
has issued informal guidance setting forth its position that certain provisions of the Control Share Act would, if implemented, violate Section 18(i) of the Investment Company Act.

We have also adopted measures that may make it difficult for a third party to obtain control of us, including provisions of our charter
classifying our Board of Directors in three classes serving staggered three-year terms, and authorizing our Board of Directors to classify or reclassify shares of our stock in one or more classes or series, to cause the issuance of additional shares
of our stock, to amend our charter without stockholder approval and to increase or decrease the number of shares of stock that we have authority to issue. These provisions, as well as other provisions of our charter and bylaws, may delay, defer or
prevent a transaction or a change in control that might otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Our Board of Directors may change
our investment objectives, operating policies and strategies without prior notice and without stockholder approval.

Our Board of
Directors has the authority to modify or, if applicable, waive our investment objectives, operating policies and strategies without prior notice (except as required by the Investment Company Act) and without stockholder approval. In addition, none
of our investment policies is fundamental and any of them may be changed without stockholder approval. However, absent stockholder approval, we may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or withdraw our election as, a BDC. We
cannot predict the effect any changes to our current investment objectives, operating policies or strategies would have on our business, operating results and value of our stock. Nevertheless, the effects may adversely affect our business and impact
our ability to make distributions.

A failure in our operational systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties, as well as cyber-attacks
could significantly disrupt our business or negatively affect our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

We rely
heavily on our and third parties financial, accounting, information and other data processing systems. Any failure or interruption of those systems, including as a result of the termination of an agreement with any third-party service
providers, could cause delays or other problems in our activities. We face various security threats on a regular basis, including ongoing cyber security threats to and attacks on our information technology infrastructure that are intended to gain
access to our proprietary information, destroy data or disable, degrade or sabotage our systems. These security threats could originate from a wide variety of sources, including unknown third parties outside the Company. Although we are not
currently aware that we have been subject to cyber-attacks or other cyber incidents which, individually or in the aggregate, have materially affected our operations or financial condition, there can be no assurance that the various procedures and
controls we utilize to mitigate these threats will be sufficient to prevent disruptions to our systems. If any of these systems do not operate properly or are disabled for any reason or if there is any unauthorized disclosure of data, whether as a
result of tampering, a breach of our network security systems, a cyber-incident or attack or otherwise, we could suffer substantial financial loss, increased costs, a disruption of our businesses, liability to our investors, regulatory intervention
or reputational damage. In addition, we operate in a business that is highly dependent on information systems and technology. The information systems and technology that we rely on may not continue

to be able to accommodate our growth, and the cost of maintaining such systems may increase from its current level. Such a failure to accommodate growth, or an increase in costs related to such
information systems, could have a material adverse effect on us.

Furthermore, we depend on our and our Investment Advisers
headquarters in New York, New York, where most of our executives, investment professionals and administrative and operations personnel are located, for the continued operation of our business. Disasters, such as natural disasters, pandemics, events
arising from local or larger scale political or social matters or weather events, or disruptions in the infrastructure that supports our businesses, such as sudden electrical or telecommunications outages, could have a material adverse impact on our
ability to continue to operate our business without interruption. Our disaster recovery programs may not be sufficient to mitigate the harm that may result from such disasters or disruptions. In addition, insurance and other safeguards might only
partially reimburse us for our losses, if at all.

Changes in laws or regulations governing our business or the businesses of our portfolio
companies and any failure by us or our portfolio companies to comply with these laws or regulations may adversely affect our business and the businesses of our portfolio companies.

We and our portfolio companies are subject to laws and regulations at the U.S. federal, state and local levels. These laws and regulations, as
well as their interpretation, may change from time to time, and new laws, regulations and interpretations may also come into effect. Any such new or changed laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, from
time to time the market for private equity transactions has been (and is currently being) adversely affected by a decrease in the availability of senior and subordinated financings for transactions, in part in response to credit market disruptions
and/or regulatory pressures on providers of financing to reduce or eliminate their exposure to the risks involved in such transactions.

In addition, as private equity firms become more influential participants in the U.S. and global financial markets and economy generally,
there recently has been pressure for greater governmental scrutiny and/or regulation of the private equity industry, in part. It is uncertain as to what form and in what jurisdictions such enhanced scrutiny and/or regulation, if any, on the private
equity industry may ultimately take. Therefore, there can be no assurance as to whether any such scrutiny or initiatives will have an adverse impact on the private equity industry, including our ability to effect operating improvements or
restructurings of its portfolio companies or otherwise achieve its objectives.

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) was signed into law. Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act have extended implementation periods and delayed effective dates and will require extensive rulemaking by regulatory
authorities. While the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on us and our portfolio companies may not be known for an extended period of time, the Dodd-Frank Act, including future rules implementing its provisions and the interpretation of those rules,
along with other legislative and regulatory proposals directed at the financial services industry and the financial markets (including derivative markets) or affecting taxation that are proposed or pending in the U.S. Congress, may negatively impact
the operations, cash flows or financial condition of us or our portfolio companies, impose additional costs on us or our portfolio companies, restrict or further regulate certain of our activities, including derivative trading and hedging
activities, intensify the regulatory supervision of us or our portfolio companies or otherwise adversely affect our business or the business of our portfolio companies. In addition, if we do not comply with applicable laws and regulations, we could
lose any licenses that we then hold for the conduct of our business and may be subject to civil fines and criminal penalties.

Our Investment Adviser can resign upon 60 days notice, and we may not be able to find a suitable
replacement within that time, resulting in a disruption in our operations that could adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.

Our Investment Adviser has the right, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, to resign at any time upon 60 days written notice,
whether we have found a replacement or not. If our Investment Adviser resigns, we may not be able to find a new investment adviser or hire internal management with similar expertise and ability to provide the same or equivalent services on
acceptable terms within 60 days, or at all. If we are unable to do so quickly, our operations are likely to experience a disruption, our financial condition, business and results of operations as well as our ability to pay distributions are
likely to be adversely affected and the value of our shares may decline. In addition, the coordination of our internal management and investment activities is likely to suffer if we are unable to identify and reach an agreement with a single
institution or group of executives having the expertise possessed by our Investment Adviser and its affiliates. Even if we are able to retain comparable management, whether internal or external, the integration of such management and their lack of
familiarity with our investment objective may result in additional costs and time delays that may adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations. Moreover, the termination by our Investment Adviser of our Investment
Advisory Agreement for any reason will be an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility, which could result in the immediate acceleration of the amounts due under the Revolving Credit Facility. Similarly, it will be an event of default
under the Facility if our Investment Adviser or an affiliate of our Investment Adviser ceases to manage us, which could result in the immediate acceleration of the amounts due under the Facility.

Our Administrator can resign from its role as Administrator under the Administration Agreement, and a suitable replacement may not be found, resulting
in disruptions that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our Administrator has the
right to resign under the Administration Agreement upon 60 days written notice, whether a replacement has been found or not. If our Administrator resigns, it may be difficult to find a new administrator or hire internal management with similar
expertise and ability to provide the same or equivalent services on acceptable terms, or at all. If a replacement is not found quickly, our business, results of operations and financial condition are likely to be adversely affected and the value of
our common stock may decline. Even if a comparable service provider or individuals to perform such services are retained, whether internal or external, their integration into our business and lack of familiarity with our investment objective may
result in additional costs and time delays that may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Any of
our three sub-administrators can resign from their respective roles pursuant to the Carlyle Employee Co. Sub-Administration Agreement, the CELF Sub-Administration Agreement and the State Street Sub-Administration Agreement, and suitable replacements
may not be found, resulting in disruptions that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Each of Carlyle Employee Co., CELF and State Street has the right to resign under their respective agreements, the Carlyle Employee Co.
Sub-Administration Agreement, the CELF Sub-Administration Agreement and the State Street Sub-Administration Agreement, upon 60 days written notice, whether a replacement has been found or not. If any of our sub-administrators resign, it may be
difficult to find a new administrator or hire internal management with similar expertise and ability to provide the same or equivalent services on acceptable terms, or at all. If a replacement is not found quickly, our business, results of
operations and financial condition are likely to be adversely affected and the value of our common stock may decline. Even if a comparable service provider or individuals to perform such services are retained, whether internal or external, their
integration into our business and lack of familiarity with our investment objective may result in additional costs and time delays that may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

There may be significant concentrations of voting power within our company.

We may have, for a period of time or indefinitely, a concentration of voting power among a small number of stockholders. In this case, these
stockholders may be able to make decisions, including approval of modifications to our governing documents or the proposal and approval of significant transactions, that materially affect your rights and the value of your stock, and that might not
be aligned with your best interests. Generally, these stockholders will have no obligation to take your interests into account in making voting decisions.

Risks Related to Our Investments

We operate in a
highly competitive market for investment opportunities, and compete with investment vehicles sponsored or advised by our affiliates.

A number of entities compete with us to make the types of investments that we target in leveraged companies. We compete with other BDCs, public
and private funds, commercial and investment banks, commercial finance companies and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equity funds, some of which may be affiliates of us. Many of our competitors are substantially
larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. For example, some competitors may have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition, some of our
competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments than we do, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish more relationships than us. Furthermore, many of our competitors are not subject to
the regulatory restrictions that the Investment Company Act and the Code impose on us. The competitive pressures we face may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, as a result of this
competition, we may not be able to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities from time to time, and we can offer no assurance that we will be able to identify and make investments that are consistent with our investment objective.

We do not seek to compete primarily based on the interest rates we offer, and we believe that some of our competitors may make loans with
interest rates that are comparable to or lower than the rates we offer. We may lose investment opportunities if we do not match our competitors pricing, terms and structure. However, if we match our competitors pricing, terms and
structure, we may experience decreased net interest income and increased risk of credit loss.

We may not replicate the historical success of
Carlyle, and our ability to enter into transactions with Carlyle and our other affiliates is restricted.

We cannot provide any
assurance that we will replicate the historical success of Carlyle, and our investment returns could be substantially lower than the returns achieved by other Carlyle managed funds.

In addition, the Investment Company Act and the Code impose numerous constraints on the operations of BDCs and RICs that do not apply to the
other types of investment vehicles. For example, under the Investment Company Act, BDCs are required to invest at least 70% of their total assets primarily in securities of qualifying U.S. private companies or thinly traded public companies, cash,
cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less from the time of investment. The CGMSIM Investment Teams limited experience in managing a portfolio of assets under such
constraints may hinder their respective ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and, as a result, achieve our investment objectives.

Further, we and certain of our controlled affiliates are prohibited under the Investment Company Act from knowingly participating in certain
transactions with our upstream affiliates, or our Investment Adviser and its affiliates, without the prior approval of our Independent Directors and, in some cases, the SEC. Any person that owns, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of our outstanding
voting securities is our upstream affiliate for purposes of the Investment Company Act and we are generally prohibited from buying or selling any security (other than



35



---

##### Table of Contents

our securities) from or to such affiliate, absent the prior approval of our Independent Directors. The Investment Company Act also prohibits joint transactions with an upstream
affiliate, or our Adviser or its affiliates, which could include investments in the same portfolio company (whether at the same or different times), without prior approval of our Independent Directors. In addition, we and certain of our controlled
affiliates are prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to, or entering into joint transactions with, our Adviser and its affiliates, or any person who owns more than 25% of our voting securities or is otherwise deemed to control, be
controlled by, or be under common control with us, absent the prior approval of the SEC through an exemptive order (other than in certain limited situations pursuant to current regulatory guidance as described below). The analysis of whether a
particular transaction constitutes a joint transaction requires a review of the relevant facts and circumstances then existing.

In
addition to co-investing pursuant to our Exemptive Relief, we may invest alongside affiliates or their affiliates in certain circumstances where doing so is consistent with applicable law and current regulatory guidance. For example, we may invest
alongside such investors consistent with guidance promulgated by the SEC staff permitting us and an affiliated person to purchase interests in a single class of privately placed securities so long as certain conditions are met, including that we
negotiate no term other than price. We may, in certain cases, also make investments in securities owned by affiliates that we acquire from non-affiliates. In such circumstances, our ability to participate in any restructuring of such investment or
other transaction involving the issuer of such investment may be limited, and as a result, we may realize a loss on such investments that might have been prevented or reduced had we not been restricted in participating in such restructuring or other
transaction.

Our investments are risky and speculative.

We invest primarily in loans to middle market companies whose debt, if rated, is rated below investment grade. Investments rated below
investment grade are generally considered higher risk than investment grade instruments.

First Lien Senior Secured Loans. When we
make a senior secured term loan investment in a portfolio company, we generally take a security interest in substantially all of the available assets of the portfolio company, including the equity interests of its domestic subsidiaries, which we
expect to help mitigate the risk that we will not be repaid. However, there is a risk that the collateral securing our loans may decrease in value over time, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate
in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the portfolio company to raise additional capital, and, in some circumstances, our lien could be subordinated to claims of other
creditors. In addition, deterioration in a portfolio companys financial condition and prospects, including its inability to raise additional capital, may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the collateral for the loan.
Consequently, the fact that a loan is secured does not guarantee that we will receive principal and interest payments according to the loans terms, or at all, or that we will be able to collect on the loan should we be forced to enforce our
remedies.

Unitranche Loans. Unitranche loans provide leverage levels comparable to a combination of first lien and second lien or
subordinated loans, and may rank junior to other debt instruments issued by the portfolio company. Unitranche loans generally allow the borrower to make a large lump sum payment of principal at the end of the loan term, and there is a heightened
risk of loss if the borrower is unable to pay the lump sum or refinance the amount owed at maturity. From the perspective of a lender, in addition to making a single loan, a unitranche loan may allow the lender to choose to participate in the
first out tranche, which will generally receive priority with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due, or to choose to participate only in the last out tranche, which is generally paid after the
first out tranche is paid. We participate in first out and last out tranches of unitranche loans and make single unitranche loans.

Second Lien Senior Secured Loans. Our second lien senior secured loans are subordinated to
first lien loans. As such, to the extent we hold second lien senior secured loans, holders of first lien loans may be repaid before us in the event of a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding. This may result in an above average amount of risk
and loss of principal.

In addition, investing in middle market companies involves a number of significant risks, including:



| |  |  | these companies may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their debt securities that we hold, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a
reduction in the likelihood of us realizing on any guarantees we may have obtained in connection with our investment;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | they typically have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors actions and market conditions, as
well as general economic downturns;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | they are more likely to depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of persons; therefore, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these persons could have a material
adverse impact on a portfolio company and, in turn, on us;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | they generally have less predictable operating results, may from time to time be parties to litigation, may be engaged in rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence, and may
require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position. In addition, our executive officers, directors and our Investment Adviser may, in the ordinary course of business, be named
as defendants in litigation arising from our investments in the portfolio companies; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | they may have difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet future capital needs, which may limit their ability to grow or to repay their outstanding indebtedness upon maturity.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the extent we make investments in restructurings and reorganizations they may be subject to greater regulatory and legal risks than other traditional
direct investments in portfolio companies.

We may make investments in restructurings that involve, or otherwise invest in the debt
securities of, companies that are experiencing or are expected to experience severe financial difficulties. These severe financial difficulties may never be overcome and may cause such companies to become subject to bankruptcy proceedings. As such,
these investments could subject us to certain additional potential liabilities that may exceed the value of our original investment therein. For instance, under certain circumstances, payments to us and our distributions to stockholders may be
reclaimed if any such payment or distribution is later determined to have been a fraudulent conveyance, preferential payment or similar transaction under applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws. Furthermore, investments in restructurings may be
adversely affected by statutes relating to, among other things, fraudulent conveyances, voidable preferences, lender liability and the courts discretionary power to disallow, subordinate or disenfranchise particular claims. Under certain
circumstances, a lender that has inappropriately exercised control of the management and policies of a debtor may have its claims subordinated or disallowed, or may be found liable for damages suffered by parties as a result of such actions.

The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business.

We generally make investments in private companies. Substantially all of these investments are subject to legal and other restrictions on
resale or will otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities. The illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell such investments if the need arises. In addition, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of
our portfolio quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have previously recorded our investments. In addition, we may face other restrictions on our ability to liquidate an investment in a portfolio company to the extent
that we have material non-public information regarding such portfolio company.

##### Table of Contents

We have not yet identified all of the portfolio companies we will invest in.

We have not yet identified all of the potential investments for our portfolio that we will acquire with the proceeds of the Private Offering.
Our Investment Adviser selected our initial investments prior to our past drawdowns and will select subsequent investments prior to any subsequent drawdown. Our stockholders will have no input with respect to investment decisions. These factors
increase the uncertainty, and thus the risk, of investing in our common stock.

Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of portfolio
companies and industries, which will subject us to a risk of significant loss if any of these companies defaults on its obligations under any of its debt instruments or if there is a downturn in a particular industry.

Although we do not intend to focus our investments in any specific industries, our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of
portfolio companies and industries. Beyond the asset diversification requirements associated with our qualification as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and under the Revolving Credit Facility and Facility, we do not have fixed guidelines for
diversification, and while we do not target any specific industries, our investments may be concentrated in relatively few industries. As a result, the aggregate returns we will realize may be significantly adversely affected if a small number of
investments perform poorly or if we need to write down the value of one or more investments. Additionally, a downturn in any particular industry in which we are invested could also significantly impact the aggregate returns we realize.

Leveraged companies may enter into bankruptcy proceedings at higher rates than companies that are not leveraged and we invest in debt securities of
these companies.

Leveraged companies, such as those in which we invest, may be more prone to bankruptcy or similar financial
distress. The bankruptcy process has a number of significant inherent risks. Many events in a bankruptcy proceeding are the product of contested matters and adversary proceedings and are beyond the control of the creditors. A bankruptcy filing by an
issuer may adversely and permanently affect the issuer. If the proceeding is converted to a liquidation, the value of the issuer may not equal the liquidation value that was believed to exist at the time of the investment. The duration of a
bankruptcy proceeding is also difficult to predict, and a creditors return on investment can be adversely affected by delays until the plan of reorganization or liquidation ultimately becomes effective. The administrative costs of a bankruptcy
proceeding are frequently high and would be paid out of the debtors estate prior to any return to creditors. Because the standards for classification of claims under bankruptcy law are vague, our influence with respect to the class of
securities or other obligations we own may be lost by increases in the number and amount of claims in the same class or by different classification and treatment. In the early stages of the bankruptcy process, it is often difficult to estimate the
extent of, or even to identify, any contingent claims that might be made. In addition, certain claims that have priority by law (for example, claims for taxes) may be substantial.

In addition, lenders can be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by them where they become too involved in the borrowers
business or exercise control over the borrower. For example, we could become subject to a lender liability claim (alleging that we misused our influence on the borrower for the benefit of its lenders), if, among other things, the borrower requests
significant managerial assistance from us and we provide that assistance.

Declines in the prices of corporate debt securities and illiquidity in
the corporate debt markets may adversely affect the fair value of our portfolio investments, reducing our net asset value through increased net unrealized depreciation.

As a BDC, we are required to account for our investments at market value or, if no market value is ascertainable, at fair value as determined
in good faith by or under the direction of our Board of Directors. Decreases in the market values or fair values of our investments are recorded as unrealized depreciation. Depending on market conditions, we may face similar losses, which could
reduce our net asset value and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because we generally do not hold controlling equity interests in our portfolio companies, we may not be in
a position to exercise control over our portfolio companies or to prevent decisions by management of our portfolio companies that could decrease the value of our investments.

We do not and do not intend to hold controlling equity positions in our portfolio companies. As a result, we are subject to the risk that a
portfolio company may make business decisions with which we disagree, and that the management and/or stockholders of a portfolio company may take risks or otherwise act in ways that are adverse to our interests. Due to the lack of liquidity of the
investments that we typically hold in our portfolio companies, we may not be able to dispose of our investments in the event we disagree with the actions of a portfolio company and may therefore suffer a decrease in the value of our investments. If
any of the foregoing were to occur, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow could suffer as a result.

An investment strategy
focused primarily on privately held companies presents certain challenges, including the lack of available information about these companies, a dependence on the talents and efforts of only a few key portfolio company personnel and a greater
vulnerability to economic downturns.

We invest primarily in privately held companies. Generally, little public information exists
about these companies, and we are required to rely on the ability of our Investment Adviser to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential returns from investing in these companies. The due diligence process that our Investment Adviser
undertakes in connection with our investments may not reveal all the facts that may be relevant in connection with such investment. If our Investment Adviser is unable to uncover all material information about these companies, we may not make a
fully informed investment decision, and we may lose money on our investments. Also, privately held companies frequently have less diverse product lines and smaller market presence than larger competitors. These factors could adversely affect our
investment returns as compared to companies investing primarily in the securities of public companies.

Our portfolio companies may incur debt that
ranks equally with, or senior to, some of our investments in such companies.

We invest primarily in Middle Market Senior Loans
issued by our portfolio companies. To the extent we invest in second lien or other instruments, our portfolio companies typically may be permitted to incur other debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, such debt instruments. By their terms, such
debt instruments may provide that the holders are entitled to receive payment of interest or principal on or before the dates on which we will be entitled to receive payments in respect of the debt securities in which we invest. Also, in the event
of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company, holders of debt instruments ranking senior to our investment in that portfolio company would typically be entitled to receive payment in full before we
receive any distribution in respect of our investment. In such cases, after repaying such senior creditors, such portfolio company may not have sufficient remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to us. In the case of debt ranking equally
with debt securities in which we invest, we would have to share on an equal basis any distributions with other creditors holding such debt in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant
portfolio company.

The rights we may have with respect to the collateral securing the debt investments we make in our portfolio companies
with senior debt outstanding may also be limited pursuant to the terms of one or more intercreditor agreements that we enter into with the holders of senior debt. Under such an intercreditor agreement, at any time that obligations that have the
benefit of the first priority liens are outstanding, any of the following actions that may be taken in respect of the collateral will be at the direction of the holders of the obligations secured by the first priority liens: the ability to cause the
commencement of enforcement proceedings against the collateral; the ability to control the conduct of such proceedings; the approval of amendments to collateral documents; releases of liens on the collateral; and waivers of past defaults under
collateral documents. We may not have the ability to control or direct such actions, even if our rights are adversely affected.

Our investments in foreign securities may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in
U.S. investments.

Our investment strategy contemplates investments in debt securities of foreign companies. Investing in foreign
companies may expose us to additional risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include changes in exchange control regulations, political and social instability, expropriation, imposition of foreign taxes,
less liquid markets and less available information than is generally the case in the United States, higher transaction costs, less government supervision of exchanges, brokers and issuers, less developed bankruptcy laws, difficulty in enforcing
contractual obligations, lack of uniform accounting and auditing standards and greater price volatility. As a result of investing in foreign securities, we may be subject to withholding and other foreign taxes with respect to those securities. We do
not expect to satisfy the conditions necessary to pass through to our stockholders their share of the foreign taxes paid by us. In addition, interest income derived from loans to foreign companies is not eligible to be distributed to our non-U.S.
stockholders free from U.S. withholding tax.

Although most of our investments are expected to be U.S. dollar-denominated, any investments
denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to the risk that the value of a particular currency will change in relation to one or more other currencies. Among the factors that may affect currency values are trade balances, the level of
short-term interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation, and political developments. We may employ hedging techniques to minimize these
risks, but we can offer no assurance that we will, in fact, hedge currency risk, or that if we do, such strategies will be effective.

We may expose
ourselves to risks if we engage in hedging transactions.

If we engage in hedging transactions, we may expose ourselves to risks
associated with such transactions. We may utilize instruments such as forward contracts, credit default swaps, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of our
portfolio positions from changes in currency exchange rates, credit risk premiums, and market interest rates. Hedging against a decline in the values of our portfolio positions does not eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the values of such
positions or prevent losses if the values of such positions decline. However, such hedging can establish other positions designed to gain from those same developments, thereby offsetting the decline in the value of such portfolio positions. Such
hedging transactions may also limit the opportunity for gain if the values of the underlying portfolio positions should increase. It may not be possible to hedge against an exchange rate or interest rate fluctuation at an acceptable price that is
generally anticipated. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we may not seek to establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation may prevent us from achieving the
effect of the intended hedge and expose us to risk of loss. In addition, it may not be possible to hedge fully or perfectly against currency fluctuations affecting the value of securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies because the value of those
securities is likely to fluctuate as a result of factors not related to currency fluctuations. Income derived from hedging transactions is generally not eligible to be distributed to non-U.S. stockholders free from U.S. withholding tax. We may
determine not to hedge against particular risks, including if we determine that available hedging transactions are not available at an appropriate price.

We are dependent upon our Investment Advisers key investment professionals for our future success.

We depend on the diligence, skill and network of business contacts of the CGMSIM Investment Team and the GMS platform to source appropriate
investments for us. We depend on members of the CGMSIM Investment Team to appropriately analyze our investments and the CGMSIM Investment Committee to approve and monitor our middle market portfolio investments. The CGMSIM Investment Committee,
together with the other members of the CGMSIM Investment Team, evaluate, negotiate, structure, close and monitor our investments. Our future success will depend on the continued availability of the members of the CGMSIM Investment Committee and the

other investment professionals available to CGMSIM. Neither we nor CGMSIM has employment agreements with these individuals or other key personnel, and we cannot provide any assurance that
unforeseen business, medical, personal or other circumstances would not lead any such individual to terminate his or her relationship with us. The loss of Messrs. Petrick and Hart, or any of the other senior investment professionals to which CGMSIM
has access, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our investment objective as well as on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our contract with CGMSIM is terminable by either party upon 60
days notice, and we can offer no assurance that CGMSIM will remain our Investment Adviser.

We may face other restrictions on our ability to
liquidate our investment in a portfolio companies.

Management of the Company seeks investment opportunities that offer the
possibility of attaining substantial capital appreciation. Certain events particular to each industry in which the Companys investments conduct their operations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may have a significant
negative impact on the investees operations and profitability. In addition, the Company is subject to changing regulatory and tax environments. Such events are beyond the Companys control, and the likelihood that they may occur and the
effect on the Company cannot be predicted. Furthermore, most of the Companys investments are made in private companies whose shares do not trade on established exchanges. While it is expected that these companies may pursue initial public
offerings, trade sales, or other liquidation events, there are generally no public markets for these securities at the current time. The Companys ability to liquidate its private company investments and realize value is subject to significant
limitations and uncertainties, including currency fluctuations.

The Companys ability to liquidate its publicly traded investments
may be subject to limitations, including discounts that may be required to be taken on quoted prices due to the number of shares being sold.

Risks
Related to an Investment in Our Securities

There is a risk that our stockholders may not receive distributions or that our distributions may not
grow over time.

We cannot provide any assurance that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make a specified
level of cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions.

Our stockholders may be required to pay federal income taxes in excess of the cash dividends they receive.

We may distribute taxable dividends that are payable in cash or shares of our common stock at the election of each stockholder. If too many
stockholders elect to receive cash, each stockholder electing to receive cash would receive a pro rata amount of cash (with the balance of the distribution paid in stock). In no event would any stockholder electing to receive cash receive less than
10% of his or her entire distribution in cash. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of a dividend paid in stock would be equal to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of stock.

Stockholders receiving dividends in shares of our common stock would be required to include the full amount of the dividend (including the
portion payable in stock) as ordinary income (or, in certain circumstances, long-term capital gain) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes. As a result, stockholders may be required to pay
income taxes with respect to such dividends in excess of the cash dividends received. If a U.S. stockholder sells the common stock that it receives as a dividend in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in
income with respect to the dividend, depending on the market price of our common stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. stockholders, we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends, including in

respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in common stock. In addition, if a significant number of our stockholders were to determine to sell shares of our common stock in
order to pay taxes owed on dividends, it may put downward pressure on the trading price (if any) of our common stock. It is unclear whether and to what extent we will be able to pay taxable dividends of the type described in this paragraph.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Market Information

Our outstanding common stock will be offered and sold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act under Section 4(2)
and Regulation D, as well as under Regulation S under the Securities Act. There is no established public trading market for our common stock currently, nor can we give any assurance that one will develop.

Holders

As of March 11, 2016, there
were approximately 31 holders of record of our common stock.

Distribution Policy

To the extent that we have taxable income available, we intend to distribute quarterly dividends to our stockholders. The amount of our
dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. Any dividends to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. We anticipate that our distributions will generally be paid from post-offering
taxable earnings, including interest and capital gains generated by our investment portfolio, and any other income, including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring,
diligence and consulting fees or other fees, that we receive from portfolio companies. However, if we do not generate sufficient taxable earnings during a year, all or part of a distribution may constitute a return of capital. The specific tax
characteristics of our dividends and other distributions will be reported to stockholders after the end of each calendar year.

We have
elected to be treated, and intend to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute at least 90% of our ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of
realized net long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders on an annual basis. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we intend to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (1) 98% of
our ordinary income for the calendar year; (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year; and, (3) any ordinary income and capital gain net
income (both long-term and short-term) for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax. In addition, although we currently intend to distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net
long term capital gains in excess of short term capital losses), if any, at least annually, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment, pay U.S. federal income tax on such amounts at regular corporate tax rates, and
elect to treat such gains as deemed distributions to stockholders. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit the payment of any cash distributions and, to the extent that we issue senior securities, we will be
prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the Investment Company Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

Dividends and distributions, if any, are paid in cash to our stockholders. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will
permit the payment of any cash distributions and, if we issue senior securities, we will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the Investment Company Act or if
distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

respectively, per share increase in net asset value related to the offering price of subscriptions. Excluding the effects of the higher offering price of subscriptions, total return would have been 6.57%, 2.37% and (3.05%), respectively (refer to
Note 7 in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information).

Item 7. Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Managements Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 8 of this
Form 10-K Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those
described in Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K Risk Factors. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

NF Investment Corp. (we, us, our, NFIC or the Company) is a Maryland corporation
formed on November 1, 2012, and structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company. On August 5, 2013, NFIC filed its election to be regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Investment Company Act). NFIC has elected to be treated, and intends to continue to comply with the requirements to qualify
annually, as a regulated investment company (RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the Code).

NFICs investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments in U.S. middle
market companies, which we define as companies with approximately $10 million to $100 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). NFIC seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing
primarily in first lien senior secured loans (which may include



45

##### Table of Contents

stand-alone first lien loans; last out first lien loans, which are loans that have a secondary priority behind first out first lien loans; unitranche loans,
which are loans that combine features of first lien, second lien or subordinated loans, generally in a first lien position; and secured corporate bonds with features similar to the features of these categories of first lien loans) and second lien
senior secured loans (which may include senior secured loans, and, to a lesser extent, secured corporate bonds, with a secondary priority behind first lien loans) (collectively, Middle Market Senior Loans), subject to, in the case of
second lien senior secured loans, a limit of 10% of NFICs total assets. The Middle Market Senior Loans are generally made to private U.S. middle market companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity firms. In addition, NFIC
may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities whose risk profile, as determined at the sole discretion of the Investment Adviser, is similar to or better than the risk profile of Middle Market Senior Loans. We expect that the
composition of our portfolio will change over time given our Investment Advisers view on, among other things, the economic and credit environment (including with respect to interest rates) in which we are operating.

NFIC is externally managed by the Investment Adviser, an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
The Administrator provides the administrative services necessary for NFIC to operate. Both the Investment Adviser and the Administrator are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C., a subsidiary of The Carlyle Group L.P.
Carlyle refers to The Carlyle Group L.P., its affiliates and its consolidated subsidiaries, a global alternative asset manager publicly traded on NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol CG. Refer to the sec.gov website
for further information on Carlyle.

After the earlier of August 6, 2018 or the completion of an initial public offering by Carlyle
GMS Finance, Inc. (Carlyle GMS Finance) (the other BDC managed by the Investment Adviser) that results in an unaffiliated public float of at least 15% of its aggregate capital commitments (a Qualified IPO), the Board of
Directors (subject to any necessary stockholder approvals and applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act) will use its best efforts to wind down and/or liquidate and dissolve the Company. These efforts may include cash tender offers from
time to time as proceeds become available. Refer to sec.gov website for further information on Carlyle GMS Finance.

Investments

Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the
amount of debt available to middle market companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.

Revenue

We
generate revenue primarily in the form of interest and fee income on debt investments we hold and capital gains, if any, on investments. Our debt investments generally have a stated term of five to eight years and generally bear interest at a
floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark such as LIBOR. Interest on these debt securities is generally paid quarterly. 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. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Expenses

Our
primary operating expenses include the payment of: (i) management fees to our Investment Adviser pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the Investment Advisory Agreement) between us and our Investment Adviser; (ii) costs
and other expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by our

The increase in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparable period in 2014
was primarily driven by our deployment of capital and increasing invested balance. As of December 31, 2015, the size of our portfolio increased to $248,159 from $183,390 as of December 31, 2014, at amortized cost, and total principal
amount of investments outstanding increased to $251,128 from $185,190 as of December 31, 2014. The increase in interest income was also due to the increase in the weighted average yield. As of December 31, 2015, the weighted average yield
of our first and second lien debt increased to 6.74% from 6.07% as of December 31, 2014, on amortized cost.

The increase in interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014 from the comparable
period in 2013 was primarily driven by our deployment of capital and increasing invested balance. As of December 31, 2014, the size of our portfolio increased to $183,390 from $59,975 as of December 31, 2013, at amortized cost, and total
principal amount of investments outstanding increased to $185,190 from $60,473 as of December 31, 2013. The increase in interest income was also due to the increase in the weighted average yield. As of December 31, 2014, the weighted
average yield of our first and second lien debt increased to 6.07% from 5.77% as of December 31, 2014, on amortized cost.

Interest
income on our first and second lien debt investments is dependent on the composition and credit quality of the portfolio. Generally, we expect the portfolio to generate predictable quarterly interest income based on the terms stated in each
loans credit agreement. As of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and for the years then ended, all of our first and second lien debt investments were performing and current on their interest payments.

Net investment income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was as follows:

The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the
comparable period in 2014 was driven by increased usage of the credit facilities and increased deployment of capital to investments. Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, $167 and $370, respectively, of the amortization
of deferred financing costs represents the prorated financing costs that were immediately expensed in lieu of continuing to amortize over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility related to the amendments that reduced commitments in the Revolving
Credit Facility. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the average interest rate increased to 1.98% from 1.97% for the comparable period in 2014, and average principal debt outstanding increased to $101,172 from $44,558 for the comparable
period in 2014.

The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the comparable period in 2013 was
driven by increased usage of the credit facilities and increased deployment of capital to investments. Additionally, for the year ended December 31 2014, $370 of the amortization of deferred financing costs represents the prorated financing
costs that were immediately expensed, as noted above. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the average interest rate increased to 1.97% from 1.66% for the period from October 17, 2013 (the initial date on which the Company borrowed under
the Revolving Credit Facility) through December 31, 2013, and average principal debt outstanding increased to $44,558 from $11,775 for the period in 2013.

The increase in management fees for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparable period in 2014 and for the year ended
December 31, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013 was driven by our deployment of capital and increasing invested balance. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more
information on the management fees.

Organization expenses include expenses incurred in the initial formation of the Company. Professional
fees include legal, rating agencies, audit, tax, valuation, technology and other professional fees incurred related to the management of the Company. Administrative service fees represent fees paid to the Administrator for our allocable portion of
overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers and their respective staff. Other general
and administrative expenses include insurance, filing, research, subscriptions and other costs. The increase in other general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 from the comparable period in 2014 and for the year
ended in December 31, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013 was primarily driven by the increased deployment of capital.

Net change in unrealized depreciation in our debt investments for
the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the comparable period in 2014 was primarily due to a widening spread environment during the last six months of the year. Net change in unrealized depreciation in our debt investments for the year
ended December 31, 2014 compared to the comparable period in 2013 was also primarily due to a widening spread environment during the last six months of the year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company generates cash from the net proceeds of offerings of our common stock and through cash flows from operations, including investment
sales and repayments as well as income earned on investments and cash equivalents. We may also fund a portion of our investments through borrowings under the Borrower Subs senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the
Revolving Credit Facility) and/or the Companys senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the, Facility).

The Borrower Sub closed on September 12, 2013 on the Revolving Credit Facility, which was subsequently amended on July 25, 2014 and
further amended on November 13, 2015. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for secured borrowings during the applicable revolving period up to an amount equal to the lesser of $120,000 (the borrowing base as calculated pursuant to the terms
of the Revolving Credit Facility) and the amount of net cash proceeds and unpledged capital commitments the Company has received, with an accordion feature that can, subject to certain conditions, increase the aggregate maximum credit commitment up
to an amount not to exceed $262,500, subject to restrictions imposed on borrowings under the Investment Company Act and certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility, including adequate collateral to support such
borrowings. The Revolving Credit Facility imposes financial and operating covenants on us and the Borrower Sub that restrict our and its business activities. Continued compliance with these covenants will depend on many factors, some of which are
beyond our control.

The Company closed on March 27, 2014 on the Facility, which was subsequently amended on August 22, 2014 and
on December 12, 2014. The maximum principal amount of the Facility is $50,000, subject to availability under the Facility, which is based on certain advance rates multiplied by the value of the Companys portfolio investments net of
certain other indebtedness that the Company may incur in accordance with the terms of the Facility. Proceeds of the Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of portfolio investments. Maximum capacity under the
Facility may be increased to $125,000 through the exercise by the Company of an uncommitted accordion feature through which existing and new lenders may, at their option, agree to provide additional financing. The Facility includes a $10,000 limit
for swingline loans and a $5,000 limit for letters of credit. Subject to certain exceptions, the Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by the Company and the Companys
unfunded investor equity capital commitments (provided that the amount of unfunded capital commitments ultimately

available to the lenders is limited to $34,000). The pledge of unfunded investor equity capital commitments was subject to release upon the earlier of (a) the date eligible investments held
by the Company are equal to or greater than $62,500 and the Facilitys borrowing base equity test is satisfied and (b) the date the borrower has received equity capital contributions in an amount equal to $34,000. Such eligible investments
and shareholder equity thresholds had been satisfied as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Facility includes customary covenants, including certain financial covenants related to asset coverage, shareholders equity, liquidity and interest
coverage, certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, and other maintenance covenants, as well as usual and customary events of default for senior secured revolving credit facilities of this nature.

Although we believe that we and the Borrower Sub will remain in compliance, there are no assurances that we or the Borrower Sub will continue
to comply with the covenants in the Facility and Revolving Credit Facility, as applicable. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default under the Facility and/or Revolving Credit Facility that, if we or the Borrower Sub were
unable to obtain a waiver from the applicable lenders, could result in the immediate acceleration of the amounts due under the Facility and/or Revolving Credit Facility, and thereby have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

For more information on the Revolving Credit Facility and Facility, see Note 5 to the consolidated financial
statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

events could occur that lead to the execution of these provisions against the Company. The Company believes that the likelihood of such an event is remote; however, the maximum potential exposure is unknown. No accrual has been made in these

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Our critical accounting
policies, including those relating to the valuation of our investment portfolio, are described below. The critical accounting policies should be read in connection with our Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K.

Fair Value Measurements

The
Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with the terms of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement(ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be exchanged to sell
an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transfer between market participants at the measurement date. The Company values securities/instruments traded in active markets on the measurement date by multiplying the closing price of such traded
securities/instruments by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held. The Company may also obtain quotes with respect to certain of its investments, such as its securities/instruments traded in active markets and its liquid
securities/instruments that are not traded in active markets, from pricing services, brokers, or counterparties (i.e. consensus pricing). When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to
US GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. The Company may use the quote obtained or alternative pricing sources may be utilized including valuation techniques typically utilized for illiquid securities/instruments.

##### Table of Contents

Securities/instruments that are illiquid or for which the pricing source does not provide a
valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser or the Board of Directors, does not represent fair value shall each be valued as of the measurement date using all techniques appropriate
under the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available. These valuation techniques may vary by investment and include comparable public market valuations, comparable precedent transaction valuations and/or discounted cash flow analyses.
The process generally used to determine the applicable value is as follows: (i) the value of each portfolio company or investment is initially reviewed by the investment professionals responsible for such portfolio company or investment and,
for non-traded investments, a standardized template designed to approximate fair market value based on observable market inputs, updated credit statistics and unobservable inputs is used to determine a preliminary value, which is also reviewed
alongside consensus pricing, where available; (ii) preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and reviewed by a valuation committee comprised of members of senior management; (iii) the Board of Directors engages a third-party
valuation firm to provide positive assurance on portions of the Middle Market Senior Loans portfolio each quarter (such that each non-traded investment is reviewed by a third-party valuation firm at least once on a rolling twelve month basis)
including a review of managements preliminary valuation and conclusion on fair value; (iv) the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) reviews the assessments of the Investment Adviser and the
third-party valuation firm and provides the Board of Directors with any recommendations with respect to changes to the fair value of each investment in the portfolio; and (v) the Board of Directors discusses the valuation recommendations of the
Audit Committee and determines the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser and, where applicable, the third-party valuation firm.

All factors that might materially impact the value of an investment are considered, including, but not limited to the assessment of the
following factors, as relevant:



| |  |  | the nature and realizable value of any collateral;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | call features, put features and other relevant terms of debt;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the portfolio companys leverage and ability to make payments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the portfolio companys public or private credit rating;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the portfolio companys actual and expected earnings and discounted cash flow;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prevailing interest rates and spreads for similar securities and expected volatility in future interest rates;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the markets in which the portfolio company does business and recent economic and/or market events; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | comparisons to comparable transactions and publicly traded securities.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment performance
data utilized are the most recently available financial statements and compliance certificate received from the portfolio companies as of the measurement date which in many cases may reflect a lag in information.

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. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the
investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.

In addition, changes in the market environment
and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the realized gains or losses on investments to be different from the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation currently reflected in the consolidated financial
statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

##### Table of Contents

US GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which ranks the level of
observability of market price inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment and state of the
marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets generally have a higher
degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

Investments measured and reported
at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in determination of fair values, as follows:



| |  |  | Level Iinputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments included in Level I include
unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact
the quoted price.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level IIinputs to the valuation methodology are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date and are those other than quoted prices in active markets. The type of financial instruments in this
category includes less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets, government and agency securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable
inputs.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level IIIinputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or
estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include investments in privately-held entities, collateralized loan obligations, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such
cases, an investments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Investment Adviser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 investment.

Transfers between levels,
if any, are recognized at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfers occur.

The Company generally uses the following framework
when determining the fair value of investments that are categorized as Level III:

Investments in debt securities are initially evaluated
to determine whether the enterprise value of the portfolio company is greater than the applicable debt. The enterprise value of the portfolio company is estimated using a market approach and an income approach. The market approach utilizes market
value (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The Company carefully considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used
to value its portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. The income approach
typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis of the portfolio company.

Investments in debt securities that do not have sufficient
coverage through the enterprise value analysis are valued based on an expected probability of default and discount recovery analysis.



57



---

##### Table of Contents

Investments in debt securities with sufficient coverage through the enterprise value analysis are
generally valued using a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying security. Projected cash flows in the discounted cash flow typically represent the relevant securitys contractual interest, fees and principal payments plus the
assumption of full principal recovery at the investments expected maturity date. The discount rate to be used is determined using an average of two market-based methodologies. Investments in debt securities may also be valued using consensus
pricing.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys investments in first and second
lien debt securities are discount rates and indicative quotes. Significant increases in discount rates would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Significant decreases in indicative quotes in isolation may result in a
significantly lower fair value measurement.

The carrying value of the secured borrowings approximates its fair value and is categorized
as Level III within the hierarchy. Secured borrowings are valued generally using discounted cash flow analysis. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys secured borrowings are discount rates.
Significant increases in discount rates would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

The carrying value of other
financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value based on the short term nature of these items.

See Note 3 to the
consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information on fair value measurements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K in conformity with US GAAP
requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Managements estimates are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. It also requires management to
exercise judgment in the process of applying the Companys accounting policies. Assumptions and estimates regarding the valuation of investments and their resulting impact on management fees involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity
and these assumptions and estimates may be significant to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material.

Investments

Investment
transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without
regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments as presented in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K reflects the net change in the fair value of investments, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

Revenue Recognition

Interest from
Investments and Realized Gain/Loss on Investments

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of
discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of



58



---

##### Table of Contents

investments represents the original cost, including origination fees, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. At time of exit, the realized gain or loss on
an investment is the difference between the amortized cost at time of exit and the cash received at exit using the specific identification method.

The Company may have loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (PIK) provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued
and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity.

Other Income

Other income may include
income such as consent, waiver and amendment fees associated with the Companys investment activities as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by the Company to portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when
earned or the services are rendered. The Company may receive fees for guaranteeing the outstanding debt of a portfolio company. Such fees will be amortized into other income over the life of the guarantee. The unamortized amount, if any, is included
in other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Non-Accrual Income

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable
doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a 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 regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid current and, in managements judgment, are likely to remain current.
Management may not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Income Taxes

For federal income tax purposes, NFIC has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code, and intends to make the required
distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to qualify as a RIC, NFIC must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then NFIC is generally required
to pay income taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and gains it does not distribute.

The minimum distribution requirements
applicable to RICs require NFIC to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (ICTI), as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, NFIC may choose to
carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year
which generated such ICTI.

In addition, based on the excise distribution requirements, NFIC is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal
excise tax on undistributed income unless NFIC distributes in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and
short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in the preceding year. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by NFIC
that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. NFIC intends to make sufficient distributions each taxable year to satisfy the excise distribution requirements.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to
determine whether the tax positions are more-likely than not to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes, if any, are included in income tax expense.

Capital Calls and Dividends and Distributions to Common Stockholders

The Company records the shares issued in connection with capital calls as of the effective date of the capital call. To the extent that the
Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make quarterly distributions to its common stockholders. Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date and paid in cash. The amount to be distributed
is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon the taxable earnings estimated by management and available cash. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although the Company
may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Investment Advisory Agreement

On
July 10, 2013, the Companys Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not interested persons as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act (Independent Directors),
approved the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Investment Adviser in accordance with, and on the basis of an evaluation satisfactory to such directors as required by, Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act. The
initial term of the Investment Advisory Agreement is two years from July 10, 2013 and, unless terminated earlier, the Investment Advisory Agreement will renew automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by the vote of the Board of Directors and by the vote of a majority of the Independent Directors. On March 10, 2016, the Companys Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent
Directors, approved the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for a one year period. The Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of an assignment and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon at least 60
days written notice to the other party. Subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Directors, the Investment Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser receives
management fees from the Company.

The management fees are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 0.25% of the
average value of the gross assets of the Company at the end of the two most recently completed fiscal quarters, excluding any cash and cash equivalents and including assets acquired with leverage from use of the Revolving Credit Facility and
Facility (see Note 5, Borrowings in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). For purposes of this calculation, cash and cash equivalents include any temporary investments in cash-equivalents, U.S. government securities and other
high quality investment grade debt investments that mature in 12 months or less from the date of investment. The management fee for any partial quarter is prorated. As such, management fees for the year ended December 31, 2013 were calculated
commencing after August 7, 2013, the date the Company first called capital from investors.

Our Investment Adviser has not assumed
any responsibility to us other than to render the services described in the Investment Advisory Agreement, and it is not responsible for any action of our Board in declining to follow our Investment Advisers advice or recommendations. Pursuant
to the Investment Advisory Agreement, our Investment Adviser and its managers, officers, employees, agents, controlling persons and any other person or entity affiliated with it are not liable to us for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Adviser in connection with the performance of any of its duties or obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company (except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the Investment
Company Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty (as the same is finally determined by judicial proceedings) with respect to the receipt of compensation for services). We have agreed to the fullest extent permitted by law, to
provide indemnification and the right to the advancement of expenses, to each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any actual or threatened action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,

administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he/she is or was a member, manager, officer, employee, agent, controlling person or any other person or entity affiliated with the
Adviser with respect to all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses resulting from acts of our Investment Adviser in the performance of their duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement, other than acts not in good faith with the reasonable
belief that the conduct was in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company, and conduct constituting gross negligence, bad faith, reckless disregard, or willful misfeasance. These protections may lead our Investment Adviser to act in a
riskier manner when acting on our behalf than it would when acting for its own account.

On July 10, 2013, the Investment Adviser
entered into a personnel agreement with Carlyle Employee Co., pursuant to which Carlyle Employee Co. provides the Investment Adviser with access to investment professionals.

Administration Agreement

On
July 10, 2013, the Companys Board of Directors approved the Administration Agreement between the Company and the Administrator. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides services and receives reimbursements
equal to an amount that reimburses the Administrator for its costs and expenses and the Companys allocable portion of overhead incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including the
Companys allocable portion of the compensation paid to or compensatory distributions received by the Companys officers (including the Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer) and respective staff who provide services to the
Company, operations staff who provide services to the Company, and any internal audit staff, to the extent internal audit performs a role in the Companys Sarbanes-Oxley Act internal control assessment. Reimbursement under the Administration
Agreement occurs quarterly in arrears.

The initial term of the Administration Agreement is two years from July 10, 2013 and, unless
terminated earlier, the Administration Agreement will renew automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of the Board of Directors or by a majority vote
of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Companys Independent Directors. On March 10, 2016, the Companys Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors,
approved the continuance of the Administration Agreement for a one year period. The Administration Agreement may not be assigned by a party without the consent of the other party and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon at least 60
days written notice to the other party.

Sub-Administration Agreements

On July 10, 2013, the Administrator entered into sub-administration agreements with Carlyle Employee Co., and CELF Advisors LLP. Pursuant
to the agreements, Carlyle Employee Co. and CELF Advisors LLP provide the Administrator with access to personnel.

On July 10, 2013,
the Administrator entered into a sub-administration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (as amended, the Sub-Administration Agreement). On March 11, 2015, the Companys Board of Directors, including a majority of
the Independent Directors, approved an amendment to the Sub-Administration Agreement. The initial term of the Sub-Administration Agreement ends on April 1, 2017 and, unless terminated earlier, the Sub-Administration Agreement will renew
automatically for successive annual periods, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of the Board of Directors or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company
and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Companys Independent Directors. The Sub-Administration Agreement may be terminated upon at least 60 days written notice and without penalty by the vote of a majority of the outstanding
securities of the Company, or by the vote of the Board of Directors or by either party to the Sub-Administration Agreement.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in the valuations of our investment portfolio and interest rates.

Valuation Risk

Our investments
may not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good
faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. 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. Because of the inherent uncertainty of
valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is possible that the difference could be material.

Interest Rate Risk

During the
years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, a majority of the investments held in the Companys portfolio had floating interest rates. Interest rates on the investments held within the Companys portfolio of investments are typically
based on floating LIBOR, with many of these investments also having a LIBOR floor. Additionally, the Companys credit facilities are also subject to floating interest rates and are currently paid based on floating LIBOR rates.

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. There can be no
assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our income in the future.

The
following table estimates the potential changes in net cash flow generated from interest income, should interest rates increase or decrease by 100, 200 or 300 basis points. Interest income is calculated as revenue from interest generated from the
Companys settled portfolio of investments held as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. These hypothetical calculations are based on a model of the settled investments in our portfolio, held as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and are only
adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates and the impact of that change on interest income. Interest expense is calculated based on outstanding secured borrowings as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and based on the terms
of the Companys credit facilities. Interest expense on the Companys credit facilities is calculated using the interest rate as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, adjusted for the hypothetical changes in rates, as shown below. We intend
to continue to finance a portion of our investments with borrowings and the interest rates paid on our borrowings may impact significantly our net interest income.

##### Table of Contents

The Company regularly measures exposure to interest rate risk. The Company assesses interest rate
risk and manages interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to
mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

Based on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31,
2015 and 2014, the following table shows the annual impact on net investment income of base rate changes in interest rates for our settled investments (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) and outstanding secured
borrowings assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

NF Investment Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities of NF Investment Corp. (the Company), including the
consolidated schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in net assets for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and debt
agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of NF Investment Corp. at December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the consolidated results of its operations, its cash flows, and the changes in its net assets for the years ended
December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

|(1) | Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt investments held by NF Investment Corp. (NFIC or the Company) are domiciled in the United States. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Investment Company Act), the Company would be deemed to control a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting
securities and/or held the power to exercise control over the management or policies of the portfolio company. As of December 31, 2015, the Company does not control any of these portfolio companies. Under the Investment Company Act,
the Company would be deemed an affiliated person of a portfolio company if the Company owns 5% or more of the portfolio companys outstanding voting securities. As of December 31, 2015, the Company is not an affiliated
person of any of these portfolio companies.

|(2) | Variable rate loans to the portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR or an alternate base rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), which
generally resets quarterly. For each such loan, the Company has provided the interest rate in effect as of December 31, 2015.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Loan includes interest rate floor feature.
|--- | ------------------------------------------

|(4) | Denotes that all or a portion of the assets are owned by the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, NFIC SPV LLC (the Borrower Sub). The Borrower Sub has entered into a senior secured revolving credit
facility (as amended, the Revolving Credit Facility). The lenders of the Revolving Credit Facility have a first lien security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Borrower Sub (see Note 5, Borrowings). Accordingly, such
assets are not available to creditors of the Company.

|(5) | Denotes that all or a portion of the assets are owned by the Company. The Company has entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the Facility). The lender of the Facility has a
first lien security interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by the Company (see Note 5, Borrowings). Accordingly, such assets are not available to creditors of the Borrower Sub.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(6) | Amortized cost represents original cost, including origination fees, adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts/premiums, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(7) | Fair value is determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company (see Notes 2 and 3), pursuant to the Companys valuation policies.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(8) | The Company has determined the indicated investments are non-qualifying assets under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company
Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying assets unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Companys total assets.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(9) | In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this loan, which is the amount reflected in this schedule, the Company is entitled to receive additional interest as a result of an agreement among

NF INVESTMENT CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of
December 31, 2015

(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)

1. ORGANIZATION

NF Investment Corp.
(NFIC or the Company) is a Maryland corporation formed on November 1, 2012, and structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company. On August 5, 2013, NFIC filed its election to be
regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Investment Company Act). NFIC has elected to be
treated, and intends to continue to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).

NFICs investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments in U.S. middle
market companies, which the Company defines as companies with approximately $10 million to $100 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). NFIC seeks to achieve its investment objective by
investing primarily in first lien senior secured loans (which may include stand-alone first lien loans; last out first lien loans, which are loans that have a secondary priority behind first out first lien loans;
unitranche loans, which are loans that combine features of first lien, second lien or subordinated loans, generally in a first lien position; and secured corporate bonds with features similar to the features of these categories of first
lien loans) and second lien senior secured loans (which may include senior secured loans, and, to a lesser extent, secured corporate bonds, with a secondary priority behind first lien loans) (collectively, Middle Market Senior Loans),
subject to, in the case of second lien senior secured loans, a limit of 10% of NFICs total assets. The Middle Market Senior Loans are generally made to private U.S. middle market companies that are, in many cases, controlled by private equity
firms. In addition, NFIC may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities whose risk profile, as determined at the sole discretion of Carlyle GMS Investment Management L.L.C. (the Investment Adviser), is similar to or
better than the risk profile of Middle Market Senior Loans. NFIC expects that the composition of its portfolio will change over time given the Investment Advisers view on, among other things, the economic and credit environment (including with
respect to interest rates) in which the Company is operating.

On August 6, 2013, NFIC completed its initial closing of capital
commitments (the Initial Closing) and subsequently commenced substantial investment operations. Prior to August 6, 2013, NFIC had not commenced operations and was a development stage company as defined by Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 915, Development Stage Entity. During this time, NFIC focused substantially all of its efforts on establishing its business.

NFIC is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. NFIC expects to remain an
emerging growth company because it does not intend to pursue an initial public offering.

NFIC SPV LLC (the Borrower Sub) is a
Delaware limited liability company that was formed on June 18, 2013. The Borrower Sub invests in first and second lien senior secured loans. The Borrower Sub is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is consolidated in these consolidated
financial statements commencing from the date of its formation, June 18, 2013.

NFIC is externally managed by the Investment Adviser,
an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Carlyle GMS Finance Administration L.L.C. (the Administrator) provides the administrative services necessary for NFIC to operate. Both the Investment
Adviser and the Administrator are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Carlyle Investment Management L.L.C., a

##### Table of Contents

subsidiary of The Carlyle Group L.P. Carlyle refers to The Carlyle Group L.P., its affiliates and its consolidated subsidiaries, a global alternative asset manager publicly traded on
NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol CG. Refer to the sec.gov website for further information on Carlyle.

Upon the
earlier of August 6, 2018 and the completion of an initial public offering by Carlyle GMS Finance, Inc. (Carlyle GMS Finance) (the other BDC managed by the Investment Adviser) that results in an unaffiliated public float of at least
15% of its aggregate capital commitments (a Qualified IPO), the Board of Directors (subject to any necessary stockholder approvals and applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act) will use its best efforts to wind down and/or
liquidate and dissolve the Company. These efforts may include cash tender offers from time to time as proceeds become available. Refer to sec.gov website for further information on Carlyle GMS Finance.

As a BDC, NFIC is required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. As part of these requirements, the Company must not acquire any
assets other than qualifying assets specified in the Investment Company Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).

NFIC has elected to be treated, and intends to continue to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code, and
operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, NFIC must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders
generally at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Pursuant to this election, NFIC generally does not have to pay corporate level taxes on any income that it distributes to stockholders, provided
that NFIC satisfies those requirements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). The Company is an investment company for the purposes of
accounting and financial reporting in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-08, Financial ServicesInvestment Companies (ASU 2013-08): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure
Requirements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NFIC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Borrower Sub. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. US GAAP for an investment
company requires investments to be recorded at fair value. The carrying value for all other assets and liabilities approximates their fair value.

The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for annual financial information and pursuant to the
requirements for reporting on Form 10-K and Article 6 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of consolidated financial statements for the years presented have been included.

Use of Estimates

The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Managements estimates are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that
management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Companys accounting policies. Assumptions and estimates regarding the valuation of investments and
their resulting impact



80



---

##### Table of Contents

on management fees involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity and these assumptions and estimates may be significant to the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ
from these estimates and such differences could be material.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from
the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments charged off during the period,
net of recoveries. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments as presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations reflects the net change in the fair value of investments, including the reversal of
previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized. See Note 3 for further information about fair value measurements.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash
and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments (e.g. money market funds, U.S. treasury notes) with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair
value. The Companys cash and cash equivalents are held with two large financial institutions and cash held in such financial institutions may, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Revenue Recognition

Interest from Investments
and Realized Gain/Loss on Investments

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and
amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt
investments represents the original cost, including origination fees, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. At time of exit, the realized gain or loss on an investment is the difference between the amortized
cost at time of exit and the cash received at exit using the specific identification method.

The Company may have loans in its portfolio
that contain payment-in-kind (PIK) provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at
maturity. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the years then ended, no loans in the portfolio contained PIK provisions.

Other Income

Other income may include income such as consent, waiver and amendment fees associated with the Companys investment activities as
well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by the Company to portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered. The Company may receive fees for guaranteeing the outstanding debt of a
portfolio company. Such fees will be amortized into other income over the life of the guarantee. The unamortized amount, if any, is included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Non-Accrual Income

Loans are generally
placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid



81



---

##### Table of Contents

interest is generally reversed when a 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 regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid current and, in managements judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may not place a
loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the years then ended, no loans in the portfolio were on non-accrual status.

Revolving Credit Facility and Facility, Related Costs, Expenses and Deferred Financing Costs (See Note 5, Borrowings)

Interest expense and unused commitment fees on the Revolving Credit Facility and Facility are recorded on an accrual basis. Unused commitment
fees are included in credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Revolving Credit Facility and
Facility are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value.

Deferred financing costs include capitalized expenses related to
the closing of the Revolving Credit Facility and Facility. Amortization of deferred financing costs for each credit facility is computed on the straight-line basis over the respective term of each credit facility, except for a portion that was
accelerated in connection with the amendment of the Revolving Credit Facility as described in Note 5. The amortization of such costs is included in credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Organization and Offering Costs

The Company agreed to reimburse the Investment Adviser for initial organization and offering costs incurred on behalf of NFIC up to $750. As of
December 31, 2015 and 2014, $663 of organization and offering costs had been incurred by NFIC since inception. The $663 of incurred organization and offering costs are allocated to all stockholders based on their respective capital commitment
and are re-allocated amongst all stockholders at the time of each capital drawdown subsequent to the Initial Closing. The Companys organization costs incurred are expensed and the offering costs are charged against equity when incurred.

Income Taxes

For federal income
tax purposes, NFIC has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code, and intends to make the required distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to qualify as a RIC, NFIC must meet certain minimum distribution,
source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then NFIC is generally required to pay income taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and gains it does not distribute.

The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require NFIC to distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company
taxable income (ICTI), as defined by the Code, each year. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, NFIC may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year. Any such carryover ICTI
must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.

In addition, based on the excise distribution requirements, NFIC is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income
unless NFIC distributes in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending
October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in the preceding year. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by NFIC that is subject to corporate income tax is
considered to have been distributed. NFIC intends to make sufficient distributions each taxable year to satisfy the excise distribution requirements.



82

##### Table of Contents

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its
consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely than not to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes, if any, are included in income
tax expense.

The Borrower Sub is a disregarded entity for tax purposes and is consolidated with the tax return of NFIC.

Capital Calls and Dividends and Distributions to Common Stockholders

The Company records the shares issued in connection with capital calls as of the effective date of the capital call. To the extent that the
Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make quarterly distributions to its common stockholders. Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date and paid in cash. The amount to be distributed
is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon the taxable earnings estimated by management and available cash. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually, although the Company
may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

Functional Currency

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar and all transactions were in U.S. Dollars.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates

On April 7, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2015-3, InterestImputation of Interest (Subtopic
835-30)Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-3). ASU 2015-3 requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the
carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and premiums. This guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and the ASU requires the guidance to be applied on a retrospective basis. This guidance is not
expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In August 2015, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2015-15, InterestImputation of Interest (Sub-topic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (ASU 2015-15). ASU
2015-03 does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. In accordance with ASU 2015-15, an entity may defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize
the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This guidance is effective for the Company on January 1,
2016 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with the terms of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 820, Fair
Value Measurement(ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transfer between market participants at the measurement date. The Company values
securities/instruments traded in active markets on the measurement date by multiplying the closing price of such traded securities/instruments by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held. The Company may also obtain quotes with
respect to certain of its investments, such as its securities/instruments traded in active markets and its liquid securities/instruments that are not traded in active markets, from pricing services, brokers, or counterparties (i.e., consensus
pricing). When doing so, the Company determines whether the quote obtained is sufficient according to US GAAP to determine the fair value of the security. The Company may use the quote obtained or alternative pricing sources may be
utilized including valuation techniques typically utilized for illiquid securities/instruments.



83



---

##### Table of Contents

Securities/instruments that are illiquid or for which the pricing source does not provide a
valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser or NFICs Board of Directors, does not represent fair value shall each be valued as of the measurement date using all techniques
appropriate under the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available. These valuation techniques may vary by investment and include comparable public market valuations, comparable precedent transaction valuations and/or discounted cash
flow analyses. The process generally used to determine the applicable value is as follows: (i) the value of each portfolio company or investment is initially reviewed by the investment professionals responsible for such portfolio company or
investment and, for non-traded investments, a standardized template designed to approximate fair market value based on observable market inputs, updated credit statistics and unobservable inputs is used to determine a preliminary value, which is
also reviewed alongside consensus pricing, where available; (ii) preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and reviewed by a valuation committee comprised of members of senior management; (iii) the Board of Directors engages a
third-party valuation firm to provide positive assurance on portions of the Middle Market Senior Loans portfolio each quarter (such that each non-traded investment is reviewed by a third-party valuation firm at least once on a rolling twelve month
basis) including a review of managements preliminary valuation and conclusion on fair value; (iv) the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) reviews the assessments of the Investment Adviser and the
third-party valuation firm and provides the Board of Directors with any recommendations with respect to changes to the fair value of each investment in the portfolio; and (v) the Board of Directors discusses the valuation recommendations of the
Audit Committee and determines the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser and, where applicable, the third-party valuation firm.

All factors that might materially impact the value of an investment are considered, including, but not limited to the assessment of the
following factors, as relevant:



| |  |  | the nature and realizable value of any collateral;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | call features, put features and other relevant terms of debt;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the portfolio companys leverage and ability to make payments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the portfolio companys public or private credit rating;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the portfolio companys actual and expected earnings and discounted cash flow;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prevailing interest rates and spreads for similar securities and expected volatility in future interest rates;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the markets in which the portfolio company does business and recent economic and/or market events; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | comparisons to comparable transactions and publicly traded securities.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment performance
data utilized are the most recently available financial statements and compliance certificate received from the portfolio companies as of the measurement date which in many cases may reflect a lag in information.

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. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the
investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.

In addition, changes in the market environment
and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the realized gains or losses on investments to be different from the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation currently reflected in the consolidated financial
statements as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

##### Table of Contents

US GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which ranks the level of
observability of market price inputs used in measuring investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment and state of the
marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets generally have a higher
degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value.

Investments measured and reported
at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in determination of fair values, as follows:



| |  |  | Level Iinputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments in Level I generally include
unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact
the quoted price.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level IIinputs to the valuation methodology are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date and are those other than quoted prices in active markets. The type of financial instruments in this
category generally includes less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets, government and agency securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on
observable inputs.

| |  |  | Level IIIinputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or
estimation. Financial instruments that are in this category generally include investments in privately-held entities, collateralized loan obligations, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such
cases, an investments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Investment Adviser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 investment.

Transfers between levels,
if any, are recognized at the beginning of the year in which the transfers occur. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no transfers between levels.

The following tables summarize the Companys investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the above fair value hierarchy
levels as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

The Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments that are
categorized as Level III:

Investments in debt securities are initially evaluated to determine whether the enterprise value of the
portfolio company is greater than the applicable debt. The enterprise value of the portfolio company is estimated using a market approach and an income approach. The market approach utilizes market value (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded
comparable companies and available precedent sales transactions of comparable companies. The Company carefully considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used to value its portfolio companies. These
factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. The income approach typically uses a discounted cash flow
analysis of the portfolio company.

##### Table of Contents

Investments in debt securities that do not have sufficient coverage through the enterprise value
analysis are valued based on an expected probability of default and discount recovery analysis.

Investments in debt securities with
sufficient coverage through the enterprise value analysis are generally valued using a discounted cash flow analysis of the underlying security. Projected cash flows in the discounted cash flow typically represent the relevant securitys
contractual interest, fees and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the securitys expected maturity date. The discount rate to be used is determined using an average of two market-based methodologies.
Investments in debt securities may also be valued using consensus pricing.

The following tables summarize the quantitative information
related to the significant unobservable inputs for Level III instruments which are carried at fair value as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys investments in
first and second lien debt securities are discount rates and indicative quotes. Significant increases in discount rates would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Significant decreases in indicative quotes in isolation may result
in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

within the hierarchy. Secured borrowings are valued generally using discounted cash flow analysis. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys secured borrowings are discount rates. Significant
increases in discount rates would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

The carrying value of other financial assets
and liabilities approximates their fair value based on the short term nature of these items.

(e) modified certain other restrictions and requirements set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility. The other material terms of the Revolving Credit Facility were unchanged. Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility first became available
once the Borrower Sub held at least $10,500 of minimum equity in its assets. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for secured borrowings during the applicable revolving period up to an amount equal to the lesser of $120,000, the borrowing base as
calculated pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, and the amount of net cash proceeds and unpledged capital commitments the Company has received with an accordion feature that can, subject to certain conditions, increase the
aggregate maximum credit commitment up to an amount not to exceed $262,500, subject to restrictions imposed on borrowings under the Investment Company Act and certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility, including
adequate collateral to support such borrowings. The Revolving Credit Facility has a revolving period through the earlier of May 2, 2018 and the completion of a

Qualified IPO by Carlyle GMS Finance (with two one-year extension options, subject to the Borrower Subs and the lenders consent) and a maturity date of the earlier of May 2, 2021
or the completion of a Qualified IPO by Carlyle GMS Finance (extendable in connection with an extension of the revolving period). Base rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest initially at the applicable commercial paper
rate (if the lender is a conduit lender) or LIBOR (or, if applicable, a rate based on the prime rate or federal funds rate) plus 1.65% per year during the revolving period, with pre-determined future interest rate increases of 1.25%-2.15% over
the three years following the end of the revolving period. The Borrower Sub is also required to pay an undrawn commitment fee of between 0.25% and 1.00% per year depending on the usage of the Revolving Credit Facility. Payments under the
Revolving Credit Facility are made quarterly. The lenders have a first lien security interest on substantially all of the assets of the Borrower Sub.

As part of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Borrower Sub is subject to limitations as to how borrowed funds may be used and the types of
loans that are eligible to be acquired by the Borrower Sub including, but not limited to, restrictions on sector and geographic concentrations, loan size, payment frequency, tenor and minimum investment ratings (or estimated ratings). In addition,
borrowed funds are intended to be used primarily to purchase first lien loan assets, and the Borrower Sub is limited in its ability to purchase certain other assets (including, but not limited to, second lien loans, covenant-lite loans, revolving
and delayed draw loans and discount loans) and other assets are not permitted to be purchased (including, but not limited to paid-in-kind loans). The Revolving Credit Facility has certain requirements relating to interest coverage, collateral
quality and portfolio performance, including limitations on delinquencies and charge offs, certain violations of which could result in the immediate acceleration of the amounts due under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility
is also subject to a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to assets held by the Borrower Sub based generally on the fair market value of such assets. Under certain circumstances as set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility, the
Company could be obliged to repurchase loans from the Borrower Sub.

Related to the First and Second Amendments, which reduced the maximum
commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, $370 and $167, respectively, of deferred financing costs (representing the prorated financing costs related to the reduction in commitments) were immediately expensed on July 25, 2014 and
November 13, 2015, respectively, in lieu of continuing to amortize over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of
December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Borrower Sub was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Facility

The Company closed on
March 27, 2014 on the Facility, which was subsequently amended on August 22, 2014 and on December 12, 2014. The maximum principal amount of the Facility is $50,000, subject to availability under the Facility, which is based on certain
advance rates multiplied by the value of the Companys portfolio investments net of certain other indebtedness that the Company may incur in accordance with the terms of the Facility. Proceeds of the Facility may be used for general corporate
purposes, including the funding of portfolio investments. Maximum capacity under the Facility may be increased to $125,000 through the exercise by the Company of an uncommitted accordion feature through which existing and new lenders may, at their
option, agree to provide additional financing. The Facility includes a $10,000 limit for swingline loans and a $5,000 limit for letters of credit. The Company may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
including certain collateral quality tests. The availability period under the Facility will terminate on March 27, 2017 or earlier under certain conditions specified in the Facility (the Commitment Termination Date) and the Facility
will mature on March 27, 2020 (the Maturity Date). During the period from the Commitment Termination Date to the Maturity Date, the Company will be obligated to make mandatory prepayments under the Facility out of the proceeds of
certain asset sales, other recovery events and equity and debt issuances. Amounts drawn under the Facility, including amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit, will bear interest at either (a) LIBOR plus an applicable spread of
(i) prior to the Commitment Termination Date,

2.00% and (ii) following the Commitment Termination Date, 2.50%, or (b) an alternative base rate (which is the highest of a prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus
0.50%, or one month LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus an applicable spread of (i) prior to the Commitment Termination Date, 1.00% and (ii) following the Commitment Termination Date, 1.50%. The Company may elect either the LIBOR or the
alternative base rate at the time of drawdown, and loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time, subject to certain conditions. The Company also pays a fee of 0.375% on undrawn amounts under the Facility and, in respect of
each undrawn letter of credit, a fee and interest rate equal to the then-applicable margin under the Facility while the letter of credit is outstanding.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Facility is secured by a first lien security interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments
held by the Company and the Companys unfunded investor equity capital commitments (provided that the amount of unfunded capital commitments ultimately available to the lenders is limited to $34,000). The pledge of unfunded investor equity
capital commitments was subject to release upon the earlier of (a) the date eligible investments held by the Company are equal to or greater than 30 $62,500 and the Facilitys borrowing base equity test is satisfied and (b) the date
the borrower has received equity capital contributions in an amount equal to $34,000. Such eligible investments and shareholder equity thresholds have been satisfied as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Facility includes customary covenants,
including certain financial covenants related to asset coverage, shareholders equity, liquidity and interest coverage, certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, and other maintenance covenants, as well as
usual and customary events of default for senior secured revolving credit facilities of this nature.

As of December 31, 2015 and
2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the Facility.

Subscribed but unissued shares are presented in equity with a deduction of subscriptions receivable until cash
is received for a subscription. There were no subscribed but unissued shares as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

Subscription
transactions during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were executed at an offering price at a premium to net asset value due to the requirement to use prior quarter net asset value as offering price unless it would result in the
Company selling shares of its common stock at a price below the current net asset value and also in order to effect a reallocation of organizational costs to subsequent investors. Such subscription transactions increased net asset value by $0.07 per
share, $0.15 per share and $0.01 per share, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of
December 31, 2015 and 2014, four stockholders represented 97.3% and 96.9%, respectively, of total net assets.

The Company computes
earnings per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.Basic earnings per common share were calculated by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations attributable to the Company by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the year.

Basic and diluted earnings per common share were as follows:

|(1) | For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, net investment income (loss) per share was calculated as net investment income (loss) for the year divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for
the year. For the year ended December 31, 2013, net investment income (loss) per share was calculated as net investment income (loss) for the period divided by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the year.

|(2) | For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, dividends declared per share was calculated as the sum of dividends declared during the year divided by the number of shares outstanding at each respective
quarter-end date (refer to Note 7).
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Increase is due to offering price of subscriptions during the year (refer to Note 7).
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | Total return is based on the change in net asset value per share during the year plus the declared dividends, divided by the beginning net asset value for the year. Total return based on change in net asset value for
the year ended December 31, 2013 was calculated for the period from commencement of operations through December 31, 2013. Total return for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was inclusive of $0.07, $0.15 and $0.01,
respectively, per share increase in net asset value related to the offering price of subscriptions. Excluding the effects of the higher offering price of subscriptions, total return would have been 6.57%, 2.37% and (3.05%), respectively (refer to
Note 7).

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the RIC
Modernization Act) was enacted which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of RICs. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the RIC Modernization Act, the fund
will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the
losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are
carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any pre-enactment or post
enactment capital loss carryforwards.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our President (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based on that evaluation, our President and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures
are effective in timely alerting them of material information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of its President (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
(Principal Financial Officer) and effected by the Companys Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of its consolidated financial
statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Companys internal
control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of the Companys assets; provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material
effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 based on the framework established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this
assessment, management concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 was effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm due to an exemption for
emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

On March 10, 2016, the Companys Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors who are not interested persons as
defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Independent Directors), voted to increase the size of the Board of Directors to seven members by increasing the number of the Class II directors (with a term
expiring at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders) by two persons. In connection with that action, the Independent Directors nominated Nigel D.T. Andrews for election to the Board of Directors as an Independent Director to fill one vacancy and
Eliot P.S. Merrill to fill the second vacancy. The Board of Directors voted unanimously to elect Mr. Andrews and Mr. Merrill to the Board of Directors as Class II directors, effective March 11, 2016, to fill the vacancies created by the increase in
the size of the Board of Directors. In electing Mr. Andrews to the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors determined that Mr. Andrews is an Independent Director and appointed him to the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors.
