PART I

In this annual report on Form 10-K, except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms we, us,
our and THL Credit refer to THL Credit, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries; THL Credit Advisors, the Advisor or the Administrator refers to THL Credit Advisors LLC; Greenway
refers to THL Credit Greenway Fund LLC; THL Credit Opportunities refers to THL Credit Opportunities, L.P.; BDC Holdings refers to THL Credit Partners BDC Holdings, L.P.; and THL Credit Group refers to THL Credit
Group, L.P. Some of the statements in this annual report constitute forward-looking statements, which relate to future events, future performance or financial condition. These forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties and actual
results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including those factors discussed in Risk Factors and elsewhere in this report.



|Item 1. | Business
|------- | --------

THL Credit, Inc.

We are an externally-managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company incorporated in Delaware on
May 26, 2009, that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. On April 21, 2010, we completed our initial public offering, formally
commencing principal operations. In addition, we have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. In 2009, the Company was
treated for tax purposes as a corporation. Our investment activities are managed by THL Credit Advisors and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent of THL Credit Advisors and its affiliates. As a BDC, we are required
to comply with certain regulatory requirements. See Regulation for discussion of BDC regulation and other regulatory considerations.

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation, primarily through investments in privately negotiated debt and equity securities of middle market companies. We invest
primarily in junior capital securities, including subordinated, or mezzanine, debt and second lien secured debt, which junior capital may include an associated equity component such as warrants, preferred stock or other similar securities. We may
also invest in first lien senior secured loans. In certain instances we will also make direct equity investments. We define middle market companies to mean both public and privately-held companies with annual revenues of between $25 million and $500
million. We expect to generate returns through a combination of contractual interest payments on debt investments, equity appreciation (through options, warrants, conversion rights or direct equity investments) and origination and similar fees. We
can offer no assurances that we will achieve our investment objective.

We believe there are significant opportunities to
finance middle market companies that require capital for growth and acquisitions. We also believe that, as a result of the recent credit crisis, a significant investment opportunity exists to invest in middle market companies requiring junior
capital to recapitalize their balance sheets. Additionally, we generally do not intend to invest in start-up companies, operationally distressed situations or companies with speculative business plans. Furthermore, we may invest throughout an
entitys capital structure, which may include senior secured loans, common and preferred equity, options and warrants, high-yield bonds and other structured securities. In addition, we may from time to time invest up to 30% of our assets
opportunistically in other types of investments, including the securities of larger public companies and foreign securities. We anticipate that, over time, our investment portfolio will consist primarily of investments in junior capital.

It is also our belief that a combination of sponsored and unsponsored investments is important to having the most attractive
opportunities across investment cycles, and to that end our nationwide origination efforts target both private equity sponsors and referral sources of unsponsored companies.

##### Table of Contents

Unsponsored companies are either privately-held companies typically owned and controlled by
entrepreneurs rather than private equity firms or microcap public companies, or those public companies with market capitalization of less than $300 million. We believe that unsponsored middle market companies represent a large, attractive and less
competitive investment opportunity for two primary reasons: (1) the number of unsponsored companies far exceeds the number of sponsored companies; and (2) most investors focus primarily on sponsored companies. We also believe that
investments in unsponsored companies will provide for the most attractive economics, alignment of interests with management and the greatest control for us as an investor because unsponsored companies generally have less access to capital providers.

With respect to sponsored transactions, which we define as those companies controlled by private equity firms, or sponsors,
we expect the demand for leveraged buyouts to grow as mergers and acquisition activity increases, although with reduced senior lending from banks and what may be reduced participation from collateralized loan obligation vehicles. We believe junior
capital providers will see increasing opportunities to fill the financing gap. We expect significant demand from sponsors who need to recapitalize the balance sheets of certain of their portfolio companies or, in certain situations, acquire
portfolio companies.

We are generally required to invest at least 70% of our total assets primarily in securities of private
and certain U.S. public companies (other than certain financial institutions), cash, cash equivalents and U.S. government securities and other high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

We are permitted to borrow money from time to time within the levels permitted by the 1940 Act (which generally allows us to incur
leverage for up to one half of our assets). We have used, and expect to continue to use, our credit facility, along with proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our
investment objectives.

THL Credit Advisors LLC

Our investment activities are managed by our investment adviser, THL Credit Advisors. THL Credit Advisors is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting research on prospective investments,
analyzing investment opportunities, structuring our investments, and monitoring our investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. THL Credit Advisors was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on June 26, 2009 and is
registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or the Advisers Act. THL Credit Advisors is led by James K. Hunt, W. Hunter Stropp and Sam W. Tillinghast, who, along with Terrence W. Olson, Stephanie
Paré Sullivan, Christopher J. Flynn and Kunal M. Soni, constitute its principals (collectively THL Credit Principals). The THL Credit Principals and other investment professionals make up our investment team. THL Credit Advisors
is owned and controlled by certain of the THL Credit Principals and a partnership consisting of certain of the partners of THL Partners.

Before joining THL Credit Group, an affiliate of THL Credit Advisors, in 2007, Messrs. Hunt, Tillinghast and Stropp, who collectively have investment experience of 25 years on average and 16 years at a
minimum, were responsible for over $40 billion in investments over the period from 1990 to 2006. Messrs. Hunt and Tillinghast separately had ultimate investment authority for SunAmerica Corporate Finance and the Private Placement Group of AIG,
respectively, where these investments were made. The responsibilities of these individuals included sourcing, identifying, evaluating, structuring, managing and monitoring mezzanine debt, leveraged loans, private placements and private equity
investments. Over the past five years, these individuals have held ultimate responsibility for approximately $460 million in investments. The THL Credit Principals have worked together extensively in the past and have invested through multiple
business and credit cycles, investing across the entire capital structure. We believe the THL Credit Principals bring a unique investment perspective and skill set by virtue of their complementary, collective experience as both debt and equity
investors. In addition, we believe they bring an active equity ownership mentality and intend to focus on adding value to portfolio companies through board representation, when possible, active monitoring and direct dialogue with management.

THL Credit Advisors also serves as our administrator and leases office space to us and provides us with equipment and office
services. The tasks of our administrator include overseeing our financial records, preparing reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC and generally monitoring the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and
professional services rendered to us by others.

Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (THL Partners)

Founded in 1974, THL Partners is one of the oldest and largest private equity investment firms in the United States. Since its
establishment, THL Partners has raised approximately $22 billion of equity capital and together with its affiliates, completed acquisitions of more than 100 businesses, with an aggregate purchase price in excess of $150 billion, and over 200 add-on
transactions. THL Partners focuses its high value-added strategy on growth businesses and seeks to partner with the best managers in an industry to build great companies. We benefit from THL Credit Advisors relationship with THL Partners. THL
Credit Advisors has access to the contacts and industry knowledge of THL Partners investment team to enhance its transaction sourcing capabilities and consults with the THL Partners team on specific industry issues, trends and other matters to
complement our investment process. A partnership consisting of certain partners of THL Partners holds a 50% economic interest in THL Credit Advisors, subject to certain preferred payment obligations if such partnership makes additional capital
contributions in excess of its original investment in THL Credit Advisors.

THL Credit SBIC, LP

On April 8, 2011, the Company received a Greenlight letter allowing it to file an application to license a small business
investment company, or SBIC, with the Investment Division of the Small Business Administration, or the SBA. The application was submitted and formally accepted on September 21, 2011. As of

December 31, 2011, the SBIC LP had not received its license to operate as a SBIC. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such license and capitalize such SBIC with
sufficient regulatory capital to borrow the maximum amount available.

THL Credit SBIC, LP (the SBIC LP) and its
general partner, THL Credit SBIC GP, LLC (the SBIC GP), were organized in Delaware on August 25, 2011 as a limited partnership and limited liability company, respectively. Both the SBIC LP and SBIC GP (the Subsidiaries)
are consolidated wholly-owned subsidiaries of ours. The SBIC LP will be subject to regulation and oversight by the SBA. Under SBA regulations, SBICs may make loans to eligible small businesses and invest in the equity securities of small businesses.
As of December 31, 2011, the SBIC LP was capitalized with investments in eligible small businesses with a cost of $12.8 million that were pre-approved by the SBA.

Market opportunity

We intend to invest primarily in junior capital
securities, including subordinated, or mezzanine, debt and second lien secured debt. We may also invest in first lien senior secured loans. In certain instances we will also make direct equity investments. Mezzanine debt is subordinated to senior
loans and is generally unsecured. First lien senior secured loans generally are senior debt instruments that rank ahead of subordinated and second lien secured debt of a given portfolio company. These loans, together with second lien secured loans,
also have the benefit of a senior security interests on the assets of the portfolio company, which may rank ahead of or be junior to other security interests. We believe the environment for investing in middle market companies is attractive for
several reasons, including:

Consolidation among commercial banks has reduced the focus on middle market
business.We believe that many senior lenders have de-emphasized their service and product offerings to middle market companies in favor of lending to large corporate clients, managing capital markets transactions and providing other
non-credit services to their customers. Further, many financial institutions and traditional lenders are faced with constrained balance sheets and are requiring existing borrowers to reduce leverage.

Middle market companies are increasingly seeking lenders with long-term permanent capital for debt and equity capital. We
believe that many middle market companies prefer to execute transactions with private capital providers such as us, rather than execute high-yield bond or equity transactions in the public markets, which may necessitate increased financial and
regulatory compliance and reporting obligations. Further, we believe many middle market companies are inclined to seek capital from a small number of providers with access to permanent capital that can satisfy their specific needs and can serve as
value-added financial partners with an understanding of, and longer-term view oriented towards, the growth of such businesses.

The current market environment may mean more favorable opportunities for investing in lower middle market companies. We believe
that as part of the path of economic recovery following the credit crisis, select market participants such as hedge funds and collateralized loan obligation vehicles are not as active as lenders in the lower middle market, a space in which we focus,
resulting in fewer lender participants and a greater opportunity for us to originate proprietary investment opportunities in the lower middle market. Fewer participants also results in a more disciplined approach to investment opportunities, a
situation on which we are well positioned to capitalize given the extensive level of experience of the THL Credit Principals, who have worked closely together and have invested through multiple business and credit cycles. In addition, investing in
junior capital securities in the middle market may offer more favorable returns relative to their investment risk, when compared to investments in public high yield or syndicated bank loan securities. For example, junior capital securities generally
involve better pricing terms, access to information, and the ability to diligence and evaluate management teams.

Investment strategy

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation, primarily through investments in
privately negotiated debt and equity securities of middle market companies. We invest primarily



6

##### Table of Contents

in junior capital securities, including subordinated, or mezzanine, debt and second lien secured debt, which junior capital may include an associated equity component such as warrants, preferred
stock or other similar securities. We may also invest in first lien senior secured loans. In certain instances we will also make direct equity investments. Our capital is used to support organic growth, acquisitions, market or product expansion, and
recapitalizations. As such, our investment adviser targets companies with strong operators or management teams which maintain a strong alignment of interests in their business and are seeking capital to grow the company. In these situations, a
substantial portion of the stockholders net worth is subordinated to our debt instrument, reinforcing this alignment of interests.

Our strategy includes an intensive and proactive sourcing of transactions by our investment adviser who targets investments in both sponsored and unsponsored middle market companies. Sponsored
investments, or investments in companies that are controlled by private equity firms, are sourced via long-standing relationships of the THL Credit Principals and ongoing development of new relationships with referral sources and equity
sponsors who view our investment adviser as a partner in the transaction, rather than simply a source of capital to leverage their returns. Unsponsored investments are largely sourced from a variety of regional and local intermediaries, including
regional investment banking firms, business brokers, accountants and lawyers, rather than large commercial or investment banks. For information regarding differences between sponsored and unsponsored transactions, see Item 1. BusinessTHL
Credit, Inc.

We believe a strategy focused on junior capital debt in middle market companies has a number of compelling
attributes. First, the market for these instruments is relatively inefficient, allowing an experienced investor an opportunity to produce high risk-adjusted returns. Second, downside risk can be managed through an extensive credit-oriented
underwriting process, creative structuring techniques and intensive portfolio monitoring. We believe private junior capital investments generally require the highest level of credit and legal due diligence among debt or credit asset classes. Lastly,
compared with equity investments, returns on junior capital loans tend to be less volatile given the substantial current return component and seniority in the capital structure relative to equity.

Competitive advantages

We believe that, through THL Credit Advisors, we possess the following competitive advantages over many other capital providers to middle
market companies:

Highly experienced management team. Before joining an affiliate of THL Credit Advisors five years
ago, Messrs. Hunt, Tillinghast and Stropp, who have 25 years of investment experience on average and 16 years at a minimum, have been responsible for over $40 billion in investments, which included identifying, evaluating, structuring, managing and
monitoring mezzanine debt, leveraged loans, private placements and private equity investments. The THL Credit Principals have worked together extensively in the past and have invested through multiple business and credit cycles, investing across the
entire capital structure with the objective of generating attractive, long-term, risk-adjusted returns. Significant to executing on our strategy will be the THL Credit Principals unique investment perspective and skill-set by virtue of their
complementary collective experience as both debt and equity investors. In addition, we believe the THL Credit Principals bring an active equity ownership mentality and intend to focus on adding value to portfolio companies through board
representation, active monitoring and direct dialogue with management.

Exclusively post credit-crisis vintage. Our
entire portfolio consists of investments that were originated since 2009 which we believe have the stronger and more conservative credit characteristics in place following the credit crisis. We are not adversely affected by deteriorating credit
quality of investments held in any legacy portfolios that were built or acquired prior to the fourth quarter of 2008. We believe this provides us with a significant competitive advantage as we will be able to deploy our available capital into
investments that have been structured and priced to reflect current, rather than historical, market conditions. Additionally, our efforts can be more focused on sourcing and accessing new investments. There can be no assurance, however, that we will
be able to avoid losses or deterioration in the credit quality of our investments.

##### Table of Contents

National middle market origination platform.With offices in Boston, Houston and
Los Angeles, THL Credit Advisors has deep and diverse national origination relationships in the debt capital and private equity markets. These relationships provide an important channel through which our investment adviser expects to generate deal
flow consistent with our investment strategy. Members of THL Credit Advisors investment team have relationships with investment bankers, commercial bankers (national, regional and local), lawyers, accountants and business brokers as well as
access to the extensive network of THL Partners. THL Credit Advisors actively utilizes these relationships and networks to source and execute attractive investments, and maintains a database and set of reports where the details of all potential
investment opportunities are tracked. Further, we believe the investment history and long-standing reputation of the THL Credit Advisors investment team members in the market allow THL Credit Advisors an early look at new investment opportunities.

Ability to execute unsponsored transactions.THL Credit Advisors believes it is one of the few credit market
participants that actively seek unsponsored investments and possesses the experience and resources, as a result of the long-standing relationships of the THL Credit Principals and ongoing development of new relationships with referral sources and
equity sponsors, to source unsponsored junior capital transactions. Furthermore, THL Credit Advisors has the capability to perform the rigorous in-house due diligence, structuring and monitoring activities necessary to execute such transactions.

Investment selection

Our value-oriented investment philosophy is primarily focused on maximizing yield relative to risk. Upon identifying a potential opportunity, THL Credit Advisors performs an initial screen to determine
whether pursuing intensive due diligence is merited. As part of this process, we have identified several criteria we believe are important in evaluating and investing in prospective portfolio companies. These criteria provide general guidelines for
our investment decisions. However, each prospective portfolio company in which we choose to invest may not meet all of these criteria.

Value orientation/positive cash flow. Our investment philosophy places a premium on fundamental credit analysis and has a distinct value orientation. We generally focus on companies in which we can
invest at relatively low multiples of operating cash flow and that are profitable at the time of investment on an operating cash flow basis. Although we obtain liens on collateral when appropriate and available, we are primarily focused on the
predictability of future cash flow. We generally do not intend to invest in start-up companies or companies with speculative business plans.

Seasoned management with significant equity ownership. Strong, committed management teams are important to the success of an investment and we focus on companies where strong management teams are
either already in place or where new management teams have been identified. Additionally, we generally require the portfolio companies to have in place compensation provisions that appropriately incentivize management to succeed and to act in our
interests as investors.

Strong competitive position. We seek to invest in companies that have developed competitive
advantages and defensible market positions within their respective markets and are well positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities.

Exit strategy. We seek companies that we believe will generate consistent cash flow to repay our loans and reinvest in their respective businesses. We expect such internally generated cash flow in
portfolio companies to be a key means by which we exit from our investments over time. In addition, we invest in companies whose business models and expected future cash flows offer attractive exit possibilities for the equity component of our
returns. These companies include candidates for strategic acquisition by other industry participants and companies that may repay our investments through an initial public offering of common stock or another capital market transaction.

Due diligence and investment process

We employ a rigorous and disciplined underwriting and due diligence process. Our process includes a comprehensive understanding of a
borrowers industry, market, operational, financial, organizational and legal position and prospects. We seek borrowers that have proven management teams that have a vested interest in the company in the form of a meaningful level of equity
ownership, that generate stable and predictable cash flow, and whose market position is defensible. We invest in companies with the expectation that we will own the investment through a complete business cycle, and possibly a recession, and we
determine the appropriate amount of debt for the company accordingly. In addition, we view a sale of the company which might result in a refinancing of our investment as a possibility but not an expectation. We conduct thorough reference and
background checks on senior management for all mezzanine transactions. Our intention is to craft strong and lender-friendly credit agreements with covenants, events of default, remedies and inter-creditor agreements being an integral part of our
legal documents.

Our due diligence typically includes the following elements (although not all elements will necessarily form
part of every due diligence project):

Issuer Characteristics: key levers of the business including a focus on drivers
of cash flow and growth; revenue visibility; customer and supplier concentrations; historical revenue and margin trends; fixed versus variable costs; free cash flow analysis; company performance in view of industry performance; and sensitivity
analysis around various future performance scenarios (with a focus on downside scenario analysis);

Industry Analysis:
including the companys position within the context of the general economic environment and relevant industry cycles; industry size and growth rates; competitive landscape; barriers to entry and potential new entrants; product position and
defensibility of market share; technological, regulatory and similar threats; and pricing power and cost considerations;

Management: including the quality, breadth and depth of the issuers management; track record and prior experience;
background checks; reputation; compensation and equity incentives; corporate overhead; and motivation; interviews with management, employees, customers and vendors;

Financial Analysis: an understanding of relevant financial ratios and statistics, including various leverage, liquidity, free cash flow and fixed charge coverage ratios; impact on ratios in various
future performance scenarios and comparison of ratios to industry competitors; satisfaction with the auditor of the financial statements; quality of earnings analysis;

Capital Structure: diverse considerations regarding leverage (including understanding seniority and leverage multiples); ability to service debt; collateral and security protections; covenants and
guarantees; equity investment amounts and participants (where applicable); and review of other significant structural terms and pertinent legal documentation; and

Collateral and Enterprise Value: analysis of relevant collateral coverage, including assets on a liquidation basis and enterprise value on a going concern basis; matrix analysis of cash flow and
valuation multiples under different scenarios along with recovery estimates; comparison to recent transaction multiples and valuations.

Investment committee

The purpose of the investment committee is to evaluate and approve, as deemed appropriate, all investments by THL Credit Advisors. The
committee process is intended to bring the diverse experience and perspectives of the committees members to the analysis and consideration of every investment. The committee also serves to provide investment consistency and adherence to THL
Credit Advisors investment philosophies and policies. The investment committee also determines appropriate investment sizing and suggests ongoing monitoring requirements.

##### Table of Contents

In addition to reviewing investments, the committee meetings serve as a forum to discuss
credit views and outlooks. Potential transactions and deal flow are also reviewed on a regular basis. Members of our investment team are encouraged to share information and views on credits with the committee early in their analysis. This process
improves the quality of the analysis and assists the deal team members to work more efficiently.

Each transaction is
presented to the investment committee in a formal written report. Our investment committee currently consists of James K. Hunt, W. Hunter Stropp, Sam W. Tillinghast, Christopher J. Flynn and Kunal M. Soni. To approve a new investment, or to exit or
sell an existing investment, the consent of a majority of the five members of the committee is required, with Mr. Hunt, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, having veto power.

Investment structure

We
invest primarily in private subordinated debt, or mezzanine debt, and junior capital, which in many cases includes an associated equity component such as warrants, preferred stock or other similar securities. In certain instances we also make direct
equity investments. We generally do not intend to invest in start-up companies, operationally distressed situations or companies with speculative business plans. In addition, we may invest up to 30% of our portfolio in opportunistic investments
which will be intended to diversify or complement the remainder of our portfolio and to enhance our returns to stockholders. These investments may include high-yield bonds, private equity investments, securities of public companies that are broadly
traded and securities of non-U.S. companies. We expect that these public companies generally will have debt securities that are non-investment grade.

In order to achieve our investment objective, we will compose a portfolio that will include primarily mezzanine loans by investing an average of approximately $10 million to $25 million of capital per
transaction. Generally, mezzanine loans rank subordinate in priority of payment to senior debt, such as senior bank debt, and are often unsecured. However, mezzanine loans rank senior to common and preferred equity in a borrowers capital
structure. Typically, mezzanine loans have elements of both debt and equity instruments, offering the fixed returns in the form of interest payments associated with debt, while providing lenders an opportunity to participate in the capital
appreciation of a borrower, if any, through an equity interest. This equity interest typically takes the form of warrants to purchase common stock. Due to its higher risk profile and often less restrictive covenants as compared to senior loans,
mezzanine loans generally earn a higher return than senior secured loans. The warrants associated with mezzanine loans are typically detachable, which allows lenders to receive repayment of their principal on an agreed amortization schedule while
retaining their equity interest in the borrower. We believe that mezzanine loans offer an attractive investment opportunity based upon their historic returns and resilience during economic downturns.

We may invest throughout an entitys capital structure, which may include senior secured loans, common and preferred equity, options
and warrants, high-yield bonds and other structured securities.

Once we have determined that a prospective portfolio company
is suitable for investment, we work with the management of that company and its other capital providers, including, as applicable, senior, junior, and equity capital providers, to structure an investment. We negotiate among these parties to agree on
how our investment is expected to perform relative to the other capital in the portfolio companys capital structure.

We
structure our mezzanine investments, or junior capital, primarily as unsecured, subordinated loans that provide for relatively high, fixed interest rates that will provide us with current interest income. These loans typically have interest-only
payments in the early years, with amortization of principal deferred to the later years. In some cases, we may enter into loans that, by their terms, convert into equity or additional debt securities or defer payments of interest for the first few
years after our investment. Also, in some cases our mezzanine loans will be collateralized by a subordinated lien on some or all of the assets of the borrower. Typically, our mezzanine loans will have maturities of five to ten years. In determining
whether a prospective mezzanine loan investment satisfies our investment criteria, we generally seek a high total return potential, although there can be



10



---

##### Table of Contents

no assurance we will find investments satisfying that criterion or that any such investments will perform in accordance with expectations. To the extent we invest in senior secured loans, we
expect such loans to have terms of three to ten years and may provide for deferred interest payments in the first few years of the term of the loan. To the extent we invest in senior secured loans, we obtain security interests in the assets of these
portfolio companies that serve as collateral in support of the repayment of these loans. This collateral may take the form of first or second priority liens on the assets of a portfolio company. We expect that the interest rate on senior secured
loans generally will range between 2% and 10% over the London Interbank Offer Rate, or LIBOR, which is a rate that changes daily and reflects the rate at which large banks lend to one another.

We tailor the terms of the investment to the facts and circumstances of the transaction and the prospective portfolio company,
negotiating a structure that protects our rights and manages our risk while creating incentives for the portfolio company to achieve its business plan and improve its profitability. We seek to limit the downside potential of our investments by:



| |  |  | requiring a total return on our investments (including both interest and potential equity appreciation) that compensates us for credit risk; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | negotiating covenants in connection with our investments that afford our portfolio companies as much flexibility in managing their businesses as
possible, consistent with preservation of our capital. Such restrictions may include affirmative and negative covenants, default penalties, lien protection, change of control provisions and board rights, including either observation or rights to a
seat on the board under some circumstances or participation rights.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our investments may include equity
features, such as warrants or options to buy a minority interest in the portfolio company. Any warrants we receive with our debt securities generally require only a nominal cost to exercise, and thus, as a portfolio company appreciates in value, we
may achieve additional investment return from this equity interest. We may structure the warrants to provide provisions protecting our rights as a minority-interest holder, as well as puts, or rights to sell such securities back to the company, upon
the occurrence of specified events. In many cases, we also obtain registration rights in connection with these equity interests, which may include demand and piggyback registration rights.

Managerial assistance

As a BDC, we offer, and must provide upon request, managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies. This assistance could
involve, among other things, monitoring the operations of our portfolio companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising officers of portfolio companies and providing other organizational and financial
guidance. We may receive fees for these services and will reimburse THL Credit Advisors as our Administrator for its allocated costs in providing such assistance subject to review and approval by our board of directors. THL Credit Advisors will
provide such managerial assistance on our behalf to portfolio companies that request this assistance.

Staffing

We do not currently have any employees. Our Advisor and Administrator have hired and expect to continue to hire professionals with skills
applicable to our business plan and investment objective, including experience in middle market investment, leveraged finance and capital markets. Each of our executive officers is an employee and executive officer of our Advisor or Administrator.
Our day-to-day investment operations are managed by our Advisor. Our Advisor currently has 12 investment professionals who focus on origination and transaction development and monitoring of our investments. We reimburse our Advisor for costs and
expenses incurred by our Advisor for office space rental, office equipment and utilities allocable to our Advisor under the management agreement, as well as any costs and expenses incurred by our Advisor relating to any non-investment advisory,
administrative or operating services provided by our Advisor to us. In addition, we reimburse our Administrator for our allocable portion of expenses it incurs in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including rent and our
allocable portion of the cost of certain of our officers and their respective staffs.

Monitoring

We view active portfolio monitoring as a vital part of our investment process. We consider board observation rights, regular dialogue with company management and sponsors, and detailed internally
generated monitoring reports to be critical to our performance. We have developed a monitoring template that promotes compliance with these standards and that is used as a tool by THL Credit Advisors investment committee to assess investment
performance relative to plan. In addition, our portfolio companies may rely on us to provide financial and capital market expertise and may view us as a value-added resource.

As part of the monitoring process, THL Credit Advisors continually assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and will rate them based on the following categories, which we refer to as THL
Credit Advisors investment performance rating, or IPR:

1  Performing at or above plan.

2  Watch / minor risk. Portfolio company operating below plan but in compliance with financial covenants and performance is
expected to improve.

3  Significant risk. Portfolio company performing materially below plan and may be in default of
financial covenants. Loss of principal not expected but returns likely impaired.

4  Potential impairment. Focus is on
preservation of capital.

For any investment rated 2, 3 or 4, our manager increases its level of focus and prepares regular
updates for the investment committee summarizing current operating results, material impending events and recommended actions.

The Advisor monitors and, when appropriate, changes the investment ratings assigned to each investment in our portfolio. In connection
with our investment valuation process, the Advisor and Board of Directors review these investment ratings on a quarterly basis. Our average investment rating was 1.25 and 1.17 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The following is a
distribution of the investment ratings of our portfolio companies at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

Competition

Our primary competitors to provide financing to middle market companies include public and private funds, commercial and investment banks, CLO Funds, commercial finance companies and private equity and
hedge funds. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial and marketing resources than we do. For example, some competitors may have 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, 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 1940 Act imposes on us as a BDC or to the distribution and other requirements we must satisfy to maintain our favorable RIC tax status.

Investment management agreement

THL Credit Advisors serves as our investment adviser. THL Credit Advisors is registered as an investment adviser under
the Advisers Act. Subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors, THL Credit Advisors manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory and management services to, THL Credit, Inc. We provide similar services to
SBIC LP under its investment management agreement with us. The address of THL Credit Advisors is 100 Federal Street,
31stFloor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.

Under the terms of our investment management agreement, THL Credit Advisors:



| |  |  | determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments we make (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfolio
companies); and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | closes, monitors and administers the investments we make, including the exercise of any voting or consent rights.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THL Credit Advisors services under the investment management agreement are not exclusive, and it is free to furnish similar
services to other entities so long as its services to us are not impaired.

Pursuant to our investment management agreement,
we pay THL Credit Advisors a fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of a base management fee and a two-part incentive fee.

Management Fee. The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of our gross assets payable quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the base
management fee, gross assets is determined without deduction for any liabilities. For the first quarter of our operations, the base management fee was calculated based on the initial value of our gross assets. Beginning with our second
quarter of operations, the base management fee was calculated based on the value of our gross assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current
calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial quarter are appropriately prorated. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, THL Credit Advisors earned base management fees of $4.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, from us.
THL Credit Advisors did not earn base management fees from us in 2009, as we had not yet commenced principal operations.

Incentive Fee. The incentive fee has two components, ordinary income and capital gains, calculated as follows:

The ordinary income component is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our preincentive fee net investment income for the
immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a total return requirement and deferral of non-cash amounts, and will be 20.0% of the amount, if any, by which our preincentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value
of our net assets attributable to our common stock, for the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds a 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) hurdle rate and a catch-up provision measured as of the end of each calendar quarter. Under this
provision, in any calendar quarter, our investment adviser receives no incentive fee until our preincentive fee net investment income equals the hurdle rate of 2.0%, but then receives, as a catch-up, 100% of our preincentive fee net
investment income with respect to that portion of such preincentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5%. The effect of the catch-up provision is that, subject to the total return and
deferral provisions discussed below, if preincentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter, our investment adviser receives 20.0% of our preincentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply. For this
purpose, preincentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, managerial assistance and consulting fees or other fees
that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter,

minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the administration agreement (as defined below), and any interest expense and any dividends
paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee and any offering expenses and other expenses not charged to operations but excluding certain reversals to the extent such reversals have the effect of reducing
previously accrued incentive fees based on the deferral of non-cash interest). Preincentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK
interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. The foregoing incentive fee is subject to a total return requirement, which provides that no incentive fee in respect of the Companys preincentive fee
net investment income will be payable except to the extent 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over the then current and 11 preceding quarters exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the
11 preceding quarters. In other words, any ordinary income incentive fee that is payable in a calendar quarter will be limited to the lesser of (i) 20% of the amount by which our preincentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter
exceeds the 2.0% hurdle, subject to the catch-up provision, and (ii) (x) 20% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters minus
(y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the 11 preceding calendar quarters. For the foregoing purpose, the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations is the amount, if positive, of the sum of
preincentive fee net investment income, base management fees, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the Company for the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters. In addition, the portion of such incentive
fee that is attributable to deferred interest (such as PIK interest or OID) will be paid to THL Credit Advisors, together with interest thereon from the date of deferral to the date of payment, only if and to the extent we actually receive such
interest in cash, and any accrual thereof will be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write-off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual. Any reversal of such
accounts would reduce net income for the quarter by the net amount of the reversal (after taking into account the reversal of incentive fees payable) and would result in a reduction and possibly elimination of the incentive fees for such quarter.
There is no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and accordingly there is no clawback of amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the quarterly hurdle and there is no delay of payment if prior quarters
are below the quarterly hurdle.

Preincentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized
capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that we may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where we incur a loss, subject to the total return requirement and
deferral of non-cash amounts. For example, if we receive preincentive fee net investment income in excess of the quarterly minimum hurdle rate, we will pay the applicable incentive fee even if we have incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized
and unrealized capital losses. Our net investment income used to calculate this component of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of our gross assets used to calculate the 1.5% base management fee. These calculations will be
appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current quarter.

The following is a graphical representation of the calculation of the income-related portion of the incentive fee:

Percentage of pre-incentive fee net investment income allocated to first component of
incentive fee

The capital gains component of the incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each
calendar year (or upon termination of the investment management agreement, as of the termination date), commencing on December 31, 2010, and is equal to 20.0% of our cumulative aggregate realized capital gains from inception through the end of
that calendar year, computed net of our aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and our aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation through the end of such year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive
fees, provided that the incentive fee determined as of December 31, 2010 will be calculated for a period of shorter than twelve calendar months to take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and
unrealized capital depreciation for the period ending December 31, 2010. If such amount is negative, then no capital gains incentive fee will be payable for such year. Additionally, if the investment management agreement is terminated as of a
date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date will be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying the capital gains incentive fee. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, THL Credit
Advisors earned incentive fees of $4.8 million and $0.0 million, respectively, from us. THL Credit Advisors did not earn incentive fees from us in 2009, as we had not yet commenced principal operations.

Examples of Quarterly Incentive Fee Calculation

Example 1: Income Portion of Incentive Fee before Total Return Requirement Calculation:

Assumptions

| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | Base management fee(2) = 0.375%
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | Other expenses (legal, accounting, custodian, transfer agent, etc.)(3) = 0.40%

Additional Assumptions



| |  |  | Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 1.25%
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Pre-incentive fee net investment income (investment income(base management fee + other expenses)) = 0.475%
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pre-incentive net investment income does not exceed hurdle rate, therefore there is no incentive fee.

Alternative 2

Additional Assumptions



| |  |  | Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 2.90%
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Preincentive fee net investment income (investment income(base management fee + other expenses)) = 2.125%
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preincentive fee net investment income exceeds hurdle rate, therefore there is an incentive fee.

Incentive fee = (100% × Catch-Up) + (the greater of 0% AND (20.0% × (preincentive fee net
investment income2.5%)))

= (100.0% x (preincentive fee net investment income2.00%)) +0%

= (100.0% x (2.125%2.00%))

= 100% x 0.125%

= 0.125%

| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preincentive fee net investment income exceeds hurdle rate, therefore there is an incentive fee.

Incentive Fee = (100% × Catch-Up) + (the greater of 0% AND (20.0% × (preincentive fee net
investment income2.5%)))

= (100% × (2.5%2.0%)) + (20.0% × (2.725%2.5%))

| |  |  | 20.0% of cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over current and preceding 11 calendar quarters = $8,000,000
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although our preincentive fee net investment income exceeds the hurdle rate of 2.0% (as shown in Alternative
3 of Example 1 above), no incentive fee is payable because 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters did not exceed the cumulative income and capital gains
incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the preceding 11 calendar quarters.

Limitation of
liability and indemnification

The investment management agreement provides that THL Credit Advisors and its officers,
directors, employees and affiliates are not liable to us or any of our stockholders for any act or omission by it or its employees in the supervision or management of our investment activities or for any loss sustained by us or our stockholders,
except that the foregoing exculpation does not extend to any act or omission constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations under the investment management agreement. The investment management
agreement also provides for indemnification by us of THL Credit Advisors members, directors, officers, employees, agents and control persons for liabilities incurred by it in connection with their services to us, subject to the same
limitations and to certain conditions.

Duration and termination

The investment management agreement was approved by our board of directors on March 6, 2012, as described further below under
Item 1. BusinessBoard Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Unless terminated earlier as described below, it will remain in effect from year to year if approved annually by our board of directors or by the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities, including, in either case, approval by a majority of our directors who are not interested persons. The investment management agreement will automatically terminate in the event of
its assignment. The investment management agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon not less than 60 days written notice to the other. Any termination by us must be authorized either by our board of directors or by vote of our
stockholders. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks relating to our business. We are dependent upon senior management personnel of our investment adviser for our future success, and if our investment adviser is unable to retain qualified
personnel or if our investment adviser loses any member of its senior management team, our ability to achieve our investment objective could be significantly harmed.

Board Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement

At a meeting of our Board of Directors held on March 6, 2012, our Board of Directors unanimously voted to approve the investment
advisory agreement. In reaching a decision to approve the investment advisory agreement, the Board of Directors reviewed a significant amount of information and considered, among other things:



| |  |  | the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services to be provided to us by THL Credit Advisors LLC;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the fee structures of comparable externally managed business development companies that engage in similar investing activities;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our projected operating expenses and expense ratio compared to business development companies with similar investment objectives;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any existing and potential sources of indirect income to THL Credit Advisors LLC from its relationship with us and the profitability of that
relationship, including through the investment advisory agreement;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | information about the services to be performed and the personnel performing such services under the investment advisory agreement;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the organizational capability and financial condition of THL Credit Advisors LLC and its affiliates; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | various other matters.
| | - |  | ----------------------

Based on the information reviewed and the discussions detailed above, the Board of Directors, including all of the directors who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act,
concluded that the investment advisory fee rates and terms are reasonable in relation to the services provided and approved the investment advisory agreement as being in the best interests of our stockholders.

Administration agreement

We have entered into an administration agreement with THL Credit Advisors, which we refer to as the administration agreement,
under which the Administrator provides administrative services to us. We provide similar services to SBIC LP under its administration agreement with us. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, we reimburse the Administrator for our
allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our officers and their respective
staffs.

The Administrator may pay amounts owed by us to third-party providers of goods or services. We will subsequently
reimburse the Administrator for such amounts paid on our behalf.

Additionally, at our request, the Administrator provides on
our behalf significant managerial assistance to our portfolio companies to which we are required to provide such assistance.

License
agreement

We and THL Credit Advisors have entered into a license agreement with THL Partners under which THL Partners has
granted to us and THL Credit Advisors a non-exclusive, personal, revocable worldwide non-transferable license to use the trade name and service mark THL, which is a proprietary mark of THL Partners, for specified purposes in connection with our
respective businesses. This license agreement is royalty-free, which means we are not charged a fee for our use of the trade name and service mark THL. The license agreement is terminable either in its entirety or with respect to us or THL Credit
Advisors by THL Partners at any time in its sole discretion upon 60 days prior written notice, and is also terminable with respect to either us or THL Credit Advisors by THL Partners in the case of certain events of non-compliance. After the
expiration of its first one year term, the entire license agreement is terminable by either us or THL Credit Advisors at our or its sole discretion upon 60 days prior written notice. Upon termination of the license agreement, we and THL Credit

##### Table of Contents

Advisors must cease to use the name and mark THL, including any use in our respective legal names, filings, listings and other uses that may require us to withdraw or replace our names and
marks. Other than with respect to the limited rights contained in the license agreement, we and THL Credit Advisors have no right to use, or other rights in respect of, the THL name and mark. We are an entity operated independently from THL
Partners, and third parties who deal with us have no recourse against THL Partners.

Regulation

Regulated Investment Company and Business Development Company Regulations

We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We have also elected to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter
M of the Code. The 1940 Act contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to transactions between BDCs and their affiliates (including any investment advisers or sub-advisers), principal underwriters and affiliates of those affiliates or
underwriters and requires that a majority of the directors be persons other than interested persons, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act.

In addition, the 1940 Act provides that we may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw our election as, a BDC unless approved by a majority of our outstanding
voting securities as defined in the 1940 Act. A majority of the outstanding voting securities of a company is defined under the 1940 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.

We are not generally able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. We may,
however, issue and 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 (1) our board of directors determines that such sale is in our best
interests and the best interests of our stockholders, and (2) our stockholders have approved our policy and practice of making such sales within the preceding 12 months. In any such case, the price at which our securities are to be issued and
sold may not be less than a price which, in the determination of our board of directors, closely approximates the market value of such securities.

We may also be prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of our board of directors who are not interested persons
and, in some cases, prior approval by the SEC.

We may invest up to 100% of our assets in securities acquired directly from
issuers in privately negotiated transactions. With respect to such securities, we may, for the purpose of public resale, be deemed an underwriter as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act. We do not
intend to acquire securities issued by any investment company that exceed the limits imposed by the 1940 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 more than one investment company. With regard to that
portion of our portfolio invested in securities issued by investment companies, it should be noted that such investments might indirectly subject our stockholders to additional expenses as they will indirectly be responsible for the costs and
expenses of such companies. None of our investment policies are fundamental and any may be changed without stockholder approval.

Qualifying assets

Under the 1940 Act, a BDC may not acquire any asset other than assets of the type listed in section 55(a) of the 1940 Act, which are
referred to as qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the companys total assets. The principal categories of qualifying assets relevant to our proposed business are the
following:



| |  |  | 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
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| | 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 1940 Act as any issuer which:
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

Control, as defined by the 1940 Act, is presumed to exist where a BDC beneficially owns more than 25% of
the outstanding voting securities of the portfolio company.

Significant managerial assistance to portfolio companies

A BDC must have been organized and have its principal place of business in the United States and must be operated for
the purpose of making investments in the types of securities described in Item 1. BusinessRegulationQualifying assets 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. Where the BDC purchases such
securities in conjunction with one or more other persons acting together, the BDC will satisfy this test if one of the other persons in the group makes available such managerial assistance, although this may not be the sole method by which the BDC
satisfies the requirement to make available 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. Typically, we invest in highly rated commercial paper, U.S. Government agency notes,



22

##### Table of Contents

U.S. Treasury bills or in repurchase agreements relating to such securities that 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 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. Consequently, repurchase agreements are functionally similar to loans. There is no percentage restriction on the proportion of our assets that may be invested in such repurchase agreements. However, the 1940
Act and certain diversification tests in order to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes typically require us to limit the amount we invest with any one counterparty. Our investment adviser monitors the creditworthiness of the
counterparties with which we enter into repurchase agreement transactions.

Warrants and Options

Under the 1940 Act, a BDC is subject to restrictions on the amount of warrants, options, restricted stock or rights to purchase shares of
capital stock that it may have outstanding at any time. In particular, the amount of capital stock that would result from the conversion or exercise of all outstanding warrants, options or rights to purchase capital stock cannot exceed 25% of the
BDCs total outstanding shares of capital stock.

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 1940 Act, is at least equal to 200% immediately after each such issuance. In addition, while any preferred stock or publicly traded debt securities are 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. For a discussion of the risks associated with leverage, see Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks related to our operations as a BDC.

Proxy voting policies and procedures

We have delegated our proxy voting responsibility to THL Credit Advisors. The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of THL Credit Advisors are set forth below. The guidelines are reviewed periodically by
THL Credit Advisors and our independent directors, and, accordingly, are subject to change.

Introduction

THL Credit Advisors is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. As an investment adviser registered under the Advisers
Act, THL Credit Advisors has fiduciary duties to us. As part of this duty, THL Credit Advisors recognizes that it must vote client securities in a timely manner free of conflicts of interest and in our best interests and the best interests of our
stockholders. THL Credit Advisors Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures have been formulated to ensure decision-making consistent with these fiduciary duties.

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

Proxy policies

THL
Credit Advisors evaluates routine proxy matters, such as proxy proposals, amendments or resolutions on a case-by-case basis. Routine matters are typically proposed by management and THL Credit Advisors will normally support such matters so long as
they do not measurably change the structure, management control, or operation of the corporation and are consistent with industry standards as well as the corporate laws of the state of incorporation.



23



---

##### Table of Contents

THL Credit Advisors also evaluates non-routine matters on a case-by-case basis. Non-routine
proposals concerning social issues are typically proposed by stockholders who believe that the corporations internally adopted policies are ill-advised or misguided. If THL Credit Advisors has determined that management is generally socially
responsible, THL Credit Advisors will generally vote against these types of non-routine proposals. Non-routine proposals concerning financial or corporate issues are usually offered by management and seek to change a corporations legal,
business or financial structure. THL Credit Advisors will generally vote in favor of such proposals provided the position of current stockholders is preserved or enhanced. Non-routine proposals concerning stockholder rights are made regularly by
both management and stockholders. They can be generalized as involving issues that transfer or realign board or stockholder voting power. THL Credit Advisors typically would oppose any proposal aimed solely at thwarting potential takeovers by
requiring, for example, super-majority approval. At the same time, THL Credit Advisors believes stability and continuity promote profitability. THL Credit Advisors guidelines in this area seek a middle road and individual proposals will be
carefully assessed in the context of their particular circumstances.

If a vote may involve a material conflict of interest,
prior to approving such vote, THL Credit Advisors must consult with its chief compliance officer to determine whether the potential conflict is material and if so, the appropriate method to resolve such conflict. If the conflict is determined not to
be material, THL Credit Advisors employees shall vote the proxy in accordance with THL Credit Advisors proxy voting policy.

Code of ethics and code of ethics and business conduct

We have adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act that establishes procedures for personal
investments and restricts certain personal securities transactions. Personnel subject to the code of ethics may invest in securities for their personal investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by us, so long as such
investments are made in accordance with the code of ethics requirements.

We have also adopted a code of ethics and business
conduct pursuant to the listing standards of NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5610, which sets forth business ethics policies to which our officers and directors must adhere. Our code of ethics and our code of ethics and business conduct are available, free
of charge, on our website at www.thlcredit.com. We intend to disclose any amendments to, or waivers from, our code of ethics or our code of ethics and business conduct that are required to be publicly disclosed pursuant to rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and the NASDAQ Global Select Market by filing such amendment or waiver with the Securities and Exchange Commission and by posting it on our website. You may read and copy the code of ethics and the code
of ethics and business conduct at the SECs Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (202) 551-8090. In addition, the code of ethics and business
conduct is attached as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. You may also obtain copies of the code of ethics and the code of ethics and business conduct, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following e-mail
address: publicinfo@sec.gov, or by writing the SECs Public Reference Section, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.

Privacy
Principles

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

##### Table of Contents

Generally, we do not receive any nonpublic personal information relating to our
stockholders, although certain nonpublic personal information of our stockholders may become available to us. We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our stockholders or former stockholders to anyone, except as permitted by law
or as is necessary in order to service stockholder accounts (for example, to a transfer agent or third party administrator).

We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about our stockholders to our investment advisers employees with a legitimate
business need for the information. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect the nonpublic personal information of our stockholders.

Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and The NASDAQ Global Select Market Corporate Governance Regulations

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) imposes a wide variety of regulatory requirements on publicly-held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements affect us.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has required us to review our 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 future
regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance therewith.

In addition, The NASDAQ Global Select Market has adopted various corporate governance requirements as part of its listing standards. We believe we are in compliance with such corporate governance listing
standards. We will continue to monitor our compliance with all future listing standards and will take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance therewith.

Other

We have adopted an investment policy that mirrors the
requirements applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act.

We are subject to periodic examination by the SEC for compliance
with the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act.

We are required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity
insurance company to protect us against larceny and embezzlement. 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.

We and THL Credit
Advisors have adopted and implemented written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violation of the federal securities laws, and will review these policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their
implementation. We and THL Credit Advisors have designated a chief compliance officer to be responsible for administering the policies and procedures.

Our internet address is www.thlcredit.com. We make available free of charge on our website our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K
and amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC.

Small Business Administration Regulations

On April 8, 2011, we received a Greenlight letter allowing us to file an application to license an SBIC with the
Investment Division of the SBA. The SBIC, which will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of THL Credit, Inc., will have investment objectives similar to ours and will make similar types of investments in accordance with SBA regulations. The SBIC will be
subject to regulation and oversight by the SBA. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such license and capitalize such SBIC with sufficient regulatory capital to borrow the maximum amount available.

THL Credit SBIC, LP (the SBIC LP) and its general partner, THL Credit SBIC GP, LLC (the SBIC GP), were organized
in Delaware on August 25, 2011 as a limited partnership and limited liability company, respectively. Both the SBIC LP and SBIC GP (the Subsidiaries) are consolidated wholly-owned subsidiaries of ours. The SBIC LP will be subject to
regulation and oversight by the SBA. Under SBA regulations, SBICs may make loans to eligible small businesses and invest in the equity securities of small businesses. As of December 31, 2011, the SBIC LP was capitalized with investments in
eligible small businesses with a cost of $12.8 million that were pre-approved by the SBA.

The SBIC will be licensed under
Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. Under the Small Business Investment Company Act and current SBA policy applicable to SBICs, an SBIC can have outstanding at any time SBA guaranteed debentures up to twice the amount
of its regulatory capital.

As of June 30, 2011, the maximum statutory limit on the dollar amount of outstanding SBA
guaranteed debentures issued by a single SBIC is $150.0 million, subject to periodic adjustments by the SBA. There is no assurance that our SBIC subsidiary, when licensed, will be able to draw up to the maximum limit available under the SBIC
program.

SBICs are designed to stimulate the flow of private equity capital to eligible small businesses. Under present SBA
regulations, eligible small businesses include businesses that have a tangible net worth not exceeding $18.0 million and have average annual net income after federal income taxes not exceeding $6.0 million for the two most recent fiscal years.
In addition, SBICs must devote 25.0% of its investment activity to smaller concerns as defined by the SBA. A smaller concern is one that has a tangible net worth not exceeding $6.0 million and has average annual net income after federal
income taxes not exceeding $2.0 million for the two most recent fiscal years. SBA regulations also provide alternative size standard criteria to determine eligibility, which depend on the industry in which the business is engaged and are based on
such factors as the number of employees and gross sales. According to SBA regulations, SBICs may make long term loans to small businesses, invest in the equity securities of such businesses and provide them with consulting and advisory services.

SBICs are periodically examined and audited by the SBAs staff to determine compliance with SBIC regulations. If an SBIC
fails to comply with applicable SBA regulations, the SBA could, depending on the severity of the violation, limit or prohibit an SBICs use of debentures, declare outstanding debentures immediately due and payable, and/or limit an SBIC from
making new investments. In addition, an SBIC may also be limited in its ability to make distributions to us if it does not have sufficient capital in accordance with SBA regulations. Such actions by the SBA would, in turn, negatively affect us
because the SBIC is our wholly owned subsidiary.

The SBA restricts the ability of SBICs to repurchase their capital stock.
SBA regulations also include restrictions on a change of control or transfer of an SBIC and require that SBICs invest idle funds in accordance with SBA regulations. In addition, our SBIC subsidiary, when licensed, may also be limited in
its ability to make distributions to us if it does not have sufficient capital, in accordance with SBA regulations.

Our SBIC
subsidiary, when licensed, will be subject to regulation and oversight by the SBA, including requirements with respect to maintaining certain minimum financial ratios and other covenants. Receipt of an

SBIC license does not assure that our SBIC subsidiary, when licensed, will receive SBA guaranteed debenture funding, which is dependent upon our SBIC subsidiary continuing to be in compliance
with SBA regulations and policies. The SBA, as a creditor, will have a superior claim to our SBIC subsidiarys assets over our stockholders in the event we liquidate our SBIC subsidiary or the SBA exercises its remedies under the SBA-guaranteed
debentures issued by our SBIC subsidiary upon an event of default.

Certain U.S Federal Income Tax Considerations

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level
federal income taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders from our tax earnings and profits. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements
(as described below). In addition, in order maintain RIC tax treatment, 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 income plus
the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses (the Annual Distribution Requirement).

Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company

If we:



| |  |  | obtain and maintain our qualification as a RIC; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



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

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

In order
to maintain our qualification as a RIC for federal income tax purposes, we must, among other things:



| |  |  | continue to qualify as a BDC under the 1940 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 certain securities loans, gains from
the sale of stock or other securities, net income from certain qualified publicly traded partnerships, or other income derived with respect to our business of investing in such stock or securities (the 90% 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, of 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).
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain
undistributed income unless we distribute in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income for each calendar year and (3) any
income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which we paid no federal income tax (the Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement). We may choose to retain a portion of our ordinary income and/or capital gain net income in any
year and pay the 4% U.S. federal excise tax on the retained amounts.



27

##### Table of Contents

For federal income tax purposes, we may be required to recognize taxable income in
circumstances in which we do not receive a corresponding payment in cash. For example, if we hold debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (such as debt instruments with PIK interest or, in
certain cases, increasing interest rates or debt instruments that were issued with warrants), we must include in income each year a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash
representing such income is received by us in the same taxable year. We may also have to include in income other amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as deferred loan origination fees that are paid after origination of the loan or are
paid in non-cash compensation such as warrants or stock. In addition, we may be required to accrue for federal income tax purposes amounts attributable to our investment in our wholly-owned SBIC subsidiary even if such subsidiary is prevented under
SBA rules from making distributions to us attributable to such income.

We anticipate that a portion of our income may
constitute original issue discount or other income required to be included in taxable income prior to receipt of cash. Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in our investment company taxable income for the
year of the accrual, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, even though we will not have received any corresponding cash amount. As a result, we may have difficulty
meeting the annual distribution requirement necessary to obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment under the Code. We may have to sell some of our investments at times and/or at prices we would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity
capital or forgo new investment opportunities for this purpose. If we are not able to obtain cash from other sources, we may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.

We are authorized to borrow funds and to sell assets in order to satisfy distribution requirements. However, under the 1940 Act, we are
not permitted to make distributions to our stockholders while our debt obligations and other senior securities are outstanding unless certain asset coverage tests are met. 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 status as a RIC, including the Diversification Tests. If we dispose of assets in order to meet the Annual
Distribution Requirement or the Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement, we may make such dispositions at times that, from an investment standpoint, are not advantageous.

Certain of our investment practices may be subject to special and complex federal income tax provisions that may, among other things, (1) treat dividends that would otherwise qualify for the
dividends received deduction or constitute qualified dividend income as ineligible for such treatment, (2) disallow, suspend or otherwise limit the allowance of certain losses or deductions, (3) convert lower-taxed long-term capital gain
into higher-taxed short-term capital gain or ordinary income, (4) convert an ordinary loss or a deduction into a capital loss (the deductibility of which is more limited), (5) cause us to recognize income or gain without receipt of a
corresponding distribution of cash, (6) adversely affect the time as to when a purchase or sale of stock or securities is deemed to occur, (7) adversely alter the characterization of certain complex financial transactions and
(8) produce income that will not be qualifying income for purposes of the 90% Income Test. We will monitor our transactions and may make certain tax elections to mitigate the potential adverse effect of these provisions, but there can be no
assurance that any adverse effects of these provisions will be mitigated.

If we purchase shares in a passive foreign
investment company (a PFIC), we may be subject to federal income tax on its allocable share of a portion of any excess distribution received on, or any gain from the disposition of, such shares even if our allocable
share of such income is distributed as a taxable dividend to its stockholders. Additional charges in the nature of interest generally will be imposed on us in respect of deferred taxes arising from any such excess distribution or gain. If we invest
in a PFIC and elects to treat the PFIC as a qualified electing fund under the Code (a QEF), in lieu of the foregoing requirements, we will be required to include in income each year our proportionate share of the ordinary
earnings and net capital gain of the QEF, even if such income is not distributed by the QEF. Alternatively, we may be able to elect to mark-to-market at the end of each taxable year its shares in a PFIC; in this case, we will recognize as ordinary
income our allocable



28



---

##### Table of Contents

share of any increase in the value of such shares, and as ordinary loss our allocable share of any decrease in such value to the extent that any such decrease does not exceed prior increases
included in its income. Under either election, we may be required to recognize in a year income in excess of distributions from PFICs and proceeds from dispositions of PFIC stock during that year, and such income will nevertheless be subject to the
Annual Distribution Requirement and will be taken into account for purposes of the 4% excise tax.

If we fail to satisfy the
90% Distribution Requirement or fail to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, we would be subject to tax in that year on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates, regardless of whether we make any distributions to our stockholders.
Distributions would not be required, and any distributions made in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013 would be taxable to our stockholders as ordinary dividend income that, subject to certain limitations, may be eligible for the 15%
maximum rate to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributees would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction.

Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent
of the stockholders tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain.

|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

Before
you invest in our common stock, you should be aware of various risks, including those described below. You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this Report on Form 10-K, before you
decide whether to make an investment in our common stock. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face, but they are the principal risks associated with an investment in the Company. If any of the following events occur, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, our net asset value and the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We are a new company with a limited operating history.

We were incorporated in May 2009, completed an initial public offering of our common stock in April 2010 and have a limited operating history. We are subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties
associated with any new business, including the risk that we will not achieve our investment objective and that the value of our common stock could decline substantially.

Our investment adviser and the members of its investment committee have limited experience managing a BDC.

The 1940 Act imposes numerous constraints on the operations of BDCs and RICs. For example, under the 1940 Act, BDCs companies are required to invest at least 70% of their total assets primarily in
securities of private 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. Moreover, qualification for taxation as a RIC under subchapter
M of the Code requires satisfaction of source-of-income and diversification requirements and our ability to avoid corporate-level taxes on our income and gains depends on our satisfaction of distribution requirements. The failure to comply with
these provisions in a timely manner could prevent us from qualifying as BDC or RIC or could force us to pay unexpected taxes and penalties, which could be material. Our investment adviser and the majority of the members of our senior management only
have limited experience managing or providing management consulting services to a BDC. Our investment advisers and the members of its investment committees lack of experience in managing a portfolio of assets under such constraints may
hinder their ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and, as a result, achieve our investment objective.

We may
suffer credit losses.

Investment in middle market companies is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk of
credit loss, and therefore our securities may not be suitable for someone with a low tolerance for risk. These risks are likely to increase during an economic recession.

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

Our investments generally are made in private companies. Substantially all of these securities are subject to legal and other restrictions
on resale or will be otherwise 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 had previously recorded our investments. Further, we may face other restrictions on our ability to liquidate an investment in a portfolio company to the extent that
we or an affiliated manager have material non-public information regarding such portfolio company.

##### Table of Contents

There will be uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments.

A large percentage of our portfolio investments are in the form of securities that are not publicly traded. The fair value of securities
and other investments that are not publicly traded may not be readily determinable. We value these securities on a quarterly basis in accordance with our valuation policy, which is at all times consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting
policies (GAAP). Our board of directors utilizes the services of third-party valuation firms to aid it in determining the fair value of these securities. The board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value in good
faith based on the input of our investment adviser and the respective third-party valuation firms. The factors that may be considered in fair value pricing 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 and other relevant factors. Because such valuations, and particularly
valuations of private securities 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. Our net asset value could be adversely affected if our determinations regarding the fair value of our investments were materially higher than the values that we ultimately realize upon the
disposal of such securities.

If we are unable to manage our investments effectively, we may be unable to achieve our investment objective.

Our ability to achieve our investment objective will depend on our ability to manage our business, which will depend, in
turn, on the ability of THL Credit Advisors to identify, invest in and monitor companies that meet our investment criteria. Accomplishing this result largely will be a function of THL Credit Advisors investment process and, in conjunction with
its role as Administrator, its ability to provide competent, attentive and efficient services to us.

We may experience fluctuations in our
periodic operating results.

We could experience fluctuations in our periodic operating results due to a number of factors,
including the interest rates payable on the debt securities we acquire, the default rates on such securities, the level of our expenses (including the interest rates payable on our borrowings), the dividend rates payable on preferred stock we issue,
variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, 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.

Any failure on our part to maintain our status as a BDC would reduce
our operating flexibility.

If we fail to continue to qualify as a BDC, we might be regulated as a closed-end investment
company under the 1940 Act, which would subject us to substantially more regulatory restrictions under the 1940 Act and correspondingly decrease our operating flexibility and could significantly increase our costs of doing business. Furthermore, any
failure to comply with the requirements imposed on BDCs by the 1940 Act could cause the SEC to bring an enforcement action against us.

To
the extent we use debt or preferred stock to finance our investments, changes in interest rates will affect our cost of capital and net investment income.

To the extent we borrow money, or issue preferred stock, to make investments, our net investment income will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds or pay dividends
on preferred stock 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 in the event we use debt
to finance our investments. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would

##### Table of Contents

increase, except to the extent we issue fixed rate debt or preferred stock, which could reduce our net investment income. We expect that our long-term fixed-rate investments will be financed
primarily with equity and long-term debt. We may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Such techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent
permitted by the 1940 Act.

A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher interest rates
applicable to our debt investments. Accordingly, an increase in interest rates would make it easier for us to meet or exceed the incentive fee hurdle rate and may result in a substantial increase of the amount of incentive fees payable to our
investment adviser with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income.

Because we borrow money, there could be increased risk in
investing in our company.

Lenders have fixed dollar claims on our assets that are superior to the claims of stockholders,
and we have granted, and may in the future grant, lenders a security interest in our assets in connection with borrowings. In the case of a liquidation event, those lenders would receive proceeds before our stockholders. In addition, borrowings,
also known as leverage, magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and, therefore, increase the risks associated with investing in our securities. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique. If the value of
our assets increases, then leveraging would cause the net asset value attributable to our common stock to increase more than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Conversely, if the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause the
net asset value attributable to our common stock to decline more than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged. Similarly, any increase in our revenue in excess of interest expense on our borrowed funds would cause our net income to increase
more than it would without the leverage. Any decrease in our revenue would cause our net income to decline more than it would have had we not borrowed funds and could negatively affect our ability to make distributions on common stock. Our ability
to service any debt that we incur will depend largely on our financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures. We and, indirectly, our stockholders will bear the cost associated with our leverage
activity.

We entered into a three-year $115 million syndicated credit facility (the Facility) with ING Capital
LLC (ING). The Facility was expanded to $125 million on March 23, 2011. The Facility will expire on March 11, 2014. The Facility contains financial and operating covenants that could restrict our business activities, including
our ability to declare dividends if we default under certain provisions.

As a BDC, generally we are not permitted to incur
indebtedness unless immediately after such borrowing we have an asset coverage for total borrowings of at least 200% (i.e., the amount of debt may not exceed 50% of the value of our assets). In addition, we may not be permitted to declare any cash
dividend or other distribution on our outstanding common shares, or purchase any such shares, unless, at the time of such declaration or purchase, we have asset coverage of at least 200% after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution, or
purchase price. If this ratio declines below 200%, we may not be able to incur additional debt and may need to sell a portion of our investments to repay some debt when it is disadvantageous to do so, and we may not be able to make distributions. As
of December 31, 2011, there were $5.0 million of borrowings outstanding against the Facility and our asset coverage ratio was over 200%.

We may in the future determine to fund a portion of our investments with preferred stock, which would magnify the potential for gain or loss and the
risks of investing in us in the same way as our borrowings.

Preferred stock, which is another form of leverage, has the
same risks to our common stockholders as borrowings because the dividends on any preferred stock we issue must be cumulative. Payment of such dividends and repayment of the liquidation preference of such preferred stock must take preference over any
dividends or other payments to our common stockholders, and preferred stockholders are not subject to any of our expenses or losses and are not entitled to participate in any income or appreciation in excess of their stated preference.

##### Table of Contents

Our use of borrowed funds to make investments exposes us to risks typically associated with leverage.

We borrow money and may issue additional debt securities or preferred stock to leverage our capital structure. As a
result:



| |  |  | our common shares would be exposed to incremental risk of loss; therefore, a decrease in the value of our investments would have a greater negative
impact on the value of our common shares than if we did not use leverage;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any depreciation in the value of our assets may magnify losses associated with an investment and could totally eliminate the value of an asset to us;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if we do not appropriately match the assets and liabilities of our business and interest or dividend rates on such assets and liabilities, adverse
changes in interest rates could reduce or eliminate the incremental income we make with the proceeds of any leverage;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to pay dividends on our common stock may be restricted if our asset coverage ratio, as provided in the 1940 Act, is not at least 200%, and
any amounts used to service indebtedness or preferred stock would not be available for such dividends;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any credit facility would be subject to periodic renewal by our lenders, whose continued participation cannot be guaranteed;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | such securities would be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility or affecting our
investment or operating policies, and may require us to pledge assets or provide other security for such indebtedness;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | we, and indirectly our common stockholders, bear the entire cost of issuing and paying interest or dividends on such securities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if we issue preferred stock, the special voting rights and preferences of preferred stockholders may result in such stockholders having interests
that are not aligned with the interests of our common stockholders, and the rights of our preferred stockholders to dividends and liquidation preferences will be senior to the rights of our common stockholders;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our common shares;
and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any custodial relationships associated with our use of leverage would conform to the requirements of the 1940 Act, and no creditor would have veto
power over our investment policies, strategies, objectives or decisions except in an event of default or if our asset coverage was less than 200%.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, we are permitted, as a BDC, to issue senior securities only in amounts such that our asset coverage ratio equals at least 200% after each issuance of senior
securities. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test and we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our senior securities at a time when
such sales may be disadvantageous.

There is a risk that we may not make distributions and consequently will become subject to
corporate-level income tax.

We cannot assure you that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make a
specified level of cash distributions or periodically increase our dividend rate.

As a BDC, we are required to carry 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 will be recorded as
unrealized depreciation. Any unrealized



33

##### Table of Contents

depreciation in our investment portfolio could be an indication of a portfolio companys potential inability to meet its repayment obligations to us. This could result in realized losses in
the future and ultimately in reductions of our income available for distribution in future periods.

To qualify as a RIC under
the Code, we must meet certain source-of-income, asset diversification and annual distribution requirements. The annual distribution requirement for a RIC is satisfied if we 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. To the extent we use debt financing or preferred stock, we may become subject to certain asset coverage ratio requirements and other
financial covenants under the terms of our debt or preferred stock, and could in some circumstances also become subject to similar requirements under the 1940 Act, that could, under certain circumstances, restrict us from making distributions
necessary to qualify as a RIC. If we are unable to obtain cash from other sources, or otherwise prohibited from making distributions, we may fail to qualify as a RIC and, thus, may be subject to corporate-level income tax. To qualify as a RIC, we
must also meet certain asset diversification requirements at the end of each calendar quarter. Failure to meet these tests may result in our having to dispose of certain investments quickly in order to prevent the loss of RIC status. Because we
anticipate that most of our investments will be in private companies, any such dispositions could be made at disadvantageous prices and may result in substantial losses. If we fail to qualify as a RIC for any reason and become subject to
corporate-level income tax, the resulting corporate-level income taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions.

We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.

For federal income tax purposes, we may include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as
original issue discount, which may arise if we receive warrants in connection with the making of a loan or possibly in other circumstances, or PIK interest, which represents contractual interest added to the loan balance and due at the end of the
loan term. Such original issue discount, which could be significant relative to our overall investment activities, or increases in loan balances as a result of PIK arrangements are included in income before we receive any corresponding cash
payments. We also may be required to include in income certain other amounts that we do not receive in cash.

Since we may
recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may have difficulty meeting the tax requirement to 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 maintain our status as a RIC. Accordingly, we may have to sell some of our investments at times we would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or reduce new investment originations to
meet these distribution requirements.

We may pay incentive fee on income we do not receive in cash.

That part of the incentive fee payable by us that relates to our net investment income is computed and paid on income that may include
interest that has been accrued but not yet received in cash. If a portfolio company defaults on a loan, it is possible that accrued interest previously used in the calculation of the incentive fee will become uncollectible. Consequently, while we
may make incentive fee payments on income accruals that we may not collect in the future and with respect to which we do not have a formal clawback right against our investment adviser per se, the amount of accrued income written off in any period
will reduce the income in the period in which such write-off was taken and thereby reduce such periods incentive fee payment.

The
highly competitive market in which we operate may limit our investment opportunities.

A number of entities compete with us
to make the types of investments that we make. We compete with other BDCs, public and private funds, commercial and investment banks, CLO funds, commercial financing

##### Table of Contents

companies, and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equity funds. Additionally, because competition for investment opportunities generally has increased among
alternative investment vehicles such as hedge funds, entities have begun to invest in areas in which they had not traditionally invested. As a result of these new entrants, competition for investment opportunities intensified in recent years and may
intensify further in the future. Some of our existing and 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, 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 1940 Act imposes on us as a BDC and that the Code imposes on us as a RIC. We cannot assure you that the competitive pressures we
face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also, as a result of this existing and potentially increasing 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 are dependent upon senior management personnel of our investment adviser for our future success, and if our investment adviser is unable to retain qualified personnel or if our investment adviser
loses any member of its senior management team, our ability to achieve our investment objective could be significantly harmed.

We depend on the members of senior management of THL Credit Advisors, particularly its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, James K. Hunt, its Co-Presidents, W. Hunter Stropp and
Sam W. Tillinghast, its Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Terrence W. Olson, its Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel, Stephanie Paré Sullivan, and its Managing Directors, Christopher J. Flynn and Kunal M.
Soni, as well as other key personnel for the identification, final selection, structuring, closing and monitoring of our investments. These investment team members have critical industry experience and relationships that we will rely on to implement
our business plan. Our future success depends on the continued service of the THL Credit Principals and the rest of our investment advisers senior management team. The departure of any of the members of THL Credit Advisors senior
management or a significant number of the members of its investment team could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our investment objective. As a result, we may not be able to operate our business as we expect, and our ability
to compete could be harmed, which could cause our operating results to suffer. In addition, we can offer no assurance that THL Credit Advisors will remain our investment adviser or our administrator.

Our investment adviser has the right to resign on 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 business, financial condition and results of operations.

THL Credit Advisors has the right, under our investment management agreement, to resign at any time upon not more than 60 days written notice, whether we have found a new 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 market price 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 business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because we expect to distribute substantially all of our net investment income and net realized capital
gains to our stockholders, we will need additional capital to finance our growth and such capital may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

We have elected to be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. If we meet certain requirements, including source of income, asset diversification and distribution
requirements, and if we continue to qualify as a BDC, we will continue to qualify to be a RIC under the Code and will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on income we distribute to our stockholders as dividends, allowing us to substantially reduce
or eliminate our corporate-level tax liability. As a BDC, we are generally required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities, which includes all of our borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at
least 200% at the time we issue any debt or preferred stock. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. Because we will continue to need capital to grow our investment portfolio, this limitation may prevent us from incurring debt or
preferred stock and require us to raise additional equity at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. We cannot assure you that debt and equity financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, and debt financings may be
restricted by the terms of any of our outstanding borrowings. In addition, as a BDC, we are generally not permitted to issue common stock priced below net asset value without stockholder approval. If additional funds are not available to us, we
could be forced to curtail or cease new lending and investment activities, and our net asset value could decline.

Our board of directors
may change our investment objective, operating policies and strategies without prior notice or stockholder approval.

Our
board of directors has the authority to modify or waive certain of our operating policies and strategies without prior notice and without stockholder approval (except as required by the 1940 Act). 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 operating policies and strategies would have on our business, operating results or value of our
stock. Nevertheless, the effects could adversely affect our business and impact our ability to make distributions and cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

Our investment adviser and its affiliates, senior management and employees have certain conflicts of interest.

Our investment adviser, its senior management and employees serve or may serve as investment advisers, officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business.
Accordingly, these individuals may have obligations to investors in those entities or funds, the fulfillment of which might not be in our best interests or the best interests of our stockholders. In addition, certain of the personnel employed by our
investment adviser or focused on our business may change in ways that are detrimental to our business. Any affiliated investment vehicle formed in the future and managed by THL Credit Advisors or its affiliates may invest in asset classes similar to
those targeted by us. As a result, THL Credit Advisors may face conflicts in allocating investment opportunities between us and such other entities. Although THL Credit Advisors will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and
equitable manner, it is possible that we may not be given the opportunity to participate in such investments. In any such case, if THL Credit Advisors forms other affiliates in the future, it is possible we may co-invest on a concurrent basis with
such other affiliates, subject to compliance with applicable regulations and regulatory guidance, as well as applicable allocation procedures. In certain circumstances, negotiated co-investments may be made only if we receive an order from the SEC
permitting us to do so. There can be no assurance when any such order would be obtained or that one will be obtained at all.

There are
potential conflicts of interest between us and the fund managed by us which could impact our investment returns.

On
January 20, 2011, we announced the formation of THL Credit Greenway Fund LLC (Greenway) as a portfolio company of ours. Greenway is an investment fund with $150 million of capital committed by affiliates

of a single institutional investor, and will be managed by us. Certain of our officers serve or may serve in an investment management capacity to Greenway. As a result, investment professionals
may allocate such time and attention as is deemed appropriate and necessary to carry out Greenways operations. In this respect, they may experience diversions of their attention from us and potential conflicts of interest between their work
for us and their work for Greenway in the event that the interests of Greenway run counter to our interests.

Greenway invests
in the same or similar asset classes that we target. These investments may be made at the direction of the same individuals acting in their capacity on behalf of us and Greenway. As a result, there may be conflicts in the allocation of investment
opportunities between us and Greenway. We may or may not participate in investments made by funds managed by us or one of our affiliates.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INVESTMENTS

We invest primarily in junior capital and we may not realize gains from our equity investments.

When we invest in junior capital (such as mezzanine debt and second lien secured debt) as well as first lien senior secured debt, we may
acquire warrants or other equity securities as well. In addition, we may invest directly in the equity securities of portfolio companies. Our goal is ultimately to dispose of such equity interests and realize gains upon our disposition of such
interests. However, the equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. Accordingly, we may not be able to realize gains from our equity interests, and any gains that we do realize on the disposition of
any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses we experience.

Our investments in prospective private and middle
market portfolio companies are risky, and we could lose all or part of our investment.

Investment in private and middle
market companies involves a number of significant risks. Generally, little public information exists about these companies, and we are required to rely on the ability of THL Credit Advisors investment professionals to obtain adequate
information to evaluate the potential returns from investing in these companies. If we are 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. Middle market 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 our realizing any guarantees we may have obtained in connection with our investment. In addition, 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. Additionally, middle market companies 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 our portfolio company and, in turn, on us. Middle market companies also 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.

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 generally
intend to take controlling equity positions in our portfolio companies. To the extent that we do not hold a controlling equity interest in a portfolio company, we are subject to the risk that such portfolio company may make business decisions with
which we disagree, and the stockholders and management of such



37



---

##### Table of Contents

portfolio company may take risks or otherwise act in ways that are adverse to our interests. Due to the lack of liquidity for the debt and equity 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.

In addition, we may not be in a position to control any portfolio company by investing in its debt securities. As a result, we are
subject to the risk that a portfolio company in which we invest may make business decisions with which we disagree and the management of such company, as representatives of the holders of their common equity, may take risks or otherwise act in ways
that do not serve our interests as debt investors.

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

The portfolio companies in which we have invested junior capital usually have, or may be
permitted to incur with certain limitations, other debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, the debt securities in which we invest. 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 are 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. After repaying such senior creditors, such
portfolio company may not have any 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 any distributions on an equal and ratable basis with
other creditors holding such debt in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company.

Additionally, certain loans that we make to portfolio companies may be secured on a second priority basis by the same collateral securing senior secured debt of such companies. The first priority liens on
the collateral will secure the portfolio companys obligations under any outstanding senior debt and may secure certain other future debt that may be permitted to be incurred by the portfolio company under the agreements governing the loans.
The holders of obligations secured by the first priority liens on the collateral will generally control the liquidation of and be entitled to receive proceeds from any realization of the collateral to repay their obligations in full before us. In
addition, the value of the collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from the sale or sales of all of the
collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the loan obligations secured by the second priority liens after payment in full of all obligations secured by the first priority liens on the collateral. If such proceeds are not sufficient to repay amounts
outstanding under the loan obligations secured by the second priority liens, then we, to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the collateral, will only have an unsecured claim against the portfolio companys remaining assets,
if any.

The rights we may have with respect to the collateral securing the junior capital loans we make to 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.

##### Table of Contents

If the assets securing the loans that we make decrease in value, then we may lack sufficient collateral
to cover losses.

We will at times take a security interest in the available assets of these portfolio companies, including
the equity interests of their subsidiaries and, in some cases, the equity interests of our portfolio companies held by their stockholders. There is a risk that the collateral securing these types of 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 a portfolio company to raise additional capital. In
some circumstances, our lien could be subordinated to claims of other creditors. Additionally, 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 these types of loans. Moreover, in the case of most of our investments, we do not have a first lien position on the collateral. Consequently, the fact that a loan may be secured does not guarantee
that we will receive principal and interest payments according to the loans terms, or that we will be able to collect on the loan should we be forced to enforce our remedies.

Economic downturns or recessions could impair the value of the collateral for our loans to our portfolio companies and consequently increase the possibility of an adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.

Many of our portfolio companies are susceptible to economic recessions and may be
unable to repay our loans during such periods. Therefore, our non-performing assets are likely to increase and the value of our portfolio is likely to decrease during such periods. Adverse economic conditions may also 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 funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend
credit to us.

A portfolio companys failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by us or other lenders
could lead to defaults and, potentially, termination of the portfolio companys loans 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 securities that we hold. We may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company. In addition, if a portfolio company goes bankrupt,
even though we may have structured our investment as junior capital, or senior secured debt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which we actually provided significant managerial assistance, if any, to that
portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might re-characterize our debt holding and subordinate all or a portion of our claim to that of other creditors. These events could harm our financial condition and operating results.

We may suffer a loss if a portfolio company defaults on a loan and the underlying collateral is not sufficient.

In the event of a default by a portfolio company on a secured loan, we will only have recourse to the assets collateralizing the loan. If
the underlying collateral value is less than the loan amount, we will suffer a loss. In addition, we often make loans that are unsecured, which are subject to the risk that other lenders may be directly secured by the assets of the portfolio
company. In the event of a default, those collateralized lenders would have priority over us with respect to the proceeds of a sale of the underlying assets. In cases described above, we may lack control over the underlying asset collateralizing our
loan or the underlying assets of the portfolio company prior to a default, and as a result the value of the collateral may be reduced by acts or omissions by owners or managers of the assets.

##### Table of Contents

In the event of bankruptcy of a portfolio company, we may not have full recourse to its
assets in order to satisfy our loan, or our loan may be subject to equitable subordination. In addition, certain of our loans are subordinate to other debt of the portfolio company. If a portfolio company defaults on our loan or on debt senior to
our loan, or in the event of a portfolio company bankruptcy, our loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt receives payment. Where debt senior to our loan exists, the presence of intercreditor arrangements may limit our ability to amend our
loan documents, assign our loans, accept prepayments, exercise our remedies (through standstill periods) and control decisions made in bankruptcy proceedings relating to the portfolio company. Bankruptcy and portfolio company litigation
can significantly increase collection losses and the time needed for us to acquire the underlying collateral in the event of a default, during which time the collateral may decline in value, causing us to suffer losses.

If the value of collateral underlying our loan declines or interest rates increase during the term of our loan, a portfolio company may
not be able to obtain the necessary funds to repay our loan at maturity through refinancing. Decreasing collateral value and/or increasing interest rates may hinder a portfolio companys ability to refinance our loan because the underlying
collateral cannot satisfy the debt service coverage requirements necessary to obtain new financing. If a borrower is unable to repay our loan at maturity, we could suffer a loss which may adversely impact our financial performance.

Our loans could be subject to equitable subordination by a court which would increase our risk of loss with respect to such loans.

Courts may apply the doctrine of equitable subordination to subordinate the claim or lien of a lender against a borrower to claims or
liens of other creditors of the borrower, when the lender or its affiliates is found to have engaged in unfair, inequitable or fraudulent conduct. The courts have also applied the doctrine of equitable subordination when a lender or its affiliates
is found to have exerted inappropriate control over a client, including control resulting from the ownership of equity interests in a client. We have made direct equity investments or received warrants in connection with loans representing
approximately 1.32% of the aggregate outstanding balance of our portfolio as of December 31, 2011. Payments on one or more of our loans, particularly a loan to a client in which we also hold an equity interest, may be subject to claims of
equitable subordination. If we were deemed to have the ability to control or otherwise exercise influence over the business and affairs of one or more of our portfolio companies resulting in economic hardship to other creditors of that company, this
control or influence may constitute grounds for equitable subordination and a court may treat one or more of our loans as if it were unsecured or common equity in the portfolio company. In that case, if the portfolio company were to liquidate, we
would be entitled to repayment of our loan on a pro-rata basis with other unsecured debt or, if the effect of subordination was to place us at the level of common equity, then on an equal basis with other holders of the portfolio companys
common equity only after all of its obligations relating to its debt and preferred securities had been satisfied.

Our failure to make
follow-on investments in our portfolio companies could impair the value of our portfolio.

Following an initial investment
in a portfolio company, we may make additional investments in that portfolio company as follow-on investments in order to: (1) increase or maintain in whole or in part our equity ownership percentage; (2) exercise warrants,
options or convertible securities that were acquired in the original or subsequent financing; or (3) attempt to preserve or enhance the value of our initial investment.

We have the discretion to make any follow-on investments, subject to the availability of capital resources. We may elect not to make follow-on investments or otherwise lack sufficient funds to make those
investments. Our failure to make follow-on investments may, in some circumstances, jeopardize the continued viability of a portfolio company and our initial investment, or may result in a missed opportunity for us to increase our participation in a
successful operation. Even if we have sufficient capital to make a desired follow-on investment,



40



---

##### Table of Contents

we may elect not to make such follow-on investment because we may not want to increase our concentration of risk, because we prefer other opportunities, because we are inhibited by compliance
with BDC requirements or because we desire to maintain our tax status.

Our ability to invest in public companies may be limited in certain
circumstances.

To maintain our status as a BDC, we are not permitted to acquire any assets other than qualifying
assets specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Subject to certain exceptions for follow-on investments and distressed
companies, an investment in an issuer that has outstanding securities listed on a national securities 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 and meets the other specified requirements.

Our base management fee may induce our investment adviser to incur leverage.

Our base management fee is calculated on the basis of our total assets, including assets acquired with the proceeds of
leverage. This may encourage the Advisor to use leverage to increase the aggregate amount of and the return on our investments, even when it may not be appropriate to do so, and to refrain from delevering when it would otherwise be appropriate to do
so. Under certain circumstances, the use of increased leverage may increase the likelihood of default, which would impair the value of our common stock. Given the subjective nature of the investment decisions made by our investment adviser on our
behalf, we will not be able to monitor this conflict of interest.

Our incentive fee may induce our investment adviser to make certain
investments, including speculative investments.

The incentive fee payable by us to THL Credit Advisors may create an
incentive for THL Credit Advisors to make investments on our behalf that are risky or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangement. The way in which the incentive fee payable to THL Credit Advisors is
determined, which is calculated separately in two components as a percentage of the interest and other ordinary income in excess of a quarterly minimum hurdle rate and as a percentage of the realized gain on invested capital, may encourage our THL
Credit Advisors to use leverage or take additional risk to increase the return on our investments. Under certain circumstances, the use of leverage may increase the likelihood of default, which would disfavor the holders of our common stock, or of
securities convertible into our common stock or warrants representing rights to purchase our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock. In addition, THL Credit Advisors receives the incentive fee based, in part, upon net capital
gains realized on our investments. Unlike the portion of the incentive fee based on ordinary income, there is no minimum level of gain applicable to the portion of the incentive fee based on net capital gains. As a result, THL Credit Advisors may
have an incentive to invest more in investments that are likely to result in capital gains as compared to income producing securities or to advance or delay realizing a gain in order to enhance its incentive fee. This practice could result in our
investing in more speculative securities than would otherwise be the case, which could result in higher investment losses, particularly during economic downturns. A rise in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to higher
interest rates applicable to certain of our debt investments and may accordingly result in a substantial increase of the amount of incentive fees payable to our investment adviser with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income.

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, we will bear our ratable share of any such investment companys expenses, including management and performance fees. We will also remain obligated to pay management and incentive fees to THL
Credit Advisors 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 common



41



---

##### Table of Contents

stockholders will bear his or her share of the management and incentive fee of THL Credit Advisors as well as indirectly bear the management and performance fees and other expenses of any
investment companies in which we invest.

We may be obligated to pay our investment adviser incentive compensation payments even if we have
incurred unrecovered cumulative losses from more than three years prior to such payments and may pay more than 20% of our net capital gains as incentive compensation payments because we cannot recover payments made in previous years.

Our investment adviser will be entitled to incentive compensation for each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to a percentage of the excess
of our investment income for that quarter (before deducting incentive compensation) above a threshold return for that quarter and subject to a total return requirement. The general effect of this total return requirement is to prevent payment of the
foregoing incentive compensation except to the extent 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for
the 11 preceding calendar quarters. Consequently, we may pay an incentive fee if we incurred losses more than three years prior to the current calendar quarter even if such losses have not yet been recovered in full. Thus, we may be required to pay
our investment adviser incentive compensation for a fiscal quarter even if there is a decline in the value of our portfolio or we incur a net loss for that quarter. If we pay an incentive fee of 20.0% of our realized capital gains (net of all
realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis) and thereafter experience additional realized capital losses or unrealized capital depreciation, we will not be able to recover any portion of the incentive fee
previously paid.

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

Our investment strategy contemplates that a portion of our investments may be in securities of
foreign companies in order to provide diversification or to complement our U.S. investments although we are required generally to invest at least 70% of our assets in companies organized and having their principal place of business within the U.S.
and its possessions. 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. These risks many be more pronounced for portfolio companies located or operating primarily in emerging
markets, whose economies, markets and legal systems may be less developed.

Although it is anticipated that most of our
investments will be denominated in U.S. dollars, our investments that are denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to the risk that the value of a particular currency may change in relation to the U.S. dollar. 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. As a result, a change in currency exchange rates may adversely
affect our profitability.

Hedging transactions may expose us to additional risks.

While we may enter into transactions to seek to reduce currency exchange rate and interest rate risks, unanticipated changes in currency
exchange rates or interest rates may result in poorer overall investment performance than if we had not engaged in any such hedging transactions. In addition, the degree of correlation



42



---

##### Table of Contents

between price movements of the instruments used in a hedging strategy and price movements in the portfolio positions being hedged may vary. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we may not seek or
be able 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 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.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, THL Credit SBIC, LP, has filed an application with the U.S. Small Business
Administration to obtain a license to act as an SBIC and, if granted, we will be subject to SBA regulations.

Our
wholly-owned subsidiary, THL Credit SBIC, LP (the SBIC), has filed an application to obtain a license to act as an SBIC and, if approved, will be regulated by the SBA. The SBIC license will allow the SBIC to obtain leverage by issuing
SBA-guaranteed debentures, subject to the issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. The SBA regulations require, among other things, that a licensed SBIC be examined periodically and audited by an independent
auditor to determine the SBICs compliance with the relevant SBA regulations.

Under present SBA regulations, a licensed
SBIC can provide capital to those entities that have a tangible net worth not exceeding $18.0 million and an average annual net income after Federal income taxes not exceeding $6.0 million for the two most recent fiscal years. In addition, a
licensed SBIC must devote 25.0% of its investment activity to those entities that have a tangible net worth not exceeding $6.0 million and an average annual net income after Federal income taxes not exceeding $2.0 million for the two most recent
fiscal years. The SBA regulations also provide alternative size standard criteria to determine eligibility, which depend on the industry in which the business is engaged and are based on factors such as the number of employees and gross sales. The
SBA regulations permit licensed SBICs to make long term loans to small businesses, invest in the equity securities of such businesses and provide them with consulting and advisory services. The SBA also places certain limitations on the financing
terms of investments by SBICs in portfolio companies and prohibits SBICs from providing funds for certain purposes or to businesses in a few prohibited industries. Compliance with SBA requirements may cause the SBIC to forego attractive investment
opportunities that are not permitted under SBA regulations.

Further, the SBA regulations require that a licensed SBIC be
periodically examined and audited by the SBA to determine its compliance with the relevant SBA regulations. The SBA prohibits, without prior SBA approval, a change of control of an SBIC or transfers that would result in any person (or a
group of persons acting in concert) owning 10.0% or more of a class of capital stock of a licensed SBIC. If the SBIC fails to comply with applicable SBA regulations, the SBA could, depending on the severity of the violation, limit or prohibit the
SBICs use of debentures, declare outstanding debentures immediately due and payable, and/ or limit the SBIC from making new investments. Such actions by the SBA would, in turn, negatively affect us because the SBIC is our wholly owned
subsidiary. See Item 1. BusinessRegulationSmall Business Administration Regulations.

Our wholly-owned SBIC
subsidiary may be unable to make distributions to us that will enable us to meet or maintain RIC status, which could result in the imposition of an entity-level tax.

In order for us to continue to qualify for RIC tax treatment and to minimize corporate-level taxes, we will be required to distribute substantially all of our net ordinary income and net capital gain
income, including income from certain of our subsidiaries, which includes the income from our SBIC subsidiary. We will be partially dependent on our SBIC subsidiary for cash distributions to enable us to meet the RIC distribution requirements. Our
SBIC subsidiary may be limited by the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, and SBA regulations governing SBICs, from making certain distributions to us that may be necessary to maintain our status as a RIC. We may have to request a waiver of the
SBAs restrictions for our SBIC subsidiary to make certain distributions



43

##### Table of Contents

to maintain our RIC status. We cannot assure you that the SBA will grant such waiver. If our SBIC subsidiary is unable to obtain a waiver, compliance with the SBA regulations may result in loss
of RIC tax treatment and a consequent imposition of an entity-level tax on us.

CERTAIN RISKS
IN THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT

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

Capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability. For example, we believe that beginning
in 2007, and continuing into 2010, the global capital markets entered into a period of disruption as evidenced by a lack of liquidity in the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the re-pricing of credit risk
in the broadly syndicated credit market 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. Such a period of economic disruption and
instability could occur again, having a similar or worse impact on the broader financial and credit markets. Such conditions could also continue for a prolonged period of time. If these conditions occur and then persist, we and other companies in
the financial services sector may be required to, or may choose to, seek access to alternative markets for debt and equity capital. Equity capital may then be difficult to raise if our board of directors does not approve an offering in which we
would issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. In addition, the debt capital that would be available, if at all, may be at a higher cost, and on less favorable terms and conditions at such time. Conversely, the
portfolio companies in which we may invest may not be able to service or refinance their debt, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition as we would experience reduced income or even losses. In a period of such adverse
conditions, the inability to raise capital and the risk of portfolio company defaults may have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The downgrade in the U.S. credit rating could materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poors downgraded the U.S. credit rating to AA+ from its top rank of AAA. The
current U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns have increased the possibility of other credit-rating agency downgrades and an economic slowdown. The downgrade of the U.S. credit rating could have a material adverse effect
on the financial markets and economic conditions in the United States and throughout the world. Additionally, austerity measures necessary to reduce the deficit could accelerate an already slowing economy in the near term.

Downgrading of the U.S. credit rating could negatively impact the trading market for U.S. government securities and would likely impact
the credit risk associated with our investments in U.S. Treasury securities. This could reduce the value of the U.S. Treasury securities in our portfolio. In addition, adverse market and economic conditions that could occur due to a
downgrade of the U.S. credit rating on the United States debt could result in rapidly rising interest rates, a falling dollar, shakier financial markets and slowing or negative economic growth in the near term. These events could
adversely affect our business in many ways, including, but not limited to, adversely impacting our portfolio companies ability to obtain financing, or obtaining financing but at significantly lower valuations than the preceding financing
rounds. If any of these events were to occur, it could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR
OPERATIONS AS A BDC

Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates will be
restricted.

Because we have elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, we are prohibited under the 1940 Act from
participating in certain transactions with certain of our affiliates without the prior approval of our independent directors and, in some cases, of the SEC. Any person that owns, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of our outstanding voting
securities will be our affiliate for purposes of the 1940 Act and we are generally prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to such affiliate, absent the prior approval of our independent directors. The 1940 Act also prohibits certain
joint transactions with certain of our affiliates, which could include investments in the same portfolio company (whether at the same or different times), without prior approval of our independent directors and, in some cases, of the
SEC. We are prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to any person who owns more than 25% of our voting securities or certain of that persons affiliates, or entering into prohibited joint transactions with such persons, absent
the prior approval of the SEC. Similar restrictions limit our ability to transact business with our officers or directors or their affiliates.

Regulations governing our operation as a BDC may limit our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital, which could have a material
adverse impact on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business may in the future require a
substantial amount of capital. We may acquire additional capital from the issuance of senior securities (including debt and preferred stock) or the issuance of additional shares of our common stock. However, we may not be able to raise additional
capital in the future on favorable terms or at all. Additionally, we may only issue senior securities up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act permits us to issue senior securities only in amounts such that our asset
coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such issuance or incurrence. If our assets decline in value and we fail to satisfy this test, we may be required to liquidate a portion of our investments and repay a portion of our
indebtedness at a time when such sales or repayment may be disadvantageous, which could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.



| |  |  | Senior Securities (including debt and preferred stock). As a result of issuing senior securities, we would also be exposed to typical risks
associated with leverage, including an increased risk of loss. If we issue preferred securities, such securities would rank senior to common stock in our capital structure, resulting in preferred stockholders having separate voting
rights, dividend and liquidation rights, and possibly other rights, preferences or privileges more favorable than those granted to holders of our common stock. Furthermore, the issuance of preferred securities could have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stockholders or otherwise be in your best interest.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Additional Common Stock. Our board of directors may decide to issue common stock to finance our operations rather than issuing debt or other
senior securities. As a BDC, we are generally not able to issue our common stock at a price below net asset value without first obtaining required approvals from our stockholders and our independent directors. At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders
on June 9, 2011, our stockholders approved a proposal authorizing us to sell up to 20% of our common stock at a price below the Companys net asset value per share, subject to approval by our board of directors of the offering. Except in
connection with the exercise of warrants or the conversion of convertible securities, 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 at the relevant time. We may also make rights offerings to our stockholders at prices per share less than the net asset value per share, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. If we
raise additional funds by issuing more common stock or senior securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common stock, the percentage ownership of our stockholders at that time would decrease, and such stockholders may experience
dilution.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Additionally, if we do raise additional capital in one or more subsequent financings, until
we are able to invest the net proceeds of such any financing in suitable investments, we will invest in temporary investments, such as cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one
year or less, which we expect will earn yields lower than the interest, dividend or other income that we anticipate receiving in respect of investments in debt and equity securities of our target portfolio companies. As a result, our ability to pay
dividends in the years of operation during which we have such net proceeds available to invest will be based on our ability to invest our capital in suitable portfolio companies in a timely manner. Further, the management fee payable to our
investment adviser, THL Credit Advisors, will not be reduced while our assets are invested in such temporary investments.

Changes in the
laws or regulations governing our business, or changes in the interpretations thereof, and any failure by us to comply with these laws or regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial
condition.

Changes in the laws or regulations or the interpretations of the laws and regulations that govern BDCs, RICs or
non-depository commercial lenders could significantly affect our operations and our cost of doing business. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations and are subject to judicial and administrative decisions that affect our
operations, including our loan originations, maximum interest rates, fees and other charges, disclosures to portfolio companies, the terms of secured transactions, collection and foreclosure procedures and other trade practices. If these laws,
regulations or decisions change, or if we expand our business into jurisdictions that have adopted more stringent requirements than those in which we currently conduct business, we may have to incur significant expenses in order to comply, or we
might have to restrict our operations. In addition, if we do not comply with applicable laws, regulations and decisions, we may lose licenses needed for the conduct of our business and may be subject to civil fines and criminal penalties.

If we do not invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets, we could fail to qualify as a BDC or be precluded from
investing according to our current business strategy, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a BDC, we may not acquire any assets other than qualifying assets unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such acquisition, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets.
See Regulation. We believe that most of the investments that we may acquire in the future will constitute qualifying assets. However, we may be precluded from investing in what we believe are attractive investments if such investments
are not qualifying assets for purposes of the 1940 Act. If we do not invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets, we could be found to be in violation of the 1940 Act provisions applicable to BDCs and possibly lose our status as a
BDC, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, these rules could prevent us from making follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies (which could result in the
dilution of our position) or could require us to dispose of investments at inopportune times in order to come into compliance with the 1940 Act. If we need to dispose of such investments quickly, it may be difficult to dispose of such investments on
favorable terms. For example, we may have difficulty in finding a buyer and, even if we do find a buyer, we may have to sell the investments at a substantial loss.

Loss of status as a RIC would reduce our net asset value and distributable income.

We intend to qualify as a RIC under the Code. As a RIC we would not have to pay federal income taxes on our income (including realized gains) that is distributed to our stockholders, provided that we
satisfy certain distribution and other requirements. Accordingly, we are not permitted under accounting rules to establish reserves for taxes on our unrealized capital gains. If we fail to qualify for RIC status in any year, to the extent that we
had unrealized gains, we would have to establish reserves for taxes, which would reduce our net asset value and the amount potentially available for distribution. In addition, if we, as a RIC, were to decide to make a deemed distribution of net
realized capital gains and retain the net realized capital gains, we would have to



46



---

##### Table of Contents

establish appropriate reserves for taxes that we would have to pay on behalf of stockholders. It is possible that establishing reserves for taxes could have a material adverse effect on the value
of our common stock. See Tax Matters.

If we are unable to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, we will be subject to
corporate-level income tax, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

To maintain our qualification as a RIC under the Code, which is required in order for us to distribute our income without being taxed at
the corporate level and to obtain favorable RIC treatment, we must meet certain income source, asset diversification and annual distribution requirements. To qualify as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code, we must meet certain source-of-income,
asset diversification and annual distribution requirements and maintain our status as a BDC, including:



| |  |  | The annual distribution requirement for a RIC is satisfied if we distribute to our stockholders 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, on an annual basis. Because we may use debt financing, we are subject to an asset coverage ratio requirement under the 1940 Act and we may be subject to certain
financial covenants under our debt arrangements 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 obtain at least 90% of our income for each year from dividends, interest, gains from the sale of
stock or securities or similar sources.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The asset diversification requirement will be satisfied if we meet certain asset diversification requirements at the end of each quarter of our taxable
year. To satisfy these requirements, at least 50% of the value of our assets must consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs, and other acceptable securities; and no more than 25% of the value of our
assets can be invested in the securities, other than U.S. government securities or securities of other RICs, of one issuer, of two or more issuers that are controlled, as determined under applicable Internal Revenue 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. Failure to meet these 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.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Satisfying these requirements may require us to take actions we would not otherwise take, such as selling
investments at unattractive prices to satisfy diversification, distribution or source of income requirements. In addition, while we are authorized to borrow funds in order to make distributions, under the 1940 Act we are not permitted to make
distributions to stockholders while we have debt obligations or other senior securities outstanding unless certain asset coverage tests are met. If we fail to qualify as a RIC for any reason and become or remain subject to
corporate-level 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. Such a failure would have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial conditions, and thus, our stockholders.

RISKS RELATED TO
AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES

Our common stock price may
be volatile and may fluctuate substantially.

As with any stock, the price of our common stock will fluctuate with market
conditions and other factors. Our common stock is intended for long-term investors and should not be treated as a trading vehicle. Shares of closed-end management investment companies, which are structured similarly to us, frequently trade at a



47

##### Table of Contents

discount from their net asset value. Our shares may trade at a price that is less than the offering price. This risk may be greater for investors who sell their shares in a relatively short
period of time after completion of the offering.

The market price and liquidity of the market for our common shares may be
significantly affected by numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance. These factors include:



| |  |  | significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of BDCs or other companies in the sector in which we operate, which are not
necessarily related to the operating performance of these companies;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in regulatory policies or tax guidelines, particularly with respect to RICs or BDCs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | loss of RIC status;
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | changes in earnings or variations in operating results;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the value of our portfolio of investments;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any shortfall in revenue or net income or any increase in losses from levels expected by investors or securities analysts;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | departure of key personnel from our investment adviser;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | operating performance of companies comparable to us;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic trends and other external factors; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | loss of a major funding source.
| | - |  | -------------------------------

The impact of recent financial reform legislation on us is uncertain.

In
light of current conditions in the U.S. and global financial markets and the U.S. and global economy, legislators, the presidential administration and regulators have increased their focus on the regulation of the financial services industry. The
Dodd-Frank Act became effective on July 21, 2010, although many provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act have delayed effectiveness or will not become effective until the relevant federal agencies issue new rules to implement the Dodd-Frank Act.
Nevertheless, the Dodd-Frank Act may have a material adverse impact on the financial services industry as a whole and on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect the Dodd-Frank Act or its
implementing regulations will have on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Sales of substantial amounts of our
common stock in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

The shares of our
common stock beneficially owned by our principal stockholders are generally available for resale, subject to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the availability of
such common stock for sale, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices for our common stock. If this occurs and continues, it could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities should we desire to do so.

Certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could deter takeover attempts
and have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

The Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of
incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us. We have also adopted measures that may make it difficult for a third party to obtain control of us,
including provisions of our

articles of incorporation dividing our board of directors into three classes with the term of one class expiring at each annual meeting of stockholders. These anti-takeover provisions may inhibit
a change in control in circumstances that could give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the market price of our common stock.

Our common stock may trade below its net asset value per share, which limits our ability to raise additional equity capital.

If our common stock is trading below its net asset value per share, we will generally not be able to issue additional shares of our common stock at its market price without first obtaining the approval
for such issuance from our stockholders and our independent directors. Shares of BDCs, including shares of our common stock, have traded at discounts to their net asset values. As of December 31, 2011, our net asset value per share was $13.24.
The last reported sale price of a share of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on March 7, 2012 was $12.71. At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 9, 2011, our stockholders approved a proposal authorizing us to sell
up to 20% of our common stock at a price below the Companys net asset value per share, subject to approval by our board of directors of the offering. If our common stock trades below net asset value, the higher the cost of equity capital may
result in it being unattractive to raise new equity, which may limit our ability to grow. The risk of trading below net asset value is separate and distinct from the risk that our net asset value per share may decline. We cannot predict whether
shares of our common stock will trade above, at or below our net asset value.

The net asset value per share of our common stock may be
diluted if we sell shares of our common stock in one or more offerings at prices below the then current net asset value per share of our common stock or securities to subscribe for or convertible into shares of our common stock.

At our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 9, 2011, our stockholders approved a proposal authorizing us to sell up to 20% of our
common stock at a price below the Companys net asset value per share, subject to approval by our board of directors of the offering. If we were to issue shares at a price below net asset value, such sales would result in an immediate dilution
to existing common stockholders, which would include a reduction in the net asset value per share as a result of the issuance. This dilution would also include a proportionately greater decrease in a stockholders interest in our earnings and
assets and voting interest in us than the increase in our assets resulting from such issuance.

In addition, at our 2011
Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders authorized us to sell or otherwise issue warrants or securities to subscribe for or convert into shares of our common stock subject to certain limitations. Such authorization has no expiration.

Any decision to sell shares of our common stock below its then current net asset value per share or securities to subscribe
for or convert into shares of our common stock would be subject to the determination by our board of directors that such issuance is in our and our stockholders best interests.

If we were to sell shares of our common stock below its then current net asset value per share, such sales would result in an immediate
dilution to the net asset value per share of our common stock. This dilution would occur as a result of the sale of shares at a price below the then current net asset value per share of our common stock and a proportionately greater decrease in the
stockholders interest in our earnings and assets and their voting interest in us than the increase in our assets resulting from such issuance. Because the number of shares of common stock that could be so issued and the timing of any issuance
is not currently known, the actual dilutive effect cannot be predicted.

In addition, if we issue warrants or securities to
subscribe for or convert into shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations, the exercise or conversion price per share could be less than net asset value per share at the time of exercise or conversion (including through the operation
of anti-dilution protections). Because

we would incur expenses in connection with any issuance of such securities, such issuance could result in a dilution of the net asset value per share at the time of exercise or conversion. This
dilution would include reduction in net asset value per share as a result of the proportionately greater decrease in the stockholders interest in our earnings and assets and their voting interest than the increase in our assets resulting from
such issuance.

We incur significant costs as a result of being a publicly traded company.

As a publicly traded company, we incur legal, accounting and other expenses, including costs associated with the periodic reporting
requirements applicable to a company whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as well as additional corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, and other rules implemented by the SEC.

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol TCRD. We completed our initial public offering of common stock on April 21, 2010 at a price of $13.00
per share. Prior to such date there was no public market for our common stock. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the range of high and low sales prices for our common stock, as reported on The NASDAQ Global Select Market:

Stock Performance Graph

This graph compares the return on our
common stock with that of the Standard & Poors 500 Stock Index and the Russell 2000 Financial Services Index, for the period from April 21, 2010 (initial public offering) through December 31, 2011. The graph assumes that, on
April 21, 2010, a person invested $100 in each of our common stock, the S&P 500 Index, and the Russell 2000 Financial Services Index. The graph measures total stockholder return, which takes into account both changes in stock price and
dividends. It assumes that dividends paid are invested in like securities.

Sales of unregistered securities

On July 23, 2009, we issued 6,700 shares of common stock at a price of $15.00 per share to THL Credit Opportunities, L.P.

On April 20, 2010, in anticipation of completing our initial public offering and formally commencing principal operations, we
entered into a purchase and sale agreement with THL Credit Opportunities, L.P. and THL Credit Partners BDC Holdings, L.P. (BDC Holdings), to effectuate the sale by THL Credit Opportunities, L.P. to us of certain securities valued at
$62.1 million, as determined by our board of directors, and on the same day issued 4,140,496 shares of common stock to BDC Holdings valued at $15.00 per share pursuant to such agreement in exchange for the aforementioned securities.

On April 21, 2010 concurrent with our initial public offering, we sold 6,307,692 share of its common stock to BDC Holdings at $13.00
per share that was not subject to an underwriting discount and commission.

We issued a total of 304,093 and 124,219 shares of
common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The issuance was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The aggregate price for the shares
of common stock issued under the dividend reinvestment plan was $4.0 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Issuer purchases of equity securities

None.

Dividends

We have elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to maintain our status as a regulated investment company, we are required to (1) distribute at
least 90% of our investment company taxable income and (2) distribute at least 98% of our ordinary income for each calendar year and 98.2% of our net capital gains for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year to avoid
excise tax. We intend to make distributions to stockholders on a quarterly basis of substantially all of our net investment income. In addition, although we intend to make distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually, out
of assets legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the BDC asset coverage test for borrowings applicable to us as
a BDC under the 1940 Act.

The following table summarizes our dividends declared and paid or to be paid on all shares
to date:

|October 27, 2011  |  | December 15, 2011  |  | December 30, 2011  |  | $0.28           
|March 6, 2012     |  | March 20, 2012     |  | March 30, 2012     |  | $0.29           
|March 6, 2012     |  | March 20, 2012     |  | March 30, 2012     |  | $0.05           

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific
level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our status as a regulated investment
company. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions at a particular level.

On March 6, 2012,
our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.29 per share, payable on March 30, 2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2012. The dividend will be paid out of net income earned in the period from
January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012.

On March 6, 2012, our board of directors declared a special dividend
of $0.05 per share, payable on March 30, 2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2012. The dividend will be paid out of capital gains realized in 2011.

We maintain an opt in dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, unless stockholders specifically
elect to have their dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, stockholders will receive all such dividends in cash. With respect to our dividends and distributions paid to stockholders during the year ended
December 31, 2011, dividends reinvested pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan totaled $4.0 million.

Under the terms
of our dividend reinvestment plan, dividends will primarily be paid in newly issued shares of common stock. However, we reserve the right to purchase shares in the open market in connection with the implementation of the plan. This feature of the
plan means that, under certain circumstances, we may issue shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value per share, which could cause our stockholders to experience dilution.

Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated profits and earnings would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent
of the stockholders tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. Tax characteristics of all dividends will be reported to stockholders, as appropriate, on Form 1099-DIV after the end of the year. Our board of
directors presently intends to declare and pay quarterly dividends. Our ability to pay dividends could be affected by future business performance, liquidity, capital needs, alternative investment opportunities and loan covenants.

The tax character of distributions declared and paid in 2011 represented $19.6 million from ordinary income, $1.0 million from capital
gains and $0 from tax return of capital. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to certain components of net assets to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These adjustments have no affect on net
asset value per share. Permanent differences between financial and tax reporting at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $0.1 million and $0.03 million, respectively.

Overview

THL Credit, Inc., or the Company, was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 26, 2009 and initially funded on July 23, 2009. We commenced principal operations on April 21, 2010. Our
investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation, primarily through the origination of privately negotiated investments in debt and equity securities in middle market companies.

We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development
company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or 1940 Act. As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in qualifying
assets, including securities of private or thinly traded public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than qualifying assets specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the
acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in eligible portfolio companies. Under the relevant SEC rules, the term eligible
portfolio company includes all private companies, companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, and certain public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market
capitalization of less than $250 million, in each case organized in the United States.

On April 21, 2010, we completed
our initial public offering, formally commencing principal operations, and sold 9,000,000 shares of our common stock through a group of underwriters at a price of $13.00 per share, less an underwriting discount and commissions totaling $0.8125 per
share. Concurrently, we sold 6,307,692 shares of our common stock to BDC Holdings at $13.00 per share that was not subject to an underwriting discount and commission. We received $191.7 million of total net proceeds for the aforementioned
offerings.

On May 26, 2010, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option under the underwriting agreement and
elected to purchase an additional 337,000 shares of common stock at $13.00 per share resulting in additional net proceeds of $4.1 million.

We have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification
requirements. Pursuant to these elections, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income we distribute to our stockholders.

Portfolio Composition and Investment Activity

On April 20, 2010, in
anticipation of completing an initial public offering and formally commencing principal operations, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with THL Credit Opportunities, L.P. and BDC Holdings, to effectuate the sale by THL Credit
Opportunities, L.P. to us of certain securities valued at $62.1 million, as determined by our board of directors, and on the same day, issued 4,140,496 shares of common stock to BDC Holdings valued at $15.00 per share pursuant to such agreement in
exchange for the aforementioned securities. Subsequently, we filed an election to be regulated as a BDC.

Portfolio Composition

We completed the year ended December 31, 2011 with $267.0 million (at fair value) invested in twenty-four
companies, including THL Credit Greenway Fund LLC (Greenway). We completed the year ended December 31, 2010 with $153.5 million (at fair value) invested in thirteen companies. As of December 31, 2011, the portfolio was invested
33.6% in first lien debt, 22.5% in second lien debt, 38.1% in subordinated debt, 4.5%

in income-producing investments in funds, and 1.3% in equity. As of December 31, 2010, the portfolio was invested 22.9% in first lien debt, 22.1% in second lien debt, 43.4% in subordinated
debt, 8.3% in income-producing investments in funds, and 3.3% in equity.

At December 31, 2011, our average portfolio
company investment, exclusive of Greenway, at amortized cost and fair value was approximately $11.4 million and $11.6 million, respectively and our largest portfolio company investment by amortized cost and fair value was approximately $18.4 million
and $19.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2010, our average portfolio company investment at amortized cost and fair value was approximately $11.7 million and $11.8 million, respectively and our largest portfolio company investment by
amortized cost and fair value was approximately $14.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2011,
40.0% of our debt investments bore interest based on floating rates (subject to interest rate floors), such as LIBOR, and 60.0% bore interest at fixed rates. At December 31, 2010, 15.5% of our debt investments bore interest based on floating
rates (subject to interest rate floors), such as LIBOR, and 84.5% bore interest at fixed rates. In the future, we expect that additional loans in our portfolio will have floating rates.

The weighted average yield of the debt and income-producing investments in funds in our portfolio at their current cost was 14.0% at
December 31, 2011 as compared to 16.6% at December 31, 2010. The weighted average yield on our debt securities at their current cost was 13.8% at December 31, 2011 as compared to 15.8% at December 31, 2010. Yields are computed
using interest rates and dividend yields as of the balance sheet date and include amortization of upfront loan origination fees, original issue discount and market premium or discount. Yields exclude common equity investments, preferred equity
investments, and cash and cash equivalents.

Our portfolio companies currently have an average EBITDA of approximately $26
million based on the latest available financial information and our weighted average attachment point in the capital structure of our portfolio companies is approximately 3.1 times EBITDA.

Investment Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2011,
we made $141.8 million ($144.5 million at par) of investments in fourteen new portfolio companies and three existing portfolio companies, including our investment in Greenway. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we made $158.4 million
($160.0 million at par) of investments in eight new portfolio companies and five portfolio companies purchased from THL Credit Opportunities, L.P. in connection with our initial public offering in April 2010. At December 31, 2011, our debt
investments included $68.1 million of first lien, $42.0 million of second lien, and $31.3 million of subordinated loans and had a weighted average yield of 12.6%. At December 31, 2010, the debt component of our investments included $35.1
million of first lien, $34.0 million of second lien, and $66.6 million of subordinated loans and had a weighted average yield of 15.8%.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we received $34.1 million in proceeds principally from prepayments of our investments in Intelligrated, Inc., SiVance, LLC, Anytime Worldwide, LLC
(Anytime) and the paydown and amortization of certain other investments. These proceeds included $1.1 million of prepayment premiums, of which approximately half are related to Anytime. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we
received $7.2 million and $1.5 million, in proceeds from sales of investments and proceeds from paydown of investments, respectively. There were no prepayment premiums recognized in connection with these transactions. The frequency or volume
of any prepayments may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

As of December 31, 2009, our primary
operating activities had not commenced. We commenced principal operations on April 21, 2010. Prior to April 21, 2010, our activity was limited to offering activities, except for the purchase of $62.1 million portfolio on April 20,
2010 in connection with our initial public offering.

Our level of investment activity can vary substantially from period to
period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of
investments we make. Our pipeline remains active, and the number of transactions we reviewed in 2011 exceeded our 2010 transaction levels.

Investment Risk

The value of our investments will generally fluctuate with, among other things, changes in prevailing interest rates, general economic conditions, the condition of certain financial markets, developments
or trends in any particular industry and the financial condition of the issuer. During periods of limited liquidity and higher price volatility, our ability to dispose of investments at a price and time that we deem advantageous may be impaired.

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the
issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty.
Lower-quality debt securities can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods
of high interest rates.

Managed Fund

On January 14, 2011, THL Credit Greenway Fund LLC (Greenway) was formed as a Delaware limited liability company. Greenway is a portfolio company of ours. Greenway is a closed-end
investment fund which provides for no liquidity or redemption options and is not readily marketable. Greenway operates under a limited liability agreement dated January 19, 2011 (the Agreement). Greenway will continue in
existence until January 14, 2021, subject to earlier termination pursuant to certain terms of the Agreement. The term may also be extended for up to three additional one-year periods pursuant to certain terms of the Agreement. Greenway has
a two year investment period.

Greenway has $150.0 million of capital committed by affiliates of a single institutional
investor, and is managed by us through the investment professionals that serve on our investment committee. Our capital commitment to Greenway is $0.02 million. As of December 31, 2011, $116.0 million of capital had been called by Greenway and
our portion of total called capital was $0.01 million. As of December 31, 2011, the value of our interest in Greenway was $0.01 million and is reflected in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

As manager of Greenway, we act as the investment adviser to Greenway and are entitled to receive certain fees. As a result, Greenway is
classified as an affiliate of ours. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we earned $1.8 million in fees related to Greenway, which are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31,
2011, $0.4 million of fees related to Greenway were included in Due from affiliate on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Greenway invests in securities similar to those of ours pursuant to investment and allocation guidelines which address, among other things, the size of the borrowers, the types of transactions and the
concentration and investment ratio amongst Greenway and us. However, we have the discretion to invest in other securities.

Investment
in Fund

We have invested in membership interests in LCP Capital Fund, LLC, or LCP, a private investment company that
was organized to participate in investment opportunities that arise when a special purpose entity, or SPE, or sponsor thereof, needs to raise capital to achieve ratings, regulatory, accounting, tax, or other objectives. LCP is a closed investment
vehicle which provides for no liquidity or redemption options and is not readily marketable. LCP is managed by an unaffiliated third party. As of December 31, 2011, we had contributed $12.0 million of capital in the form of membership
interests in LCP, which is invested in an underlying SPE referred to as Series 2005-01. Our exposure is limited to the amount of our contributed capital.

Our contributed capital in LCP is maintained in a collateral account held by a third-party custodian, who is neither affiliated with us nor with LCP, and acts as collateral on certain credit default swaps
for the Series 2005-01 for which LCP receives fixed premium payments throughout the year, adjusted for expenses incurred by LCP. The SPE purchases assets on a non-recourse basis and LCP agrees to reimburse the SPE up to a specified

##### Table of Contents

amount for potential losses. LCP holds the contributed cash invested for an SPE transaction in a segregated account that secures the payment obligation of LCP. We expect to receive distributions
from LCP on a quarterly basis. Such distributions are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest income in the period earned. LCP has a remaining life of 19 years; however, it is currently expected that Series 2005-01 will
terminate on February 15, 2013, if not extended prior to this date pursuant to the terms of Series 2005-1 SPE. Regardless of the date of dissolution, LCP has the right to receive amounts held in the collateral account if there is an event
of default under LCPs operative agreements. LCP may have other series which will have investments in other SPEs to which we will not be exposed.

Asset Quality

We view active portfolio monitoring as a vital part
of our investment process. We consider board observation rights, regular dialogue with company management and sponsors, and detailed internally generated monitoring reports to be critical to our performance. We have developed a monitoring template
that promotes compliance with these standards and that is used as a tool by THL Credit Advisors investment committee to assess investment performance relative to plan. In addition, our portfolio companies may rely on us to provide financial
and capital market expertise and may view us as a value-added resource.

As part of the monitoring process, THL Credit
Advisors continually assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and will rate them based on the following categories, which we refer to as THL Credit Advisors investment performance rating, or IPR:

1  Performing at or above plan.

2  Watch / minor risk. Portfolio company operating below plan but in compliance with financial covenants and performance is expected to improve.

3  Significant risk. Portfolio company performing materially below plan and may be in default of financial covenants. Loss of
principal not expected but returns likely impaired.

4  Potential impairment. Focus is on preservation of capital.

For any investment rated 2, 3 or 4, our manager increases its level of focus and prepares regular updates for the investment
committee summarizing current operating results, material impending events and recommended actions.

The Advisor monitors and,
when appropriate, changes the investment ratings assigned to each investment in our portfolio. In connection with our investment valuation process, the Advisor and Board of Directors review these investment ratings on a quarterly basis. Our average
investment rating was 1.25 and 1.17 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The following is a distribution of the investment ratings of our portfolio companies at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30
days or more and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. However, we may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. If the fair value of a
loan is below cost, we may cease recognizing paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest and/or the accretion of a discount on the debt investment until such time that the fair value equals or exceeds cost. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31,
2010, we had no loans on non-accrual.

We commenced principal operations on April 21, 2010. Prior to April 21, 2010, our activity was limited to offering activities, except for the purchase of $62.1 million portfolio on
April 20, 2010 in connection with our initial public offering.

The principal measure of our financial performance is net
increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income (loss), net realized gain (loss) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Net investment income (loss) is the difference between our income from
interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating expenses. Net realized gain (loss) on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost. Net
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.

Comparison of the
Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and for the period ended December 31, 2009

Revenues and Operating
Income

We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest on the debt we hold. Our investments in fixed income
instruments generally have an expected maturity of five to seven years, and typically bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest on our debt securities is generally payable quarterly. Payments of principal of our debt investments may be
amortized over the stated term of the investment, deferred for several years or due entirely at maturity. In some cases, our debt instruments and preferred stock investments may defer payments of dividends or pay interest in-kind, or PIK. Any
outstanding principal amount of our debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest will generally become due at the maturity date. The level of interest income we receive is directly related to the balance of interest-bearing investments
multiplied by the weighted average yield of our investments. We expect that the dollar amount of interest and any dividend income that we earn to increase as the size of our investment portfolio increases. In addition, we may generate revenue in the
form of fees from the management of Greenway, prepayment fees, commitment, loan origination, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing significant managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Investment income for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $37.4 million as compared to $12.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2010. The increase in our investment income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to $32.8 million of interest income on debt securities and cash equivalents (including $2.6 million of PIK interest,
$1.1 million of prepayment premiums, of which approximately half is related to Anytime, and $2.1 million of accretion of discounts and other fees, of which approximately a quarter is related to Anytime), $2.1 million of interest income on
income-producing equity securities, $1.8 million of fees related to Greenway and $0.7 million of other income and dividend income. Our investment income for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily attributable to $12.2 million of
interest income on debt securities and cash equivalents (including $0.9 million of PIK interest and $0.4 million of accretion of discounts and other fees) and $0.1 million of other income. As of December 31, 2009, our primary operating
activities had not commenced. We commenced principal operations on April 21, 2010. Prior to April 21, 2010, our activity was limited to offering activities, except for the purchase of $62.1 million portfolio on April 20, 2010 in
connection with our initial public offering.

The increases in investment income were due to the growth in the overall
investment portfolio in 2011 and the closing of Greenway in January 2011.

##### Table of Contents

In certain investment transactions, we may provide advisory services. For services that are
separately identifiable and external evidence exists to substantiate fair value, income is recognized as earned. We had no income from advisory services for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and for the period ended December 31,
2009.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of a base management fee, an incentive fee, and expenses reimbursable under the investment management agreement and the allocable portion of overhead
under the administration agreement (administrator expenses). The base management fee compensates the Advisor for work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. Our investment management agreement
and administration agreement provides that we will reimburse the Advisor for costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor for facilities, office equipment and utilities allocable to the performance by the Advisor of its duties under the agreements, as
well as any costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor relating to any administrative or operating services provided by the Advisor to us. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations and transactions.

Operating expenses totaled $16.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and consisted of incentive fees, base management fees,
administrator expenses, fees related to our credit facility, professional fees, insurance expenses, directors fees, and other general and administrative expenses.

The base management fees for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $4.0 million, as provided for in the investment management agreement. Incentive fees for the year ended December 31, 2011 were
$4.8 million and include $0.8 million reflecting the potential capital gains incentive fee that would be payable to the Advisor as if all unrealized appreciation were realized. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will
be realized in the future. Accordingly, such fee, as calculated and accrued is currently not, and would not necessarily be, payable under the investment management agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of capital gains
incentive fees in subsequent periods. The accrued incentive fee related to capital gains may differ from the actual incentive fee that may be paid to the Advisor depending on whether the Company is ultimately able to generate a net realized capital
gain. Approximately $0.4 million of the potential capital gains fee for the year ended December 31, 2011 was related to unrealized appreciation on investments in periods prior to 2011. Such amounts were not material to current or prior
periods consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2011, $1.6 million of incentive fees are currently payable to the Advisor pursuant to the terms of the investment management agreement and $0.3 million of incentive fees
incurred were generated from deferred interest (i.e. PIK and certain discount accretion) and are not payable until such amounts are received in cash. There was no such potential capital gains incentive fee accrual for the year ended
December 31, 2010. The base management fees for the year ended December 30, 2010 was $2.7 million as provided for in the investment management agreement. No incentive fees were payable as of December 31, 2010, as the Company had not
yet achieved a minimum hurdle rate related to the pre-incentive fee net investment income or realized any capital gains. The increase in base management fees and incentive fee expenses for the respective periods is due to the growth in both the
portfolio and net investment income and in part related to the partial quarter of results for the same period in the prior year due to the timing of THL Credits initial public offering in April 2010.

Administrator expenses and expenses for professional fees, insurance expenses, directors fees, and other general and administrative
expense (other expenses) for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $2.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as compared to $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase is due to growth
in the portfolio, which is in part related to the partial period of results for the same periods in the prior year due to the timing of our initial public offering in April 2010.

As of December 31, 2009, our primary operating activities had not commenced. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we incurred
organization costs of $0.2 million, which included organizational expenses.

##### Table of Contents

These costs represented our only operating activities from May 26, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2009. These organization costs included, among other items, the cost of legal
services pertaining to our organization and the incorporation of our business. Certain of these costs were paid on our behalf by an affiliate.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, fees and expenses related to our credit facility, including amortization of deferred financing costs, were $1.7 million. Borrowings and repayments under the
credit facility were $28.5 million and $23.5 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011. There were no borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2010 and the period ended December 31, 2009.

We expect certain of our operating expenses, including administrator expenses, professional fees and other general and administrative
expenses to decline as a percentage of our total assets during periods of growth and increase as a percentage of our total assets during periods of asset declines. We expect operating expenses, excluding base management and incentive fees, and costs
related to our credit facility, to continue to generally range between $1.4 million to $1.5 million per quarter.

Net
Investment Income

Net investment income was $21.0 million, or $1.04 per common share based on a weighted average of
20,167,092 common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $6.0 million, or $0.31 per common share based on a weighted average of 19,762,756 common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2010. The
increase in net investment income is attributable to an increase in our origination activity and growth in the portfolio. For the period from May 26, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2009, net investment loss was ($0.2) million, or
($25.61) per common share based on a weighted average of 6,700 common shares outstanding for the period.

Net Realized
Gains and Losses

We measure realized gains or losses 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.

We recognized realized gains of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, in connection with the monetization of our equity position in Anytime Fitness in December 2011. This gain is being
distributed to our stockholders as part of a $0.05 per share special dividend declared by our Board of Directors on March 6, 2012. We did not recognize any realized gains or losses on our portfolio company investments during the year ended
December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, our primary operating activities had not commenced and therefore had no portfolio company investments.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation of Investments

Net change in
unrealized appreciation primarily reflects the change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including the reversal or previously recorded appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

Net change in unrealized appreciation on investments totaled $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $1.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 2010. For the period from May 26, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2009, our primary operating activities had not commenced and therefore had no portfolio company investments. The increase in
unrealized appreciation on our investments was driven primarily by changes in the capital market conditions and in the financial performance of certain portfolio companies.

Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

Net increase
in net assets resulting from operations totaled $24.1 million, or $1.20 per common share based on a weighted average of 20,167,092 common shares for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $7.8 million, or $0.39 per common share based
on a weighted average of 19,762,756 common shares outstanding, for

##### Table of Contents

the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in net assets resulting from operations is due to the continued growth in net investment income, which is a result of growing our portfolio.
For the period from May 26, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2009, net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was ($0.2) million, or ($25.61) per common share based on a weighted average of 6,700 common shares outstanding
for the period.

Financial condition, liquidity and capital resources

Cash Flows from Operating and Financing Activities

Our operating activities used cash of $87.2 million and $83.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, primarily in connection with the purchase of
investments. Our financing activities used cash of $17.4 million primarily for the payment of quarterly dividend distributions to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2010, our financing
activities provided cash of $193.5 million primarily from our common stock offering.

Our liquidity and capital resources are
derived from our credit facility and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. Our primary use of funds from operations includes investments in portfolio companies and other operating expenses we
incur, as well as the payment of dividends to the holders of our common stock. We used, and expect to continue to use, these capital resources as well as proceeds from turnover within our portfolio and from public and private offerings of securities
to finance our investment objectives. To that end, we have an effective shelf registration statement, pursuant to which we expect to raise additional capital to support our future growth through future equity offerings, issuances of senior
securities and/or future borrowings, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. However, there can be no assurance that these capital resources will be available to us when we are assessing capital markets.

As of December 31, 2011, we had cash of $5.6 million and no cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash
equivalents of $110.1 million.

Credit Facility

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined
in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of December 31, 2011, we had $5.0 million of borrowings outstanding.

On March 11, 2011, we entered into a three-year $115 million syndicated credit facility (the Facility) with ING Capital LLC (ING) with an accordion feature that provides for
expansion of the Facility up to $125 million, subject to customary conditions. The Facility was expanded to $125 million on March 23, 2011. The Facility will expire on March 11, 2014.

The Facility allows for us to borrow money at a rate of (i) LIBOR plus 3.50% with no LIBOR floor or (ii) 2.5% per annum
plus an alternate base rate based on the highest rate of the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or three month LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum. The Facility requires the payment of a non-use fee at a rate of 1.00% per annum when we
are using 50% or less of the Facility, and 0.50% per annum when we are using more than 50% of the Facility. Borrowings under the Facility are based on a borrowing base. The Facility generally requires payment of interest on a quarterly
basis for loans bearing interest at the alternate base rate, and at the end of the applicable interest period for loans bearing interest at LIBOR. All outstanding principal is due upon maturity. The Facility also requires mandatory prepayment of
interest and principal upon certain customary triggering events (including, without limitation, the disposition of assets or the issuance of certain securities).

Our Facility has certain collateral requirements and/or financial covenants, including covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens,
(b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that

##### Table of Contents

prohibit liens on certain properties of the ours and our subsidiaries, and (e) compliance with certain financial maintenance standards including (i) minimum stockholders equity,
(ii) a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities) to total indebtedness, of ours and our subsidiaries, of not less than 2.25:1.0, (iii) minimum liquidity, (iv) minimum net worth, and (v) a consolidated interest coverage
ratio. In addition to the financial maintenance standards, described in the preceding sentence, borrowings under the Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different
advance rates to different types of assets in our portfolio.

The Facility documents also include default provisions such as
the failure to make timely payments under the Facility, the occurrence of a change in control, and the failure by us to materially perform under the operative agreements governing the facility, which, if not complied with, could, at the option
of the lenders under the Facility, accelerate repayment under the Facility, thereby materially and adversely affecting our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Each loan originated under the Facility is subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions. We cannot be assured that we will be able to borrow funds under the Facility at any particular time or at all. The Company is currently in compliance with all financial covenants under the Facility.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we borrowed $28.5 million and made $23.5 million of repayments under the Facility. As of
December 31, 2011, there were $5.0 million of borrowings outstanding.

Other

We have received a Greenlight letter allowing us to file an application with the Investment Division of the Small Business
Administration, or the SBA, to license a Small Business Investment Company, or SBIC. We submitted our application, which was formally accepted for processing by the SBA on September 21, 2011. There can be no assurance that we will be able
obtain such license and capitalize such SBIC with sufficient regulatory capital to borrow the maximum amount available.

THL
Credit SBIC, LP (the SBIC LP) and its general partner, THL Credit SBIC GP, LLC (the SBIC GP), were organized in Delaware on August 25, 2011 as a limited partnership and limited liability company, respectively. Both the
SBIC LP and SBIC GP (the Subsidiaries) are consolidated wholly-owned subsidiaries of ours. The SBIC LP will be subject to regulation and oversight by the SBA. Under SBA regulations, SBICs may make loans to eligible small businesses and
invest in the equity securities of small businesses. As of December 31, 2011, the SBIC LP was capitalized with investments in eligible small businesses with a cost of $12.8 million that were pre-approved by the SBA.

Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company, or the Advisor may become party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings related to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with
our portfolio companies. Neither the Company, nor the Advisor, is currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

The
Company has the following revolving commitments (in millions) to portfolio companies:



|                           |  |                   |      |   |                   |   |      |

The Company has also agreed to provide $7.9 million of capital in a delayed draw and capital expenditure
facilities, as well as certain additional funding amounts of up to $4.7 million to a portfolio company to fund future acquisitions provided certain performance requirements and other conditions are met. As of December 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, such requirements and conditions had not been met.

Dividends

We have elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to maintain our status as a regulated investment company, we are required to (1) distribute at
least 90% of our investment company taxable income and (2) distribute at least 98% of our ordinary income for each calendar year and 98.2% of our net capital gains for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year to avoid
excise tax. We intend to make distributions to stockholders on a quarterly basis of substantially all of our net investment income. Although we intend to make distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually, out of assets
legally available for such distributions, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment. In addition, the extent and timing of special dividends, if any, will be determined by our board of directors and will largely be
driven by portfolio specific events and tax considerations at the time.

In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make
distributions due to the BDC asset coverage test for borrowings applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act.

The following
table summarizes our dividends declared and paid or to be paid on all shares to date:



|                  |  |                    |  |                    |  |

We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific
level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our status as a regulated investment
company. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions at a particular level.

On March 6, 2012,
our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.29 per share, payable on March 30, 2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2012. The dividend will be paid out of net income earned in the period from
January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012.

On March 6, 2012, our board of directors declared a special dividend
of $0.05 per share, payable on March 30, 2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2012. The dividend will be paid out of capital gains realized in 2011.

We maintain an opt in dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, unless stockholders specifically
elect to have their dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, stockholders will receive all such dividends in cash. With respect to our dividends and distributions paid to stockholders during the year ended
December 31, 2011, dividends reinvested pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan totaled $4.0 million.

Under the terms
of our dividend reinvestment plan, dividends will primarily be paid in newly issued shares of common stock. However, we reserve the right to purchase shares in the open market in connection with the implementation of the plan. This feature of the
plan means that, under certain circumstances, we may issue shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value per share, which could cause our stockholders to experience dilution.

##### Table of Contents

Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated profits and earnings would be treated
first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholders tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions are made annually as of the end of our
fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year. Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of our distributions for a full year.
Each year, a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the distribution are mailed to our stockholders.

The tax
character of distributions declared and paid in 2011 represented $19.6 million from ordinary income, $1.0 million from capital gains and $0 from tax return of capital. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to certain
components of net assets to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These adjustments have no affect on net asset value per share. Permanent differences between financial and tax reporting at December 31, 2011 and
2010 were $0.1 million and $0.03 million, respectively.

Contractual obligations

We have entered into a contract with the Advisor to provide investment advisory services. Payments for investment advisory services under
the investment management agreement in future periods will be equal to (a) an annual base management fee of 1.5% of our gross assets and (b) an incentive fee based on our performance. In addition, under our administration agreement, the
Advisor will be reimbursed for administrative services incurred on our behalf. See description below under Related Party Transactions.

Off-Balance sheet arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet
arrangements, including any risk management of commodity pricing or other hedging practices.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and
Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04), which amends the existing fair value guidance within ASC 820-10. The amendments include: (1) application of the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise
only to measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets (that is, it does not apply to financial assets or any liabilities), (2) an exception to fair value measurement principles for financial assets and financial liabilities (and derivatives)
with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk, which allows an entity to measure the fair value of the net risk position, when several criteria are met, (3) extension of the prohibition of a blockage factor application
to all fair value measurements, (4) a model for the fair value measurement of instruments classified within an entitys shareholders equity which is consistent with the guidance of measuring the fair value for liabilities,
(5) additional disclosures for fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: (i) quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, (ii) a description of the valuation processes used by the entity
and (iii) a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements, (6) disclosure of the level in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value but where fair value is disclosed and
(7) disclosure of any transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, not just significant transfers. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective for us on January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to
materially impact our financial statements.

Related Party Transactions

Investment Management and Administration Agreements

Our investment management agreement with the Advisor was re-approved by our Board of Directors on March 6, 2012. Under the investment management agreement, the Advisor, subject to the overall
supervision of our board of directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to us.

##### Table of Contents

The Advisor receives a fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of a
base management fee and a two-part incentive fee.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of our
gross assets payable quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the base management fee, gross assets is determined as the value of our assets without deduction for any liabilities. For the first
quarter of our operations, the base management fee was calculated based on the initial value of our gross assets. Subsequently, the base management fee is calculated based on the value of our gross assets at the end of the most recently completed
calendar quarter, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial quarter will be appropriately prorated.

The incentive fee has two components, ordinary income and capital gains, as follows:

The ordinary income component is calculated, and payable, quarterly in arrears based on our preincentive fee net investment income for
the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a cumulative total return requirement and to deferral of non-cash amounts. The preincentive fee net investment income, which is expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets
attributable to our common stock, will have a 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) hurdle rate (also referred to as minimum income level). Preincentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income
(including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, managerial assistance and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses
for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under our administration agreement (discussed below), and any interest expense and any dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee
and any offering expenses and other expenses not charged to operations but excluding certain reversals to the extent such reversals have the effect of reducing previously accrued incentive fees based on the deferral of non-cash interest.
Preincentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet
received in cash. The Advisor receives no incentive fee for any calendar quarter in which our preincentive fee net investment income does not exceed the minimum income level. Subject to the cumulative total return requirement described below, the
Advisor receives 100% of our preincentive fee net investment income for any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of the preincentive net investment income for such quarter, if any, that exceeds the minimum income level but is less than 2.5%
(which is 10.0% annualized) of net assets (also referred to as the catch-up provision) and 20.0% of our preincentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter, if any, greater than 2.5% (10.0% annualized) of net assets. The
foregoing incentive fee is subject to a total return requirement, which provides that no incentive fee in respect of our preincentive fee net investment income is payable except to the extent 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets
resulting from operations over the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters exceeds the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the 11 preceding quarters. In other words, any ordinary income incentive fee that is payable in a
calendar quarter is limited to the lesser of (i) 20% of the amount by which our preincentive fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the 2.0% hurdle, subject to the catch-up provision, and (ii) (x) 20%
of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the then current and 11 preceding quarters minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the 11 preceding calendar quarters. For the foregoing purpose,
the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations is the amount, if positive, of the sum of our preincentive fee net investment income, base management fees, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and
depreciation for the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters. In addition, the Advisor is not paid the portion of such incentive fee that is attributable to deferred interest until we actually receive such interest in cash.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, we incurred $3.8 million and $0, respectively, of incentive fees related to ordinary
income. As of December 31, 2011, $1.4 million of such incentive fees are currently payable to the Advisor, as $0.3 million of incentive fees incurred by us were generated from deferred interest (i.e. PIK and certain discount accretion) and are
not payable until such amounts are received in cash. For the period ended December 31, 2009, we incurred no incentive fees, as we had not yet commenced principal operations.

The second component of the incentive fee (capital gains incentive fee) is determined and
payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the investment management agreement, as of the termination date). This component is equal to 20.0% of our cumulative aggregate realized capital gains from inception
through the end of that calendar year, computed net of the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and cumulative aggregate unrealized capital depreciation through the end of such year. The aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains
incentive fees is subtracted from such capital gains incentive fee calculated.

The capital gains incentive fee incurred by
the Company and payable to our Advisor under the investment management agreement (as described above) for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.2 million and $0, respectively. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee
accrual considers the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation
is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the investment management agreement. For accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP only, in order to reflect the potential capital gains incentive fee that would be
payable for a given period as if all unrealized gains were realized, we have accrued total capital gains incentive fees, including the $0.2 million and $0 currently payable for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, of $1.0
million and $0 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, based upon net realized capital gains and unrealized capital depreciation for that period (in accordance with the terms of the investment management agreement), plus unrealized
capital appreciation on investments held at the end of the year. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, such fee, as calculated and accrued would not necessarily be payable
under the investment management agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of capital gains incentive fees in subsequent periods. Approximately $0.4 million of the accrued potential capital gains incentive fee for the year ended
December 31, 2011 was related to unrealized appreciation on investments in periods prior to 2011. Such amounts were not material to current or to prior periods consolidated financial statements. For the period ended December 31,
2009, we incurred no incentive fees, as we had not yet commenced principal operations.

We have also entered into an
administration agreement with the Advisor under which the Advisor will provide administrative services to us. Under the administration agreement, the Advisor performs, or oversees the performance of administrative services necessary for our
operation, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records which we are required to maintain and preparing reports to our stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists in determining and
publishing our net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to our stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and
professional services rendered to us by others. We will reimburse the Advisor for our allocable portion of the costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor for overhead in performance by the Advisor of its duties under the administration agreement
and the investment management agreement, including facilities, office equipment and our allocable portion of cost of compensation and related expenses of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs,
as well as any costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor relating to any administrative or operating services provided to us by the Advisor. Such costs are reflected as Administrator expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Operations. Under the administration agreement, the Advisor provides, on our behalf, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the Company is required to provide such assistance. To the extent that our Advisor outsources any of its
functions, the Company pays the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without profit to the Advisor.

License Agreement

We and THL Credit Advisors have entered into a license agreement with THL Partners under which THL Partners has granted to us and THL Credit Advisors a non-exclusive, personal, revocable worldwide
non-transferable license to use the trade name and service mark THL, which is a proprietary mark of THL Partners, for specified purposes in connection with our respective businesses. This license agreement is royalty-free, which means we are not
charged a fee for our use of the trade name and service mark THL. The license

agreement is terminable either in its entirety or with respect to us or THL Credit Advisors by THL Partners at any time in its sole discretion upon 60 days prior written notice, and is also
terminable with respect to either us or THL Credit Advisors by THL Partners in the case of certain events of non-compliance. After the expiration of its first one year term, the entire license agreement is terminable by either us or THL Credit
Advisors at our or its sole discretion upon 60 days prior written notice. Upon termination of the license agreement, we and THL Credit Advisors must cease to use the name and mark THL, including any use in our respective legal names, filings,
listings and other uses that may require us to withdraw or replace our names and marks. Other than with respect to the limited rights contained in the license agreement, we and THL Credit Advisors have no right to use, or other rights in respect of,
the THL name and mark. We are an entity operated independently from THL Partners, and third parties who deal with us have no recourse against THL Partners.

Due to Affiliate

The Advisor and an affiliate of the Advisor paid
certain offering, organization and other general and administrative expenses on our behalf. Such amounts, if any, have been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Due to affiliate.

Managed Funds

Greenway

On January 14, 2011, Greenway was formed as a Delaware
limited liability company. Greenway is a portfolio company of THL Credit, Inc. Greenway is a closed investment fund which provides for no liquidity or redemption options and is not readily marketable. Greenway operates under a limited liability
agreement dated January 19, 2011 (the Agreement). Greenway will continue in existence until January 14, 2021, subject to earlier termination pursuant to certain terms of the Agreement. The term may also be extended
for up to three additional one-year periods pursuant to certain terms of the Agreement. Greenway has a two year investment period.

Greenway has $150.0 million of capital committed by affiliates of a single institutional investor, and is managed by THL Credit, Inc. through the investment professionals that serve on our investment
committee. Our capital commitment to Greenway is $0.02 million. As of December 31, 2011, $116.0 million of capital had been called by Greenway and our portion of total called capital was $0.01 million. As of December 31, 2011, the value of
our interest in Greenway was $0.01 million and is reflected in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

As manager of
Greenway, we act as the investment adviser to Greenway and are entitled to receive certain fees. As a result, Greenway is classified as an affiliate of ours. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we earned $1.8 million in fees related to
Greenway, which are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2011, $0.4 million of fees related to Greenway were included in Due from affiliate on the Consolidated Statements of
Assets and Liabilities.

Greenway invests in securities similar to those of ours pursuant to investment and allocation
guidelines which address, among other things, the size of the borrowers, the types of transactions and the concentration and investment ratio amongst Greenway and us. However, we have the discretion to invest in other securities.

THL Credit SBIC, LP

We have received a Greenlight letter allowing us to file an application with the Investment Division of the Small Business Administration, or the SBA, to license a Small Business Investment
Company, or SBIC. We submitted our application, which was formally accepted for processing by the SBA on September 21, 2011. There can be no assurance that we will be able obtain such license and capitalize such SBIC with sufficient regulatory
capital to borrow the maximum amount available.

THL Credit SBIC, LP (the SBIC LP) and its general partner, THL
Credit SBIC GP, LLC (the SBIC GP), were organized in Delaware on August 25, 2011 as a limited partnership and limited liability company,

respectively. Both the SBIC LP and SBIC GP (the Subsidiaries) are consolidated wholly-owned subsidiaries of ours. The SBIC LP will be subject to regulation and oversight by the SBA.
Under SBA regulations, SBICs may make loans to eligible small businesses and invest in the equity securities of small businesses. As of December 31, 2011, the SBIC LP was capitalized with investments in eligible small businesses with a cost of
$12.8 million that were pre-approved by the SBA.

Affiliated Stockholders

THL Credit Opportunities, L.P. and BDC Holdings own 6,974 and 8,951,220 shares, respectively, or 0.03% and 44.27%, respectively, of our
common stock as of December 31, 2011 compared with 6,780 and 10,572,326 shares, respectively, or 0.03% and 53.08%, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.

Critical accounting policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management 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. In
addition to the discussion below, the Companys significant accounting policies are further described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

As a BDC, we generally invest in
illiquid securities including debt and equity investments of middle-market companies. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service
or one or more broker-dealers or market makers. Debt and equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors. Because we expect that there will not be
a readily available market value for many of the investments in our portfolio, it is expected that many of our portfolio investments values will be determined in good faith by our board of directors in accordance with a documented valuation
policy that has been reviewed and approved by our board of directors in accordance with GAAP. 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 our
investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step
valuation process each quarter, as described below:



| |  |  | our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for
the portfolio investment;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of the Advisor;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to the extent determined by the audit committee of our board of directors, independent valuation firms engaged by us conduct independent appraisals and
review the Advisors preliminary valuations in light of their own independent assessment;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the audit committee of our board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of the Advisor and independent valuation firms and, if necessary,
responds and supplements the valuation recommendation of the independent valuation firm to reflect any comments; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the
Advisor, the respective independent valuation firms and the audit committee.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

The types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments
include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to
publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. We utilize an income approach to value our debt investments and a combination of income and market approaches to value our equity investments. With respect to unquoted securities, our board of
directors, in consultation with our independent third party valuation firm, values each investment considering, among other measures, discounted cash flow models, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public and other factors.
For debt investments, we determine the fair value primarily using an income, or yield, approach that analyzes the discounted cash flows of interest and principal for the debt security, as set forth in the associated loan agreements, as well as the
financial position and credit risk of each portfolio investments. Our estimate of the expected repayment date is generally the legal maturity date of the instrument. The yield analysis considers changes in leverage levels, credit quality, portfolio
company performance and other factors.

The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market
transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future cash flows or earnings to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on
the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market
data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, the current investment performance rating, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and
realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are
public, transaction comparables, our principal market as the reporting entity and enterprise values, among other factors.

Revenue Recognition

We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. For loans and debt investments with contractual PIK interest which represents contractual interest
accrued and added to the loan balance that generally becomes due at maturity, we will generally not accrue PIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is not collectible. We do not accrue as a receivable interest
on loans and debt investments if we determine that it is probable that we will not be able to collect such interest. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more and/or when there is
reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we did not have any loans on non-accrual status. Upfront loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are
capitalized, and we then amortize such amounts as interest income using the effective yield method. We record prepayment premiums on loans and debt investments as interest income.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation

We measure realized gains or losses 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. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the change in portfolio investment values
during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation, when gains or losses are realized.

Federal Income Taxes

We operate so as to maintain our status as a
RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and intend to continue to do so. Accordingly, we are not subject to federal income tax on the portion of our taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as
a RIC, we are required to distribute



72



---

##### Table of Contents

annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid federal excise taxes, we must distribute annually at least 98% of our ordinary
income for each calendar year and 98.2% of our net capital gains for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year. We may choose not to distribute all of our taxable income for the calendar year and pay a non-deductible 4% excise
tax on this income. If we choose to do so, all other things being equal, this would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. We will accrue excise tax on undistributed taxable income as required. Excise
taxes for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $0.02 million. We incurred no excise tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the period ended December 31, 2009.

If we do not distribute at least 98% of our ordinary income in the year earned and 98.2% of our net capital gains for the one-year period
ending October 31 in that calendar year, we will generally be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the undistributed amount. To the extent that we determine that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of
estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, we accrue excise taxes on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual effective excise tax rate. The annual effective excise tax rate is
determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income. As of December 31, 2011, we have accrued $0.02 million for federal excise taxes.

Because federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment
income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character.
Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

Recent developments

On January 17, 2012, we closed on a $7.1 million investment in the subordinated term loan of Express Courier International, Inc. (Express Courier). Headquartered in Franklin, TN, Express
Courier provides same-day scheduled and on-demand distribution and warehousing logistics services.

On February 13, 2012,
we filed a Form ADV with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register as an Investment Adviser in connection with agreements to provide investment advisory services to Greenway and SBIC LP.

On February 17, 2012, we were prepaid on $2.3 million, or 20%, of our investment, at par, in Charming Charlie plus a prepayment
premium.

On February 28, 2012, we participated in the refinancing of the subordinated term loan for Food Processing
Holdings, LLC (Food Holdings) in connection with an acquisition, realizing the full principal amount of our investment of $12.6 million. We subsequently invested $13.5 million in a new subordinated term loan of Food Holdings.

On March 6, 2012, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.29 per share, payable on March 30, 2012 to stockholders of record at
the close of business on March 20, 2012. The dividend will be paid out of net income earned in the period from January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012.

On March 6, 2012, our board of directors declared a special dividend of $0.05 per share, payable on March 30, 2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2012. The dividend
will be paid out of capital gains realized in 2011.

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

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. For the year ended December 31, 2011, 60.0%, or fifteen, of the loans in our portfolio bore interest at fixed rates.
Fourteen of the loans in our portfolio have interest rate floors, which have effectively converted the loans to fixed rate loans in the current interest rate environment. In the future, we expect other loans in our portfolio will have floating
rates. Assuming that the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2011, were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical one percent increase in LIBOR
would increase our net income by less than $0.2 million due the current floors in place. A hypothetical decrease in LIBOR would not affect our net income, again, due to the aforementioned floors in place. Although we believe that this measure is
indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size and composition of the assets on the balance sheet and other business developments that could affect net increase in net assets
resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the potential outcome simulated by this estimate. We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using
standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contacts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to
participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we did not engage in hedging activities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

THL Credit, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of
assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets (deficit), and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
THL Credit, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations, and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from May 26, 2009 (inception) through December 31, 2009,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for these financial statements, for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing
under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audits (which was an integrated audit in 2011). 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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 audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also
included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our procedures included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2011 by correspondence with the issuers or custodian, and where replies were not received,
we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A
companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) 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 the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

THL Credit, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2011

1. Organization

THL Credit, Inc., or the Company, was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 26, 2009. The Company has elected to be regulated as
a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Company has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, as amended. In
2009, the Company was treated for tax purposes as a corporation. The Companys investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation, primarily through privately negotiated investments in debt and equity securities of
middle-market companies.

The Company was initially funded on July 23, 2009, issuing 6,700 shares of common stock at an
aggregate purchase price of $100,500 to THL Credit Opportunities, L.P., an affiliate of THL Credit Advisors LLC (the Advisor). While the Company incurred certain costs in connection with an anticipated initial public offering, which
ultimately would have been borne by the Advisor had the offering not closed, the Company did not formally commence principal operations until the completion of the offering on April 21, 2010 as described below.

On April 20, 2010, in anticipation of completing an initial public offering and formally commencing principal operations, the Company
entered into a purchase and sale agreement with THL Credit Opportunities, L.P. and THL Credit Partners BDC Holdings, L.P., or BDC Holdings, an affiliate of the Company, to effectuate the sale by THL Credit Opportunities, L.P. to the Company of
certain securities valued at $62,107,449, as determined by the Companys board of directors, and on the same day issued 4,140,496 shares of common stock to BDC Holdings valued at $15.00 per share pursuant to such agreement in exchange for the
aforementioned securities. Subsequently, the Company filed an election to be regulated as a BDC.

On April 21, 2010, the
Company completed its initial public offering, formally commencing principal operations, and sold 9,000,000 shares of its common stock through a group of underwriters at a price of $13.00 per share, less an underwriting discount and commissions
totaling $0.8125 per share. Concurrently, the Company sold 6,307,692 shares of its common stock to BDC Holdings at $13.00 per share, the sale of which was not subject to an underwriting discount and commission. On April 27, 2010, the
Company closed the sale of the aforementioned 15,307,692 shares and received $191.7 million of net proceeds.

On May 26,
2010, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option under the underwriting agreement and elected to purchase an additional 337,000 shares of common stock at $13.00 per share resulting in additional net proceeds of $4.1 million.

The Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, THL Credit Holdings, Inc. (Credit Holdings), which is structured as a
Delaware corporation, to hold equity or equity-like investments in portfolio companies organized as limited liability companies, or LLCs (or other forms of pass-through entities). Credit Holdings is not consolidated for income tax purposes and may
incur income tax expense as a result of its ownership of portfolio companies. There is no income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, THL Corporate Finance, Inc., which serves as the administrative agent on certain investment transactions.

On April 8, 2011, the Company received a Greenlight letter allowing it to file an application to license a small business
investment company, or SBIC, with the Investment Division of the Small Business Administration, or the SBA. The application was submitted and formally accepted on September 21, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, the SBIC had not received
its license to operate as a SBIC. There can be no

assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such license and capitalize such SBIC with sufficient regulatory capital to borrow the maximum amount available.

THL Credit SBIC, LP (the SBIC LP) and its general partner, THL Credit SBIC GP, LLC (the SBIC GP), were organized
in Delaware on August 25, 2011 as a limited partnership and limited liability company, respectively. Both the SBIC LP and SBIC GP (the Subsidiaries) are consolidated wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The SBIC will be subject
to regulation and oversight by the SBA. Under SBA regulations, SBICs may make loans to eligible small businesses and invest in the equity securities of small businesses. The SBIC LPs objective is to generate both current income and capital
appreciation through debt and equity investments. SBIC LP generally invests with the Company in SBA eligible businesses that meet the investment criteria used by the Company. As of December 31, 2011, the SBIC LP was capitalized with investments
in eligible small businesses with a cost of $12,785,748 that were pre-approved by the SBA.

The Company manages the day-to-day
operations of and provides investment advisory and administrative services to SBIC LP.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In accordance with
Article 6 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company generally will not consolidate its interest in any company other than in investment company subsidiaries
and controlled operating companies substantially all of whose business consists of providing services to the Company.

The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form
10-K and Regulation S-X. The financial results of our portfolio companies are not consolidated in the financial statements. The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, credit worthiness of our portfolio companies and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ and these differences could be material.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits, repurchase agreements, and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash and cash
equivalents with financial institutions and, at certain times, cash held in demand deposit accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit and is therefore subject to credit risk. Cash equivalents are classified within
Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy used in connection with GAAP reporting and as described in Valuation of Investments below.

Repurchase Agreements

The Company may enter into repurchase
agreements as part of its cash management activities. In these transactions, the Companys custodian takes possession of collateral pledged by the counterparty. The



89



---

##### Table of Contents

collateral is marked-to-market daily to ensure that the value, plus accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy
of the counterparty to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings. The Company had no repurchase agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2011.

Cash equivalents as of the December 31, 2010, consisted of an overnight repurchase agreement with State Street Bank & Trust
Company (SSB) dated December 31, 2010 and payable January 3, 2011 in the amount of $3,727,672, reflecting an interest rate of one basis point. This agreement was collateralized by U.S. Treasury notes pledged by SSB. The
collateral pledged was valued at $3,804,419. In the event of default by SSB, the Company had the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs consist of fees and expenses paid in connection with the closing of credit facilities and are capitalized at the time of payment. Deferred financing costs are amortized using the
straight line method over the term of the credit facility.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the public offer and sale of the Companys common
stock, including legal, accounting, printing fees and other related expenses, as well as costs incurred in connection with the filing of a shelf registration statement.

Valuation of Investments

Investments for which market quotations
are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or one or more broker-dealers or market makers. Debt and equity securities for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors. Because we expect that there will not be a readily available market value for many of the investments in our portfolio, it is expected that many of our
portfolio investments values will be determined in good faith by our board of directors in accordance with a documented valuation policy that has been reviewed and approved by our board of directors in accordance with GAAP. 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 our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value
existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

With respect to investments for which market quotations
are not readily available, our board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:



| |  |  | our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for
the portfolio investment;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management of the Advisor;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to the extent determined by the audit committee of our board of directors, independent valuation firms engaged by the Company conduct independent
appraisals and review the Advisors preliminary valuations in light of their own independent assessment;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the audit committee of our board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of the Advisor and independent valuation firms and, if necessary,
responds and supplements the valuation recommendation of the independent valuation firm to reflect any comments; and

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | our board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the
Advisor, the respective independent valuation firms and the audit committee.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The types of factors that we
may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in
which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. The Company utilizes an income approach to value its debt investments and a combination of income and market approaches to value its
equity investments. With respect to unquoted securities, our board of directors, in consultation with our independent third party valuation firm, values each investment considering, among other measures, discounted cash flow models, comparisons of
financial ratios of peer companies that are public and other factors. For debt investments, the Company determines the fair value primarily using an income, or yield, approach that analyzes the discounted cash flows of interest and principal for the
debt security, as set forth in the associated loan agreements, as well as the financial position and credit risk of each portfolio investments. The Companys estimate of the expected repayment date is generally the legal maturity date of the
instrument. The yield analysis considers changes in leverage levels, credit quality, portfolio company performance and other factors.

The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses
valuation techniques to convert future cash flows or earnings to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the
types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and
multiples, the current investment performance rating, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments, its earnings and
discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, transaction comparables, our principal market as the reporting entity and enterprise values, among
other factors.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the
Company discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets
or liabilities;

Level 2  Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for
which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3  Prices or valuations that require
inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The level of an asset or liability within the
fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes observable requires significant judgment by management.

The Company considers whether the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifies
transactions that are not orderly in determining fair value. Accordingly, if the Company determines that either the volume and/or level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased (from normal conditions for that asset or
liability) or price quotations or observable inputs are not



91

##### Table of Contents

associated with orderly transactions, increased analysis and management judgment will be required to estimate fair value. Valuation techniques such as an income approach might be appropriate to
supplement or replace a market approach in those circumstances.

The Company has adopted the authoritative guidance under GAAP
for estimating the fair value of investments in investment companies that have calculated net asset value per share in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for Investment Companies. Accordingly, in circumstances in which net asset
value per share of an investment is determinative of fair value, the Company estimates the fair value of an investment in an investment company using the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) without further adjustment, if
the net asset value per share of the investment is determined in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for Investment Companies as of the reporting entitys measurement date.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, that requires reporting
entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a
gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair-value measurements. The FASB also clarified existing fair-value measurement disclosure guidance about the level of disaggregation, inputs, and valuation techniques. The new and revised disclosures
are required to be implemented in interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 rollforward, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2010-06 beginning January 1, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position and results of operations as of and for the period ended December 31,
2011.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement
and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04), which amends the existing fair value guidance within ASC 820-10. The amendments include: (1) application of the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise
only to measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets (that is, it does not apply to financial assets or any liabilities), (2) an exception to fair value measurement principles for financial assets and financial liabilities (and derivatives)
with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk, which allows an entity to measure the fair value of the net risk position, when several criteria are met, (3) extension of the prohibition of a blockage factor application
to all fair value measurements, (4) a model for the fair value measurement of instruments classified within an entitys shareholders equity which is consistent with the guidance of measuring the fair value for liabilities,
(5) additional disclosures for fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: (i) quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, (ii) a description of the valuation processes used by the entity
and (iii) a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements, (6) disclosure of the level in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value but where fair value is disclosed and
(7) disclosure of any transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, not just significant transfers. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected
to materially impact the Companys financial statements.

Investment Risk

The value of investments will generally fluctuate with, among other things, changes in prevailing interest rates, general economic
conditions, the condition of certain financial markets, developments or trends in any particular industry and the financial condition of the issuer. During periods of limited liquidity and higher price volatility, the Companys ability to
dispose of investments at a price and time that the Company deems advantageous may be impaired. The extent of this exposure is reflected in the carrying value of these financial assets and recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and
Liabilities.



92

##### Table of Contents

Lower-quality debt securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to
changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of
general or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities is likely to be
higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.

Investment in Funds

Greenway

On January 14, 2011, THL Credit Greenway Fund LLC
(Greenway) was formed as a Delaware limited liability company. Greenway is a portfolio company of the Company. Greenway is a closed-end investment fund which provides for no liquidity or redemption options and is not readily
marketable. Greenway operates under a limited liability agreement dated January 19, 2011 (the Agreement). Greenway will continue in existence until January 14, 2021, subject to earlier termination pursuant to certain terms
of the Agreement. The term may also be extended for up to three additional one-year periods pursuant to certain terms of the Agreement. Greenway has a two year investment period.

Greenway has $150,000,000 of capital committed by affiliates of a single institutional investor, and is managed by the Company through the
investment professionals that serve on the Companys investment committee. The Companys capital commitment to Greenway is $15,000. As of December 31, 2011, $116,029,186 of capital had been called by Greenway and the Companys
portion of total called capital was $11,603. As of December 31, 2011, the value of the Companys interest in Greenway was $11,496 and is reflected in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

As manager of Greenway, the Company acts as the investment adviser to Greenway and is entitled to receive certain fees. As a result,
Greenway is classified as an affiliate of the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company earned $1,809,994 in fees related to Greenway, which are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of
December 31, 2011, $410,479 of fees related to Greenway were included in Due from affiliate on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Greenway invests in securities similar to those of the Company pursuant to investment and allocation guidelines which address, among other things, the size of the borrowers, the types of transactions and
the concentration and investment ratio amongst Greenway and the Company. However, the Company has the discretion to invest in other securities.

LCP Capital Fund, LLC

The Company has invested in membership interests in
LCP Capital Fund, LLC, or LCP, a private investment company that was organized to participate in investment opportunities that arise when a special purpose entity, or SPE, or sponsor thereof, needs to raise capital to achieve ratings, regulatory,
accounting, tax, or other objectives. LCP is a closed investment vehicle which provides for no liquidity or redemption options and is not readily marketable. LCP is managed by an unaffiliated third party. As of December 31, 2011, the
Company has contributed $12,000,000 of capital in the form of membership interests in LCP, which is invested in an underlying SPE referred to as Series 2005-01. The Companys exposure is limited to the amount of its contributed capital.

The Companys contributed capital in LCP is maintained in a collateral account held by a third-party custodian, who is
neither affiliated with the Company nor with LCP, and acts as collateral on certain credit default swaps for the Series 2005-01 for which LCP receives fixed premium payments throughout the year, adjusted for expenses incurred by LCP. The SPE
purchases assets on a non-recourse basis and LCP agrees to reimburse the SPE up to a specified amount for potential losses. LCP holds the contributed cash invested for an SPE transaction in a segregated account that secures the payment obligation of
LCP. The Company expects to receive distributions from LCP on a quarterly basis. Such distributions are reflected in the

##### Table of Contents

Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations as interest income in the period earned. LCP has a remaining life of 19 years; however, it is currently expected that Series 2005-01 will
terminate on February 15, 2013, if not extended prior to this date pursuant to the terms of Series 2005-1 SPE. Regardless of the date of dissolution, LCP has the right to receive amounts held in the collateral account if there is an event
of default under LCPs operative agreements. LCP may have other series which will have investments in other SPEs to which the Company will not be exposed.

Security Transactions, Income Recognition, Realized/Unrealized Gains or Losses

Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. The Company measures realized gains or losses 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. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is
recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Original issue discount, principally representing the estimated fair value of detachable equity or
warrants obtained in conjunction with the acquisition of debt securities, and market discount or premium are capitalized and accreted or amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The
amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums and upfront loan origination fees.

The Company has investments in its portfolio which contain a contractual paid-in-kind, or PIK, interest provision. PIK interest is computed at the contractual rate specified in each investment agreement,
is added to the principal balance of the investment, and is recorded as income. The Company will cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if it does not expect amounts to be collectible. To maintain the
Companys status as a RIC, PIK interest income, which is considered investment company taxable income, must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. Amounts necessary to pay
these dividends may come from available cash.

The Company recorded $2,550,001, $935,464 and $0 in PIK income for the years
ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the period ended December 31, 2009, respectively.

The Company capitalizes and
amortizes upfront loan origination fees received in connection with the closing of investments. The unearned income from such fees is accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method. Upon
prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees, and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income.

In certain investment transactions, the Company may provide advisory services. For services that are separately identifiable and external evidence exists to substantiate fair value, income is recognized
as earned. The Company had no income from advisory services for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the period ended December 31, 2009.

Other income includes commitment fees, fees related to the management of Greenway, amendment fees and unused commitment fees associated with investments in portfolio companies.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

Revolving and Unfunded Delayed Draw Loans

For the Companys
investments in revolving and delayed draw loans, the cost basis of the investments purchased is adjusted for the cash received for the discount on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for price appreciation or depreciation on
the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of commitments not completely funded may result in a negative value until it is offset by the future amounts called and funded.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and currently qualifies, and intends to continue to qualify
each year, as a RIC under the Code.

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, the Company is required to
distribute annually to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid federal excise taxes, the Company must distribute annually at least 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year and
98.2% of its net capital gains for the one-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year. The Company, at its discretion, may choose not to distribute all of its taxable income for the calendar year and pay a non-deductible 4% excise tax
on this income. If the Company chooses to do so, all other things being equal, this would increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. The Company will accrue excise tax on undistributed taxable income as
required. Excise taxes for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $22,000. The Company incurred no excise tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the period ended December 31, 2009.

If the Company does not distribute at least 98% of its ordinary income in the year earned and 98.2% of its net capital gains for the
one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year, the Company will generally be required to pay an excise tax equal to 4% of the undistributed amount. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual
taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, the Company accrues excise taxes on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual effective excise tax rate.
The annual effective excise tax rate is determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income.

The Company follows the provisions under the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. The provisions require management to determine whether a tax position
of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not
threshold, the tax amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. There are
no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Although the Company files federal and state tax returns, the Companys major tax jurisdiction is federal. The Companys inception-to-date federal tax
years remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Dividends

Dividends and distributions to stockholders are recorded on the applicable record date. The amount, if any to be paid out as a dividend is
determined by the Companys board of directors on a quarterly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, generally are distributed at least annually, out of assets legally available for such distributions, although the Company may decide to
retain such capital gains for investment.

Capital transactions in connection with the Companys dividend reinvestment
plan are recorded when shares are issued.

3. Related Party Transactions

The Companys investment management agreement was re-approved by its Board of Directors, including a majority of our directors who
are not interested persons of the Company, on March 6, 2012. Under the investment management agreement, the Advisor, subject to the overall supervision of the Companys board of directors, manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides
investment advisory services to the Company. SBIC LPs investment management agreement does not affect the base management fees or incentive fees the Company pays to its Advisor on a consolidated basis.

##### Table of Contents

The Advisor receives a fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of a
base management fee and a two-part incentive fee.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% of the
Companys gross assets payable quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the base management fee, gross assets is determined as the value of the Companys assets without deduction for any
liabilities. For the first quarter of our operations, the base management fee was calculated based on the initial value of the Companys gross assets. Subsequently, the base management fee is calculated based on the value of the Companys
gross assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial quarter are prorated.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred base management fees payable to the Advisor of $4,011,897 and
$2,696,647, respectively, of which $1,013,048 and $979,316 was payable at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the period ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred no base management fees, as the Company had not yet commenced
principal operations.

The incentive fee has two components, ordinary income and capital gains, as follows:

The ordinary income component is calculated, and payable, quarterly in arrears based on the Companys preincentive fee net investment
income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, subject to a cumulative total return requirement and to deferral of non-cash amounts. The preincentive fee net investment income, which is expressed as a rate of return on the value of the
Companys net assets attributable to the Companys common stock, will have a 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) hurdle rate (also referred to as minimum income level). Preincentive fee net investment income means interest income,
dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence, managerial assistance and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the
calendar quarter, minus the Companys operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Companys Administration Agreement (discussed below), and any interest expense and any dividends paid
on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee and any offering expenses and other expenses not charged to operations but excluding certain reversals to the extent such reversals have the effect of reducing previously
accrued incentive fees based on the deferral of non-cash interest. Preincentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and
zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. The Advisor receives no incentive fee for any calendar quarter in which the Companys preincentive fee net investment income does not exceed the minimum
income level. Subject to the cumulative total return requirement described below, the Advisor receives 100% of the Companys preincentive fee net investment income for any calendar quarter with respect to that portion of the preincentive net
investment income for such quarter, if any, that exceeds the minimum income level but is less than 2.5% (which is 10.0% annualized) of net assets (also referred to as the catch-up provision) and 20.0% of the Companys preincentive
fee net investment income for such calendar quarter, if any, greater than 2.5% (10.0% annualized) of net assets. The foregoing incentive fee is subject to a total return requirement, which provides that no incentive fee in respect of the
Companys preincentive fee net investment income is payable except to the extent 20.0% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations over the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters exceeds the cumulative
incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the 11 preceding quarters. In other words, any ordinary income incentive fee that is payable in a calendar quarter is limited to the lesser of (i) 20% of the amount by which the Companys preincentive
fee net investment income for such calendar quarter exceeds the 2.0% hurdle, subject to the catch-up provision, and (ii) (x) 20% of the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the then current and 11
preceding quarters minus (y) the cumulative incentive fees accrued and/or paid for the 11 preceding calendar quarters. For the foregoing purpose, the cumulative net increase in net assets resulting from operations is the
amount, if positive, of the sum of preincentive fee net investment income, base management fees, realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and

depreciation of the Company for the then current and 11 preceding calendar quarters. In addition, the Advisor is not paid the portion of such incentive fee that is attributable to deferred
interest until the Company actually receives such interest in cash.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the
Company incurred $3,818,187 and $0, respectively, of incentive fees related to ordinary income. As of December 31, 2011, $1,440,090 of such incentive fees are currently payable to the Advisor, as $276,670 of incentive fees incurred by the
Company were generated from deferred interest (i.e. PIK and certain discount accretion) and are not payable until such amounts are received in cash. For the period ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred no incentive fees, as the Company
had not yet commenced principal operations.

The second component of the incentive fee (capital gains incentive fee) is
determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Management Agreement, as of the termination date). This component is equal to 20.0% of the Companys cumulative aggregate realized
capital gains from inception through the end of that calendar year, computed net of the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and cumulative aggregate unrealized capital depreciation through the end of such year. The aggregate amount of any
previously paid capital gains incentive fees is subtracted from such capital gains incentive fee calculated.

The capital gains
incentive fee payable to the Companys Advisor under the Investment Management Agreement (as described above) for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $195,929 and $0, respectively. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive
fee accrual considers the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital
appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Management Agreement. For accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP only, in order to reflect the potential capital gains incentive fee
that would be payable for a given period as if all unrealized gains were realized, the Company has accrued total capital gains incentive fees including the $195,929 and $0 currently payable for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, of $972,271 and $0 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, based upon net realized capital gains and unrealized capital depreciation for that period (in accordance with the terms of the Investment Management Agreement),
plus unrealized capital appreciation on investments held at the end of the year. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. Accordingly, such fee, as calculated and accrued would not
necessarily be payable under the Investment Management Agreement, and may never be paid based upon the computation of capital gains incentive fees in subsequent periods. Approximately $350,000 of the accrued potential capital gains incentive fee for
the year ended December 31, 2011 was related to unrealized appreciation on investments in periods prior to 2011. Such amounts were not material to current or to prior periods consolidated financial statements. For the period ended
December 31, 2009, the Company incurred no incentive fees, as the Company had not yet commenced principal operations.

The
Company has also entered into an Administration Agreement with the Advisor under which the Advisor will provide administrative services to the Company. Under the Administration Agreement, the Advisor performs, or oversees the performance of
administrative services necessary for the operation of the Company, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to the Companys
stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Advisor assists in determining and publishing the Companys net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of the Companys tax returns and the printing and dissemination
of reports to the Companys stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of the Companys expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. The Company will reimburse the
Advisor for its allocable portion of the costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor for overhead in performance by the Advisor of its duties under the Administration Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement, including facilities,
office equipment and our allocable portion of cost of compensation and related expenses of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and

their respective staffs, as well as any costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor relating to any administrative or operating services provided by the Advisors to the Company. Such costs are
reflected as Administrator expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Under the Administration Agreement, the Advisor provides, on behalf of the Company, managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the
Company is required to provide such assistance. To the extent that our Advisor outsources any of its functions, the Company pays the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without profit to the Advisor.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred administrator expenses payable to the Advisor of $2,871,778 and
$1,715,694, respectively, of which $338,569 and $166,250 was payable at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The
Company and THL Credit Advisors have entered into a license agreement with THL Partners under which THL Partners has granted to the Company and THL Credit Advisors a non-exclusive, personal, revocable worldwide non-transferable license to use the
trade name and service mark THL, which is a proprietary mark of THL Partners, for specified purposes in connection with the Companys and THL Credit Advisors respective businesses. This license agreement is royalty-free, which means the
Company is not charged a fee for its use of the trade name and service mark THL. The license agreement is terminable either in its entirety or with respect to the Company or THL Credit Advisors by THL Partners at any time in its sole discretion upon
60 days prior written notice, and is also terminable with respect to either the Company or THL Credit Advisors by THL Partners in the case of certain events of non-compliance.

Due to Affiliates

The Advisor and an affiliate of the Advisor paid
certain offering, organization and other general and administrative expenses on behalf of the Company. Such amounts, if any, have been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Due to affiliate as of December 31, 2011
and 2010.

Affiliated Stockholders

THL Credit Opportunities, L.P. and BDC Holdings own 6,974 and 8,951,220 shares, respectively, or 0.03% and 44.27%, respectively, of the Companys common stock as of December 31, 2011, compared
with 6,780 and 10,572,326 shares, respectively, or 0.03% and 53.08%, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.

4. Realized Gains

The Company recognized realized gains of $979,643 for the year ended December 31, 2011 in connection with the
monetization of its equity position in Anytime Worldwide in December 2011.

5. Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Per Share Resulting from Operations

The following information sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net increase (decrease) in net assets per share resulting from
operations:

Diluted net increase in net assets per share resulting from operations equals basic net increase in net
assets per share resulting from operations for each period because there were no common stock equivalents outstanding during the above periods.

6. Credit Facility

In
accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, with certain exceptions, the Company is only allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of
December 31, 2011, the Company had $5,000,000 of borrowings outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 3.8125%.

On March 11, 2011, the Company entered into a three-year $115 million syndicated credit facility (the Facility) with ING
Capital LLC (ING) with an accordion feature that provides for expansion of the Facility up to $125 million, subject to customary conditions. The Facility was expanded to $125 million on March 23, 2011. The Facility will expire on
March 11, 2014.

The Facility allows for the Company to borrow money at a rate of (i) LIBOR plus 3.50% with no LIBOR
floor or (ii) 2.5% per annum plus an alternate base rate based on the highest rate of the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or three month LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum. The Facility requires the payment of a non-use fee at a
rate of 1.00% per annum when the Company is using 50% or less of the Facility, and 0.50% per annum when the Company is using more than 50% of the Facility. Borrowings under the Facility are based on a borrowing base. The
Facility generally requires payment of interest on a quarterly basis for loans bearing interest at the alternate base rate, and at the end of the applicable interest period for loans bearing interest at LIBOR. All outstanding principal is due
upon maturity. The Facility also requires mandatory prepayment of interest and principal upon certain customary triggering events (including, without limitation, the disposition of assets or the issuance of certain securities).

The Facility has certain collateral requirements and/or financial covenants, including covenants related to: (a) limitations on the
incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that prohibit liens on certain
properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and (e) compliance with certain financial maintenance standards including (i) minimum stockholders equity, (ii) a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities) to total
indebtedness, of the Company and its subsidiaries, of not less than 2.25:1.0, (iii) minimum liquidity, (iv) minimum net worth, and (v) a consolidated interest coverage ratio. In addition to the financial maintenance standards,
described in the preceding sentence, borrowings under the Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in the
Companys portfolio.

##### Table of Contents

The Facility documents also include default provisions such as the failure to make timely
payments under the Facility, the occurrence of a change in control, and the failure by the Company to materially perform under the operative agreements governing the facility, which, if not complied with, could, at the option of the lenders
under the Facility, accelerate repayment under the Facility, thereby materially and adversely affecting the Companys liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. Each loan originated under the Facility is subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company cannot be assured that it will be able to borrow funds under the Facility at any particular time or at all. The Company is currently in compliance with all financial covenants under the Facility.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company borrowed $28,500,000 and made $23,500,000 of repayments under the
Facility. As of December 31, 2011, there were $5,000,000 of borrowings outstanding. Interest expense and related fees of $1,043,070 were incurred in connection with the facility during the year ended December 31, 2011.

7. Organizational and Offering Expenses

A portion of the net proceeds of the Companys initial public offering of 15,307,692 shares of common stock was used to pay organizational and offering expenses of $191,593 and $8,804,862,
respectively. Organizational expenses are expensed as incurred. Offering costs, which includes $7,586,313 of underwriters fees, have been charged against paid in capital in excess of par. For the year ended December 31, 2011, $327,267 of
offering costs related to the Companys shelf registration statement were incurred and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. All organizational and offering costs were borne by the Company.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company, or the Advisor may become party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings related to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with
our portfolio companies. Neither the Company, nor the Advisor, is currently subject to any material legal proceedings.

The
Company has the following revolving commitments to portfolio companies:

The Company has also agreed to provide $7,850,000 million of capital in a delayed draw and capital
expenditure facilities, as well as certain additional funding amounts of up to $4,666,667 million to a portfolio company to fund future acquisitions provided certain performance requirements and other conditions are met. As of December 31,
2011, such requirements and conditions had not been met.

The above amount of 2011 taxable income before deductions for dividends is an estimate. Taxable income
will be finalized before the Company files its Federal tax return in September 2012.

The tax character of distributions
declared and paid in 2011 represented $19,572,143 from ordinary income, $1,011,010 from long term capital gains and $0 from tax return of capital. The percentage of ordinary income distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2011
eligible for qualified dividend income treatment and for the 70% dividends received deduction for corporate stockholders is 1.4% and 1.4%, respectively. Generally accepted accounting principles require adjustments to certain components of net assets
to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These adjustments have no affect on net asset value per share. Permanent differences between financial and tax reporting at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $68,970 and
$26,836, respectively.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the cost of investments for tax purposes was $263,487,213 and
$152,566,056, respectively, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $3,506,119 and $963,123, respectively. There was no unrealized depreciation in the Companys investments at December 31, 2011 and 2010. At December 31, 2011 and
2010, the Company had no net capital loss carry forwards.

10. Dividends

The Company has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to maintain its status as a
regulated investment company, it is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income. The Company intends to make distributions to stockholders on a quarterly basis of substantially all of its net investment income. In
addition, although the Company intends to make distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually, out of assets legally available for such distributions, it may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

In addition, the Company may be limited in its ability to make distributions due to the BDC asset coverage test for borrowings
applicable to the Company as a BDC under the 1940 Act.

The following table summarizes the Companys dividends declared
and paid or to be paid on all shares to date:

##### Table of Contents

The Company may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow it to make
distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. If the Company does not distribute a certain percentage of its income annually, it will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of
its status as a regulated investment company. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions at a particular level.

On March 6, 2012, the Companys board of directors declared a dividend of $0.29 per share, payable on March 30, 2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 20,
2012. The dividend will be paid out of net income earned in the period from January 1, 2012 through March 31, 2012.

On March 6, 2012, the Companys board of directors declared a special dividend of $0.05 per share, payable on March 30,
2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2012. The dividend will be paid out of capital gains realized in 2011.

We maintain an opt in dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, unless stockholders specifically elect to have their dividends automatically reinvested in additional
shares of common stock, stockholders will receive all such dividends in cash. With respect to our dividends and distributions paid to stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2011, dividends reinvested pursuant to our dividend
reinvestment plan totaled $4,048,609.

Under the terms of our dividend reinvestment plan, dividends will primarily be paid in
newly issued shares of common stock. However, the Company reserves the right to purchase shares in the open market in connection with the implementation of the plan. This feature of the plan means that, under certain circumstances, we may issue
shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value per share, which could cause our stockholders to experience dilution.

Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated profits and earnings would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholders tax basis, and any remaining distributions
would be treated as a capital gain. Tax characteristics of all dividends will be reported to stockholders, as appropriate, on Form 1099-DIV after the end of the year. Our board of directors presently intends to declare and pay quarterly dividends.
Our ability to pay dividends could be affected by future business performance, liquidity, capital needs, alternative investment opportunities and loan covenants.

|Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures
|-------- | -----------------------

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, conducted an
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of THL Credit, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms we, us, our, and THL Credit refer to THL
Credit, Inc. and its Subsidiaries) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), and for performing an assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011
based upon the criteria set forth in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, management determined that our internal
control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.

The effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
