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

GENERAL

Sierra Income Corporation is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company incorporated in Maryland that has elected to be
treated and is regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The Company has elected and qualified to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as
a regulated investment company (RIC) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2012, and intends to qualify annually thereafter. We
are externally managed and advised by our investment adviser, SIC Advisors LLC (SIC Advisors) pursuant to an investment advisory agreement.

Our investment objective is to generate current income, and to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. We intend to meet our investment objective by primarily lending to, and investing in the
debt of privately owned U.S. middle market companies, which we define as companies with annual revenue between $50 million and $1 billion. We intend to focus primarily on making investments in first lien senior secured debt, second lien secured
debt, and to a lesser extent, subordinated debt, of middle market companies in a broad range of industries. We expect that the majority of our debt investments will bear interest at floating interest rates, but our portfolio may also include
fixed-rate investments. We will originate transactions sourced through SIC Advisors existing network, and, to a lesser extent, expect to acquire debt securities through the secondary market. We may make equity investments in companies that we
believe will generate appropriate risk adjusted returns, although we do not expect such investments to be a substantial portion of our portfolio.

Our investment activities are managed by our investment
adviser, SIC Advisors, which is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the Advisers Act), and a majority owned subsidiary of Medley, LLC. SIC Advisors is responsible for sourcing potential
investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring our portfolio on an ongoing basis.

Our investment management team, which is provided by our Advisor (SIC Advisors Investment Team or the Investment Team), has on average over 20 years of experience in the
credit business, including originating, underwriting, principal investing and loan structuring. Our Advisor, through Medley, has access to over 80 employees, including over 40 investment, origination and credit management professionals, and over 40
operations, marketing and distribution professionals, each with extensive experience in their respective disciplines.

Medley
serves as our administrator and provides us with office space, equipment and other office services. The responsibilities of our administrator include overseeing our financial records, preparing reports to our

stockholders and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and generally monitoring the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and
professional services rendered to us by others. See Administration Agreement and Fees below.

Formation

Sierra Income Corporation was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on June 13, 2011.

On April 17, 2012, we successfully reached our minimum escrow requirement and officially commenced our operations by receiving gross
proceeds of $10,000,000 in exchange for 1,108,033 shares of common stock sold to SIC Advisors. Our offering period was initially scheduled to terminate two years after the initial offering date or, April 16, 2014, unless extended. Most
recently, at a meeting held on March 2, 2016, our board of directors approved another extension of our offering for an additional year, which will extend the offering through April 17, 2017, unless further extended. Since commencing
operations, we have sold a total of 86,175,457 shares of common stock for total gross proceeds of $819 million. The proceeds from the issuance of common stock as presented in our consolidated statements of changes in net assets and consolidated
statements of cash flows are presented net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees.

Investment Process

Our Advisor, which is provided for by Medley, has cultivated what we believe to be a disciplined and repeatable process for executing,
monitoring, structuring and exiting investments.

Identification and Sourcing. Our Advisors experience and
reputation have allowed it to generate what we believe to be a substantial and continuous flow of attractive investment opportunities. Our Advisor maintains a strong and diverse network which results in sustained and high quality deal flow. We
believe that the breadth and depth of experience of SIC Advisors Investment Team across strategies and asset classes, coupled with significant relationships built over the last 20 years, make them particularly qualified to uncover, evaluate
and aggressively pursue what we believe to be attractive investment opportunities. By leveraging the broader Medley platforms deal flow network, we believe that SIC Advisors Investment Team has compiled a robust pipeline of transactions
ready for possible inclusion in our portfolio.

Disciplined Underwriting. SIC Advisors Investment Team performs
thorough due diligence and focuses on several key criteria in its underwriting process, including strong underlying business fundamentals, a meaningful equity cushion, experienced management, conservative valuation and the ability to deleverage
through cash flows. We expect to often be the agent for the loans we originate and accordingly control the loan documentation and negotiation of covenants, which will allow us to maintain consistent underwriting standards. Our Advisors
underwriting process also involves engagement of industry experts and third party consultants.

Prior to making an investment,
the Investment Team subjects each potential borrower to an extensive credit review process, which typically begins with an analysis of the market opportunity, business fundamentals, company operating metrics and historical and projected financial
analysis. The Investment Team also compares liquidity, operating margin trends, leverage, free cash flow and fixed charge coverage ratios for each potential investment to industry metrics. Areas of additional underwriting focus include management or
sponsor (typically a private equity firm) experience, management compensation, competitive landscape, regulatory environment, pricing power, defensibility of market share and tangible asset values. Background checks are conducted and tax compliance
information may also be requested on management teams and key employees. In addition, the Investment Team contacts customers, suppliers and competitors and perform on-site visits as part of a routine business due diligence process.

The Investment Team routinely uses third party consultants and market studies to corroborate valuation and industry specific due
diligence, as well as provide quality of earnings analysis. Experienced legal counsel is engaged to evaluate and mitigate regulatory, insurance, tax or other company-specific risks.

##### Table of Contents

After the Investment Team completes its final due diligence, each proposed investment is
presented to our Advisors investment committee (the Investment Committee) and subjected to extensive discussion and follow-up analysis, if necessary. A formal memorandum for each investment opportunity typically
includes the results of business due diligence, multi-scenario financial analysis, risk-management assessment, results of third-party consulting work, background checks (where applicable) and structuring proposals. Our Advisors Investment
Committee requires a majority vote to approve any investment, although unanimous agreement is sought.

Active Credit
Management. Our Advisor employs active credit management. Our Advisors process includes frequent interaction with management, monthly or quarterly review of financial information and attendance at board of directors meetings as
observers. The Investment Team also evaluates financial reporting packages provided by portfolio companies that detail operational and financial performance. Data is entered in our Advisors Asset Management System
(AMS), its proprietary, centralized electronic credit management database. AMS creates a centralized, dynamic electronic repository for all of our portfolio company data. Our Advisors AMS system
generates comprehensive, standardized reports which aggregate operational updates, portfolio company financial performance, asset valuations, macro trends, management call notes and account history. AMS enables the Investment Team to have real-time
access to the most recent information on our portfolio investments.

In addition to the data provided by our borrowers, our
Advisor may also utilize various third parties to provide checks and balances throughout the credit management process. Independent valuation firms may be engaged to provide appraisals of asset and collateral values or external forensic accounting
groups may be engaged to verify portfolio company financial reporting or perform cash reconciliation. Our Advisor believes this hands-on approach to credit management is a key contributor to our investment performance.

Investment Structure

For newly originated investments, SIC Advisors strives to negotiate an optimal combination of current and deferred interest payments,
equity participation and prepayment penalties, along with suitable covenants and creditor rights which will generally be greater than the rights normally obtained by institutional investors in comparable transactions and may include such provisions
as: specific rights to consult with and advise management, the right to inspect company books, records or facilities, as well as the right to review balance sheets and/or statements of income and cash flows of the company. SIC Advisors determines
whether the investment structure, particularly the amount of debt, is appropriate for the portfolio companys business, sometimes reassessing the investments risk/return profile and adjusting pricing and other terms as necessary. The
Advisors investment team has in-depth restructuring, liquidation and bankruptcy experience which is vital to success as a lender over market cycles.

Investment Committee

The purpose of the Investment Committee is to
evaluate and approve all investments by SIC Advisors Investment Team. The Investment Committee is comprised of six members selected from senior members of SIC Advisors Investment Team. Approval of an investment requires a majority vote
of the Investment Committee, although unanimous agreement is sought. The committee process is intended to bring the diverse experience and perspectives of the committee members to the analysis and consideration of every investment. The Investment
Committee also serves to provide consistency and adherence to SIC Advisors investment philosophies and policies. The Investment Committee also determines appropriate investment sizing and suggests ongoing monitoring requirements.

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 the investment committee are encouraged to share information and views on credits with the committee early in their analysis and throughout the evaluation process. This
process improves the quality of the analysis and assists the deal team members to work more efficiently.

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
Medley, as our administrator, for its allocated costs in providing such assistance subject to review and approval by our board of directors. Medley will provide such managerial assistance on our behalf to portfolio companies that request this
assistance.

Competition

Our primary competitors to provide financing to private and middle-market companies are public and private funds, commercial and investment banks, commercial finance companies, other BDCs, small business
investment companies (SBIC) and private equity and hedge funds. 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.

Staffing

We do not currently have any employees and do not expect to have any employees. Services necessary for our business are provided by
individuals who are employees of SIC Advisors and Medley, pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement and the administration agreement. Our day-to-day investment operations are managed by our Advisor. In addition, we reimburse Medley
for our allocable portion of expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of our officers and their respective staffs.

Administration

We
entered into an administration agreement with Medley Capital LLC (the Administration Agreement) pursuant to which Medley Capital LLC furnishes us with administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. Medley Capital
LLC is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on the Companys behalf in performing its obligations. Such costs are reasonably allocated to us on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. We do not
reimburse Medley Capital LLC for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of Medley Capital LLC. Medley Capital LLC is
an affiliate of SIC Advisors. See Administration Agreement and Fees.

As of December 31, 2015, the weighted average
yield based upon original cost on our portfolio investments, including the yield on the equity component of the TRS, was approximately 9.7%. With respect to our directly held investments, and without regard to any position through our TRS, 12.9% of
our income-bearing investment portfolio bore interest based on fixed rates, and 87.1% bore interest at floating rates, such as LIBOR or the Alternate Base Rate (ABR). The weighted average yield on income producing investments is computed
based upon a combination of the cash flows to date and the contractual interest payments, principal amortization and fee notes due at maturity without giving effect to closing fees received, base management fees, incentive fees or general fund
related expenses. Each floating rate loan uses LIBOR or ABR as its floating rate index. For each floating rate loan, the projected fixed-rate equivalent coupon rate used to forecast the interest cash flows was calculated by adding the interest rate
spread specified in the relevant loan document to the fixed-rate equivalent LIBOR or ABR rate, duration-matched to the specific loan, adjusted by the LIBOR or ABR floor and/or cap in place on that loan.

Investment Advisory Fees

We pay SIC Advisors a fee for its services under
the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components: a management fee and an incentive fee. We believe that this fee structure benefits stockholders by aligning the compensation of our Advisor with our overall investment performance. The
cost of both the management fee and the incentive fee are ultimately borne by our stockholders.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of our gross assets payable quarterly in arrears. For purposes of
calculating the base management fee, the term gross assets includes any assets acquired with the proceeds of leverage. The Advisor benefits when we incur debt or use leverage. The base management fee is calculated based on our gross
assets at the end of each completed calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial quarter are appropriately prorated.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee is divided into two parts: (i) a subordinated incentive fee on income and (ii) an incentive fee on capital
gains. Each part of the incentive fee is outlined below.

The subordinated incentive fee on income is earned on pre-incentive
fee net investment income and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar quarter during which the Investment Advisory Agreement is in effect. If the Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated, the fee will also become
payable as of the effective date of the termination.

The subordinated incentive fee on income for each quarter is calculated
as follows:



| |  |  | No subordinated incentive fee on income is payable in any calendar quarter in which the pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed a
quarterly return to investors of 1.75% per quarter on our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. We refer to this as the quarterly preferred return.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | All of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the quarterly preferred return, but is less than or equal to 2.1875% on our
net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter in any quarter, is payable to the Advisor. We refer to this portion of our subordinated incentive fee on income as the catch up. It is intended to provide an incentive fee of 20% on
all of our pre-incentive fee net investment income when our pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% on our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter in any quarter.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | For any quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% on our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal
quarter, the subordinated incentive fee on income equals 20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, because the preferred return and catch up will have been achieved.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Pre-incentive fee net investment income is defined as interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the calendar quarter, minus
our operating expenses for the quarter, including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement, any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee.
Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is a graphical representation of the calculation of the quarterly subordinated
incentive fee on income:



LOGO

Percentage of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Allocated to Quarterly Incentive Fee

The incentive fee on capital gains is earned on investments sold and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar
year during which the Investment Advisory Agreement is in effect. In the case the Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated, the fee will also become payable as of the effective date of such termination. The fee equals 20% of our realized capital
gains, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains. Incentive fee on capital gains is equal to our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, computed net of all realized capital losses and
unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis. In order to provide an incentive for our Advisor to successfully execute a merger transaction involving us that is financially accretive and/or otherwise beneficial to our stockholders even if
our Advisor will not act as an investment adviser to the surviving entity in the merger, we may seek exemptive relief from the SEC to allow us to pay our Advisor an incentive fee on capital gains in connection with our merger with and into another
entity. Absent the receipt of such relief, our Advisor will not be entitled to an incentive fee on capital gains or any other incentive fee in connection with any such merger transaction.

Because of the structure of the subordinated incentive fee on income and the incentive fee on capital gains, it is possible that we may
pay such fees in a quarter where we incur a net loss. For example, if we receive pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the 1.75% on our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter for a quarter, we will pay the
applicable incentive fee even if we have incurred a net loss in the quarter due to a realized or unrealized capital loss. Our Advisor will not be under any obligation to reimburse us for any part of the incentive fee it receives that is based on
prior period accrued income that we never receive as a result of a subsequent decline in the value of our portfolio.

The fees
that are payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement for any partial period will be appropriately prorated. The fees will also be calculated using a detailed policy and procedure approved by our Advisor and our board of directors, including a
majority of the independent directors, and such policy and procedure will be consistent with the description of the calculation of the fees set forth above.

Our Advisor may elect to defer or waive all or a portion of the fees that would otherwise be paid to it in its sole discretion. Any portion of a fee not taken as to any month, quarter or year will be
deferred without interest and may be taken in any such other month prior to the occurrence of a liquidity event as our Advisor may determine in its sole discretion.

Reimbursements

Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, SIC Advisors bears all organizational and offering expenses on our behalf. Since June 2, 2014, the date that we raised $300 million in gross proceeds
in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock, SIC Advisors has no longer been obligated to bear, pay or otherwise be responsible for any ongoing organization and offering expenses on our behalf, and we have been responsible for paying
or otherwise incurring all such ongoing organizational and offering expenses. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse SIC Advisors for any such organizational and offering expenses incurred by SIC
Advisors not to exceed 1.25% of the gross subscriptions raised by us over the course of the offering period, which was initially scheduled to terminate two years from the initial offering date, unless extended. At a meeting held on March 2,
2016, our board of directors approved another extension of our offering for an additional year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that organizational and offering expenses, together with sales commissions, the dealer manager fee and any
discounts paid to members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our registration statement or otherwise at the time of the completion of our offering,
then SIC Advisors shall be required to pay or, if already paid by us, reimburse us for amounts exceeding such 15% limit.

Advisory Services

Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, our Advisor is responsible for the following:



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



| |  |  | identifying, evaluating, negotiating and structuring the investments we make;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | executing, closing, servicing and monitoring the investments we make;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | determining the securities and other assets that we will purchase, retain or sell; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | providing us with such other investment advisory, research and related services as we may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of
our capital.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, SIC Advisors has a fiduciary responsibility for the
safeguarding and use of all of our funds and assets. SIC Advisors is also subject to liability under both the 1940 Act and the Advisors Act for a breach of these fiduciary duties.

SIC Advisors is primarily responsible for initially identifying, evaluating, negotiating and structuring our investments. These
activities are carried out by its investment team and subject to the oversight of SIC Advisors senior investment personnel. Each investment that we make will require the majority vote of the Investment Committee before the investment may be
made. Certain affiliated co-investment transactions may require the additional approval of our independent directors.

SIC
Advisors services under the Investment Advisory 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.

Indemnification of Our Advisor

The Investment Advisory Agreement provides
that the Advisor and its officers, directors, persons associated with SIC Advisors, stockholders (and owners of the stockholders), controlling persons and agents are entitled to indemnification from us for any damages, liabilities, costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) incurred by them in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed

##### Table of Contents

action, suit, investigation or other proceedings arising out of or otherwise based on the performance of any of SIC Advisors duties or obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement,
as applicable, or otherwise as our investment adviser, (i) to the extent such damages, liabilities, cost and expenses (A) are not fully reimbursed by insurance and (B) do not arise by reason of misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in
SIC Advisors performance of such duties or obligations, or SIC Advisors reckless disregard of such duties or obligations, and (ii) otherwise to the fullest extent such indemnification is consistent with the provisions of our
articles of incorporation, the 1940 Act, the laws of the State of Maryland and other applicable law.

The Investment Advisory
Agreement further provides that SIC Advisors and its officers, directors, persons associated with SIC Advisors, stockholders (and owners of the stockholders), controlling persons and agents are not entitled to indemnification for any liability or
loss suffered by them, nor will they be held harmless for any loss or liability suffered by us, unless (i) SIC Advisors has determined, in good faith, that the course of conduct which caused the loss or liability was in our best interests; (ii) SIC
Advisors was acting on behalf of or performing services for us; (iii) such liability or loss was not the result of misconduct or negligence by SIC Advisors; and (iv) such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of our
net assets and not from stockholders.

Term; Effective Date

The Investment Advisory Agreement was initially approved by our board of directors on April 5, 2012 and, pursuant to the 1940 Act, remained in effect for a period of two years. Unless earlier
terminated as described below, the Investment Advisory Agreement will remain in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually at an in-person meeting of our board of directors by a majority of our directors who are not interested persons,
or by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.

Most recently, our board of directors held an in-person
meeting on March 2, 2016, in order to consider and approve the annual approval and continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement. In its consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the board of directors focused on information it had
received relating to, among other things: (a) the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services to be provided to us by our investment adviser, SIC Advisors; (b) comparative data with respect to advisory fees or similar
expenses paid by other BDCs with similar investment objectives; (c) our projected operating expenses and expense ratio compared to BDCs with similar investment objectives; (d) any existing and potential sources of indirect income to SIC
Advisors from its relationships with us and the profitability of those relationships; (e) information about the services to be performed and the personnel performing such services under the investment management agreement; (f) the
organizational capability and financial condition of SIC Advisors and its affiliates; and (g) various other factors.

Based on the information reviewed and the discussions, the board of directors, including a majority of the non-interested directors,
concluded that the investment management fee rates and terms are reasonable in relation to the services to be provided and approved the Investment Advisory Agreement for a period of one additional year, which will expire on April 5, 2017.

ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT AND FEES

Administrative Services

Under the terms of the Administration Agreement,
and on our behalf, Medley Capital LLC performs or oversees the performance of various administrative services that we require. These include investor services, general ledger accounting, fund accounting, maintaining required financial records,
calculating our net asset value, filing tax returns, preparing and filing SEC reports, preparing, printing and disseminating stockholder reports and generally overseeing the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and
professional services rendered to us by others. Medley provides us with facilities and access to personnel necessary for our business and these services. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, we reimburse Medley for administrative
expenses it incurs in performing its obligations.

##### Table of Contents

Additionally, as a BDC, we must offer managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. This
managerial assistance may include monitoring the operations of our portfolio companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising officers of our portfolio companies and providing other organizational and financial
guidance. Medley will make available such managerial assistance, on our behalf, to our portfolio companies whether or not they request this assistance. We may receive fees for these services and will reimburse Medley for its allocated costs in
providing such assistance, subject to review and approval by our board of directors.

Term; Effective Date

The Administration Agreement was approved by our board of directors on February 16, 2012, and became effective on April 17, 2012, the date
that we met our minimum offering requirement. Pursuant to its terms, and unless earlier terminated as described below, the Administration Agreement remained in effect for a period of two years from the date it first became effective and will remain
in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually by a majority of our directors who are not interested persons or the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities. Most recently, on March 2, 2016, our board of directors held
an in-person meeting in order to consider the annual approval and continuation of our Administration Agreement. Based on the information relating to the terms of the Administration Agreement and the discussions held, the board of directors,
including a majority of the non-interested directors, approved the Administration Agreement as being in the best interests of our stockholders. Specifically the board of directors approved the extension of the Administration Agreement for a period
of one additional year, which will expire on April 5, 2017.

We may terminate the Administration Agreement with Medley
Capital LLC on 60 days written notice without penalty. Medley Capital LLC may terminate the Administration Agreement on 120 days written notice without penalty.

REGULATION

General

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 will generally not be able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. We may, however, sell our
common stock, or warrants, options, or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the then-current net asset value of our common stock if our board of directors determines that such sale is in our best interests and the best interests of
our stockholders, and our stockholders approve such sale. In addition, we may generally issue new shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value in rights offerings to existing stockholders, in payment of dividends, and in certain other
limited circumstances.

As a BDC, we are required to meet a coverage ratio of the value of total assets to senior securities,
which include all of our borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. We may also



31

##### Table of Contents

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.

Legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives during the 113th
Congress intended to revise certain regulations applicable to BDCs. The legislation provided for (i) modifying the asset coverage ratio from 200% to 150%, (ii) permitting BDCs to file registration statements with the SEC that incorporate information
from already-filed reports by reference, (iii) utilizing other streamlined registration processes afforded to operating companies, and (iv) allowing BDCs to own investment adviser subsidiaries. The legislation was not enacted by the previous
Congress and has not been introduced to the 114th Congress. There are no assurances as to when the legislation will be enacted by Congress, if at all, or, if enacted, what final form the legislation would take.

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.

Generally, BDCs are prohibited under the 1940 Act from
knowingly participating in certain transactions with its affiliates without the prior approval of its board of directors who are not interested persons and, in some cases, prior approval by the SEC. The SEC has interpreted the prohibition on
transactions with affiliates to prohibit joint transactions among entities that share a common investment adviser. The staff of the SEC has granted no-action relief permitting purchases of a single class of privately placed securities,
provided that the adviser negotiates no term other than price and certain other conditions are met. However, on November 25, 2013, we received an exemptive order (the Exemptive Order) from the SEC that permits us to participate in
negotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates, including Medley Capital Corporation, a publicly traded BDC, each of whose investment adviser is Medley LLC or an investment adviser controlled by Medley LLC, in a manner consistent with
our investment objective, strategies and restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. Co-investment under the Exemptive Order is subject to certain conditions therein, including the condition that, in the case of
each co-investment transaction, our board of directors determines that it would be advantageous for us to co-invest in a manner described in the Exemptive Order.

In situations where co-investment with other funds managed by SIC Advisors or its affiliates is not permitted or appropriate, such as when there is an opportunity to invest in different securities of the
same issuer or where the different investments could be expected to result in a conflict between our interests and those of other clients of SIC Advisors or its affiliates, SIC Advisors or its affiliates will need to decide which client will proceed
with the investment. SIC Advisors and/or its affiliates will make these determinations based on their policies and procedures, which generally require that such opportunities be offered to eligible accounts on an alternating basis that will be fair
and equitable over time. Moreover, except in certain circumstances, we will be unable to invest in any issuer in which a fund managed by SIC Advisors or its affiliates has previously invested. Similar restrictions limit our ability to transact
business with our officers or directors or their affiliates.

Under the terms of the Exemptive Order permitting us to
co-invest with other funds managed by SIC Advisors or its affiliates, a required majority (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent



32

##### Table of Contents

directors must make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction are reasonable and fair to us and our
stockholders and do not involve overreaching of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our investment strategies and
policies.

Business Development Company Regulation: 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. As discussed in greater detail below, the 1940 Act defines qualifying assets as principally
including certain investments by a BDC in eligible portfolio companies. An eligible portfolio company is defined under the 1940 Act as any issuer which:



| | 1. | is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of business in, the United States;
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly owned by the BDC) or a company that would be an investment company but for certain
exclusions under the 1940 Act; and
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | satisfies any of the following:
| | -- | -------------------------------



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



| | b. | has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange, but has a market capitalization of less than $250 million;
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | c. | is controlled by a BDC, either alone or as part of a group acting together, and the BDC has an affiliated person who is a director of the eligible portfolio company; or
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | d. | is a small and solvent company having total assets of not more than $4 million and capital and surplus of not less than $2 million.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As relevant to our proposed business, the principal categories of qualifying assets under the 1940 Act are the following:



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



| | 2. | Securities of any eligible portfolio company that we control.
| | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------



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



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



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



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

In addition, a BDC must have been organized and have its principal place of business in the United States and be operated for the purpose
of making investments in the types of securities described above.

##### Table of Contents

For purposes of Section 55(a) under the 1940 Act, we will treat each asset underlying
the TRS as a qualifying asset if the obligor on such asset is an eligible portfolio company and as a non-qualifying asset if the obligor is not an eligible portfolio company. We may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in
accordance with any applicable new rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Business Development Company Regulation:
Control and Managerial Assistance to Portfolio Companies

BDCs generally must offer to make available to the issuer of the
securities significant managerial assistance, except in circumstances where either (i) the BDC controls such issuer of securities or (ii) the BDC purchases such securities in conjunction with one or more other persons acting together and one of the
other persons in the group makes available such managerial assistance. Making available managerial assistance means, among other things, any arrangement whereby the BDC, through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if
accepted, does so provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company.

Temporary Investments

Pending investment in other types of
qualifying assets, as described above, our investments may consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, which we refer to as
temporary investments, so that 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets. Typically, we intend to invest in U.S. Treasury bills or in repurchase agreements, provided that such agreements are fully collateralized by cash or securities
issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. A repurchase agreement involves the purchase by an investor, such as us, of a specified security and the simultaneous agreement by the seller to repurchase it at an agreed-upon future date and at a
price that is greater than the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate. There is no percentage restriction on the proportion of our assets that may be invested in such repurchase agreements. However, if more than 25%
of our total assets constitute repurchase agreements from a single counterparty, we may not meet the diversification requirements in order to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, we do not intend to enter into repurchase
agreements with a single counterparty in excess of this limit. We expect that our Advisor will monitor 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. Under the 1940 Act, we may generally only offer warrants provided that (i) the warrants expire by their terms within ten years, (ii) the exercise or conversion price is not less than the
current market value at the date of issuance, (iii) our stockholders authorize the proposal to issue such warrants, and our board of directors approves such issuance on the basis that the issuance is in the best interests of us and our stockholders
and (iv) if the warrants are accompanied by other securities, the warrants are not separately transferable unless no class of such warrants and the securities accompanying them has been publicly distributed. The 1940 Act also provides that the
amount of our voting securities that would result from the exercise of all outstanding warrants, as well as options and rights, at the time of issuance may not exceed 25% of our outstanding voting securities. 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 debt 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 senior securities remain outstanding, we must prohibit any



34

##### Table of Contents

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 purposes of the asset coverage ratio test applicable to us as a BDC, we will treat the outstanding notional amount of the TRS, less
the initial amount of any cash collateral required to be posted by Arbor under the TRS, as a senior security for the life of that instrument. We may, however, accord different treatment to the TRS in the future in accordance with any applicable new
rules or interpretations adopted by the staff of the SEC.

Code of Ethics

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. Persons subject to these codes 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s requirements. We have attached our code of ethics as an exhibit to our registration statement. You may also read and copy our code of ethics at the SECs Public Reference Room located at 100 F Street, NE,
Washington, DC 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, our code of ethics is available on the EDGAR Database on the SECs Internet site at
http://www.sec.gov.You may also obtain copies of our code of ethics, 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, NE, Washington, DC 20549.

Compliance Policies and Procedures

We and our Advisor have each adopted and implemented written compliance policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violation
of the federal securities laws and are required to review these compliance policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation. Our chief compliance officer is responsible for administering our
compliance policies and procedures and our Advisors chief compliance officer is responsible for administering the compliance policies and procedures for the Advisor.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

We have delegated our proxy voting
responsibility to SIC Advisors. SIC Advisors will vote proxies according to our proxy voting policies and procedures which are set forth below. These guidelines are reviewed periodically by the Advisor as well as our board of directors, and,
accordingly, are subject to change.

As an investment advisor registered under the 1940 Act, SIC Advisors has a fiduciary duty
to act solely in the best interests of its clients. As part of this duty, it recognizes that it must vote client securities in a timely manner free of conflicts of interest and in the best interests of its clients. These policies and procedures for
voting proxies for the investment advisory clients of SIC Advisors are intended to comply with Section 206 of, and Rule 206(4)-6 under, the 1940 Act.

Proxy Policies

SIC Advisors will vote proxies relating to our
securities in a manner that it believes, in its discretion, to be in the best interest of our stockholders. It will review on a case-by-case basis each proposal submitted for a stockholder vote taking into account relevant factors, including:
(1) the impact on the value of the securities; (2) the anticipated costs and benefits associated with the proposal; (3) the effect on liquidity; and (4) customary industry and business practices. Although SIC Advisors will
generally vote against proposals that may have a negative impact on its clients portfolio securities, it may vote for such a proposal if there exists compelling long-term reasons to do so.

Securities Exchange Act and Sarbanes-Oxley Act

We are subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Exchange Act, including the filing of quarterly, annual and current reports, proxy statements and other required items. In addition, we
are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which imposes a wide variety of regulatory requirements on publicly-held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements will affect us. For example:



| |  |  | pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are required to certify the accuracy of the
financial statements contained in our periodic reports;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, our management is required to prepare a report regarding its assessment of our internal control over
financial reporting; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires us to review our policies and procedures to determine whether
we comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and its regulations. We intend to monitor our compliance with all regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance.

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

Election
to Be Taxed as a RIC

We have elected and intend to continue to qualify to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the
Code. As a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders 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 to obtain and 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, or the Annual Distribution Requirement.

Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company

If we:



| |  |  | 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.

We will
be subject to a 4% nondeductible U.S. 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 the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax, or the Excise Tax Avoidance
Requirement. We generally will endeavor in each taxable year to avoid any U.S. federal excise tax on our earnings.

In order
to maintain our qualification as a RIC for U.S. 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, or 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, or the
Diversification Tests.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For U.S. 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. 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



37

##### Table of Contents

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 U.S. federal income tax. 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.

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. See Regulation  Senior Securities. As a result, we may be prohibited from making
distributions necessary to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement. Even if we are not prohibited from making distributions, our ability to raise additional capital to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement may be limited. If we are not
able to make sufficient distributions to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, we may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax.

Certain of our investment practices may be subject to special and complex U.S. federal income tax provisions that may, among other
things, (1) treat dividends that would otherwise constitute qualified dividend income as non-qualified dividend income, (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 intend to monitor its 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 U.S. 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 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.

Failure to Maintain Our Qualification as
a RIC

If we fail to satisfy the 90% Income Test or the Diversification Tests for any taxable year, we may nevertheless
continue to qualify as a RIC for such year if certain relief provisions are applicable (which may, among other things, require us to pay certain corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes or to dispose of certain assets).

If we were unable to qualify for treatment as a RIC and the foregoing relief provisions are not applicable, we would be subject to tax on
all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates, regardless of whether we make

##### Table of Contents

any distributions to our stockholders. Distributions would not be required, and any distributions made in taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2012 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 provided certain holding period and other requirements were
met. 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. To requalify as a RIC in a subsequent taxable year, we would be required to satisfy the RIC qualification requirements for
that year and dispose of any earnings and profits from any year in which we failed to qualify as a RIC. Subject to a limited exception applicable to RICs that qualified as such under Subchapter M of the Code for at least one year prior to
disqualification and that requalify as a RIC no later than the second year following the nonqualifying year, we could be subject to tax on any unrealized net built-in gains in the assets held by us during the period in which we failed to qualify as
a RIC that are recognized within the subsequent 10 years (or shorter applicable period), unless we made a special election to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on such built-in gain at the time of our requalification as a RIC.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Legislation was enacted on March 18, 2010 that will impose a 30% U.S. withholding tax on dividends paid by U.S. issuers to a foreign financial institution and on the gross proceeds from the
disposition of stock paid to a foreign financial institution after December 31, 2018, unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department (Treasury) to collect and provide to Treasury substantial
information regarding U.S. account holders, including certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners, with such institution. The legislation also generally imposes a withholding tax of 30% on dividends paid by U.S. issuers and on
the gross proceeds from the disposition of stock paid to a non-financial foreign entity unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or a certification identifying the
direct and indirect substantial U.S. owners of the entity. Under certain circumstances, a holder may be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Investors are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of
this recently enacted legislation on their investment in shares of our common stock.

Item 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a number of significant risks. In addition to the other information contained in this annual report on Form 10-K, you should consider carefully the following
information before making an investment in our common stock. The risks below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or not presently deemed material by us may also impair our operations and
performance. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the net asset value of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or
part of your investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Structure

The capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability. Such market conditions may materially and adversely affect debt and equity capital markets, which may have a negative impact
on our business and operations.

From time to time, capital markets may experience periods of disruption and
instability. For example, between 2008 and 2009, the global capital markets were unstable as evidenced by periodic disruptions in 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 major financial institutions. Despite actions of the



39

##### Table of Contents

U.S. federal government and foreign governments, these events contributed to worsening general economic conditions that materially and adversely impacted the broader financial and credit markets
and reduced the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole and financial services firms in particular. While market conditions have largely recovered from the events of 2008 and 2009, there have been continuing periods of
volatility, some lasting longer than others. For example, in the latter half of 2015 and continuing through the date of this annual report, economic uncertainty and market volatility in China and geopolitical unrest in the Middle East, combined with
continued volatility of oil prices, among other factors, have caused disruption in the capital markets, including the markets in which we participate. There can be no assurance these market conditions will not continue or worsen in the future.

Equity capital may be difficult to raise during periods of adverse or volatile market conditions because, subject to some
limited exceptions, as a BDC, we are generally not able to issue additional shares of our common stock at a price less than net asset value without first obtaining approval for such issuance from our stockholders and our independent directors.

Volatility and dislocation in the capital markets can also create a challenging environment in which to raise or access debt
capital. The reappearance of market conditions similar to those experienced from 2008 through 2009 for any substantial length of time could make it difficult to extend the maturity of or refinance our existing indebtedness or obtain new indebtedness
with similar terms and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business. The debt capital that will be available to us in the future, if at all, may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions than what we
currently experience. If we are unable to raise or refinance debt, then our equity investors may not benefit from the potential for increased returns on equity resulting from leverage and we may be limited in our ability to make new commitments or
to fund existing commitments to our portfolio companies.

Significant changes or volatility in the capital markets may also
have a negative effect on the valuations of our investments. While most of our investments are not publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require us to assume as part of our valuation process that our investments are sold in a principal
market to market participants (even if we plan on holding an investment through its maturity). Significant changes in the capital markets may also affect the pace of our investment activity and the potential for liquidity events involving our
investments. Thus, the illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell such investments to access capital if required, and as a result, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded our investments
if we were required to sell them for liquidity purposes. An inability to raise or access capital could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

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

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

In 2010, a financial crisis emerged in Europe,
triggered by high budget deficits and rising direct and contingent sovereign debt in Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain, which created concerns about the ability of these nations to continue to service their sovereign debt obligations. While
the financial stability of many of such countries has improved significantly, risks resulting from any future debt crisis in Europe or any similar



40



---

##### Table of Contents

crisis could have a detrimental impact on the global economic recovery, sovereign and non-sovereign debt in these countries and the financial condition of European financial institutions. In July
and August 2015, Greece reached agreements with its international creditors for bailouts that provide aid in exchange for austerity terms that had previously been rejected by Greek voters. Market and economic disruptions have affected, and may in
the future affect, consumer confidence levels and spending, personal bankruptcy rates, levels of incurrence and default on consumer debt and home prices, among other factors. We cannot assure you that market disruptions in Europe, including the
increased cost of funding for certain governments and financial institutions, will not impact the global economy, and we cannot assure you that assistance packages will be available, or if available, be sufficient to stabilize countries and markets
in Europe or elsewhere affected by a financial crisis. To the extent uncertainty regarding any economic recovery in Europe negatively impacts consumer confidence and consumer credit factors, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be significantly and adversely affected.

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

In October 2014, the Federal Reserve announced
that it was concluding its bond-buying program, or quantitative easing, which was designed to stimulate the economy and expand the Federal Reserves holdings of long-term securities, suggesting that key economic indicators, such as the
unemployment rate, had showed signs of improvement since the inception of the program. It is unclear what effect, if any, the conclusion of the Federal Reserves bond-buying program will have on the value of our investments. Additionally, in
December 2015, the Federal Reserve announced a raise in the target range for the federal funds rate, based on a perceived improvement in economic conditions. The Federal Reserve also emphasized its plan to lift the target benchmark rate gradually
over a three-year period, pending economic factors such as a rise in inflation. However, if key economic indicators, such as the unemployment rate or inflation, do not progress at a rate consistent with the Federal Reserves objectives, the
Federal Reserve may deviate from its announced plan, causing interest rates and borrowing costs to rise at an increased rate, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. We can make no assurances as to how
the Federal Reserve will adjust the benchmark rate in the future. These developments, along with the United States governments credit and deficit concerns and the European sovereign debt crisis, could cause interest rates and borrowing costs
to rise, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms.

Any further disruptive
conditions in the financial industry and the impact of new legislation in response to those conditions could restrict our business operations and could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the BDC market
may be more sensitive to changes in interest rates or other factors and to the extent the BDC market trades down, our shares might likewise be affected. If the fair value of our assets declines substantially, we may fail to maintain the asset
coverage ratios imposed upon us by the 1940 Act. Any such failure would affect our ability to issue securities, including borrowings, and pay dividends, which could materially impair our business operations. Our liquidity could be impaired further
by an inability to access the capital markets or to consummate new borrowing facilities to provide capital for normal operations, including new originations. In recent years, reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets, many
lenders and institutional investors have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers.

Our business and operation could be
negatively affected if we become subject to any securities litigation or stockholder activism, which could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of investment strategy and impact our stock price.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a companys securities, securities class-action litigation has
often been brought against that company. Stockholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing in the BDC space recently. While we are currently



41

##### Table of Contents

not subject to any securities litigation or stockholder activism, due to the potential volatility of our stock price and for a variety of other reasons, we may in the future become the target of
securities litigation or stockholder activism. Securities litigation and stockholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs and divert managements and our board of directors attention and
resources from our business. Additionally, such securities litigation and stockholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to our future, adversely affect our relationships with service providers and make it more difficult to
attract and retain qualified personnel. Also, we may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any securities litigation and activist stockholder matters. Further, our stock price could be subject to significant
fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties of any securities litigation and stockholder activism.

We are highly dependent on information systems and systems failures could significantly disrupt our business, which may, in turn, negatively affect
the market price of our common stock and our ability to pay dividends.

Our business is highly dependent on our and
third parties communications and information systems. Any failure or interruption of those systems, including as a result of the termination of an agreement with any third-party service providers, could cause delays or other problems in our
activities. Our financial, accounting, data processing, backup or other operating systems and facilities may fail to operate properly or become disabled or damaged as a result of a number of factors including events that are wholly or partially
beyond our control and adversely affect our business. There could be:



| |  |  | sudden electrical or telecommunications outages;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | disease pandemics;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | events arising from local or larger scale political or social matters, including terrorist acts; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cyber-attacks.
| | - |  | --------------

These events, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and negatively affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.

We face cyber-security risks. If we are unable to maintain the availability of our electronic data systems and safeguard the security
of our data, our ability to conduct business may be compromised, which could impair our liquidity, disrupt our business, damage our reputation and cause losses.

Cybersecurity refers to the combination of technologies, processes, and procedures established to protect information technology systems and data from unauthorized access, attack, or damage. We are
subject to cybersecurity risks. Information cyber security risks have significantly increased in recent years and, while we have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber attacks or other information security breaches, we could suffer
such losses in the future. Our computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses or other malicious code and other events that could have a security impact. If one or more of such events occur, this
potentially could jeopardize confidential and other information, including nonpublic personal information and sensitive business data, processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause
interruptions or malfunctions in our operations or the operations of our customers or counterparties, which could result in significant losses or reputational damage. This could result in significant losses, reputational damage, litigation,
regulatory fines or penalties, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Privacy and information security laws and regulation changes, and compliance with those changes, may result in cost increases
due to system changes and the development of new administrative processes. In addition, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measures and to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other
exposures arising from operational and security risks. We currently do not maintain



42



---

##### Table of Contents

insurance coverage relating to cybersecurity risks, and we may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measures or to investigate and remediate
vulnerabilities or other exposures, and we may be subject to litigation and financial losses that are not fully insured.

Third parties with which we do business may also be sources of cybersecurity or other technological risks.

Cyber security failures or breaches by our investment adviser and other service providers (including, but not limited to, accountants,
custodians, transfer agents and administrators), and the issuers of securities in which we invest, also have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with our ability to
calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of our stockholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation
costs, or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future.

We outsource certain functions and these relationships allow for the storage and processing of our information, as well as customer, counterparty, employee and borrower information. While we engage in
actions to reduce our exposure resulting from outsourcing, ongoing threats may result in unauthorized access, loss, exposure or destruction of data, or other cybersecurity incidents, with increased costs and other consequences, including those
described above.

Difficult market and political conditions may adversely affect our business in many ways, including by reducing the
value or hampering the performance of the investments made by our funds, each of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business is materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic and political conditions throughout the
world, such as interest rates, availability and cost of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws (including laws relating to our taxation, taxation of our investors, the possibility of changes to tax laws in either the United
States or any non-U.S. jurisdiction and regulations on asset managers), trade barriers, commodity prices, currency exchange rates and controls and national and international political circumstances (including wars, terrorist acts and security
operations). These factors are outside of our control and may affect the level and volatility of asset prices and the liquidity and value of investments, and we may not be able to or may choose not to manage our exposure to these conditions. Ongoing
developments in the U.S. and global financial markets following the turmoil in the global capital markets and the financial services industry in late 2008 and early 2009 continue to illustrate that the current environment is still one of uncertainty
and instability for investment management businesses. These and other conditions in the global financial markets and the global economy may result in adverse consequences for our funds and their respective investee companies, which could restrict
such funds investment activities and impede such funds ability to effectively achieve their investment objectives.

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

If we fail
to maintain our status as a BDC, we might be regulated as a closed-end investment company that is required to register under the 1940 Act, which would subject us to additional regulatory restrictions and significantly decrease our operating
flexibility. In addition, any such failure could cause an event of default under our outstanding indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We may suffer credit losses.

Private debt in the form of secured loans to corporate and asset-based borrowers is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk of credit loss, and therefore an investment in our securities may
not be suitable for someone with a low tolerance for risk. These risks are likely to increase during an economic recession, such as the economic recession or downturn that the United States and many other countries have recently experienced or are
experiencing.

Changes relating to the LIBOR calculation process may adversely affect the value of our portfolio of
the LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities.

In the recent past, concerns have been publicized that some of the
member banks surveyed by the British Bankers Association (BBA) in connection with the calculation of LIBOR across a range of maturities and currencies may have been under-reporting or otherwise manipulating the inter-bank lending
rate applicable to them in order to profit on their derivatives positions or to avoid an appearance of capital insufficiency or adverse reputational or other consequences that may have resulted from reporting inter-bank lending rates higher than
those they actually submitted. A number of BBA member banks entered into settlements with their regulators and law enforcement agencies with respect to alleged manipulation of LIBOR, and investigations by regulators and governmental authorities in
various jurisdictions are ongoing.

Actions by the BBA, regulators or law enforcement agencies as a result of these or future
events, may result in changes to the manner in which LIBOR is determined. Potential changes, or uncertainty related to such potential changes may adversely affect the market for LIBOR-based securities, including our portfolio of LIBOR-indexed,
floating-rate debt securities. In addition, any further changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on the market for
LIBOR-based securities or the value of our portfolio of LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities.

Price declines in the corporate
leveraged loan market may adversely affect the fair value of our portfolio, reducing our net asset value through increased net unrealized depreciation.

Prior to the onset of the financial crisis that began in 2007, securitized investment vehicles, hedge funds and other highly leveraged non-bank financial institutions comprised the majority of the market
for purchasing and holding senior and subordinated debt. As the trading price of the loans underlying these portfolios began to deteriorate beginning in the first quarter of 2007, we believe that many institutions were forced to raise cash by
selling their interests in performing assets in order to satisfy margin requirements or the equivalent of margin requirements imposed by their lenders. This resulted in a forced deleveraging cycle of price declines, compulsory sales, and further
price declines, with falling underlying credit values, widespread redemption requests, and other constraints resulting from the credit crisis generating further selling pressure.

Conditions in the medium- and large-sized U.S. corporate debt market may experience similar or worse disruption or deterioration in the
future, which may cause pricing levels to similarly decline or be volatile. As a result, our net asset value could decline through an increase in unrealized depreciation and incurrence of realized losses in connection with the sale of our
investments, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to
achieve our investment objective depends on our Advisors ability to manage and support our investment process. If the Advisor was to lose a significant number of its key professionals, our ability to achieve our investment objective could be
significantly harmed.

We have no internal management capacity or employees other than our appointed executive officers
and are dependent upon the investment expertise, skill and network of business contacts of our Advisor to achieve our investment objective. Our Advisor will evaluate, negotiate, structure, execute, monitor, and service our investments. Our future
success depends to a significant extent on the continued service and coordination of our Advisor, including its key professionals. The departure of a significant number of our Advisors key professionals could have a material adverse effect on
our ability to achieve our investment objective.

Our ability to achieve our investment objective also depends on the ability
of our Advisor to identify, analyze, invest in, finance, and monitor companies that meet our investment criteria. Our Advisors capabilities in structuring the investment process, providing competent, attentive and efficient services to us, and
facilitating

##### Table of Contents

access to financing on acceptable terms depend on the involvement of investment professionals in an adequate number and of adequate sophistication to match the corresponding flow of transactions.
To achieve our investment objective, our Advisor may need to retain, hire, train, supervise, and manage new investment professionals to participate in our investment selection and monitoring process. Our Advisor may not be able to find qualified
investment professionals in a timely manner or at all. Any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the Investment Advisory Agreement has termination provisions that allow the agreement to be terminated by us on 60
days notice or by SIC Advisors on 120 days notice without penalty.

We depend upon senior management personnel of SIC
Advisors for our future success, and if SIC Advisors is unable to retain qualified personnel or if SIC Advisors loses any member of its senior management team, our ability to achieve our investment objective could be significantly harmed.

We depend on our investment management team, or the Investment Team, which is provided by SIC Advisors, for the
identification, final selection, structuring, closing and monitoring of our investments. Our Investment Team is integral to our asset management activities and has critical industry experience and relationships that we will rely on to implement our
business plan. Our future success depends on our Investment Teams continued service to SIC Advisors. The departure of any of the members of SIC Advisors 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 SIC Advisors will
remain our investment adviser or our administrator.

Our investment adviser may not be able to achieve the same or similar returns as
those achieved in the past by our senior management and Investment Team.

The track record and achievements of the
senior management and Investment Team of SIC Advisors are not necessarily indicative of future results that will be achieved by our investment adviser. As a result, our investment adviser may not be able to achieve the same or similar returns as
those achieved by our senior management and Investment Team during their tenure with SIC Advisors or while they were employed at prior positions.

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 and qualified to be taxed for U.S. federal
income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we must meet certain requirements, including source-of-income, asset diversification and distribution requirements in order to not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income
taxes on income we distribute to our stockholders as dividends, which allows us to substantially reduce or eliminate our corporate-level U.S. federal income 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 of our leverage. Because we
will continue to need capital to grow our investment portfolio, this limitation may prevent us from incurring debt or issuing 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 NAV 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 NAV could decline.

The amount of any distributions we pay is uncertain. We may not be able to pay you distributions or be
able to sustain them and our distributions may not grow over time.

We began declaring semi-monthly distributions,
which are paid on a monthly basis, to our stockholders beginning in July 2012 and intend to continue declaring semi-monthly distributions to stockholders, to the extent that we have assets legally available for distribution. We cannot assure you
that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make a targeted level of cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. All distributions that we make will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will
depend on our earnings, our financial condition, maintenance of our RIC status and other factors as our board of directors may deem to be relevant. Our ability to pay distributions might be adversely affected by the impact of the risks described in
this annual report on Form 10-K. In addition, the inability to satisfy the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC may limit our ability to pay distributions. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will pay distributions to our stockholders
in the future.

Our distribution proceeds may exceed our earnings, particularly during the period before we have substantially invested
the net proceeds from our offering. We have not established any limit on the extent to which we may use borrowings, if any, or proceeds from our offering to fund distributions, which may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in assets.

The distributions we pay to our stockholders may exceed earnings, particularly during the period before we have
substantially invested the net proceeds from our offering. In the event that we encounter delays in locating suitable investment opportunities, we may pay our distributions from the proceeds of our offering or from borrowings in anticipation of
future cash flow, which may constitute a return of your capital and will lower your tax basis in your shares. Distributions from the proceeds of our offering or from borrowings also could reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in
portfolio companies. Accordingly, stockholders who receive the payment of a dividend or other distribution from us should not assume that such dividend or other distribution is the result of a net profit earned by us.

You will have limited opportunities to sell your shares and, to the extent you are able to sell your shares under our share repurchase program, you
may not be able to recover the amount of your investment in our shares.

Our share repurchase program includes numerous
restrictions that limit your ability to sell your shares. Unless our board of directors determines otherwise, we limit the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year to the number of shares we can repurchase with the proceeds we
receive from the issuance of shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan. At the discretion of our board of directors, we may also use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the sale of our investments as
of the end of the applicable quarter to repurchase shares. We limit repurchases in each quarter to 2.5% of the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding in the prior four calendar quarters. To the extent that the number of
shares put to us for repurchase exceeds the number of shares that we are able to purchase, we will repurchase shares on a pro rata basis, not on a first-come, first-served basis. Further, we will have no obligation to repurchase shares if the
repurchase would violate the restrictions on distributions under federal law or Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. These limits may prevent us from accommodating
all repurchase requests made in any year. In addition, our board of directors may suspend or terminate the share repurchase program. We will notify you of such developments: (i) in our periodic or current reports or (ii) by means of a
separate mailing to you. In addition, we will have discretion to suspend or terminate the program, and to cease repurchases. Further, the program may have many limitations and should not be relied upon as a method to sell shares promptly and at a
desired price.

Because our business model depends to a significant extent upon relationships with corporations,
financial institutions and investment firms, the inability of the Advisor to maintain or develop these relationships, or the failure of these relationships to generate investment opportunities, could adversely affect our business.

SIC Advisors depends on its relationships with corporations, financial institutions and investment firms, and we rely
indirectly to a significant extent upon these relationships to provide us with potential investment opportunities. If SIC Advisors fails to maintain its existing relationships or develop new relationships or sources of investment opportunities, we
may not be able to grow our investment portfolio. In addition, individuals with whom SIC Advisors have relationships are not obligated to provide us with investment opportunities, and, therefore, there is no assurance that such relationships will
generate investment opportunities for us.

A significant portion of our investment portfolio is recorded at fair value as determined in
good faith by our board of directors and, as a result, there will be uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments.

The debt and equity securities in which we invest for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our board of
directors. Most, if not all, of our investments (other than cash and cash equivalents) will be classified as Level 3 under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820  Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This means that our portfolio
valuations will be based on unobservable inputs and our own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability in question. We expect that inputs into the determination of fair value of our portfolio investments will
require significant management judgment or estimation. Even if observable market data are available, such information may be the result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes, which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held
to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimers materially reduces the reliability of such information. We have retained the services of an independent service provider
to review the valuation of these loans and securities. The types of factors that the board of directors may take into account in determining the fair value of our investments generally include, as appropriate, comparison to publicly traded
securities including such factors as yield, maturity and measures of credit quality, the enterprise value of a portfolio company, 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 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 loans and 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 loans and securities.

Our board of directors may change our operating policies and strategies without prior notice or stockholder approval, the effects of which may be
adverse to our stockholders.

Our board of directors has the authority to modify or waive our current operating
policies, investment criteria and strategies without prior notice and without stockholder approval. We cannot predict the effect any changes to our current operating policies, investment criteria and strategies would have on our business, net asset
value, operating results and the value of our common stock. However, the effects might be adverse, which could negatively impact our ability to pay you distributions and cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Moreover, we have significant
flexibility in investing the net proceeds of any offering and may use the net proceeds from an offering in ways with which investors may not agree.

If SIC Advisors is 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 SIC Advisors to identify, invest in and monitor companies that meet our



47

##### Table of Contents

investment criteria. Accomplishing this result largely will be a function of SIC Advisors investment process and, in conjunction with its role as our administrator, its ability to provide
competent, attentive and efficient services to us.

SIC Advisors senior management team is comprised of members of the
senior management team for Medley LLC, and they manage other investment funds. They may also be required to provide managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. These demands on their time may distract them or slow our rate of investment. Any
failure to manage our business effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly results.

We could experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including our ability or inability to make investments in companies that meet our investment criteria, the
interest rate payable and default rates on the debt securities we acquire, the level of our expenses, 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 previous period should not be relied upon as indicative of performance in future periods. These occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our results
of operations, the value of your investment in us and our ability to pay distributions to you and our other stockholders.

Any
unrealized losses we experience on our portfolio may be an indication of future realized losses, which could reduce our income available for distribution.

As a BDC, we are required to carry our investments at market value or, if no market value is ascertainable, at the fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors. Decreases in the market
values or fair values of our investments are recorded as unrealized depreciation. Any unrealized losses in our portfolio could be an indication of a portfolio companys inability to meet its repayment obligations to us with respect to the
affected investments. This could result in realized losses in the future and ultimately in reductions of our income available for distribution in future periods. In addition, decreases in the market value or fair value of our investments will reduce
our net asset value. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Valuation of Investments.

We are uncertain of our sources for funding our future capital needs. If we cannot obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, our ability to acquire investments and to expand our
operations will be adversely affected.

The net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock will be used for
our investment opportunities, operating expenses and for payment of various fees and expenses such as management fees, incentive fees and other fees. Any working capital reserves we maintain may not be sufficient for investment purposes, and we may
require debt or equity financing to operate. In addition, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders to maintain our
RIC status. Accordingly, in the event that we need additional capital in the future for investments or for any other reason we may need to borrow from financial institutions in order to obtain such additional capital. These sources of funding may
not be available to us due to unfavorable economic conditions, which 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. Consequently, if we cannot obtain debt or
equity financing on acceptable terms, our ability to acquire investments and to expand our operations will be adversely affected. As a result, we would be less able to achieve portfolio diversification and our investment objective, which may
negatively impact our results of operations and reduce our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

We are a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and therefore we are
not limited with respect to the proportion of our assets that may be invested in securities of a single issuer.

We are
classified as a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, which means that we are not limited by the 1940 Act with respect to the proportion of our assets that we may invest in securities of a single issuer. We are also
not adopting any policy restricting the percentage of our assets that may be invested in a single portfolio company. To the extent that we assume large positions in the securities of a small number of issuers, or within a particular industry, our
net asset value may fluctuate to a greater extent than that of a diversified investment company as a result of changes in the financial condition or the markets assessment of the issuer. We may also be more susceptible to any single economic
or regulatory occurrence than a diversified investment company. Beyond our income tax diversification requirements applicable to RICs under Subchapter M of the Code, we do not have fixed guidelines for diversification, and our investments could be
concentrated in relatively few portfolio companies. See Business  Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company.

If we
internalize our management functions, your interest in us could be diluted, we could incur other significant costs associated with being self-managed and may not be able to retain or replace key personnel, and we may have increased exposure to
litigation as a result of internalizing our management functions.

We may internalize management functions provided by
our Advisor. Our board of directors may decide in the future to acquire assets and personnel from our Advisor or its affiliates for consideration that would be negotiated at that time. There can be no assurances that we would be successful in
retaining our Advisors key personnel in the event of a management internalization transaction. In the event we were to acquire our Advisor we cannot be sure of the form or amount of consideration or other terms relating to any such
acquisition, which could take many forms, including cash payments, promissory notes and/or shares of our stock. The payment of such consideration could reduce our net investment income.

We cannot reasonably estimate the amount of fees to our Advisor we would avoid paying, and the costs we would incur, if we acquired our
Advisor, or acquired assets and personnel from it. If the expenses we assume as a result of management internalization are higher than the expenses we avoid paying to our Advisor, our net investment income would be lower than it otherwise would have
been had we not acquired these entities, or acquired assets and personnel from these entities.

Additionally, if we
internalize our management functions, we could have difficulty integrating these functions. Currently, the officers and associates of Medley perform general and administrative functions, including accounting and financial reporting. We may fail to
properly identify the appropriate mix of personnel and capital needs to operate as a stand-alone entity. An inability to manage an internalization transaction effectively could result in our incurring additional costs and divert our
managements attention from effectively managing our portfolio or our operations.

In recent years, management
internalization transactions have been the subject of stockholder litigation. Stockholder litigation can be costly and time-consuming, and there can be no assurance that any litigation expenses we might incur would not be significant or that the
outcome of litigation would be favorable to us. Any amounts we are required to expend defending any such litigation will reduce our net investment income.

Risks Related to SIC Advisors and its Respective Affiliates

Our dealer manager may
face conflicts of interest as a result of a compensation arrangement between one of its affiliates and SIC Advisors.

In exchange for the provision of certain non-investment advisory services to SIC Advisors, and pursuant to a written agreement, an
affiliate of the dealer manager, Strategic Capital, is entitled to receive up to 20% of the gross cash proceeds received by SIC Advisors from the management and incentive fees payable by us to SIC

##### Table of Contents

Advisors in its capacity as our investment adviser. The purpose of this arrangement is to permit our Advisor to capitalize upon the expertise of the executives of Strategic Capital and its
affiliates in providing administrative and operational services with respect to non-exchange traded investment vehicles similar to us. Strategic Capital holds a non-voting interest in SIC Advisors which entitles it to 20% of the net proceeds
received in connection with the sale or other strategic transaction involving SIC Advisors.

As a result of this compensation
arrangement, our dealer manager has a financial interest in the performance of the assets recommended by SIC Advisors. The dealer manager may face conflicts of interest as a result and may have an incentive to influence our Advisor to select
investments that may not be in our best interest.

Our incentive fee structure may create incentives for SIC Advisors that are not fully
aligned with the interests of our stockholders.

In the course of our investing activities, we will pay management and
incentive fees to SIC Advisors. These fees are based on our gross assets. As a result, investors in our common stock will invest on a gross basis and receive distributions on a net basis after expenses, resulting in a lower
rate of return than one might achieve through direct investments. Because these fees are based on our gross assets, SIC Advisors will benefit when we incur debt or use leverage. Additionally, under the incentive fee structure, SIC Advisors may
benefit when capital gains are recognized and, because SIC Advisors determines when a holding is sold, SIC Advisors controls the timing of the recognition of such capital gains. Our board of directors is charged with protecting our interests by
monitoring how SIC Advisors addresses these and other conflicts of interests associated with its management services and compensation. While they are not expected to review or approve borrowings or incurrence of leverage in the ordinary course, our
independent directors approve our credit facilities, including the maximum amount of leverage we may employ, and will periodically review SIC Advisors services and fees as well as its portfolio management decisions and portfolio performance
through their quarterly review of our portfolio and annual review of our investment advisory and administration agreements. In connection with these reviews, our independent directors will consider whether our fees and expenses (including those
related to leverage) remain appropriate. As a result of this arrangement, SIC Advisors or its affiliates may from time to time have interests that differ from those of our stockholders, giving rise to a conflict.

The part of the incentive fee payable to SIC Advisors that relates to our net investment income will be computed and paid on income that
may include interest income that has been accrued but not yet received in cash. This fee structure may be considered to involve a conflict of interest for SIC Advisors to the extent that it may encourage SIC Advisors to favor debt financings that
provide for deferred interest, rather than current cash payments of interest. SIC Advisors may have an incentive to invest in deferred interest securities in circumstances where it would not have done so but for the opportunity to continue to earn
the incentive fee even when the issuers of the deferred interest securities would not be able to make actual cash payments to us on such securities. This risk could be increased because SIC Advisors is not obligated to reimburse us for any incentive
fees received even if we subsequently incur losses or never receive in cash the deferred income that was previously accrued.

SIC
Advisors and its affiliates, including our officers and some of our directors, face conflicts of interest caused by compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the best interests of our stockholders.

SIC Advisors and its affiliates receive substantial fees from us in return for their services, and these fees could
influence the advice provided to us. Among other matters, because the base management fee that we pay to SIC Advisors is based on our gross assets, SIC Advisors may benefit if we incur indebtedness.

There are significant potential conflicts of interest that could affect our investment returns.

There may be times when SIC Advisors, its senior management and Investment Team, and members of its Investment Committee have interests
that differ from those of our stockholders, giving rise to a conflict of

##### Table of Contents

interest. In particular, certain private investment funds managed by the senior members of SIC Advisors hold controlling or minority equity interests, or have the right to acquire such equity
interests, in some of our portfolio companies. As a result, the senior members of SIC Advisors may face conflicts of interests in connection with making business decisions for these portfolio companies to the extent that such decisions affect the
debt and equity holders in these portfolio companies differently. In addition, the senior members of SIC Advisors may face conflicts of interests in connection with making investment or other decisions, including granting loan waivers or concessions
on our behalf with respect to these portfolio companies given that they also manage private investment funds that hold the equity interests in these portfolio companies.

The time and resources that individuals associated with SIC Advisors devote to us may be diverted, and we may face additional competition due to the fact that SIC Advisors is not prohibited from
raising money for or managing another entity that makes the same types of investments that we target.

SIC Advisors is
not prohibited from raising money for and managing future investment entities that make the same types of investments as those we target. The time and resources that our Advisor devotes to us may be diverted, and during times of intense activity in
other programs it may devote less time and resources to our business than is necessary or appropriate. As a result of these competing demands on their time and the fact that they may engage in other business activities on behalf of themselves and
others, these individuals face conflicts of interest in allocating their time. These conflicts of interest could result in declines in the returns on our investments and the value of your investment. In addition, we may compete with any such
investment entity for the same investors and investment opportunities. While we may co-invest with such investment entities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the 1940 Act imposes significant limits on
co-investment. In this regard, the Exemptive Order allows us additional latitude to co-invest with certain affiliates. Nevertheless, the Exemptive Order requires us to meet certain conditions in order to invest in certain portfolio companies in
which our affiliates are investing or are invested. Affiliates of SIC Advisors, whose primary business includes the origination of investments, engage in investment advisory businesses with accounts that compete with us.

SIC Advisors may, from time to time, possess material non-public information, limiting our investment discretion.

SIC Advisors and members of its senior management and Investment Teams and Investment Committee may serve as directors of, or in a similar
capacity with, companies in which we invest, the securities of which are purchased or sold on our behalf. In the event that material nonpublic information is obtained with respect to such companies, we could be prohibited for a period of time from
purchasing or selling the securities of such companies by law or otherwise, and this prohibition may have an adverse effect on us.

We
may be obligated to pay our Advisor incentive compensation even if we incur a net loss due to a decline in the value of our portfolio.

Our Investment Advisory Agreement entitles SIC Advisors to receive an incentive fee based on our net investment income regardless of any capital losses. In such case, we may be required to pay SIC
Advisors an incentive fee for a fiscal quarter even if there is a decline in the value of our portfolio or if we incur a net loss for that quarter.

Any incentive fee payable by us that relates to our net investment income may be computed and paid on income that may include interest that has been accrued but not yet received. If a portfolio company
defaults on a loan that is structured to provide accrued interest, it is possible that accrued interest previously included in the calculation of the incentive fee will become uncollectible. SIC Advisors is not obligated to reimburse us for any part
of the incentive fee it received that was based on accrued income that we never received as a result of a subsequent default, and such circumstances would result in our paying an incentive fee on income we never receive.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we are required to recognize taxable income in some
circumstances in which we do not receive a corresponding payment in cash (such as deferred interest that is accrued as original issue discount) and to make distributions with respect to such income to maintain our status as a RIC. Under such
circumstances, we may have difficulty meeting the annual distribution requirement necessary to obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment under the Code. This difficulty in making the required distribution may be amplified to the extent that we are
required to pay an incentive fee with respect to such accrued income. As a result, 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 U.S. federal income tax. For additional discussion regarding the
tax implications of being a RIC, see Business  Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company.

The management and
incentive fees we pay to our Advisor may induce our Advisor to make speculative investments.

The incentive fee payable
by us to SIC Advisors may create an incentive for SIC Advisors to make investments on our behalf that are risky or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangements. The way in which the incentive fee is
determined may encourage SIC Advisors to use leverage to increase the return on our investments. In addition, the fact that our management fee is payable based upon our gross assets, which would include any borrowings for investment purposes, may
encourage SIC Advisors to use leverage to make additional investments. Under certain circumstances, the use of leverage may increase the likelihood of default, which would disfavor holders of our common stock. Such a 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 cyclical economic downturns.

There are certain risks relating to the investment that SIC Advisors made in us.

SIC Advisors purchased 1,108,033.24 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $10,000,000, which issuance was made immediately after our prior registration statement was declared
effective by the SEC. Thus, SIC Advisors is a significant stockholder. As a result and given the fact that SIC Advisors is our investment advisor and certain of its principals serve as our executive officers and members of our board of directors,
SIC Advisors will be able to exert significant influence over our management and policies. As a result, SIC Advisors, or any person or entity to which such shares may be transferred, may ultimately have the ability to take actions with respect to
their voting of such shares that may not be in our or our stockholders best interest.

Our ability to enter into transactions with
our affiliates will be restricted, which may limit the scope of investments available to us.

We are prohibited under
the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with certain of our affiliates without the prior approval of a majority of the independent directors and, in some cases, 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 will generally be prohibited from buying or selling any securities from or to such affiliate, absent the prior approval of our board of directors. The 1940 Act
also prohibits certain joint transactions with certain of our affiliates, which in certain circumstances could include investments in the same portfolio company (whether at the same or different times to the extent the transaction
involves jointness), without prior approval of our board of directors and, in some cases, the SEC. If a person acquires more than 25% of our voting securities, we will be prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to such person 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 Advisor as well as our officers or
directors or their affiliates. The SEC has interpreted the BDC regulations governing transactions with affiliates to prohibit certain joint transactions involving entities that share a common investment advisor. As a result of these
restrictions, we may be prohibited from buying or selling any security (other than any security of

which we are the issuer) from or to any portfolio company that is controlled by a fund managed by our Advisor or its respective affiliates without the prior approval of the SEC, which may limit
the scope of investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to us.

We may, however, invest alongside other
clients of our Advisor and its affiliates, including other entities they manage in certain circumstances where doing so is consistent with applicable law, the Exemptive Order and SEC staff interpretations and guidance. For example, we may co-invest
with such accounts consistent with guidance promulgated by the SEC staff permitting us and such other accounts to purchase interests in a single class of privately placed securities so long as certain conditions are met, including that our
investment adviser, acting on our behalf and on behalf of other clients, negotiates no term other than price. We may also co-invest with our investment advisers other clients as otherwise permissible under regulatory guidance, applicable
regulations and our Advisors allocation policy. Under this allocation policy, a fixed percentage of each opportunity, which may vary based on asset class and investment objectives, among other things, will be offered to us and similar eligible
accounts, as periodically determined by our Advisor and approved by our board of directors, including our independent directors. The allocation policy further provides that allocations among us and these other accounts will generally be made pro
rata based on each accounts capital available for investment, as determined, in our case, by our Advisor. It is our policy to base our determinations as to the amount of capital available for investment based on such factors as the amount of
cash on-hand, existing commitments and reserves, if any, the targeted leverage level, the targeted asset mix and diversification requirements and other investment policies and restrictions set by our board of directors or imposed by applicable laws,
rules, regulations or interpretations. We expect that these determinations will be made similarly for other accounts. However, we can offer no assurance that investment opportunities will be allocated to us fairly or equitably in the short-term or
over time.

In situations where co-investment with other clients of our Advisor or its affiliates is not permitted under the
1940 Act and related rules, existing or future staff guidance, or the terms and conditions of the Exemptive Order, our Advisor will need to decide which client or clients will proceed with the investment. Under our Advisors allocation policy,
such determinations will be made based on the principle that investment opportunities shall be offered to eligible clients on an alternating basis that will be fair and equitable over time. As a result, we will not have an entitlement to make a
co-investment in these circumstances and, to the extent that another client elects to proceed with the investment, we will not be permitted to participate. Moreover, except in certain circumstances, we will be unable to invest in any issuer in which
a client of our Advisor or its affiliate holds a controlling interest. These restrictions may limit the scope of investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to us.

We may make investments that could give rise to a conflict of interest.

We do not expect to invest in, or hold securities of, companies that are controlled by our Advisors affiliates clients. However, our Advisors affiliates clients may invest in, and
gain control over, one of our portfolio companies. If our Advisors affiliates client, or clients, gains control over one of our portfolio companies, it may create conflicts of interest and may subject us to certain restrictions under the
1940 Act. As a result of these conflicts and restrictions, our Advisor may be unable to implement our investment strategy as effectively as they could have in the absence of such conflicts or restrictions. For example, as a result of a conflict or
restriction, our Advisor may be unable to engage in certain transactions that they would otherwise pursue. In order to avoid these conflicts and restrictions, our Advisor may choose to exit these investments prematurely and, as a result, we would
forego any positive returns associated with such investments. In addition, to the extent that another client holds a different class of securities than us as a result of such transactions, our interests may not be aligned.

There may be conflicts related to obligations SIC Advisors senior management and Investment Team and members of its Investment Committee have
to other clients.

The members of the senior management and Investment Teams and the Investment Committee of SIC
Advisors serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related

line of business as we do, or of investment funds managed by SIC Advisors or its affiliates. In serving in these multiple capacities, they may have obligations to other clients or investors in
those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in our best interests or in the best interest of our stockholders. For example, the personnel that comprises SIC Advisors Investment Team, have management responsibilities for other
investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles managed by affiliates of SIC Advisors.

Our investment objective may
overlap with the investment objectives of such investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles. For example, affiliates of SIC Advisors currently manage private funds and managed accounts that are seeking new capital commitments and will
pursue an investment strategy similar to our strategy, and we may compete with these and other entities managed by affiliates of SIC Advisors for capital and investment opportunities. As a result, those individuals may face conflicts in the
allocation of investment opportunities among us and other investment funds or accounts advised by principals of, or affiliated with, SIC Advisors.

We have received an order from the SEC which permits us to co-invest with certain other investment funds managed by SIC Advisors or its affiliates, subject to the conditions included therein. In
situations where we cannot co-invest with other investment funds managed by SIC Advisors or its affiliates, the investment policies and procedures of SIC Advisors generally require that such opportunities be offered to us and such other investment
funds on an alternating basis. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to participate in all investment opportunities that are suitable to us.

Our ability to sell or otherwise exit investments in which affiliates of SIC Advisors also have an investment may be restricted.

We may be considered affiliates with respect to certain of our portfolio companies. Certain private funds advised by the senior members of
SIC Advisors also hold interests in these portfolio companies and as such these interests may be considered a joint enterprise under applicable regulations. To the extent that our interests in these portfolio companies may need to be restructured in
the future or to the extent that we choose to exit certain of these transactions, our ability to do so will be limited.

Risks Related to
BDCs

We may face increasing competition for investment opportunities, which could delay deployment of our capital, reduce returns
and result in losses.

We compete for investments with other BDCs and investment funds (including registered investment
companies, private equity funds and mezzanine funds), as well as traditional financial services companies such as commercial banks and other sources of funding. Moreover, alternative investment vehicles, such as hedge funds, have begun to invest in
areas in which they have not traditionally invested, including making investments in our target market of privately owned U.S. companies. As a result of these new entrants, competition for investment opportunities in privately owned U.S. companies
may intensify. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do. For example, some competitors may have a lower cost of capital and access to funding sources that
are not available to us. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments than we have. These characteristics could allow our competitors to consider a wider variety of investments, establish more
relationships and offer better pricing and more flexible structuring than we are able to do.

We do not seek to compete
primarily based on the interest rates we offer, and we believe that some of our competitors make loans with interest rates that are comparable to or lower than the rates we offer. We may lose investment opportunities if we do not match our
competitors pricing, terms, and structure criteria. If we are forced to match these criteria to make investments, we may not be able to achieve acceptable returns on our investments or may bear substantial risk of capital loss. A significant
increase in the number and/or the size of our competitors in this target market could force us to accept less attractive investment terms. Furthermore, many



54

##### Table of Contents

of our competitors are not subject to the regulatory restrictions that the 1940 Act imposes on us as a BDC or the source of income, asset diversification and distribution requirements we must
satisfy to maintain our RIC status. The competitive pressures we face may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. As a result of this competition, we may not be able to take
advantage of attractive investment opportunities from time to time. Also we may not be able to identify and make investments that are consistent with our investment objective.

The requirement that we invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets could preclude us from investing in accordance with our current business strategy; conversely, the failure to
invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets could result in our failure to maintain our status as a BDC.

As a BDC, the 1940 Act prohibits us from acquiring any assets other than certain qualifying assets unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such acquisition, at least 70% of our total assets are
qualifying assets. Therefore, we may be precluded from investing in what we believe are attractive investments if such investments are not qualifying assets. Conversely, if we fail to invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets,
we could lose our status as a BDC, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and result of operations. Similarly, these rules could prevent us from making additional investments in existing portfolio companies,
which could result in the dilution of our position.

Changes in laws or regulations governing our operations may adversely affect our
business or cause us to alter our business strategy.

We and our portfolio companies will be subject to regulation at
the local, state, and federal level. Changes to the laws and regulations governing our permitted investments may require a change to our investment strategy. Such changes could differ materially from our strategies and plans as set forth in this
annual report on Form 10-K and may shift our investment focus from the areas of expertise of our Advisor. Thus, any such changes, if they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

Regulations governing our operation as a BDC and RIC will affect our ability to raise capital and the way in which we raise additional
capital or borrow for investment purposes, which may have a negative effect on our growth. As a BDC, the necessity of raising additional capital may expose us to risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage.

As a result of the annual distribution requirement to qualify as a RIC, we may need to access the capital markets periodically to raise
cash to fund new investments. We may issue senior securities, including borrowing money from banks or other financial institutions only in amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such
incurrence or issuance. If we issue senior securities, we will be exposed to typical risks associated with leverage, including an increased risk of loss. Our ability to issue different types of securities is also limited. Compliance with these
requirements may unfavorably limit our investment opportunities and reduce our ability in comparison to other companies to profit from favorable spreads between the rates at which we can borrow and the rates at which we can lend. As a BDC,
therefore, we intend to issue equity continuously at a rate more frequent than our privately owned competitors, which may lead to greater stockholder dilution.

We may borrow for investment purposes. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy the asset coverage test, which would prohibit us from paying distributions and could prevent us from
qualifying as a RIC, which would generally result in a corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on any income and net gains. If we cannot satisfy the asset coverage test, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the
nature of our debt financing, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous. Also, any amounts that we use to service our indebtedness would not be available for distributions to our common stockholders.



55

##### Table of Contents

In addition, we anticipate that as market conditions permit, we may securitize our loans to
generate cash for funding new investments. To securitize loans, we may create a wholly owned subsidiary, contribute a pool of loans to the subsidiary and have the subsidiary issue primarily investment grade debt securities to purchasers who we would
expect to be willing to accept a substantially lower interest rate than the loans earn. We would retain all or a portion of the equity in the securitized pool of loans. Our retained equity would be exposed to any losses on the portfolio of loans
before any of the debt securities would be exposed to such losses. Accordingly, if the pool of loans experienced a low level of losses due to defaults, we would earn an incremental amount of income on our retained equity but we would be exposed, up
to the amount of equity we retained, to that proportion of any losses we would have experienced if we had continued to hold the loans in our portfolio. We would not treat the debt issued by such a subsidiary as senior securities.

Pending legislation may allow us to incur additional leverage.

As a BDC, we are generally 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). Recent legislation, if passed, would modify this section of the 1940 Act and increase the amount of debt that BDCs may incur by modifying the percentage from 200% to 150%. As a result, we may be able to incur
additional indebtedness in the future and therefore your risk of an investment in our securities may increase. We can make no assurance as the ultimate outcome of this legislation.

Risks Related to Our Investments

Our investments in prospective portfolio companies
may be risky, and we could lose all or part of our investment.

We intend to pursue a strategy focused on investing
primarily in the debt of privately owned U.S. companies with a focus on transactions sourced through the network of SIC Advisors.



| |  |  | Senior Secured Debt and Second Lien Secured Debt.When we invest in senior secured term debt and second lien secured debt, we will generally
take a security interest in the available assets of these portfolio companies, including the equity interests of their subsidiaries. There is a risk that the collateral securing our investments may decrease in value over time or lose its entire
value, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of the business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the portfolio company to raise
additional capital. Also, in some circumstances, our security interest could be subordinated to claims of other creditors. In addition, deterioration in a portfolio companys financial condition and prospects, including its inability to raise
additional capital, may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the collateral for the debt security. Consequently, the fact that debt is secured does not guarantee that we will receive principal and interest payments according to the
investment terms, or at all, or that we will be able to collect on the investment should we be forced to enforce our remedies.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Subordinated Debt. Our subordinated debt investments will generally be subordinated to senior debt and will generally be unsecured. This may
result in a heightened level of risk and volatility or a loss of principal, which could lead to the loss of the entire investment. These investments may involve additional risks that could adversely affect our investment returns. To the extent
interest payments associated with such debt are deferred, such debt may be subject to greater fluctuations in valuations, and such debt could subject us and our stockholders to non-cash income. Since we will not receive any principal repayments
prior to the maturity of some of our subordinated debt investments, such investments will be of greater risk than amortizing loans.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Equity Investments. We expect to make selected equity investments. In addition, when we invest in senior and subordinated debt, we may acquire
warrants or options to purchase equity securities or benefit from other types of equity participation. Our goal is ultimately to dispose of these equity
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| | 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.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most loans in which we invest will not be rated by any rating agency and, if they were rated, they would be rated as below investment
grade quality. Loans rated below investment grade quality are generally regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics and may carry a greater risk with respect to a borrowers capacity to pay interest and repay principal.

To the extent original issue discount constitutes a portion of our income, we will be exposed to risks associated with the deferred
receipt of cash representing such income.

Our investments may include original issue discount instruments. To the
extent original issue discount constitutes a portion of our income, we will be exposed to typical risks associated with such income being required to be included in taxable and accounting income prior to receipt of cash, including the following:



| |  |  | Original issue discount instruments may have unreliable valuations because the accruals require judgments about collectability.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Original issue discount instruments may create heightened credit risks because the inducement to trade higher rates for the deferral of cash payments
typically represents, to some extent, speculation on the part of the borrower.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | For accounting purposes, cash distributions to stockholders representing original issue discount income do not come from paid-in capital, although they
may be paid from the offering proceeds. Thus, although a distribution of original issue discount income comes from the cash invested by the stockholders, the 1940 Act does not require that stockholders be given notice of this fact.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In the case of payment-in-kind, or PIK, toggle debt, the PIK election has the simultaneous effects of increasing the assets under
management, thus increasing the base management fee, and increasing the investment income, thus increasing the incentive fee.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Original issue discount creates risk of non-refundable cash payments to the Advisor based on non-cash accruals that may never be realized.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

We intend to pursue a strategy focused on investing primarily in the debt of privately owned U.S. companies with a
focus on transactions sourced through the network of SIC Advisors. Our portfolio companies may have, or may be permitted to incur, other debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, the debt in which we invest. By their terms, such debt instruments
may entitle the holders to receive payment of interest or principal on or before the dates on which we are entitled to receive payments with respect to the debt instruments 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. 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 instruments in which we invest, we would have to share on an equal basis
any distributions with other creditors holding such debt in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company.

##### Table of Contents

Subordinated liens on collateral securing debt that we will make to our portfolio companies may be
subject to control by senior creditors with first priority liens. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay in full both the first priority creditors and us.

Certain debt investments that we will make in portfolio companies will 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 company under the agreements governing the debt. 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 debt 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 debt 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 companys remaining assets, if any.

We may also make unsecured debt investments in portfolio
companies, meaning that such investments will not benefit from any interest in collateral of such companies. Liens on such portfolio companies collateral, if any, will secure the portfolio companys obligations under its outstanding
secured debt and may secure certain future debt that is permitted to be incurred by the portfolio company under its secured debt agreements. The holders of obligations secured by such liens will generally control the liquidation of, and be entitled
to receive proceeds from, any realization of such collateral to repay their obligations in full before us. In addition, the value of such 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 sales of such collateral would be sufficient to satisfy our unsecured debt obligations after payment in full of all secured debt obligations. If such proceeds were
not sufficient to repay the outstanding secured debt obligations, then our unsecured claims would rank equally with the unpaid portion of such secured creditors claims against the portfolio companys remaining assets, if any.

The rights we may have with respect to the collateral securing the debt investments we make in our portfolio companies with senior debt
outstanding may also be limited pursuant to the terms of one or more inter-creditor agreements that we enter into with the holders of senior debt. Under such an inter-creditor 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.

There may be
circumstances where our debt investments could be subordinated to claims of other creditors or we could be subject to lender liability claims.

If one of our portfolio companies were to go bankrupt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which we actually provided managerial assistance to that portfolio company or a
representative of us or SIC Advisors sat on the board of directors of such portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might re-characterize our debt investment and subordinate all or a portion of our claim to that of other creditors. In situations where
a bankruptcy carries a high degree of political significance, our legal rights may be subordinated to other creditors.

In
addition, lenders in certain cases can be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by them when they become too involved in the borrowers business or exercise control over a borrower. It is possible that we



58



---

##### Table of Contents

could become subject to a lenders liability claim, including as a result of actions taken if we render significant managerial assistance to, or exercise control or influence over the board
of directors of, the borrower.

We generally will not control the business operations of our portfolio companies and, due to the
illiquid nature of our holdings in our portfolio companies, may not be able to dispose of our interest in our portfolio companies.

We do not expect to control most of our portfolio companies, even though we may have board representation or board observation rights, and our debt agreements may impose certain restrictive covenants on
our borrowers. 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. Due to the lack of liquidity for our investments in private companies, we may not be able to dispose of our interests in our portfolio companies as readily as we
would like or at an appropriate valuation. As a result, a portfolio company may make decisions that could decrease the value of our portfolio holdings.

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

We anticipate that our investments generally will be made in private companies. Substantially all of these securities will be 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. In addition, we may face other restrictions on our ability to liquidate an investment in a portfolio company to the extent that we or our investment
adviser has material non-public information regarding such portfolio company.

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

Many of our portfolio companies are susceptible to economic
slowdowns or recessions and may be unable to repay our debt investments during these periods. Therefore, our non-performing assets are likely to increase, and the value of our portfolio is likely to decrease during these periods. Adverse economic
conditions may also decrease the value of any collateral securing our senior secured or second lien secured debt. A severe recession may further decrease the value of such collateral and result in losses of value in our portfolio and a decrease in
our revenues, net income, assets and net worth. 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 on terms we deem acceptable.
These events could prevent us from increasing investments and harm our operating results.

A covenant breach by our portfolio companies
may harm our operating results.

A portfolio companys failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed
by us or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, termination of its debt and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize a portfolio companys ability to meet its
obligations under the debt or equity securities that we hold. We may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms, which may include the waiver of certain financial covenants, with a defaulting
portfolio company.

An investment strategy focused primarily on privately held companies presents certain challenges, including the lack
of available information about these companies.

We intend to invest primarily in privately held companies. Investments
in private companies pose certain incremental risks as compared to investments in public companies including that they:



| |  |  | have reduced access to the capital markets, resulting in diminished capital resources and ability to withstand financial distress;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



59



---

##### Table of Contents

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



| |  |  | may 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 changing market conditions, as well as general economic downturns;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 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; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 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 members
of the Advisors management may, in the ordinary course of business, be named as defendants in litigation arising from our investments in the portfolio companies.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, investments in private companies tend to be less liquid. The securities of private companies are not publicly traded or
actively traded on the secondary market and are, instead, traded on a privately negotiated over-the-counter secondary market for institutional investors. These privately negotiated over-the-counter secondary markets may be inactive during an
economic downturn or a credit crisis. In addition, the securities in these companies will be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or will otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Also, under the 1940 Act, if there is no
readily available market for these investments, we are required to carry these investments at fair value as determined by our board of directors. As a result 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 these investments. We may also face other restrictions on our ability to liquidate an investment in a portfolio company to the extent that we, SIC Advisors or any of their
respective affiliates have material nonpublic information regarding such portfolio company or where the sale would be an impermissible joint transaction. The reduced liquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to dispose of them at a
favorable price, and, as a result, we may suffer losses.

Finally, little public information generally exists about private
companies and these companies may not have third-party debt ratings or audited financial statements. We must therefore rely on the ability of SIC Advisors to obtain adequate information through due diligence to evaluate the creditworthiness and
potential returns from investing in these companies. Additionally, these companies and their financial information will not generally be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other rules that govern public 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.

Our failure to make follow-on investments in our portfolio companies could impair the value of our portfolio; our ability to make follow-on
investments in certain portfolio companies may be restricted.

Following an initial investment in a portfolio company,
provided that there are no restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act, 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



60



---

##### Table of Contents

participation in a successful operation. Even if we have sufficient capital to make a desired follow-on investment, 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 RIC tax status. We also may be restricted from making follow-on investments
in certain portfolio companies to the extent that affiliates of ours hold interests in such companies.

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 qualifying assets only if such issuer has a market capitalization that is less than
$250 million at the time of such investment. 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 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.

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. 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.

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.

Prepayments of
our debt investments by our portfolio companies could adversely impact our results of operations and reduce our return on equity.

We are subject to the risk that the investments we make in our portfolio companies may be repaid prior to maturity. When this occurs, we will generally reinvest these proceeds in temporary investments,
pending their future investment in new portfolio companies. These temporary investments will typically have substantially lower yields than the debt being prepaid and we could experience significant delays in reinvesting these amounts. Any future
investment in a new portfolio company may also be at lower yields than the debt that was repaid. As a result, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected if one or more of our portfolio companies elect to prepay amounts owed to
us. Additionally, prepayments, net of prepayment fees, could negatively impact our return on equity.

##### Table of Contents

We may acquire indirect interests in loans rather than direct interests, which would subject us to
additional risk.

We may make or acquire loans or investments through participation agreements. A participation
agreement typically results in a contractual relationship only with the counterparty to the participation agreement and not with the borrower. SIC Advisors has adopted best execution procedures and guidelines to mitigate credit and counterparty risk
when we acquire a loan through a participation agreement. In investing through participations, we will generally not have a right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement against the borrower, and we may not
directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, we will be exposed to the credit risk of both the borrower and the counterparty selling the participation. In the event of
insolvency of the counterparty, we, by virtue of holding participation interests in the loan, may be treated as its general unsecured creditor. In addition, although we may have certain contractual rights under the loan participation that require
the counterparty to obtain our consent prior to taking various actions relating to the loan, we cannot guarantee that the counterparty will seek such consent prior to taking various actions. Further, in investing through participation agreements, we
may not be able to conduct the due diligence on the borrower or the quality of the loan with respect to which it is buying a participation that we would otherwise conduct if we were investing directly in the loan, which may result in us being
exposed to greater credit or fraud risk with respect to the borrower or the loan than we expected when initially purchasing the participation. See Risks Related to SIC Advisors and its Respective Affiliates  There are significant
potential conflicts of interest that could affect our investment returns above.

We have entered into total return swap agreements
or other derivative transactions which expose us to certain risks, including market risk, liquidity risk and other risks similar to those associated with the use of leverage.

Our wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, Arbor, has entered into a TRS for a portfolio of senior secured assets with
Citibank, N.A., or Citibank. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements for a more detailed discussion of the terms of the TRS between Arbor and
Citibank.

A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the
market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. A TRS
effectively adds leverage to a portfolio by providing investment exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing directly in such market. Because of the unique structure of a TRS, a TRS often
offers lower financing costs than are offered through more traditional borrowing arrangements.

The TRS with Citibank enables
us, through our ownership of Arbor, to obtain the economic benefit of owning the assets subject to the TRS, despite the fact that such assets will not be directly held or otherwise owned by us or Arbor, in return for an interest-type payment to
Citibank. Accordingly, the TRS is analogous to us borrowing funds to acquire assets and incurring interest expense to a lender.

The TRS is subject to market risk, liquidity risk and risk of imperfect correlation between the value of the TRS and the assets
underlying the TRS. In addition, we may incur certain costs in connection with the TRS that could, in the aggregate, be significant.

A TRS is also subject to the risk that a counterparty will default on its payment obligations thereunder or that we will not be able to meet our obligations to the counterparty. In the case of the TRS
with Citibank, Arbor is required to post cash collateral amounts to secure its obligations to Citibank under the TRS. Citibank, however, is not required to collateralize any of its obligations to Arbor under the TRS. Arbor bears the risk of
depreciation with respect to the value of the assets underlying the TRS and is required, under the terms of the TRS, to post additional collateral on a dollar-for-dollar basis in the event of depreciation in the value of the underlying assets after
such value decreases below a specified amount. The amount of collateral required to be posted by Arbor is determined primarily on the basis of the aggregate value of the underlying assets.

##### Table of Contents

Arbor is required to initially cash collateralize a specified percentage of each asset
(generally 25% of the market value of such asset) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the TRS Agreement. The limit on the additional collateral that Arbor may be required to post pursuant to the TRS is equal to
the difference between the full notional amount of the assets underlying the TRS and the amount of cash collateral already posted by Arbor (determined without consideration of the initial cash collateral posted for each asset included in the TRS).
Arbors maximum liability under the TRS is the amount of any decline in the aggregate value of the assets subject to the TRS, less the amount of the cash collateral previously posted by Arbor. Therefore, the absolute risk of loss with respect
to the TRS is the notional amount of the TRS.

In addition to customary events of default and termination events, the
agreements governing the TRS with Citibank, which are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement, contain the following termination events: (a) a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria for at least 30 days; (b) a failure to
post initial cash collateral or additional collateral as required by the TRS Agreement; (c) a default by Arbor or us with respect to indebtedness in an amount equal to or greater than the lesser of $10.0 million and 2% of our net asset value at
such time; (d) a merger of Arbor or us meeting certain criteria; (e) either us or Arbor amending its constituent documents to alter our investment strategy in a manner that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect; (f) SIC Advisors ceasing to be the investment manager of Arbor or having authority to enter into transactions under the TRS Agreement on behalf of Arbor, and not being replaced by an entity reasonably acceptable to Citibank;
(g) SIC Advisors ceasing to be our investment adviser; (h) Arbor failing to comply with its investment strategies or restrictions to the extent such non-compliance has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect;
(i) Arbor becoming liable in respect of any obligation for borrowed money, other than arising under the TRS Agreement; (j) our dissolution or liquidation; (k) there occurring, without the prior consent of Citibank, any material change
to or departure from our policies or the policies of Arbor that may not be changed without the vote of our stockholders and that relates to Arbors performance of its obligations under the TRS Agreement; and (l) our violating certain
provisions of the 1940 Act or our election to be regulated as a BDC being revoked or withdrawn.

In addition to the rights of
Citibank to terminate the TRS following an event of default or termination event as described above, Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after the second anniversary of the effective date of the TRS. SIC Advisors may terminate the TRS on behalf of
Arbor at any time upon providing 10 days prior notice to Citibank. Any termination by SIC Advisors on behalf of Arbor prior to the second anniversary of the effective date of the TRS will result in payment of an early termination fee to Citibank.
Under the terms of the TRS, the early termination fee will equal the present value of the following two cash flows: (a) interest payments at a rate equal to 1.35% based on 70% of the maximum notional amount of $200,000,000, payable from the
later of the first anniversary of the effective date of the TRS or the termination date until the second anniversary of the effective date of the TRS and (b) interest payments at a rate equal to 0.15% based on the maximum notional amount of
$200,000,000, payable from the later of the first anniversary of the effective date of the TRS or the termination date until the second anniversary of the effective date of the TRS.

Other than during the first 365 days and the last 60 days of the term of the TRS, Arbor is required to pay a minimum usage fee of 1.00%
on the amount equal to 85% of the average daily unused portion of the maximum amount permitted under the TRS. Arbor will also pay Citibank customary fees in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the TRS.

Upon any termination of the TRS, Arbor will be required to pay Citibank the amount of any decline in the aggregate value of the assets
subject to the TRS or, alternatively, will be entitled to receive the amount of any appreciation in the aggregate value of such assets. In the event that Citibank chooses to exercise its termination rights, it is possible that Arbor will owe more to
Citibank or, alternatively, will be entitled to receive less from Citibank than it would have if Arbor controlled the timing of such termination due to the existence of adverse market conditions at the time of such termination.

In addition, because a TRS is a form of synthetic leverage, such arrangements are subject to risks similar to those associated with the
use of leverage. See  Risks Relating to Debt Financing below.

Hedging transactions may expose us to additional risks.

We may engage in currency or interest rate hedging transactions. If we engage in hedging transactions, we may expose ourselves to risks
associated with such transactions. We may utilize instruments such as forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of our portfolio positions from
changes in currency exchange rates and market interest rates. Hedging against a decline in the values of our portfolio positions does not eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the values of such positions or prevent losses if the values of
such positions decline. However, such hedging can establish other positions designed to gain from those same developments, thereby offsetting the decline in the value of such portfolio positions. Such hedging transaction may also limit the
opportunity for gain if the values of the underlying portfolio positions should increase. Moreover, it may not be possible to hedge against an exchange rate or interest rate fluctuation that is so generally anticipated that we are not able to enter
into a hedging transaction at an acceptable price.

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
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.

The disposition of our investments may result in contingent liabilities.

We currently expect that a significant portion of our investments will involve lending directly to private companies. In connection with
the disposition of an investment in private securities, we may be required to make representations about the business and financial affairs of the portfolio company typical of those made in connection with the sale of a business. We may also be
required to indemnify the purchasers of such investment to the extent that any such representations turn out to be inaccurate or with respect to certain potential liabilities. These arrangements may result in contingent liabilities that ultimately
yield funding obligations that must be satisfied through our return of certain distributions previously made to us.

If we invest in the
securities and obligations of distressed and bankrupt issuers, we might not receive interest or other payments.

We may
invest in the securities and obligations of distressed and bankrupt issuers, including debt obligations that are in covenant or payment default. Such investments generally are considered speculative. The repayment of defaulted obligations is subject
to significant uncertainties. Defaulted obligations might be repaid only after lengthy workout or bankruptcy proceedings, during which the issuer of those obligations might not make any interest or other payments. We may not realize gains from our
equity investments.

Risks Relating to Debt Financing

At December 31, 2015, we had approximately $385 million of outstanding indebtedness under the syndicated revolving credit facility with ING Capital LLC and a revolving credit facility with JP Morgan
Chase through Alpine Funding LLC, our wholly-owned special purpose financing subsidiary (such credit facilities referred to as the Facilities).

Illustration. The following table illustrates the effect of leverage on returns from an investment in our common stock assuming various annual returns, net of expenses. The calculations in the
table below are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing below. The calculation assumes

##### Table of Contents

(i) $1,097.7 million in total assets, (ii) a weighted average cost of funds of 3.1875%, (iii) $385.0 million in debt outstanding and (iv) $674.1 million in stockholders
equity. In order to compute the Corresponding return to stockholders, the Assumed Return on Our Portfolio (net of expenses) is multiplied by the assumed total assets to obtain an assumed return to us. From this amount, the
interest expense is calculated by multiplying the assumed weighted average cost of funds times the assumed debt outstanding, and the product is subtracted from the assumed return to us in order to determine the return available to stockholders. The
return available to stockholders is then divided by our stockholders equity to determine the Corresponding return to stockholders. Actual interest payments may be different.

|(1) | In order for us to cover our annual interest payments on indebtedness, we must achieve annual returns on our December 31, 2015 total assets of at least 1.8%.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, we have entered into a total return swap with Citi which provides us with exposure to a portfolio
of loans with a maximum aggregate market value of $300 million. See Risk Factors  Risks Related to Our Investments  We have entered into total return swap agreements or other derivative transactions which expose us to certain
risks, including market risk, liquidity risk and other risks similar to those associated with the use of leverage.

Because we use
borrowed funds to make investments or fund our business operations, we are exposed to risks typically associated with leverage which increase the risk of investing in us.

We intend to borrow funds through draws from our Revolving Credit Facility to leverage our capital structure, which is generally
considered a speculative investment technique. As a result:



| |  |  | our common shares may be exposed to an increased risk of loss because a decrease in the value of our investments may have a greater negative impact on
the value of our common shares than if we did not use leverage;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if we do not appropriately match the assets and liabilities of our business, 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;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to periodic renewal by our lenders, whose continued participation cannot be guaranteed;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants restricting our operating flexibility; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

Covenants in the Facilities may restrict our financial and operating flexibility.

We maintain the revolving credit facility with certain lenders party thereto from time to time and ING Capital LLC, as administrative
agent, and a revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase through Alpine Funding LLC. The Facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets, subject to certain exclusions. Availability of loans under the Facilities are linked to the
valuation of the collateral pursuant to a borrowing base mechanism. Borrowings under the Facilities are subject to, among other things, a minimum borrowing/collateral base. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral under the
Facilities. The Facilities require us to, among other things (i) make representations and warranties regarding the collateral as well as our business and



65



---

##### Table of Contents

operations, (ii) agree to certain indemnification obligations, and (iii) agree to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants. The documents for each of the Facilities also
include default provisions such as the failure to make timely payments under the Facilities, as the case may be, the occurrence of a change in control, and our failure to materially perform under the operative agreements governing the Facilities,
which, if not complied with, could accelerate repayment under the Facilities, thereby materially and adversely affecting our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of such covenants and restrictions in the Facilities, we will be limited in how we conduct our business and we may be unable
to raise additional debt or equity financing to take advantage of new business opportunities. In addition, our ability to satisfy the financial requirements required by the Facilities can be affected by events beyond our control and we cannot assure
you that we will meet these requirements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants in the future and, if we fail to do so, we may be in default under the Facilities, and we may be prohibited from
undertaking actions that are necessary or desirable to maintain and expand our business.

Default under the Facilities could
allow the lender(s) to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. If the lender(s) declare amounts outstanding under the Facilities to be due, the lender(s) could proceed against the assets pledged to secure the debt under
the Facilities. Any event of default, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on our business if the lender(s) determine to exercise their rights.

Because we use debt to finance our investments, changes in interest rates will affect our cost of capital and net investment income.

Because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which
we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we can offer no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income in the event we use our
existing debt to finance our investments. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds will increase to the extent we access the Revolving Credit Facility, since the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility is floating, which could
reduce our net investment income to the extent any debt investments have fixed interest rates. We expect that our long-term fixed-rate investments will be financed primarily with issuances of equity and long-term debt securities. 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.

You should also be aware that a rise in the general level of interest rates typically leads to higher interest rates applicable to our
debt investments. Accordingly, an increase in interest rates may result in an increase of the amount of incentive fees payable to SIC Advisors.

If we borrow money, the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in us will be magnified and may increase the risk of investing in us.
Borrowed money may also adversely affect the return on our assets, reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders, and result in losses.

The use of borrowings, also known as leverage, increases the volatility of investments by magnifying the potential for gain or loss on invested equity capital. Our use of leverage to partially finance our
investments, through borrowing from banks and other lenders, increases the risks of investing in our common stock. If the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause net asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had
we not leveraged. Similarly, any decrease in our income would cause net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. In addition,
our stockholders will bear the burden of any increase in our expenses as a result of our use of leverage, including interest expenses and any increase in the management or incentive fees payable to the Advisor.



66

##### Table of Contents

We use leverage to finance our investments. The amount of leverage that we employ depends on
our Advisor and our board of directors assessment of market and other factors at the time of the relevant borrowing. There can be no assurance that leveraged financing will in the future be available to us on favorable terms or at all.
However, to the extent of our use of leverage to finance our assets, our financing costs will reduce cash available for distributions to stockholders. Moreover, we may not be able to meet our financing obligations and, to the extent that we cannot,
we risk the loss of some or all of our assets to liquidation or sale to satisfy the obligations. In such an event, we may be forced to sell assets at significantly depressed prices due to market conditions or otherwise, which may result in losses.

As a BDC, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings and other senior securities,
which include all of our borrowings and any preferred stock that we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. If this ratio declines below 200%, we cannot incur additional debt and could be required to sell a portion of our investments to repay
some debt when it is disadvantageous to do so. This could have a material adverse effect on our operations, and we may not be able to make distributions. The amount of leverage that we will employ will be subject to oversight by our board of
directors, a majority of whom will be independent directors with no material interests in such transactions.

We will be exposed to
risks associated with changes in interest rates.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in
interest rates. Because we use debt to finance investments, our net investment income depends, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we can offer no assurance
that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income. In periods of rising interest rates when we have debt outstanding, our cost of funds will increase, which could reduce our net
investment income.

In addition, due to the continuing effects of the prolonged economic crisis and recession that began in
2007, interest rates have recently been at or near historic lows. In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment, our portfolio companies with adjustable-rate debt could see their payments increase and there may be a significant
increase in the number of our portfolio companies who are unable or unwilling to repay their debt. Investments in companies with adjustable-rate debt may also decline in value in response to rising interest rates if the rates at which they pay
interest do not rise as much, or as quickly, as market interest rates in general. Similarly, during periods of rising interest rates, our investments with fixed rates may decline in value because they are locked in at below market yield.

We may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques
may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent such activities are not prohibited by the 1940 Act. These activities may limit our ability to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the hedged
portfolio. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to an Investment in our Common Stock

The success of our offering is dependent, in part, on the ability of the dealer manager to implement its business strategy, to hire and retain key employees and to successfully establish, operate
and maintain a network of broker-dealers. Our dealer manager also serves as the dealer manager for the distribution of securities of other issuers and may experience conflicts of interest as a result.

The success of our offering and our ability to implement our business strategy is dependent upon the ability of our dealer manager to hire
and retain key employees, establish, operate and maintain a network of licensed securities broker-dealers and other agents and implement its business strategy. If the dealer manager is unable to

##### Table of Contents

hire qualified employees, build a sufficient network of broker-dealers and implement its business strategy, we may not be able to raise adequate proceeds through our offering to implement our
investment strategy.

In addition, the dealer manager serves as the dealer manager for or participate in the distribution of
the securities of other issuers. As a result, the dealer manager may experience conflicts of interest in allocating its time between our offering and such other issuers, which could adversely affect our ability to raise adequate proceeds through our
offering and implement our investment strategy. Further, the participating broker-dealers retained by the dealer manager may have numerous competing investment products, some with similar or identical investment strategies and areas of focus as us,
which they may elect to emphasize to their retail clients.

Investors will not know the purchase price per share at the time they submit
their subscription agreements and could receive fewer shares of common stock than anticipated if our board of directors determines to increase the offering price to comply with the requirement that we avoid selling shares below net asset value.

The purchase price at which investors purchase shares of our common stock will be determined at each weekly closing
date to ensure that the sales price is equal to or greater than the net asset value of our shares, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees. As a result, an investors purchase price may be higher than the prior subscription
closing price per share, and therefore an investor may receive a smaller number of shares of common stock than if the investor had subscribed at the prior subscription closing price.

Investors will not know the purchase price per share at the time they submit their subscription agreements and could pay a premium for their shares of common stock if our board of directors does not
decrease the offering price in the event of a decline to our net asset value per share.

The purchase price at which an
investor purchases shares will be determined at each weekly closing date to ensure that the sales price is equal to or greater than the net asset value of our shares, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees. In the event of a
decrease to our net asset value per share, an investor could pay a premium of more than 2.5% for its shares of common stock if our board of directors does not decrease the offering price. A decline in our net asset value per share to an amount more
than 2.5% below our current offering price, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, creates a rebuttable presumption that there has been a material change in the value of our assets such that a reduction in the offering price per share
is warranted. This presumption may only be rebutted if our board of directors, in consultation with our management, reasonably and in good faith determines that the decline in net asset value per share is the result of a temporary movement in the
credit markets or the value of our assets, rather than a more fundamental shift in the valuation of our portfolio. In the event that (i) net asset value per share decreases to more than 5% below our current net offering price and (ii) our
board of directors believes that such decrease in net asset value per share is the result of a non-temporary movement in the credit markets or the value of our assets, our board of directors will undertake to establish a new net offering price that
is not more than 2.5% above our net asset value per share. If our board of directors determines that the decline in our net asset value per share is the result of a temporary movement in the credit markets or the value of our assets, investors will
purchase shares at an offering price per share, net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, which represents a premium to the net asset value per share of greater than 2.5%.

If we are unable to raise substantial funds in our ongoing, continuous best efforts offering, we will be limited in the number and type of investments we may make, and the value of your
investment in us may be reduced in the event our assets under-perform.

Our continuous offering is being made on a best
efforts basis, whereby our dealer manager and participating broker-dealers are only required to use their best efforts to sell our shares and have no firm commitment or obligation to purchase any of the shares. To the extent that less than the
maximum number of shares is subscribed for, the opportunity for diversification of our investments may be decreased and the returns achieved on those investments may be reduced as a result of allocating all of our expenses among a smaller capital
base.

##### Table of Contents

Our shares are not listed on an exchange or quoted through a quotation system and will not be listed
for the foreseeable future, if ever. Therefore, our stockholders will have limited liquidity and may not receive a full return of invested capital upon selling their shares.

Our shares are illiquid investments for which there is not a secondary market nor is it expected that any will develop in the future. A
future liquidity event could include: (i) a listing of our shares on a national securities exchange; (ii) a merger or another transaction approved by our board of directors in which our stockholders will receive cash or shares of a listed
company; or (iii) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets either on a complete portfolio basis or individually followed by a liquidation. Certain types of liquidity events, such as a listing, would allow us to retain our investment
portfolio intact while providing our stockholders with access to a trading market for their securities.

There can be no
assurance that a suitable transaction will be available or that market conditions will be favorable during that timeframe. Prior to a liquidity event, our share repurchase program may provide a limited opportunity for you to have your shares of
common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price which may reflect a discount from the purchase price you paid for the shares being repurchased.

Also, since a portion of the public offering price from the sale of shares in our offering will be used to pay expenses and fees, the
full offering price paid by the stockholders will not be invested in portfolio companies. As a result, you may not receive a return of all of your invested capital. If we do not successfully complete a liquidity event, liquidity for an
investors shares will be limited to participation in our share repurchase program.

If our shares are listed on a
national securities exchange or quoted through a quotation system, we cannot assure you a public trading market will develop or, if one develops, that such trading market can be sustained. Shares of companies offered in an initial public offering
often trade at a discount to the initial offering price due to underwriting discounts and related offering expenses. Also, shares of closed-end investment companies, including BDCs, frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. This
characteristic of closed-end investment companies is separate and distinct from the risk that our net asset value per share of common stock may decline. We cannot predict whether our common stock, if listed, will trade at, above or below net asset
value.

Our ability to conduct our continuous offering successfully is dependent, in part, on the ability of our dealer manager to
successfully establish, operate and maintain relationships with a network of broker-dealers, which will in turn sell a sufficient number of shares of our common stock for us to achieve our investment objective.

Our dealer manager may not be able to sell a sufficient number of shares to allow us to have adequate funds to purchase a diversified
portfolio of investments and generate income sufficient to cover our expenses.

The success of our public offering, and
correspondingly our ability to implement our business strategy, is dependent upon the ability of our dealer manager to establish and maintain relationships with a network of licensed securities broker-dealers and other agents to sell our shares. If
our dealer manager fails to perform, we may not be able to raise adequate proceeds through our public offering to implement our investment strategy. If we are unsuccessful in implementing our investment strategy, you could lose all or a part of your
investment.

We are not obligated to complete a liquidity event; therefore, it will be difficult for an investor to sell his or her
shares.

There can be no assurance that we will complete a liquidity event. If we do not successfully complete a
liquidity event, liquidity for an investors shares will be limited to our share repurchase program, which we have no obligation to maintain.

##### Table of Contents

The timing of our repurchase offers pursuant to our share repurchase program may be at a time that is
disadvantageous to our stockholders.

When we make quarterly repurchase offers pursuant to the share repurchase
program, we may offer to repurchase shares at a price that is lower than the price that investors paid for shares in our offering. As a result, to the extent investors paid an offering price that includes the related sales load and to the extent
investors have the ability to sell their shares pursuant to our share repurchase program, then the price at which an investor may sell shares, which will be at a price equal to our most recently disclosed net asset value per share immediately prior
to the date of repurchase, may be lower than what an investor paid in connection with the purchase of shares in our offering.

We may be
unable to invest a significant portion of the net proceeds of our offering on acceptable terms in an acceptable timeframe.

Delays in investing the net proceeds of our offering may impair our performance. We cannot assure you we will be able to identify any investments that meet our investment objective or that any investment
that we make will produce a positive return. We may be unable to invest the net proceeds of our offering on acceptable terms within the time period that we anticipate or at all, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

Before making investments, we will invest the net proceeds of our public offering primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S.
government securities, repurchase agreements, and other high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment. This will produce returns that are significantly lower than the returns, which we expect to achieve when
our portfolio is fully invested in securities meeting our investment objective. As a result, any distributions that we pay while our portfolio is not fully invested in securities meeting our investment objective may be lower than the distributions
that we may be able to pay when our portfolio is fully invested in securities meeting our investment objective.

A stockholders
interest in us will be diluted if we issue additional shares, which could reduce the overall value of an investment in us.

Our investors do not have preemptive rights to any shares we issue in the future. Our articles of incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to our articles of
incorporation, a majority of our entire board of directors may amend our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of stock without stockholder approval. After an investor purchases shares, our board may elect to sell
additional shares in the future, issue equity interests in private offerings, or issue share-based awards to our independent directors or persons associated with the Advisor. To the extent we issue additional equity interests at or below net asset
value, after an investor purchases our shares, an investors percentage ownership interest in us will be diluted. In addition, depending upon the terms and pricing of any additional offerings and the value of our investments, an investor may
also experience dilution in the net asset and fair value of his or her shares.

Under the 1940 Act, we generally are
prohibited from issuing or selling our common stock at a price below net asset value per share, which may be a disadvantage as compared with certain public companies. We may, however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options, or rights to acquire
our common stock, at a price below the current net asset value of our common stock if our board of directors and independent directors determine that such sale is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, and our
stockholders, including a majority of those stockholders that are not affiliated with us, approve such sale. In any such case, the price at which our securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price that, in the determination of our
board of directors, closely approximates the fair value of such securities (less any distributing commission or discount). If we raise additional funds by issuing common stock or senior securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common
stock, then the percentage ownership of our stockholders at that time will decrease and you will experience dilution.

Preferred stock could be issued with rights and preferences that would adversely affect holders of our
common stock.

Our public offering does not include an offering of preferred stock. However, under the terms of our
articles of incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval, which could potentially adversely affect the interests of existing stockholders. In the event we
issue preferred stock, the relevant prospectus will be supplemented accordingly; however, doing so would not require a stockholder vote, unless we seek to issue preferred stock that is convertible into our common stock.

If we issue preferred stock, the net asset value and market value of our common stock may become more volatile.

If we issue preferred stock, we cannot assure you that such issuance would result in a higher yield or return to the holders of our common
stock. The issuance of preferred stock would likely cause the net asset value and market value of our common stock to become more volatile. If the dividend rate on the preferred stock were to approach the net rate of return on our investment
portfolio, the benefit of leverage to the holders of our common stock would be reduced. If the dividend rate on the preferred stock were to exceed the net rate of return on our portfolio, the leverage would result in a lower rate of return to the
holders of our common stock than if we had not issued preferred stock. Any decline in the net asset value of our investments would be borne entirely by the holders of our common stock. Therefore, if the market value of our portfolio were to decline,
the leverage would result in a greater decrease in net asset value to the holders of our common stock than if we were not leveraged through the issuance of preferred stock. This greater net asset value decrease would also tend to cause a greater
decline in the market price for our common stock. We might be in danger of failing to maintain the required asset coverage of the preferred stock or of losing our ratings on the preferred stock or, in an extreme case, our current investment income
might not be sufficient to meet the dividend requirements on the preferred stock. In order to counteract such an event, we might need to liquidate investments in order to fund a redemption of some or all of the preferred stock. In addition, we would
pay (and the holders of our common stock would bear) all costs and expenses relating to the issuance and ongoing maintenance of the preferred stock, including higher advisory fees if our total return exceeds the dividend rate on the preferred stock.
Holders of preferred stock may have different interests than holders of our common stock and may at times have disproportionate influence over our affairs.

Holders of any preferred stock we might issue would have the right to elect members of the board of directors and class voting rights on certain matters.

Holders of any preferred stock we might issue, voting separately as a single class, would have the right to elect two members of the board
of directors at all times and in the event dividends become two full years in arrears, would have the right to elect a majority of our directors until such arrearage is completely eliminated. In addition, preferred stockholders would have class
voting rights on certain matters, including changes in fundamental investment restrictions and conversion to open-end status, and accordingly would be able to veto any such changes. Restrictions imposed on the declarations and payment of dividends
or other distributions to the holders of our common stock and preferred stock, both by the 1940 Act and by requirements imposed by rating agencies or the terms of our credit facilities, might impair our ability to maintain our qualification as a RIC
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. While we would intend to redeem our preferred stock to the extent necessary to enable us to distribute our income as required to maintain our qualification as a RIC, there can be no assurance that such actions
could be effected in time to meet the tax requirements.

Certain provisions of the Maryland Corporation Law and the Investment Advisory
Agreement could deter takeover attempts.

Our bylaws exempt us from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, which
significantly restricts the voting rights of control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition. If our board of directors were to amend our bylaws to repeal this exemption from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition
Act,

that statute may make it more difficult for a third party to obtain control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating such a transaction. Although we do not presently intend to adopt such
an amendment to our bylaws, there can be no assurance that we will not so amend our bylaws at some time in the future. We will not, however, amend our bylaws to make us subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act without our board of
directors determining that doing so would not conflict with the 1940 Act and obtaining confirmation from the SEC that it does not object to that determination.

Additionally, our board of directors may, without stockholder action, authorize the issuance of shares of stock in one or more classes or series, including preferred stock. Our board of directors may
also, without stockholder action, amend our articles of incorporation to increase the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue. These anti-takeover provisions may inhibit a change of control in circumstances
that could give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the value of our common stock.

Investing in
our common stock involves a high degree of risk.

The investments we make in accordance with our investment objective
may result in a higher amount of risk and volatility or loss of principal than alternative investment options. Our investments in portfolio companies may be highly speculative and aggressive and, therefore, an investment in our common stock may not
be suitable for someone with lower risk tolerance.

The net asset value of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

The net asset value and liquidity, if any, of the market for shares of our common stock 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 our sector, which are not necessarily related
to the operating performance of the companies;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



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



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



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



| |  |  | changes in accounting guidelines governing valuation of our investments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | departure of SIC Advisors or certain of its respective key personnel;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



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



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



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

The price which you pay for our shares may not reflect our current net asset value at the time of your subscription.

In the event of a material decline in our net asset value per share, which we consider to be a 2.5% decrease below our current net offering price, and subject to certain conditions, we will reduce our
offering price accordingly. Also we will file a supplement to any relevant prospectus with the SEC, or amend our registration statement if our net asset value per share: (i) declines more than 10% from the net asset value per share as of the
effective date of the relevant registration statement or (ii) increases to an amount that is greater than the net proceeds per share as stated in the prospectus. Therefore, the net proceeds per share, net of all sales load, from a new investor
may be in excess of the then current net asset value per share.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Risks

We will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax if we are unable to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code or to satisfy RIC distribution requirements.

To maintain RIC tax treatment under the Code, we must meet the following minimum annual distribution, income source and asset
diversification requirements. See Business  Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company.

The minimum annual
distribution requirement for a RIC will be satisfied if we distribute to our stockholders on an annual basis at least 90% of our net ordinary taxable income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital
losses, if any. We would also be taxed on any retained income and/or gains, including any short-term capital gains or long-term capital gains. We must also satisfy an additional annual distribution requirement during each calendar year in order to
avoid a 4% excise tax on the amount of the under-distribution. Because we may use debt financing, we are subject to an asset coverage ratio requirement under the 1940 Act and may in the future become subject to certain financial covenants under loan
and credit agreements that could, under certain circumstances, restrict us from making distributions necessary to satisfy the distribution requirements. If we are unable to obtain cash from other sources, we could fail to qualify for RIC tax
treatment, or could be required to retain a portion of our income or gains, and thus become subject to corporate-level U.S. federal 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 this requirement, 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 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.

If we fail to qualify for or maintain RIC tax treatment for any reason and are subject to corporate income tax, the resulting
corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution, and the amount of our distributions. Such a failure would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
conditions, and thus, our stockholders.

If we do not qualify as a publicly offered regulated investment company, as defined
in the Code, you will be taxed as though you received a distribution of some of our expenses.

A publicly offered
regulated investment company is a RIC whose shares are either (i) continuously offered pursuant to a public offering, (ii) regularly traded on an established securities market or (iii) held by at least 500 persons at all times
during the taxable year. If we are not a publicly offered RIC for any period, a non-corporate stockholders allocable portion of our affected expenses, including our management fees, will be treated as an additional distribution to the
stockholder and will be deductible by such stockholder only to the extent permitted under the limitations described below. For non-corporate stockholders, including individuals, trusts, and estates, significant limitations generally apply to the
deductibility of certain expenses of a non-publicly offered RIC, including advisory fees. In particular, these expenses, referred to as miscellaneous itemized deductions, are deductible to an individual only to the extent they exceed 2% of such a
stockholders adjusted gross income, and are not deductible for alternative minimum tax purposes. While we anticipate that we will constitute a publicly offered RIC after our first tax year, there can be no assurance that we will in fact so
qualify for any of our taxable years.

##### Table of Contents

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

For U.S. 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. Furthermore, we may invest in non-U.S. corporations (or other non-U.S. entities treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that could be treated under the Code and
U.S. Treasury regulations as passive foreign investment companies and/or controlled foreign corporations. The rules relating to investment in these types of non-U.S. entities are designed to ensure that U.S. taxpayers are
either, in effect, taxed currently (or on an accelerated basis with respect to corporate level events) or taxed at increased tax rates at distribution or disposition. In certain circumstances this could require us to recognize income where we do not
receive a corresponding payment in cash.

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. Further, we may elect to amortize market discounts and include such amounts in our taxable income in the current year, instead of upon disposition, as an election not
to do so would limit our ability to deduct interest expenses for tax purposes.

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 if we will not have
received any corresponding cash amount. As a result, we may have difficulty meeting the tax requirement to distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital
losses, if any, to 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, make a partial share distribution, or
forgo new investment opportunities for this purpose. If we are not able to obtain cash from other sources, and choose not to make a qualifying share distribution, we may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to
corporate-level U.S. federal income tax. See Business  Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company.

Market Information

There
is currently no market for our common stock, and we do not expect that a market for our shares will develop in the foreseeable future. No shares of our common stock have been authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plans. Under
Maryland law, our stockholders generally will not be personally liable for our debts or obligations.

As of March 8,
2016, we are offering our shares on a continuous basis at an offering price of $9.10 per share; however, to the extent that our net asset value increases, we intend to sell at a price necessary to ensure that shares are not sold at a price per
share, after deduction of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, that is below our net asset value per share. In the event of a material decline in our net asset value per share, which we consider to be a 2.5% decrease below our current net
offering price, and subject to certain conditions, we will reduce our offering price accordingly. Therefore, persons who tender subscriptions for our shares in our offering must submit subscriptions for a certain dollar amount, rather than a number
of our shares and, as a result, may receive fractional shares.

In connection with each closing on the sale of shares offered
in our continuous public offering, our board of directors or a committee thereof is required, within 48 hours of the time that each closing and sale is made, to make the determination that we are not selling shares at a price per share which, after
deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, is below our then current net asset value per share. Our board of directors will consider the following factors, among others, in making such determination:



| |  |  | the net asset value per share of our shares disclosed in the most recent periodic report we filed with the SEC;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our managements assessment of whether any material change in the net asset value per share has occurred (including through the realization of net
gains on the sale of our portfolio investments) from the period beginning on the date of the most recently disclosed net asset value per share to the period ending two days prior to the date of the closing on and sale of our shares; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the magnitude of the difference between the net asset value per share disclosed in the most recent periodic report we filed with the SEC and our
managements assessment of any material change in the
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



75

##### Table of Contents

| | net asset value per share since the date of the most recently disclosed net asset value per share, and the offering price of our shares at the date of closing.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Importantly, this determination does not require that we calculate net asset value in connection with each closing and sale of our
shares, but instead it involves the determination by our board of directors or a committee thereof that we are not selling our shares at a price which, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, is below the then current net asset
value per share at the time at which the closing and sale is made.

Moreover, to the extent that there is even a remote
possibility that we may (i) issue our shares at a price which, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, is below the then current net asset value per share of our shares at the time at which the closing and sale is made or
(ii) trigger the undertaking (which we provided to the SEC in our registration statement) to suspend the offering of our shares pursuant to our continuous public offering if the net asset value per share fluctuates by certain amounts in certain
circumstances until our prospectus is amended, our board of directors or a committee thereof will elect, in the case of clause (i) above, either to postpone the closing until such time that there is no longer the possibility of the occurrence
of such event or to undertake to determine net asset value within two days prior to any such sale to ensure that such sale will not be at a price which, after deducting selling commissions and dealer manager fees, is below our then current net asset
value per share, and, in the case of clause (ii) above, to comply with such undertaking or to undertake to determine net asset value to ensure that such undertaking has not been triggered.

In addition, a decline in our net asset value per share to an amount more than 2.5% below our current offering price, net of selling
commissions and dealer manager fees, creates a rebuttable presumption that there has been a material change in the value of our assets such that a reduction in the offering price per share is warranted. This presumption may only be rebutted if our
board of directors, in consultation with our management, reasonably and in good faith determines that the decline in net asset value per share is the result of a temporary movement in the credit markets or the value of our assets, rather than a more
fundamental shift in the valuation of our portfolio. In the event that (i) net asset value per share decreases to more than 2.5% below our current net offering price and (ii) our board of directors believes that such decrease in the net
asset value per share is the result of a non-temporary movement in the credit markets or the value of our assets, our board of directors will undertake to establish a new net offering price that is not more than 5% above our net asset value per
share. If our board of directors determines that the decline in our net asset value per share is the result of a temporary movement in the credit markets or the value of our assets, investors will purchase shares at an offering price per share, net
of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, which represents a premium to the net asset value per share of greater than 2.5%.

Set forth below is a chart describing the classes of our securities outstanding as of March 8, 2016:

As of March 8, 2016, we had 23,940 record holders of our common stock.

Distributions

Our
dividends, if any, are determined by the board of directors. We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain RIC qualification, we must distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital
gains in excess of our net long-term capital losses, if any. We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on our undistributed income unless we distribute in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of
our ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2%

of our capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed in the
preceding year.

Our board of directors declared a series of semi-monthly distributions. These distributions represent an
annualized yield of 8.79% based on our March 8, 2016 offering price of $9.10 per share:

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In June 2013, we commenced a share repurchase program pursuant to which it intends to conduct quarterly share repurchases, of up to 2.5%
of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in any 3-month period or 10% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in any 12-month period. The purpose of the share repurchase program is to allow stockholders to sell their shares
back to us at a price equal to the most recently disclosed net asset value per share of our common stock immediately prior to the date of repurchase. Shares will be purchased from stockholders participating in the program on a pro rata basis. Unless
our board of directors determines otherwise, the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year will be limited to the proceeds received in association with the sale of shares of common stock under the distribution reinvestment plan.

Overview

We are an externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We are externally managed by SIC Advisors LLC, or SIC
Advisors, which is a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act. SIC Advisors is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring
investments and monitoring our portfolio on an ongoing basis. In addition, we have qualified and intend to continue to qualify to be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code.

On April 17, 2012 we successfully reached the minimum escrow requirement and officially commenced operations by receiving gross
proceeds of $10 million in exchange for 1,108,033.24 shares of our common stock sold to SIC Advisors.

Under our Investment
Advisory Agreement, we pay SIC Advisors an annual management fee as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. Also, under the Administration Agreement, we reimburse Medley for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses
incurred by Medley Capital LLC in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including our allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their
respective staffs.

We intend to meet our investment objective by primarily lending to, and investing in the debt of privately
owned U.S. middle market companies, which we define as companies with annual revenue between $50 million and $1 billion. We intend to focus primarily on making investments in first lien senior secured debt, second lien secured debt, and to a lesser
extent, subordinated debt, of middle market companies in a broad range of industries. We expect that the majority of our debt investments will bear interest at floating interest rates, but our portfolio may also include fixed-rate investments. We
will originate transactions sourced through SIC Advisors existing network, and, to a lesser extent, expect to acquire debt securities through the secondary market. We may make equity investments in companies that we believe will generate
appropriate risk adjusted returns, although we do not expect such investments to be a substantial portion of our portfolio.

The level of our investment activity depends on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to prospective
portfolio companies, the level of merger, acquisition and refinancing activity for such companies, the availability of credit to finance transactions, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we
make. Based on prevailing market conditions, we anticipate that we will invest the proceeds from each subscription closing generally within 30-90 days. The precise timing will depend on the availability of investment opportunities that are
consistent with our investment objectives and strategies. Any distributions we make during such period may be substantially lower than the distributions that we expect to pay when our portfolio is fully invested.

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. In addition,
we are only allowed to borrow money such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after such borrowing, with certain limited exceptions. To obtain and maintain our RIC status, we must meet specified source-of-income
and asset diversification requirements. To be eligible for tax treatment under Subchapter M for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of
realized net long-term capital losses, if any, for the taxable year.

Revenues

We generate revenue in the form of interest on the debt securities that we hold and distributions and capital gains on other interests that we acquire in our portfolio companies. We expect that the senior
debt we invest in will generally have stated terms of three to ten years and that the subordinated debt we invest in will generally have stated terms of five to ten years. Our senior and subordinated debt investments bear interest at a fixed or
floating rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable monthly, quarterly or semiannually. In addition, some of our investments provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any
accrued but unpaid interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment and other fees in connection with transactions. Original issue discounts and market discounts or premiums will
be capitalized, and we will accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We will record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as fee income. Dividend income, if any, will be recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we
expect to collect such amounts.

Administrative Services

##### Table of Contents

SIC Advisors regularly assesses the risk profile of our portfolio investments and rates each
of them based on the categories set forth below, which we refer to as SIC Advisors investment credit rating. Credit Ratings are assigned to each of the investments in our portfolio that are directly held by the Company, but exclude any
off-balance sheet interests of the Company, such as the loans underlying the TRS.:

|1             |  | Investments that are performing above expectations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|              | 
|2             |  | Investments that are performing within expectations, with risks that are neutral or favorable compared to risks at the time of origination or purchase. All new loans are rated
2.                                                                                                                                                                                    
|              | 
|3             |  | Investments that are performing below expectations and that require closer monitoring, but where no loss of interest, dividend or principal is expected. Companies rated
3 may be out of compliance with financial covenants, however, loan payments are generally not past due.                                                                                      
|              | 
|4             |  | Investments that are performing below expectations and for which risk has increased materially since origination or purchase. Some loss of interest or dividend is expected, but no
loss of principal. In addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with debt covenants, loan payments may be past due (but generally not more than 180 days past due).
|              | 
|5             |  | Investments that are performing substantially below expectations and whose risks have increased substantially since origination or purchase. Most or all of the debt covenants are
out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. Some loss of principal is expected.

Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement

On June 29, 2012, the Company entered into an Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement with SIC Advisors (the Expense
Support Agreement). Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, SIC Advisors has agreed to reimburse the Company for operating expenses in an amount equal to the difference between distributions paid to the Companys stockholders in each
month, less the sum of the Companys net investment income, the Companys net realized capital gains and dividends paid to the Company from its portfolio companies during such period (Expense Support Reimbursement). To the
extent that no dividends or other distributions are paid to the Companys stockholders in any given month, then the Expense Support Reimbursement for such month shall be equal to such amount necessary in order for Available Operating Funds for
the month to equal zero. The terms of the Expense Support Agreement commenced as of the date that the Companys registration statement was declared effective by the SEC and continued monthly thereafter until December 31, 2012.
Subsequently, the Companys board of directors approved amendments to the Expense Support Agreement that extended the term from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2016.

Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Company has a conditional obligation to reimburse SIC Advisors for any amounts funded by
SIC Advisors under the Expense Support Agreement if (and only to the extent that), during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which SIC Advisors incurred a liability for such amount, the sum of the Companys net
investment income, the Companys net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to the Company from its portfolio companies (to the extent not included in net investment income or net capital gains for tax
purposes) exceeds the distributions paid by the Company to stockholders. The purpose of the Expense Support Agreement is to avoid such distributions being characterized as returns of capital for GAAP purposes and to reduce operating expenses until
the Company has raised sufficient capital to be able to absorb such expenses.

##### Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Company will reimburse SIC Advisors for
expense support payments it previously made following any calendar quarter in which the Company received net investment income, net capital gains and dividends from its portfolio companies in excess of the distributions paid to the Companys
stockholders during such calendar quarter (the Excess Operating Funds). Any such reimbursement will be made within three years of the date that the expense support payment obligation was incurred by SIC Advisors, subject to the
conditions described below. The amount of the reimbursement during any calendar quarter will equal the lesser of (i) the Excess Operating Funds received during the quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all expense payments made by SIC
Advisors that have not yet been reimbursed. In addition, the Company will only make reimbursement payments if its operating expense ratio (as described in footnote 1 to the table below) is equal to or less than its operating expense
ratio at the time the corresponding expense payment was incurred and if the annualized rate of its regular cash distributions to the Companys stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the Companys regular cash
distributions to stockholders at the time the corresponding expense payment was incurred.

As of December 31, 2015, we
recorded $7,314,867 in our consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as due from affiliate relating to the Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded a net expense support reimbursement
of $6,283,327 on the consolidated statement of operations. Expense reimbursements to SIC Advisors will be accrued as they become probable and estimable. For the year ended December 31, 2015 gross expenses before expense reimbursement from SIC
Advisors pursuant to the Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement was $45,422,524 and net expenses after taking into account the expense reimbursement from SIC Advisors, was $39,139,197.

As of December 31, 2014, we recorded $6,995,930 in our consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as due from affiliate
relating to the Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded a net expense support reimbursement of $5,222,096 on the consolidated statement of operations. Expense reimbursements to SIC Advisors
will be accrued as they become probable and estimable. For the year ended December 31, 2014 gross expenses before expense reimbursement from SIC Advisors pursuant to the Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement was $25,047,136 and net
expenses after taking into account the expense reimbursement from SIC Advisors, was $19,825,040.

Net Realized Gains/Losses from
Investments

We measure realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and
the amortized cost basis of an investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized.

During the
years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 we recognized $11,309,852, $7,011,513 and $97,424 respectively, in net realized gains on total investments.

Net Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Investments

Net change
in unrealized appreciation on investments reflects the net change in the fair value of our total investments. For the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 we had unrealized depreciation of $67,923,168 and $12,525,678 respectively, on total
investments. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we had unrealized appreciation of $839,817 on our portfolio investments.

Changes in
Net Assets from Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded a net decrease in net assets
resulting from operations of $10,112,813 versus a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $14,052,250 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Based on 70,648,292 and 35,425,825 weighted average common shares outstanding for the
years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, our per share net decrease in net assets resulting from operations was $0.14 for the year ended December 31, 2015 versus a per share net increase in net assets from operations of $0.40
for the year ended December 31, 2014.

##### Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting
from operations of $14,052,250 versus a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $6,280,786 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Based on 35,425,825 and 7,426,660 weighted average common shares outstanding for the years ended
December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.40 for the year ended December 31, 2014 versus a per share net increase in net assets from operations of $0.85 for the year ended
December 31, 2013.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a BDC, we distribute substantially all of our net income to our stockholders and have an ongoing need to raise additional capital for
investment purposes. To fund growth, we have a number of alternatives available to increase capital; including raising equity, increasing debt, and funding from operational cash flow.

Our liquidity and capital resources have been generated primarily from the net proceeds of our public offering of common stock.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, we had $93.7 million and $65.7 million respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. In the
future, we may generate cash from future offerings of securities, future borrowings and cash flows from operations, including interest earned from the temporary investment of cash in U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments
that mature in one year or less. Our primary use of funds is investments in our targeted asset classes, cash distributions to our stockholders, and other general corporate purposes.

In order to satisfy the Code requirements applicable to a RIC, we intend to distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our
taxable income, but we may also elect to periodically spillover certain excess undistributed taxable income from one tax year into the next tax year. In addition, as a BDC, we generally are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total
senior securities, which include borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow.

On December 4, 2013, we entered into a three-year senior secured syndicated revolving credit facility with a one-year term out period (the ING Facility) pursuant to a Senior Secured
Revolving Credit Agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement) with certain lenders party thereto from time to time and ING Capital LLC, as administrative agent. The ING Facility matures on December 4, 2017 and is secured by
substantially all of our assets, subject to certain exclusions as further set forth in a Guarantee, Pledge and Security Agreement (the Security Agreement) entered into in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement, among us, the
Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, ING Capital LLC, as Administrative Agent, each Financial Agent and Designated Indebtedness Holder party thereto and ING Capital LLC, as Collateral Agent. The ING Facility also includes usual and customary
representations, covenants and events of default for senior secured revolving credit facilities of this nature.

On November
24, 2014 the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Revolving Credit Agreement, or the Amended Revolving Facility, with certain lenders a party thereto and ING Capital LLC, as administrative agent. The Amended Revolving Facility modifies
certain provisions of the Companys existing Revolving Credit Agreement. The Amended Revolving Facility was amended to, among other things, increase the maximum amount of the accordion feature which permits subsequent increases in commitments
under the Amended Revolving Facility to $500 million. Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Facility are subject to, among other things, a minimum borrowing/collateral base and substantially all of the Companys assets are pledged as
collateral under the Amended Revolving Facility. As of December 31, 2015, our borrowings under the ING Facility totaled $145,000,000 and were recorded as part of revolving credit facility payable on our consolidated statements of assets and
liabilities.

On July 23, 2014, our wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, Alpine
Funding LLC (Alpine), entered into a revolving credit facility (the Alpine Credit Facility) pursuant to a Loan Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (JPMorgan), as administrative agent and
lender, the Financing Providers from time to time party thereto, SIC Advisors LLC, as the portfolio manager, and the Collateral Administrator, Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary party thereto (the Loan Agreement). Alpines
obligations to JPMorgan under the Alpine Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Alpine, including its portfolio of loans. The obligations of Alpine under the Alpine Credit Facility are
non-recourse to the Company.

Borrowings under the Alpine Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a net asset value
coverage ratio with respect to the current value of Alpines portfolio and various eligibility criteria must be satisfied with respect to the initial acquisition of each loan in Alpines portfolio. Any amounts borrowed under the Alpine
Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on July 23, 2019. As of December 31, 2015, Alpines borrowings under the Alpine Credit Facility totaled $240,000,000 and were
recorded as part of revolving credit facility payable on our consolidated statements of assets and liabilities.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. On April 5, 2012, we entered
into the Investment Advisory Agreement with SIC Advisors in accordance with the 1940 Act. The Investment Advisory Agreement became effective as of April 17, 2012, the date that we met the minimum offering requirement. Pursuant to the 1940 Act,
the initial term of the Investment Advisory Agreement was for two years from its effective date, with one-year renewals subject to approval by our board of directors, a majority of whom must be independent directors. On March 2, 2016, the board
of directors approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term at an in-person meeting. SIC Advisors serves as our investment advisor in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Payments
under our Investment Advisory Agreement in each reporting period consist of (i) a management fee equal to a percentage of the value of our gross assets and (ii) an incentive fee based on our performance.

On April 5, 2012, we entered into the Administration Agreement with Medley Capital LLC with an initial term of two years, pursuant
to which Medley Capital LLC furnishes us with administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. On March 2, 2016, the board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration Agreement for an additional one-year term
at an in-person meeting. Medley Capital LLC is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on our behalf in performing its obligations. Such costs are reasonably allocated to us on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable
methods. We do not reimburse Medley Capital LLC for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of Medley Capital LLC.

If any of our contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs may increase under any new agreements that we
enter into as replacements. We would also likely incur expenses in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive under the investment advisory agreement and administration agreement. Any new investment advisory agreement
would also be subject to approval by our stockholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On August 27, 2013, Arbor Funding LLC (Arbor), a wholly-owned financing subsidiary of the Company, entered into a total
return swap (TRS) with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank).

On June 8, 2015, the Company, through Arbor Funding
LLC, or Arbor, its wholly-owned financing subsidiary, entered into the Third Amended and Restated Confirmation Letter Agreement, or the Third Amended Confirmation Agreement with Citibank initially entered into on August 27, 2013, and amended and
restated on March 21, 2014 and July 23, 2014, relating to a total return swap, or TRS, for senior secured floating rate loans.

The TRS with Citi enables the Company, through Arbor, to obtain the economic benefit of the loans subject to the TRS, despite the fact that such loans will not be directly held or otherwise owned
by the Company or Arbor, in return for an interest-type payment to Citi. The Third Amended Confirmation Agreement reduces the maximum market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of the portfolio of loans that
Arbor may select from $350,000,000 to $300,000,000. Other than the foregoing, the Third Amended Confirmation Agreement did not change any of the other terms of the TRS.

The TRS with Citibank enables Arbor to obtain the economic benefit of the loans underlying the TRS, despite the fact that such loans will not be directly held or otherwise owned by Arbor, in return for an
interest-type payment to Citibank. Accordingly, the TRS is analogous to Arbor utilizing leverage to acquire loans and incurring an interest expense to a lender.

SIC Advisors acts as the investment manager of Arbor and has discretion over the composition of the basket of loans underlying the TRS. The terms of the TRS are governed by an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement,
the Schedule thereto and Credit Support Annex to such Schedule, and the Confirmation exchanged thereunder, between Arbor and Citibank, which collectively establish the TRS, and are collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement.

Our derivative asset from Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement as of
December 31, 2015 was $1,493,253, which is recorded on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as receivable due on total return swap.

Transactions in total return swap contracts during the year ended December 31, 2015 were $11.6 million in realized gains and $19.7 million in unrealized losses, which is recorded on the consolidated
statements of operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the average notional par amount of total return swap
contracts was $222.6 million.

On March 27, 2015, Sierra Income Corporation and Great American Life Insurance Company
(GALIC) entered into a limited liability company operating agreement to co-manage Sierra Senior Loan Strategy JV I LLC (Sierra JV). Sierra Income Corporation and GALIC have committed to provide $100 million of equity to
Sierra JV, with the Sierra Income Corporation providing $87.5 million and GALIC providing $12.5 million. Sierra JV commenced operations on July 15, 2015. On August 4, 2015, Sierra JV entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility
(the JV Facility) led by Credit Suisse, AG with initial commitments of $100 million. As of December 31, 2015, there was $52.7 million outstanding under the JV Facility and the Sierra JV had total assets at fair value of $102.3
million. As of December 31, 2015, Sierra JVs portfolio was comprised of senior secured first lien loans to 17 different borrowers with no loans on non-accrual status.

Sierra Income Corporation has determined that Sierra JV is an investment company under ASC 946, however in accordance with such guidance,
Sierra Income Corporation will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly owned investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly,
Sierra Income Corporation does not consolidate its interest in Sierra JV.

Distributions

We have elected and intend to continue to qualify to be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a RIC under subchapter M of the
Code. To obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment, we must, among others things, distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders. In order to
avoid certain U.S. federal excise taxes imposed on RICs, we must distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (i) 98% of our ordinary income for

the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made by
us to use our taxable year) and (iii) any ordinary income and net capital gains for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax.

While we intend to distribute any income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of the 4% U.S. federal excise
tax, sufficient amounts of our taxable income and capital gains may not be distributed to avoid entirely the imposition of the tax. In that event, we will be liable for the tax only on the amount by which we do not meet the foregoing distribution
requirement.

We currently intend to distribute net capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net
short-term capital losses), if any, at least annually out of the assets legally available for such distributions. However, we may decide in the future to retain such capital gains for investment and elect to treat such gains as deemed distributions
to you. If this happens, you will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if you had received an actual distribution of the capital gains that we retain and reinvested the net after tax proceeds in us. In this situation, you would be
eligible to claim a tax credit (or, in certain circumstances, a tax refund) equal to your allocable share of the tax we paid on the capital gains deemed distributed to you. We can offer no assurance that we will continue to achieve results that will
permit the payment of any cash distributions and, if we issue senior securities, we may be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the 1940 Act or if distributions are
limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

Subject to our board of directors discretion and applicable legal
restrictions, we expect to authorize and pay monthly distributions to our stockholders. Any distributions to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. We expect to continue making monthly distributions
unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions, or other factors prohibit us from doing so. From time to time, but not less than quarterly, we will review our accounts to determine whether
distributions to our stockholders are appropriate. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. We expect that for a significant time after the commencement of our offering, a portion
of our distributions may result from expense support payments made by SIC Advisors that may be subject to repayment by us within three years. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid such distributions being characterized as returns of capital
for GAAP purposes. We may still have distributions which could be characterized as a return of capital for tax purposes. Such distributions are not based on our investment performance and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment
performance in future periods and/or SIC Advisors continues to make Expense Support Payments under the Expense Support Agreement. Any future reimbursements to SIC Advisors will reduce the distributions that may otherwise be available for
distribution to stockholders. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the performance necessary to sustain our distributions or that we will be able to pay distributions at all. SIC Advisors has no obligation to make Expense Support Payments
pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement after March 31, 2016, unless the Expense Support Agreement is extended. For the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 if net Expense Support Payments of $6,283,327 and 5,222,096 were not made by
SIC Advisors, approximately 11% and 18% of the distributions would have been a return of capital for GAAP purposes, respectively.

Our distributions may exceed our earnings, which we refer to as a return of capital, especially during the period before we have invested substantially all of the proceeds of our offering. As a result, a
portion of the distributions we make may represent a return of capital for tax purposes. Our use of the term return of capital merely means distributions in excess of our earnings and as such may constitute a return on your individual
investments and does not mean a return on capital. Therefore stockholders are advised that they should be aware of the differences with our use of the term return of capital and return on capital.

We have adopted an opt in distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which our common
stockholders may elect to have the full amount of any cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. As a result, if we declare a cash distribution, stockholders that have opted in to our distribution
reinvestment plan will have their distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock rather than receiving cash dividends. Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to
the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.

Each year a statement on Internal Revenue Service Form 1099-DIV (or such successor form)
identifying the source of the distribution (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gain on the sale of securities, or a return of capital) will be mailed to our stockholders. The tax basis of shares must be reduced by the
amount of any return of capital distributions, which will result in an increase in the amount of any taxable gain (or a reduction in any deductible loss) on the sale of shares.

Related Party Transactions

On October 19, 2011, SIC Advisors entered
into a subscription agreement to purchase 110.80 shares of common stock for cash consideration of $1,000. The consideration represents $9.025 per share.

On April 17, 2012, SIC Advisors purchased 1,108,033.24 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $10,000,000. The consideration represents $9.025 per share.

We have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement and Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement with SIC Advisors in which our
senior management holds an equity interest. Members of our senior management also serve as principals of other investment managers affiliated with SIC Advisors that do, and may in the future, manage investment funds, accounts or other investment
vehicles with investment objectives similar to ours.

We have entered into an Administration Agreement with Medley Capital
LLC, pursuant to which Medley Capital LLC furnishes us with administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. Medley Capital LLC is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on our behalf. We do not reimburse Medley
Capital LLC for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of Medley Capital LLC. Medley Capital LLC is an affiliate of
SIC Advisors.

We have entered into a dealer manager agreement with SC Distributors, LLC who receives a dealer manager fee of
up to 2.75% of gross proceeds raised in the offering. An affiliated entity of SC Distributors, LLC owns an equity interest in SIC Advisors, which provides the right to receive a fixed percentage of the management fees received by SIC Advisors.

We have entered into a license agreement with SIC Advisors under which SIC Advisors has agreed to grant us a non-exclusive,
royalty-free license to use the name Sierra for specified purposes in our business. Under this agreement, we will have a right to use the Sierra name, subject to certain conditions, for so long as SIC Advisors or one of its
affiliates remains our investment advisor. Other than with respect to this limited license, we will have no legal right to the Sierra name.

Management Fee

We pay SIC Advisors a fee for its services under the
Investment Advisory Agreement. The fee consists of two components: a base management fee and an incentive fee.

The base
management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of our gross assets and is payable quarterly in arrears. The incentive fee consists of:



| |  |  | An incentive fee on net investment income (subordinated incentive fee on income) is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and is
based upon pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. No subordinated incentive fee on income is payable in any calendar quarter in which pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed a quarterly return
to stockholders of 1.75% per quarter on the Companys net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, or the preferred quarterly return. All pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that

| | exceeds the quarterly preferred return, but is less than or equal to 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter in any quarter, will be payable to SIC Advisors.
The Company refers to this portion of its subordinated incentive fee on income as the catch up. It is intended to provide an incentive fee of 20% on pre-incentive fee net investment income when pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875%
of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter in any quarter. For any quarter in which the Companys pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, the
subordinated incentive fee on income shall equal 20% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income, because the preferred return and catch up will have been achieved.

| |  |  | A capital gains incentive fee will be earned on realized investments and shall be payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year during which
the IAA is in effect. If the IAA is terminated, the fee will become payable as of the effective date of such termination. The capital gains incentive fee is based on our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, computed net of
all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, which we refer to as net realized capital gains. The capital gains incentive fee equals 20% of net realized capital gains, less the aggregate
amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fee.

Under the terms of the investment advisory
agreement, SIC Advisors bears all organization and offering expenses on our behalf. Since June 2, 2014, the date that we raised $300 million in gross proceeds in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock, SIC Advisors has no longer been
obligated to bear, pay or otherwise be responsible for any ongoing organization and offering expenses on our behalf, and we have been responsible for paying or otherwise incurring all such organization and offering expenses. Pursuant to the terms of
the Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse SIC Advisors for any such organizational and offering expenses incurred by SIC Advisors not to exceed 1.25% of the gross subscriptions raised by us over the course of the offering
period, which was initially scheduled to terminate two years from the initial offering date, unless extended. At a meeting held on March 4, 2015, our board of directors approved an extension of our offering for an additional year, which will
expire on April 17, 2016. Most recently, at a meeting held on March 2, 2016, our board of directors approved another extension of our offering for an additional year, which will extend the offering through April 17, 2017, unless further
extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that organizational and offering expenses, together with sales commissions, the dealer manager fee and any discounts paid to members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, exceed 15% of
the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our registration statement or otherwise at the time of the completion of our offering, then SIC Advisors shall be required to pay or, if already paid by us, reimburse us for
amounts exceeding such 15% limit.

Critical Accounting Policies

This discussion of our expected operating plans is based upon our expected consolidated financial statements, which will be prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements will require our 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, we will
describe our critical accounting policies in the notes to our future consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Investments

The Company applies fair value accounting to all of its financial instruments in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820  Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC
820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the
priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as identified below and discussed in Note 4.



| |  |  | Level 1  Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. Publicly listed equities and publicly
listed derivatives will be included in Level 1. In addition, securities sold, but not yet purchased and call options will be included in Level 1. We will not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large
position and a sale could reasonably affect the quoted price.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting
date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. In certain cases, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from an orderly transaction between market participants provided by
reputable dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions
in comparable investments, and various relationships between investments. Investments which are generally expected to be included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, convertible debt indexed to publicly listed securities, and certain
over-the-counter derivatives.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3  Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the
investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation. Investments that are expected to be included in this category are our private portfolio companies.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant who holds the financial instrument rather
than an entity specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Companys own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at
the measurement date.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations,
which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or multiple broker-dealers or market makers. We weight the use of third-party broker quotes, if any, in determining fair value based on our understanding of the level of actual
transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer. However, debt investments with remaining maturities within 60 days that are not credit impaired are valued at cost plus accreted
discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Companys board of directors based upon input from management
and third party valuation firms. Because these investments are illiquid and because there may not be any directly comparable companies whose financial instruments have observable market values, these loans are valued using a fundamental valuation
methodology, consistent with traditional asset pricing standards, that is objective and consistently applied across all loans and through time.

The Company uses third-party valuation firms to assist the board of directors in the valuation of its portfolio investments. The valuation reports generated by the third-party valuation firms consider the
evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market based information, including comparable transactions, performance multiples, and movement in yields of debt instruments, among other factors. Based on
market data obtained from the third-party valuation firms, the Company uses a combined market yield analysis and an enterprise model of valuation. In applying the market yield analysis, the value of the Companys loans is determined based upon
inputs such as the coupon rate, current market yield, interest rate

spreads of similar securities, the stated value of the loan, and the length to maturity. In applying the enterprise model, the Company uses a waterfall analysis which takes into account the
specific capital structure of the borrower and the related seniority of the instruments within the borrowers capital structure into consideration. To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, we weigh some or all of the
traditional market valuation methods and factors based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value. The methodologies for performing investments may be based on, among other things: valuations
of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, third party valuations of the portfolio company, considering offers from third parties to buy
the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the value of recent investments in the equity securities of the portfolio company. For non-performing investments, we may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of
the portfolio companys assets and liabilities using an expected recovery model. We may estimate the fair value of warrants based on a model such as the Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof.

The Company undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter when valuing investments for which market quotations are not readily
available, as described below:



| |  |  | the Companys quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible
for monitoring the portfolio investment;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an independent valuation firm engaged by the Companys board of directors prepares an independent valuation report for approximately one third of
the portfolio investments each quarter on a rotating quarterly basis on non fiscal year-end quarters, such that each of these investments will be valued by an independent valuation firm at least twice per annum when combined with the fiscal year-end
review of all the investments by independent valuation firms, exclusive of TRS underlying portfolio.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In
addition, all of the Companys investments are subject to the following valuation process:



| |  |  | management reviews preliminary valuations and their own independent assessment;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the audit committee of the Companys board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of senior management and independent valuation firms;
and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair
value of the Companys investments may 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.

The valuation procedures described are generally applied to to the loans underlying the TRS, except that such assets are not reviewed by
independent third party valuation firms. We will value the TRS in accordance with the TRS Agreement. Pursuant to the TRS Agreement, the value of the TRS will be based on the increase or decrease in the value of the assets underlying the TRS,
together with accrued interest income, interest expense and certain other expenses incurred under the TRS. The assets underlying the TRS will be valued by Citibank. Citibank will base its valuation on the indicative bid prices provided by an
independent third-party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that market participants may be willing to pay. These valuations will be sent to us for review and testing. Our board of directors will review and approve the value of the
TRS, as well as the value of the assets underlying the TRS, on a quarterly basis as part of their quarterly determination of net asset value. To the extent our board of directors has any questions or concerns regarding the valuation of the assets
underlying the TRS, such valuation will be discussed or challenged pursuant to the terms of the TRS. For additional disclosures on the TRS, see  Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

Revenue Recognition

We record interest income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. For loans and debt securities with contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest
accrued and added to the principal balance, we generally will not accrue PIK interest for accounting purposes 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 securities or accounting purposes if we have reason to doubt our ability to collect such interest. Original issue discounts, market discounts or premiums are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method as interest income. We
record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as fee income. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amount.

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

We measure net realized gains or losses by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized appreciation or
depreciation previously recognized, but considering unamortized upfront fees and prepayment penalties. 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.

Payment-in-Kind
Interest

We have investments in our portfolio that contain a PIK interest provision. Any PIK interest is added to the
principal balance of such investments and is recorded as income, if the portfolio company valuation indicates that such PIK interest is collectible. In order to maintain our status as a RIC, substantially all of this income must be paid out to
stockholders in the form of dividends, even if we have not collected any cash.

Organization and Offering Expenses

As of June 2, 2014, the Company is responsible for all ongoing organization and offering expenses.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level
U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute to our stockholders from our tax earnings and profits. To obtain and maintain our RIC tax treatment, we must, among other things, meet specified source-of-income
and asset diversification requirements and distribute annually 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.



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

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Under the terms of the TRS between Arbor and Citibank, Arbor will pay fees to Citibank at a floating rate based on LIBOR in
exchange for the right to receive the economic benefit of a portfolio of assets having a maximum notional amount of $300,000,000. Our interest expense will also be affected by changes in the published LIBOR rate in connection with our Facilities. We
expect any future credit facilities, total return swap agreements or other financing arrangements that we or any of our subsidiaries may enter into will also be based on a floating interest rate. As a result, we are subject to risks relating to
changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates, when we or our subsidiaries have debt outstanding or swap agreements in effect, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income, especially to the
extent we hold fixed rate investments.

In addition, any investments we make that are denominated in a foreign currency will be
subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential
illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved.

Based on our
consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2015, the following table shows the approximate increase (decrease) in components of net assets resulting from operations of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates,
assuming no changes in our investment and capital structure:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Sierra Income Corporation

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

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

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

SIERRA INCOME CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2015

Note 1. Organization

Sierra Income Corporation (the Company) was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on
June 13, 2011 and formally commenced operations on April 17, 2012. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company
(BDC) under the 1940 Act. The Company is externally managed by SIC Advisors LLC (SIC Advisors), a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the Advisers Act). SIC
Advisors is a majority owned subsidiary of Medley LLC, which is controlled by Medley Management Inc., a publicly traded asset management firm (NYSE: MDLY), which in turn is controlled by Medley Group LLC, an entity wholly-owned by the senior
professionals of Medley LLC. The term Medley refers to the collective activities of Medley Capital LLC, Medley LLC, Medley Management Inc., Medley Group LLC, SIC Advisors, associated investment funds and their respective affiliates. The
Company has elected and intends to continue to qualify to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a Regulated Investment Company (RIC) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
The Companys fiscal year-end is December 31st.

On April 17, 2012, the Company successfully reached its
minimum escrow requirement and officially commenced operations by issuing 1,108,033 shares of common stock to SIC Advisors for gross proceeds of $10,000,000. The Companys offering period is currently scheduled to terminate on April 17,
2016, unless further extended. Since commencing its operations, the Company has sold a total of 82,623,649 shares of common stock, which includes shares issued as part of the distribution reinvestment plan (see Note 13), for total proceeds of $793.2
million, which includes the shares sold to SIC Advisors. The proceeds from the issuance of common stock are presented in the Companys consolidated statements of changes in net assets and consolidated statements of cash flows and are presented
net of selling commissions and dealer manager fees.

On August 15, 2013, the Company formed Arbor Funding LLC
(Arbor), a wholly-owned financing subsidiary (see Note 5).

On June 18, 2014, the Company formed Alpine
Funding LLC (Alpine), a wholly-owned financing subsidiary (see Note 6).

The Company has formed and expects to
continue to form certain taxable subsidiaries (the Taxable Subsidiaries), which are taxed as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These Taxable Subsidiaries allow the Company to hold equity securities of portfolio companies
organized as pass-through entities while continuing to satisfy the requirements of a RIC under the Code.

The Companys
investment objective is to generate current income, and to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Company intends to meet its investment objective by investing primarily in the debt of privately owned U.S. companies with a focus on
senior secured debt, second lien debt and, to a lesser extent, subordinated debt. The Company will originate transactions sourced through SIC Advisors direct origination network, and also expects to acquire debt securities through the
secondary market. The Company may make equity investments in companies that it believes will generate appropriate risk adjusted returns, although it does not expect such investment to be a substantial portion of the portfolio.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company follows the accounting and reporting
guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 Financial Services, Investment Companies(ASC 946).The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and includes the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alpine, Arbor, and
Taxable Subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to
the requirements for reporting on Form 10-K and Article 6 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933. In the opinion of management, the audited financial results included herein contain all adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary
for the fair presentation of financial statements for the periods included herein.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments or investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Cash and cash equivalents include deposits in a money market account. The Company deposits its cash in a financial institution which, at times, may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

Offering Costs

Offering
costs incurred directly by the Company are expensed in the period incurred. See Note 7 regarding offering costs paid for by SIC Advisors.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Deferred Financing Costs

Financing costs, incurred in connection with the Companys credit facilities (see Note 6), are deferred and amortized over the life
of each facility, respectively.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual agreements that provide general indemnifications against losses, costs, claims and liabilities arising from the performance of
individual obligations under such agreements. The Company has had no prior claims or payments pursuant to such agreements. The Companys individual maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that
may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, based on managements experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts, is recorded on an accrual basis. The Company records amortized or accreted discounts or premiums as interest income using the effective interest method. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis to the
extent that the Company expects to collect such amount.

##### Table of Contents

Fee income associated with investments in portfolio companies are recognized as income in
the period that the Company becomes entitled to such fees. Other fees related to loan administration requirements are capitalized as deferred revenue and recorded into income over the respective period.

Prepayment penalties received by the Company for debt instruments paid back to the Company prior to the maturity date are recorded as
income upon receipt.

The Company holds debt and preferred equity investments that contain a payment-in-kind (PIK)
interest provision. PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest added to the investment balance that is generally due at maturity, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. PIK
interest is not accrued if the Company does not expect the issuer to be able to pay all principal and interest when due. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 the Company recorded $2,973,290, $382,780, and $580 in PIK interest,
respectively.

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are
measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. The Company reports changes in fair value of investments that
are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments in the consolidated statements of operations. For total return swap transactions (see Note 5), periodic payments are received or
made at the end of each settlement period, but prior to settlement are recorded as realized gains or losses on total return swap in the consolidated statements of operations.

Management reviews all loans that become 90 days or more past due on principal and interest or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected for possible placement on
managements designation of non-accrual status. Accrued interest is generally reserved when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending
upon managements judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in managements judgment, are likely to remain current, although the Company may make
exceptions to this general rule if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. At December 31, 2015, three portfolio companies were on non-accrual status with a fair value of $9,902,391 or 1.09% of the fair
value of the Companys portfolio. At December 31, 2014, one portfolio company was on non-accrual status with a fair value of $237,651 or 0.1% of the fair value of the Companys portfolio.

Investment Classification

The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company would be
deemed to control a portfolio company if it owns more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. The Company refers to such
investments in portfolio companies that it controls as Controlled Investments. Under the 1940 Act, the Company would be deemed to be an Affiliated Person of a portfolio company if it owns between 5% and 25% of the
portfolio companys outstanding voting securities or if it is under common control with such portfolio company. The Company refers to such investments in Affiliated Persons as Affiliated Investments.

Valuation of Investments

The Company applies fair value accounting to all of its financial instruments in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has
categorized its financial instruments carried at fair value, based on

the priority of the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as discussed in Note 4. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market
participant who holds the financial instrument rather than an entity specific measure. Therefore, when market assumptions are not readily available, the Companys own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market
participants would use in pricing the financial instrument at the measurement date.

Investments for which market quotations
are readily available are valued at such market quotations, which are generally obtained from an independent pricing service or multiple broker-dealers or market makers. The Company weighs the use of third-party broker quotations, if any, in
determining fair value based on managements understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer. However, debt investments with remaining
maturities within 60 days that are not credit impaired are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates fair value. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value
as determined by the Companys board of directors based upon input from management and third party valuation firms. Because these investments are illiquid and because there may not be any directly comparable companies whose financial
instruments have observable market values, these loans are valued using a fundamental valuation methodology, consistent with traditional asset pricing standards, that is objective and consistently applied across all loans and through time.

Investments in investment funds are valued at fair value. Fair values are generally determined utilizing the net asset value
(NAV) supplied by, or on behalf of, management of each investment fund, which is net of management and incentive fees or allocations charged by the investment fund and is in accordance with the practical expedient, as defined
by the Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share. NAVs received by, or on behalf of, management of each investment fund are based on the fair value of the
investment funds underlying investments in accordance with policies established by management of each investment fund, as described in each of their financial statements and offering memorandum.

The methodologies utilized by the Company in estimating its fair value of its investments categorized as Level 3 generally fall into the
following two categories:



| |  |  | The Market Approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets,
liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Income Approach converts future amounts (for example, cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (that is, discounted)
amount. When the Income Approach is used, the fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about those future amounts.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company uses third-party valuation firms to assist the board of directors in the valuation of its portfolio investments. The valuation reports generated by the third-party valuation firms consider the
evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market based information, including comparable transactions, performance multiples, and movement in yields of debt instruments, among other factors. Based on
market data obtained from the third-party valuation firms, the Company uses a combined market yield analysis and an enterprise model of valuation. In applying the market yield analysis, the value of the Companys loans is determined based upon
inputs such as the coupon rate, current market yield, interest rate spreads of similar securities, the stated value of the loan, and the length to maturity. In applying the enterprise model, the Company uses a waterfall analysis which takes into
account the specific capital structure of the borrower and the related seniority of the instruments within the borrowers capital structure into consideration. To estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company, the Company weighs some
or all of the traditional market valuation methods and factors based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to estimate the enterprise value. The methodologies for performing investments may be based on, among other
things: valuations of comparable public companies, recent sales of private and public comparable companies, discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company, third party valuations of the portfolio company,

considering offers from third parties to buy the company, estimating the value to potential strategic buyers and considering the value of recent investments in the equity securities of the
portfolio company. For non-performing investments, the Company may estimate the liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio companys assets and liabilities using an expected recovery model. The Company may estimate the fair value of
warrants based on a model such as the Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof.

The methodologies
and information that the Company utilizes when applying the Market Approach for performing investments includes, among other things:



| |  |  | valuations of comparable public companies (Guideline Comparable Approach);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | recent sales of private and public comparable companies (Guideline Comparable Approach);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | recent acquisition prices of the company, debt securities or equity securities (Acquisition Price Approach);
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | external valuations of the portfolio company, offers from third parties to buy the company (Estimated Sales Proceeds Approach);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | subsequent sales made by the company of its investments (Expected Sales Proceeds Approach); and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | estimating the value to potential buyers.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------

The methodologies and information that the Company utilizes when applying the Income Approach for performing investments includes:



| |  |  | discounting the forecasted cash flows of the portfolio company or securities (Discounted Cash Flow or DCF Approach); and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Black-Scholes model or simulation models or a combination thereof (Income Approach  Option Model) with respect to the valuation of warrants.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over-the-counter derivative contracts, such as total return swaps (see Note 5) are fair valued using models
that measure the change in fair value of reference assets underlying the swaps offset against any fees payable to the swap counterparty. The fair values of the reference assets underlying the swaps are determined using similar methods as described
above for debt and equity investments where the Company also invests directly in such assets.

The Company undertakes a
multi-step valuation process each quarter when valuing investments for which market quotations are not readily available, as described below:



| |  |  | the Companys quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible
for monitoring the portfolio investment;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | conclusions are then documented and discussed with senior management; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an independent valuation firm engaged by the Companys board of directors prepares an independent valuation report for approximately one third of
the portfolio investments each quarter on a rotating quarterly basis on non-fiscal year-end quarters, such that each of these investments will be valued by an independent valuation firm at least twice per annum when combined with the fiscal year-end
review of all the investments by independent valuation firms.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, all of the Companys
investments are subject to the following valuation process:



| |  |  | management reviews preliminary valuations and its own independent assessment;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the independent audit committee of the Companys board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of senior management and independent
valuation firms; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair
value of the Companys investments may 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of certain of the Companys financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying
amounts and fair values of the Companys long-term obligations are discussed in Note 4.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax
treatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of the sum of its
investment company taxable income (ICTI) including PIK, as defined by the Code, and net tax-exempt interest income (which is the excess of the Companys gross tax-exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions) for each
taxable year in order to be eligible for tax treatment under subchapter M of the Code. Depending on the level of ICTI earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year dividend distributions into the next
tax year. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.

The Company will be subject to a nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax of 4% on undistributed income if it does not distribute at least
98% of its ordinary income in any calendar year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for each one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year. 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 for U.S. federal excise tax purposes, the Company accrues U.S. federal excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.

The Companys Taxable Subsidiaries accrue income taxes payable based on the applicable corporate rates on the unrealized gains
generated by the investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $298,827 and $86,600, respectively, on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The
change in deferred tax liabilities is included as a component of net gain/(loss) on investments and total return swap on investments in the consolidated statements of operations.

ICTI generally differs from net investment income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the
recognition of income and expenses. The Company may be required to recognize ICTI in certain circumstances in which it does not receive cash. For example, if the Company holds debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having
original issue discount, the Company must include in ICTI 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 the Company in the same
taxable year. The Company may also have to include in ICTI other amounts that it has not yet received in cash, such as 1) PIK interest income and 2) interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting
purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. Because any original issue discount or other amounts accrued will be included in the Companys ICTI
for the year of accrual, the Company may be required to make a distribution

to its stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, even though the Company will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. ICTI also
excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.

Although the Company files federal and state tax returns, the Companys major tax jurisdiction is the United States federal jurisdiction. The Companys federal tax returns from inception-to-date
remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC
Topic 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). ASC 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Companys tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the
more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the consolidated
statements of operations. There were no interest or penalties due to material uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2015, 2014, or 2013.

Permanent differences between ICTI and net investment income for financial reporting purposes are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character.
Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company reclassified for book purposes amounts arising from
permanent book/tax differences related to the different tax treatment of realized gain/(loss) on swaps, defaulted bonds and certain fee income as follows:

Segments

The Company invests in various industries. The Company separately evaluates the performance of each of its investment relationships. However, because each of these investment relationships has similar
business and economic characteristics, they have been aggregated into a single investment segment. All applicable segment disclosures are included in or can be derived from the Companys consolidated financial statements. See Note 3 for further
information.

Company Investment Risk, Concentration of Credit Risk, and Liquidity Risk

SIC Advisors has broad discretion in making investments for the Company. Investments generally consist of debt instruments that may be
affected by business, financial market or legal uncertainties. Prices of investments may be volatile, and a variety of factors that are inherently difficult to predict, such as domestic or international economic and political developments, may
significantly affect the results of the Companys activities and the value of its investments. In addition, the value of the Companys portfolio may fluctuate as the general level of interest rates fluctuates.

The value of the Companys investments in loans and bonds may be detrimentally affected to the extent, among other things, that a
borrower defaults on its obligations, there is insufficient collateral and/or there are extensive legal and other costs incurred in collecting on a defaulted loan, observable secondary or primary market yields for similar instruments issued by
comparable companies increase materially or risk premiums required in the market between smaller companies, such as the Companys borrowers, and those for which market yields are observable, increase materially.

The Companys assets may, at any time, include securities and other financial instruments or obligations that are illiquid or thinly
traded, making purchase or sale of such securities and financial instruments at desired prices or in desired quantities difficult. Furthermore, the sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely
difficult to value any such investments accurately.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2015-07 Fair Value Measurements: Disclosures for
Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).The pronouncement removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using NAV per
share practical expedient. The pronouncement also

removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those
disclosures are limited to the investments for which the entity has not elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. The Company has elected to early adopt the pronouncement for the current reporting period, which is permitted;
therefore the Company excluded all investments in affiliated entities fair valued using the practical expedient from the fair value hierarchy.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 Interest  Imputation of Interest (ASU 2015-03). The pronouncement requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt
liability be presented in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendment becomes effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2015. ASU 2015-03 may be early adopted and applied retroactively. The Company has not elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 and is considering its effects upon the financial statements.

In August, 2014, the FASB released Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements  Going Concern
(Subtopic 205-40) (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 requires the Company to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entitys ability to continue as a going
concern within the one year period subsequent to the date that the financial statements are issued or within the one year period subsequent the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. ASU 2014-15 becomes effective for fiscal
periods ending after December 15, 2016; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company has not elected to early adopt ASU 2015-15 and is considering its effects upon the financial statements.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows ASC 820 for measuring the fair value of portfolio investments. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available,
valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments complexity. The
Companys fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded loan commitments. Financial investments recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level
of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure

their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the investment as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as
follows. Investments which are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from this hierarchy:



| |  |  | Level 1  Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly
observable at the measurement date. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets including actionable bids from third
parties for privately held assets or liabilities, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves and forward currency rates that are entered directly into valuation models to determine the value of derivatives or other assets or
liabilities.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3  Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and where there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs
for the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation and is based upon managements assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. These
investments include debt and equity investments in private companies or assets valued using the Market or Income Approach and may involve pricing models whose inputs require significant judgment or estimation because of the absence of any meaningful
current market data for identical or similar investments. The inputs in these valuations may include, but are not limited to, capitalization and discount rates, beta and EBITDA multiples. The information may also include pricing information or
broker quotes which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimer would result in classification as Level 3
information, assuming no additional corroborating evidence.

In addition to using the above inputs in
investment valuations, the Company employs the valuation policy approved by the board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820 (see Note 2). Consistent with the Companys valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of inputs,
including any markets in which the Companys investments are trading, in determining fair value.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys debt and
derivative investments are market yields. Increases in market yields would result in lower fair value measurements.

The
significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys warrants/equity investments are comparable company multiples of Revenue or Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) for
the latest twelve months (LTM), next twelve months (NTM) or a reasonable period a market participant would consider. Increases in EBITDA multiples in isolation would result in higher fair value measurement.

Note 5. Total Return Swap

On August 27, 2013, the Company, through its wholly-owned financing subsidiary, Arbor, entered into a total return swap
(TRS) with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank) that is indexed to a basket of loans.

The TRS with Citibank
enables Arbor, to obtain the economic benefit of the loans underlying the TRS, despite the fact that such loans will not be directly held or otherwise owned by Arbor, in return for an interest-type payment to Citibank.

SIC Advisors acts as the investment manager of Arbor and has discretion over the composition of the basket of loans underlying the TRS.
The terms of the TRS are governed by an ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, the Schedule thereto and Credit Support Annex to such Schedule, and the Confirmation exchanged thereunder, between Arbor and Citibank, which collectively establish the TRS, and are
collectively referred to herein as the TRS Agreement. On March 21, 2014, Arbor amended and restated its Confirmation Letter Agreement (the Amended Confirmation Agreement) with Citibank. The Amended Confirmation Agreement
increases the maximum market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of the portfolio of loans that Arbor may select from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000, and increased the interest rate payable to Citibank from LIBOR
plus 1.30% per annum to LIBOR plus 1.35% per annum. Other than the foregoing, the Amended Confirmation Agreement did not change any of the other terms of the TRS.

##### Table of Contents

On July 23, 2014, Arbor entered into the Second Amended and Restated Confirmation
Letter Agreement (the Second Amended Confirmation Agreement) with CitiBank. The Second Amended Confirmation Agreement increases the maximum market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of the portfolio
of loans that Arbor may select from $200,000,000 to $350,000,000. Other than the foregoing, the Second Amended Confirmation Agreement did not change any of the other terms of the TRS.

On June 8, 2015, Arbor entered into the Third Amended and Restated Confirmation Letter Agreement (the Third Amended
Confirmation Agreement) with CitiBank. The Third Amended Confirmation Agreement decreases the maximum market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of the portfolio of loans that Arbor may select from
$350,000,000 to $300,000,000. Other than the foregoing, the Third Amended Confirmation Agreement did not change any of the other terms of the TRS.

Pursuant to the terms of the TRS Agreement, as amended by the Second Amended Confirmation Agreement and Third Amended Confirmation Agreement, and subject to conditions customary for transactions of this
nature, Arbor may select a portfolio of loans with a maximum market value (determined at the time each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) of $300,000,000, which is also referred to as the maximum notional amount of the TRS. Each individual loan,
and the portfolio of loans taken as a whole, must meet criteria described in the Amended TRS Agreement. Arbor receives from Citibank a periodic payment on set dates that is based upon any coupons, both earned and accrued, generated by the loans
underlying the TRS, subject to limitations described in the Amended TRS Agreement as well as any fees associated with the loans included in the portfolio. Arbor pays to Citibank interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.35% per annum.
In addition, upon the termination or repayment of any loan subject to the TRS, Arbor either receives from Citibank the appreciation in the value of such loan, or pays to Citibank any depreciation in the value of such loan.

Citibank may terminate the TRS on or after the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS. SIC Advisors may terminate the TRS on
behalf of Arbor at any time upon providing 10 days prior notice to Citibank. Any termination by SIC Advisors on behalf of Arbor prior to the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS will result in payment of an early termination fee to
Citibank. The early termination fee shall equal the present value of the following two cash flows: (a) interest payments at a rate equal 1.35% based on 70% of the maximum notional amount of $300,000,000, payable from the later of the first
anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS or the termination date until the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS and (b) interest payments at a rate equal to 0.15% based on the maximum notional amount of $300,000,000, payable
from the later of the first anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS or the termination date until the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the TRS.

Arbor is required to pay a minimum usage fee in connection with the TRS of 1.35% on the amount equal to 85% of the average daily unused portion of the maximum amount permitted under the TRS. Such minimum
usage fee will not apply during the first 365 days and last 60 days of the term of the TRS. Arbor will also pay Citibank customary fees in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the TRS. During the years ended December 31, 2015
and 2014, Arbor paid $636,962 and $0 in minimum usage fees, respectively.

Arbor is required to initially cash collateralize a
specified percentage of each loan (generally 25% to 35% of the market value of such loan) included under the TRS in accordance with margin requirements described in the Amended TRS Agreement. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, Arbor has posted
$77,029,970 and $56,877,928, respectively, in collateral to Citibank in relation to the TRS which is recorded on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as cash collateral on total return swap. Arbor may be required to post additional
collateral from time to time as a result of a decline in the mark-to-market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS. The obligations of Arbor under the Amended TRS Agreement are non-recourse to the Company and the Companys exposure
under the Amended TRS Agreement is limited to the value of the Companys investment in Arbor, which generally equals the value of cash collateral provided by Arbor under the Amended TRS Agreement.

##### Table of Contents

In connection with the TRS, Arbor has made customary representations and warranties and is
required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar transactions. In addition to customary events of default and termination events included in the form ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, the
Amended TRS Agreement contains the following termination events: (a) a failure to satisfy the portfolio criteria for at least 30 days; (b) a failure to post initial cash collateral or additional collateral as required by the Amended TRS
Agreement; (c) a default by Arbor or the Company with respect to indebtedness in an amount equal to or greater than the lesser of $10,000,000 and 2% of the Companys net asset value at such time; (d) a merger of Arbor or the Company
meeting certain criteria; (e) the Company or Arbor amending their respective constituent documents to alter their investment strategy in a manner that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; and (f) SIC

Note 6. Borrowings

As a BDC, the Company is only allowed to employ leverage to the extent that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% after giving effect to such leverage. The amount of
leverage that the Company employs at any time depends on its assessment of the market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.

The fair value of the Companys debt obligation is determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Companys margin borrowings are estimated based upon market interest rates for its own borrowings or entities with similar
credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. The Companys debt obligation is recorded at its carrying value, which approximates fair value.

ING Credit Facility

On November 24, 2014, the Company amended
its existing senior secured syndicated revolving credit facility (the ING Credit Facility) pursuant to a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement) with certain lenders party thereto from time
to time and ING Capital LLC, as administrative agent. The ING Credit Facility matures on December 4, 2017 and is secured by substantially all of the Companys assets, subject to certain exclusions as further set forth in a Guarantee,
Pledge and Security Agreement (the Security Agreement) entered into in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, ING Capital LLC, as Administrative Agent, each Financial
Agent and Designated Indebtedness Holder party thereto and ING Capital LLC, as Collateral Agent. The ING Credit Facility also includes usual and customary representations, covenants and events of default for senior secured revolving credit
facilities of this nature. On February 13, 2015 commitments to the ING credit facility were expanded from $150,000,000 to $170,000.000.

The ING Credit Facility allows for the Company, at its option, to borrow money at a rate of either (i) an alternate base rate plus 1.75% per annum or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum.
The interest rate margins are subject to certain step-downs upon the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Revolving Credit Agreement. The alternate base rate will be the greatest of (i) the U.S. Prime Rate set forth in the Wall
Street Journal, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%, and (iii) three month LIBOR plus 1.00%. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the commitment under the ING Credit Facility was $170,000,000 and $150,000,000,
respectively, and the ING Credit Facility includes an accordion feature that allows for potential future expansion of the ING Credit Facility up to a total of $500,000,000. Availability of loans under the ING Credit Facility is linked to the
valuation of the collateral pursuant to a borrowing base mechanism.

The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee to
the lenders based on the daily unused portion of the aggregate commitments under the ING Credit Facility. The commitment fee is (i) 0.50% for the initial six month period commencing on the closing date and (ii) thereafter, 1% of the
aggregate unused commitments if the used portion of the aggregate commitments is less than or equal to 35% of the aggregate commitments, or 0.50% if the used portion of the aggregate commitments is greater than 35% of the aggregate commitments. The
ING Credit Facility provides that the Company may use the proceeds of the facility for general corporate purposes, including making investments in accordance with the Companys investment objective and strategy.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are subject to, among other things, a minimum borrowing base. Substantially all of the
Companys assets are pledged as collateral under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The ING Credit Facility requires the Company to, among other things (i) make representations and warranties regarding the collateral as well the
Companys business and operations, (ii) agree to certain indemnification obligations, and (iii) agree to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants. The documents for the Revolving Credit Agreement also include default
provisions, such as the failure to make timely payments under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the occurrence of a change in control, and the failure by

the Company to materially perform under the operative agreements governing the Revolving Credit Agreement, which, if not complied with, could accelerate repayment under the Revolving Credit
Agreement, thereby materially and adversely affecting the Companys liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

In connection with the security interest established under the Security Agreement, the Company, ING Capital LLC, in its capacity as collateral agent, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, in its
capacity as the Companys custodian, entered into a Control Agreement dated as of December 4, 2013 (the Control Agreement), in order to, among other things, perfect the security interest granted pursuant to the Security
Agreement in, and provide for control over, the related collateral.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the carrying
amount of the Companys borrowings under the ING Credit Facility approximated their fair value. The fair value of the Companys debt obligation is determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that
would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Companys borrowing under the ING Credit Facility is estimated based upon
market interest rates of the Companys borrowing or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the ING Credit Facility would be deemed to be Level 3, as defined in Note 4.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, $1,061,595 and $1,992,919 of financing costs related to the ING Credit Facility have
been capitalized and are being amortized over the respective terms, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $4,118,971 and $2,653,616, respectively, of interest and financing expenses related to the
ING Credit Facility, of which $3,431,490 and $2,049,638 was attributable to interest and $687,481 and $603,978 was attributable to amortization of deferred financing costs, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Companys
outstanding borrowings under the ING Credit Facility were $145,000,000 and $115,000,000, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Companys weighted average outstanding debt balance and interest rate on the ING Credit
Facility was $97,547,945 and 3.5% respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Companys weighted average outstanding debt balance and interest rate on the ING Credit Facility was $58,538,462 and 3.2%, respectively.

Alpine Credit Facility

On July 23, 2014, the Companys wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, Alpine, entered into a revolving credit facility (the Alpine Credit Facility) pursuant to a Loan
Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (JPMorgan), as administrative agent and lender, the Financing Providers from time to time party thereto, SIC Advisors, as the portfolio manager, and the Collateral Administrator,
Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary party thereto (the Loan Agreement). Alpines obligations to JPMorgan under the Alpine Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets
of Alpine, including its portfolio of loans. The obligations of Alpine under the Alpine Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company.

The Alpine Credit Facility provides for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount up to $300,000,000 on a committed basis. Borrowings under the Alpine Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a
net asset value coverage ratio with respect to the current value of Alpines portfolio and various eligibility criteria must be satisfied with respect to the initial acquisition of each loan in Alpines portfolio. Any amounts borrowed
under the Alpine Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on July 23, 2019.

Pricing under the Alpine Credit Facility for each one month calculation period is based on LIBOR for an interest period of one month, plus a spread of 3.25% per annum. If LIBOR is unavailable,
pricing will be determined at the prime rate offered by JPMorgan or the federal funds effective rate, plus a spread of 3.25% per annum. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Beginning February 23, 2015, Alpine is required to pay a
commitment fee equal to .50% on the average daily unused amount of the financing commitments to the extent $150,000,000 has not been borrowed. Alpine also paid a set-up fee and incurred certain other customary costs

and expenses in connection with obtaining the Alpine Credit Facility on July 23, 2014, and its first amendment which increased the aggregate principal amount from $150,000,000 to
$300,000,000 on February 6, 2015.

Borrowings of Alpine are considered borrowings of the Company for purposes of
complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act, as amended, applicable to business development companies.

Pursuant to a Sale and Contribution Agreement entered into between the Company and Alpine (the Sale Agreement) in connection
with the Alpine Credit Facility, the Company may sell loans or contribute cash or loans to Alpine from time to time and will retain a residual interest in any assets contributed through its ownership of Alpine or will receive fair market value for
any assets sold to Alpine. In certain circumstances the Company may be required to repurchase certain loans sold to Alpine. In addition to the acquisition of loans pursuant to the Sale Agreement, Alpine may purchase additional assets from various
sources. Alpine has appointed SIC Advisors to manage its portfolio of assets pursuant to the terms of a Portfolio Management Agreement between SIC Advisors and Alpine.

As of December 31, 2015, the carrying amount of the Companys borrowings under the Alpine Credit Facility approximated the fair value of the Companys debt obligation. The fair value of the
Companys debt obligation is determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under
current market conditions. The fair value of the Companys borrowings under the Alpine Credit Facility is estimated based upon market interest rates of the Companys borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for
nonperformance risk, if any. At December 31, 2015, the Alpine Credit Facility would be deemed to be Level 3, as defined in Note 4.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, $2,177,809 and $1,050,000, respectively, of financing costs related to the Alpine Credit Facility has been capitalized and is being amortized over the respective
terms. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $7,071,908 and $1,192,092 of interest and financing expenses related to the Alpine Credit Facility, of which $6,530,916 and $1,088,751 was attributable to interest and
$540,992 and $103,341 was attributable to amortization of deferred financing costs, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the Companys outstanding borrowing under the Alpine Credit Facility was $240,000,000. For the years ended
December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Companys weighted average outstanding debt balance and interest rate on the Alpine Credit Facility was $182,974,180 and 3.5% and $34,730,769 and 1.6%, respectively.

Note 7. Agreements

Investment
Advisory Agreement

On April 5, 2012, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement (IAA) with
SIC Advisors to manage the Companys investment activities. The IAA became effective as of April 17, 2012, the date that the Company met its minimum offering requirement. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the initial term of the IAA was for two
years from its effective date, with one-year renewals subject to approval by the Companys board of directors, a majority of whom must be independent directors. On March 2, 2016, the Companys board of directors approved the renewal of the
IAA for an additional one-year term at an in-person meeting. Pursuant to the IAA, SIC Advisors implements the Companys business strategy on a day-to-day basis and performs certain services for the Company, subject to oversight by the
Companys board of directors. SIC Advisors is responsible for, among other duties, determining investment criteria, sourcing, analyzing and executing investment transactions, asset sales, financings and performing asset management duties. Under
the IAA, the Company has agreed to pay SIC Advisors a management fee for investment advisory and management services consisting of a base management fee and an incentive fee.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Companys gross assets payable quarterly in arrears. For purposes of calculating the base management fee, the term gross
assets includes any assets acquired with the proceeds of leverage. Gross assets also includes any cash collateral posted with respect



F-52

##### Table of Contents

to the TRS, adjusted for realized and unrealized appreciation. For the first quarter of the Companys 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 gross assets at the end of each completed calendar quarter. Base management fees for any partial quarter are appropriately prorated. For the years ended
December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company recorded an expense for base management fees of $17,234,293, $8,976,657, and $1,906,386, respectively, of which $4,686,096 and $3,271,387 were payable at December 31, 2015 and 2014,
respectively.

The incentive fee consists of the following two parts:

An incentive fee on net investment income (Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income) is calculated and payable quarterly in
arrears and is based upon pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. No Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income is payable in any calendar quarter in which pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed a
quarterly return to stockholders of 1.75% per quarter on the Companys net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (the Preferred Quarterly Return). All pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any,
that exceeds the Preferred Quarterly Return, but is less than or equal to 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter in any quarter, will be payable to SIC Advisors. The Company refers to this portion of its
Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income as the Catch Up. It is intended to provide an incentive fee of 20% on pre-incentive fee net investment income when pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of net assets at the end of
the immediately preceding quarter in any quarter. For any quarter in which the Companys pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.1875% of net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, the Subordinated Incentive Fee on
Income shall equal 20% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income, because the Preferred Quarterly Return and Catch Up will have been achieved. There is no incentive fee on net investment income earned on the TRS.

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 the Company recorded a Subordinated Incentive Fee on Income of $4,434,352,
$(183,617) and $182,989, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded an incentive fee on net income payable of $1,795,268 and $0, respectively.

A capital gains incentive fee will be earned on realized investments and shall be payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year during which the IAA is in effect. If the IAA is terminated, the
fee will also become payable as of the effective date of such termination. The fee equals 20% of the realized capital gains, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. The incentive fee on capital gains is equal
to realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis.

Under GAAP the Company calculates capital gains incentive fees as if the Company had realized all assets at their fair values and liabilities at their settlement amounts as of the reporting date. GAAP
requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual assume the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation is realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not payable under the IAA. Accordingly, the Company accrues a
provisional capital gains incentive fee taking into account any unrealized gains or losses. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future and that the provisional capital gains incentive fee will
become payable.

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company recorded a capital gains incentive
fee of $0, $0 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded a capital gains incentive fee payable of $0 and $0, respectively.

Prior to June 2, 2014, SIC Advisors bore all organizational and offering expenses, as defined in the IAA, on behalf of the Company until the Companys gross proceeds in connection with the sale
of its common stock exceeded $300,000,000. Beginning June 2, 2014, the Company is responsible for all ongoing organization and offering expenses.

##### Table of Contents

Pursuant to the terms of the IAA, the Company has agreed to reimburse SIC Advisors for any
such organizational and offering expenses incurred by SIC Advisors (O&O Reimbursable Expenses) prior to June 2, 2014 not to exceed 1.25% of the gross subscriptions raised by the Company over the course of the offering period,
which is currently scheduled to terminate April 17, 2017, unless further extended.

In the event that other
organizational and offering expenses exceed 5.25% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the Companys common stock pursuant to its public offering or one or more private offerings at the time of the completion of the offering or
other organizational and offering expenses, together with selling commissions, dealer manager fees and any discounts paid to members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of the
Companys common stock pursuant to its public offering or one or more private offerings at the time of the completion of the offering, then SIC Advisors shall be required to pay without reimbursement from the Company, or, if already paid by the
Company, reimburse the Company, for amounts exceeding such 5.25% and 15% limit, as appropriate.

As of February 2015, SIC
Advisors has been fully reimbursed for all O&O Reimbursable Expenses from inception to date, which totaled $5,602,303. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, SIC Advisors incurred O&O Reimbursable Expenses of $0,
$1,880,248 and $1,066,517, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 the Company reimbursed SIC Advisors $443,687, $4,640,250 and $1,761,943, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, $0 and $73,799 have
been accrued related to O&O Expenses to be reimbursed to SIC Advisors and are reflected in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as a component of due to affiliate, respectively.

Administration Agreement

On April 5, 2012, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the Administration Agreement) with Medley Capital
LLC, pursuant to which Medley Capital LLC furnishes the Company with administrative services necessary to conduct its day-to-day operations. On February 28, 2013, Medley Capital LLC entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with State Street
Bank Global Fund Accounting and Custody to perform certain financial, accounting, administrative and other services on behalf of the Company. On March 2, 2016, the Companys board of directors approved the renewal of the Administration
Agreement for an additional one-year term at an in-person meeting. Medley Capital LLC is reimbursed for administrative expenses it incurs on the Companys behalf in performing its obligations. Such costs are reasonably allocated to the Company
on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other reasonable methods. The Company does not reimburse Medley Capital LLC for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other
administrative items allocated to a controlling person of Medley Capital LLC. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 the Company recorded an expense of $2,261,789, $1,300,971, and $592,585 relating to administrator expenses. As

Expense Support
and Reimbursement Agreement

On June 29, 2012, the Company entered into an Expense Support and Reimbursement Agreement
(the Expense Support Agreement) with SIC Advisors. Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, SIC Advisors has agreed to reimburse the Company for operating expenses in an amount equal to the difference between distributions paid to the
Companys stockholders in each month, less the sum of the Companys net investment income, the Companys net realized capital gains and dividends paid to the Company from its portfolio companies during such period (Expense
Support Reimbursement). To the extent that no dividends or other distributions are paid to the Companys stockholders in any given month, then the Expense Support Reimbursement for such month shall be equal to such amount necessary in
order for Available Operating Funds for the month to equal zero. The terms of the Expense Support Agreement commenced as of the date that the Companys registration statement was declared effective by the SEC and continued monthly thereafter
until December 31, 2012.

Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Company has a conditional obligation to
reimburse SIC Advisors for any amounts funded by SIC Advisors under the Expense Support Agreement if, and only to the extent that, during any fiscal quarter occurring within three years of the date on which SIC Advisors incurred a liability for such
amount, the sum of the Companys net investment income, the Companys net capital gains and the amount of any dividends and other distributions paid to the Company from its portfolio companies, to the extent not included in net investment
income or net capital gains for tax purposes, exceeds the distributions paid by the Company to stockholders. The purpose of the Expense Support Agreement is to avoid such distributions being characterized as returns of capital for GAAP purposes, to
the extent possible, and to reduce operating expenses until the Company has raised sufficient capital to be able to absorb such expenses.

Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Company will reimburse SIC Advisors for expense support payments it previously made following any calendar quarter in which the Company received net
investment income, net capital gains and dividends from its portfolio companies in excess of the distributions paid to the Companys stockholders during such calendar quarter (the Excess Operating Funds). Any such reimbursement will
be made within three years of the date that the expense support payment obligation was incurred by SIC Advisors, subject to the conditions described below. The amount of the reimbursement during any calendar quarter will equal the lesser of
(i) the Excess Operating Funds received during the quarter and (ii) the aggregate amount of all expense payments made by SIC Advisors that have not yet been reimbursed. In addition, the Company will only make reimbursement payments if its
operating expense ratio (as described in footnote 1 to the table below) is equal to or less than its operating expense ratio at the time the corresponding expense payment was incurred and if the annualized rate of its regular cash
distributions to the Companys stockholders is equal to or greater than the annualized rate of the Companys regular cash distributions to stockholders at the time the corresponding expense payment was incurred.

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 the Company recorded net Expense Support Reimbursements of $6,283,327,
$5,222,096, and $3,939,251, respect the consolidated statements of operations and gross Expense Support Reimbursements of $8,744,627 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Repayments of amounts paid by SIC Advisors to the Company under the
Expense Support Agreement will be accrued as they become probable and estimable. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $7,314,867 and $6,995,930, respectively, in its consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as due
from affiliate relating to the Expense Support Agreement. The Company refers to Expense Support Reimbursements that are eligible for reimbursement to SIC Advisors by virtue of having satisfied the conditions described above as a Crystalized
Reimbursement. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $2,461,300 and $1,623,963, respectively, of Crystalized Reimbursements, of which $1,765,768 and $-0- was paid to the Company, and $695,533 and $1,623,963 was included
in Due to Affiliate on the respective consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the total amounts eligible for reimbursement of the Company to SIC Advisors net of Crystalized Reimbursements was
$16,824,125 and $10,540,799, respectively.

affiliated funds until it obtained an exemptive order from the SEC on November 25, 2013 (the Exemptive Order). The Exemptive Order permits the Company to participate in
negotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates, each of whose investment adviser is Medley LLC, the parent company of SIC Advisors, or an investment adviser controlled by Medley LLC, in a manner consistent with its investment
objective, strategies and restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. Co-investment under the Exemptive Order is subject to certain conditions therein, including the condition that, in the case of each co-investment
transaction, the Companys board of directors determines that it would be advantageous for the Company to co-invest in a manner described in the Exemptive Order. Before receiving the Exemptive Order, the Company only participated in
co-investments that were allowed under existing regulatory guidance, such as syndicated loan transactions where price was the only negotiated term, which limited the types of investments that the Company could make. Please see Note 4 to the
consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 for disclosures regarding securities also held by affiliated funds.

Note 13. Distributions and Share Repurchase Plan Distributions

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by
the Companys board of directors.

The Company has adopted an opt in distribution reinvestment plan
(DRIP) pursuant to which the Companys common stockholders may elect to have the full amount of any cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Companys common stock. As a result, if the Company declares a cash
dividend or other distribution, each stockholder that has opted in to the Companys reinvestment plan will have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Companys common stock rather than
receiving cash distributions. Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions. For the year ended
December 31, 2015, the Company distributed a total of $56,804,630, of which, $29,576,900 was in cash and $27,227,730 was in the form of common shares associated with the DRIP. For the year ended December 31,

##### Table of Contents

The Companys distributions may be funded from offering proceeds or borrowings, which
may constitute a return of capital and reduce the amount of capital available to the Company for investment. Any capital returned to stockholders through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses.

The Companys previous distributions to stockholders may have been funded from temporary Expense Support Reimbursements that may be
subject to repayment to SIC Advisors, See Note 7. The portion of these distributions derived from temporary Expense Support Reimbursements were not based on the Companys investment performance and may not continue in the future. If SIC
Advisors had not agreed to make Expense Support Reimbursements, these distributions would have come from paid-in-capital. The reimbursement of these payments owed to SIC Advisors will reduce the future distributions to which stockholders would
otherwise be entitled.

The determination of the tax attributes (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gains
on the sale of securities, and/or a return of paid-in-capital surplus which is a nontaxable distribution) of distributions is made annually as of the end of the Companys fiscal year based upon its taxable income for the full year and
distributions paid for the full year.

Share Repurchase Program

In June 2013, the Company commenced a share repurchase program pursuant to which it intends to conduct quarterly share repurchases, of up
to 2.5% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in any 3-month period or 10% of the weighted average number of outstanding shares in any 12-month period. The purpose of the share repurchase program is to allow stockholders to sell their
shares back to the Company at a price equal to the most recently disclosed net asset value per share of the Companys common stock immediately prior to the date of repurchase. Shares will be purchased from stockholders participating in the
program on a pro rata basis. Unless the Companys board of directors determines otherwise, the number of shares to be repurchased during any calendar year will be limited to the proceeds received in association with the sale of shares of common
stock under the distribution reinvestment plan.

The following table reflects activity under the Companys Share
Repurchase Plan:

|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 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. 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 Exchange Act 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 Exchange Act 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

Our management 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, 2015. 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, 2015 based upon the criteria set forth in Internal Control  Integrated Framework (2013) 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, 2015.

(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have
been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
