This report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify
these statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as may, will, should, expect, anticipate, project, target, estimate, intend,
continue or believe or the negatives of, or other variations on, these terms or comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our plans, strategies, prospects and
expectations concerning our business, operating results, financial condition and other similar matters. We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our investors. Our forward-looking statements include information in

described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this report could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report speaks only as of the date of
this report. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. You are advised to consult any additional

registration statements on Form N-2, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Under
Section 21E(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to statements made in periodic

requires, the terms GS BDC, Company, we, us or our refer to Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, or, for periods prior to our conversion from a Delaware
limited liability company to a Delaware corporation (the Conversion), Goldman Sachs Liberty Harbor Capital, LLC. The terms GSAM, our Adviser or our Investment Adviser refer to Goldman Sachs Asset
Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. The term Group Inc. refers to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. The term Goldman Sachs refers to Group Inc., together with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (including its

|ITEM 1. | BUSINESS
|------- | --------

The Company

We are a
specialty finance company focused on lending to middle-market companies. We are a closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the Investment Company Act). In addition, we have elected to be treated, and expect to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. From our formation
in 2012 through December 31, 2019, we have originated more than $3.69 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt and equity investments prior to any subsequent exits and repayments. We seek to generate current income and, to a lesser
extent, capital appreciation primarily through direct originations of secured debt, including first lien, unitranche, including last-out portions of such loans, and second lien debt, and unsecured debt,
including mezzanine debt, as well as through select equity investments.

Unitranche loans are first lien loans
that may extend deeper in a companys capital structure than traditional first lien debt and may provide for a waterfall of cash flow priority between different lenders in the unitranche loan. In a number of instances, we may find another
lender to provide the first-out portion of such loan and retain the last-out portion of such loan, in which case, the first-out portion of the loan would generally receive priority with respect to payment of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder over the
last-out portion that we would continue to hold. In exchange for the greater risk of loss, the last-out portion generally earns a higher interest
rate than the first-out portion. We use the term mezzanine to refer to debt that ranks senior only to a borrowers equity securities and ranks junior in right of payment to all of
such borrowers other indebtedness. We may make multiple investments in the same portfolio company.

We invest
primarily in U.S. middle-market companies, which we believe are underserved by traditional providers of capital such as banks and the public debt markets. In describing our business, we generally use the term middle-market companies to
refer to companies with between $5 million and $200 million of annual earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding certain
one-time, and non-recurring items that are outside the operations of these companies. However, we may from time to time invest in larger or smaller companies. We
generate revenues primarily through receipt of interest income from the investments we hold. In addition, we generate income from various loan origination and other fees, dividends on direct equity investments and capital gains on the sales of
investments. Fees received from portfolio companies (directors fees, consulting fees, administrative fees, tax advisory fees and other similar compensation) are paid to us, unless, to the extent required by applicable law or exemptive relief
therefrom, we only receive our allocable portion of such fees when invested in the same portfolio company as another client account managed by our Investment Adviser (including Goldman Sachs Private Middle Market Credit LLC (GS PMMC), GS
MMLC and Goldman Sachs Private Middle Market Credit II LLC (GS PMMC II) collectively with other such client accounts managed by our Investment Adviser, the Accounts). The companies in which we invest use our capital for a
variety of purposes, including to support organic growth, fund acquisitions, make capital investments or refinance indebtedness.

The Merger

On December 9, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with GS MMLC, a
Delaware corporation, Evergreen Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of us (Merger Sub), and GSAM, a Delaware limited partnership and investment adviser to each of us and GS MMLC. The Merger Agreement
provides that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into GS MMLC, with GS MMLC continuing as the surviving company (the First Merger) and, immediately thereafter, GS
MMLC will merge with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving company (the Second Merger and, together with the First Merger, the Merger).

In the First Merger, each share of GS MMLC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the
First Merger (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) will be converted into 0.9939 shares of GS BDC common stock (the Exchange Ratio). The Exchange Ratio will only be adjusted if, between the date of the
Merger Agreement and the effective time of the First Merger, (i) either GS BDC or GS MMLC declares or pays an extraordinary dividend, or (ii) the respective outstanding shares of GS BDC common stock or GS MMLC common stock shall have been
increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities, in each case, as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or if a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities shall be declared with a record date within such period, other than shares
issued pursuant to GS BDCs distribution reinvestment plan, as permitted by the Merger Agreement. Any holder of GS MMLC common stock converted pursuant to the First Merger that would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share

Investment Strategy

Our
origination strategy focuses on leading the negotiation and structuring of the loans or securities in which we invest and holding the investments in our portfolio to maturity. In many cases we are the sole investor in the loan or security in our
portfolio. Where there are multiple investors, we generally seek to control or obtain significant influence over the rights of investors in the loan or security. We generally seek to make investments that have maturities between three and ten years
and range in size between $10 million and $75 million, although we may make larger or smaller investments on occasion.

Investment Portfolio

As of December 31, 2019, our portfolio (excluding our investment in a money market fund, if any, managed by an
affiliate of Group Inc.) consisted of the following:

| | (4) |  | For a particular portfolio company, we calculate the level of contractual indebtedness net of cash (net
debt) owed by the portfolio company and compare that amount to measures of cash flow available to service the net debt. To calculate net debt, we include debt that is both senior and pari passu to the tranche of debt owned by us but exclude
debt that is legally and contractually subordinated in ranking to the debt owned by us. We believe this calculation method assists in describing the risk of our portfolio investments, as it takes into consideration contractual rights of repayment of
the tranche of debt owned by us relative to other senior and junior creditors of a portfolio company. We typically calculate cash flow available for debt service at a portfolio company by taking EBITDA for the trailing twelve month period. Weighted
average net debt to EBITDA is weighted based on the fair value of our debt investments, excluding investments where net debt to EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are
underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.

| |  |  | For a particular portfolio company, we also calculate the level of contractual interest expense owed by the
portfolio company, and compare that amount to EBITDA (interest coverage ratio). We believe this calculation method assists in describing the risk of our portfolio investments, as it takes into consideration contractual interest
obligations of the portfolio company. Weighted average interest coverage is weighted based on the fair value of our performing debt investments, excluding investments where interest coverage may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as
cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.
| |  |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Median EBITDA is based on our debt investments, including our exposure to underlying debt investments in the
Senior Credit Fund and excluding investments where net debt to EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.
| |  |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Portfolio company statistics are derived from the most recently available financial statements of each
portfolio company as of the reported end date. Statistics of the portfolio companies have not been independently verified by us and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. As of December 31, 2019 investments where net debt to EBITDA may
not be the appropriate measure of credit risk represented 25.1% of total debt investmentsat fair value. Portfolio company statistics are derived from the most recently available financial statements of each portfolio company as of the respective
reported end date. Portfolio company statistics have not been independently verified by us and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount.

Floating rates are primarily London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread.

Corporate Structure

We were formed as a private fund in September 2012 and commenced operations in November 2012, using seed capital contributions
we received from Group Inc. In March 2013, we elected to be treated as a BDC. We have elected to be treated, and expect to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. On
March 18, 2015, our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol GSBD. On March 23, 2015, we closed our initial public offering (IPO), issuing 6,000,000 shares of
common stock at a public offering price of $20.00 per share. Net of offering and underwriting costs, we received cash proceeds of $114.57 million. On April 21, 2015, we issued an additional 900,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to
the exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option in connection with the IPO. On May 24, 2017, we sold 3,250,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $22.50 per share. Net of underwriting costs and offering
expenses, we received cash proceeds of $69.65 million. On May 26, 2017, we issued an additional 487,500 shares of our common stock pursuant to the underwriters exercise of the option to purchase additional shares that we granted in
connection with the May 24, 2017 sale of our common stock. Net of underwriting costs, we received additional cash proceeds of $10.64 million. As a result of the Conversion, subsequent share repurchases, the IPO and the follow-on equity offering completed in May 2017, as of December 31, 2019, Group Inc. owned 16.06% of our common stock.

Our Investment Adviser

GSAM serves as our Investment Adviser and has been registered as an investment adviser with the SEC since 1990. Subject to the
supervision of our Board of Directors, a majority of which is made up of independent directors (including an independent Chairman), GSAM manages our day-to-day
operations and provides us with investment advisory and management services and certain administrative services.

GSAM is
a subsidiary of Group Inc., a public company that is a bank holding company (a BHC), financial holding company (a FHC) and a world-wide, full-service financial services organization. Group Inc. is the general partner and
owner of GSAM. GSAM has been providing financial solutions for investors since 1988 and had over $1.7 trillion of assets under supervision as of December 31, 2019.

The GSAM Private Credit Group

The Private Credit Group of GSAM (the GSAM Private Credit Group) is responsible for identifying investment
opportunities, conducting research and due diligence on prospective investments, negotiating and structuring our investments and monitoring and servicing our investments. The GSAM Private Credit Group was comprised of 25 investment professionals, as
of December 31, 2019, all of whom are dedicated to the our investment strategy and other funds that share a similar investment strategy with the Company. The GSAM Private Credit Group sits with a broader team known as the GSAM Credit
Alternatives Team which has additional responsibilities other than those relating to the us. In addition, GSAM has risk management, legal, accounting, tax, information technology and compliance personnel, among others, who provide services to
us. We benefit from the expertise provided by these personnel in our operations.

The GSAM Private Credit Group is
dedicated primarily to private corporate credit investment opportunities in North America and utilizes a bottom-up, fundamental research approach to lending. The senior members of the GSAM Private Credit Group
have been working together since 2006 and have an average of over 15 years of experience in leveraged finance and private transactions.

All investment decisions are made by the investment committee of GSAMs Private Credit Group (the Investment
Committee), which currently consists of five voting members: Brendan McGovern, Jon Yoder, David Yu, Jordan Walter and Michael Mastropaolo, as well as three non-voting members with operational and/or
legal expertise. For biographical information about the voting members of the Investment Committee, see Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate GovernanceBiographical Information. The Investment Committee is
responsible for approving all of our investments. The Investment Committee also monitors investments in our portfolio and approves all asset dispositions. We expect to benefit from the extensive and varied relevant experience of the investment
professionals serving on the Investment Committee, which includes expertise in privately originated and publicly traded leveraged credit, stressed and distressed debt, bankruptcy, mergers and acquisitions and private equity. The voting members of
the Investment Committee collectively have over 50 years of experience in middle-market investment and activities related to middle-market investing. The membership of the Investment Committee may change from time to time.

Allocation of Opportunities

Our investment objectives and investment strategies are similar to those of other client accounts managed by our Investment
Adviser (including GS PMMC, GS MMLC and GS PMMC II), and an investment appropriate for us may also be appropriate for those Accounts. This creates potential conflicts in allocating investment opportunities among us and such other Accounts,
particularly in circumstances where the availability of such investment opportunities is limited, where the liquidity of such investment opportunities is limited or where co-investments by us and other
Accounts are not permitted under applicable law.

We are prohibited under the Investment Company Act from participating in
certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of our independent directors (Independent Directors) and, in some cases, of the SEC. Any person that owns, directly or indirectly, five percent or more of our
outstanding voting securities is our affiliate for purposes of the Investment Company Act, and we are generally prohibited from buying or selling any assets from or to, or entering into certain joint transactions (which could include
investments in the same portfolio company) with such affiliates, absent the prior approval of the Independent Directors. Our Investment Adviser and its affiliates, including persons that control, or are under common control with, us or our
Investment Adviser, are also considered our affiliates under the Investment Company Act, and we are generally prohibited from buying or selling any assets from or to, or entering into joint transactions with, such affiliates without
exemptive relief from the SEC.

Subject to applicable law, we may invest alongside Goldman Sachs and its
Accounts. In certain circumstances, negotiated co-investments by us and other Accounts may be made only pursuant to an order from the SEC permitting us to do so. Together with our Investment Adviser, GS PMMC,
GS MMLC and GS PMMC II, we applied for and received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits us to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates (including GS PMMC, GS MMLC
and GS PMMC II), each of whose investment adviser is GSAM. After the date of the exemptive order, co-investments may be made subject to certain conditions, including that
co-investments are made in a manner consistent with our investment objectives, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements and pursuant to the conditions required by
the exemptive relief and the co-investments are allocated fairly among participants. As a result of such order, there could be significant overlap in our investment portfolio and the investment portfolios of
GS PMMC, GS MMLC, GS PMMC II and/or other funds managed by our Investment Adviser. If our Investment Adviser identifies an investment and we are unable to rely on our exemptive relief for that particular opportunity, our Investment Adviser will be
required to determine which Accounts should make the investment at the potential exclusion of other Accounts. In such circumstances, the Investment Adviser will adhere to its investment allocation policy in order to determine the Account to which to
allocate the opportunity. The policy provides that our Investment Adviser allocate opportunities through a rotation system or in such other manner as our Investment Adviser determines to be equitable. Accordingly, it is possible that we may not be
given the opportunity to participate in investments made by other Accounts.

We may also invest alongside other Accounts
advised by our Investment Adviser and its affiliates in certain circumstances where doing so is consistent with applicable law and SEC staff guidance and interpretations. For example, we may invest alongside such Accounts consistent with guidance
promulgated by the staff of the SEC 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 its other clients, negotiates no term other than price. We may also invest alongside our Investment Advisers other clients as otherwise permissible under SEC staff guidance and interpretations, applicable regulations and the
allocation policy of our Investment Adviser.

To address these potential conflicts, our Investment Adviser has developed
allocation policies and procedures that provide that personnel of our Investment Adviser making portfolio decisions for Accounts will make purchase and sale decisions and allocate investment opportunities among Accounts consistent with its fiduciary
obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these policies and procedures may result in the pro rata allocation of limited opportunities across eligible Accounts managed by a particular portfolio management team, but in many other cases
the allocations reflect numerous other factors as described below. Accounts managed outside of the GSAM Private Credit Group are generally viewed separately for allocation purposes. There will be cases where certain Accounts receive an allocation of
an investment opportunity when we do not and vice versa.

In some cases, due to information barriers that are in place,
other Accounts may compete with us for specific investment opportunities without being aware that we are competing against each other. Goldman Sachs has a conflicts system in place above these information barriers to identify potential conflicts
early in the process and determine if an allocation decision needs to be made. If the conflicts system detects a potential conflict, the legal and compliance departments of Goldman Sachs assess investment opportunities to determine whether a
particular investment opportunity is required to be allocated to a particular Account (including us) or is prohibited from being allocated to a particular Account. Subject to a determination by the legal and compliance departments (if applicable),
portfolio management teams are then charged with ensuring that investment opportunities are allocated to the appropriate Account.

Personnel of our Investment Adviser involved in decision-making for Accounts may make allocation related decisions for us and
other Accounts by reference to one or more factors, including: the Accounts portfolio and its investment horizons, objectives, guidelines and restrictions (including legal and regulatory restrictions); strategic fit and other portfolio
management considerations, including different desired levels of investment for different strategies; the expected future capacity of the applicable Accounts; limits on our Investment Advisers brokerage discretion; cash and liquidity
considerations; and the availability of other appropriate investment opportunities. Suitability considerations, reputational matters and other considerations may also be considered. The application of these considerations may cause differences in
the performance of different Accounts that have similar strategies. In addition, in some cases our Investment Adviser may make investment recommendations to Accounts where the Accounts make the investment independently of our Investment Adviser,
which may result in a reduction in the availability of the investment opportunity for other Accounts (including us) irrespective of our Investment Advisers policies regarding allocation of investments. Additional information about our
Investment Advisers allocation policies is set forth in Item 6 (Performance-based Fees and Side-by-Side ManagementSide-by-Side Management of Advisory Accounts; Allocation of Opportunities) of our Investment Advisers Form ADV.

Our Investment Adviser, including the GSAM Credit Alternatives Team, may, from time to time, develop and implement new trading
strategies or seek to participate in new investment opportunities and trading strategies. These opportunities and strategies may not be employed in all Accounts or may be employed pro rata among Accounts, even if the opportunity or strategy is
consistent with the objectives of such Accounts.

During periods of unusual market conditions, our Investment Adviser may
deviate from its normal trade allocation practices. For example, this may occur with respect to the management of unlevered and/or long-only Accounts that are typically managed on a
side-by-side basis with levered and/or long-short Accounts.

We may or may not receive opportunities referred by Goldman Sachs businesses
and affiliates, but in no event do we have any rights with respect to such opportunities. Subject to applicable law, including the Investment Company Act, such opportunities or any portion thereof may be offered to other Accounts, Goldman Sachs, all
or certain investors in us, or such other persons or entities as determined by Goldman Sachs in its sole discretion. We will have no rights and will not receive any compensation related to such opportunities. Certain of such opportunities may be
referred to us by employees or other personnel of GS & Co., or by third-parties. If we invest in any such opportunities, GS & Co. or such third-parties may be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including the
limitations set forth in Section 57(k) of the 1940 Act, to compensation from us or from the borrowers in connection with such investments. Any compensation we pay in connection with such referrals will be an operating expense and will
accordingly be borne by us (and will not serve to offset any Management Fee or Incentive Fee payable to the Investment Adviser).

In connection with certain of our investments, following our Investment Advisers determination that the appropriate
portion of an applicable investment opportunity has been offered to us and other Accounts in accordance with the Investment Advisers allocation policy and applicable legal requirements, including the Investment Company Act and, if applicable,
the terms of the SEC exemptive order on co-investments disclosed herein (collectively, Applicable Law), we and/or our Investment Adviser may have the opportunity to offer all or a portion of the
excess amounts of such investment opportunity to other persons or entities. These opportunities include, for example, where our Investment Adviser has determined that while it is in our best interests to acquire the full amount of an investment
available to it if the alternative is to not make the investment at all, it is further in our best interests of, due to diversification, portfolio management, leverage management, investment profile, risk tolerance or other exposure guidelines or
limitations, cash flow or other considerations, for us to hold less economic exposure to the investment than such full amount. Subject to Applicable Law, such opportunities may be structured as an investment alongside us or as a purchase of a
portion of the investment from us (through a syndication, participation or otherwise).

In all cases, subject to
Applicable Law, our Investment Adviser has broad discretion in determining to whom and in what relative amounts to offer such opportunities, and factors our Investment Adviser may take into account, in its sole discretion, include whether such
potential recipient is able to assist or provide a benefit to us in connection with the potential transaction or otherwise, whether our Investment Adviser believes the potential recipient is able to execute a transaction quickly, whether the
potential recipient is expected to provide expertise or other advantages in connection with a particular investment, whether our Investment Adviser is aware of such potential recipients expertise or interest in these types of opportunities
generally or in a subset of such opportunities or, the potential recipients target investment sizing. Recipients of these opportunities may, in accordance with Applicable Law, include one or more investors in us, one or more investors in other
funds managed by the GSAM Credit Alternatives Team, clients or potential clients of Goldman Sachs, or funds or accounts established for any such persons. These opportunities may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. These opportunities will
be offered to the recipients thereof on such terms as our Investment Adviser determines in its sole discretion, subject to Applicable Law, including on a no-fee basis or at prices higher or lower than those
paid by us. As a result of these and other reasons, returns with respect to an opportunity may exceed investors returns with respect to our investment in the same opportunity.

For a further explanation of the allocation of opportunities and other conflicts and the risks related thereto, please see
Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Business and StructurePotential conflicts of interest with other businesses of Goldman Sachs could impact our investment returns.

Market Opportunity

The
GSAM Private Credit Group believes there is an attractive investment opportunity to invest in U.S. middle-market companies. Specifically:



| |  |  | The middle-market represents a large target market opportunity. According to the National Center for
the Middle Market and the CIA World Factbook, the U.S. middle market is comprised of approximately 200,000 companies that represent approximately 33% of the private sector gross domestic product, employing approximately 47.9 million people.1 The GSAM Private Credit Group believes that there is an attractive investment environment for GSBD to provide loans to U.S. middle market companies.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | There have been secular changes in ownership structures of middle-market companies. The GSAM Private
Credit Group has observed a transformation in the ownership structures of private and public companies. The number of U.S. private-equity companies is at its highest level since 2000. Conversely, the number of listed U.S. domestic companies has
dramatically declined over the same time period, yet the average market capitalization of listed U.S. companies has grown. The GSAM Private Credit Group believes that this has resulted in a shift in the ownership of middle-market companies and thus
creating a larger market opportunity for us to provide debt capital to the companies that we expect to target.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | There is a large amount of un-invested private equity capital for
middle-market companies. There is a large amount of un-invested private equity capital for North America buyout funds. The GSAM Private Credit Group believes this creates additional capacity for us as the
GSAM Private Credit Group expects private equity firms will seek to leverage their investments by combining equity capital with debt capital.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in business strategy by banks have further reduced the supply of capital to middle-market
companies. The trend of consolidation of regional banks into money center banks has reduced the focus of these businesses on middle-market lending. Money center banks traditionally focus on lending and providing other services to large corporate
clients to whom they can deploy larger amounts of capital more efficiently. The GSAM Private Credit Group believes that this has resulted in fewer bank lenders to U.S. middle-market companies and reduced the availability of debt capital to the
companies that we expect to target.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|1 | Estimate for 2019 by the National Center for the Middle Market, which defined middle market as companies
with annual revenue of $10 million$1 billion. See http://www.middlemarketcenter.org (relying on data from the CIA World Factbook, available at
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/).

| |  |  | The capital markets have been unable to fill the void in middle-market finance left by banks. While
underwritten bond and syndicated loan markets have been robust in recent years, middle-market companies are rarely able to access these markets as participants are generally highly focused on the liquidity characteristics of the bond or loan being
issued. For example, mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs) are significant buyers of underwritten bonds and broadly syndicated loans. However, mutual funds and ETFs generally require the ability to liquidate their investments
quickly in order to fund investor redemptions. Accordingly, the existence of an active secondary market for their investments is an important consideration in the initial investment decision. Because there is typically no active secondary market for
the debt of U.S. middle-market companies, mutual funds and ETFs generally do not provide capital to U.S. middle-market companies. The GSAM Private Credit Group believes that this is likely to be a persistent problem for the capital markets and
creates an advantage for investors like us who have a more stable capital base and can therefore invest in illiquid assets.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | It is difficult for new lending platforms to enter the middle market and fill the capital void because it
is very fragmented. While the middle market is a very large component of the U.S. economy, it is a highly fragmented space with thousands of companies operating in many different geographies and industries. Typically, companies that need capital
find lenders and investors based on pre-existing relationships, referrals and word of mouth. Developing the many relationships and wide-spread recognition required to become source of capital to the middle
market is a time consuming, highly resource-intensive endeavor. As a result, the GSAM Private Credit Group believes that it is difficult for new lending platforms to successfully enter the middle market, thereby providing insulation from rapid
shifts in the supply of capital to the middle market that might otherwise disrupt pricing of capital.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Competitive Advantages

The Goldman Sachs Platform: Group Inc. is a leading global financial institution that provides a wide range of
financial services to a substantial and diversified client base, including companies and high net worth individuals, among others. The firm is headquartered in New York, and maintains offices across the United States and in all major financial
centers around the world. Group Inc.s asset management subsidiary, GSAM, is one of the worlds leading investment managers with over 698 investment professionals and approximately $1.7 trillion in assets under supervision as of
December 31, 2019.2 GSAMs investment teams, including the GSAM Private Credit Group, capitalize on the relationships, market insights, risk management expertise, technology and
infrastructure of Goldman Sachs. The GSAM Private Credit Group believes the Goldman Sachs platform delivers a meaningful competitive advantage in the following ways:



| |  |  | Origination of Investment Opportunities:Goldman Sachs has a preeminent network of relationships and
the ability to provide valued intellectual, as well as financial, capital to middle-market borrowers which the GSAM Private Credit Group believes significantly enhances its origination capability. The GSAM Private Credit Group believes that many
borrowers prefer to do business with Goldman Sachs and its advised funds because of its ability to offer further services to middle-market companies as they grow in their life cycle, including financial advice, acquisition opportunities and capital
markets expertise. The GSAM Private Credit Group is also able to leverage the Goldman Sachs platform to provide borrowers with access to Goldman Sachs broad client network, which can be utilized to find new customers and partners as they seek
to grow and execute their strategic plans.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Evaluation of Investment Opportunities: The GSAM Private Credit Group is comprised of seasoned
professionals with significant private credit investing experience. The team draws on a diverse array of skill sets, spanning fundamental credit and portfolio management, as well as legal and transactional structuring expertise. The GSAM Private
Credit Group is trained in, and utilizes, proprietary investment practices and procedures developed over many decades by Goldman Sachs, including those related to performing due diligence on prospective portfolio investments and reviewing the
backgrounds of potential partners. Further, Goldman Sachs is an active participant in a wide array of industries, both in service to clients operating in many different industries and acting as a principal or customer in such industries.
Accordingly, Goldman Sachs houses a tremendous amount of industry knowledge and experience. Subject to internal information barriers and related limitations, the GSAM Private Credit Group is able to draw upon these industry insights and expertise as
it evaluates investment opportunities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Risk Monitoring of Investments: The GSAM Private Credit Group has significant processes and procedures
in place, including proprietary information technology systems, to monitor and evaluate the performance of its investments at the asset level. In addition, the GSAM Private Credit Group benefits from Goldman Sachs extensive risk management
capabilities, which have been developed and honed over many investment cycles. The GSAM Private Credit Groups portfolio is regularly reviewed and stressed under various scenarios by senior risk management personnel within Goldman Sachs. These
scenarios are drawn from the expertise developed by Goldman Sachs for its own balance sheet. This risk monitoring is designed to minimize the risk of capital loss and maintain an investment portfolio that is expected to perform in a broad range of
economic conditions.

Operating and Regulatory Structure

We have elected to be treated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act. As a BDC, we are generally prohibited from acquiring
assets other than qualifying assets unless, after giving effect to any acquisition, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets. Qualifying assets generally include securities of eligible portfolio companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S.
government securities and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment. Under the rules of the Investment Company Act, eligible portfolio companies include (i) private U.S. operating
companies, (ii) public U.S. operating companies whose securities are not listed on a national securities exchange (e.g., the NYSE) or registered under the Exchange Act, and (iii) public U.S. operating companies having a market
capitalization of less than $250 million. Public U.S. operating companies whose securities are quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board and through OTC Markets
Group Inc. are not listed on a national securities exchange and therefore are eligible portfolio companies.

We have
elected to be treated, and expect to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As a RIC, we generally will not be required to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income
taxes on any net ordinary income or capital gains that we timely distribute to our stockholders as dividends if we meet certain source of income, distribution and asset diversification requirements. We intend to timely distribute to our stockholders
substantially all of our annual taxable income for each year, except that we may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and we may choose to carry forward taxable income for distribution in the following year and pay any applicable tax.
In addition, the distributions we pay to our stockholders in a year may exceed our net ordinary income and capital gains for that year and, accordingly, a portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. See Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity SecuritiesDistributions.

Investments

We seek to
create a portfolio that includes primarily direct originations of secured debt, including first lien, unitranche, including last-out portions of such loans, and second lien debt, and unsecured debt, including
mezzanine debt, as well as through select equity investments. We expect to make investments through both primary originations and open-market secondary purchases. We currently do not limit our focus to any specific industry. If we are successful in
achieving our investment objective, we believe that we will be able to provide our stockholders with consistent dividend distributions and attractive risk adjusted total returns.

As of December 31, 2019, our portfolio (which term does not include our investment in a money market fund managed by an
affiliate of Group Inc.) on a fair value basis, was comprised of approximately 92.8% secured debt investments (76.7% in first lien debt (including 2.4% in first lien/last-out unitranche loans) and 16.1% in
second lien debt), 0.5% in unsecured debt investments, 3.4% in preferred stock and 3.3% in common stock. We expect that our portfolio will continue to include secured debt, including first lien, unitranche, including
last-out portions of such loans, and second lien debt, unsecured debt (including mezzanine debt) and, to a lesser extent, equities. In addition to investments in U.S. middle-market companies, we may invest a
portion of our capital in opportunistic investments, such as in large U.S. companies, foreign companies, stressed or distressed debt, structured products or private equity. Such investments are intended to enhance our risk adjusted returns to
stockholders, and the proportion of these types of investments will change over time given our views on, among other things, the economic and credit environment in which we are operating, although these types of investments generally will constitute
less than 30% of our total assets.

In the future, we may also securitize a portion of our investments in any or all of
our assets. We expect that our primary use of funds will be to make investments in portfolio companies, distribute cash to holders of our common stock and pay our operating expenses, including debt service to the extent we borrow or issue senior
securities to fund our investments.

On January 4, 2017, the SEC granted GS PMMC, GS MMLC, GS PMMC II and us
exemptive relief to co-invest with other funds managed by the GSAM Credit Alternatives investment team in a manner consistent with our investment objectives, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as
well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. Additionally, if our Investment Adviser forms other funds in the future, we may co-invest on a concurrent basis with such other affiliates, subject
to compliance with the exemptive relief, applicable regulations and regulatory guidance, as well as applicable allocation procedures.

Investment
Criteria

We are committed to a value-oriented philosophy implemented by our Investment Adviser, which manages our
portfolio and seeks to minimize the risk of capital loss without foregoing the potential for capital appreciation. We have identified several criteria, discussed below, that GSAM believes are important in identifying and investing in prospective
portfolio companies.

These criteria provide general guidelines for our investment decisions. However, not all of these
criteria will be met by each prospective portfolio company in which we choose to invest. Generally, we seek to use our experience and access to market information to identify investment candidates and to structure investments quickly and
effectively.



| |  |  | Value orientation and positive cash flow. Our investment philosophy places a premium on fundamental
analysis and has a distinct value orientation. We focus on companies in which we can invest at relatively low multiples of operating cash flow and that are profitable at the time of investment on an operating cash flow basis. Typically, we do not
expect to invest in start-up companies or companies having speculative business plans.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



12



---



| |  |  | Experienced management and established financial sponsor relationships. We generally require that our
portfolio companies have an experienced management team. We also require the portfolio companies to have proper incentives in place to induce management to succeed and to act in concert with our interests as investors. In addition, we focus our
investments in companies backed by strong financial sponsors that have a history of creating value and with whom members of our Investment Adviser have an established relationship.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Strong and defensible competitive market position. We seek to invest in target companies that have
developed leading market positions within their respective markets and are well-positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities. We also seek companies that demonstrate significant competitive advantages versus their competitors, which should help
to protect their market position and profitability while enabling us to protect our principal and avoid capital losses.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Viable exit strategy. We seek to invest in companies that GSAM believes will provide a steady stream of
cash flow to repay our loans and reinvest in their respective businesses. We expect that such internally generated cash flow, leading to the payment of interest on, and the repayment of the principal of, our investments in portfolio companies to be
a key means by which we exit from our investments over time. In addition, we also seek to invest in companies whose business models and expected future cash flows offer attractive exit possibilities. These companies include candidates for strategic
acquisition by other industry participants and companies that may repay our investments through an initial public offering of common stock or other capital markets transactions.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Due diligence. Our Investment Adviser takes a bottom-up,
fundamental research approach to our potential investments. It believes it is critical to conduct extensive due diligence on investment targets and in evaluating new investments. Our Investment Adviser conducts a rigorous due diligence process that
is applied to prospective portfolio companies and draws from its experience, industry expertise and network of contacts. In conducting due diligence, our Investment Adviser uses information provided by companies, financial sponsors and publicly
available information as well as information from relationships with former and current management teams, consultants, competitors and investment bankers.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our due diligence typically includes:



| |  |  | review of historical and prospective financial information;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | review of the capital structure;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | analysis of the business and industry in which the company operates;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | interviews with management, employees, customers and vendors of the potential portfolio company;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | review of loan documents;
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | background checks; and
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | research relating to the portfolio companys management, industry, markets, products and services and
competitors.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upon the completion of due diligence and a decision to proceed with an investment in a
company, the team leading the investment presents the investment opportunity to our Investment Committee. This committee determines whether to pursue the potential investment. All new investments are required to be reviewed by the Investment
Committee. The members of the Investment Committee are employees of our Investment Adviser and they do not receive separate compensation from us or our Investment Adviser for serving on the Investment Committee.

Additional due diligence with respect to any investment may be conducted on our behalf (and at our expense) by attorneys prior
to the closing of the investment, as well as other outside advisers, as appropriate.

Investment Committee

All investment decisions are made by the Investment Committee which consists of five voting members, Brendan McGovern, Jon
Yoder, David Yu, Jordan Walter and Michael Mastropaolo, as well as three non-voting members with operational or legal expertise. Our Investment Committee is responsible for approving all of our investments.
Our Investment Committee also monitors investments in our portfolio and approves all asset dispositions. We expect to benefit from the extensive and varied relevant experience of the investment professionals serving on our Investment Committee,
which includes expertise in privately originated and publicly traded leveraged credit, stressed and distressed debt, bankruptcy, mergers and acquisitions and private equity.

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

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

Investment Structure

Once we determine that a prospective portfolio company is suitable for investment, we work with the management of that company
and its other capital providers, including senior, junior and equity capital providers, to structure an investment. We negotiate among these parties and use creative and flexible approaches to structure our investment relative to the other capital
in the portfolio companys capital structure.

We expect our secured debt to have terms of approximately three to ten
years. We generally obtain security interests in the assets of our portfolio companies that will serve as collateral in support of the repayment of this debt. This collateral may take the form of first or second priority liens on the assets of a
portfolio company.

We use the term mezzanine to refer to debt that ranks senior only to a borrowers
equity securities and ranks junior in right of payment to all of such borrowers other indebtedness. Mezzanine debt typically has interest-only payments in the early years, payable in cash or in-kind,
with amortization of principal deferred to the later years of the mezzanine debt. In some cases, we may enter into mezzanine debt that, by its terms, converts into equity (or is issued along with warrants for equity) or additional debt securities or
defers payments of interest for the first few years after our investment. Typically, our mezzanine debt investments have maturities of three to ten years.

We also invest in unitranche loans, which are loans that combine features of first-lien, second-lien and mezzanine debt,
generally in a first-lien position. In a number of instances, we may find another lender to provide the first-out portion of such loan and retain the
last-out portion of such loan, in which case, the first-out portion of the loan would generally receive priority with respect to payment of
principal, interest and other amounts due thereunder over the last-out portion that we would continue to hold.

In the case of our secured debt and unsecured debt, including mezzanine debt investments, we seek to tailor the terms of the
investments to the facts and circumstances of the transactions and the prospective portfolio companies, negotiating a structure that protects our rights and manages our risk while creating incentives for the portfolio companies to achieve their
business plan and improve their profitability. For example, in addition to seeking a senior position in the capital structure of our portfolio companies, we seek to limit the downside potential of our investments by:



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



| |  |  | incorporating put rights and call protection into the investment structure; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | negotiating covenants in connection with our investments that afford our portfolio companies as much
flexibility in managing their businesses as possible, consistent with preservation of our capital. Such restrictions may include affirmative and negative covenants, default penalties, lien protection, change of control provisions and board rights,
including either observation or participation rights. Our investments may include equity features, such as direct investments in the equity or convertible securities of portfolio companies or warrants or options to buy a minority interest in a
portfolio company. Any warrants we may receive with our debt securities generally require only a nominal cost to exercise, so as a portfolio company appreciates in value, we may achieve additional investment return from these equity investments. We
may structure the warrants to provide provisions protecting our rights as a minority-interest holder, as well as puts, or rights to sell such securities back to the company, upon the occurrence of specified events. In many cases, we may also obtain
registration rights in connection with these equity investments, which may include demand and piggyback registration rights.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We expect to hold most of our investments to maturity or repayment but may sell certain investments earlier if a liquidity
event takes place, such as the sale or refinancing of a portfolio company. We also may turn over our investments to better position the portfolio as market conditions change.

Ongoing relationships with portfolio companies

Monitoring

Our
Investment Adviser monitors our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. It monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company to determine if they are meeting their respective business plans and to assess the appropriate course of action for
each company. Our Investment Adviser has several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include the following:



| |  |  | assessment of success in adhering to the portfolio companys business plan and compliance with covenants;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | periodic or regular contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic
sponsor to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | comparisons to our other portfolio companies in the industry, if any;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | attendance at and participation in board meetings or presentations by portfolio companies; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | review of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections of portfolio companies.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



14



---



As part of the monitoring process, our Investment Adviser also employs an
investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, the Investment Adviser grades the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 4 no less frequently than quarterly. This system
is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (i.e., at the time of origination or acquisition), although it may also take into account under
certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio companys business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. The grading system is as follows:



| |  |  | investments with a grade of 1 involve the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk
factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a potential exit;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | investments with a grade of 2 involve a level of risk to our initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to
our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is generally performing as expected and the risk factors to our ability to ultimately recoup the cost of our investment are neutral to favorable. All
investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a grade of 2;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | investments with a grade of 3 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such
investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and non-compliance with debt covenants; however, payments are generally not
more than 120 days past due; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | investments with a grade of 4 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such
investment has substantially increased since origination or acquisition, and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. For debt investments with an investment grade of 4, in most cases, most or all of the debt covenants are
out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For investments graded 4, it is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our Investment Adviser grades the investments in our portfolio at least quarterly, and it is possible that the grade of a
portfolio investment may be reduced or increased over time. For investments graded 3 or 4, the Investment Adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company.

Managerial Assistance

As a BDC, we must offer, and must provide upon request, significant managerial assistance to certain of our eligible portfolio
companies within the meaning of Section 55 of the Investment Company Act. 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. Our Investment Adviser or an affiliate thereof may provide such managerial assistance on our behalf to portfolio companies that request such
assistance. We may receive fees for these services. See Managerial Assistance to Portfolio Companies.

Competition

Our primary competitors provide financing to middle-market companies and include other BDCs, commercial and investment banks,
commercial financing companies, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), private funds, including hedge funds, and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equity funds. Some of our existing and potential
competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. For example, some competitors may have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources that are not available to us.

In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to
consider a wider variety of investments and establish more relationships than us. Furthermore, many of our competitors are not subject to the regulatory restrictions that the Investment Company Act imposes on us as a BDC.

While we expect to use the industry information of GSAMs investment professionals to which we have access to assess
investment risks and determine appropriate pricing for our investments in portfolio companies, we do not seek to compete primarily based on the interest rates we offer and GSAM believes that some of our competitors may make loans with interest rates
that are comparable to or lower than the rates we offer. Rather, we compete with our competitors based on our reputation in the market, our existing investment platform, the seasoned investment professionals of our Investment Adviser, our experience
and focus on middle-market companies, our disciplined investment philosophy, our extensive industry focus and relationships and our flexible transaction structuring.

Staffing

We do not
currently have any employees. Our day-to-day operations are managed by our Investment Adviser. Our Investment Adviser has hired and expects to continue to hire
professionals with skills applicable to our business plan, including experience in middle-market investing, leveraged finance and capital markets.

Properties

We do not own
any real estate or other properties materially important to our operations. Our principal executive offices are located at 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282. We believe that our office facilities are suitable and adequate for our business as
it is contemplated to be conducted.

Legal Proceedings

We and our Investment Adviser are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, although we may, from time to time,
be involved in litigation arising out of operations in the normal course of business or otherwise.

Our Administrator

Pursuant to our Administration Agreement, our administrator is responsible for providing various accounting and administrative
services to us. Our administrator is entitled to fees as described in Administration Agreement. To the extent that our administrator outsources any of its functions, the administrator will pay any compensation associated with such
functions. See Administration Agreement.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan, pursuant to which we will reinvest all cash distributions declared by our Board
of Directors on behalf of investors who do not elect to receive their distributions in cash as provided below. As a result, if our Board of Directors declares a cash distribution, then our stockholders who have not elected (or have not previously
been deemed to have elected) to opt out of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock as described below. We intend to continue to pay quarterly
distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. Future quarterly distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. All future distributions will be subject to lawfully available funds therefor,
and no assurance can be given that we will be able to declare such distributions in future periods.

Each registered
stockholder may elect to have distributions distributed in cash rather than participate in the plan. For any registered stockholder that does not so elect, distributions on such stockholders shares will be reinvested by Computershare Trust
Company, N.A., as the plan agent, in additional shares. The number of shares to be issued to the stockholder will be determined based on the total dollar amount of the cash distribution payable, net of applicable withholding taxes. The plan agent
maintains all participants accounts in the plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts. Shares in the account of each participant are held by the plan agent on behalf of the participant in book entry form in the
plan agents name or the plan agents nominee. Those stockholders whose shares are held through a broker or other nominee may receive cash distributions in cash by notifying their broker or nominee of their election.

The shares are acquired by the plan agent for the participants accounts either through (i) newly issued shares or
(ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the open market. If, on the payment date for any distribution, the most recently computed net asset value (NAV) per share as of the dividend payment date is equal to or less than the closing
market price plus estimated per share fees (which include any applicable brokerage commissions the plan agent is required to pay) (such condition often referred to as a premium), the plan agent will invest the distribution amount in
newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to a participants account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution by the most recently computed NAV per share as
of the dividend payment date; provided that, if the most recently computed NAV per share as of the dividend payment date is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market price on the dividend payment date, the dollar amount of the distribution
will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per share on the dividend payment date. If on the dividend payment date, the most recently computed NAV per share as of that date is greater than the closing market price per share plus per share
fees (such condition referred to as a market discount), the plan agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants by purchasing shares on the open market. Such open market purchases will continue on
each successive business day until the entire dividend amount has been invested pursuant to open market purchases; provided, however, that if (a) the market discount shifts to a market premium, or (b) the open market purchases have not
been completed by the last business day before the next date on which the common stock trades on an ex-dividend basis or 30 days after the dividend payment date, whichever is sooner, the plan agent
will cease making open market purchases and will invest the entire uninvested portion of the dividend amount in newly issued common stock in the manner contemplated above.

Open-market purchases may be made on any securities exchange where shares are traded, in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions, and may be on such terms as to price, delivery and otherwise as the plan agent will determine. Shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan
agent will be allocated to a participant based on the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares purchased in the open market with respect to any such distribution. The number of shares of our common
stock to be outstanding after giving effect to payment of the distribution cannot be established until the value per share at which additional shares will be issued has been determined and elections of our stockholders have been tabulated.

If a participant elects by telephone, Internet, or written notice to the plan agent to have the plan agent sell all or a part
of his or her shares and remit the proceeds to the participant, the plan agent will process all sale instructions received no later than five business days after the date on which the order is received. Such sale will be made through the plan
agents broker on the relevant market and the sale price will not be determined until such time as the broker completes the sale. In each case, the price to each participant will be the weighted average sale price obtained by the plan
agents broker net of fees for each aggregate order placed by the plan agent and executed by the broker.

The plan
agents fees for the handling of the reinvestment of distributions will be paid by us. However, each participant will pay a per share fee (currently $0.05) incurred in connection with open market purchases. If a participant elects by telephone,
Internet, or written notice to the plan agent to have the plan agent sell all or a part of his or her shares and remit the proceeds to the participant, the plan agent is authorized to deduct a $15 sales fee per trade and a per share fee of $0.12
from such proceeds. All per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the plan agent is required to pay.

---



Participation in the plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or
resumed at any time without penalty. Participants may terminate their accounts under the plan by notifying the plan agent by telephone, Internet, or written notice prior to the distribution record date. Such termination will be effective immediately
if received by the plan agent prior to a distribution record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution. The plan agent seeks to process termination
notices received after the dividend record date but before the dividend payment date prior to such dividend payment date to the extent practicable but may in its sole discretion reinvest the participants dividends in common stock, as described
above. If such dividends are reinvested, the plan agent will process the late termination notice as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five business days after the reinvestment is completed.

A stockholder who does not opt out of the dividend reinvestment plan will generally be subject to the same U.S. federal, state
and local tax consequences as a stockholder who elects to receive its distributions in cash, and, for this purpose, a stockholder receiving a distribution in the form of additional shares will generally be treated as receiving a distribution in the
amount of cash that the stockholder would have received if it had elected to receive the distribution in cash. If we issue additional shares with a fair market value equal to or greater than net asset value, however, stockholders will be treated as
receiving a distribution in the amount of the fair market value of the distributed shares. Because a stockholder that participates in the dividend reinvestment plan will not actually receive any cash, such a stockholder will not have such cash
available to pay any applicable taxes on the deemed distribution. A stockholder that participates in the dividend reinvestment plan and thus is treated as having invested in additional shares of our stock will have a basis in such additional shares
of stock equal to the total dollar amount treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The stockholders holding period for such stock will commence on the day following the day on which the shares are credited to the
stockholders account. Stockholders that participate in the dividend reinvestment plan will receive tax information annually for their personal records and to help them prepare their federal income tax return. For further information as to tax
consequences of participation in the plan, participants should consult with their own tax advisors.

We reserve the right
to amend or terminate the plan upon notice in writing to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by us. There is no direct transaction fee to participants with regard to purchases in
the plan; however, we reserve the right to amend the plan to include a transaction fee payable by the participants. Notice will be sent to participants of any amendments as soon as practicable after such action by us.

All correspondence concerning the plan should be directed to the plan agent at Computershare Trust Company, N.A, P.O. Box
505000, Louisville, KY 40233, with overnight correspondence being directed to the plan agent at Computershare Trust Company, N.A, 462 South 4th Street, Suite 1600, Louisville, KY 40202; by calling 855-807-2742; or through the plan agents website at www.computershare.com/investor. Participants who hold their shares through a broker or other nominee should direct correspondence or questions
concerning the dividend reinvestment plan to their broker or nominee.

Management Agreements

Investment Management Agreement

We have entered into an investment management agreement (as amended and restated as of June 15, 2018, the Investment
Management Agreement) with the Investment Adviser, pursuant to which the Investment Adviser manages our investment program and related activities.

We are seeking shareholder approval of the amendment and restatement of the Investment Management Agreement between GSAM and
us (as amended, the New Investment Management Agreement). The New Investment Management Agreement would amend and restate the Investment Management Agreement in order to exclude any amounts resulting solely from the purchase accounting
for any premium or discount paid for the acquisition of assets in a merger, such as the premium to NAV to be paid for the shares of GS MMLC common stock in the Merger, from the calculation of the income incentive fee under such agreement. None of
the other material terms will change in the New Investment Management Agreement as compared to the Investment Management Agreement, including the services to be provided, the management fee and the capital gain incentive fee. If approved by our
stockholders, the New Investment Management Agreement would take effect upon, and be contingent on, the closing of the Merger.

Management Services

Pursuant to the terms of our Investment Management Agreement, GSAM, subject to the overall supervision of our Board of
Directors, manages our day-to-day investment-related operations and provides investment management services to us.

Subject to compliance with applicable law and published SEC guidance, nothing contained in the Investment Management Agreement
in any way precludes, restricts or limits the activities of our Investment Adviser or any of its respective subsidiaries or affiliated parties. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Business and StructureOur Investment
Adviser, its principals, investment professionals and employees and the members of its Investment Committee have certain conflicts of interest.

Management Fee

We pay the Investment Adviser a management fee (the Management Fee), which accrues and is payable quarterly in
arrears. The Management Fee (i) was calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% (0.375% per quarter) (the Original Rate) through June 14, 2018 and (ii) an annual rate of 1.00% (0.25% per quarter) (the New Rate)
thereafter, in each case, of the average value of our gross assets (excluding cash or cash equivalents (such as investments in money market funds) but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) at the end of each of the two most recently
completed calendar quarters. The Management Fee for any partial quarter (including any quarter during which both the Original Rate and the New Rate were in effect) will be appropriately prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to
the total number of days in such calendar quarter.



17



---



For the year ended December 31, 2019, Management Fees amounted to
$14.70 million. As of December 31, 2019, $3.65 million remained payable. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Management Fees amounted to $15.97 million.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee (the Incentive Fee) payable to our Investment Adviser consists of two components that are
determined independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not.

A
portion of the Incentive Fee is based on our income and a portion is based on our capital gains, each as described below. Our Investment Adviser is entitled to receive the Incentive Fee based on income from us if our Ordinary Income (as defined
below) exceeds a quarterly hurdle rate of 1.75%. For this purpose, the hurdle is computed by reference to our NAV and does not take into account changes in the market price of our common stock.

Beginning with the calendar quarter that commenced on January 1, 2015, the Incentive Fee based on income is determined
and paid quarterly in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter by reference to our aggregate net investment income, as adjusted as described below, from the calendar quarter then ending and the eleven preceding calendar quarters (or if shorter,
the number of quarters that have occurred since January 1, 2015) (such period, the Trailing Twelve Quarters). The Incentive Fee based on capital gains is determined and paid annually in arrears at the end of each calendar year by
reference to an Annual Period.

The hurdle amount for the Incentive Fee based on income is determined on a quarterly basis
and is equal to 1.75% multiplied by our NAV at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The hurdle amount is calculated after making appropriate adjustments for subscriptions (which includes
all issuances by us of shares of our common stock, including issuances pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan) and distributions that occurred during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The Incentive Fee for any partial period will be
appropriately prorated.

In connection with the Merger, GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its incentive fee for the
next five quarters, commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2019 and through and including the quarter ending December 31, 2020, otherwise payable by us under the Investment Management Agreement and, if the New Investment
Management Agreement is approved by our stockholders and adopted by us upon consummation of the Merger, the New Investment Management Agreement, for each such quarter in an amount sufficient to ensure that our net investment income per weighted
share outstanding for such quarter is at least $0.48 per share.

Quarterly Incentive Fee Based on Income. For the
portion of the Incentive Fee based on income, we pay our Investment Adviser a quarterly Incentive Fee based on the amount by which (A) aggregate net investment income (Ordinary Income) in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve
Quarters exceeds (B) the hurdle amount for such Trailing Twelve Quarters. The amount of the excess of (A) over (B) described in this paragraph for such Trailing Twelve Quarters is referred to as the Excess Income Amount.
For the avoidance of doubt, Ordinary Income is net of all fees and expenses, including the Management Fee but excluding any Incentive Fee.

The Incentive Fee based on income for each quarter is determined as follows:



| |  |  | No Incentive Fee based on income is payable to our Investment Adviser for any calendar quarter for which there
is no Excess Income Amount;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 100% of the Ordinary Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle amount, but is less than or equal to an amount,
which we refer to as the Catch-up Amount, determined as the sum of 2.1875% multiplied by our NAV at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve
Quarters is included in the calculation of the Incentive Fee based on income; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 20% of the Ordinary Income that exceeds the Catch-up Amount is
included in the calculation of the Incentive Fee based on income.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The amount of the Incentive Fee based
on income that is paid to our Investment Adviser for a particular quarter is equal to the excess of the Incentive Fee so calculated minus the aggregate Incentive Fees based on income that were paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters
(or the portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters but not in excess of the Incentive Fee Cap (as described below).

The Incentive Fee based on income that is paid to our Investment Adviser for a particular quarter is subject to a cap (the
Incentive Fee Cap). The Incentive Fee Cap for any quarter is an amount equal to (a) 20% of the Cumulative Net Return (as defined below) during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (b) the aggregate Incentive Fees based on
income that were paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or the portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters.

Cumulative Net Return means (x) the Ordinary Income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus
(y) any Net Capital Loss, if any, in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, we will pay no Incentive Fee based on income to our Investment Adviser for such
quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is a positive value but is less than the Incentive Fee based on income that is payable to our Investment Adviser for such quarter (before giving



18



---



effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, we will pay an Incentive Fee based on income to our Investment Adviser equal to the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter. If, in any
quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is equal to or greater than the Incentive Fee based on income that is payable to our Investment Adviser for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above,
we will pay an Incentive Fee based on income to our Investment Adviser equal to the Incentive Fee calculated as described above for such quarter without regard to the Incentive Fee Cap.

Net Capital Loss in respect of a particular period means the difference, if positive, between (i) aggregate
capital losses, whether realized or unrealized, in such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, in such period.

The following is a graphical representation of the calculation of the Incentive Fee based on income:

diagram. The diagram also does not reflect the Incentive Fee Cap.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Annual Incentive Fee Based on
Capital Gains. The portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains is calculated on an annual basis. For the period beginning on January 1 of each calendar year and ending on December 31 of the calendar year or, in the case of our
first and last year, the appropriate portion thereof (each, an Annual Period), we pay our Investment Adviser an Incentive Fee equal to (A) 20% of the difference, if positive, of the sum of our aggregate realized capital gains, if any,
computed net of our aggregate realized capital losses, if any, and our aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, in each case from April 1, 2013 until the end of such Annual Period minus (B) the cumulative amount of Incentive Fees based
on capital gains previously paid to our Investment Adviser from April 1, 2013. For the avoidance of doubt, unrealized capital appreciation is excluded from the calculation in clause (A), above.

We accrue, but not pay, a portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains with respect to net unrealized appreciation.
Under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), we are required to accrue an Incentive Fee based on capital gains that includes net realized capital gains and losses and net unrealized capital
appreciation and depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. In calculating the accrual for the Incentive Fee based on capital gains, we consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, since an
Incentive Fee based on capital gains would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the
Investment Management Agreement. This accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period,
then we record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such amount, minus the aggregate amount of actual Incentive Fees based on capital gains paid in all prior periods. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period.
There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. For the avoidance of doubt, the Incentive Fee examples below reflect the calculation of the Incentive Fee payable under the Investment Management
Agreement rather than accruals of the Incentive Fee as required by GAAP.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we
incurred Incentive Fees based on income of $9.22 million. As of December 31, 2019, $1.85 million remained payable. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred Incentive Fees based on income of $13.99 million. For the
years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did not accrue any Incentive Fees based on capital gains.

Determination of Incentive Fee based on income

In Quarter 1, the Ordinary Income of $6.0 million exceeds the Hurdle Amount of $1.75 million and the Catch-up Amount of $2.1875 million. There are no Net Capital Losses. As a result, an Incentive Fee based on income of $1.2 million ((100% of $437,500) + (20% of $3,812,500)) is payable to our Investment
Adviser for Quarter 1.

In Quarter 2, the Quarter 2 Ordinary Income of $1.5 million does not exceed the Quarter 2
Hurdle Amount of $1.75 million, but the aggregate Ordinary Income for the Trailing Twelve Quarters of $7.5 million exceeds the aggregate Hurdle Amount for the Trailing Twelve Quarters of $3.5 million and the aggregate Catch-up Amount for the Trailing Twelve Quarters of $4.375 million. There are no Net Capital Losses. As a result, an Incentive Fee based on income of $300,000 ($1.5 million ((100% of $875,000) + (20% of
3,125,000)) minus $1.2 million paid in Quarter 1) is payable to our Investment Adviser for Quarter 2.

In Quarter 3,
the aggregate Ordinary Income of the Trailing Twelve Quarters of $9.5 million exceeds the aggregate Hurdle Amount for the Trailing Twelve Quarters of $5.25 million and the aggregate Catch-up Amount
for the Trailing Twelve Quarters of $6.5625 million. However, there is an aggregate Net Capital Loss of ($4.0) million for the Trailing Twelve Quarters. As a result, the Incentive Fee Cap would apply. The Incentive Fee Cap equals $(400,000),
calculated as follows:

(20% x ($9.5 million minus $4.0 million)) minus $1.5 million paid in Quarters 1 and 2.
Because the Incentive Fee Cap is a negative value, there is no Incentive Fee based on income payable to our Investment Adviser for Quarter 3.

In Quarter 4, the aggregate Ordinary Income of the Trailing Twelve Quarters of $13.0 million exceeds the aggregate Hurdle
Amount for the Trailing Twelve Quarters of $7.0 million and the aggregate Catch-up Amount for the Trailing Twelve Quarters of $8.75 million. The calculation of the Incentive Fee based on income would
be $1.1 million ($2.6 million (100% of $1.75 million) + (20% of $4.25 million) minus $1.5 million paid in Quarters 1 and 2). However, there is an aggregate Net Capital Loss of ($1.0) million for the Trailing Twelve Quarters. As a
result, the Incentive Fee Cap would apply. The Incentive Fee Cap equals $900,000 calculated as follows:

(20% x
($13.0 million minus $1.0 million)) minus $1.5 million. Because the Incentive Fee Cap is positive but less than the Incentive Fee based on income of $1.1 million calculated prior to applying the Incentive Fee Cap, an Incentive Fee
based on income of $900,000 is payable to our Investment Adviser for Quarter 4.

Therefore, using the assumptions above, the Incentive Fee based on capital gains equals (A) 20% x ($10.0 million$5.0
million) minus (B) $0.

Therefore, the Incentive Fee based on capital gains equals $1.0 million.



| |  |  | Year 3: $1.8 million, which is calculated as follows:
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------

The Incentive Fee based on capital gains equals (A) 20% x ($15.0 million$1.0 million) minus (B) $1.0 million.

Therefore, the Incentive Fee based on capital gains equals $1.8 million.



| |  |  | Year 4: $200,000, which is calculated as follows:
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

The Incentive Fee based on capital gains equals (x) (A) 20% x ($15.0 million$0 million) minus (B) $2.8 million.

Therefore, the Incentive Fee based on capital gains equals $200,000.

Board Approval of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement

Our Board of Directors determined at an in person meeting held on July 29, 2019 to approve the continuation of the
Investment Management Agreement. In its consideration of the renewal of the Investment Management Agreement, the Board of Directors focused on information it had received relating to, among other things:



| |  |  | the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to us by the Investment Adviser;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the contractual terms of the Investment Management Agreement, including the structure of the Management Fee
imposed on gross assets (excluding cash) and the Incentive Fee imposed on net investment income and capital gains;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | comparative data with respect to the advisory fees and other expenses paid by other externally managed BDCs
with similar investment objectives and strategies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | information about the services performed and the personnel performing such services under the Investment
Management Agreement;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | comparative data with respect to our investment performance and the performance of other BDCs with comparable
investment objectives and strategies;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Investment Advisers revenues and pre-tax profit margins with
respect to its management of us;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any existing and potential benefits to the Investment Adviser or its affiliates from its relationship with us;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other potential benefits to us as a result of our relationship with the Investment Adviser; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | such other matters as the Board of Directors determined were relevant to their consideration of the Investment
Management Agreement.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Investment
Management Agreement, our Board of Directors gave weight to each of the factors described above, but did not identify any one particular factor as controlling their decision. After deliberation and consideration of all of the information provided,
including the factors described above, the Board of Directors concluded, in the exercise of



21



---



their business judgment, that the management fees paid by us were reasonable in light of the services provided to us by the Investment Adviser, the Investment Advisers costs, and our
current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels. The Board of Directors unanimously concluded that the Investment Advisers continued management likely would benefit us and our stockholders and that the Investment Management Agreement should be
approved and continued with respect to us until August 31, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we paid
our Investment Adviser a total of $28.66 million in fees (excluding fees that are accrued but not paid) pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, which consisted of $17.59 million in Management Fees and $11.07 million in
Incentive Fees. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we paid our Investment Adviser a total of $34.35 million in fees (excluding fees that are accrued but not paid) pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, which consisted of
$17.18 million in Management Fees and $17.17 million in Incentive Fees. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we paid our Investment Adviser a total of $21.46 million in fees (excluding fees that are accrued but not paid)
pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, which consisted of $14.48 million in Management Fees and $6.98 million in Incentive Fees.

Duration and Termination

The Investment Management Agreement will remain in full force and effect for successive annual periods, but only so long as
such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (a) the vote of a majority of our Independent Directors and (b) by a vote of a majority of our Board of Directors or of a majority of our outstanding voting securities, as
defined in the Investment Company Act. The Investment Management Agreement may, on 60 days written notice to the other party, be terminated in its entirety at any time without the payment of any penalty, by our Board of Directors, by vote of a
majority of our outstanding voting stock or by our Investment Adviser. The Investment Management Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Business and
StructureWe are dependent upon management personnel of our Investment Adviser for our future success.

Limitation of Liability of Our
Investment Adviser and the Company

The Investment Management Agreement provides that our Investment Adviser shall
not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by us in connection with the matters to which the Investment Management Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from our Investment Advisers willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by our Investment Adviser of its obligations and duties under the Investment Management Agreement. Any person, even though also employed by our
Investment Adviser, who may be or become an employee of and paid by us will be deemed, when acting within the scope of such employment, to be acting in such employment solely for us and not as our Investment Advisers employee or agent. These
protections may lead our Investment Adviser to act in a riskier manner when acting on our behalf than it would when acting for its own account. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Business and StructureOur Investment
Adviser will be paid the Management Fee even if the value of your investment declines and our Investment Advisers Incentive Fee may create incentives for it to make certain kinds of investments.

Organization of our Investment Adviser

Our Investment Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the
Advisers Act). The principal executive offices of our Investment Adviser are located at 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282.

Expenses

Our Investment
Adviser pays all costs incurred by it in connection with the performance of its duties under the Investment Management Agreement. Our Investment Adviser pays the compensation and expenses of all its personnel and makes available, without expense to
us, the services of such of its partners, officers and employees as may duly be elected as our officers or directors, subject to their individual consent to serve and to any limitations imposed by law. Our Investment Adviser is not required to pay
any of our expenses other than those specifically allocated to it, including as set forth below. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, our Investment Adviser is not required to pay: (i) our operational and
organizational expenses; (ii) fees and expenses, including travel expenses, incurred by our Investment Adviser or payable to third parties related to our investments, including, among others, professional fees (including the fees and expenses
of consultants and experts) and fees and expenses from evaluating, monitoring, researching and performing due diligence on investments and prospective investments; (iii) interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments;
(iv) fees and expenses incurred by us in connection with membership in investment company organizations; (v) brokers commissions; (vi) fees and expenses associated with calculating our NAV (including the costs and expenses of
any independent valuation firm); (vii) legal, auditing or accounting expenses; (viii) taxes or governmental fees; (ix) the fees and expenses of our administrator, transfer agent or sub-transfer
agent; (x) the cost of preparing stock certificates or any other expenses, including clerical expenses of issue, redemption or repurchase of our shares; (xi) the expenses of and fees for registering or qualifying our shares for sale and of
maintaining our registration and registering us as a broker or a dealer; (xii) the fees and expenses of our directors who are not affiliated with our Investment Adviser; (xiii) the cost of preparing and distributing reports, proxy
statements and notices to our stockholders, the SEC and other regulatory authorities; (xiv) costs of holding stockholder meetings; (xv) listing fees; (xvi) the fees or disbursements of custodians of our assets, including expenses
incurred in the performance of any obligations enumerated by our certificate of incorporation or bylaws insofar as they govern agreements with any such custodian; (xvii) insurance premiums; or (xviii) costs incurred in connection with any
claim, litigation, arbitration, mediation, government investigation or dispute in connection with our business and the amount of any judgment or settlement paid in connection therewith, or the enforcement of our rights against any person and
indemnification or contribution expenses payable by us to any person and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of our business. Our Investment Adviser is not required to pay expenses of activities which are primarily
intended to result in sales of our shares, including, all costs and expenses associated with the preparation and distribution of any offering memorandum, subscription agreements, registration statements, prospectuses or stockholder application
forms.



22



---



Our Investment Adviser may impose a voluntary cap on the amount of expenses
that will be borne by us on a monthly or annual basis. Any such expense cap may be increased, decreased, waived or eliminated at any time at our Investment Advisers sole discretion.

To the extent that expenses to be borne by us pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement are paid by our Investment
Adviser, we will reimburse our Investment Adviser for such expenses, provided, however, that our Investment Adviser may elect, from time to time and in its sole discretion, to bear certain of our expenses set forth above, including organizational
and other expenses.

Administration Agreement

Pursuant to the Administration Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, our administrator, our administrator is
responsible for providing various accounting and administrative services to us.

The Administration Agreement provides
that the administrator is not liable to us for any damages or other losses arising out of the performance of its services thereunder except under certain circumstances, and contains provisions for the indemnification of the administrator by us
against liabilities to other parties arising in connection with the performance of its services to us.

We pay the
administrator fees for its services as we determine are commercially reasonable in our sole discretion. We also reimburse the administrator for all reasonable expenses. To the extent that our administrator outsources any of its functions, the
administrator pays any compensation associated with such functions.

We are not obligated to retain our administrator. The
Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 30 days written notice to the other party.

The terms of any administration agreement that we may enter with any subsequent administrator may differ materially from the
terms of the Administration Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company in effect prior to such retention, including providing for a fee structure that results in us, directly or indirectly, bearing higher fees for similar services and other
terms that are potentially less advantageous to us. Our stockholders will not be entitled to receive prior notice of the engagement of an alternate administrator or of the terms of any agreement that is entered into with such administrator.

Transfer Agent

Computershare Trust Company, N.A. serves as our transfer agent (the Transfer Agent), dividend agent and registrar.

License Agreement

We are party to a license agreement with an affiliate of Goldman Sachs pursuant to which we have been granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Goldman Sachs name. Under this agreement, we do not have a right to use the Goldman Sachs name if GSAM or another affiliate of Goldman Sachs is not our
Investment Adviser or if our continued use of such license results in a violation of applicable law, results in a regulatory burden or has adverse regulatory consequences. Other than with respect to this limited license, we have no legal right to
the Goldman Sachs name.

Regulation

We have elected to be treated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act. As with other companies regulated by the Investment
Company Act, a BDC must adhere to certain substantive regulatory requirements. The Investment Company 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 Investment Company Act. In addition, the Investment Company 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. A majority of the outstanding voting securities of a company is defined under the Investment Company Act as the vote: (i) of 67% or more of the voting securities present at such meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of such company are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of such company, whichever is less.

Any issuance of preferred stock must comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act. The Investment Company Act
requires, among other things, that (1) immediately after issuance and before any dividend or other distribution is made with respect to our common stock and before any purchase of common stock is made, such preferred stock together with all
other senior securities must not exceed an amount equal to 50% of our total assets after deducting the amount of such dividend, distribution or purchase price, as the case may be, and (2) the holders of shares of preferred stock, if any are
issued, must be entitled as a class to elect two directors at all times and to elect a majority of the directors if dividends on such preferred stock are in arrears by two full years or more. Certain other matters under the Investment Company Act
require a separate class vote of the holders of any issued and outstanding preferred stock. For example, holders of preferred stock would be entitled to vote separately as a class from the holders of common stock on a proposal involving a plan of
reorganization adversely affecting such securities.



23



---



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 a principal underwriter as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act). We may purchase or otherwise receive warrants, which offer an opportunity (not a requirement) to purchase common stock of a portfolio company in connection with an acquisition financing or other investments. Similarly,
we may acquire rights that obligate an issuer of acquired securities or their affiliates to repurchase the securities at certain times, under certain circumstances. We do not intend to acquire securities issued by any investment company whereby our
investment would exceed the limits imposed by the Investment Company Act. Under these limits, we generally cannot (1) acquire more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of any registered investment company, (2) invest more than 5%
of the value of our total assets in the securities of one registered investment company or (3) invest more than 10% of the value of our total assets in the securities of registered investment companies in general. These limitations do not apply
where we acquire interests in a money market fund as long as we do not pay a sales charge or service fee in connection with the purchase. With respect to the portion of our portfolio invested in securities issued by investment companies, it should
be noted that such investments might subject our stockholders to additional expenses. None of our policies described above are fundamental and each such policy may be changed without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the
Investment Company Act.

Private funds that are excluded from the definition of investment company pursuant to
either Section 3(c)(1) or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act are also subject to certain of the limits under the Investment Company Act noted above. Specifically, such private funds may not acquire directly or through a controlled entity
more than 3% of our total outstanding voting stock (measured at the time of the acquisition). Investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act are also subject to the restriction as well as other limitations under the Investment
Company Act that would restrict the amount that they are able to invest in our securities. As a result, certain investors would be required to hold a smaller position in our shares than if they were not subject to such restrictions.

Qualifying Assets

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



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



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



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



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



| |  |  | does not have any class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or has a class of securities
listed on a national securities exchange but has an aggregate market value of outstanding common equity of less than $250 million;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | 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.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (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 at least 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 options, warrants or rights relating to such securities.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

Managerial Assistance to Portfolio Companies

A BDC must be organized and have its principal place of business in the United States and must be operated for the purpose of
making investments in the types of securities described in (1), (2) or (3) above under Qualifying Assets. However, in order to count portfolio securities as qualifying assets for the purpose of the 70% test, the BDC must also either
control the issuer of the securities or offer to make available to the issuer of the securities (other than small and solvent companies described above) significant managerial assistance; except that, where the



24



---



BDC purchases such securities in conjunction with one or more other persons acting together, one of the other persons in the group may make available such managerial assistance (as long as the
BDC does not make available significant managerial assistance solely in this fashion). Making available significant 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

As
a BDC, pending investment in other types of qualifying assets, as described above, our investments may consist of cash, cash items (such as money market funds), U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one
year or less from the time of investment, which we refer to, collectively, as temporary investments, so that 70% of our assets are qualifying assets. We may 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 which is greater than the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate. There is no percentage restriction on the proportion of our assets that may be invested in such repurchase
agreements. However, if more than 25% of our total assets constitute repurchase agreements from a single counterparty, we would generally not meet the asset 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. Our Investment Adviser will monitor the creditworthiness of the counterparties with which we enter into repurchase agreement
transactions.

Indebtedness and Senior Securities

As a BDC, we are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of shares of
stock senior to our common stock if our asset coverage ratio, as defined under the Investment Company Act, is at least equal to 200%, or 150% if certain requirements are met, immediately after each such issuance. The Small Business Credit
Availability Act modified the applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act to reduce the required asset coverage ratio applicable to BDCs to 150%, subject to certain approval and disclosure requirements. On June 15, 2018, our
stockholders approved the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act to us. As a result of this approval, we are now permitted to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage ratio,
as defined in the Investment Company Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing (if certain requirements are met), rather than 200%, as previously required. In addition, except in limited circumstances, while any indebtedness and senior securities
remain outstanding, we must make provisions to prohibit any distribution to our stockholders or the repurchase of such securities or stock 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. A loan is presumed to be made for temporary purposes if it is repaid within 60 days and is not extended or renewed;
otherwise it is presumed to not be for temporary purposes. For a discussion of the risks associated with leverage, see Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Business and StructureRegulations governing our operation as a BDC
affect our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company
Act and we have also approved our Investment Advisers Code of Ethics that it adopted in accordance with Rule 17j-1 and Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act. These
Codes of Ethics establish, among other things, procedures for personal investments and restrict certain personal securities transactions, including transactions in securities that are held by us. Personnel subject to each code may invest in
securities for their personal investment accounts, so long as such investments are made in accordance with the codes requirements. The Codes of Ethics are available on the EDGAR Database on the SECs Internet site at
http://www.sec.gov. Copies may also be obtained by electronic request to publicinfo@sec.gov.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

We have delegated the voting of portfolio securities to our Investment Adviser. For client accounts for which our Investment
Adviser has voting discretion, our Investment Adviser has adopted policies and procedures (the Proxy Voting Policy) for the voting of proxies. Under the Proxy Voting Policy, our Investment Advisers guiding principles in performing
proxy voting are to make decisions that favor proposals that tend to maximize a companys shareholder value and are not influenced by conflicts of interest. To implement these guiding principles for investments in publicly traded equities, our
Investment Adviser has developed customized proxy voting guidelines (the Guidelines) that it generally applies when voting on behalf of client accounts. These Guidelines address a wide variety of individual topics, including, among other
matters, shareholder voting rights, anti-takeover defenses, board structures, the election of directors, executive and director compensation, reorganizations, mergers, issues of corporate social responsibility and various shareholder proposals.

The Proxy Voting Policy, including the Guidelines, is reviewed periodically to assure that it continues to be consistent with
our Investment Advisers guiding principles. The Guidelines embody the positions and factors our Investment Adviser generally considers important in casting proxy votes.

Our Investment Adviser has retained a third-party proxy voting service (the Proxy Service), currently
Institutional Shareholder Services, to assist in the implementation and administration of certain proxy voting-related functions including operational, recordkeeping, and reporting services. The Proxy Service also prepares a written analysis and
recommendation (a Recommendation) of each proxy vote that reflects the Proxy Services application of the Guidelines to particular proxy issues. While it is our Investment Advisers policy generally to follow the Guidelines and
Recommendations from the Proxy Service, our Investment Advisers portfolio management teams (the Portfolio Management Teams) may, on certain proxy votes, seek approval to diverge from the Guidelines or a Recommendation by following
an



25



---



override process. Such decisions are subject to a review and approval process, including a determination that the decision is not influenced by any conflict of interest. A Portfolio
Management Team that receives approval through the override process to cast a proxy vote that diverges from the Guidelines and/or a Recommendation may vote differently than other Portfolio Management Teams that did not seek to override the vote. In
forming their views on particular matters, the Portfolio Management Teams are also permitted to consider applicable regional rules and practices, including codes of conduct and other guides, regarding proxy voting, in addition to the Guidelines and
Recommendations. Our Investment Adviser may hire other service providers to replace or supplement the Proxy Service with respect to any of the services our Investment Adviser currently receives from the Proxy Service.

From time to time, our Investment Adviser may face regulatory, compliance, legal or logistical limits with respect to voting
securities that it may purchase or hold for client accounts, which can affect our Investment Advisers ability to vote such proxies, as well as the desirability of voting such proxies. Among other limits, federal, state and foreign regulatory
restrictions or company specific ownership limits, as well as legal matters related to consolidated groups, may restrict the total percentage of an issuers voting securities that our Investment Adviser can hold for clients and the nature of
our Investment Advisers voting in such securities. Our Investment Advisers ability to vote proxies may also be affected by, among other things: (i) late receipt of meeting notices; (ii) requirements to vote proxies in person;
(iii) restrictions on a foreigners ability to exercise votes; (iv) potential difficulties in translating the proxy; (v) requirements to provide local agents with unrestricted powers of attorney to facilitate voting instructions;
and (vi) requirements that investors who exercise their voting rights surrender the right to dispose of their holdings for some specified period in proximity to the shareholder meeting.

Our Investment Adviser conducts periodic due diligence meetings with the Proxy Service which include a review of the Proxy
Services general organizational structure, new developments with respect to research and technology, work flow improvements and internal due diligence with respect to conflicts of interest.

Our Investment Adviser has adopted policies and procedures designed to prevent conflicts of interest from influencing its
proxy voting decisions that our Investment Adviser makes on behalf of a client account and to help assure that such decisions are made in accordance with our Investment Advisers fiduciary obligations to its clients. These policies and
procedures include our Investment Advisers use of the Guidelines and Recommendations from the Proxy Service, the override approval process previously discussed, and the establishment of information barriers between our Investment Adviser and
other Goldman Sachs businesses. Notwithstanding such proxy voting policies and procedures, actual proxy voting decision of our Investment Adviser may have the effect of benefitting the interest of other clients or businesses of other divisions
or units of Goldman Sachs and/or its affiliates, provided that our Investment Adviser believes such voting decisions to be in accordance with its fiduciary obligations.

Voting decisions with respect to fixed income securities and the securities of privately held issuers generally will be made
by our Investment Adviser based on its assessment of the particular transactions or other matters at issue.

Information
regarding how we vote proxies relating to portfolio securities during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2019 is available upon request by writing to Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc., Attention: Katherine Schneider, Investor Relations, 200 West
Street, New York, New York 10282.

Privacy Principles

The following information is provided to help investors understand what personal information we collect, how we protect that
information and why, in certain cases, we may share information with select other parties.

We generally will not receive
any nonpublic personal information relating to stockholders who purchase our common stock. We may collect nonpublic personal information regarding our existing investors from sources such as subscription agreements, investor questionnaires and other
forms; individual investors account histories; and correspondence between us and individual investors. We may share information that we collect regarding an investor with our affiliates and the employees of such affiliates for everyday
business purposes, for example, to service the investors accounts and, unless an investor opts out, provide the investor with information about other products and services offered by us or our affiliates that may be of interest to the
investor. In addition, we may disclose information that we collect regarding investors to third parties who are not affiliated with us (i) as authorized by our investors in investor subscription agreements or our organizational documents;
(ii) as required by applicable law or in connection with a properly authorized legal or regulatory investigation, subpoena or summons, or to respond to judicial process or government regulatory authorities having property jurisdiction;
(iii) as required to fulfill investor instructions; or (iv) as otherwise permitted by applicable law to perform support services for investor accounts or process investor transactions with us or our affiliates.

Any party not affiliated with us that receives nonpublic personal information relating to investors from us is required to
adhere to confidentiality agreements and to maintain appropriate safeguards to protect your information. Additionally, for officers, employees and agents of ours and our affiliates, access to such information is restricted to those who need such
access to provide services to us and investors. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to seek to guard investor nonpublic personal information. For a discussion of the risks associated with cyber incidents, see Item
1ARisk FactorsCybersecurity risks and cyber incidents may adversely affect our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information and/or damage to our business relationships,
all of which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

Other

We may also be prohibited under the Investment Company Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with our
affiliates without the prior approval of the members of our 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 by BDCs with affiliates to prohibit
joint transactions among entities that share a common investment adviser or under common control with the 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. Except in certain limited circumstances, we will be unable to invest in any issuer in which another
client sponsored or managed by our Investment Adviser has previously invested, including GS PMMC, GS MMLC and GS PMMC II. On January 4, 2017, the SEC granted GS PMMC, GS MMLC, GS PMMC II and us, as well as certain other funds that may be
managed by GSAM, including the GSAM Credit Alternatives investment team, in the future, exemptive relief to make negotiated co-investments, subject to certain terms and conditions in the exemptive relief. As a
result of the exemptive relief, there could be significant overlap in our portfolio and the investment portfolios of GS PMMC, GS MMLC, GS PMMC II and/or other funds established by the GSAM Credit Alternatives Team that are able to rely on the order.

As a BDC, the SEC will periodically examine us for compliance with the Investment Company Act.

We are required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company, to protect against larceny
and embezzlement, covering each of our officers and employees, who may singly, or jointly with others, have access to our securities or funds. Furthermore, as a BDC, we are prohibited from protecting any director, officer, investment adviser or
underwriter against any liability to us or our stockholders arising from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such persons office.

We and our Investment Adviser are each required to adopt and implement written policies and procedures reasonably designed to
prevent violation of the federal securities laws, review these policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation and designate a chief compliance officer to be responsible for administering the
policies and procedures.

Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act

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



| |  |  | our principal executive officer and principal financial officer must certify the accuracy of the financial
statements contained in our periodic reports;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our periodic reports must disclose the conclusions of our principal executive and principal financial officers
about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our management must prepare an annual report regarding its assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting, which must be audited by our independent registered public accounting firm; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our periodic reports must disclose whether there were any changes in our internal controls over financing
reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Compliance with Listing Requirements

Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol GSBD. As a listed company on the NYSE, we are subject to
various listing standards including corporate governance listing standards. We believe we are in compliance with these rules.

Compliance with the Bank
Holding Company Act

As a BHC and FHC, the activities of Group Inc. and its affiliates are subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHCA), and related regulations. BHCs and FHCs are subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board (the Federal Reserve). Because
Group Inc. may be deemed to control us within the meaning of the BHCA, restrictions under the BHCA could apply to us as well. Accordingly, the BHCA and other applicable banking laws, rules, regulations and guidelines, and their
interpretation and administration by the appropriate regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve, may restrict our investments, transactions and operations and may restrict the transactions and relationships between our Investment Adviser,
Group Inc. and their affiliates, on the one hand, and us on the other hand. For example, the BHCA regulations applicable to Group Inc. and us may, among other things, restrict our ability to make certain investments or the size of certain
investments, impose a maximum holding period on some or all of our investments and restrict our and our Investment Advisers ability to participate in the management and operations of the companies in which we invest. In addition, certain BHCA
regulations may require aggregation of the positions owned, held or controlled by related entities. Thus, in certain circumstances, positions held by Group Inc. and its affiliates (including our Investment Adviser) for client and proprietary
accounts may need to be aggregated with positions held by us. In this case, where BHCA regulations impose a cap on the amount of a position that may be held, Goldman Sachs may utilize available capacity to make investments for its proprietary
accounts or for the accounts of other clients, which may require us to limit and/or liquidate certain investments. Additionally, Goldman Sachs may in the future, in its sole discretion and without notice to investors, engage in activities impacting
us and/or our Investment Adviser in order to comply with the BHCA or other legal requirements applicable to, or reduce or eliminate the impact or applicability of any bank regulatory or other restrictions on, Goldman Sachs, us or other funds and
accounts managed by our Investment Adviser and its affiliates. In addition, Goldman Sachs may cease in the future to qualify as a FHC, which may subject us to additional restrictions. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the bank regulatory
requirements applicable to Goldman Sachs and us, or the interpretation thereof, will not change, or that any such change will not have a material adverse effect on us. See Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Business and
StructureOur activities may be limited as a result of potentially being deemed to be controlled by a bank holding company.

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

Investing in our securities involves certain risks relating to our structure and investment objective. You should carefully
consider these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this report, before you decide whether to make an investment in our securities. The risks set forth below are not the only risks we face, and we may face other risks
that we have not yet identified, which we do not currently deem material or which are not yet predictable. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In
such case, our NAV and the trading price of our securities 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 in the United States, 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, from 2008 to 2009, the
global capital markets were unstable as evidenced by the lack of liquidity in the debt capital markets, significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly
syndicated credit market and the failure of major financial institutions. Despite actions of the U.S. federal government and various 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. There have been more recent periods of volatility and there can be no
assurance that adverse market conditions will not repeat themselves in the future. If similar adverse and volatile market conditions repeat in the future, we and other companies in the financial services sector may have to access, if available,
alternative markets for debt and equity capital in order to grow. Equity capital may be particularly 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 NAV per share without first obtaining approval for such issuance from our stockholders and our Independent Directors. Volatile economic conditions may lead to strategic
initiatives such as merger activity in the BDC space.

Moreover, the re-appearance
of market conditions similar to those experienced from 2008 through 2009 for any substantial length of time or worsened market conditions, including as a result of U.S. government shutdowns or the perceived creditworthiness of the United States,
could make it difficult for us to borrow money or to extend the maturity of or refinance any indebtedness we may have under 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 any, 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 investors in our common stock 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.

Given the periods of extreme volatility and dislocation in the capital markets from time to time, many BDCs have faced, and
may in the future face, a challenging environment in which to raise or access capital. In addition, significant changes in the capital markets, including the extreme volatility and disruption over the past several years, has had, and may in the
future have, a negative effect on asset valuations of our investments and on the potential for liquidity events involving these investments. While most of our investments are not publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require us to assume
as part of our valuation process that our investments are sold in a principal market to market participants (even if we plan on holding an investment through its maturity). As a result, volatility in the capital markets can adversely affect our
investment valuations. Further, the illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell such investments to access capital if required. 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. In addition, a prolonged period of market illiquidity may cause us to reduce the volume of loans and debt securities we originate and/or fund and adversely affect the value of our
portfolio investments, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. An inability to raise or access capital could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.

Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations, including our revenue growth and profitability.

The current worldwide
financial market situation, as well as various social and political tensions in the United States and around the world, have contributed and may continue to contribute to increased market volatility, may have long-term effects on the United States
and worldwide financial markets, and may cause economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. We monitor developments and seek to manage our investments in a manner consistent with achieving our investment objective, but
there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.

In August 2011 and then affirmed in August 2013, Standard &
Poors Rating Services lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States from AAA to AA+. Additionally, in January of 2012, Standard & Poors Rating Services lowered its long-term sovereign
credit rating for several large European countries. These ratings negatively impacted global markets and economic conditions. Although U.S. lawmakers have taken steps to avoid further downgrades, U.S. budget deficit concerns and similar conditions
in Europe, China and elsewhere have increased the possibility of additional credit-rating downgrades and worsening global economic and market conditions. There can be no assurance that current or future governmental measures to mitigate these
conditions will be effective. These conditions, government actions and future developments may cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may adversely affect our ability to access debt financing on favorable terms and may increase the
interest costs of our borrowers, hampering their ability to repay us. Continued or future adverse economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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 possible that, without quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve, these developments, along with the United States governments credit and deficit concerns and other global economic conditions, could cause interest rates and borrowing
costs to rise, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. Additionally, the Federal Reserve has raised its federal funds target rate five times since December 2016. However, if key economic indicators,
such as the unemployment rate or inflation, do not progress at a rate consistent with the Federal Reserves objectives, the target range for the federal funds rate may further increase and cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which
may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms and may also increase the costs of our borrowers, hampering their ability to repay us.

Legislation may be adopted that could significantly affect the regulation of U.S. financial markets. Areas subject to
potential change, amendment or repeal include the Dodd-Frank Act and the authority of the Federal Reserve and the Financial Stability Oversight Council. These or other regulatory changes could result in greater competition from banks and other
lenders with which we compete for lending and other investment opportunities. The United States may also potentially withdraw from or renegotiate various trade agreements and take other actions that would change current trade policies of the United
States. We cannot predict which, if any, of these actions will be taken or, if taken, their effect on the financial stability of the United States. Such actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

Our operation as a BDC imposes numerous constraints on us and significantly reduces our operating flexibility. In
addition, if we fail to maintain our status as a BDC, we might be regulated as a closed-end investment company, which would subject us to additional regulatory restrictions.

The Investment Company Act imposes numerous constraints on the operations of BDCs. For example, BDCs generally are required to
invest at least 70% of their total assets primarily in securities of qualifying U.S. private companies or thinly traded public companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one
year or less from the time of investment. These constraints may hinder our Investment Advisers ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and to achieve our investment objective. Furthermore, any failure to comply with
the requirements imposed on BDCs by the Investment Company Act could cause the SEC to bring an enforcement action against us and/or expose us to claims of private litigants.

We may be precluded from investing in what our Investment Adviser believes are attractive investments if such investments are
not qualifying assets for purposes of the Investment Company Act. If we do not invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets, we will be prohibited from making any additional investment that is not a qualifying asset and could be
forced to forgo attractive investment opportunities. Similarly, these rules could prevent us from making follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies (which could result in the dilution of our
position).

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 Investment Company 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 any outstanding indebtedness we might have, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on all of our income if we are unable to maintain our qualification for tax treatment as a
RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

Although we have elected to be treated, and expect to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, we cannot
assure you that we will be able to maintain RIC status. To maintain RIC status and be relieved of U.S. federal income taxes on income and gains distributed to our stockholders, we must meet the annual distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements described below.



| |  | The annual distribution requirement for a RIC will generally be satisfied if we distribute to our stockholders
on an annual basis at least 90% of our investment company taxable income (generally, our net ordinary income plus the excess of our realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, determined without regard to the
dividends paid deduction) for each taxable year. Because we use debt financing, we are subject to an asset coverage ratio requirement under the Investment Company Act, and we are subject to certain covenants contained in our credit agreements and
other debt financing agreements. This asset coverage ratio requirement and these covenants could, under certain circumstances, restrict us from making distributions to our stockholders that are necessary for us to satisfy the distribution
requirement. If we are unable to obtain cash from other sources, and thus are unable to make sufficient distributions to our stockholders, we could fail to maintain our RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income
tax (and any applicable U.S. state and local taxes).
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



29



---



| |  | The asset diversification requirement will be satisfied if, at the end of each quarter of our 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 acceptable securities, 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. Failure to meet these requirements may result in our having to dispose of certain investments quickly in order to prevent the loss of our 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 maintain our RIC status for any reason, and we do not qualify for certain relief provisions under the Code, we
would be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax (and any applicable U.S. state and local taxes). In this event, the resulting taxes and any resulting penalties could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of our income available
for distribution and the amount of our distributions to our stockholders, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.

We are dependent upon management personnel of our Investment Adviser for our future success.

We do not have any employees. We depend on the experience, diligence, skill and network of business contacts of the GSAM
Credit Alternatives investment team. The GSAM Credit Alternatives investment team, together with other investment professionals that our Investment Adviser currently retains or may subsequently retain, identifies, evaluates, negotiates, structures,
closes, monitors and manages our investments. Our future success will depend to a significant extent on the continued service and coordination of our Investment Advisers senior investment professionals. The departure of any of our Investment
Advisers key personnel, including members of the Investment Committee, or of a significant number of the investment professionals of our Investment Adviser, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results
of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that our Investment Adviser will remain our investment adviser or that we will continue to have access to our Investment Adviser or its investment professionals. See Our Investment Adviser
can resign on 60 days notice. We may not be able to find a suitable replacement within that time, resulting in a disruption in our operations that could adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.

Our Investment Adviser, its principals, investment professionals and employees and the members of its Investment Committee have certain
conflicts of interest.

Our Investment Adviser, its principals, affiliates, investment professionals and
employees, the members of its Investment Committee and our officers and directors serve or may serve now or in the future as investment advisers, officers, directors, principals of, or in other capacities with respect to, public or private entities
(including other BDCs and other investment funds) that operate in the same or a related line of business as us. For example, we have the same management and Investment Committee team as GS PMMC, GS MMLC and GS PMMC II. Therefore, we expect these
individuals may have obligations to investors in such other BDCs, the fulfillment of which might not be in our best interests or the best interests of our stockholders and we expect that investment opportunities will satisfy the investment criteria
for both us and such other BDCs. In addition, GSAM and its affiliates also manage other Accounts, and expect to manage other vehicles in the future, that have investment mandates that are similar, in whole or in part, to ours and, accordingly, may
invest in asset classes similar to those targeted by us. As a result, the Investment Adviser and/or its affiliates may face conflicts in allocating investment opportunities between us and such other entities. The fact that our investment advisory
fees may be lower than those of certain other funds advised by GSAM could result in this conflict of interest affecting us adversely relative to such other funds.

Subject to applicable law, we may invest alongside Goldman Sachs and its Accounts. In certain circumstances, negotiated co-investments by us and other Accounts may be made only pursuant to an order from the SEC permitting us to do so. Together with our Investment Adviser, GS PMMC, GS MMLC and GS PMMC II, we applied for and received
an exemptive order from the SEC that permits us to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates (including GS PMMC, GS MMLC and GS PMMC II), each of whose investment adviser is
GSAM, after the date of the exemptive order, subject to certain conditions, such as that co-investments be made in a manner consistent with our investment objectives, positions, policies, strategies and
restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements and pursuant to the conditions required by the exemptive relief, and are allocated fairly among participants. As a result of such order, there could be significant overlap in our investment portfolio
and the investment portfolios of GS PMMC, GS MMLC and GS PMMC II and/or other funds managed by our Investment Adviser. If we are unable to rely on our exemptive relief for a particular opportunity, when our Investment Adviser identifies certain
investments, it will be required to determine which Accounts should make the investment at the potential exclusion of other Accounts. In such circumstances, the Investment Adviser will adhere to its investment allocation policy in order to determine
the Account to which to allocate the opportunity. The policy provides that our Investment Adviser allocate opportunities through a rotation system or in such other manner as our Investment Adviser determines to be equitable. Accordingly, it is
possible that we may not be given the opportunity to participate in investments made by other Accounts. See Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates is restricted.

Goldman Sachs financial and other interests may incentivize Goldman Sachs to favor other Accounts.

Our Investment Adviser receives performance-based compensation in respect of its investment management activities on our
behalf, which rewards our Investment Adviser for positive performance of our investment portfolio. As a result, our Investment Adviser may make investments for us that present a greater potential for return but also a greater risk of loss or that
are more speculative than would be the case in the absence of performance-based compensation. In addition, our Investment Adviser may simultaneously manage other Accounts (including



30



---



other BDCs (including GS PMMC, GS MMLC and GS PMMC II)) for which our Investment Adviser may be entitled to receive greater fees or other compensation (as a percentage of performance or
otherwise) than it receives in respect of us. In addition, subject to applicable law, Goldman Sachs may invest in other Accounts (including other business development companies (including GS PMMC, GS MMLC and GS PMMC II)), and such investments may
constitute substantial percentages of such other Accounts outstanding equity interests. Therefore, our Investment Adviser may have an incentive to favor such other Accounts over us. To address these types of conflicts, our Investment Adviser
has adopted policies and procedures under which investment opportunities will be allocated in a manner that it believes is consistent with its obligations as an Investment Adviser. However, the amount, timing, structuring or terms of an investment
by us may differ from, and performance may be different than, the investments and performance of other Accounts.

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

Our ability to achieve our investment objective depends on our Investment Advisers ability to identify, invest in and
monitor companies that meet our investment criteria. Accomplishing this result on a cost-effective basis is largely a function of the structuring of our investment process and the ability of our Investment Adviser to provide competent, attentive and
efficient services to us. Our executive officers and the members of the Investment Committee have substantial responsibilities in connection with their roles at our Investment Adviser, with respect to GS PMMC, GS MMLC and other clients of our
Investment Adviser, as well as responsibilities under the Investment Management Agreement. We may also be called upon to provide significant managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies. These demands on their time, which will
increase as the number of investments grow, may distract them or slow the rate of investment. In order to grow, our Investment Adviser may need to hire, train, supervise, manage and retain new employees. However, we cannot assure you that they will
be able to do so effectively. Any failure to manage our future growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our ability to grow depends on our ability to raise additional capital.

We will need to periodically access the capital markets to raise cash to fund new investments. If we do not have adequate
capital available for investment, our performance could be adversely affected. In addition, we have elected to be treated, and expect to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended
December 31, 2013. To maintain our status as a RIC, among other requirements, we are required to timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid
deduction), which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, if any, for each taxable year. Consequently, such distributions will not be available to fund
new investments. We expect to use debt financing and issue additional securities to fund our growth, if any. Unfavorable economic or capital market conditions may increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a
decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. An inability to successfully access the capital markets could limit our ability to grow our business and fully execute our business strategy and could decrease our earnings, if any. We may pursue
growth through acquisitions or strategic investments in new businesses. Completion and timing of any such acquisitions or strategic investments may be subject to a number of contingencies and risks. There can be no assurance that the integration of
an acquired business will be successful or that an acquired business will prove to be profitable or sustainable.

Regulations
governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital. These constraints may hinder our Investment Advisers ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and to achieve our
investment objective.

Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to raise additional
capital, and the ways in which we can do so. Raising additional capital may expose us to risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage, and may result in dilution to our current stockholders. The Investment Company Act limits our
ability to borrow amounts or issue debt securities or preferred stock, which we refer to collectively as senior securities, to amounts such that our asset coverage ratio, as defined under the Investment Company Act, equals at least 150%
immediately after such borrowing or issuance if certain requirements are met (except in connection with certain trading practices or investments), rather than 200%, as previously required and as described below. Consequently, if the value of our
assets declines, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a time when this may be disadvantageous to us and, as a result, our stockholders. The Small
Business Credit Availability Act modified the applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act to reduce the required asset coverage ratio applicable to BDCs to 150%, subject to certain approval and disclosure requirements. Under the legislation,
BDCs are able to increase their leverage capacity if stockholders approve a proposal to do so. At our 2018 annual meeting of stockholders held on June 15, 2018, our stockholders approved the proposal to apply the modified asset coverage
requirements in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act to us. As a result of this approval, (1) we are now required to maintain asset coverage for our senior securities of 150% rather than 200% and (2) we and GSAM have reduced
the Management Fee from 1.50% (0.375% per quarter) to 1.00% (0.25% per quarter) on the average value of our gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts, at the end of the two most recently
completed calendar quarters. Considerations and risks related to increased leverage include: (a) the potential for magnified gains and losses on amounts invested, (b) increased debt service costs, (c) the potential for increased
Incentive Fees for GSAM and (d) fewer proceeds remaining for distributions for stockholders in the case of a liquidation event. On September 17, 2018, we entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things,
reduce the existing minimum asset coverage ratio covenant from 200% to 150%.

We are generally not able to issue and sell
our common stock at a price per share below NAV 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 NAV per share of our common stock (i) with the
consent of a majority of our common stockholders (and a majority of our common stockholders who are not affiliates of ours) and (ii) if, among other things, a majority of our Independent Directors and a majority of our directors who have no
financial interest in the transaction determine that a sale is in the best interests of us and our stockholders. If our common stock trades at a discount to NAV, this restriction could adversely affect our ability to raise capital.



31

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

As part of our business strategy, we may borrow from and issue senior debt securities to
banks, insurance companies and other lenders or investors. Holders of these senior securities will have fixed-dollar claims on our assets that are superior to the claims of our common stockholders. If the value of our assets decreases, leveraging
would cause NAV to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have if we did not employ leverage. 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 common stockholders. In addition, we would have to service any additional debt that we incur, including interest expense on debt and dividends on preferred stock that we may issue, as well
as the fees and costs related to the entry into or amendments to debt facilities. These expenses (which may be higher than the expenses on our current borrowings due to the rising interest rate environment) would decrease net investment income, and
our ability to pay such expenses will depend largely on our financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures. Moreover, leverage will increase the Management Fee payable to our Investment Adviser,
which is based on our gross assets, including those assets acquired through the use of leverage but excluding cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, we will be able to incur additional leverage if we are able to obtain exemptive relief from the
SEC to exclude the debt of any SBIC subsidiary we may form in the future from the leverage requirements otherwise applicable to BDCs. We have not yet applied to the Small Business Administration (the SBA) for approval to form a SBIC and
have not yet applied for exemptive relief from the SEC. We can offer no assurances as to whether or when we will be able to form a SBIC subsidiary or obtain such exemptive relief.

In addition to having fixed-dollar claims on our assets that are superior to the claims of our common stockholders, any
obligations to the lenders will be secured by a first priority security interest in our portfolio of investments and cash. In the case of a liquidation event, those lenders would receive proceeds to the extent of their security interest before any
distributions are made to our stockholders. Furthermore, our Revolving Credit Facility imposes, and any credit agreement or other debt financing agreement into which we may enter may impose, financial and operating covenants that restrict our
investment activities (including restrictions on industry concentrations), remedies on default and similar matters. In connection with borrowings, our lenders may also require us to pledge assets.

Lastly, we may be unable to obtain our desired leverage, which would, in turn, affect your return on investment.

At our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders held on May 20, 2019, our stockholders approved the proposal to apply the
modified asset coverage requirements in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act to us. As a result of this approval, (1) we are now required to maintain asset coverage for our senior securities of 150% (if certain requirements are
met) rather than 200% and (2) we and GSAM have reduced the Management Fee from 1.50% (0.375% per quarter) to 1.00% (0.25% per quarter) on the average value of our gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, but including assets purchased
with borrowed amounts, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters.

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

We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities.

A number of entities, including GS PMMC, GS MMLC, and GS PMMC II, compete with us to make the types of investments that we
make in middle-market companies. We compete with other BDCs, commercial and investment banks, commercial financing companies, CLOs, private funds, including hedge funds, and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private
equity funds. Many of our competitors are more experienced, substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. Some competitors may have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources
that are not available to us. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish more relationships than us.
Furthermore, certain of our competitors are not subject to the regulatory restrictions that the Investment Company Act imposes on us as a BDC and that the Code imposes on us as a RIC. Additionally, an investment opportunity may be appropriate for
one or more of us and GS PMMC, GS MMLC, and GS PMMC II or any other investment fund managed by our affiliates and co-investment may not be possible. In these instances GSAM will adhere to its investment
allocation policy in order to determine to which entity to allocate the opportunity. Also, as a result of this competition, we may not be able to secure attractive investment opportunities from time to time.

---



We do not seek to compete primarily based on the interest rates we offer and
GSAM believes that some of our competitors may make loans with interest rates that are comparable to or lower than the rates we offer. Rather, we compete with our competitors based on our reputation in the market, our existing investment platform,
the seasoned investment professionals of our Investment Adviser, our experience and focus on middle-market companies, our disciplined investment philosophy, our extensive industry focus and relationships and our flexible transaction structuring. For
a more detailed discussion of these competitive advantages, see Item 1. BusinessCompetitive Advantages.

We may lose investment opportunities if we do not match our competitors pricing, terms and structure. If we match our
competitors pricing, terms and structure, we may experience decreased net interest income and increased risk of credit loss. As a result of operating in such a competitive environment, we may make investments that are on less favorable terms
than what we may have originally anticipated, which may impact our return on these investments. We cannot assure investors that the competitive pressures we face will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

Our Investment Adviser will be paid the Management Fee even if the value of your investment declines and our
Investment Advisers Incentive Fee may create incentives for it to make certain kinds of investments.

The
Management Fee is payable even in the event the value of your investment declines. The Management Fee is calculated as a percentage of the average value of our gross assets including borrowed funds (excluding cash or cash equivalents) at the end of
the prior two completed calendar quarters. Accordingly, the Management Fee is payable regardless of whether the value of our gross assets and/or your investment has decreased during the then-current quarter and creates an incentive for the
Investment Adviser to incur leverage.

In addition, the Incentive Fee payable by us to our Investment Adviser may create
an incentive for our Investment Adviser to make investments on our behalf that are risky or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such a compensation arrangement and also to incur leverage, which will tend to enhance returns
where our portfolio has positive returns. Our Investment Adviser receives the Incentive Fee based, in part, upon capital gains realized on our investments. As a result, our Investment Adviser may have an incentive to invest more in companies whose
securities are likely to yield capital gains, as compared to income-producing securities. 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.

The Incentive Fee payable by us to our Investment Adviser also may
create an incentive for our Investment Adviser to invest on our behalf in instruments that have a deferred interest feature. Under these investments, we accrue the interest over the life of the investment but do not receive the cash income from the
investment until the end of the term. Our net investment income used to calculate the income portion of our Incentive Fee, however, includes accrued interest. Thus, a portion of this Incentive Fee is based on income that we have not yet received in
cash. This risk could be increased because our Investment Adviser is not obligated to reimburse us for any Incentive Fees received even if we subsequently incur losses or never receive in cash the accrued income (including accrued income with
respect to original issue discount (OID), PIK interest and zero coupon securities).

If we increase leverage,
the management fees payable to our Investment Adviser will be higher than if we did not use leverage, irrespective of the return on the incremental assets. In addition, as leverage generally would magnify positive returns, if any, on our portfolio,
as noted above, the use of leverage may cause our net investment income to exceed the quarterly hurdle rate for the Incentive Fee on income payable to our Investment Adviser at a lower average return on our portfolio.

The Incentive Fee based on income takes into account our past performance.

The Incentive Fee based on income will be determined and paid quarterly in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter by
reference to our aggregate net investment income, as adjusted, from the calendar quarter then ending and the Trailing Twelve Quarters. The effect of calculating the Incentive Fee using reference to the Trailing Twelve Quarters is that, in certain
limited circumstances, an Incentive Fee based on income will be payable to our Investment Adviser although our net income for such quarter did not exceed the hurdle rate or the Incentive Fee will be higher than it would have been if calculated based
on our performance for the applicable quarter without taking into account the Trailing Twelve Quarters. For example, if we experience a net loss for any particular quarter, an Incentive Fee may still be paid to our Investment Adviser if such net
loss is less than the net loss for the most recent quarter that preceded the Trailing Twelve Quarters. In such circumstances, our Investment Adviser would be entitled to an Incentive Fee whereas it would not have been entitled to an Incentive Fee if
calculated solely on the basis of our performance for the applicable quarter.

We incur significant costs as a result of being a
public company.

We incur legal, accounting and other expenses, including costs associated with the periodic
reporting requirements applicable to a company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, as well as additional corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These requirements may place a
strain on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls
and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, which requires significant resources and management oversight. See Item 1. BusinessCompliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are implementing additional procedures,
processes, policies and practices for the purpose of addressing the standards and requirements applicable to public companies. These activities may divert managements attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We have incurred, and expect to incur in the future, significant additional annual expenses related to these steps and directors and officers liability
insurance, director fees, reporting requirements of the SEC, transfer agent fees, additional administrative expenses payable to our administrator to compensate it for hiring additional accounting, legal and administrative personnel, increased
auditing and legal fees and similar expenses associated with being a public company.

---



Efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act involve significant
expenditures, and noncompliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may adversely affect us and the market price of our securities.

We are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the related rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. Under current SEC
rules, we are required to report on internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and regulations of the SEC thereunder, and our independent registered public accounting firm must audit this report.
We are required to review on an annual basis our internal control over financial reporting, and on a quarterly and annual basis to evaluate and disclose changes in our internal control over financial reporting.

As a result, we incur additional expenses that may negatively impact our financial performance and our ability to make
distributions. This process also may result in a diversion of managements time and attention. We cannot be certain as to the timing of completion of any evaluation, testing and remediation actions or the impact of the same on our operations,
and we may not be able to ensure that the process is effective or that our internal control over financial reporting is or will be effective in a timely manner. In the event that we are unable to maintain or achieve compliance with Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related rules, we and the market price of our common stock would be adversely affected.

Potential
conflicts of interest with other businesses of Goldman Sachs could impact our investment returns.

There are
significant potential conflicts of interest that could negatively impact our investment returns. A number of these potential conflicts of interest with affiliates of our Investment Adviser and Group Inc. are discussed in more detail elsewhere in
this report.

Group Inc., including its affiliates and personnel, is a BHC and a worldwide, full-service investment
banking, broker-dealer, asset management and financial services organization, and a major participant in global financial markets that provides a wide range of financial services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes
corporations, financial institutions, governments and high-net-worth individuals. As such, it acts as an investor, investment banker, research provider, investment
manager, financier, adviser, market maker, trader, prime broker, derivatives dealer, lender, counterparty, agent and principal. In those and other capacities, Goldman Sachs and its affiliates advise clients in all markets and transactions and
purchase, sell and recommend a broad array of investments, including securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps, indices, baskets and other financial instruments and products for its own accounts or for the
accounts of their customers, and have other direct and indirect interests, in the global fixed income, currency, commodity, equity, bank loan and other markets in which we invest or may invest. Such additional businesses and interests will likely
give rise to potential conflicts of interest and may restrict the way we operate our business. For example, (1) we may not be able to conduct transactions relating to investments in portfolio companies because our Investment Adviser is not
permitted to obtain or use material nonpublic information in effecting purchases and sales in public securities transactions for us or (2) Goldman Sachs, the clients it advises, and its personnel may engage (or consider engaging) in commercial
arrangements or transactions with us (subject to any limitations under the law), and/or may compete for commercial arrangements or transactions in the same types of companies, assets, securities or other assets or instruments as us. Transactions by,
advice to and activities of such accounts (including potentially Goldman Sachs acting on a proprietary basis), may involve the same or related companies, securities or other assets or instruments as those in which we invest and may negatively affect
us (including our ability to engage in a transaction or other activities) or the prices or terms at which our transactions or other activities may be effected. For example, Goldman Sachs may be engaged to provide advice to an account that is
considering entering into a transaction with us, and Goldman Sachs may advise the account not to pursue the transaction with us, or otherwise in connection with a potential transaction provide advice to the account that would be adverse to us. See
Our Investment Adviser, its principals, investment professionals and employees and the members of its Investment Committee have certain conflicts of interest and Our ability to enter into transactions with our
affiliates is restricted. In addition, GS & Co. may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including the limitations set forth in Section 57(k) of the 1940 Act, receive compensation from us or from the borrowers if we make
any investments based on opportunities that such employees or personnel of GS & Co. have referred to us. Such compensation might incentivize GS & Co. or its employees or personnel to refer opportunities or to recommend investments
that might otherwise be unsuitable for us. Further, any such compensation paid by us, or paid by the borrower (to which we would otherwise have been entitled) in connection with such investments, may negatively impact our returns. Furthermore,
Goldman Sachs is currently, and in the future expects to be, raising capital for new public and private investment vehicles that have, or when formed will have, the primary purpose of middle-market direct lending. These investment vehicles, as well
as existing investment vehicles (including GS PMMC and GS MMLC), will compete with us for investments. Although our Investment Adviser and its affiliates will endeavor to allocate investment opportunities among their clients, including us, in a fair
and equitable manner and consistent with applicable allocation procedures, it is expected that, in the future, we may not be given the opportunity to participate in investments made by other Accounts or that we may participate in such investments to
a lesser extent due to participation by such other Accounts.

In addition, Goldman Sachs or another investment account or vehicle managed
or controlled by Goldman Sachs may hold securities, loans or other instruments of a portfolio company in a different class or a different part of the capital structure than securities, loans or other instruments of such portfolio company held by us.
As a result, Goldman Sachs or such other investment account or vehicle may pursue or enforce rights or activities, or refrain from pursuing or enforcing rights or activities, on behalf of its own account, that could have an adverse effect on us. In
addition, to the extent Goldman Sachs has invested in a portfolio company for its own account, Goldman Sachs may limit the transactions engaged in by us with respect to such portfolio company or issuer for reputational, legal, regulatory or other
reasons.

Goldman Sachs has influence, and may continue to exert influence, over our management and affairs and over most votes
requiring stockholder approval.

Group Inc. has owned a significant portion of our common stock since the
inception of our operations. As of December 31, 2019, Group Inc. owned 16.06% of our outstanding common stock. GS & Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Group Inc., has acquired shares of our common stock pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, and may in the future acquire additional shares of our common stock in the open market, but GS & Co. will limit its collective ownership with Group Inc. to 19.9% of our outstanding common
stock. Therefore, Group Inc. is able to exert, and may be able to continue to exert, influence over our management and policies and have significant voting influence on most votes requiring stockholder approval. This concentration of ownership may
also have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of us, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of us and might ultimately affect the market price of
our common stock. Our Investment Adviser has the authority to vote securities held by Group Inc., including on matters that may present a conflict of interest between our Investment Adviser and other stockholders.

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

Our Board of Directors has the authority to modify or waive certain of our operating policies and
strategies without prior notice (except as required by the Investment Company Act or other applicable laws) and without stockholder approval. However, absent stockholder approval, we may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or
withdraw our election as, a BDC. We cannot predict the effect any changes to our current operating policies and strategies would have on our business, operating results and market price of our securities. Nevertheless, the effects may adversely
affect our business and impact our ability to make distributions or make payments with respect to our indebtedness.

Changes in laws
or regulations governing our operations or the operations of our portfolio companies, changes in the interpretation thereof or newly enacted laws or regulations, or any failure by us or our portfolio companies to comply with these laws or
regulations, could require changes to certain of our or our portfolio companies business practices, negatively impact our or our portfolio companies operations, cash flows or financial condition, impose additional costs on us or our
portfolio companies or otherwise adversely affect our business or the business of our portfolio companies.

We and
our portfolio companies are subject to regulation at the local, state, federal and, in some cases, foreign levels. These laws and regulations, as well as their interpretation, are likely to change from time to time, and new laws and regulations may
be enacted. Accordingly, any change in these laws or regulations, changes in their interpretation, or newly enacted laws or regulations, or any failure by us or our portfolio companies to comply with these laws or regulations, could require changes
to certain of our or our portfolio companies business practices, negatively impact our or our portfolio companies operations, cash flows or financial condition, impose additional costs on us or our portfolio companies or otherwise
adversely affect our business or the business of our portfolio companies. In addition to the legal, tax and regulatory changes that are expected to occur, there may be unanticipated changes and uncertainty regarding any such changes. The legal, tax
and regulatory environment for BDCs, investment advisers and the instruments that they utilize (including derivative instruments) is continuously evolving. In addition, there is significant uncertainty regarding certain legislation and the
regulations that have been adopted and future regulations that will need to be adopted pursuant to such legislation) and, consequently, the full impact that such legislation will ultimately have on us and the markets in which we trade and invest is
not fully known. Such uncertainty and any resulting confusion may itself be detrimental to the efficient functioning of the markets and the success of certain investment strategies.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) impacts many aspects of the
financial services industry. Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act have been implemented, while others will still require final rulemaking by regulatory authorities. While the full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on us and our portfolio
companies may not be known for an extended period of time, the Dodd-Frank Act, including current rules and regulations and proposed rules implementing its provisions and the interpretation of those rules, along with other legislative and regulatory
proposals directed at the financial services industry that are proposed or pending in the U.S. Congress, may negatively impact the operations, cash flows or financial condition of us and our portfolio companies, impose additional costs on us and our
portfolio companies, intensify the regulatory supervision of us and our portfolio companies or otherwise adversely affect our business or the business of our portfolio companies.

Over the last several years, there also has been an increase in regulatory attention to the extension of credit outside of the
traditional banking sector, raising the possibility that some portion of the non-bank financial sector will be subject to new regulation. While it cannot be known at this time whether any regulation will be
implemented or what form it will take, increased regulation of non-bank credit extension could negatively impact our operations, cash flows or financial condition, impose additional costs on us, intensify the
regulatory supervision of us or otherwise adversely affect our business.

On March 23, 2018, President Trump signed into law the Small Business
Credit Availability Act, which modified the applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act to reduce the required asset coverage ratio applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150%, subject to certain approval and disclosure requirements (including
either stockholder approval or approval of both a majority of the directors who have no financial interest in the matter and a majority of the directors who are not interested persons, as defined in the Investment Company Act, of the
BDC). On May 1, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the submission to stockholders of a proposal to approve the application of the modified asset coverage requirements at the Companys 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. On
June 15, 2018, our stockholders approved the application of the modified asset coverage requirements in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act to us. See Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability
to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital. These constraints may hinder our Investment Advisers ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and to achieve our investment objective.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act could have a negative effect on us, our subsidiaries, our portfolio companies and the holders of our
Securities.

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed H.R. 1 (the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) into
law. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act makes significant changes to the United States income tax rules applicable to both individuals and entities, including corporations. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act includes provisions that, among other things, reduce the
U.S. corporate tax rate, introduce a capital investment deduction, limit the interest deduction, limit the use of net operating losses to offset future taxable income and make extensive changes to the U.S. international tax system. The Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act is complex and far-reaching, and we cannot predict the impact its enactment will have on us, our subsidiaries, our portfolio companies and the holders of our securities.

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

Our Investment Adviser has the right, under the Investment Management Agreement, to resign at any time upon 60 days
written notice, regardless of whether we have found a replacement. If our Investment Adviser resigns, we may not be able to find a new external investment adviser or hire internal management with similar expertise and ability to provide the same or
equivalent services on acceptable terms within 60 days, or at all. If we are unable to do so quickly, our operations are likely to experience a disruption, our financial condition, business and results of operations as well as our ability to pay
distributions are likely to be adversely affected, and the market price of our securities may decline.

Our Investment
Advisers responsibilities and its liability to us are limited under the Investment Management Agreement, which may lead our Investment Adviser to act in a riskier manner on our behalf than it would when acting for its own account.

Our Investment Adviser has not assumed any responsibility to us other than to render the services described in the Investment
Management Agreement, and it will not be responsible for any action of our Board of Directors in declining to follow our Investment Advisers advice or recommendations. Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, our Investment Adviser and
its directors, members, stockholders, partners, officers, employees or controlling persons will not be liable to us for its acts under the Investment Management Agreement, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of its duties, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Investment Management Agreement. These protections may lead our Investment Adviser to act in a riskier manner when acting on our behalf than it would when
acting for its own account. See Our Investment Adviser will be paid the Management Fee even if the value of your investment declines and our Investment Advisers Incentive Fee may create incentives for it to make certain
kinds of investments.

Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates is restricted.

As a BDC, we are prohibited under the Investment Company Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with our
affiliates without the prior approval of a majority of our Independent Directors who have no financial interest in the transaction, or in some cases, the prior approval of the SEC. For example, any person that owns, directly or indirectly, 5% or
more of our outstanding voting securities is deemed our affiliate for purposes of the Investment Company Act and, if this is the only reason such person is our affiliate, we are generally prohibited from buying any asset from or selling any asset
(other than our capital stock) to such affiliate, absent the prior approval of such directors. The Investment Company Act also prohibits joint transactions with an affiliate, which could include joint investments in the same portfolio
company, without approval of our Independent Directors or in some cases the prior approval of the SEC. Moreover, except in certain limited circumstances, we are prohibited from buying any asset from or selling any asset to a holder of more than 25%
of our voting securities, absent prior approval of the SEC. The analysis of whether a particular transaction constitutes a joint transaction requires a review of the relevant facts and circumstances then existing.

In certain circumstances, negotiated co-investments may be made only pursuant to an
order from the SEC permitting us to do so. On January 4, 2017, we received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits us to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates
(including GS PMMC, GS MMLC and GS PMMC II), each of whose investment adviser is GSAM, in a manner consistent with our investment objectives, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements and pursuant to the
conditions required by the exemptive relief. As a result of such order, there could be significant overlap in our investment portfolio and the investment portfolios of GS PMMC, GS MMLC, GS PMMC II and/or other funds managed by our Investment
Adviser. Additionally, if our Investment Adviser forms other funds in the future, we may co-invest on a concurrent basis with such other affiliates, subject to compliance with the exemptive relief, applicable
regulations and regulatory guidance, as well as applicable allocation procedures.

We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly results.

We could experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including interest rates
payable on debt investments we make, default rates on such investments, 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 certain
markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods or the full fiscal year.

We are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates.

Our debt investments may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or
the Prime Rate. General interest rate fluctuations may have a substantial negative impact on our investments, the value of our securities and our rate of return on invested capital. Currently, most of our floating rate investments are linked to
LIBOR and it is unclear how increased regulatory oversight the future of LIBOR may affect market liquidity and the value of the financial obligations to be held by or issued to us that are linked to LIBOR, or how such changes could affect our
investments and transactions and financial condition or results of operations. Central banks and regulators in a number of major jurisdictions (for example, the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Switzerland and Japan) have convened
working groups to find, and implement the transition to, suitable replacements for interbank offered rates (IBORs). The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has announced that it intends not to compel panel banks to
contribute to LIBOR after 2021. The E.U. Benchmarks Regulation imposed conditions under which only compliant benchmarks may be used in new contracts after 2021. To identify a successor rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, the Alternative Reference Rates
Committee (ARRC), a U.S.-based group convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was formed. The ARRC has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as its preferred alternative
rate for LIBOR. SOFR is a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by the U.S. Treasury securities, and is based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. Although SOFR appears to be the preferred
replacement rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR, at this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of any such changes, any establishment of alternative reference rates or other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United States, United Kingdom
or elsewhere. The elimination of LIBOR or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR or alternative reference rates could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any LIBOR-linked securities, loans, and
other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us. In addition, if LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate the credit agreements extending beyond 2021 with our portfolio companies that utilize LIBOR as a factor in
determining the interest rate, in order to replace LIBOR with the new standard that is established, which may have an adverse effect on our overall financial condition or results of operations. As such, some or all of these credit agreements may
bear a lower interest rate, which would adversely impact our financial condition or results of operations. Moreover, if LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate certain terms of our Truist Revolving Credit Facility. If we are unable to do
so, amounts drawn under the Truist Revolving Credit Facility may bear interest at a higher rate, which would increase the cost of our borrowings and, in turn, affect our results of operations.

Because we have borrowed money, and may issue preferred stock to finance investments, our net investment income depends, in
part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds or pay distributions on preferred stock and the rate that our investments yield. 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.

A reduction in the interest rates on new investments
relative to interest rates on current investments could also have an adverse impact on our net interest income. However, an increase in interest rates could decrease the value of any investments we hold which earn fixed interest rates, including
subordinated loans, senior and junior secured and unsecured debt securities and loans and high yield bonds, and also could increase our interest expense, thereby decreasing our net income. Also, an increase in interest rates available to investors
could make an investment in our common stock less attractive if we are not able to increase our dividend rate, which could reduce the value of our common stock.

In periods of rising interest rates, to the extent we borrow money subject to a floating interest rate, our cost of funds
would increase, which could reduce our net investment income. Further, rising interest rates could also adversely affect our performance if such increases cause our borrowing costs to rise at a rate in excess of the rate that our investments yield.
Further, rising interest rates could also adversely affect our performance if we hold investments with floating interest rates, subject to specified minimum interest rates (such as a LIBOR floor), while at the same time engaging in borrowings
subject to floating interest rates not subject to such minimums. In such a scenario, rising interest rates may increase our interest expense, even though our interest income from investments is not increasing in a corresponding manner as a result of
such minimum interest rates.

If general interest rates rise, there is a risk that the portfolio companies in which we
hold floating rate securities will be unable to pay escalating interest amounts, which could result in a default under their loan documents with us. Rising interest rates could also cause portfolio companies to shift cash from other productive uses
to the payment of interest, which may have a material adverse effect on their business and operations and could, over time, lead to increased defaults. In addition, rising interest rates may increase pressure on us to provide fixed rate loans to our
portfolio companies, which could adversely affect our net investment income, as increases in our cost of borrowed funds would not be accompanied by increased interest income from such fixed-rate investments.

A change in the general level of interest rates can be expected to lead to a
change in the interest rate we receive on many of our debt investments. Accordingly, a change in the interest rate could make it easier for us to meet or exceed the performance threshold in the Investment Management Agreement and may result in a
substantial increase in the amount of incentive fees payable to our Investment Adviser with respect to the portion of the Incentive Fee based on income.

The continued uncertainty related to the sustainability and pace of economic recovery in the U.S. and globally could have a negative
impact on our business.

Our business is directly influenced by the economic cycle, and could be negatively
impacted by a downturn in economic activity in the U.S. as well as globally. Fiscal and monetary actions taken by U.S. and non-U.S. government and regulatory authorities could have a material adverse impact on
our business. To the extent uncertainty regarding the U.S. or global economy negatively impacts consumer confidence and consumer credit factors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Moreover,
Federal Reserve policy, including with respect to certain interest rates and the decision to end its quantitative easing policy, along with the general policies of the current Presidential administration, may also adversely affect the value,
volatility and liquidity of dividend- and interest-paying securities. Market volatility, rising interest rates and/or a return to unfavorable economic conditions could adversely affect our business.

Our activities may be limited as a result of potentially being deemed to be controlled by a bank holding company.

Goldman Sachs is a BHC under the BHCA and therefore subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve. In addition,
Goldman Sachs is a FHC under the BHCA, which is a status available to BHCs that meet certain criteria. FHCs may engage in a broader range of activities than BHCs that are not FHCs. However, the activities of FHCs and their affiliates remain subject
to certain restrictions imposed by the BHCA and related regulations. Because Goldman Sachs may be deemed to control us within the meaning of the BHCA, these restrictions could apply to us as well. Accordingly, the BHCA and other
applicable banking laws, rules, regulations and guidelines, and their interpretation and administration by the appropriate regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve, may restrict our investments, transactions and operations and may restrict
the transactions and relationships between our Investment Adviser, Goldman Sachs and their affiliates, on the one hand, and us on the other hand. For example, the BHCA regulations applicable to Goldman Sachs and us may, among other things, restrict
our ability to make certain investments or the size of certain investments, impose a maximum holding period on some or all of our investments and restrict our and our Investment Advisers ability to participate in the management and operations
of the companies in which we invest. In addition, certain BHCA regulations may require aggregation of the positions owned, held or controlled by related entities. Thus, in certain circumstances, positions held by Goldman Sachs and its affiliates
(including our Investment Adviser) for client and proprietary accounts may need to be aggregated with positions held by us. In this case, where BHCA regulations impose a cap on the amount of a position that may be held, Goldman Sachs may utilize
available capacity to make investments for its proprietary accounts or for the accounts of other clients, which may require us to limit and/or liquidate certain investments.

These restrictions may materially adversely affect us by, among other things, affecting our Investment Advisers ability
to pursue certain strategies within our investment program or trade in certain securities. In addition, Goldman Sachs may cease in the future to qualify as an FHC, which may subject us to additional restrictions. Moreover, there can be no assurance
that the bank regulatory requirements applicable to Goldman Sachs and us, or the interpretation thereof, will not change, or that any such change will not have a material adverse effect on us.

Goldman Sachs may in the future, in its sole discretion and without notice to investors, engage in activities impacting us
and/or our Investment Adviser in order to comply with the BHCA or other legal requirements applicable to, or reduce or eliminate the impact or applicability of any bank regulations or other restrictions on, Goldman Sachs, us or other funds and
accounts managed by our Investment Adviser and its affiliates. Goldman Sachs may seek to accomplish this result by causing GSAM to resign as our Investment Adviser, voting for changes to our Board of Directors, causing Goldman Sachs personnel to
resign from our Board of Directors, reducing the amount of Goldman Sachs investment in us (if any), revoking our right to use the Goldman Sachs name or any combination of the foregoing, or by such other means as it determines in its sole
discretion. Any replacement investment adviser appointed by us may be unaffiliated with Goldman Sachs.

Recent Commodity Futures Trading Commission rules may have a negative impact on us and
our Investment Adviser.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC) and the SEC have issued
final rules establishing that certain swap transactions are subject to CFTC regulation. Engaging in such swap or other commodity interest transactions such as futures contracts or options on futures contracts may cause us to fall within the
definition of commodity pool under the Commodity Exchange Act and related CFTC regulations. Our Investment Adviser has claimed relief from CFTC registration and regulation as a commodity pool operator pursuant to CFTC Rule 4.5 with
respect to our operations, with the result that we will be limited in our ability to use futures contracts or options on futures contracts or engage in swap transactions. Specifically, CFTC Rule 4.5 imposes strict limitations on using such
derivatives other than for hedging purposes, whereby the use of derivatives not used solely for hedging purposes is generally limited to situations where (i) the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish such positions does
not exceed five percent of the liquidation value of our portfolio, after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contracts it has entered into; or (ii) the aggregate net notional value of such derivatives does
not exceed 100% of the liquidation value of our portfolio. Moreover, we anticipate entering into transactions involving such derivatives to a very limited extent solely for hedging purposes or otherwise within the limitations of CFTC Rule 4.5.

We are dependent on information systems, and systems failures, as well as operating failures, could significantly disrupt our business,
which may, in turn, negatively affect our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Our business
is dependent on our Investment Advisers and third parties communications and information systems. Any failure or interruption of those systems, including as a result of the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement or 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.
| | - |  | --------------

In addition to our dependence on information systems, poor operating performance by our service providers could adversely
impact us.

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

Terrorist attacks, acts of war, global
health emergencies or natural disasters may impact the businesses in which we invest and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Terrorist acts, acts of war, global health emergencies or natural disasters may disrupt our operations, as well as the
operations of the businesses in which we invest. Such acts have created, and continue to create, economic and political uncertainties and have contributed to global economic instability. Future terrorist activities, military or security operations,
global health emergencies or natural disasters could further weaken the domestic/global economies and create additional uncertainties, which may negatively impact the businesses in which we invest directly or indirectly and, in turn, could have a
material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. Losses from terrorist attacks, global health emergencies and natural disasters are generally uninsurable.

Cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents may adversely affect our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or
corruption of our confidential information and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of our
information resources. These incidents may be an intentional attack or an unintentional event and could involve a third party or our own personnel gaining unauthorized access to our information systems for purposes of obtaining ransom payments,
misappropriating assets, stealing confidential information, corrupting data or causing operational disruption. The result of these incidents may include disrupted operations, misstated or unreliable financial data, liability for loss or
misappropriation of data, stolen assets or information, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, litigation and damage to our reputation or business relationships. As our reliance on technology has increased, so have the risks posed
to our information systems, both internal and those provided by Goldman Sachs and third-party service providers. Goldman Sachs and these third-party service providers have implemented processes, procedures and internal controls to help mitigate
cybersecurity risks and cyber intrusions, but these measures, as well as our increased awareness of the nature and extent of a risk of a cyber incident, do not guarantee that a cyber incident will not occur and/or that our financial results,
operations or confidential information will not be negatively impacted by such an incident.

Our ability to enter into transactions
involving derivatives and financial commitment transactions may be limited.

In November 2019, the SEC published a
proposed rule regarding the ability of a BDC (or a registered investment company) to use derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations (except reverse repurchase agreements and similar financing transactions).
If adopted as proposed, BDCs that use derivatives would be subject to a value-at-risk leverage limit, certain other derivatives risk management program and testing
requirements and requirements related to board reporting. These new requirements would apply unless the BDC qualified as a limited derivatives user, as defined in the SECs proposal. A BDC that enters into reverse repurchase
agreements or similar financing transactions would need to aggregate the amount of indebtedness associated with the reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions with the aggregate amount of any other senior securities representing
indebtedness when calculating the BDCs asset coverage ratio. Under the proposed rule, a BDC may enter into an unfunded commitment agreement that is not a derivatives transaction, such as an agreement to provide financing to a portfolio
company, if the BDC has a reasonable belief, at the time it enters into such an agreement, that it will have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet its obligations with respect to all of its unfunded commitment agreements, in each case as it
becomes due. If the BDC cannot meet this test, it is required to treat unfunded commitments as a derivatives transaction subject to the requirements of the rule. Collectively, these proposed requirements, if adopted, may limit our ability to use
derivatives and/or enter into certain other financial contracts.

The United Kingdom referendum decision to leave the European Union may create
significant risks and uncertainty for global markets and our investments.

The decision made in the United Kingdom
referendum in June 2016 to leave the European Union (commonly known as Brexit) has led to volatility in global financial markets, and in particular in the markets of the United Kingdom and across Europe, and may also lead to weakening in
political, regulatory, consumer, corporate and financial confidence in the United Kingdom and Europe. The United Kingdom left the European Union on January 31, 2020, governed by transitional terms that will expire on December 31, 2020. During this
transition phase, the United Kingdom and the EU will seek to negotiate and finalize a new, more permanent trade deal. Due to political uncertainty, it is not possible to anticipate whether the United Kingdom and the EU will be able to agree on and
implement a new trade agreement or what the nature of such trade arrangement will be. In the absence of such an agreement there would be no transitional provisions the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union would be based on
the World Trade Organization rules. The process for the United Kingdom to exit the European Union, and the longer term economic, legal, political, regulatory and social framework to be put in place between the United Kingdom and the European Union
remain unclear and may lead to ongoing political and economic uncertainty and periods of exacerbated volatility in both the United Kingdom and in wider European markets for some time. The mid-to-long term uncertainty may have a negative effect on
the performance of any investments located or with operations in the United Kingdom or Europe. Additionally, the decision made in the United Kingdom referendum may lead to a call for similar referenda in other European jurisdictions which may cause
increased economic volatility and uncertainty in the European and global markets. This volatility and uncertainty may have an adverse effect on the economy generally and on the ability of us and our portfolio companies to execute our respective
strategies and to receive attractive returns.

In particular, currency volatility may mean that the returns of us and our
portfolio companies are adversely affected by market movements and may make it more difficult, or more expensive, for us to implement appropriate currency hedging. Fluctuations in the value of the British pound and/or the euro along with the
potential downgrading of the United Kingdoms sovereign credit rating, may also have an impact on the performance of our portfolio companies located in the United Kingdom or Europe.

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

Private funds that are excluded from the definition of investment company either pursuant to Section 3(c)(1)
or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act are restricted from acquiring directly or through a controlled entity more than 3% of our total outstanding voting stock (measured at the time of the acquisition, including through conversion of convertible
securities). Investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act and BDCs are also subject to this restriction as well as other limitations under the Investment Company Act that would restrict the amount that they are able to invest in
our securities. As a result, certain investors may be precluded from acquiring additional shares, at a time that they might desire to do so.

Risks
Relating to Our Portfolio Company Investments

Our investments are very risky and highly speculative.

We invest primarily through direct originations of secured debt, including first lien, unitranche, and last-out portions of such loans; second lien debt; unsecured debt, including mezzanine debt; and select equity investments. The securities in which we invest typically are not rated by any rating agency, and if they
were rated, they would be below investment grade (rated lower than Baa3 by Moodys Investors Service and lower than BBB- by Fitch Ratings or S&P), which is an indication of
having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuers capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Investments that are rated below investment grade are sometimes referred to as junk bonds, high yield
bonds or leveraged loans. Therefore, our investments may result in an above average amount of risk and volatility or loss of principal. We also may invest in other assets, including U.S. government securities and structured
securities. These investments entail additional risks that could adversely affect our investment returns.

Secured
Debt. When we make a secured debt investment, we generally take a security interest in the available assets of the portfolio company, including the equity interests of any subsidiaries, which we expect to help mitigate the risk that we will not
be repaid. However, there is a risk that the collateral securing our debt investment may decrease in value over time, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of the
business and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of the portfolio company to raise additional capital. In some circumstances, our lien could be subordinated to claims of other creditors, such as trade 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 investment. Consequently, the fact
that our debt is secured does not guarantee that we will receive principal and interest payments according to the debt investments terms, or at all, or that we will be able to collect on the loan, in full or at all, should we enforce our
remedies.



40



---



Unsecured Debt, including Mezzanine Debt. Our unsecured debt
investments, including mezzanine debt investments, generally will be subordinated to senior debt in the event of an insolvency. This may result in an above average amount of risk and loss of principal.

Equity Investments. When we invest in secured debt or unsecured debt, including mezzanine debt, we may acquire equity
securities from the company in which we make the investment. In addition, we may invest in the equity securities of portfolio companies independent of any debt investment. Our goal is ultimately to dispose of such equity interests and realize gains
upon our disposition of such interests. However, the equity interests we hold 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.

Investing in middle-market
companies involves a number of significant risks.

Investing in middle-market companies involves a number of
significant risks, including:



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



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



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



| |  |  | such companies 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;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | there is generally little public information about these companies, they and their financial information are
not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other regulations that govern public companies and we may be unable to uncover all material information about these companies, which may prevent us from making a fully informed
investment decision and cause us to lose money on our investments;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our executive officers, directors and Investment Adviser may, in the ordinary course of business, be named as
defendants in litigation arising from our investments in the portfolio companies; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | such companies may have difficulty accessing the capital markets to meet future capital needs, which may limit
their ability to grow or to repay their outstanding indebtedness, including any debt securities held by us, upon maturity.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

The majority of our investments are, and
are expected to continue to be, in debt instruments that do not have readily ascertainable market prices. The fair value of assets that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are determined in good faith under
procedures adopted by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors utilizes the services of independent third-party valuation firms (Independent Valuation Advisors) in determining the fair value of a portion of the securities in our
portfolio as of each quarter end. Investment professionals from our Investment Adviser also prepare portfolio company valuations using sources and/or proprietary models depending on the availability of information on our assets and the type of asset
being valued, all in accordance with our valuation policy. The participation of our Investment Adviser in our valuation process could result in a conflict of interest, since the Management Fee is based in part on our gross assets and also because
our Investment Adviser is receiving a performance-based Incentive Fee.

Because fair valuations, and particularly fair
valuations of private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and are often based to a large extent on estimates, comparisons and qualitative evaluations of private information, it may be
more difficult for investors to value accurately our investments and could lead to undervaluation or overvaluation of our common stock. In addition, the valuation of these types of securities may result in substantial write-downs and earnings
volatility.

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

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

Various restrictions render our investments relatively illiquid, which may adversely affect our business. As we
generally make investments in private companies, substantially all of these investments are subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or are otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities. Our Investment Adviser is not permitted to
obtain or use material non-public information in effecting purchases and sales in public securities transactions for us, which could create an additional limitation on the liquidity of our investments. The
illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell such investments if the need arises. Therefore, if we are required to or desire to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we could realize significantly less than the
value at which we have recorded our investments or could be unable to dispose of our investments in a timely manner or at such times as we deem advisable.

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

We are classified as a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act, which means that we are not limited by the Investment Company Act with respect to the proportion of our assets that we may invest in securities of a single issuer, excluding limitations on investments in certain other
financial and investment companies. To the extent that we assume large positions in the securities of a small number of issuers or industries, our NAV 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. In addition, the aggregate returns we realize
may be significantly adversely affected if a small number of investments perform poorly or if we need to write down the value of any one investment. Additionally, a downturn in any particular industry in which we are invested could significantly
affect our aggregate returns. Further, any industry in which we are meaningfully concentrated at any given time could be subject to significant risks that could adversely impact our aggregate returns. . For example, as of December 31, 2019,
Health Care Providers & Services, together with Health Care Technology and Health Care Equipment & Supplies, represented 23.1% of our portfolio at fair value. Our investments in Health Care Providers & Services, Health Care
Technology and Health Care Equipment & Supplies are subject to substantial risks, including, but not limited to, the risk that the laws and regulations governing the business of health care companies, and interpretations thereof, may change
frequently. Current or future laws and regulations could force our portfolio companies engaged in health care, to change their policies related to how they operate, restrict revenue, change costs, change reserve levels and change business practices.
In addition, as of December 31, 2019, Software represented 8.2% of our portfolio at fair value. Our investments in Software is subject to substantial risks, including, but not limited to, intense competition, changing technology, shifting user
needs, frequent introductions of new products and services, competitors in different industries and ranging from large established companies to emerging startups, decreasing average selling prices of products and services resulting from rapid
technological changes, and various legal and regulatory risks.

We may not be in a position to exercise control over our portfolio
companies or to prevent decisions by management of our portfolio companies that could decrease the value of our investments.

We do not generally hold controlling equity positions in our portfolio companies. While we are obligated as a BDC to offer to
make managerial assistance available to our portfolio companies, there can be no assurance that management personnel of our portfolio companies will accept or rely on such assistance. To the extent that we do not hold a controlling equity interest
in a portfolio company, we are subject to the risk that such portfolio company may make business decisions with which we disagree, and the stockholders and management of such portfolio company may take risks or otherwise act in ways that are adverse
to our interests. Due to the lack of liquidity for the debt and equity investments that we typically hold in our portfolio companies, we may not be able to dispose of our investments in the event we disagree with the actions of a portfolio company
and may therefore suffer a decrease in the value of our investments.

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

We may be subject to risks associated with investments in real estate loans.

Our Investment Adviser, on our behalf, may periodically invest in loans related to real estate and real
estate-related assets, and such investments will be subject to the risks inherent to investment in real estate-related assets generally. These risks include, but are not limited to, regional, national and international economic conditions, the
supply and demand for properties, the financial resources of tenants, buyers and sellers of properties, changes in building, environmental, zoning and other laws and regulations, changes in real property tax rates, changes in interest rates and the
availability of financing, which may render the sale or refinancing of properties difficult or impracticable, environmental liabilities, uninsured losses, acts of God, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, acts of war (declared and undeclared),
strikes and other factors which are beyond the control of our Investment Adviser and us.

We may be subject to risks associated with
investments in energy companies.

The energy industry has been in a period of disruption and volatility that has
been characterized by fluctuations in oil and gas prices and production levels. This disruption and volatility has led to, and future disruptions and volatility may lead to, decreases in the credit quality and performance of our potential debt and
equity investments in energy companies, which could, in turn, negatively impact the fair value of our investments in energy companies. Any prolonged decline in oil and gas prices or production levels could adversely impact the ability of our



42



---



potential portfolio companies in the energy industry to satisfy financial or operating covenants that may be imposed by us and other lenders or to make payments to us as and when due, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, energy companies are subject to supply and demand fluctuations in the markets in which they operate, which are impacted by numerous factors,
including weather, use of renewable fuel sources, natural disasters, governmental regulation and general economic conditions, in addition to the effects of increasing regulation and general operational risks, any of which could have a material
adverse effect on the performance and value of our energy-related investments as well as our cash flows from such investments.

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

Following an initial investment in a portfolio company, we may make additional investments in that portfolio company as follow-on investments, in order to:



| |  |  | increase or maintain in whole or in part our equity ownership percentage;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | exercise warrants, options or convertible securities that were acquired in the original or subsequent
financing; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | attempt to preserve or enhance the value of our investment.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------

We may elect not to make follow-on investments or may lack sufficient funds to make
those investments.

We will have the discretion to make any follow-on investments,
subject to the availability of capital resources. The failure to make follow-on investments may, in some circumstances, jeopardize the continued viability of a portfolio company and our initial investment, or
may result in a missed opportunity for us to increase our participation in a successful operation. Even if we have sufficient capital to make a desired follow-on investment, we may elect not to make a follow-on investment because we may not want to increase our concentration of risk, because we prefer other opportunities or because we are inhibited by compliance with BDC requirements, compliance with covenants
contained in our Revolving Credit Facility or compliance with the requirements for maintenance of our RIC status.

Our portfolio
companies may prepay loans, which may reduce stated yields in the future if the capital returned cannot be invested in transactions with equal or greater expected yields.

Certain of the loans we make are prepayable at any time, with some prepayable at no premium to par. We cannot predict when
such loans may be prepaid. Whether a loan is prepaid will depend both on the continued positive performance of the portfolio company and the existence of favorable financing market conditions that permit such company to replace existing financing
with less expensive capital. In periods of rising interest rates, the risk of prepayment of floating rate loans may increase if other financing sources are available. As market conditions change frequently, it is unknown when, and if, this may be
possible for each portfolio company. In the case of some of these loans, having the loan prepaid early may reduce the achievable yield for us in the future below the current yield disclosed for our portfolio if the capital returned cannot be
invested in transactions with equal or greater expected yields.

Investments in common and preferred equity securities, many of
which are illiquid with no readily available market, involve a substantial degree of risk.

Although common stock
has historically generated higher average total returns than fixed income securities over the long term, common stock also has experienced significantly more volatility in those returns. Our equity investments may fail to appreciate and may decline
in value or become worthless, and our ability to recover our investment will depend on our portfolio companys success. Investments in equity securities involve a number of significant risks, including:



| |  |  | any equity investment we make in a portfolio company could be subject to further dilution as a result of the
issuance of additional equity interests and to serious risks as a junior security that will be subordinate to all indebtedness (including trade creditors) or senior securities in the event that the issuer is unable to meet its obligations or becomes
subject to a bankruptcy process;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to the extent that the portfolio company requires additional capital and is unable to obtain it, we may not
recover our investment; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | in some cases, equity securities in which we invest will not pay current dividends, and our ability to realize
a return on our investment, as well as to recover our investment, will be dependent on the success of the portfolio company.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if the portfolio company is successful, our ability to realize the value of our investment may be dependent on the
occurrence of a liquidity event, such as a public offering or the sale of the portfolio company. It is likely to take a significant amount of time before a liquidity event occurs or we can otherwise sell our investment. In addition, the equity
securities we receive or invest in may be subject to restrictions on resale during periods in which it could be advantageous to sell them.

There are special risks associated with investing in preferred securities, including:



| |  |  | preferred securities may include provisions that permit the issuer, at its discretion, to defer distributions
for a stated period without any adverse consequences to the issuer. If we own a preferred security that is deferring its distributions, we may be required to report income for tax purposes before we receive such distributions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



43



---



| |  |  | preferred securities are subordinated to debt in terms of priority to income and liquidation payments, and
therefore will be subject to greater credit risk than debt;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | preferred securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stock or U.S.
government securities; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | generally, preferred security holders have no voting rights with respect to the issuing company, subject to
limited exceptions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additionally, when we invest in debt securities, we may acquire warrants or other
equity securities as well. Our goal is ultimately to dispose of such equity interests and realize gains upon our disposition of such interests. However, the equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value.
Accordingly, we may not be able to realize gains from our equity interests and any gains that we do realize on the disposition of any equity interests may not be sufficient to offset any other losses we experience.

We may invest, to the extent permitted by law, in the equity securities of investment funds that are operating pursuant to
certain exceptions to the Investment Company Act and, to the extent we so invest, will bear our ratable share of any such companys expenses, including management and performance fees. We will also remain obligated to pay the Management Fee and
Incentive Fee to our Investment Adviser with respect to the assets invested in the securities and instruments of such companies. With respect to each of these investments, each of our common stockholders will bear his or her share of the Management
Fee and Incentive Fee due to our Investment Adviser as well as indirectly bearing the management and performance fees and other expenses of any such investment funds or advisers.

By originating loans to companies that are experiencing significant financial or business difficulties, we may be exposed to distressed
lending risks.

As part of our lending activities, we may originate loans to companies that are experiencing
significant financial or business difficulties, including companies involved in bankruptcy or other reorganization and liquidation proceedings. Although the terms of such financing may result in significant financial returns to us, they involve a
substantial degree of risk. The level of analytical sophistication, both financial and legal, necessary for successful financing to companies experiencing significant business and financial difficulties is unusually high. There is no assurance that
we will correctly evaluate the value of the assets collateralizing our loans or the prospects for a successful reorganization or similar action. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a company that we fund, we may lose all or
part of the amounts advanced to the borrower or may be required to accept collateral with a value less than the amount of the loan advanced by us to the borrower.

We may be exposed to special risks associated with bankruptcy cases.

Many of the events within a bankruptcy case are adversarial and often beyond the control of the creditors. While creditors
generally are afforded an opportunity to object to significant actions, there can be no assurance that a bankruptcy court would not approve actions that may be contrary to our interests. Furthermore, there are instances where creditors can lose
their ranking and priority if they are considered to have taken over management of a borrower.

The reorganization of a
company can involve substantial legal, professional and administrative costs to a lender and the borrower; it is subject to unpredictable and lengthy delays; and during the process a companys competitive position may erode, key management may
depart and a company may not be able to invest its capital adequately. In some cases, the debtor company may not be able to reorganize and may be required to liquidate assets. The debt of companies in financial reorganization will, in most cases,
not pay current interest, may not accrue interest during reorganization and may be adversely affected by an erosion of the issuers fundamental value.

In addition, lenders can be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by them where they become too involved in the
borrowers business or exercise control over the borrower. For example, we could become subject to a lenders liability claim, if, among other things, the borrower requests significant managerial assistance from us and we provide such
assistance as contemplated by the Investment Company Act.

Declines in market prices and liquidity in the corporate debt markets can
result in significant net unrealized depreciation of our portfolio, which in turn would affect our results of operations.

As a BDC, we are required to carry our investments at market value or, if no market value is ascertainable, at fair value as
determined in good faith under procedures adopted by our Board of Directors. We may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of our investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (the
entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio
companys ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow (taking into consideration current market interest rates and credit spreads), the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio
companys securities to similar publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we use the pricing indicated by the external event
to corroborate our valuation. While most of our investments are not publicly traded, applicable accounting standards require us to assume as part of our valuation process that our investments are sold in a principal market to market participants
(even if we plan on holding an investment through its maturity). As a result, volatility in the capital markets can also adversely affect our investment valuations. Decreases in the market values or fair values of our investments are recorded as
unrealized depreciation. The effect of all of these factors on our portfolio can reduce our NAV by increasing net unrealized depreciation in our portfolio. Depending on market conditions, we could incur substantial realized losses and may suffer
unrealized losses, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

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

A portfolio companys failure to satisfy financial or
operating covenants imposed by us or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially, acceleration of the time when the loans are due and foreclosure on the portfolio companys assets representing collateral for its obligations. This
could trigger cross defaults under other agreements and jeopardize our portfolio companys ability to meet its obligations under the debt that we hold and the value of any equity securities we own. We may incur expenses to the extent necessary
to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company.

Our portfolio companies may have
incurred or issued, or may in the future incur or issue, debt or equity securities that rank equally with, or senior to, our investments in such companies, which could have an adverse effect on us in any liquidation of the portfolio company.

Our portfolio companies may have, or may be permitted to incur, other debt, or issue other equity securities that
rank equally with, or senior to, our investments. By their terms, such instruments may provide that the holders are entitled to receive payment of dividends, interest or principal on or before the dates on which we are entitled to receive payments
in respect of our investments. These debt instruments would usually prohibit the portfolio companies from paying interest on or repaying our investments in the event and during the continuance of a default under such debt. Also, in the event of
insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company, holders of securities ranking senior to our investment in that portfolio company typically are entitled to receive payment in full before we receive any
distribution in respect of our investment. After repaying such holders, the portfolio company may not have any remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to us. In the case of securities ranking equally with our investments, we would have
to share on an equal basis any distributions with other security holders in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company.

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

The rights
we may have with respect to the collateral securing any junior priority loans we make to our portfolio companies may also be limited pursuant to the terms of one or more intercreditor agreements that we enter into with the holders of senior debt.
Under such an intercreditor agreement, at any time that senior obligations are outstanding, we may forfeit certain rights with respect to the collateral to the holders of the senior obligations. These rights may include the right to commence
enforcement proceedings against the collateral, the right to control the conduct of such enforcement proceedings, the right to approve amendments to collateral documents, the right to release liens on the collateral and the right to waive past
defaults under collateral documents. We may not have the ability to control or direct such actions, even if our rights as junior lenders are adversely affected. In addition, a bankruptcy court may choose not to enforce an intercreditor agreement or
other arrangement with creditors. Similar risks to the foregoing may apply where we hold the last-out piece of a unitranche loan.

We may also make unsecured loans to portfolio companies, meaning that such loans 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 loan 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 loan obligations after payment in full of all secured loan obligations. If such proceeds were not sufficient to repay the outstanding secured loan 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.

Our portfolio companies may be highly leveraged.

Some of our portfolio companies may be highly leveraged, which may have adverse consequences to these companies and to us as
an investor. These companies may be subject to restrictive financial and operating covenants and the leverage may impair these companies ability to finance their future operations and capital needs. As a result, these companies
flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions and to take advantage of business opportunities may be limited. Further, a leveraged companys income and net assets will tend to increase or decrease at a greater rate than if
borrowed money were not used.

Our investments in non-U.S. companies may
involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

Our investment strategy
contemplates potential investments in securities of non-U.S. companies to the extent permissible under the Investment Company Act. Investing in non-U.S. 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
non-U.S. taxes (potentially at confiscatory levels), less liquid markets, less available information than is generally the case in the United States, higher transaction costs, less government supervision of
exchanges, brokers and issuers, less developed bankruptcy laws, difficulty in enforcing contractual obligations, lack of uniform accounting and auditing standards and greater price volatility. These risks are likely to be more pronounced for
investments in companies located in emerging markets and particularly for middle-market companies in these economies.

Although most of our investments are denominated in U.S. dollars, our investments that are denominated in a non-U.S. currency will be subject to the risk that the value of a particular currency will 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 cannot assure you that such strategies will be effective or without risk to us.

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

Subject to applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act and applicable
CFTC regulations, we may enter into hedging transactions in a manner consistent with SEC guidance, which may expose us to risks associated with such transactions. Such hedging 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. Use of these hedging instruments may include
counter-party credit risk.

Hedging against a decline in the values of our portfolio positions does not eliminate the
possibility of fluctuations in the values of such positions or prevent losses if the values of such positions decline. However, such hedging can establish other positions designed to gain from those same developments, thereby offsetting the decline
in the value of such portfolio positions. Such hedging transactions may also limit the opportunity for gain if the values of the underlying portfolio positions should increase. 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.

The success of any hedging transactions we may enter into will depend on our ability to correctly predict movements in
currencies and interest rates. Therefore, while we may enter into such 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 to (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. See also Risks Relating to Our Business and
StructureWe are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates.

We may form one or more CLOs, which may
subject us to certain structured financing risks.

To the extent permissible under risk retention rules adopted
pursuant to Section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Act and applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, to finance investments, we may securitize certain of our investments, including through the formation of one or more CLOs, while retaining
all or most of the exposure to the performance of these investments. This would involve contributing a pool of assets to a special purpose entity, and selling debt interests in such entity on a non-recourse or
limited-recourse basis to purchasers. Any interest in any such CLO held by us may be considered a non-qualifying asset for purposes of Section 55 of the Investment Company Act.

If we create a CLO, we will depend on distributions from the CLOs assets out of its earnings and cash flows to enable us
to make distributions to our stockholders. The ability of a CLO to make distributions will be subject to various limitations, including the terms and covenants of the debt it issues. For example, tests (based on interest coverage or other financial
ratios or other criteria) may restrict our ability, as holder of a CLOs equity interests, to receive cash flow from these investments. There is no assurance any such performance tests will be satisfied. Also, a CLO may take actions that delay
distributions in order to preserve ratings and to keep the cost of present and future financings lower or the CLO may be obligated to retain cash or other assets to satisfy over-collateralization requirements commonly provided for holders of the
CLOs debt. As a result, there may be a lag, which could be significant, between the repayment or other realization on a loan or other assets in, and the distribution of cash out of, a CLO, or cash flow may be completely restricted for the life
of the CLO. If we do not receive cash flow from any such CLO that is necessary to satisfy the annual distribution requirement for maintaining our RIC status, and we are unable to obtain cash from other sources necessary to satisfy this requirement,
we could fail to maintain our status as a RIC, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.



46



---



In addition, a decline in the credit quality of loans in a CLO due to poor
operating results of the relevant borrower, declines in the value of loan collateral or increases in defaults, among other things, may force a CLO to sell certain assets at a loss, reducing their earnings and, in turn, cash potentially available for
distribution to us for distribution to our stockholders.

To the extent that any losses are incurred by the CLO in respect
of any collateral, such losses will be borne first by us as owner of equity interests. Finally, any equity interests that we retain in a CLO will not be secured by the assets of the CLO and we will rank behind all creditors of the CLO.

Risks Relating to Our Securities

Investing in our securities involves an above average degree of risk.

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

The market price of our securities may fluctuate significantly.

The market price and liquidity of the market for our securities 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 these companies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the inclusion or exclusion of our securities from certain indices;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



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



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



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



| |  |  | changes or perceived 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 or
securities analysts;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the inability of our Investment Adviser to employ additional experienced investment professionals or the
departure of any of our Investment Advisers key personnel;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | short-selling pressure with respect to shares of our common stock or BDCs generally;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | future sales of our securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock or the
conversion of such securities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | uncertainty surrounding the strength of the U.S. economic recovery;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | concerns regarding European sovereign debt;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



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



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



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

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. If our stock price fluctuates significantly, we may be the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert managements
attention and resources from our business.

Shares of closed-end investment companies, including BDCs,
frequently trade at a discount to their NAV per share.

We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock
will trade. Shares of closed-end investment companies, including BDCs, frequently trade at a discount from their NAV and our common stock may also be discounted in the market. This characteristic of closed-end investment companies is separate and distinct from the risk that our NAV per share of common stock may decline. We cannot predict whether our common stock will trade at, above or below NAV. In addition,
if our common stock trades below its NAV, we will generally not be able to sell additional shares of our common stock to the public at its market price without first obtaining the approval of a majority of our stockholders (including a majority of
our unaffiliated stockholders) and our Independent Directors for such issuance.

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

Sales of substantial amounts of our common
stock, the availability of such common stock for sale (including as a result of the conversion of our 4.50% Convertible Notes due 2022 (the Convertible Notes) into common stock) or the perception that such sales could occur could
materially adversely affect the prevailing market price for our common stock. Both the sale of a substantial amount of our securities and the perception that such sales could occur could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the
sale of equity securities should we desire to do so. Additionally, as an owner of approximately 16.06% of our common stock as of December 31, 2019, Group Inc. is a significant stockholder that may decide to sell a substantial amount of its
common stock, subject to applicable securities laws, and such a sale would exacerbate the effects described above.

Our stockholders
may experience dilution upon the conversion of our Convertible Notes.

Our Convertible Notes are convertible into
shares of our common stock beginning on October 1, 2021 or, under certain circumstances, earlier. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, we have the choice to pay or deliver, as the case may be, at our election, cash, shares of our common
stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. The initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes is $24.49, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. If we elect to deliver shares of common stock upon a conversion at the
time our NAV per share exceeds the conversion price in effect at such time, our stockholders may incur dilution. In addition, our stockholders will experience dilution in their ownership percentage of common stock upon our issuance of common stock
in connection with the conversion of the Convertible Notes and any dividends paid on our common stock will also be paid on shares issued in connection with such conversion after such issuance.

Our stockholders will experience dilution in their ownership percentage if they opt out of our dividend reinvestment plan.

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to which we reinvest all cash distributions declared by the Board of
Directors on behalf of investors who do not elect to receive their distributions in cash. As a result, if the Board of Directors declares a cash distribution, then our stockholders who have not opted out of our dividend reinvestment plan will have
their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution. See Item 5. Market For Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases
of Equity SecuritiesDistributions and Item 1. BusinessDividend Reinvestment Plan for a description of our distribution policy and obligations.

If, on the payment date for any distribution, the most recently computed NAV per share is equal to or less than the closing
market price plus estimated per share fees (which include any applicable brokerage commissions the plan agent is required to pay), the plan agent will invest the distribution amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of
newly issued shares to be credited to a participants account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution by the most recently computed NAV per share provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the then
current market price per share, the dollar amount of the distribution will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. Accordingly, participants in the dividend reinvestment plan may receive a greater number shares of our common stock
than the number of shares associated with the market price of our common stock, resulting in dilution for other stockholders. Stockholders that opt out of our dividend reinvestment plan will experience dilution in their ownership percentage of our
common stock over time. See Item 1. BusinessDividend Reinvestment Plan.

Our stockholders that do not opt out of
our dividend reinvestment plan should generally expect to have current tax liabilities without receiving cash to pay such liabilities.

Under our dividend reinvestment plan, if we declare a cash distribution, our stockholders who have not elected to opt
out will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash distributions. Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of shares of our common stock generally
are subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in cash; however, since their distributions will be reinvested, those stockholders will not receive cash with which to
pay any applicable taxes on such reinvested distributions. As a result, stockholders that have not opted out of our dividend reinvestment plan may have to use funds from other sources to pay any tax liabilities imposed upon them based on the value
of the common stock received. See Item 1. BusinessDividend Reinvestment Plan.

We may in the future determine to
issue preferred stock, which could adversely affect the market value of our common stock.

The issuance of shares
of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms favorable to the holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in the common
stock less attractive. In addition, the dividends on any preferred stock we issue must be cumulative. Payment of dividends and repayment of the liquidation preference of preferred stock must take preference over any distributions or other payments
to our common stockholders, and holders of preferred stock are not subject to any of our expenses or losses and are not entitled to participate in any income or appreciation in excess of their stated preference (other than convertible preferred
stock that converts into common stock). In addition, under the Investment Company Act, participating preferred stock and preferred stock constitutes a senior security for purposes of the 150% asset coverage test. See
Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to, and the way in which we, raise additional capital. These constraints may hinder our Investment Advisers ability to take advantage of attractive investment
opportunities and to achieve our investment objective.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware
General Corporation Law (DGCL), as well as other aspects of our structure, including the substantial ownership interest of Group Inc., could deter takeover attempts and have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as the DGCL, contain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging
a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us. Among other things, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws:



| |  |  | provide that our Board of Directors is classified, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to change
the membership of a majority of our Board of Directors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | do not provide for cumulative voting;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide that vacancies on our Board of Directors, including newly created directorships, may be filled only by
a majority vote of directors then in office;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide that our directors may be removed only for cause, and only by a supermajority vote of the stockholders
entitled to elect such directors;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide that stockholders may only take action at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and may not
act by written consent;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrict stockholders ability to call special meetings;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require a supermajority vote of stockholders to effect certain amendments to our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require stockholders to provide advance notice of new business proposals and director nominations under
specific procedures.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have provisions comparable to those of Section 203 of the DGCL (other than
with respect to Group Inc. and its affiliates and certain of its or their direct or indirect transferees and any group as to which such persons are a party). These provisions generally prohibit us from engaging in mergers, business combinations and
certain other types of transactions with interested stockholders (generally defined as persons or entities that beneficially own 15% or more of our voting stock), other than the exempt parties as described above, for a period of three
years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless, prior to such stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, our Board of Directors has approved the business combination that would otherwise be restricted or
the transaction that resulted in the interested stockholder becoming an interested stockholder or the subsequent transaction with the interested stockholder has been approved by our Board of Directors and 662/3% of our outstanding voting stock (other than voting stock owned by the interested stockholder). Such provisions may discourage third parties
from trying to acquire control of us and increase the difficulty of consummating such an offer.

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 market price for the common stock. In addition, certain aspects of our structure, including the
substantial ownership interest of Group Inc., may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us.

We may not be able to pay you distributions on our common stock or preferred stock, our distributions to you may not grow over time and
a portion of our distributions to you may be a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

We intend
to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. We cannot assure you that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make a specified level of cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. If we are unable to satisfy the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC, or if we violate certain covenants under our
Revolving Credit Facility and other debt financing agreements, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders could be limited. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings,
financial condition, maintenance of our RIC status, compliance with applicable BDC regulations, compliance with covenants under our Revolving Credit Facility and other debt financing agreements and such other factors as our Board of Directors may
deem relevant from time to time.

The distributions we pay to our stockholders in a year may exceed our net ordinary
income and capital gains for that year and, accordingly, a portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes that would reduce a stockholders adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common
stock or preferred stock and correspondingly increase such stockholders gain, or reduce such stockholders loss, on disposition of such shares. Distributions in excess of a stockholders adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common
stock or preferred stock will generally constitute capital gains to such stockholder.

Stockholders who periodically
receive the payment of a distribution from a RIC consisting of a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be under the impression that they are receiving a distribution of the RICs net ordinary income or capital gains when
they are not. Accordingly, stockholders should read carefully any written disclosure accompanying a distribution from us and the information about the specific tax characteristics of our distributions provided to stockholders after the end of each
calendar year, and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our net ordinary income or capital gains.

The tax treatment of a non-U.S. stockholder in
its jurisdiction of tax residence will depend entirely on the laws of such jurisdiction, and may vary considerably from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Depending on (i) the laws of such non-U.S. stockholders jurisdiction of tax
residence, (ii) how we are treated in such jurisdiction, and (iii) our activities, an investment in us could result in such non-U.S. stockholder recognizing adverse tax consequences in its
jurisdiction of tax residence, including with respect to any generally required or additional tax filings and/or additional disclosure required in such filings in relation to the treatment for tax purposes in the relevant jurisdiction of an interest
in us and/or of distributions from us and any uncertainties arising in that respect (our not being established under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction), the possibility of taxable income significantly in excess of cash distributed to a non-U.S. stockholder, and possibly in excess of our actual economic income, the possibilities of losing deductions or the ability to utilize tax basis and of sums invested being returned in the form of taxable
income or gains, and the possibility of being subject to tax at unfavorable tax rates. A non-U.S. stockholder may also be subject to restrictions on the use of its share of our deductions and losses in its
jurisdiction of tax residence. Each prospective investor is urged to consult its own tax advisors with respect to the tax and tax filing consequences, if any, in its jurisdiction of tax residence of an investment in us, as well as any other
jurisdiction in which such prospective investor is subject to taxation.

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

For U.S. federal income
tax purposes, we will include in our taxable income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as OID or accruals on a contingent payment debt instrument, which may occur if we receive warrants in connection with the origination of
a loan, or possibly in other circumstances, or contracted PIK interest, which generally represents contractual interest added to the loan balance and due at the end of the loan term. Such OID, which could be significant relative to our overall
investment assets, and increases in loan balances as a result of PIK interest will be included in our taxable income before we receive any corresponding cash payments. We also may be required to include in our taxable income certain other amounts
that we will not receive in cash. The credit risk associated with the collectability of deferred payments may be increased as and when a portfolio company increases the amount of interest on which it is deferring cash payment through deferred
interest features. Our investments with a deferred interest feature may represent a higher credit risk than loans for which interest must be paid in full in cash on a regular basis. For example, even if the accounting conditions for income accrual
are met, the borrower could still default when our actual collection is scheduled to occur upon maturity of the obligation.

Because in certain cases we may recognize taxable income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may
have difficulty making distributions to our stockholders that will be sufficient to enable us to meet the annual distribution requirement necessary for us to maintain our status as a RIC. Accordingly, we may need to sell some of our assets at times
and/or at prices that we would not consider advantageous, we may need to raise additional equity or debt capital or we may need to forego new investment opportunities or otherwise take actions that are disadvantageous to our business (or be unable
to take actions that are advantageous to our business) to enable us to make distributions to our stockholders that will be sufficient to enable us to meet the annual distribution requirement. If we are unable to obtain cash from other sources to
meet the annual distribution requirement, we may fail to qualify for the U.S. federal income tax benefits allowable to RICs and, thus, become subject to a corporate-level U.S. federal income tax (and any applicable U.S. state and local taxes).

Our stockholders may receive shares of our common stock or preferred stock as distributions, which could result in adverse tax
consequences to them.

In order to satisfy the annual distribution requirement applicable to RICs, we will have
the ability to declare a large portion of a distribution in shares of our common stock or preferred stock instead of in cash. We are not subject to restrictions on the circumstances in which we may declare a portion of a distribution in shares of
our stock but would generally anticipate doing so only in unusual situations, such as, for example, if we do not have sufficient cash to meet our RIC distribution requirements under the Code. Generally, were we to declare such a distribution, we
would allow stockholders to elect payment in cash and/or shares of our stock of equivalent value, with a percentage limitation on the portion of the total distribution available to be received in cash. Under published IRS guidance, the entire
distribution will generally be treated as a taxable distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and count towards our RIC distribution requirements under the Code, if certain conditions are satisfied. Among other things, the aggregate amount
of cash available to be distributed to all stockholders is required to be at least 20% of the aggregate declared distribution. If too many stockholders elect to receive cash, the cash available for distribution is required to be allocated among the
stockholders electing to receive cash (with the balance of the distribution paid in stock) under a formula provided in the applicable IRS guidance. The number of shares of our stock distributed would thus depend on the applicable percentage
limitation on cash available for distribution, the stockholders individual elections to receive cash or stock, and the value of the shares of our stock. Each stockholder generally would be treated as having received a taxable distribution
(including for purposes of the withholding tax rules applicable to a Non-U.S. stockholder) on the date the distribution is received in an amount equal to the cash that such stockholder would have received if
the entire distribution had been paid in cash, even if the stockholder received all or most of the distribution in shares of our common stock or preferred stock. We currently do not intend to pay distributions in shares of our common stock or
preferred stock, but there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.

If we are not treated as a publicly
offered regulated investment company, as defined in the Code, U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts or estates will be taxed as though they received a distribution of some of our expenses.

We expect to be treated as a publicly offered regulated investment company as a result of either (i) shares
of our common stock being held by at least 500 persons at all times during a taxable year or (ii) shares of our common stock being treated as regularly traded on an established securities market. However, we cannot assure you that we will be
treated as a publicly offered regulated investment company for all years. If we are not treated as a publicly offered regulated investment company for any calendar year, each U.S. stockholder that is an individual, trust or estate will be treated as
having received a dividend from us in the amount of such U.S. stockholders allocable share of the management and incentive fees paid to our Investment Adviser and certain of our other expenses for the calendar year, and these fees and

expenses will be treated as miscellaneous itemized deductions of such U.S. stockholder. Miscellaneous itemized deductions of a U.S. stockholder that is an individual, trust or estate are
disallowed under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for tax years beginning before January 1, 2026 and thereafter generally are (i) deductible by such U.S. stockholders only to the extent that the aggregate of such U.S. stockholders
miscellaneous itemized deductions exceeds 2% of such U.S. stockholders adjusted gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) not deductible for purposes of the alternative minimum tax and (iii) are subject to the overall
limitation on itemized deductions under the Code.

Non-U.S. stockholders may be subject to
withholding of U.S. federal income tax on dividends we pay.

Distributions of our investment company taxable
income to a non-U.S. stockholder that are not effectively connected with the non-U.S. stockholders conduct of a trade or business within the United States
will generally be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate provided by an applicable income tax treaty) to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits.

Certain properly reported dividends are generally exempt from withholding of U.S. federal income tax where they are paid in
respect of our (i) qualified net interest income (generally, our U.S.-source interest income, other than certain contingent interest and interest from obligations of a corporation or partnership in which we or the non-U.S. stockholder are at least a 10% shareholder, reduced by expenses that are allocable to such income) or (ii) qualified short-term capital gains (generally, the excess of our net short-term capital
gain over our net long-term capital loss for such taxable year), and certain other requirements are satisfied.

NO
ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN AS TO WHETHER ANY OF OUR DISTRIBUTIONS WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS EXEMPTION FROM WITHHOLDING OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX. IN PARTICULAR, THIS EXEMPTION WILL NOT APPLY TO OUR DISTRIBUTIONS PAID IN RESPECT OF OUR NON-U.S. SOURCE INTEREST INCOME OR OUR DIVIDEND INCOME (OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF INCOME OTHER THAN GENERALLY OUR NON-CONTINGENT U.S. SOURCE INTEREST INCOME RECEIVED FROM UNRELATED
OBLIGORS AND OUR QUALIFIED SHORT-TERM CAPITAL GAINS). IN THE CASE OF OUR COMMON STOCK OR PREFERRED STOCK HELD THROUGH AN INTERMEDIARY, THE INTERMEDIARY MAY WITHHOLD U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX EVEN IF WE REPORT THE PAYMENT AS QUALIFIED NET INTEREST
INCOME OR QUALIFIED SHORT-TERM CAPITAL GAIN.

Purchases of our common stock pursuant to the Companys 10b5-1 Plan (the Company 10b5-1 Plan) or otherwise may result in the price of our common stock being higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open
market.

We are authorized to purchase up to $25.00 million of shares of our common stock if the stock trades
below the most recently announced NAV per share (including any updates, corrections or adjustments publicly announced by us to any previously announced NAV per share), subject to certain limitations, until March 18, 2019. Any such purchases
will be conducted in accordance with applicable securities laws. Whether purchases will be made under the Company 10b5-1 Plan or otherwise and how much will be purchased at any time is uncertain, dependent on
prevailing market prices and trading volumes, all of which we cannot predict. These activities may have the effect of maintaining the market price of our common stock or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result,
the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The Company 10b5-1 Plan was temporarily suspended on December 9, 2019 and remains suspended as of
February 20, 2020.

Purchases of our common stock by us under the Company 10b5-1 Plan
or otherwise may result in dilution to our NAV per share.

We are authorized to repurchase shares of common stock
when the market price per share is below the most recently reported NAV per share (including any updates, corrections or adjustments publicly announced by us to any previously announced NAV per share), including under the Company 10b5-1 Plan. Because purchases may be made beginning at any price below our most recently reported NAV per share, if our NAV per share decreases after the date as of which NAV per share was last reported, such
purchases may result in dilution to our NAV per share. This dilution would occur because we would repurchase shares at a price above the then-current NAV per share, which would cause a proportionately smaller increase in our stockholders
interest in our earnings and assets and their voting interest in us than the decrease in our assets resulting from such repurchase. As a result of any such dilution, our market price per share may decline. The actual dilutive effect will depend on
the number of shares of common stock that could be so repurchased, the price and the timing of any repurchases. The Company 10b5-1 Plan was temporarily suspended on December 9, 2019 and remains suspended
as of February 20, 2020.

To the extent OID and PIK interest constitute 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 representing such income.

Our investments may include OID instruments and PIK, interest arrangements, which represents contractual interest added to a
loan balance and due at the end of such loans term. To the extent OID or PIK interest constitute a portion of our income, we are 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:



| |  |  | The higher interest rates of OID and PIK instruments reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk
associated with these instruments, and OID and PIK instruments generally represent a significantly higher credit risk than coupon loans.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Even if the accounting conditions for income accrual are met, the borrower could still default when our actual
collection is supposed to occur at the maturity of the obligation.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



51



---



| |  |  | OID and PIK instruments may have unreliable valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing
judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. OID and PIK income may also create uncertainty about the source of our cash distributions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | For accounting purposes, any cash distributions to shareholders representing OID and PIK income are not
treated as coming from paid-in capital, even if the cash to pay them comes from offering proceeds. As a result, despite the fact that a distribution representing OID and PIK income could be paid out of amounts
invested by our stockholders, the Investment Company Act does not require that stockholders be given notice of this fact by reporting it as a return of capital.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Terms relating to redemption may materially adversely affect your return on any debt securities that we may issue.

If our noteholders debt securities are redeemable at our option, we may choose to redeem your debt securities at times
when prevailing interest rates are lower than the interest rate paid on your debt securities. In addition, if our noteholders debt securities are subject to mandatory redemption, we may be required to redeem such debt securities also at times
when prevailing interest rates are lower than the interest rate paid on such debt securities. In this circumstance, a noteholder may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as
the debt securities being redeemed.

Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in our debt securities.

Our credit ratings are an assessment by third parties of our ability to pay our obligations. Consequently, real
or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of our debt securities. Our credit ratings, however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to market conditions generally or other factors discussed
above on the market value of or trading market for the publicly issued debt securities.

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 the directors until such arrearage is completely eliminated. In addition, preferred stockholders have
class voting rights on certain matters, including changes in fundamental investment restrictions and conversion to open-end status, and accordingly can 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 Investment Company 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 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.

There is a risk that
investors in our equity securities may not receive distributions or that our distributions may not grow over time and that investors in our debt securities may not receive all of the interest income to which they are entitled.

We intend to make distributions on a quarterly basis to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. We
cannot assure you that we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make a specified level of cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash
distributions. In addition, due to the asset coverage test applicable to us as a BDC, we may in the future be limited in our ability to make distributions. Also, our Revolving Credit Facility may limit our ability to declare dividends if we default
under certain provisions or fail to satisfy certain other conditions. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of the tax benefits available to us as a RIC.
In addition, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and tax rules, we include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as contractual PIK interest, which represents contractual interest added to
the loan balance that becomes due at the end of the loan term, or the accrual of original issue or market discount. Since we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may have difficulty meeting the
requirement to distribute at least 90% of our investment company taxable income to obtain tax benefits as a RIC.

We will
be subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income for a calendar year unless we distribute in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our ordinary income (taking into account certain
deferrals and elections) for the 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. We will not be subject to excise taxes on amounts on which we are required to pay corporate income taxes (such as retained net capital gains).

Finally, if more stockholders opt to receive cash distributions rather than participate in our dividend reinvestment plan, we
may be forced to liquidate some of our investments and raise cash in order to make cash distribution payments.

If you do not fully exercise your subscription rights in any rights offering of our
common stock, your interest in us may be diluted and, if the subscription price is less than our NAV per share, you may experience an immediate dilution of the aggregate NAV of your shares.

In the event we issue subscription rights to acquire shares of our common stock, stockholders who do not fully exercise their
subscription rights should expect that they will, at the completion of the rights offering, own a smaller proportional interest in us than would be the case if they fully exercised their rights.

In addition, if the subscription price is less than the NAV per share of our common stock, a stockholder who does not fully
exercise its subscription rights may experience an immediate dilution of the aggregate NAV of its shares as a result of the offering.

We would not be able to state the amount of any such dilution prior to knowing the results of the offering. Such dilution
could be substantial.

Risks Relating to the Merger

Sales of shares of GS BDC Common Stock after the completion of the Merger may cause the market price of GS BDC Common Stock to decline.

Based on the number of outstanding shares of GS MMLC common stock (GS MMLC Common Stock) as of
December 6, 2019, GS BDC would issue approximately 49.2 million shares of GS BDC common stock (GS BDC Common Stock) to the GS MMLC stockholders who acquire shares of GS BDC Common Stock in the Merger (each, an Affected
Stockholder) pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Subject to compliance with the lock-up provisions of the amended and restated charter of GS BDC (the Amended and Restated GS BDC Charter), the Affected Stockholders may decide not to
hold the shares of GS BDC Common Stock that they will receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Without the prior consent of the board of directors of GS BDC (the GS BDC Board):



| |  | for 90 days following the date of filing of the Amended and Restated GS BDC Charter (the Filing
Date), an Affected Stockholder is not permitted to transfer (whether by sale, gift, merger, by operation of law or otherwise), assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of or encumber any shares of GS BDC Common Stock acquired by the Affected
Stockholder in connection with the Merger Agreement;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | for 180 days following the Filing Date, an Affected Stockholder is not permitted to transfer (whether by sale,
gift, merger, by operation of law or otherwise), assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of or encumber two-thirds of the shares of GS BDC Common Stock acquired by the Affected Stockholder in connection with the Merger Agreement; and
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | for 270 days following the Filing Date, an Affected Stockholder is not permitted to transfer (whether by sale,
gift, merger, by operation of law or otherwise), assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of or encumber one-third of the shares of GS BDC Common Stock acquired by the Affected Stockholder in connection with the Merger Agreement.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following the closing of the Merger and the expiration of applicable lock-up periods, subject to applicable securities laws,
sales of substantial amounts of shares of GS BDC Common Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices for GS BDC Common Stock. If this occurs, it could impair GS BDCs ability to raise
additional capital through the sale of equity securities should it desire to do so. GS BDC cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of securities, or the availability of securities for future sales, will have on the market price of GS BDC
Common Stock prevailing from time to time.

In addition, certain GS MMLC stockholders, such as funds with limitations on
their permitted holdings of stock in individual issuers, may be required to sell the shares of GS BDC Common Stock that they receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In addition, GS BDC stockholders may decide not to hold their shares of GS BDC
Common Stock after completion of the Merger. In each case, such sales of GS BDC Common Stock could have the effect of depressing the market price for GS BDC Common Stock and may take place promptly following the completion of the Merger and, to the
extent applicable, the expiration of the relevant lock-up periods.

GS BDC stockholders will experience a reduction in percentage
ownership and voting power in the combined company as a result of the Merger.

GS BDC stockholders will experience
a substantial reduction in their percentage ownership interests and effective voting power in respect of the combined company relative to their percentage ownership interests in GS BDC prior to the Merger. Consequently, GS BDC stockholders should
expect to exercise less influence over the management and policies of the combined company following the Merger than they currently exercise over the management and policies of GS BDC.



53



---



If the Merger were consummated as of December 6, 2019, based on the pro
forma number of shares of GS BDC Common Stock to be issued and outstanding on the Closing Date, GS BDC stockholders would own approximately 45.1% of the outstanding GS BDC Common Stock and GS MMLC stockholders would own approximately 54.9% of the
outstanding GS BDC Common Stock. In addition, prior to completion of the Merger, subject to certain restrictions in the Merger Agreement, GS BDC and GS MMLC may each issue additional shares of GS BDC Common Stock and GS MMLC Common Stock,
respectively, which would further reduce the percentage ownership of the combined company to be held by current GS BDC stockholders. After completion of the Merger, GS BDC may issue additional shares of GS BDC Common Stock at prices below GS BDC
Common Stocks then-current NAV per share, subject to certain restrictions under the 1940 Act, including stockholder approval of such issuance. The issuance or sale by GS BDC of shares of GS BDC Common Stock at a discount to NAV poses a risk of
dilution to stockholders.

GS BDC may be unable to realize the benefits anticipated by the Merger, including estimated cost savings,
or it may take longer than anticipated to achieve such benefits.

The realization of certain benefits anticipated
as a result of the Merger will depend in part on the integration of GS MMLCs investment portfolio with GS BDCs and the integration of GS MMLCs business with GS BDCs. There can be no assurance that GS MMLCs investment
portfolio or business can be operated profitably or integrated successfully into GS BDCs operations in a timely fashion or at all. The dedication of management resources to such integration may detract attention from the day-to-day business of
the combined company and there can be no assurance that there will not be substantial costs associated with the transition process or there will not be other material adverse effects as a result of these integration efforts. Such effects, including,
but not limited to, incurring unexpected costs or delays in connection with such integration and failure of GS MMLCs investment portfolio to perform as expected, could have a material adverse effect on the financial results of the combined
company.

GS BDC also expects to achieve certain cost savings from the Merger when the two companies have fully integrated
their portfolios. It is possible that the estimates of the potential cost savings could ultimately be incorrect. The cost savings estimates also assume GS BDC will be able to combine the operations of GS BDC and GS MMLC in a manner that permits
those cost savings to be fully realized. If the estimates turn out to be incorrect or if GS BDC is not able to successfully combine GS MMLCs investment portfolio or business with the operations of GS BDC, the anticipated cost savings may not
be fully realized or realized at all or may take longer to realize than expected.

The Merger may trigger certain change of
control provisions and other restrictions in contracts of GS BDC, GS MMLC or their affiliates and the failure to obtain any required consents or waivers could adversely impact the combined company.

Certain agreements of GS BDC and GS MMLC or their affiliates, which may include agreements governing indebtedness of GS BDC or
GS MMLC, will or may require the consent or waiver of one or more counterparties in connection with the Merger. The failure to obtain any such consent or waiver may permit such counterparties to terminate, or otherwise increase their rights or GS
BDCs or GS MMLCs obligations under, any such agreement because the Merger or other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may violate an anti-assignment, change of control or similar provision relating to any of such
transactions. If this occurs, GS BDC may have to seek to replace that agreement with a new agreement or seek an amendment to such agreement. GS BDC cannot assure you that GS BDC will be able to replace or amend any such agreement on comparable terms
or at all. If these types of provisions are triggered in agreements governing indebtedness of GS BDC or GS MMLC, the lender or holder of the debt instrument could accelerate repayment under such indebtedness and negatively affect GS BDCs
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If any such agreement is material, the failure to
obtain consents, amendments or waivers under, or to replace on similar terms or at all, any of these agreements could adversely affect the financial performance or results of operations of the combined company following the Merger, including
preventing GS BDC from operating a material part of GS MMLCs business.

In addition, the consummation of the Merger
may violate, conflict with, result in a breach of provisions of, or the loss of any benefit under, constitute a default (or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the
termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation (including any payment obligation) under, certain agreements of GS BDC or GS MMLC. Any such violation, conflict, breach, loss, default or other effect could, either
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, assets or business of the combined company following completion of the Merger.

The opinion delivered to the GS BDC Special Committee from the financial advisor to
the GS BDC Special Committee will not reflect changes in circumstances between signing the Merger Agreement and completion of the Merger.

The special committee of GS BDC (the GS BDC Special Committee) has not obtained an updated opinion as of the date
of this report from the financial advisor to the GS BDC Special Committee, and does not anticipate obtaining an updated opinion prior to the closing date of the Merger. Changes in the operations and prospects of GS BDC, general market and economic
conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of GS BDC, and on which its financial advisors opinion was based, may significantly alter the value of GS MMLC or the price of shares of GS BDC Common Stock by the time the Merger is
completed. The opinion does not speak as of the time the Merger will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinion. Because the GS BDC Special Committee does not anticipate asking its financial advisor to update its opinion, the
opinion will not address the fairness from a financial point of view of the Exchange Ratio at the time the Merger is completed.

If
the Merger does not close, GS BDC will not benefit from the expenses incurred in its pursuit.

The Merger may not
be completed. If the Merger is not completed, GS BDC will have incurred substantial expenses for which no ultimate benefit will have been received. GS BDC has incurred out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Merger for investment banking,
legal and accounting fees and financial printing and other related charges, much of which will be incurred even if the Merger is not completed.

The termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact GS BDC.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated, there may be various consequences, including:



| |  | GS BDCs business may have been adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial
opportunities due to the focus of management on the Merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Merger;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the market price of GS BDC Common Stock might decline to the extent that the market price prior to termination
reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed; and
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the payment of any termination fee, if required under the circumstances, could adversely affect the financial
condition and liquidity of GS BDC.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under certain circumstances, GS BDC is obligated to pay (or cause a third
party to pay) to GS MMLC a termination fee upon termination of the Merger Agreement.

No assurance can be given
that the Merger will be completed. The Merger Agreement provides for the payment, subject to applicable law, by GS BDC (or a third party), of a termination fee of $20.5 million to GS MMLC, if the Merger Agreement is terminated by GS BDC under
certain circumstances, including if (i) the GS BDC Board has changed its recommendation in favor of the proposals for its respective stockholders set forth in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, and/or has approved an alternative takeover
proposal; GS BDC fails to recommend that its stockholders vote in favor of the proposals for its stockholders set forth in the joint proxy statement/prospectus; a takeover proposal by a third party is announced and the GS BDC Board fails to reaffirm
its recommendation that its stockholders vote in favor of the proposals for its stockholders set forth in the joint proxy statement/prospectus; or a tender or exchange offer for GS BDC Common Stock is initiated by a third party and the GS BDC Board
does not recommend rejection of such tender or exchange offer; (ii) GS BDC materially breaches any of its obligations relating to the solicitation and administration of takeover proposals from third parties; or (iii) (1) the Merger is not completed
by December 9, 2020, the GS BDC stockholders do not approve the applicable proposals set forth in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, at the respective special meeting, or GS BDC willfully or intentionally breaches its representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements in the Merger Agreement, (2) an alternative takeover proposal of GS BDC is disclosed after the date of the Merger Agreement and (3) GS BDC enters into an agreement with respect to such takeover proposal within twelve (12)
months after the Merger Agreement is terminated and such takeover is subsequently completed, subject to applicable law. GS MMLC will be the entity entitled to receive any termination fee under the Merger Agreement. The GS BDC Board has approved the
amount of the termination fee which may be paid.

The Merger Agreement limits the ability of GS BDC to pursue alternatives to the
Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit GS BDCs ability to discuss, facilitate or
commit to competing third party proposals to acquire all or a significant part of GS BDC. These provisions, which are typical for transactions of this type, include a termination fee of $27.8 million payable to GS MMLC, under certain circumstances,
might discourage a potential competing acquiror that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of GS BDC from considering or proposing that acquisition even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share market
price than that proposed in the Merger or might result in a potential competing acquiror proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire GS BDC than it might otherwise have proposed to pay.

The Merger is subject to closing conditions, including stockholder approvals, that, if
not satisfied or (to the extent legally allowed) waived, will result in the Merger not being completed, which may result in material adverse consequences to GS BDCs business and operations.

The Merger is subject to closing conditions, including certain approvals of GS MMLCs and GS BDCs respective
stockholders that, if not satisfied, will prevent the Merger from being completed. The closing condition that GS MMLC stockholders approve the Merger may not be waived under applicable law and must be satisfied for the Merger to be completed. GS
MMLC currently expects that all directors and executive officers of GS MMLC will vote their shares of GS MMLC Common Stock in favor of the proposals presented at the GS MMLC Special Meeting. If GS MMLC stockholders do not approve the Merger and the
Merger is not completed, the resulting failure of the Merger could have a material adverse impact on GS BDCs business and operations. The closing condition that GS BDC stockholders approve the Merger, the Amended and Restated GS BDC Charter
and the issuance of shares of GS BDC Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the Merger Stock Issuance) may not be waived under applicable law and must be satisfied for the Merger to be completed. In addition, the closing of the
Merger is conditioned upon approval of the New Investment Management Agreement by GS BDC stockholders. GS BDC currently expects that all directors and executive officers of GS BDC will vote their shares of GS BDC Common Stock in favor of the
proposals presented at the GS BDC Special Meeting. If GS BDC stockholders do not approve each of the Merger , the Amended and Restated GS BDC Charter , the Merger Stock Issuance and the New Investment Management Agreement and the Merger is not
completed, the resulting failure of the Merger could have a material adverse impact on GS BDCs business and operations. In addition to the required approvals of GS BDC stockholders, the Merger is subject to a number of other conditions beyond
GS BDCs control that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect its completion. GS BDC cannot predict whether and when these other conditions will be satisfied.

GS BDC will be subject to operational uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Merger is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger may have an adverse effect on GS BDC and, consequently, on the combinedcompany following completion of the Merger. These uncertainties may cause those that deal with GS BDC to seek to change theirexisting business relationships with GS BDC. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts GS BDC from
taking actions that GS BDC might otherwise consider to be in its best interests. These restrictions may prevent GS BDC frompursuing certain business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Merger.

GS BDC and GS MMLC may, to the extent legally allowed, waive one or more conditions to the Merger without resoliciting stockholder
approval.

Certain conditions to GS BDCs and GS MMLCs obligations to complete the Merger may be
waived, in whole or in part, to the extent legally allowed, either unilaterally or by agreement of GS BDC and GS MMLC. In the event that any such waiver does not require resolicitation of stockholders, the parties to the Merger Agreement will have
the discretion to complete the Merger without seeking further stockholder approval. The conditions requiring the approval of GS BDC stockholders and GS MMLC stockholders, however, cannot be waived.

The shares of GS BDC Common Stock to be received by GS MMLC stockholders as a result of the Merger will have substantially the same
rights associated with them as shares of GS MMLC Common Stock currently held by them except for the transfer restrictions imposed by the Amended and Restated GS BDC Charter.

The rights associated with GS BDC Common Stock to be received by the GS MMLC stockholders as a result of the Merger are
substantially the same as the rights associated with the shares of GS MMLC Common Stock currently held by them except for the transfer restrictions imposed by the Amended and Restated GS BDC Charter. Under the Amended and Restated GS BDC Charter,
transfer restrictions will be imposed on the Affected Stockholders such that, without the consent of the Board:



| |  | for 90 days following the Filing Date, an Affected Stockholder is not permitted to transfer (whether by sale,
gift, merger, by operation of law or otherwise), assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of or encumber any shares of GS BDC Common Stock acquired by the Affected Stockholder in connection with the Merger Agreement;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | for 180 days following the Filing Date, an Affected Stockholder is not permitted to transfer (whether by sale,

The market price of GS BDC Common Stock after the Merger may be affected by factors
different from those affecting GS BDC Common Stock currently.

The businesses of GS BDC and GS MMLC differ in some
respects and, accordingly, the results of operations of the combined company and the market price of GS BDC Common Stock after the Merger may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of
each of GS BDC and GS MMLC, such as a larger stockholder base.

Accordingly, the historical trading prices and financial
results of GS BDC may not be indicative of these matters for the combined company following the Merger.

There are risks associated
with any potential merger with or asset sale to another BDC, including the Merger.

GSAM recommended the Merger to
the GS BDC Board and may in the future recommend to the GS BDC Board that GS BDC merge with or sell all or substantially all of its assets to one or more funds including a fund that could be managed by GSAM (including another BDC). GS BDC does not
expect that GSAM would recommend any such merger or asset sale unless it determines that it would be in GS BDCs best interests, with such determination dependent on factors it deems relevant, which may include historical and projected
financial performance of GS BDC and any proposed merger partner, portfolio composition, potential synergies from the merger or asset sale, available alternative options and market conditions. In addition, no such merger or asset sale would be
consummated absent the meeting of various conditions required by applicable law or contract, at such time, which may include approval of the board of directors and common equity holders of both funds. If GSAM is the investment adviser of both funds,
as in the Merger, various conflicts of interest exist with respect to such transaction. Such conflicts of interest may potentially arise from, among other things, differences between the compensation payable to GSAM by GS BDC and by the entity
resulting from such a merger or asset sale or efficiencies or other benefits to GSAM as a result of managing a single, larger fund instead of two separate funds.

Distributions

We intend to continue to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. Future quarterly
distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. All future distributions will be subject to lawfully available funds therefor, and no assurance can be given that we will be able to declare such distributions in future periods.

In December 2019, our board of directors approved special distributions of $0.15 per share in total, and payable in three equal quarterly
installments currently expected to begin at the end of 2020, subject to the timing of the closing of the Merger.

We have elected to be
treated, and expect to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. To maintain our RIC status, we must, among other things, timely distribute to our stockholders at least
90% of our investment company taxable income for each taxable year. We intend to timely distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our annual taxable income for each year, except that we may retain certain net capital gains (i.e., realized
net long-term capital gains in excess of realized net short-term capital losses) for reinvestment and we may choose to carry forward taxable income for distribution in the following year and pay any applicable tax. We generally will be required to
pay a U.S. federal excise tax if our distributions during a calendar year do not exceed the sum of (1) 98.0% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gains in
excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (3) any net ordinary income and capital gains in excess of capital losses for preceding years that were
not distributed during such years. If we retain net capital gains, we may treat such amounts as deemed distributions to our stockholders. In that case, you will be treated as if you had received an actual distribution of the capital gains we
retained and then you reinvested the net after-tax proceeds in our common stock. In general, you also will be eligible to claim a tax credit (or, in certain circumstances, obtain a tax refund) equal to your
allocable share of the tax we paid on the capital gains deemed distributed to you. Stockholders should read carefully any written disclosure accompanying a distribution from us and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our net
ordinary income or capital gains. The distributions we pay to our stockholders in a year may exceed our net ordinary income and capital gains for that year and, accordingly, a portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. The specific tax characteristics of our distributions will be reported to stockholders after the end of the calendar year. Please refer to Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of OperationsCritical Accounting PoliciesDistribution Policy for further information regarding the tax treatment of our distributions and the tax consequences of our retention of net capital gains. See also Item
1A. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Portfolio Company InvestmentsRisks Relating to Our SecuritiesWe may not be able to pay you distributions on our common stock or preferred stock, our distributions to you may not grow over time
and a portion of our distributions to you may be a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Unless our stockholders
elect to receive their distributions in cash, we intend to make such distributions in additional shares of our common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan. Distributions paid in the form of additional shares of our common stock will generally
be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes in the same manner as cash distributions; however, investors participating in our dividend reinvestment plan will not receive any corresponding cash with which to pay any such applicable taxes. If
you hold shares of our common stock through a broker or financial intermediary, you may elect to receive distributions in cash by notifying your broker or financial intermediary of your election to receive distributions in cash in lieu of shares of
our common stock. Any distributions reinvested through the issuance of shares through our dividend reinvestment plan will increase our assets on which the Management Fee and the Incentive Fee are determined and paid to the Investment Adviser. See
Item 1. BusinessDividend Reinvestment Plan.

The following tables summarize distributions declared during the years

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we designated 93.96% and 100%, respectively, of our
distributions from net investment income as interest-related dividends pursuant to Section 871(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. See Item 1. BusinessDividend Reinvestment Plan for a description of our distribution policy and
obligations.

Sachs Group, Inc. GS & Co. refers to Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and its predecessors. The term Goldman Sachs refers to Group Inc., together with GS & Co., GSAM and its other subsidiaries and

statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Please see Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with this discussion and
analysis. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to factors discussed under Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

We are
a specialty finance company focused on lending to middle-market companies. We are a closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (BDC)
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act). In addition, we have elected to be treated, and expect to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (RIC) under Subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2013. From our formation in 2012 through December 31, 2019, we originated more than $3.69 billion in aggregate
principal amount of debt and equity investments prior to any subsequent exits and repayments. We seek to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation primarily through direct originations of secured debt, including first
lien, unitranche, including last-out portions of such loans, and second lien debt, and unsecured debt, including mezzanine debt, as well as through select equity investments.

Unitranche loans are first lien loans that may extend deeper in a companys capital structure than
traditional first lien debt and may provide for a waterfall of cash flow priority between different lenders in the unitranche loan. In a number of instances, we may find another lender to provide the
first-out portion of such loan and retain the last-out portion of such loan, in which case, the
first-out portion of the loan would generally receive priority with respect to payment of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder over the
last-out portion that we would continue to hold. In exchange for the greater risk of loss, the last-out portion generally earns a higher interest
rate than the first-out portion. We use the term mezzanine to refer to debt that ranks senior only to a borrowers equity securities and ranks junior in right of payment to all of
such borrowers other indebtedness. We may make multiple investments in the same portfolio company.

We invest
primarily in U.S. middle-market companies, which we believe are underserved by traditional providers of capital such as banks and the public debt markets. In this report, we generally use the term middle market companies to refer to
companies with between $5 million and $200 million of annual earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding certain one-time, and non-recurring items that are outside the operations of these companies. However, we may from time to time invest in larger or smaller companies. We generate revenues primarily through receipt of interest income from
the investments we hold. In addition, we may generate income from various loan origination and other fees, dividends on direct equity investments and capital gains on the sales of investments. Fees received from portfolio companies (directors
fees, consulting fees, administrative fees, tax advisory fees and other similar compensation) are paid to us, unless, to the extent required by applicable law or exemptive relief therefrom, we only receive our allocable portion of such fees when
invested in the same portfolio company as another client account managed by our Investment Adviser (including GS PMMC, GS MMLC and GS PMMC II, collectively with other client accounts managed by our Investment Adviser, the Accounts). The
companies in which we invest use our capital for a variety of purposes, including to support organic growth, fund acquisitions, make capital investments or refinance indebtedness.

Our origination strategy focuses on leading the negotiation and structuring of the loans or securities in which we invest and
holding the investments in our portfolio to maturity. In many cases, we are the sole investor in the loan or security in our portfolio. Where there are multiple investors, we generally seek to control or obtain significant influence over the rights
of investors in the loan or security. We generally seek to make investments that have maturities between three and ten years and range in size between $10 million and $75 million, although we may make larger or smaller investments on
occasion.

Pending Merger with GS MMLC: On December 9, 2019, we entered into the Merger Agreement with GS
MMLC, a Delaware corporation, Evergreen Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub), and GSAM, a Delaware limited partnership and investment adviser to each of us and GS MMLC. The
Merger Agreement provides that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into GS MMLC, with GS MMLC continuing as the surviving company (the First Merger) and,
immediately thereafter, GS MMLC will merge with and into us, with us continuing as the surviving company (the Second Merger and, together with the First Merger, the Merger). See Note 14 in the notes to our consolidated
financial statements for further information.

Item 1A. Risk FactorsRisks Relating to Our Business and StructureWe operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities and Item 1. BusinessCompetitive Advantages.

KEY COMPONENTS OF OPERATIONS

Investments

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

As a BDC, we may not acquire any assets other than qualifying assets specified in the Investment Company Act,
unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in eligible portfolio companies. Pursuant to rules adopted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), eligible portfolio companies include certain companies that do not have any securities listed on a national securities exchange and public companies whose securities are
listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million.

Revenues

We generate revenues in the form of interest income on debt investments and, to a lesser extent, capital gains and
distributions, if any, on equity securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or
payment-in-kind (PIK) income. The principal amount of the debt investments and any accrued but unpaid interest generally becomes due at the maturity date.

We generate revenues primarily through receipt of interest income from the investments we hold. In addition, we may
generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring, syndication, exit fees or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees. Portfolio company fees (directors fees, consulting fees,
administrative fees, tax advisory fees and other similar compensation) will be paid to us, unless, to the extent required by applicable law or exemptive relief, if any, therefrom, we receive our allocable portion of such fees when invested in the
same portfolio company as other Accounts, which other Accounts could receive their allocable portion of such fee. We do not expect to receive material fee income as it is not our principal investment strategy. We record contractual prepayment
premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income.

Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on
an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Interest and dividend income are presented net of withholding tax, if any.

Expenses

Our
primary operating expenses include the payment of the Management Fee and the Incentive Fee to the Investment Adviser, legal and professional fees, interest and other debt expenses and other operating and overhead related expenses. The Management Fee
and Incentive Fee compensate our Investment Adviser for its work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing and monitoring our investments. We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions in accordance with our investment
management agreement (as amended and restated as of June 15, 2018, the Investment Management Agreement) and administration agreement (Administration Agreement), including those relating to:



| |  |  | our operational and organizational expenses;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fees and expenses, including travel expenses, incurred by our Investment Adviser or payable to third parties
related to our investments, including, among others, professional fees (including the fees and expenses of consultants and experts) and fees and expenses from evaluating, monitoring, researching and performing due diligence on investments and
prospective investments;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fees and expenses incurred by us in connection with membership in investment company organizations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | brokers commissions;
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | the expenses of and fees for registering or qualifying our shares for sale and of maintaining our registration
and registering us as a broker or a dealer;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fees and expenses associated with calculating our net asset value (NAV) (including expenses of any
independent valuation firm);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | legal, auditing or accounting expenses;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | taxes or governmental fees;
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | the fees and expenses of our administrator, transfer agent or
sub-transfer agent;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



61



---



| |  |  | the cost of preparing stock certificates or any other expenses, including clerical expenses of issue,
redemption or repurchase of our shares;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the fees and expenses of our directors who are not affiliated with our Investment Adviser;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of preparing and distributing reports, proxy statements and notices to our stockholders, the SEC and
other regulatory authorities;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | costs of holding stockholder meetings;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | listing fees;
| | - |  | -------------



| |  |  | the fees or disbursements of custodians of our assets, including expenses incurred in the performance of any
obligations enumerated by our certificate of incorporation or bylaws insofar as they govern agreements with any such custodian;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | insurance premiums; and
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | costs incurred in connection with any claim, litigation, arbitration, mediation, government investigation or
dispute in connection with our business and the amount of any judgment or settlement paid in connection therewith, or the enforcement of our rights against any person and indemnification or contribution expenses payable by us to any person and other
extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of our business.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We expect our general and
administrative expenses to be relatively stable or decline as a percentage of total assets during periods of asset growth and to increase during periods of asset declines. Costs relating to future offerings of securities would be incremental.

Leverage

Our
senior secured revolving credit agreement (as amended, the Revolving Credit Facility) with Truist Bank (formerly known as SunTrust Bank), as administrative agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and our 4.50% Convertible
Notes due 2022 (the Convertible Notes) allow us to borrow money and lever our investment portfolio, subject to the limitations of the Investment Company Act, with the objective of increasing our yield. This is known as
leverage and could increase or decrease returns to our stockholders. The use of leverage involves significant risks. On June 15, 2018, our stockholders approved the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements in
Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act to us. As a result of this approval, we are now permitted to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage ratio, as defined in the Investment Company Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing (if
certain requirements are met), rather than 200%, as previously required. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our asset coverage ratio based on the aggregate amount outstanding of our senior securities was 187% and 206%,
respectively.

Certain trading practices and investments, such as reverse repurchase agreements, may be considered
borrowings or involve leverage and thus may be subject to Investment Company Act restrictions. In accordance with applicable SEC staff guidance and interpretations, when we engage in such transactions, instead of maintaining an asset coverage ratio
of at least 150% (if certain requirements are met), we may segregate or earmark liquid assets, or enter into an offsetting position, in an amount at least equal to our exposure, on a
mark-to-market basis, to such transactions (as calculated pursuant to requirements of the SEC). Short-term credits necessary for the settlement of securities
transactions and arrangements with respect to securities lending will not be considered borrowings for these purposes. Practices and investments that may involve leverage but are not considered borrowings are not subject to the Investment Company
Acts asset coverage requirement, and we will not otherwise segregate or earmark liquid assets or enter into offsetting positions for such transactions. The amount of leverage that we employ will depend on our Investment Advisers and our
board of directors (the Board of Directors) assessment of market conditions and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing.

PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

Our portfolio (excluding our investment in a money market fund, if any, managed by an affiliate of Group Inc.) consisted of the
following:

As of December 31, 2019, the total portfolio weighted average
yield measured at amortized cost and fair value was 8.2% and 8.9%, respectively, which decreased from 9.5% and 10.1%, respectively, at December 31, 2018. The decrease in weighted average yield at amortized cost and fair value was primarily
driven by the decrease in LIBOR on our variable rate secured debt investments and the receipt of our pro rata portion of senior secured loans from the liquidation and dissolution of the Senior Credit Fund. As of December 31, 2019, the senior
secured loans received had a weighted average yield at amortized cost and fair value of 7.6% and 10.6%, respectively. In addition, the increase in the first lien/last-out unitranche weighted average yield at
amortized cost and fair value was primarily driven by the exit from our investments in NTS Communications, Inc.

| | (5) |  | For a particular portfolio company, we calculate the level of contractual indebtedness net of cash (net
debt) owed by the portfolio company and compare that amount to measures of cash flow available to service the net debt. To calculate net debt, we include debt that is both senior and pari passu to the tranche of debt owned by us but exclude
debt that is legally and contractually subordinated in ranking to the debt owned by us. We believe this calculation method assists in describing the risk of our portfolio investments, as it takes into consideration contractual rights of repayment of
the tranche of debt owned by us relative to other senior and junior creditors of a portfolio company. We typically calculate cash flow available for debt service at a portfolio company by taking EBITDA for the trailing twelve month period. Weighted
average net debt to EBITDA is weighted based on the fair value of our debt investments and excluding investments where net debt to EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are
underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue. The weighted average net debt to EBITDA calculation for the Company as of December 31, 2018 includes its exposure to underlying debt investments in the Senior Credit Fund.

For a particular portfolio company, we also calculate the level of
contractual interest expense owed by the portfolio company, and compare that amount to EBITDA (interest coverage ratio). We believe this calculation method assists in describing the risk of our portfolio investments, as it takes into
consideration contractual interest obligations of the portfolio company. Weighted average interest coverage is weighted based on the fair value of our performing debt investments, including our exposure to underlying debt investments in the Senior
Credit Fund and excluding investments where interest coverage may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.

Median EBITDA is based on our debt investments, including our exposure to underlying debt investments in the Senior Credit Fund
(as of December 31, 2018) and excluding investments where net debt to EBITDA may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk, such as cash collateralized loans and investments that are underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue.

Portfolio company statistics are derived from the most recently available financial statements of each portfolio company as
of the reported end date. Statistics of the portfolio companies have not been independently verified by us and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, investments where net debt to EBITDA
may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk represented 25.1% and 18.3%, respectively, of total debt investments, including as of December 31, 2018, our investment in the Senior Credit Fund, at fair value. Portfolio company statistics are
derived from the most recently available financial statements of each portfolio company as of the respective reported end date. Portfolio company statistics have not been independently verified by us and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount.

Floating rates are primarily London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread.

Our Investment Adviser monitors our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. It monitors the financial trends of each
portfolio company to determine if it is meeting its respective business plan and to assess the appropriate course of action for each company. Our Investment Adviser has several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of
our investments, which may include the following:



| |  |  | assessment of success in adhering to the portfolio companys business plan and compliance with covenants;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | periodic or regular contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic
sponsor to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | comparisons to our other portfolio companies in the industry, if any;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | attendance at and participation in board meetings or presentations by portfolio companies; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | review of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections of portfolio companies.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As part of the monitoring process, our Investment Adviser also employs an investment rating system to
categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our Investment Adviser grades the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 4 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to
reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (e.g., at the time of origination or acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances
the performance of the portfolio companys business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. The grading system is as follows:



| |  |  | investments with a grade of 1 involve the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk
factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a potential exit;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | investments with a grade of 2 involve a level of risk to our initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to
our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is generally performing as expected and the risk factors to our ability to ultimately recoup the cost of our investment are neutral to favorable. All
investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a grade of 2;

| |  |  | investments with a grade of 3 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such
investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and non-compliance with debt covenants; however, payments are generally not
more than 120 days past due; and

| |  |  | investments with a grade of 4 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such
investment has substantially increased since origination or acquisition, and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. For debt investments with an investment grade of 4, in most cases, most or all of the debt covenants are
out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For investments graded 4, it is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit.

Our Investment Adviser grades the investments in our portfolio at least
quarterly and it is possible that the grade of a portfolio investment may be reduced or increased over time. For investments graded 3 or 4, our Investment Adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company. The
following table shows the composition of our portfolio on the 1 to 4 grading scale:

The decrease in investments with a grade 1 investment performance rating as of
December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 was primarily due to the repayment of investments with an aggregate fair value of $87.76 million, partially offset by investments with an aggregate fair value of $12.17 million
being upgraded due to potential exits. The decrease in investments with a grade 4 investment performance rating as of December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 was primarily due to investments with an aggregate fair value of
$39.58 million as of December 31, 2018 being exchanged for common and preferred equity as well as the exit of a portfolio company with a fair value of $49.05 million. The decrease was partially offset by two investments with an
aggregate fair value of $15.2 million being downgraded from a grade 3 investment performance rating as a result of being placed on non-accrual status.

Investments are placed on non-accrual status when it
is probable that principal, interest or dividends will not be collected according to the contractual terms. Accrued interest or dividends generally are reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual
status. Interest or dividend payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment.
Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest or dividends are paid and, in managements judgment, principal and interest or dividend payments are likely to
remain current. We may make exceptions to this treatment if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Interest

Interest from investments, which includes prepayment premiums and accelerated accretion of upfront loan origination fees and
unamortized discounts, increased from $125.14 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $136.58 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily due to an increase in recurring interest income due to
an increase in the size of our portfolio and earning exit fees on certain investments. Included in interest for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is $1.92 million and $2.64 million, respectively, in prepayment premiums and
$4.57 million and $3.27 million, respectively, in accelerated accretion of upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts, and $5.89 million and $1.30 million, respectively, for exit fees on
investments.

Dividend income

Dividend income decreased from $10.70 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $3.63 million for the year
ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was due to the effective liquidation and dissolution of the Senior Credit Fund in May 2019. For additional information see Senior Credit Fund, LLC below and Note 4 Investments in our
consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Payment-in-kind

Payment-in-kind (PIK) income
from investments decreased from $8.79 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $4.47 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily driven by the full exit from our investments in NTS
Communications, Inc. in August 2019, which was previously on non-accrual status.

Interest and other debt expenses

Interest and other debt expenses increased from $26.23 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 to
$36.31 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in weighted average interest rate for the Revolving Credit Facility from 3.97% to 4.18% and the increase in average daily borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility from $416.12 to $611.50 million. In addition, costs associated with the Convertible Notes increased from $7.32 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $8.61 million for the year ended
December 31, 2019.

Management Fees and Incentive Fees

Management fees decreased from $15.97 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $14.70 million for the
year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by the reduction in the Management Fee from an annual rate of 1.50% to an annual rate of 1.00% effective on June 15, 2018, partially offset by an increase in gross assets,
excluding cash or cash equivalents. Incentive fees decreased from $13.99 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $9.22 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by net capital losses
on certain portfolio companies.

Professional fees and other general and administrative expenses

Professional fees and other general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 remained relatively
consistent as compared to the year ended December 31, 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, net realized losses were primarily driven by our
investments in three portfolio companies. In February 2019, our first lien/last-out unitranche debt and second lien debt investment in ASC Acquisition Holdings, LLC was exchanged for preferred and common
equity, which resulted in a realized loss of $24.72 million. In addition, in April 2019, our second lien debt investment in Country Fresh Holdings, LLC was exchanged for common equity, which resulted in a realized loss of $8.41 million.
Lastly, in August 2019, we fully exited our investments in NTS Communications, Inc., which resulted in a realized loss of $7.22 million.

Net change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) in our investments for the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily driven by the unrealized depreciation in Zep, Inc., Bolttech Mannings, Inc. and Animal Supply Holdings, LLC due to financial underperformance and
the unrealized depreciation in IHS Intermediate Inc. (dba Interactive Health Solutions) and MPI Products LLC which were placed on non-accrual status due to their capital condition. The net change was offset by
the reversal of unrealized depreciation in connection with the aforementioned exchange with ASC Acquisition Holdings, LLC. and the full exit from our investments in NTS Communications, Inc. and the unrealized appreciation in CB-HDT Holdings, Inc. due to improved financial performance.

The Senior Credit Fund, an unconsolidated Delaware limited liability company, was formed on May 7, 2014 and commenced
operations on October 1, 2014. We invested together with Cal Regents through the Senior Credit Fund. The Senior Credit Funds principal purpose was to make investments, either directly or indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Senior Credit Fund SPV I, LLC (SPV I), primarily in senior secured loans to middle-market companies. Each of us and Cal Regents were responsible for sourcing the Senior Credit Funds investments. Each of us and Cal Regents had a 50%
economic ownership in the Senior Credit Fund and each had subscribed to and has fully contributed $100.00 million. On December 19, 2016, SPV I entered into an amended and restated credit facility (as amended, the Asset Based
Facility), which consisted of a revolving credit facility (the SPV I Revolving Credit Facility), a term loan facility (the SPV I Term Loan Facility) and a Class B loan facility (the SPV I Class B
Facility), with various lenders. For the Asset Based Facility, Natixis, New York Branch (Natixis) served as the facility agent, and State Street Bank and Trust Company served as the collateral agent. On February 27, 2019, the
board of managers of the Senior Credit Fund authorized the liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Senior Credit Fund and the pro-rata distribution of its assets and liabilities to the members of the
Senior Credit Fund. On May 8, 2019, we and Cal Regents each contributed $125.56 million to the Senior Credit Fund, which was used by the Senior Credit Fund to repay in full all outstanding indebtedness, including all accrued and unpaid
interest and fees, under the Asset Based Facility and to fund certain other related expenses that the Senior Credit Fund expects to incur in connection with its dissolution. The Asset Based Facility was then terminated and all liens securing the
collateral under the Asset Based Facility were released and terminated.

Following the repayment and termination of the
aforementioned Asset Based Facility, the Senior Credit Fund distributed to its members their pro rata share of the assets of the Senior Credit Fund. The pro rata portion of the assets received by us included senior secured loans of
$215.10 million and $210.09 million at amortized cost and at fair value, respectively and cash of $9.82 million. In addition, we assumed the obligation to fund outstanding unfunded commitments of the Senior Credit Fund that totaled
$5.66 million, representing its pro rata portion of all unfunded commitments of the Senior Credit Fund at such time. The pro rata portion of the assets received by us have been included in our consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto. After the satisfaction of all remaining liabilities and the distribution of remaining assets, the Senior Credit Fund was terminated.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The primary use of existing funds and any funds raised in the future is expected to be for our investments in portfolio
companies, cash distributions to our stockholders or for other general corporate purposes, including paying for operating expenses or debt service to the extent we borrow or issue senior securities.

We expect to generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of any future offerings of securities, future borrowings and cash
flows from operations. To the extent we determine that additional capital would allow us to take advantage of additional investment opportunities, if the market for debt financing presents attractively priced debt financing opportunities, or if our
Board of Directors otherwise determines that leveraging our portfolio would be in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders, we may enter into credit facilities in addition to our existing credit facilities as discussed below, or
issue other senior securities. We would expect any such credit facilities may be secured by certain of our assets and may contain advance rates based upon pledged collateral. The pricing and other terms of any such facilities would depend upon
market conditions when we enter into any such facilities as well as the performance of our business, among other factors. As a BDC, with certain limited exceptions, we are only permitted to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage ratio, as
defined in the Investment Company Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing (if certain requirements are met). See Key Components of OperationsLeverage. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our asset
coverage ratio based on the aggregate amount outstanding of our senior securities was 0% and 206%, respectively. We may also refinance or repay any of our indebtedness at any time based on our financial condition and market conditions.

We may enter into investment commitments through signed commitment letters which may ultimately become investment transactions
in the future. We regularly evaluate and carefully consider our unfunded commitments using GSAMs proprietary risk management framework for the purpose of planning our capital resources and ongoing liquidity, including our financial leverage.

As of December 31, 2019, we had cash of approximately $9.41 million, an increase of $3.30 million from
December 31, 2018. Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was approximately $35.27 million, primarily driven by a decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $36.15 million, proceeds
from sales and principal repayments of $579.01 million and cash used by other operating activities of $49.95 million, offset by purchases of investments of $700.38 million. Cash used by financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2019 was approximately $38.56 million, primarily driven by repayments on debt of $451.6 million, distributions paid of $69.85 million and other financing activities of $0.58 million, offset by borrowings on debt
of $560.59 million.

As of December 31, 2018, we had cash of approximately $6.11 million, a decrease of
$5.49 million from December 31, 2017. Cash used by operating activities for year ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $49.24 million, primarily driven by an increase in net assets resulting from operations of
$53.68 million, proceeds from sales and principal repayments of $321.72 million, proceeds from other operating activities of $13.90 million and proceeds from net sale of investments in affiliated money market fund of
$11.54 million, offset by purchases of investments of $450.08 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $43.75 million, primarily driven by repayments on debt of
$365.75 million, distributions paid of $70.37 million and other financing activities of $4.05 million, offset by borrowings on debt of $483.92 million.

To the extent permissible under the risk retention rules and applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, we may raise
capital by securitizing certain of our investments, including through the formation of one or more CLOs or asset based facilities, while retaining all or most of the exposure to the performance of these investments. This would involve contributing a
pool of assets to a special purpose entity, and selling debt interests in such entity on a non-recourse or limited-recourse basis to purchasers. We may also pursue other forms of debt financing, including
potentially from the Small Business Administration through a future small business investment company subsidiary (subject to regulatory approvals).

Equity Issuances

There were no sales of our common stock during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Common Stock Repurchase Plans

In February 2016, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $25.00 million of our common stock if the stock
trades below the most recently announced NAV per share (including any updates, corrections or adjustments publicly announced by us to any previously announced NAV per share), from March 18, 2016 to March 18, 2017, subject to certain
limitations. In February 2017, our Board of Directors renewed its authorization of the stock repurchase plan to extend the expiration to March 18, 2018, in February 2018, again renewed its authorization of the stock repurchase plan to extend
the expiration to March 18, 2019 and, in February 2019, again renewed its authorization of the stock repurchase plan to extend the expiration to March 18, 2020.

In connection with this authorization, we entered into a 10b5-1 plan (the Initial Company 10b5-1 Plan). The Initial Company 10b5-1 Plan initially took effect on March 18, 2016
(with any purchases to commence after the opening of NYSE trading on March 21, 2016), was subsequently renewed and expired on March 18, 2018. We entered into an agreement to renew the Initial Company
10b5-1 Plan on May 14, 2018, which was terminated on June 27, 2018 in connection with our offering of Convertible Notes described below in Convertible Notes. On June 27, 2018,
we entered into an agreement to renew the Initial Company 10b5-1 Plan with any purchases pursuant to the agreement to commence on September 25, 2018. The Initial Company
10b5-1 Plan expired on March 18, 2019.

In February 2019, our Board of
Directors approved the Company 10b5-1 Plan, which provides for us to repurchase of up to $25.00 million of shares of our common stock if the stock trades below the most recently announced net asset
value per share, subject to limitations. Under the Company 10b5-1 Plan, no purchases will be made if such purchases would (i) cause the aggregate ownership of our outstanding stock by Group Inc. and
GS & Co. to equal or exceed 25.0% (due to the reduction in outstanding shares of stock as a result of purchase) or (ii) cause our Debt/Equity Ratio to exceed the lower of (a) 1.40 or (b) the Maximum Debt/Equity Ratio. In the
Company 10b5-1 Plan, Debt/Equity Ratio means the sum of debt on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the total notional value of the Purchasers unfunded commitments
divided by 85% of total equity, as of the most recent reported financial statement end date, and Maximum Debt/Equity Ratio means the sum of debt on the balance sheet and committed uncalled debt divided by net assets, as of the most
recent reported financial statement end date. The Company 10b5-1 Plan took effect on March 18, 2019, expires on March 18, 2020 and purchases thereunder will be conducted on a programmatic basis in
accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act and other applicable securities laws. The
Company 10b5-1 Plan was temporarily suspended on December 9, 2019 and remains suspended as of February 20, 2020.

Repurchases of our common stock under the Company 10b5-1 Plan or otherwise may result
in the price of our common stock being higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, we did not repurchase any of our common stock pursuant to the Initial Company 10b5-1 Plan, the Company 10b5-1 Plan or otherwise.

Dividend Reinvestment
Plan

We adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of all cash distributions declared by
the Board of Directors unless a stockholder elects to opt out of the plan. As a result, if the Board of Directors declares a cash distribution, then the stockholders who have not opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan
will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution. Due to regulatory considerations, Group Inc. has opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan, and
GS & Co. has opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan in respect of any shares of our common stock acquired through the GS 10b5-1 Plan.

The following table summarizes shares distributed pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan to stockholders who had not opted
out of the dividend reinvestment plan.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into certain contracts under which we have future commitments. Payments under the Investment Management
Agreement, pursuant to which GSAM has agreed to serve as our Investment Adviser, are equal to (1) a percentage of value of our average gross assets and (2) a two-part Incentive Fee. Under the
Administration Agreement, pursuant to which State Street Bank and Trust Company has agreed to furnish us with the administrative services necessary to conduct our
day-to-day operations, we pay our administrator such fees as may be agreed between us and our administrator that we determine are commercially reasonable in our sole
discretion. Either party or the stockholders, by a vote of a majority of our outstanding voting securities, may terminate the Investment Management Agreement without penalty on at least 60 days written notice to the other party. Either party
may terminate the Administration Agreement without penalty upon at least 30 days written notice to the other party.

Revolving Credit Facility

On September 19, 2013, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility with various lenders. Truist Bank (formerly known as
SunTrust Bank) serves as administrative agent and Bank of America N.A. serves as syndication agent. We amended and restated the Revolving Credit Facility on October 3, 2014, November 3, 2015, December 16, 2016, February 21, 2018
and September 17, 2018.

The aggregate committed borrowing amount under the Revolving Credit Facility is
$795.00 million. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows us, under certain circumstances, to increase the borrowing capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility up to $1,000.00 million.

Borrowings denominated in USD, including amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit, bear interest (at our election) of
either (i) LIBOR plus a margin of either 1.75% or 2.00%, subject to borrowing base conditions or (ii) an alternative base rate, which is the higher of the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or overnight LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus either
0.75% or 1.00%, subject to borrowing base conditions. Borrowings denominated in EUR bear interest (at our election) or EUR LIBOR plus a margin of either 1.75% or 2.00%, subject to borrowing base conditions. We may elect either the LIBOR, EUR LIBOR,
or an alternative base rate at the time of borrowing, and borrowings may be converted from one rate to another at any time, subject to certain conditions. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. We pay a fee of 0.375% per annum on committed but
undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable, on February 21, 2023.

The Revolving Credit Facility may be guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries, including any that are formed or
acquired by us in the future (collectively, the Guarantors). Proceeds from borrowings may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of portfolio investments.

Our obligations to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in
substantially all of our portfolio of investments and cash, with certain exceptions. The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants, including: (i) maintaining a minimum shareholders equity of $500.00 million plus 25% of
net proceeds of the sale of equity interests after February 21, 2018, (ii) maintaining a minimum asset coverage ratio of at least 150%, (iii) maintaining a minimum asset coverage ratio of 200% with respect to consolidated assets (with certain
limitations on the contribution of equity in financing subsidiaries as specified therein) of us and our subsidiary guarantors to the secured debt of us and our subsidiary guarantors, (iv) maintaining a minimum Company net worth of at least
$350.00 million, (v) maintaining a minimum liquidity test of at least 10% of the covered debt amount during any period when the adjusted covered debt balance is greater than 90% of the adjusted borrowing base, as defined in the Revolving
Credit Facility, and (vi) complying with restrictions on industry concentrations in our investment portfolio. We are in compliance with these covenants.

The Revolving Credit Facility also includes customary representations and warranties, conditions precedent to funding of draws
and events of default.

Convertible Notes

On October 3, 2016, we closed an offering of $115.00 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured Convertible
Notes, which included $15.00 million aggregate principal amount issued pursuant to the initial purchasers exercise in full of an over-allotment option (the Initial Convertible Notes). The sale of the Initial Convertible Notes
generated net proceeds of approximately $110.90 million. We used the net proceeds of the offering to pay down debt under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On July 2, 2018, we closed an offering of $40.00 million aggregate additional principal amount (the Additional
Convertible Notes and, together with the Initial Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes). The Additional Convertible Notes have identical terms, are fungible and are part of the Initial Convertible Notes. The sale of the
Additional Convertible Notes generated net proceeds of approximately $38.57 million. We used the net proceeds of the offering to pay down debt under the Revolving Credit Facility.

---



The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture between us and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and/or its affiliates provide bank lending and distribution services to certain Goldman Sachs funds. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.50%
per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2017. The Convertible Notes will mature on April 1, 2022, unless repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms
prior to such date. In certain circumstances, the Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, based on an initial conversion rate of 40.8397 shares of our
common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $24.49 per share of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and the other terms of the indenture
governing the Convertible Notes. The conversion price is approximately 10.0% above the $22.26 per share closing price of our common stock on September 27, 2016 and 16.7% above the $20.99 per share closing price of our common stock on
June 26, 2018. We will not have the right to redeem the Convertible Notes prior to maturity.

Holders may convert
their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 1, 2021 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter, if the last reported sale price of
our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion
price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading
day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after
October 1, 2021, until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any of the foregoing circumstances.

The Convertible Notes are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Upon conversion of any of the Convertible Notes, we intend to pay the outstanding principal amount in cash and, to the extent that the conversion value exceeds
the principal amount, we have the option to pay the excess amount in cash or shares of our common stock (or a combination of cash and shares), subject to the requirements of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes. We have determined that the
embedded conversion options in the Convertible Notes are not required to be separately accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. At the time of issuance the values of the debt and equity components of the Initial
Convertible Notes and Additional Convertible Notes were approximately 99.4% and 0.6%, and 97.9% and 2.1%, respectively.

The OID equal to the equity component of the Convertible Notes was recorded in
paid-in capital in excess of par in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. We record interest expense comprised of both stated interest and amortization of the OID. At
the time of issuance, the equity component of the Initial Convertible Notes and the Additional Convertible Notes were $0.74 million and $0.84 million, respectively. Additionally, the issuance costs associated with the Convertible Notes
were allocated to the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the values at the time of issuance and accounted for as debt issuance costs and equity issuance costs, respectively.

HEDGING

Subject to
applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act and applicable Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulations, we may enter into hedging transactions in a manner consistent with SEC guidance. To the extent that any of our
loans are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, we may enter into currency hedging contracts to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. We may also enter into interest rate hedging agreements. Such hedging
activities, which will be subject to compliance with applicable legal requirements, may include the use of futures, options, swaps and forward contracts. Costs incurred in entering into such contracts or in settling them, if any, will be borne by
us. The Investment Adviser has claimed no-action relief from CFTC registration and regulation as a commodity pool operator pursuant to a CFTC Rule 4.5 with respect to our operations, with the result that we
will be limited in our ability to use futures contracts or options on futures contracts or engage in swap transactions. Specifically, CFTC Rule 4.5 imposes strict limitations on using such derivatives other than for hedging purposes, whereby the use
of derivatives not used solely for hedging purposes is generally limited to situations where (i) the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish such positions does not exceed five percent of the liquidation value of our
portfolio, after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contracts it has entered into; or (ii) the aggregate net notional value of such derivatives does not exceed 100% of the liquidation value of our
portfolio. Moreover, we anticipate entering into transactions involving such derivatives to a very limited extent solely for hedging purposes or otherwise within the limitations of CFTC Rule 4.5.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We may become a party to investment commitments and to financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of our business to fund investments and to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. These instruments may include commitments to extend credit and
involve, to varying degrees, elements of liquidity and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2019, we believed that we had adequate financial resources to satisfy our unfunded commitments. Our
unfunded commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies were as follows:

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On February 10, 2020, we closed an offering of $360.00 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% notes due 2025 (the
Notes). The Notes will mature on February 10, 2025 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option at any time at par plus a make-whole premium, if applicable. We used the net proceeds of the offering to pay down debt
under our Revolving Credit Facility.

On February 19, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution
of $0.45 per share payable on April 15, 2020 to holders of record as of March 31, 2020.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ
materially. In addition to the discussion below, our critical accounting policies are further described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of Portfolio Investments

As a BDC, we conduct the valuation of our assets, pursuant to which our NAV is determined, consistent with GAAP and the
Investment Company Act. Our Board of Directors, with the assistance of our Audit Committee, determines the fair value of our assets within the meaning of the Investment Company Act, on at least a quarterly basis, in accordance with the terms of
Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (ASC 820).

ASC 820
defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific
measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable market transactions or market information might be available. For other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and market information might not be available. However, the
objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is the sameto estimate the price when an orderly transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current
market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which ranks the observability of inputs used in measuring financial
instruments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instruments and their specific characteristics. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices, or for which fair
value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value. The levels used for classifying investments are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities.

The three-level hierarchy for fair
value measurement is defined as follows:

Level1inputs to the valuation methodology are
quoted prices available in active markets for identical instruments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets.

Level2inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices in active
markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. The type of financial instruments in this category includes less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active
markets, government and agency securities, and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.

Level 3inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The
inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include investments in privately held entities and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.



75



---



In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into
different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given financial instrument is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair
value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument.

Currently, the majority of our investments fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We do not expect that there
will be readily available market values for most of the investments which are in our portfolio, and we value such investments at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of our Board of Directors using a documented valuation
policy, described below, and a consistently applied valuation process. The factors that may be taken into account in pricing our investments at fair value include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio
companys ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, and the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. Available current market data are
considered such as applicable market yields and multiples of publicly traded securities, comparison of financial ratios of peer companies, and changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar
investments would trade in their principal market, and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we consider the pricing indicated by the external event to
corroborate or revise our valuation.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available,
or for which market quotations are deemed not reflective of the fair value, the valuation procedures adopted by our Board of Directors contemplates a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:



| | (1) | Our quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by
the investment professionals of our Investment Adviser responsible for the portfolio investment;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | Our Board of Directors also engages independent valuation firms (the Independent Valuation
Advisors) to provide independent valuations of the investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of an investment. The Independent Valuation Advisors
independently value such investments using quantitative and qualitative information provided by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser as well as any market quotations obtained from independent pricing services, brokers, dealers or
market dealers. The Independent Valuation Advisors also provide analyses to support their valuation methodology and calculations. The Independent Valuation Advisors provide an opinion on a final range of values on such investments to our Board of
Directors or the Audit Committee. The Independent Valuation Advisors define fair value in accordance with ASC 820 and utilize valuation approaches including the market approach, the income approach or both. A portion of the portfolio is reviewed on
a quarterly basis, and all investments in the portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available, or are readily available, but deemed not reflective of the fair value of an investment, are reviewed at least annually by an Independent
Valuation Advisor;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | The Independent Valuation Advisors preliminary valuations are reviewed by our Investment Adviser and
the Valuation Oversight Group (VOG), a team that is part of the Controllers Department within the Finance Division of Goldman Sachs. The Independent Valuation Advisors ranges are compared to our Investment Advisers valuations
to ensure our Investment Advisers valuations are reasonable. VOG presents the valuations to the Private Investment Valuation and Side Pocket Working Group of the Investment Management Division Valuation Committee, which is comprised of
representatives from GSAM who are independent of the investment making decision process;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (4) | The Investment Management Division Valuation Committee ratifies fair valuations and makes recommendations to
the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (5) | The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors reviews valuation information provided by the Investment
Management Division Valuation Committee, our Investment Adviser and the Independent Valuation Advisors. The Audit Committee then assesses such valuation recommendations; and
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (6) | Our Board of Directors discusses the valuations and, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act,
determines the fair value of our investments in good faith, based on the input of our Investment Adviser, the Independent Valuation Advisors and the Audit Committee.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income

We record our investment transactions on a trade date basis, which is the date when we assume the risks for gains and losses
related to that instrument. Realized gains and losses are based on the specific identification method. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Interest income and dividend income are presented net of withholding tax, if any. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, which are included in
interest income and expense, are recorded over the life of the underlying instrument using the effective interest method.

Fair value generally is based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative price sources. In the
absence of quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative price sources, investments in securities are measured at fair value as determined by our Investment Adviser and/or by one or more independent third parties.

Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that
would have been realized had a ready market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material. For additional information, see Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements included
in this report.

Non-Accrual Status

Investments are placed on non-accrual status when it is probable that principal,
interest or dividends will not be collected according to the contractual terms. Accrued interest or dividends generally are reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest or dividend
payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment. Non-accrual investments are
restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest or dividends are paid and, in managements judgment, principal and interest or dividend payments are likely to remain current. We may make exceptions to this treatment if the
investment has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of December 31, 2019, we had certain investments held in three portfolio companies on non-accrual status, which
represented 2.0% and 1.0% of the total investments (excluding our investment in a money market fund, if any, managed by an affiliate of Group Inc.) at amortized cost and at fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, we had certain
investments held in three portfolio companies on non-accrual status, which represented 8.3% and 7.0% of the total investments (excluding our investment in a money market fund, if any, managed by an affiliate
of Group Inc.) at amortized cost and at fair value, respectively.

Distribution Policy

We intend to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. Future quarterly
distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. All distributions will be subject to lawfully available funds therefor, and no assurance can be given that we will be able to declare distributions in future periods.

We have elected to be treated, and expect to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, commencing with our
taxable year ended December 31, 2013. To maintain our tax treatment as a RIC, we must, among other things, timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income for each taxable year. We intend to timely
distribute to our stockholders substantially all of our annual taxable income for each year, except that we may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and carry forward taxable income for distribution in the following year and pay any
applicable tax. The distributions we pay to our stockholders in a year may exceed our net ordinary income and capital gains for that year and, accordingly, a portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. The specific tax characteristics of our distributions will be reported to stockholders after the end of the calendar year. Stockholders should read carefully any written disclosure regarding a distribution from us and should not assume
that the source of any distribution is our net ordinary income or capital gains.

We have adopted an opt out
dividend reinvestment plan for our common stockholders. As a result, if our Board of Directors declares a cash distribution, each stockholder that has not opted out of our dividend reinvestment plan will have its distribution
automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock rather than receiving the cash distribution. Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will generally be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and
local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions; however, since their cash distributions will be reinvested, those stockholders will not receive cash with which to pay any applicable taxes. Due to regulatory considerations, Group Inc.
has opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan, and GS & Co. has opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan in respect of any shares of our common stock acquired through the GS 10b5-1 Plan.

---



Federal Income Taxes

As a RIC, we generally will not be required to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any net ordinary income or
capital gains that we timely distribute to our stockholders as dividends. To maintain our RIC status, we must meet specified source-of-income and asset diversification
requirements and timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income for each year. Depending upon the level of taxable income earned in a year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income for distribution
in the following year and pay any applicable tax. We generally will be required to pay a U.S. federal excise tax if our distributions during a calendar year do not exceed the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain
deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (3) any net ordinary
income and capital gains in excess of capital losses for preceding years that were not distributed during such years.

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

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to financial market risks, most significantly changes in interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity refers to the
change in our earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we expect to fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is expected to be affected by the difference between the rate at
which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. 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.

As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, on a fair value basis, approximately 0.6% and 3.4%, respectively, of
our performing debt investments bore interest at a fixed rate (including income producing preferred stock investments), and approximately 99.4% and 96.6%, respectively, of our performing debt investments bore interest at a floating rate. Our
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate and the Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate.

We regularly measure our exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on
an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities.

Based on our
December 31, 2019 balance sheet, the following table shows the annual impact on net income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and
borrowing structure:

We may, in the future, hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging
instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act, applicable CFTC regulations and in a manner consistent with SEC guidance. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse
changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedules of investments, of
Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc.and its subsidiaries(the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,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, 2019, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements).We also have audited the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,and the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Companys management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under item 9A. Our responsibility is to
express opinions on the Companys consolidatedfinancial statements and on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidatedfinancial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects.

Our audits of the consolidatedfinancial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidatedfinancial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidatedfinancial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidatedfinancial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, portfolio company investees, transfer agent, and brokers; when replies were not
received, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

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

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that
was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex
judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion
on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of Certain Level 3 Debt Investments
Developed Using Significant Unobservable Inputs Utilized in the Income Approach

As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company held $1,341 million of total level 3 investments at fair value as of December 31, 2019, with debt investments representing approximately 93% of this total. For $1,041 million or 84% of those level 3 debt investments, the fair
values were determined by management using the income approach. The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach are the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the
underlying investment. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates or market yields is risk of default, rating of the investment, call provisions and comparable company investments.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of certain level 3 debt investments
developed using significant unobservable inputs utilized in the income approach is a critical audit matter are that there was significant judgment and estimation by management to determine the fair value of these investments due to the development
of the discount rate or market yield. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort to perform procedures and to evaluate the audit evidence obtained related to the valuation of certain level 3 debt investments. In
addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the
consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of certain level 3 debt investments, including controls over the development of significant unobservable inputs used in the
income approach, including the discount rate or market yield. These procedures also included, among others, either (i) testing managements process for determining the fair value estimate, which included evaluating the appropriateness of the
discounted cash flow technique; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of the underlying data used in the technique; and evaluating the significant unobservable inputs used by management, including the discount rate or market yield, by
considering the consistency of the unobservable inputs with external market and industry data and evidence obtained in other areas of the audit; or (ii) the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in developing an
independent fair value estimate range for certain level 3 debt investments and comparison of managements estimate to the independently developed range of fair value estimates. Developing the independent range involved developing independent
significant unobservable inputs for the discount rate or market yield in order to evaluate the reasonableness of managements fair value estimate of these certain level 3 debt investments using a range of available market information.

Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc.

Consolidated Schedule of Investments as of December 31, 2019 (continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)



|* |  | Assets are pledged as collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility. See Note 6 Debt.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(+) |  | Represents the actual interest rate for partially or fully funded debt in effect as of the reporting date.
Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR (L) or alternate base rate (commonly based on the Prime Rate (P)), at the borrowers option, which reset periodically based
on the terms of the credit agreement. L loans are typically indexed to 12 month, 6 month, 3 month, 2 month, 1 month or 1 week L rates. As of December 31, 2019, rates for the 12 month, 6 month, 3 month, 2 month, 1 month and 1 week L are 2.00%,
1.91%, 1.91%, 1.83%, 1.76% and 1.63%, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, P was 4.75%. For investments with multiple reference rates or alternate base rates, the interest rate shown is the weighted average interest rate in effect at
December 31, 2019.
|--- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(++) |  | The total par amount is presented for debt investments, while the number of shares or units owned is presented
for equity investments. Par amount is denominated in U.S. Dollars ($) unless otherwise noted, Euro ().
|---- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|# |  | Percentages are based on net assets.
|- |  | ------------------------------------

|^ |  | As defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, the investment is deemed to be an affiliated
person of the Company because the Company owns, either directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the portfolio companys outstanding voting securities. See Note 3 Significant Agreements and Related Party Transactions.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|^^ |  | As defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, the investment is deemed to be a controlled affiliated
person of the Company because the Company owns, either directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the portfolio companys outstanding voting securities or has the power to exercise control over management or policies of such portfolio
company. See Note 3 Significant Agreements and Related Party Transactions.
|-- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|^^^ |  | The portfolio company is otherwise deemed to be an affiliated person of the Company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. See Note 3 Significant Agreements and Related Party Transactions.
|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(1) |  | The fair value of the investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs. See Note 5 Fair
Value Measurement.
|--- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) |  | Represent co-investments made with the Companys affiliates in
accordance with the terms of the exemptive relief that the Company received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. See Note 3 Significant Agreements and Related Party Transactions.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) |  | Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded
portion. The unfunded loan commitment may be subject to a commitment termination date that may expire prior to the maturity date stated. The negative cost, if applicable, is the result of capitalized discount being greater than the principal amount
outstanding on the loan. The negative fair value, if applicable, is the result of the capitalized discount on the loan. See Note 8 Commitments and Contingencies.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) |  | The investment includes an exit fee that is receivable upon repayment of the loan. See Note 2 Significant
Accounting Policies.
|--- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(5) |  | The investment is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time of acquisition, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Companys total assets. As of December 31, 2019 the aggregate fair
value of these securities is $55,945 or 3.79% of the Companys total assets.
|--- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(6) |  | Non-income producing security.
|--- |  | ------------------------------

|(7) |  | In exchange for the greater risk of loss, the last-out
portion of the Companys unitranche loan investment generally earns a higher interest rate than the first-out portions. The first-out
portion of the loan would generally receive priority with respect to payment of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder over the last-out portion that the Company would continue to
hold.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(8) |  | The investment is on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2019.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

|(9) |  | Securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act), and may
be deemed to be restricted securities under the Securities Act. As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate fair value of these securities is $96,746 or 14.31% of the Companys net assets. The acquisition dates of the restricted
securities are as follows:

|(+) |  | The Consolidated Schedule of Investments discloses the actual interest rate for partially or fully funded debt
in effect as of the reporting date. Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR (L) or alternate base rate (commonly based on the Prime Rate (P)), at the borrowers
option, which reset periodically based on the terms of the credit agreement. L loans are typically indexed to 12 month, 6 month, 3 month, 2 month, 1 month or 1 week L rates. As of December 31, 2018, rates for the 12 month, 6 month, 3 month, 2
month, 1 month and 1 week L are 3.01%, 2.88%, 2.81%, 2.61%, 2.50% and 2.41%, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, P was 5.50%. For investments with multiple reference rates or alternate base rates, the interest rate shown is the weighted
average interest rate in effect at December 31, 2018.

Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)



|1. | ORGANIZATION
|-- | ------------

Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. (the Company, which term refers to either Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. or Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. together with
its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context may require) was initially established as Goldman Sachs Liberty Harbor Capital, LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company (SMLLC), on September 26, 2012 and commenced
operations on November 15, 2012 with The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (Group Inc.) as its sole member. On March 29, 2013, the Company elected to be regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act). Effective April 1, 2013, the Company converted from a SMLLC to a Delaware corporation. In addition, the Company has elected to be treated 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, 2013.

The Companys investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation primarily through direct
originations of secured debt, including first lien debt, unitranche, including last-out portions of such loans, and second lien debt, and unsecured debt, including mezzanine debt, as well as through select
equity investments.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (GSAM), a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of Goldman
Sachs & Co. LLC (including its predecessors, GS & Co.), is the investment adviser (the Investment Adviser) of the Company. The term Goldman Sachs refers to Group Inc., together with GS &
Co., GSAM and its other subsidiaries.

On March 23, 2015, the Company completed its initial public offering (IPO) and the
Companys common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol GSBD.

The
Company has formed wholly owned subsidiaries, which are structured as Delaware limited liability companies, to hold certain equity or equity-like investments in portfolio companies and to effect the Merger (as defined below).

The Merger

On December 9, 2019, the
Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Goldman Sachs Middle Market Lending Corp. (GS MMLC), a Delaware corporation, Evergreen Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub), and GSAM, a Delaware limited partnership and investment adviser to each of the Company and GS MMLC. The Merger Agreement provides that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into GS MMLC, with GS MMLC continuing as the surviving company (the First Merger) and, immediately thereafter, GS MMLC will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as
the surviving company (the Second Merger and, together with the First Merger, the Merger).

In the First Merger,
each share of GS MMLC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) will be converted into 0.9939 shares of the
Companys common stock (the Exchange Ratio). The Exchange Ratio will only be adjusted if, between the date of the Merger Agreement and the effective time of the First Merger, (i) either the Company or GS MMLC declares or pays
an extraordinary dividend, or (ii) the respective outstanding shares of the Companys common stock or GS MMLC common stock shall have been increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
securities, in each case, as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or if a stock dividend or dividend
payable in any other securities shall be declared with a record date within such period, other than shares issued pursuant to the Companys distribution reinvestment plan, as permitted by the Merger Agreement. Any holder of GS MMLC common stock
converted pursuant to the First Merger that would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of the Companys common stock will receive cash in lieu thereof.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to the operation of each
of the Companys and GS MMLCs businesses during the period prior to the closing of the Merger. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Merger Agreement.

Basis of Presentation

The Companys
functional currency is U.S. dollars (USD) and these consolidated financial statements have been prepared in that currency. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and pursuant to Regulation S-X. This requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in
the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These consolidated financial statements reflect normal and recurring adjustments that in the opinion of the Company are necessary for the fair statement of the results for the periods
presented. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions included in the consolidated financial statements.

---



Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation. The reclassification has no effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or the consolidated results of operations as previously reported.

As an investment company, the Company applies the accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
Topic 946,Financial Services  Investment Companies (ASC 946) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).

Basis of Consolidation

As provided under
ASC 946, the Company will not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated
the financial position and results of operations of its wholly owned subsidiaries, BDC Blocker I, LLC (formerly known as My-On BDC Blocker, LLC), GSBD Blocker II, LLC and GSBD Wine I, LLC. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company did not consolidate its previous equity
interest in Senior Credit Fund, LLC (the Senior Credit Fund). For further description of the Companys previous investment in the Senior Credit Fund, see Note 4 Investments.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records
its investment transactions on a trade date basis, which is the date when the Company assumes the risks for gains and losses related to that instrument. Realized gains and losses are based on the specific identification method.

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums to
par value on investments purchased are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the life of the respective investment using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discount (OID) and
market discounts or premiums are capitalized and amortized into interest income using the effective interest method or straight-line method, as applicable. Exit fees that are receivable upon repayment of a loan or debt security are amortized into
interest income over the life of the respective investment. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income, for which the
Company has earned the following:



|                                                                                    |  |                                  |       |  |      |   |       |      |  |   |       | 
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |  | -------------------------------- | ----- |  | ---- | - | ----- | ---- |  | - | ----- | 
|                                                                                    |  | For the Years Ended December 31, |      
|                                                                                    |  | 2019                             |       |  | 2018 |   |       | 2017 | 
|Prepayment premiums                                                                 |  | $                                | 1,925 |  |      | $ | 2,643 |      |  | $ | 2,538 | 
|Accelerated amortization of upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts |  | $                                | 4,573 |  |      | $ | 3,265 |      |  | $ | 4,531 | 

Fees received from portfolio companies (directors fees, consulting fees, administrative fees, tax
advisory fees and other similar compensation) are paid to the Company, unless, to the extent required by applicable law or exemptive relief, if any, therefrom, the Company only receives its allocable portion of such fees when invested in the same
portfolio company as another account managed by the Investment Adviser.

Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an
accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Interest and dividend income are presented net of withholding tax, if any.

Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind
(PIK) interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the principal amount or shares (if equity) of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being
paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon the investment being called by the issuer. PIK is recorded as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the
investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest or dividends
are generally reversed through interest or dividend income, respectively.

Certain structuring fees, amendment fees, syndication fees and
commitment fees are recorded as other income when earned. Administrative agent fees received by the Company are recorded as other income when the services are rendered over time.

Non-Accrual Investments

Investments are placed on non-accrual status when it is probable that principal, interest or dividends
will not be collected according to the contractual terms. Accrued interest or dividends generally are reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Interest or dividend payments received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status
when past due principal and interest or dividends are paid and, in managements judgment, principal and interest or dividend payments are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this treatment if an investment has
sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had certain investments held in three portfolio companies on non-accrual status, which represented
2.0% and 1.0% of the total investments (excluding an investment in a money market fund, if any, managed by an affiliate of Group Inc.) at amortized cost and at fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had certain
investments held in three portfolio companies on non-accrual status, which represented 8.3% and 7.0% of the total investments (excluding an investment in a money market fund, if any, managed by an affiliate of
Group Inc.) at amortized cost and at fair value, respectively.

Investments

The Company carries its investments in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820),
issued by the FASB, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is generally based on quoted market prices provided by independent pricing services,
broker or dealer quotations or alternative price sources. In the absence of quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative price sources, investments are measured at fair value as determined by the board of directors (the
Board of Directors) within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain
estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a ready market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material. See Note 5 Fair Value Measurement.

The Company generally invests in illiquid securities, including debt and equity investments, of middle-market companies. The Board of
Directors has delegated to the Investment Adviser day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of
the Companys portfolio investments. Under valuation procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, market quotations are generally used to assess the value of the investments for which market quotations are readily available. The Investment
Adviser obtains these market quotations from independent pricing services or at the bid prices obtained from at least two brokers or dealers, if available; otherwise from a principal market maker or a primary market dealer. To assess the continuing
appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, the Investment Adviser regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to independent pricing services or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in
accordance with the valuation procedures. If the Board of Directors or Investment Adviser has a bona fide reason to believe any such market quotation does not reflect the fair value of an investment, it may independently value such investment in
accordance with valuation procedures for investments for which market quotations are not readily available.

With respect to investments
for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which market quotations are deemed not reflective of the fair value, the valuation procedures adopted by the Board of Directors contemplate a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as
described below:



| | (1) | The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by
the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for the portfolio investment;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | The Board of Directors also engages independent valuation firms (the Independent Valuation
Advisors) to provide independent valuations of the investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of an investment. The Independent Valuation Advisors
independently value such investments using quantitative and qualitative information provided by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser and the portfolio companies as well as any market quotations obtained from independent pricing
services, brokers, dealers or market dealers. The Independent Valuation Advisors also provide analyses to support their valuation methodology and calculations. The Independent Valuation Advisors provide an opinion on a final range of values on such
investments to the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee. The Independent Valuation Advisors define fair value in accordance with ASC 820 and utilize valuation approaches including the market approach, the income approach or both. A portion of
the portfolio is reviewed on a quarterly basis, and all investments in the portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available, or are readily available, but deemed not reflective of the fair value of an investment, are reviewed at least
annually by an Independent Valuation Advisor;

Money Market Funds

Investments in money
market funds are valued at net asset value (NAV) per share. See Note 3 Significant Agreements and Related Party Transactions.

Cash

Cash consists of deposits held at a
custodian bank. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company held an aggregate cash balance of $9,409 and $6,113, respectively. Foreign currency of $1,003 and $257 (acquisition cost of $991 and $255) is included in cash as of
December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD on the following basis: (i) investments and other assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD based upon currency exchange rates effective on the last business day of the period; and (ii) purchases and sales of investments, borrowings and repayments of such borrowings, income,
and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.

The Company does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from
fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included within the net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments. Fluctuations arising from the translation of
non-investment assets and liabilities are included with the net change in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency translations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S.
companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less
liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

Derivatives

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the Companys exposure to foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. In a foreign currency forward contract, the Company agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a
future date. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market at the applicable forward rate. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward
contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. Notional amounts of foreign currency forward
contract assets and liabilities are presented separately on the Consolidated Schedules of Investments. Purchases and settlements of foreign currency forward contracts having the same settlement date and counterparty are generally settled net and any
realized gains or losses are recognized on the settlement date.

The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such, the Company
recognizes its derivatives at fair value with changes in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes tax
positions in its consolidated financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A position that meets this
standard is measured at the largest amount of benefit that will more likely than not be realized upon settlement. The Company reports any interest expense related to income tax matters in income tax expense, and any income tax penalties under
expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Companys tax positions have been reviewed based on applicable statutes
of limitation for tax assessments, which may vary by jurisdiction, and based on such review, the Company has concluded that no additional provision for income tax is required in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to
potential examination by certain taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. The Companys tax positions are subject to ongoing interpretation of laws and regulations by taxing authorities.

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2013. So long as the Company maintains
its status as a RIC, it will generally not be required to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. As a result, any U.S. federal
income tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company represents obligations of the Companys stockholders and will not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

To maintain its tax treatment as a RIC, the Company must meet specified
source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders for each taxable year at least 90% of its investment company taxable
income (generally, its net ordinary income plus the excess of its realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction). In order for the Company not to be
subject to U.S. federal excise taxes, it must distribute annually an amount at least equal to



100



---



the sum of (i) 98% of its net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year and (iii) any net ordinary income and capital gains in excess of capital losses for preceding years that were not distributed during such years.
The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on this income. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally would increase expenses and
reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Company accrued excise taxes of
$1,815, $1,589 and $1,552, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, $1,979 of accrued excise taxes remained payable.

Certain of the
Companys consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state corporate-level income taxes. Income tax expense, if any, is included under the income category for which it applies in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Distributions

Distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company may pay distributions in excess of its
taxable net investment income. This excess would be a tax-free return of capital in the period and reduce the stockholders tax basis in its shares. These book/tax differences are either temporary or
permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent they are charged or credited to paid-in capital in excess of par, accumulated undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized
gain (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax treatment of certain loans and the tax characterization of income and non-deductible expenses. These differences are generally determined in conjunction with the preparation of the Companys annual RIC tax return. Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a distribution is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by the Investment Adviser. The Company may pay
distributions to its stockholders in a year in excess of its net ordinary income and capital gains for that year and, accordingly, a portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company
intends to timely distribute to its stockholders substantially all of its annual taxable income for each year, except that the Company may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment and may carry forward taxable income for distribution in the
following year and pay any applicable tax. The specific tax characteristics of the Companys distributions will be reported to stockholders after the end of the calendar year. All distributions will be subject to available funds, and no
assurance can be given that the Company will be able to declare such distributions in future periods.

The Company has adopted a dividend
reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of all cash distributions declared by the Board of Directors unless a stockholder elects to opt out of the plan. As a result, if the Board of Directors declares a cash distribution, then
the stockholders who have not opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution. Stockholders who
receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will generally be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions and, for this purpose, stockholders receiving distributions in
the form of stock will generally be treated as receiving distributions equal to the fair market value of the stock received through the plan; however, since their cash distributions will be reinvested, those stockholders will not receive cash with
which to pay any applicable taxes. Due to regulatory considerations, Group Inc. has opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan, and GS & Co. has opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan in respect of shares of the Companys common
stock acquired through its 10b5-1 plan.

Deferred Financing and Debt Issuance Costs

Deferred financing and debt issuance costs consist of fees and expenses paid in connection with the closing of and amendments to the
Companys senior secured revolving credit agreement (as amended, the Revolving Credit Facility) with Truist Bank (formerly known as SunTrust Bank), as administrative agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and the
offering of the Companys 4.50% Convertible Notes due 2022 (the Convertible Notes). These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the respective term of the Revolving Credit Facility and Convertible Notes. Deferred
financing costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility are presented separately as an asset on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Deferred debt issuance costs related to the Convertible Notes are presented net
against the outstanding debt balance on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company records expenses related to registration statement filings and applicable offering costs as deferred offering costs. To the extent
such expenses relate to equity offerings, these expenses are charged as a reduction of paid-in-capital upon each such offering.



|3. | SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------

Investment Management Agreement

The
Company has entered into an investment management agreement (as amended and restated as of June 15, 2018, the Investment Management Agreement) with the Investment Adviser, pursuant to which the Investment Adviser manages the
Companys investment program and related activities.



101



---



Management Fee

The Company pays the Investment Adviser a management fee (the Management Fee), accrued and payable quarterly in arrears. The
Management Fee (i) was calculated at an annual rate of 1.50% (0.375% per quarter) (the Original Rate) through June 14, 2018 and (ii) an annual rate of 1.00% (0.25% per quarter) (the New Rate) thereafter, in
each case, of the average value of the Companys gross assets (excluding cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The Management Fee
for any partial quarter (including any quarter during which both the Original Rate and the New Rate were in effect) will be appropriately prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to the total number of days in such calendar
quarter.

For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, Management Fees amounted to $14,696, $15,971 and $17,828,
respectively. As of December 31, 2019, $3,653 remained payable.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee (the Incentive Fee) consists of two components that are determined independent of each other, with the result
that one component may be payable even if the other is not. Effective as of January 1, 2015, the Incentive Fee is calculated as follows:

A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on income and a portion is based on capital gains, each as described below. The Investment Adviser is
entitled to receive the Incentive Fee based on income if Ordinary Income (as defined below) exceeds a quarterly hurdle rate of 1.75%. For this purpose, the hurdle is computed by reference to the Companys NAV and does not take into
account changes in the market price of the Companys common stock.

The Incentive Fee based on income is determined and paid
quarterly in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter by reference to the Companys aggregate net investment income, as adjusted as described below, from the calendar quarter then ending and the eleven preceding calendar quarters (or if
shorter, the number of quarters that have occurred since January 1, 2015) (such period the Trailing Twelve Quarters). The Incentive Fee based on capital gains is determined and paid annually in arrears at the end of each calendar
year by reference to an Annual Period, which means the period beginning on January 1 of each calendar year and ending on December 31 of such calendar year or, in the case of the first and last year, the appropriate portion
thereof.

The hurdle amount for the Incentive Fee based on income is determined on a quarterly basis and is equal to 1.75% multiplied by
the Companys NAV at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The hurdle amount is calculated after making appropriate adjustments for subscriptions (which includes all of the
Companys issuances of shares of its common stock, including issuances pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan) and distributions that occurred during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The Incentive Fee for any partial period will be
appropriately prorated.

i. Quarterly Incentive Fee Based on Income

For the portion of the Incentive Fee based on income, the Company pays the Investment Adviser a quarterly Incentive Fee based
on the amount by which (A) aggregate net investment income (Ordinary Income) in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters exceeds (B) the hurdle amount for such Trailing Twelve Quarters. The amount of the excess of
(A) over (B) described in this paragraph for such Trailing Twelve Quarters is referred to as the Excess Income Amount. Ordinary Income is net of all fees and expenses, including the Management Fee but excluding any Incentive
Fee.

The Incentive Fee based on income for each quarter is determined as follows:



| |  |  | No Incentive Fee based on income is payable to the Investment Adviser for any calendar quarter for which there
is no Excess Income Amount;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 100% of the Ordinary Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle amount, but is less than or equal to an amount,
referred to as the Catch-up Amount, determined as the sum of 2.1875% multiplied by the Companys NAV at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing
Twelve Quarters is included in the calculation of the Incentive Fee based on income; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 20% of the Ordinary Income that exceeds the Catch-up Amount is
included in the calculation of the Incentive Fee based on income.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The amount of the Incentive Fee based
on income that is paid to the Investment Adviser for a particular quarter equals the excess of the Incentive Fee so calculated minus the aggregate Incentive Fees based on income that were paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or the
portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters but not in excess of the Incentive Fee Cap (as described below).

The Incentive Fee based on income that is paid to the Investment Adviser for a particular quarter is subject to a cap (the
Incentive Fee Cap). The Incentive Fee Cap for any quarter is an amount equal to (a) 20% of the Cumulative Net Return (as defined below) during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus (b) the aggregate Incentive Fees based on
income that were paid in respect of the first eleven calendar quarters (or the portion thereof) included in the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters.

Cumulative Net Return means (x) the Ordinary Income in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters minus
(y) any Net Capital Loss, if any, in respect of the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Company pays no Incentive Fee based on income to the Investment Adviser for such
quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is a positive value but is less than the Incentive Fee based on income that is payable to the Investment Adviser for such quarter (before giving



102



---



effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described above, the Company pays an Incentive Fee based on income to the Investment Adviser equal to the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter. If, in
any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter is equal to or greater than the Incentive Fee based on income that is payable to the Investment Adviser for such quarter (before giving effect to the Incentive Fee Cap) calculated as described
above, the Company pays an Incentive Fee based on income to the Investment Adviser equal to the Incentive Fee calculated as described above for such quarter without regard to the Incentive Fee Cap.

Net Capital Loss in respect of a particular period means the difference, if positive, between (i) aggregate
capital losses, whether realized or unrealized, in such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains, whether realized or unrealized, in such period.

ii. Annual Incentive Fee Based on Capital Gains

The portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains is calculated on an annual basis. For each Annual Period, the Company
pays the Investment Adviser an amount equal to (A) 20% of the difference, if positive, of the sum of the Companys aggregate realized capital gains, if any, computed net of the Companys aggregate realized capital losses, if any, and the
Companys aggregate unrealized capital depreciation, in each case from April 1, 2013 until the end of such Annual Period minus (B) the cumulative amount of Incentive Fees based on capital gains previously paid to the Investment
Adviser from April 1, 2013. For the avoidance of doubt, unrealized capital appreciation is excluded from the calculation in clause (A) above.

The Company accrues, but does not pay, a portion of the Incentive Fee based on capital gains with respect to net unrealized
appreciation. Under GAAP, the Company is required to accrue an Incentive Fee based on capital gains that includes net realized capital gains and losses and net unrealized capital appreciation and depreciation on investments held at the end of each
period. In calculating the accrual for the Incentive Fee based on capital gains, the Company considers the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, since an Incentive Fee based on capital gains would be payable if
such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee payable under the Investment Management Agreement. This accrual is calculated using the
aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then the Company records a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20%
of such amount, minus the aggregate amount of actual Incentive Fees based on capital gains paid in all prior periods. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital
appreciation will be realized in the future.

For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Company incurred Incentive
Fees based on income of $9,220, $13,988 and $12,775, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, $1,850 remained payable. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Company did not accrue or pay any Incentive Fees based on capital
gains.

In connection with the Merger, GSAM has agreed to waive a portion of its Incentive Fee based on income for the next five quarters,
commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2019 and through and including the quarter ending December 31, 2020, otherwise payable by the Company under the Investment Management Agreement and the proposed New Investment Management
Agreement by and between the Company and GSAM, as applicable, for each such quarter in an amount sufficient to ensure that the Companys net investment income per weighted share outstanding for such quarter is at least $0.48 per share. For the
year ended December 31, 2019, GSAM agreed to waive $394 of the Incentive Fees.

Administration and Custodian Fees

The Company has entered into an administration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Administrator) under which
the Administrator provides various accounting and administrative services to the Company. The Company pays the Administrator fees for its services as it determines to be commercially reasonable in its sole discretion. The Company also reimburses the
Administrator for all reasonable expenses. To the extent that the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Administrator pays any compensation associated with such functions. The Administrator also serves as the Companys custodian
(the Custodian).

For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred expenses for services
provided by the Administrator and the Custodian of $957, $920 and $803, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, $160 remained payable.

Transfer
Agent Fees

The Company has entered into a transfer agency and services agreement pursuant to which Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
serves as the Companys transfer agent (the Transfer Agent), dividend agent and registrar. From the IPO to May 1, 2016, State Street Bank and Trust Company served as the Transfer Agent and dividend agent. Prior to the IPO,
GS & Co. was the Transfer Agent. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred expenses for services provided by the Transfer Agent of $14, $16 and $21, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, $3
remained payable.

Common Stock Repurchase Plans

In February 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $25,000 of the Companys common stock if the stock
trades below the most recently announced NAV per share (including any updates, corrections or adjustments publicly announced by the Company to any previously announced NAV per share), from March 18, 2016 to March 18, 2017, subject to
certain limitations. In February 2017, the Companys Board of Directors renewed its authorization of the stock repurchase plan to extend the expiration to March 18, 2018, in February 2018, again renewed its authorization of the stock
repurchase plan to extend the expiration to March 18, 2019 and, in February 2019, again renewed its authorization of the stock repurchase plan to extend the expiration to March 18, 2020.



103



---



In connection with this authorization, the Company entered into a 10b5-1 plan (the Initial Company 10b5-1 Plan). The Initial Company 10b5-1 Plan initially took effect on March 18, 2016
(with any purchases to commence after the opening of NYSE trading on March 21, 2016), was subsequently renewed and expired on March 18, 2018. The Company entered into an agreement to renew the Initial Company
10b5-1 Plan on May 14, 2018, which was terminated on June 27, 2018 in connection with the Companys offering of Convertible Notes. See Notes 6 Debt. On June 27, 2018, the
Company entered into an agreement to renew the Company 10b5-1 Plan with any purchases pursuant to the agreement to commence on September 25, 2018. The Initial Company
10b5-1 Plan expired on March 18, 2019.

In February 2019, our Board of Directors approved the
Company 10b5-1 Plan, which provides for us to repurchase up to $25,000 of shares of our common stock if the stock trades below the most recently announced net asset value per share, subject to
limitations. Under the Company 10b5-1 Plan, no purchases will be made if such purchases would (i) cause the aggregate ownership of our outstanding stock by Group Inc. and GS & Co. to equal or
exceed 25.0% (due to the reduction in outstanding shares of stock as a result of purchase) or (ii) cause our Debt/Equity Ratio to exceed the lower of (a) 1.40 or (b) the Maximum Debt/Equity Ratio. In the Company 10b5-1 Plan, Debt/Equity Ratio means the sum of debt on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the total notional value of the Purchasers unfunded commitments divided by 85% of
total equity, as of the most recent reported financial statement end date, and Maximum Debt/Equity Ratio means the sum of debt on the balance sheet and committed uncalled debt divided by net assets, as of the most recent reported
financial statement end date. The Company 10b5-1 Plan took effect on March 18, 2019, expires on March 18, 2020 and purchases thereunder will be conducted on a programmatic basis in accordance with
Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act and other applicable securities laws. The Company 10b5-1 Plan was
temporarily suspended on December 9, 2019 and remains suspended as of December 31, 2019.

The Companys repurchase of its
common stock under the New Company 10b5-1 Plan or otherwise may result in the price of the Companys common stock being higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. For the years
ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not repurchase any of its common stock pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan, the New Company 10b5-1 Plan or
otherwise.

Affiliates

As of
December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Group Inc. owned 16.06% and 16.12%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock. The table below presents the Companys affiliated investments:

Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiaries

In accordance with Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X (Rule 3-09 and Rule 4-08(g), respectively), the Company must determine which of its unconsolidated
controlled affiliated investments are considered significant subsidiaries, if any. In evaluating these investments, there are three tests utilized to determine if any of the controlled affiliated investments are considered significant subsidiaries:
the investment test, the asset test, and the income test. Rule 3-09 requires separate audited financial statements of an unconsolidated majority-owned subsidiary in an annual report if any of the three tests
exceeds 20%. Rule 4-08(g) requires summarized financial information in an annual report if any of the three tests exceeds 10% and summarized financial information in a quarterly report if any of the three
tests exceeds 20%.

As of December 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Companys investment in Animal
Supply Holdings LLC and Bolttech Mannings, Inc. exceeded the 10% threshold in at least one of the tests under Rule 4-08(g). Included below are the summarized financial information for the aforementioned
investments.

Due to Affiliates

The Investment Adviser pays certain general and administrative expenses, including legal expenses, on behalf of the Company in the ordinary
course of business. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were $234 and $282, respectively, included within Accrued expenses and other liabilities paid by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the Company.

Co-investment Activity

In certain circumstances, negotiated co-investments by the Company and other funds managed by the
Investment Adviser may be made only pursuant to an order from the SEC permitting the Company to do so. On January 4, 2017, the SEC granted exemptive relief (Exemptive Relief) that permits the Company to co invest with Goldman Sachs
Private Middle Market Credit LLC (GS PMMC), GS MMLC, Goldman Sachs Private Middle Market Credit II LLC (GS PMMC II) and certain other funds that may be managed by GSAM, including the GSAM Credit Alternatives Team, after the
date of the exemptive order, subject to certain conditions including that co-investments are made in a manner consistent with the Companys investment objectives, positions, policies, strategies and
restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements and pursuant to the conditions required by the Exemptive Relief, and are allocated fairly among participants. The GSAM Credit Alternatives Team is comprised of investment professionals dedicated to
the Companys investment strategy and other funds that share a similar investment strategy with the Company, who are responsible for identifying investment opportunities, conducting research and due diligence on prospective investments,
negotiating and structuring the Companys investments and monitoring and servicing the Companys investments, together with investment professionals who are primarily focused on investment strategies in syndicated, liquid credit. Under the
terms of the Exemptive Relief, a required majority (as defined in Section 57(o) of the Investment Company Act) of the Companys independent 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 the Company and the Companys stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of the
Company or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of the Companys stockholders and is consistent with the then-current investment objectives and strategies of the
Company. As a result of the Exemptive Relief, there could be significant overlap in the Companys investment portfolio and the investment portfolios of GS PMMC, GS MMLC, GS PMMC II and/or other funds established by the GSAM Credit Alternatives
Team that could avail themselves of the Exemptive Relief.

Senior Credit Fund, LLC

The Senior Credit Fund, an unconsolidated Delaware limited liability company, was formed on May 7, 2014 and commenced operations on
October 1, 2014. The Company invested together with Cal Regents through the Senior Credit Fund. The Senior Credit Funds principal purpose was to make investments, either directly or indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary, Senior
Credit Fund SPV I, LLC (SPV I), primarily in senior secured loans to middle-market companies. Each of the Company and Cal Regents were responsible for sourcing the Senior Credit Funds investments. Each of the Company and Cal
Regents had a 50% economic ownership in the Senior Credit Fund and each had subscribed to and has fully contributed $100,000. On December 19, 2016, SPV I entered into an amended and restated credit facility (as amended, the Asset Based
Facility), which consisted of a revolving credit facility (the SPV I Revolving Credit Facility), a term loan facility (the SPV I Term Loan Facility) and a Class B loan facility (the SPV I Class B
Facility), with various lenders. For the Asset Based Facility, Natixis, New York Branch (Natixis) served as the facility agent, and State Street Bank and Trust Company served as the collateral agent. On February 27, 2019, the
board of managers of the Senior Credit Fund authorized the liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Senior Credit Fund and the pro-rata distribution of its assets and liabilities to the members of the
Senior Credit Fund. On May 8, 2019, the Company and Cal Regents each contributed $125,555 to the Senior Credit Fund, which was used by the Senior Credit Fund to repay in full all outstanding indebtedness, including all accrued and unpaid
interest and fees, under the Asset Based Facility and to fund certain other related expenses that the Senior Credit Fund expects to incur in connection with its dissolution. The Asset Based Facility was then terminated and all liens securing the
collateral under the Asset Based Facility were released and terminated.

Following the repayment and termination of the aforementioned
Asset Based Facility, the Senior Credit Fund distributed to its members their pro rata share of the assets of the Senior Credit Fund. The pro rata portion of the assets received by the Company included senior secured loans of $215,103 and $210,088
at amortized cost and at fair value, respectively and cash of $9,822. In addition, the Company assumed the obligation to fund outstanding unfunded commitments of the Senior Credit Fund that totaled $5,664, representing its pro rata portion of all
unfunded commitments of the Senior Credit Fund at such time. The pro rata portion of the assets received by the Company have been included in the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. After the satisfaction of all
remaining liabilities and the distribution of remaining assets, the Senior Credit Fund was terminated.

|(+) |  | The terms in the Schedule above disclose the actual interest rate for partially or fully funded debt in effect
as of the reporting date. Variable rate loans bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either LIBOR (L) or alternate base rate (commonly based on the Prime Rate (P)), at the borrowers option, which
reset periodically based on the terms of the credit agreement. L loans are typically indexed to 12 month, 6 month, 3 month, 2 month, 1 month or 1 week L rates. As of December 31, 2018, rates for the 12 month, 6 month, 3 month, 2 month, 1 month
and 1 week L are 3.01%, 2.88%, 2.81%, 2.61%, 2.50% and 2.41%, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, P was 5.50%. For investments with multiple reference rates or alternate base rates, the interest rate shown is the weighted average interest
rate in effect at December 31, 2018.

|(1) |  | Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded
portion. The unfunded loan commitment may be subject to a commitment termination date that may expire prior to the maturity date stated.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) |  | The negative cost is the result of the capitalized discount being greater than the principal amount outstanding
on the loan. The negative fair value is the result of the capitalized discount on the loan.
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) |  | The Company also holds a portion of senior secured debt in this portfolio company.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) |  | The investment is on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2018.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

|(5) |  | In exchange for the greater risk of loss, the last-out
portion of the Companys unitranche loan investment generally earns a higher interest rate than the first-out portions. The first-out
portion of the loan would generally receive priority with respect to payment of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder over the last-out portion that the Company would continue to
hold.
|--- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(6) |  | The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of
December 31, 2018.

|5. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
|-- | ----------------------

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).

The fair value hierarchy under ASC 820
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Basis of Fair Value Measurement

Level 1  Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical instruments as of the
reporting date. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 include unrestricted securities, including equities and derivatives, listed in active markets.

Level 2  Inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or
indirectly observable as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments in this category include less liquid and restricted securities listed in active markets, securities traded in other than active markets, government and agency
securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs.

Level 3  Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement. The inputs into
the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category include investments in privately held entities and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

A financial
instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies should be read in conjunction with the
information outlined below.

|Equity and Fixed Income |  | The types of instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be
active but are valued based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include commercial paper, most government agency obligations, most corporate debt
securities, certain mortgage-backed securities, certain bank loans, less liquid publicly listed equities, certain state and municipal obligations, certain money market instruments and certain loan commitments.
 Valuations of Level 2 Equity and Fixed Income
instruments can be verified to quoted prices, broker or dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Consideration is given to the nature of the quotations (e.g. indicative or firm) and the
relationship of recent market activity to the prices provided from alternative pricing sources.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|Derivative Contracts    |  | OTC derivatives (both centrally cleared and bilateral) are valued using market
transactions and other market evidence whenever possible, including market-based inputs to models, calibration to market-clearing transactions, broker or dealer quotations, or other alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price
transparency. Where models are used, the selection of a particular model to value an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the
market. The Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, voluntary and involuntary
prepayment rates, loss severity rates and correlations of such inputs. For OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, model inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment. OTC derivatives are
classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are corroborated by market evidence.

The table below presents the valuation techniques and the nature of significant inputs generally used in
determining the fair value of Level 3 Instruments.

|Bank Loans, Corporate Debt, and Other Debt
Obligations |  | Valuations are generally based on discounted cash flow techniques, for which the
significant inputs are the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, market yields and recovery assumptions. The significant inputs are generally determined based on relative value analyses, which incorporate comparisons both to credit
default swaps that reference the same underlying credit risk and to other debt instruments for the same issuer for which observable prices or broker quotes are available. Other valuation methodologies are used as appropriate including market
comparables, transactions in similar instruments and recovery/liquidation analysis.

best evidence for any change in fair value. When these are not available, the following valuation methodologies are used, as appropriate and available:
  Transactions in similar instruments;
  Discounted cash flow techniques;
  Third party appraisals; and
  Industry multiples and public comparables.
Evidence includes recent or pending reorganizations (for example, merger proposals, tender offers and debt restructurings) and significant
changes in financial metrics, including:   Current financial performance as
compared to projected performance;   Capitalization rates and multiples; and
  Market yields implied by transactions of similar or related assets.

The tables below present the ranges of significant unobservable inputs used to value the
Companys Level 3 assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These ranges represent the significant unobservable inputs that were used in the valuation of each type of instrument, but they do not
represent a range of values for any one instrument. For example, the lowest yield in 1st Lien/Senior Secured Debt is appropriate for valuing that specific debt investment, but may not be appropriate for valuing any other debt investments in this
asset class. Accordingly, the ranges of inputs presented below do not represent uncertainty in, or possible ranges of, fair value measurements of the Companys Level 3 assets and liabilities.

|(1) |  | Included within Level 3 Assets of $1,340,553 is an amount of $183,021 for which the Investment Adviser did
not develop the unobservable inputs (examples include single source broker quotations, third party pricing, and prior transactions). The income approach was used in the determination of fair value for $1,041,020 or 83.7% of Level 3 bank loans,
corporate debt, and other debt obligations.

|(2) |  | The fair value of any one instrument may be determined using multiple valuation techniques. For example, market
comparable and discounted cash flows may be used together to determine fair value. Therefore, the Level 3 balance encompasses both of these techniques.

|(3) |  | The range for an asset category consisting of a single investment represents the relevant market data
considered in determining the fair value of the investment.
|--- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) |  | Weighted average for an asset category consisting of multiple investments is calculated by weighting the
significant unobservable input by the relative fair value of the investment. Weighted average for an asset category consisting of a single investment represents the significant unobservable input used in the fair value of the investment.

December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach are the discount rate or market yield used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying
investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. An increase in the discount rate or market yield would result in a decrease in the fair value. Included in the consideration and selection of discount rates or market yields is
risk of default, rating of the investment, call provisions and comparable company investments. The significant unobservable inputs used in the market approach are based on market comparable transactions and market multiples of publicly traded
comparable companies. Increases or decreases in market comparable transactions or market multiples would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are reported at the beginning of the reporting period in which
they occur. For the year ended December 31, 2019, transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were primarily due to increased price transparency. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 were
primarily due to decreased price transparency.

The below table presents a summary of changes in fair value of Level 3 assets by
investment type.

On June 15, 2018, the Companys stockholders approved the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements in
Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act to the Company. As a result of this approval, the Company is now permitted to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage ratio, as defined in the Investment Company Act, is at least 150% after
such borrowing (if certain requirements are met), rather than 200%, as previously required. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Companys asset coverage ratio based on the aggregate amount outstanding of senior
securities was 187% and 206%, respectively.

As of the dates indicated, the Companys outstanding debt was as follows:

Revolving Credit Facility

On
September 19, 2013, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Facility with various lenders. Truist Bank (formerly known as SunTrust Bank) serves as administrative agent and Bank of America, N.A. serves as syndication agent under the
Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has amended and restated the Revolving Credit Facility on October 3, 2014, November 3, 2015, December 16, 2016, February 21, 2018 and September 17, 2018.

The aggregate committed borrowing amount under the Revolving Credit Facility is $795,000. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an
uncommitted accordion feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the borrowing capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility up to $1,000,000.

Borrowings denominated in USD, including amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit, bear interest (at the Companys election) of
either (i) LIBOR plus a margin of either 1.75% or 2.00%, subject to borrowing base conditions or (ii) an alternative base rate, which is the higher of the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or overnight LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus either
0.75% or 1.00%, subject to borrowing base conditions. Borrowings denominated in EUR bear interest (at the companys election) of EUR LIBOR plus a margin of either 1.75% or 2.00%, subject to borrowing base conditions. The Company may elect
either the LIBOR, EUR LIBOR, or an alternative base rate at the time of borrowing, and borrowings may be converted from one rate to another at any time, subject to certain conditions. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. The Company pays a fee
of 0.375% per annum on committed but undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and
payable, on February 21, 2023.

The Revolving Credit Facility may be guaranteed by certain of the Companys domestic
subsidiaries, including any that are formed or acquired by the Company in the future (collectively, the Guarantors). Proceeds from borrowings may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of portfolio investments.

The Companys obligations to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in
substantially all of the Companys portfolio of investments and cash, with certain exceptions. The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants, including: (i) maintaining a minimum stockholders equity of $500,000 plus 25% of
net proceeds of the sale of equity interests after February 21, 2018, (ii) maintaining a minimum asset coverage ratio of at least 150%, (iii) maintaining a minimum asset coverage ratio of 200% with respect to the consolidated assets (with
certain limitations on the contribution of equity in financing subsidiaries as specified therein) of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors to the secured debt of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors, (iv) maintaining a minimum Company
net worth of at least $350,000, (v) maintaining a minimum liquidity test of at least 10% of the covered debt amount during any period when the adjusted covered debt balance is greater than 90% of the adjusted borrowing base, as defined in the
Revolving Credit Facility, and (vi) complying with restrictions on industry concentrations in the Companys investment portfolio. The Company is in compliance with these covenants.

Convertible Notes

On October 3, 2016, the Company closed an offering of $115,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured Convertible Notes, which includes
$15,000 aggregate principal amount issued pursuant to the initial purchasers exercise in full of an over-allotment option (the Initial Convertible Notes). The sale of the Initial Convertible Notes generated net proceeds of
approximately $110,900. The Company used the net proceeds of the offering to pay down debt under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On
July 2, 2018, the Company closed an additional offering of $40,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes (the Additional Convertible Notes and together with Initial Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes).
The Additional Convertible Notes have identical terms, are fungible with and are part of the Initial Convertible Notes. The sale of the Additional Convertible Notes generated net proceeds of approximately $38,569. The Company used the net proceeds
of the offering to pay down debt under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture between
the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and/or its affiliates provide bank lending and distribution services to certain Goldman Sachs funds. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a
rate of 4.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2017. The Convertible Notes will mature on April 1, 2022, unless repurchased or converted in accordance with
their terms prior to such date. In certain circumstances, the Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Companys common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Companys common stock, based on an initial
conversion rate of 40.8397 shares of the Companys common stock per one thousand dollars principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $24.49 per share of common stock, subject to
customary anti-dilution adjustments and the other terms of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes. The conversion price is approximately 10.0% above the $22.26 per share closing price of the Companys common stock on September 27,
2016 and 16.7% above the $20.99 per share closing price of our common stock on June 26, 2018. The Company will not have the right to redeem the Convertible Notes prior to maturity.

Holders may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding
October 1, 2021 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter, if the last reported sale price of the Companys common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30
consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any
five consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price per one thousand dollars principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last
reported sale price of the Companys common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after October 1, 2021, until the close of business on the scheduled
trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any of the foregoing circumstances.

The Convertible Notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion
and Other Options. Upon conversion of any of the Convertible Notes, the Company intends to pay the outstanding principal amount in cash and, to the extent that the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, has the option to pay the excess
amount in cash or shares of the Companys common stock (or a combination of cash and shares), subject to the requirements of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes. The Company has determined that the embedded conversion options in the
Convertible Notes are not required to be separately accounted for as derivatives under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. At the time of issuance the values of the debt and equity components of the Initial Convertible Notes and
Additional Convertible Notes were approximately 99.4% and 0.6%, and 97.9% and 2.1%, respectively.

The OID equal to the equity component
of the Convertible Notes was recorded in paid-in capital in excess of par in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Company records interest expense comprised of
both stated interest and amortization of the OID. At the time of issuance, the equity components of the Initial Convertible Notes and the Additional Convertible Notes were $743 and $836, respectively. Additionally, the issuance costs associated with
the Convertible Notes were allocated to the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the values at the time of issuance and accounted for as debt issuance costs and equity issuance costs, respectively.

|7. | DERIVATIVES
|-- | -----------

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign
exchange rates would have on the value of the Companys investments denominated in foreign currencies.

In order to better define its
contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Company mitigate its counterparty risk, the Company may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or a similar
agreement with its derivative counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Company and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives, including foreign currency forward contracts, and typically contains, among other
things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default
(close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Company and cash collateral received from
the counterparty, if any, is included in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as due to/due from broker. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that they believe to be of
good standing and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the
Companys average USD notional exposure to foreign currency forward contracts was $2,930. For the period from August 8, 2018 to December 31, 2018, the Companys average USD notional exposure to foreign currency forward contracts
was $3,215.

As of the dates indicated, the table below sets forth the Companys net exposure to foreign currency forward contracts
by counterparty that are subject to ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide a variety of general indemnifications. Any exposure to the
Company under these arrangements could involve future claims that may be made against the Company. Currently, no such claims exist or are expected to arise and, accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such
indemnifications.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Concurrent with the IPO, the Company adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of all cash distributions declared by
the Board of Directors, unless a stockholder elects to opt out of the plan. As a result, if the Board of Directors declares a cash distribution, then the stockholders who have not opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan
will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution.

The following table summarizes shares distributed pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan to stockholders who had not opted out of the
dividend reinvestment plan:

|10. | EARNINGS PER SHARE
|--- | ------------------

The following information sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:



|                                                     |  |                                  |            |  |      |   |            |      |  |   |            |

|Net increase in net assets resulting from operations |  | $                                | 36,148     |  |      | $ | 53,678     |      |  | $ | 49,548     | 
|Weighted average shares outstanding                  |  |                                  | 40,313,662 |  |      |   | 40,184,715 |      |  |   | 38,633,652 | 
|Basic and diluted earnings per share                 |  | $                                | 0.90       |  |      | $ | 1.34       |      |  | $ | 1.28       | 

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per common share, the average closing price of the
Companys common stock for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was less than the conversion price for the Convertible Notes outstanding as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Therefore, for the years ended
December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, diluted earnings per share equal basic earnings per share because the underlying shares for the intrinsic value of the embedded options in the Convertible Notes were not dilutive.

The difference between GAAP-basis and tax basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to net
mark to market gains (losses) on foreign currency contracts, and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments.

In
order to present certain components of the Companys capital accounts on a tax-basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Companys accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on
the net asset value of the Company and result primarily from certain non-deductible expenses, and differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments. For the year ended December 31, 2019,
December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company reclassified $(26,743), $(443) and $(1,556), respectively, from total distributable earnings to paid-in capital in excess of par.

The following reconciles net increase in net assets resulting from operations to taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2019,
2018 and 2017:

ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (ASC
740) provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax position. 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 of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not
threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Based on its analysis of its tax position for all open tax years (the current and prior years, as applicable), the Company has concluded that it does not have any uncertain tax
positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.

|14. | PENDING MERGER WITH GS MMLC
|--- | ---------------------------

On December 9, 2019, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with GS MMLC, Merger Sub, and the Investment Adviser. The Merger
Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into GS MMLC, with GS MMLC continuing as the surviving company and, immediately thereafter, GS MMLC will merge with and into the
Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company. The parties to the Merger Agreement intend the Merger to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Pursuant to the Merger, each share of GS MMLC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will
be converted into 0.9939 shares of the Companys common stock (the Exchange Ratio) in connection with the closing of the Merger (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement). The Exchange Ratio will only
be adjusted if, between the date of the Merger Agreement and the effective time, (i) either GS MMLC or the Company declares or pays an extraordinary dividend, or (ii) the respective outstanding shares of the Companys common stock or
GS MMLC common stock will have been increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities, as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or if a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities will be declared with a record date within such period, other than shares issued pursuant to the
Companys distribution reinvestment plan, as permitted by the Merger Agreement. No fractional shares of the Companys common stock will be issued, and holders of GS MMLC common stock will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Consummation of the Merger, which is currently anticipated to occur during the first half of calendar year 2020, is subject to certain closing
conditions, including (a) the Companys stockholder approval of each of the Merger, the Amended and Restated GSBD charter, the Merger Stock Issuance and the New Investment Management Agreement (b) GS MMLC stockholder approval of each
of the Merger and the New Investment Management Agreement and certain other closing conditions.

The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights in favor of the Company and GS
MMLC, including if the Merger is not completed on or before December 9, 2020 or if the requisite approvals of the Companys stockholders or GS MMLCs stockholders are not obtained. The Merger Agreement also provides that, upon the
termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to pay GS MMLC, or GS MMLC may be required to pay the Company, a termination fee of $20.5 million and $27.8 million, respectively.

The Merger is expected to be accounted for as an asset acquisition of GS MMLC by the Company in accordance with the asset acquisition method
of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business CombinationsRelated Issues, with the fair value of total consideration paid in conjunction with the Mergers allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of the Mergers. Generally, under asset acquisition accounting, acquiring assets in groups not only requires ascertaining the cost of the asset (or net assets), but also
allocating that cost to the individual assets (or individual assets and liabilities) that make up the group. The cost of the group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based
on their relative fair values of net identifiable assets acquired other than certain non-qualifying assets (for example cash) and does not give rise to goodwill. The final allocation of the
purchase price will be determined after the Merger is completed and after completion of a final analysis to determine the estimated relative fair values of GS MMLCs assets and liabilities.



|15. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
|--- | -----------------

Subsequent events after the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated through the date the consolidated
financial statements were issued. Other than the items discussed below, the Company has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

On February 10, 2020, the Company closed an offering of $360,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.75% notes due 2025 (the Notes).
The Notes will mature on February 10, 2025 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Companys option at any time at par plus a make-whole premium, if applicable. The Company used the net proceeds of the offering to pay down
debt under our Revolving Credit Facility.

On February 19, 2020 the Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.45 per
share payable on April 15, 2020 to holders of record as of March 31, 2020.

ITEM 9.     CHANGES IN AND
DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2019. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the
participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2019.

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

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 has been audited to by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

discretion of the Board of Directors. The responsibilities of the Board of Directors include quarterly valuation of our assets, corporate governance activities, oversight of our financing arrangements and oversight of our investment activities.

The Board of Directors role in our management is one of oversight. Oversight of our investment activities extends to oversight of the
risk management processes employed by our Investment Adviser as part of its day-to-day management of our investment activities. The Board of Directors reviews risk
management processes at both regular and special Board meetings throughout the year, consulting with appropriate representatives of our Investment Adviser as necessary and periodically requesting the production of risk management reports or
presentations. The goal of the Board of Directors risk oversight function is to ensure that the risks associated with our investment activities are accurately identified, thoroughly investigated and responsibly addressed. The Boards
oversight function cannot, however, eliminate all risks or ensure that particular events do not adversely affect the value of the Investments. The Board of Directors also has primary responsibility for the valuation of our assets.

The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee, Compliance Committee and Contract Review
Committee. The scope of each committees responsibilities is discussed in greater detail below.

Jaime Ardila, an Independent
Director, serves as Chair (Chair) of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of Shareholders for Mr. Ardila to lead the Board of Directors because of his broad corporate background
and experience with financial and investment matters, as described below. The Chair will generally act as a liaison between our management, officers and attorneys between meetings of the Board of Directors and preside over all executive sessions of
the Independent Directors without management. The Board of Directors believes that its leadership structure is appropriate because the structure allocates areas of responsibility among the individual directors and the committees in a manner that
enhances effective oversight. The Board of Directors also believes that its size creates an efficient corporate governance structure that provides opportunity for direct communication and interaction between management and the Board of Directors.

Board of Directors and Executive Officers

The current directors were appointed to their positions in April 2016, except for Susan McGee, who was appointed to the Board of Directors in
June 2018, and each director will hold office until his or her death, resignation, removal or disqualification. In addition, our Board of Directors has adopted polices which provide that (a) no director shall hold office for more than 15 years
and (b) a director shall retire as of December 31st of the calendar year in which he or she reaches his or her 74th birthday, unless a waiver of such requirement has been adopted by a majority of the other directors. These policies may be
changed by the directors without a Shareholder vote.

Investment Management and Advisory Agreement

GSAM serves as our investment adviser. Our Investment Adviser has been registered as an investment adviser with the SEC since 1990 and is a
subsidiary of Group Inc., a bank holding company. GS & Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Group Inc., acted as our placement agent in connection with the offering of Shares to U.S. persons and Goldman Sachs International, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Group Inc., acted as our placement agent in connection with the offering of Shares to non-U.S. persons.

Subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors, the Investment Adviser provides day-to-day advice regarding the Companys portfolio transactions and is responsible for the Companys business affairs and other administrative matters.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we paid GSAM a total of $21.46 million in fees pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement.

License Agreement

The
Company has entered into the License Agreement with GS & Co. pursuant to which it has been granted a personal, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right and license to use the Goldman
Sachs name. Under the License Agreement, the Company does not have the right to use the Goldman Sachs name if GSAM or another affiliate of Goldman Sachs is not the Companys investment adviser or if the Companys continued use of
such license results in a violation of applicable law, results in a regulatory burden or has adverse regulatory consequences. Other than with respect to this limited license, the Company has no legal right to the Goldman Sachs name.

Co-Investment Opportunities

The Company may co-invest, on a concurrent basis with other funds managed by GSAM and its affiliates,
but not if such co-investment is impermissible under existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations or GSAMs allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated
co-investments by us and other funds managed by GSAM and its affiliates may be made only pursuant to an order from the SEC permitting us to do so. In January 2017, we received an exemptive order from the SEC
that permits us to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with certain affiliates (including GS PMMC, GS MMLC and GS PMMC II), each of whose investment adviser is GSAM, in a manner consistent
with our investment objectives, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements and pursuant to the conditions required by the exemptive relief.

Related Party Transaction Review Policy

The Audit Committee will conduct quarterly reviews of any potential related party transactions brought to its attention and, during these
reviews, it will consider any conflicts of interest brought to its attention pursuant to the Companys Code of Ethics. Each of the Companys directors and executive officers is instructed and periodically reminded to inform GSAM Compliance
of any potential related party transactions. In addition, each such director and executive officer completes a questionnaire on an annual basis designed to elicit information about any potential related party transactions.

Fees

services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.

Audit-Related Fees

The aggregate audit-related fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $33,500 and $0,
respectively.

Audit-related fees are for any services rendered to the Company that are reasonably related to the performance of the
audits or reviews of the Companys consolidated financial statements (but not reported as audit fees above). These services include attestation services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial
accounting and reporting standards.

The aggregate audit-related fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to GSAM, and any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, GSAM, that provides ongoing services to the Company, for engagements directly related to the Companys operations and financial reporting, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and
2018 were $1,200,400 and $1,133,433, respectively. These amounts represent fees PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed to GSAM for services related to the SSAE 18 report.

Tax Fees

The aggregate fees billed by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for services rendered to the Company for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $0 and $58,750, respectively.

Fees included in the tax fees category comprise all services performed by professional staff in the independent registered public
accountants tax division except those services related to the audits. This category comprises fees for tax compliance services provided in connection with the preparation and review of the Companys tax returns.

No tax fees were billed by the Companys independent registered public accountant to GSAM, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or

All Other Fees

No fees were billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for products and services provided to the Company, other than the services reported in
Audit Fees and Tax Fees above, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Other than services reported
under Audit-Related Fees, no other fees were billed by the Companys independent registered public accountant to GSAM, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, GSAM, that provides ongoing services to
the Company, for engagements directly related to the Companys operations and financial reporting, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Aggregate Non-Audit Fees

No non-audit fees were billed to the Companys investment adviser and service affiliates by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for non-audit services for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. This includes any non-audit services required to be pre-approved or non-audit services that did not require pre-approval since they did not directly relate to the Companys
operations or financial reporting.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit
Services Provided to the Company

The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the Policy) adopted by the Audit Committee sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services performed by an independent auditor for the Company may be pre-approved. Services may be pre-approved specifically by the Audit Committee as a whole or, in certain circumstances, by the Audit Committee Chairman or the person
designated as the audit committee financial expert. In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may be pre-approved under the provisions of the Policy. The Policy provides that the
Audit Committee will consider whether the services provided by an independent auditor are consistent with the SECs rules on auditor independence. The Policy provides for periodic review and pre-approval
by the Audit Committee of the services that may be provided by the independent auditor.

De Minimis Waiver. The pre-approval requirements of the Policy may be waived with respect to the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided
(1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues subject to pre-approval that was paid to the independent auditors during the
fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the Company at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought
to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee,
pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of the Policy.

Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to GSAM.
The Policy provides that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to the Company, the Audit Committee will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to the Companys investment adviser (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment
adviser that provide ongoing services to the Company) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Company.

The Audit Committee has considered these fees and the nature of the services rendered, and has concluded that they are compatible with
maintaining the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The Audit Committee did not approve any of the audit-related, tax, or other non-audit fees described above pursuant to the de minimis
exceptions set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP did not
provide any audit-related services, tax services or other non-audit services to GSAM or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with GSAM that provides ongoing services to the Company
that the Audit Committee was required to approve pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services rendered to GSAM and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with GSAM that provides ongoing services to the Company that were not
pre-approved by the Audit Committee because the engagement did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Company is compatible with maintaining PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPs
independence.
