Item 1. Business
New Mountain Finance Corporation
PART I
New Mountain Finance Corporation ("NMFC", the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") is a Delaware corporation that was originally
incorporated on June 29, 2010. We are a closed-end, non-diversified 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 "1940 Act"). As such, we are obligated to
comply with certain regulatory requirements. We have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify
annually, as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code"). NMFC
is also registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act").
On May 19, 2011, we priced our initial public offering (the "IPO") of 7,272,727 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.75
per share. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO and at the public offering price of $13.75 per share, we sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of our
common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital (defined as New Mountain
Capital Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates) in a concurrent private placement (the "Concurrent Private Placement"). Additionally, 1,252,964 shares were
issued to the partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P. at that time for their ownership interest in the Predecessor Entities (as defined
below). In connection with our IPO and through a series of transactions, New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. ("NMF Holdings" or the
"Predecessor Operating Company") acquired all of the operations of the Predecessor Entities, including all of the assets and liabilities related to
such operations.
New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C.
NMF Holdings is a Delaware limited liability company. Until May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings was externally managed and was regulated as a
BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, NMF Holdings was obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. NMF Holdings was treated as a
partnership for United States ("U.S.") federal income tax purposes for so long as it had at least two members. With the completion of the
underwritten secondary offering on February 3, 2014, NMF Holdings' existence as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes terminated and
NMF Holdings became an entity that is disregarded as a separate entity from its owner for U.S. federal tax purposes. For additional information on
our organizational structure prior to May 8, 2014, see "—Restructuring".
Until May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings was externally managed by New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C. (the "Investment Adviser").
As of May 8, 2014, the Investment Adviser serves as the external investment adviser to NMFC. New Mountain Finance Administration, L.L.C. (the
"Administrator") provides the administrative services necessary for operations. The Investment Adviser and Administrator are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of New Mountain Capital. New Mountain Capital is a firm with a track record of investing in the middle market and with assets under
management totaling more than $15.0 billion(1), which includes total assets held by us. New Mountain Capital focuses on investing in defensive
growth companies across its private equity, public equity and credit investment vehicles. NMF Holdings, formerly known as New Mountain
Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C., was originally formed as a subsidiary of New Mountain Guardian AIV, L.P. ("Guardian AIV") by New Mountain
Capital in October 2008. Guardian AIV was formed through an allocation of approximately $300.0 million of the $5.1 billion of commitments
supporting New Mountain Partners III, L.P., a private equity fund managed by New Mountain Capital. In February 2009, New Mountain Capital
formed a co-investment vehicle, New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., comprising $20.4 million of commitments. New Mountain Guardian
(Leveraged), L.L.C. and New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., together with their respective direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, are
defined as the "Predecessor Entities".
Prior to December 18, 2014, New Mountain Finance SPV Funding, L.L.C. ("NMF SLF") was a Delaware limited liability company. NMF SLF
was a wholly-owned subsidiary of NMF Holdings and thus our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary. NMF SLF was bankruptcy-remote and non-
recourse to us. As part of an amendment to our existing credit facilities with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, NMF SLF merged with and
into NMF Holdings on December 18, 2014. See Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 7, Borrowings for additional
information on our credit facilities.

New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation
Until April 25, 2014, New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation ("AIV Holdings") was a Delaware corporation that was originally
incorporated on March 11, 2011. AIV Holdings was dissolved on April 25, 2014. Guardian AIV, a Delaware limited partnership, was AIV Holdings'
sole stockholder. AIV Holdings was a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that was regulated as a BDC under the 1940
Act. As such, AIV Holdings was obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. AIV Holdings was treated, and complied with the
requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code.
Structure
Prior to the Restructuring (as defined below) on May 8, 2014, NMFC and AIV Holdings were holding companies with no direct operations
of their own, and their sole asset was their ownership in NMF Holdings. In connection with the IPO, NMFC and AIV Holdings each entered into a
joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated (the "Operating Agreement"), of NMF
Holdings, pursuant to which NMFC and AIV Holdings were admitted as members of NMF Holdings. NMFC acquired from NMF Holdings, with the
gross proceeds of the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement, common membership units ("units") of NMF Holdings (the number of units were
equal to the number of shares of NMFC's common stock sold in the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement). Additionally, NMFC received units
of NMF Holdings equal to the number of shares of common stock of NMFC issued to the partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P.
Guardian AIV was the parent of NMF Holdings prior to the IPO and, as a result of the transactions completed in connection with the IPO, obtained
units in NMF Holdings. Guardian AIV contributed its units in NMF Holdings to AIV Holdings in exchange for common stock of AIV Holdings. AIV
Holdings had the right to exchange all or any portion of its units in NMF Holdings for shares of NMFC's common stock on a one-for-one basis at
any time.
The original structure was designed to generally prevent NMFC and its stockholders from being allocated taxable income with respect to
unrecognized gains that existed at the time of the IPO in the Predecessor Entities' assets, and rather such amounts would be allocated generally to
AIV Holdings. The result was that any distributions made to NMFC's stockholders that were attributable to such gains generally were not treated
as taxable dividends but rather as return of capital.
Since our IPO, and through December 31, 2015, we raised approximately $454.0 million in net proceeds from additional offerings of common
stock and issued shares of common stock valued at approximately $288.4 million on behalf of AIV Holdings for exchanged units. We acquired from
NMF Holdings units of NMF Holdings equal to the number of shares of our common stock sold in additional offerings. With the completion of the
final secondary offering on February 3, 2014, we owned 100.0% of the units of NMF Holdings, which became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Restructuring
As a BDC, AIV Holdings had been subject to the 1940 Act, including certain provisions applicable only to BDCs. Accordingly, and after
careful consideration of the 1940 Act requirements applicable to BDCs, the cost of 1940 Act compliance and a thorough assessment of AIV
Holdings' business model, AIV Holdings' board of directors determined that continuation as a BDC was not in the best interests of AIV Holdings
and Guardian AIV. Specifically, given that AIV Holdings was formed for the sole purpose of holding units of NMF Holdings and AIV Holdings had
disposed of all of the units of NMF Holdings that it was holding as of February 3, 2014, the board of directors of AIV Holdings approved and
declared advisable at an in-person meeting held on March 25, 2014 the withdrawal of AIV Holdings' election to be regulated as a BDC under the
1940 Act. In addition, the board of directors of AIV Holdings approved and declared advisable for AIV Holdings to terminate its registration under
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and to dissolve AIV Holdings under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
Upon receipt of the necessary stockholder consent to authorize the board of directors of AIV Holdings to withdraw AIV Holdings' election
to be regulated as a BDC, the withdrawal was filed and became effective upon receipt by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of
AIV Holdings' notification of withdrawal on Form N-54C on April 15, 2014. The board of directors of AIV Holdings believed that AIV Holdings met
the requirements for filing the notification to withdraw its election to be regulated as a BDC, upon the receipt of the necessary stockholder consent.
After the notification of withdrawal of AIV Holdings' BDC election was filed with the SEC, AIV Holdings was no longer subject to the regulatory
provisions of the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs generally, including regulations related to insurance, custody, composition of its board of directors,
affiliated transactions and any compensation arrangements.
In addition, on April 15, 2014, AIV Holdings filed a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate AIV Holdings' registration under Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act. After these SEC filings and any other federal or state regulatory or tax filings were made, AIV Holdings proceeded to dissolve under
Delaware law by filing a certificate of dissolution in Delaware on April 25, 2014.

Until May 8, 2014, as a BDC, NMF Holdings had been subject to the 1940 Act, including certain provisions applicable only to BDCs.
Accordingly, and after careful consideration of the 1940 Act requirements applicable to BDCs, the cost of 1940 Act compliance and a thorough
assessment of NMF Holdings' current business model, NMF Holdings' board of directors determined at an in-person meeting held on March 25,
2014 that continuation as a BDC was not in the best interests of NMF Holdings.
At the 2014 joint annual meeting of the stockholders of NMFC and the sole unit holder of NMF Holdings held on May 6, 2014, the
stockholders of NMFC and the sole unit holder of NMF Holdings approved a proposal which authorized the board of directors of NMF Holdings to
withdraw NMF Holdings' election to be regulated as a BDC. Additionally, the stockholders of NMFC approved a new investment advisory and
management agreement between NMFC and the Investment Adviser. Upon receipt of the necessary stockholder/unit holder approval to authorize
the board of directors of NMF Holdings to withdraw NMF Holdings' election to be regulated as a BDC, the withdrawal was filed and became
effective upon receipt by the SEC of NMF Holdings' notification of withdrawal on Form N-54C on May 8, 2014.
Effective May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings amended and restated its Operating Agreement such that the board of directors of NMF Holdings
was dissolved and NMF Holdings remained a wholly-owned subsidiary of NMFC with the sole purpose of serving as a special purpose vehicle for
NMF Holdings' credit facility, and NMFC assumed all other operating activities previously undertaken by NMF Holdings under the management of
the Investment Adviser (collectively, the "Restructuring"). After the Restructuring, all wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of NMFC are
consolidated with NMFC for both 1940 Act and financial statement reporting purposes, subject to any financial statement adjustments required in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). NMFC continues to remain a BDC regulated
under the 1940 Act.
Also, on May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings filed Form 15 with the SEC to terminate NMF Holdings' registration under Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act. As a special purpose entity, NMF Holdings is bankruptcy-remote and non-recourse to NMFC. In addition, the assets held at NMF
Holdings will continue to be used to secure NMF Holdings' credit facility.
Current Organization
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary, NMF QID NGL Holdings, Inc. (“NMF QID”). Our
wholly-owned subsidiaries, NMF Ancora Holdings Inc. ("NMF Ancora"), NMF QID and NMF YP Holdings Inc. ("NMF YP"), are structured as
Delaware entities that serve as tax blocker corporations which hold equity or equity-like investments in portfolio companies organized as limited
liability companies (or other forms of pass-through entities). We consolidate our tax blocker corporations for accounting purposes. The tax blocker
corporations are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may incur income tax expense as a result of their ownership of the portfolio
companies. Additionally, our wholly-owned subsidiary, New Mountain Finance Servicing, L.L.C. ("NMF Servicing") serves as the administrative
agent on certain investment transactions. New Mountain Finance SBIC, L.P. ("SBIC LP"), and its general partner, New Mountain Finance SBIC G.P.,
L.L.C. ("SBIC GP"), were organized in Delaware as a limited partnership and limited liability company, respectively. SBIC LP and SBIC GP are our
consolidated wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries. SBIC LP received a license from the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA") to
operate as a small business investment company ("SBIC") under Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (the
"1958 Act").

New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C.
The Investment Adviser manages our day-to-day operations and provides us with investment advisory and management services. In
particular, the Investment Adviser is responsible for identifying attractive investment opportunities, conducting research and due diligence on
prospective investments, structuring our investments and monitoring and servicing our investments. The Investment Adviser is managed by a five
member investment committee, which is responsible for approving purchases and sales of our investments above $10.0 million in aggregate by
issuer. For additional information on the investment committee, see "Investment Committee" section.
New Mountain Finance Administration, L.L.C.
The Administrator provides the administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. The Administrator also performs, or
oversees the performance of, our financial records, our reports to stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. The Administrator performs the
calculation and publication of our net asset values, the payment of our expenses and oversees the performance of various third-party service
providers and the preparation and filing of our tax returns. The Administrator may also provide, on our behalf, managerial assistance to its portfolio
companies.
Competition
We compete for investments with a number of BDCs and investment funds (including private equity and hedge funds), as well as
traditional financial services companies such as commercial banks and other sources of financing. Many of these entities have greater financial and
managerial resources than we do. We believe we are able to be competitive with these entities primarily on the basis of the experience and contacts
of our management team, our responsive and efficient investment analysis and decision-making processes, the investment terms we offer, the model
that we employ to perform our due diligence with the broader New Mountain Capital team and our model of investing in companies and industries
we know well.
We believe that some of our competitors may make investments with interest rates and returns that are comparable to or lower than the
rates and returns that we target. Therefore, we do not seek to compete solely on the interest rates and returns that we offer to potential portfolio
companies. For additional information concerning the competitive risks we face, see Item 1A.—Risk Factors.

Investment Objective and Portfolio
Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the sourcing and origination of debt securities at
all levels of the capital structure, including first and second lien debt, notes, bonds and mezzanine securities. In some cases, our investments may
also include equity interests such as preferred stock, common stock, warrants or options received in connection with our debt investments or may
include a direct investment in the equity of private companies.
We make investments through both primary originations and open-market secondary purchases. We primarily target loans to, and invest
in, the U.S. middle market businesses, a market segment we believe continues to be underserved by other lenders. We define middle market
businesses as those businesses with annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) between $20.0 million and
$200.0 million. Our primary focus is in the debt of defensive growth companies, which are defined as generally exhibiting the following
characteristics: (i) sustainable secular growth drivers, (ii) high barriers to competitive entry, (iii) high free cash flow after capital expenditure and
working capital needs, (iv) high returns on assets and (v) niche market dominance. Similar to us, SBIC LP’s investment objective is to generate
current income and capital appreciation under our investment criteria. However, SBIC LP’s investments must be in SBA eligible companies. Our
portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries. As of December 31, 2015, our top five industry concentrations were software,
business services, education, distribution & logistics and federal services. Our targeted investments typically have maturities of between five and
ten years and generally range in size between $10.0 million and $50.0 million. This investment size may vary proportionately as the size of our capital
base changes. At December 31, 2015, our portfolio consisted of 75 portfolio companies and was invested 44.3% in first lien loans, 41.8% in second
lien loans, 5.8% in subordinated debt and 8.1% in equity and other, as measured at fair value versus 71 portfolio companies invested 47.6% in first
lien loans, 42.4% in second lien loans, 4.3% in subordinated debt and 5.7% in equity and other at December 31, 2014.
The fair value of our investments was approximately $1,512.2 million in 75 portfolio companies at December 31, 2015 and approximately
$1,424.7 million in 71 portfolio companies at December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2013, our only investment was our investment in the Predecessor
Operating Company. The fair value of the Predecessor Operating Company's investments was approximately $1,115.7 million in 59 portfolio
companies at December 31, 2013.
The following table shows our portfolio and investment activity for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the
Predecessor Operating Company's portfolio and investment activity for the year ended December 31, 2013:

New investments in 36, 43 and 34 portfolio companies, respectively

At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our weighted average Yield to Maturity at Cost was approximately 10.7% and 10.7%,
respectively. The Yield to Maturity at Cost ("Yield to Maturity at Cost") calculation assumes that all investments, including secured collateralized
agreements, not on non-accrual are purchased at the adjusted cost on the quarter end date and held until their respective maturities with no
prepayments or losses and exited at par at maturity. Adjusted cost reflects the GAAP cost for post-IPO investments and a stepped up cost basis of
pre-IPO investments (assuming a step-up to fair market value occurred on the IPO date). This calculation excludes the impact of existing leverage.
Yield to Maturity at Cost uses the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") curves at each quarter's end date. The actual yield to maturity may be
higher or lower due to the future selection of the LIBOR contracts by the individual companies in our portfolio or other factors.

The Investment Adviser has identified the following investment criteria and guidelines for use in evaluating prospective portfolio
companies. However, not all of these criteria and guidelines were, or will be, met in connection with each of our investments.
• Defensive growth industries. We seek to invest in industries that can succeed in both robust and weak economic environments but
which are also sufficiently large and growing to achieve high valuations providing enterprise value cushion for our targeted debt
securities.
• High barriers to competitive entry. We target industries and companies that have well defined industries and well established,
understandable barriers to competitive entry.
•
•
•
•
Recurring revenue. Where possible, we focus on companies that have a high degree of predictability in future revenue.
Flexible cost structure. We seek to invest in businesses that have limited fixed costs and therefore modest operating leverage.
Strong free cash flow and high return on assets. We focus on businesses with a demonstrated ability to produce meaningful free
cash flow from operations. We typically target companies that are not asset intensive and that have minimal capital expenditure and
minimal working capital growth needs.
Sustainable business and niche market dominance. We seek to invest in businesses that exert niche market dominance in their
industry and that have a demonstrated history of sustaining market leadership over time.

Table of Contents
•
•
•
Established companies. We seek to invest in established companies with sound historical financial performance. We do not intend to
invest in start-up companies or companies with speculative business plans.
Private equity sponsorship. We generally seek to invest in companies in conjunction with private equity sponsors who we know and
trust and who have proven capabilities in building value.
Seasoned management team. We generally require that its portfolio companies have a seasoned management team with strong
corporate governance. Oftentimes we have a historical relationship with or direct knowledge of key managers from previous
investment experience.
Investment Selection and Process
The Investment Adviser believes it has developed a proven, consistent and replicable investment process to execute our investment
strategy. The Investment Adviser seeks to identify the most attractive investment sectors from the top down and then works to become the most
advantaged investor in these sectors. The steps in the Investment Adviser's process include:
•
Identifying attractive investment sectors top down;
• Creating competitive advantages in the selected industry sectors; and
•
Targeting companies with leading market share and attractive business models in its chosen sectors.
Investment Committee
The Investment Adviser's investment committee (the "Investment Committee") currently consists of Steven B. Klinsky, Robert A.
Hamwee, Adam B. Weinstein and John R. Kline. The fifth and final member of the Investment Committee will consist of a New Mountain Capital
Managing Director who will hold the position on the Investment Committee on an annual rotating basis. Beginning in August 2015, Matthew S.
Holt was appointed to the Investment Committee for a one year term. In addition, our executive officers and certain investment professionals of the
Investment Adviser are invited to all Investment Committee meetings. The Investment Committee is responsible for approving purchases and sales
of our investments above $10.0 million in aggregate by issuer. Purchases and dispositions below $10.0 million may be approved by our chief
executive officer. These approval thresholds are subject to change over time. We expect to benefit from the extensive and varied relevant experience
of the investment professionals serving on the Investment Committee, which includes expertise in private equity, primary and secondary leveraged
credit, private mezzanine finance and distressed debt.
The purpose of the Investment Committee is to evaluate and approve, as deemed appropriate, all investments by the Investment Adviser,
subject to certain thresholds. The Investment Committee process is intended to bring the diverse experience and perspectives of the Investment
Committee's members to the analysis and consideration of every investment. The Investment Committee also serves to provide investment
consistency and adherence to the Investment Adviser's investment philosophies and policies. The Investment Committee also determines
appropriate investment sizing and suggests ongoing monitoring requirements.
In addition to reviewing investments, the Investment Committee meetings serve as a forum to discuss credit views and outlooks. Potential
transactions and investment opportunities are also reviewed on a regular basis. Members of our investment team are encouraged to share
information and views on credits with the 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
We target debt investments that will yield meaningful current income and occasionally provide the opportunity for capital appreciation
through equity securities. Our debt investments are typically structured with the maximum seniority and collateral that we can reasonably obtain
while seeking to achieve our total return target.
Debt Investments
The terms of our debt investments are tailored to the facts and circumstances of the transaction and prospective portfolio company and
structured to protect its rights and manage its risk while creating incentives for the portfolio company to achieve its business plan. A substantial
source of return is the cash interest that we collect on our debt investments.
•
First Lien Loans and Bonds. First lien loans and bonds generally have terms of four to seven years, provide for a variable or fixed
interest rate, may contain prepayment penalties and are secured by a first priority security interest in all existing and future assets of
the borrower. These first lien loans and bonds may include payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest, which represents contractual interest
accrued and added to the principal that generally becomes due at maturity.

Table of Contents
•
Second Lien Loans and Bonds. Second lien loans and bonds generally have terms of five to eight years, provide for a variable or fixed
interest rate, may contain prepayment penalties and are secured by a second priority security interest in all existing and future assets
of the borrower. These second lien loans and bonds may include PIK interest.
• Unsecured Senior, Subordinated and "Mezzanine" Loans and Bonds. Any unsecured investments are generally expected to have
terms of five to ten years and provide for a fixed interest rate. Unsecured investments may include PIK interest and may have an
equity component, such as warrants to purchase common stock in the portfolio company.
In addition, from time to time we may also enter into revolving credit facilities, bridge financing commitments, delayed draw commitments or
other commitments which can result in providing future financing to a portfolio company.
Equity Investments
When we make a debt investment, we may be granted equity in the portfolio company in the same class of security as the sponsor receives
upon funding. In addition, we may from time to time make non-control, equity co-investments in conjunction with private equity sponsors. We
generally seek to structure our equity investments, such as direct equity co-investments, to provide us with minority rights provisions and event-
driven put rights. We also seek to obtain limited registration rights in connection with these investments, which may include “piggyback”
registration rights.
Portfolio Company Monitoring
We monitor the performance and financial trends of our portfolio companies on at least a quarterly basis. We attempt to identify any
developments within the portfolio company, the industry or the macroeconomic environment that may alter any material element of our original
investment strategy. We use several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance of our investments, including but not limited to, the
following:
•
•
•
•
review of monthly and/or quarterly financial statements and financial projections for portfolio companies provided by its management;
ongoing dialogue with and review of original diligence sources;
periodic contact with portfolio company management (and, if appropriate, the private equity sponsor) to discuss financial position,
requirements and accomplishments; and
assessment of business development success, including product development, profitability and the portfolio company's overall
adherence to its business plan.
We use an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the credit profile and expected level of returns on each investment in the
portfolio. We use a four-level numeric rating scale as follows:
•
•
•
•
Investment Rating 1—Investment is performing materially above expectations;
Investment Rating 2—Investment is performing materially in-line with expectations. All new loans are rated 2 at initial purchase;
Investment Rating 3—Investment is performing materially below expectations and risk has increased materially since the original
investment; and
Investment Rating 4—Investment is performing substantially below expectations and risks have increased substantially since the
original investment. Payments may be delinquent. There is meaningful possibility that we will not recoup our original cost basis in the
investment and may realize a substantial loss upon exit.

Exit Strategies/Refinancing
We exit our investments typically through one of four scenarios: (i) the sale of the portfolio company itself resulting in repayment of all
outstanding debt, (ii) the recapitalization of the portfolio company in which our loan is replaced with debt or equity from a third party or parties (in
some cases, we may choose to participate in the newly issued loan(s)), (iii) the repayment of the initial or remaining principal amount of our loan
then outstanding at maturity or (iv) the sale of the debt investment by us. In some investments, there may be scheduled amortization of some
portion of our loan which would result in a partial exit of our investment prior to the maturity of the loan.
Valuation
At all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act, we conduct a valuation of assets, which impacts our net asset value.
We value our assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, our board of directors is ultimately
and solely responsible for determining the fair value of our portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are
not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available and any other situation where our portfolio investments require a fair value
determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Our quarterly valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:
(1) Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing
price indicated from independent pricing services.
(2) Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi-
step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with
GAAP.
a. Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the investment professionals of
the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and if so, the quote
is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment's par value or its fair
value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see
(3) below); and
b. For investments other than bonds, the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser look at the number of quotes readily
available and perform the following:
i.
ii.
Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid
and ask of the quotes obtained;
Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment professionals of the
Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate
the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote internally and if the investment's par value or
its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes
(see (3) below).
9
Table of Contents
(3) Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a
multi-step valuation process:
a. Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for
the credit monitoring;
b. Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with our senior management;
c.
If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment's par value or its fair value exceeds the
materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which the investment
professionals of the Investment Adviser do not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent
valuation firm engaged by our board of directors; and
d. When deemed appropriate by our management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value investment(s) of a
portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment professionals of
the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.
For investments in revolving credit facilities and delayed draw commitments, the cost basis of the funded investments purchased is offset
by any costs/netbacks received for any unfunded portion on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for the price appreciation
or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of commitments not completely funded may result in a negative fair value until it
is called and funded.
The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might
ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are
liquidated. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair
value of certain investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.
Operating and Regulatory Environment
As with other companies regulated by the 1940 Act, a BDC must adhere to certain regulatory requirements. The 1940 Act contains
prohibitions and restrictions relating to investments by a BDC in another investment company as well as transactions between BDCs and their
affiliates, principal underwriters and affiliates of those affiliates or underwriters. A BDC must be organized in the U.S. for the purpose of investing in
or lending to primarily private companies and making significant managerial assistance available to them. A BDC may use capital provided by public
stockholders and from other sources to make long-term, private investments in businesses. A BDC provides stockholders the ability to retain the
liquidity of a publicly traded stock while sharing in the possible benefits, if any, of investing in primarily privately owned companies.
We have a board of directors. A majority of our board of directors must be persons who are not interested persons, as that term is defined
in the 1940 Act. As a BDC, we are prohibited from protecting any director or officer against any liability to us or our stockholders arising from willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person's office. Additionally, we are
required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect the BDC.
As a BDC, we are required to meet a coverage ratio of the value of total assets to total senior securities, which include all of our
borrowings, excluding SBA-guaranteed debentures, and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200.0% (i.e., the amount of debt
may not exceed 50.0% of the value of our total assets or we may borrow an amount equal to 100.0% of net assets). We monitor our compliance with
this coverage ratio on a regular basis.
We may, to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, issue additional equity or debt capital. We will generally not be able to issue and sell
our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. We may, however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our
common stock, at a price below the then-current net asset value of our common stock if our board of directors determines that such sale is in our
best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, and our stockholders approve such sale. In addition, we may generally issue new shares of
our common stock at a price below net asset value in rights offerings to existing stockholders, in payment of dividends and in certain other limited
circumstances.
As a BDC, we will not generally be permitted to invest in any portfolio company in which the Investment Adviser or any of its affiliates
currently have an investment or to make any co-investments with the Investment Adviser or its affiliates without an exemptive order from the SEC.
10
Table of Contents
We may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or withdraw our election as, a BDC unless authorized by vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities, as required by the 1940 Act. A majority of the outstanding voting securities of a company is defined
under the 1940 Act as the lesser of: (a) 67.0% or more of such company's voting securities present at a meeting if more than 50.0% of the
outstanding voting securities of such company are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50.0% of the outstanding voting securities of
such company. We do not anticipate any substantial change in the nature of our business.
In addition, as a BDC, we are not permitted to issue stock in consideration for services.
Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company
We have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M
of the Code. As a RIC, we generally will not be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any net ordinary income or capital gains that
we timely distribute (or are deemed to distribute) to our stockholders as dividends. Rather, dividends distributed (or deemed distributed) by us
generally will be taxable to our stockholders, and any net operating losses, foreign tax credits and other tax attributes of ours generally will not pass
through to our stockholders, subject to special rules for certain items such as net capital gains and qualified dividend income recognized by us.
To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to
qualify as a RIC, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90.0% of our "investment company taxable income", which is
generally our net ordinary income plus the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses (the "Annual
Distribution Requirement").
We will be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless we distribute in a timely manner an
amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of our net ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income for the one-
year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income recognized, but not distributed and on which we did not pay corporate-level
U.S. federal income tax, in preceding years (the "Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement"). While we intend to make distributions to our stockholders in
each taxable year that will be sufficient to avoid any federal excise tax on our earnings, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in
entirely avoiding this tax.
In order to qualify as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must, among other things:
•
•
continue to qualify as a BDC under the 1940 Act at all times during each taxable year;
derive in each taxable year at least 90.0% of our gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to loans of certain
securities, gains from the sale of stock or other securities or foreign currencies, net income from certain "qualified publicly traded
partnerships", or other income derived with respect to our business of investing in such stock or securities (the "90.0% Income
Test"); and
•
diversify our holdings so that at the end of each quarter of the taxable year:
•
•
at least 50.0% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs,
and other securities if such other securities of any one issuer do not represent more than 5.0% of the value of our assets or more
than 10.0% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer; and
no more than 25.0% of the value of our assets are invested in the securities, other than U.S. government securities or securities of
other RICs, of: (1) one issuer, (2) 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 (3) businesses or of certain "qualified publicly traded
partnerships" (the "Diversification Tests").
A RIC is limited in its ability to deduct expenses in excess of its "investment company taxable income". If our expenses in a given year
exceed our investment company taxable income, we would experience a net operating loss for that year. However, a RIC is not permitted to carry
forward net operating losses to subsequent years and such net operating losses do not pass through to its stockholders. In addition, expenses can
be used only to offset investment company taxable income, not net capital gain. A RIC may not use any net capital losses (that is, realized capital
losses in excess of realized capital gains) to offset the RIC's investment company taxable income, but may carry forward such losses, and use them
to offset capital gains, indefinitely. Due to these limits on the deductibility of expenses and net capital losses, we may for tax purposes have
aggregate taxable income for several years that we are required to distribute and that is taxable to our stockholders even if such income is greater
than the aggregate net income we actually earned during those years.
11
Table of Contents
Failure to Qualify as a Regulated Investment Company
If we fail to satisfy the 90.0% Income Test or the Diversification Tests for any taxable year or quarter of such taxable year, we may
nevertheless continue to qualify as a RIC for such year if certain relief provisions of the Code apply (which may, among other things, require us to
pay certain corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes or to dispose of certain assets). If we fail to qualify for treatment as a RIC and such relief
provisions do not apply to us, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporate rates (and also will be
subject to any applicable state and local taxes), regardless of whether we make any distributions to our stockholders. Distributions would not be
required. However, if distributions were made, any such distributions would be taxable to our stockholders as ordinary dividend income and,
subject to certain limitations under the Code, any such distributions may be eligible for the 20.0% maximum rate applicable to non-corporate
taxpayers to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributees
would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits would be
treated first as a return of capital to the extent of the stockholder's tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain.
Subject to a limited exception applicable to RICs that qualified as such under Subchapter M of the Code for at least one year prior to
disqualification and that requalify as a RIC no later than the second year following the non-qualifying year, we could be subject to tax on any
unrealized net built-in gains in the assets held by us during the period in which we failed to qualify as a RIC that are recognized during the ten-year
period (or five-year period for taxable years beginning during 2013) after our requalification as a RIC, unless we made a special election to pay
corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on such built-in gain at the time of our requalification as a RIC. We may decide to be taxed as a regular
corporation even if we would otherwise qualify as a RIC if we determine that treatment as a corporation for a particular year would be in our best
interests.
SBA Regulation
On August 1, 2014, our wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiary, SBIC LP received a license from the SBA to operate as an SBIC under
Section 301(c) of the 1958 Act. SBIC LP has an investment strategy and philosophy substantially similar to ours and makes similar types of
investments in accordance with SBA regulations.
A license allows SBIC LP to incur leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures, subject to the issuance of a capital commitment and
certain approvals by the SBA and customary procedures. SBA-guaranteed debentures carry long-term fixed rates that are generally lower than rates
on comparable bank and other debt. Under the regulations applicable to SBICs, a standard debenture licensed SBIC is eligible for two tiers of
leverage capped at $150.0 million, where each tier is equivalent to the SBIC's regulatory capital, which generally equates to the amount of equity
capital in the SBIC. Debentures guaranteed by the SBA have a maturity of ten years, require semi-annual payments of interest and do not require
any principal payments prior to maturity. As of December 31, 2015, SBIC LP had $117.7 million of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures. SBIC LP
is subject to regulation and oversight by the SBA, including requirements with respect to reporting financial information, such as the extent of
capital impairment if applicable, on a regular basis and annual examinations conducted by the SBIC. The SBA, as a creditor, will have a superior
claim to SBIC LP's assets over our stockholders in the event SBIC LP is liquidated or the SBA exercises its remedies under the SBA-guaranteed
debentures issued by SBIC LP upon an event of default.
On November 5, 2014, we received exemptive relief from the SEC to permit us to exclude the SBA-guaranteed debentures of SBIC LP from
our 200.0% asset coverage test under the 1940 Act. As such, our ratio of total consolidated assets to outstanding indebtedness may be less than
200.0%. This provides us with increased investment flexibility but also increases our risks related to leverage.
SBICs are designed to stimulate the flow of private investor capital to eligible small businesses as defined by the SBA. Under SBA
regulations, SBICs may make loans to eligible small businesses, invest in the equity securities of such businesses and provide them with consulting
and advisory services. Under present SBA regulations, eligible small businesses generally include businesses that (together with their affiliates)
have a tangible net worth not exceeding $19.5 million for the most recent fiscal year and have average annual net income after U.S. federal income
taxes not exceeding $6.5 million (average net income to be computed without benefit of any carryover loss) for the two most recent fiscal years. In
addition, an SBIC must invest 25.0% of its investment capital to "smaller business", as defined by the SBA. The definition of a smaller business
generally includes businesses that have a tangible net worth not exceeding $6.0 million for the most recent fiscal year and have average annual net
income after U.S. federal income taxes not exceeding $2.0 million (average net income to be computed without benefit of any net carryover loss) for
the two most recent fiscal years. SBA regulations also provide alternative size standard criteria to determine eligibility for designation as an eligible
small business or smaller concern, which criteria depend on the primary industry in which the business is engaged and is based on such factors as
the number of employees and gross revenue. However, once an SBIC has invested in an eligible small business, it may continue to make follow on
investments in the company, regardless of the size of the company at the time of the follow on investment.
12
Table of Contents
The SBA prohibits an SBIC from providing funds to small businesses with certain characteristics, such as businesses with the majority of
their employees located outside the U.S., or from investing in project finance, real estate, farmland, financial intermediaries or "passive" (i.e. non-
operating) businesses. Without prior SBA approval, an SBIC may not invest an amount equal to more than approximately 30.0% of the SBIC's
regulatory capital in any one company and its affiliates.
The SBA places certain limitations on the financing terms of investments by SBICs in portfolio companies (such as limiting the permissible
interest rate on debt securities held by an SBIC in a portfolio company). An SBIC may exercise control over a small business for a period of up to
seven years from the date on which the SBIC initially acquires its control position. This control period may be extended for an additional period of
time with the SBA's prior written approval.
The SBA restricts the ability of an SBIC to lend money to any of its officers, directors and employees or to invest in associates thereof.
The SBA also prohibits, without prior SBA approval, a "change of control" of an SBIC or transfers that would result in any person (or a group of
persons acting in concert) owning 10.0% or more of a class of capital stock of a licensed SBIC. A "change of control" is any event which would
result in the transfer of the power, direct or indirect, to direct the management and policies of an SBIC, whether through ownership, contractual
arrangements or otherwise.
The SBA regulations require, among other things, an annual periodic examination of a licensed SBIC by an SBA examiner to determine the
SBIC's compliance with the relevant SBA regulations, and the performance of a financial audit by an independent auditor.
In December 2015, the 2016 omnibus spending bill approved by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by the President increased the
amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures that affiliated SBIC funds can have outstanding from $225.0 million to $350.0 million, subject to SBA
approval.
Investment Management Agreement
We are a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We
are externally managed by our Investment Adviser and pay our Investment Adviser a fee for its services. The following summarizes our
arrangements with the Investment Adviser pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement (the "Investment Management
Agreement").
Management Services
The Investment Adviser is registered as an Investment Adviser under the Advisers Act. The Investment Adviser serves pursuant to the
Investment Management Agreement in accordance with the 1940 Act. Subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors, the Investment
Adviser manages our day-to-day operations and provides us with investment advisory and management services. Under the terms of the
Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to its portfolio and the manner of implementing such
changes;
determines the securities and other assets that we will purchase, retain or sell;
identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of our investments that we make;
executes, monitors and services the investments that we make;
performs due diligence on prospective portfolio companies;
votes, exercises consents and exercises all other rights appertaining to such securities and other assets on our behalf; and
provides us with such other investment advisory, research and related services as we may, from time to time, reasonably require.
The Investment Adviser's services under the Investment Management Agreement are not exclusive, and the Investment Adviser (so long
as its services to us are not impaired) and/or other entities affiliated with New Mountain Capital are permitted to furnish similar services to other
entities.
Management Fees
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, we have agreed to pay the Investment Adviser a fee for investment advisory and
management services consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee
payable to the Investment Adviser and any incentive fees paid in cash to the Investment Adviser are borne by us and, as a result, are indirectly
borne by our common stockholders.
13
Table of Contents
Base Management Fees
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of our gross assets,
which equals our total assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less (i) the borrowings under the senior loan fund's Loan
and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, dated October 27, 2010, as amended (the "SLF Credit Facility"), and (ii) cash
and cash equivalents. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and is calculated based on the average value of our gross assets,
which equals our total assets, as determined in accordance with GAAP, less the borrowings under the SLF Credit Facility and cash and cash
equivalents, at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis for any equity
capital raises or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. We have not invested, and currently do not invest, in derivatives. To the extent we
invest in derivatives in the future, we will use the actual value of the derivatives, as reported on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and
Liabilities, for purposes of calculating our base management fee.
Since our IPO, the base management fee calculation has deducted the borrowings under the SLF Credit Facility. The SLF Credit Facility
had historically consisted of primarily lower yielding assets at higher advance rates. As part of an amendment to our existing credit facilities with
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the SLF Credit Facility merged with the NMF Holdings' Loan and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, dated May 19, 2011, as amended and restated (the "Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility"), and into the Second
Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Holdings Credit Facility") on
December 18, 2014. See Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 7, Borrowings for additional information on our credit
facilities. Post credit facility merger and to be consistent with the methodology since our IPO, the Investment Adviser will continue to waive
management fees on the leverage associated with those assets that share the same underlying yield characteristics with investments leveraged
under the legacy SLF Credit Facility, which approximated $304.9 million as of December 31, 2015. The Investment Adviser cannot recoup
management fees that the Investment Adviser has previously waived. For the year ended December 31, 2015, total management fees waived was
approximately $5.2 million.
Incentive Fees
The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals 20.0% of our "Pre-Incentive
Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income" for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a "preferred return", or "hurdle", and a "catch-up" feature.
"Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than
fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive
from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee,
expenses payable under an administration agreement, as amended and restated (the "Administration Agreement"), with the Administrator, and any
interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock (of which there are none as of December 31, 2015), but
excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as
original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-
Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or
depreciation.
Under GAAP, our IPO did not step-up the cost basis of the Predecessor Operating Company's existing investments to fair market value at
the IPO date. Since the total value of the Predecessor Operating Company's investments at the time of the IPO was greater than the investments'
cost basis, a larger amount of amortization of purchase or original issue discount, as well as different amounts in realized gain and unrealized
appreciation, may be recognized under GAAP in each period than if the step-up had occurred. This will remain until such predecessor investments
are sold or mature in the future. We track the transferred (or fair market) value of each of our investments as of the time of the IPO and, for purposes
of the incentive fee calculation, adjust Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income to reflect the amortization of purchase or original issue discount on
our investments as if each investment was purchased at the date of our IPO, or stepped up to fair market value. This is defined as "Pre-Incentive
Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income". We also use the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its investments as of the time of the IPO to
adjust capital gains ("Adjusted Realized Capital Gains") or losses ("Adjusted Realized Capital Losses") and unrealized capital appreciation
("Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation") and unrealized capital depreciation ("Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation").
Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the
immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a "hurdle rate" of 2.0% per quarter (8.0% annualized), subject to a "catch-up" provision
measured as of the end of each calendar quarter. The hurdle rate is appropriately pro-rated for any partial periods. The calculation of our incentive
fee with respect to the Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income for each quarter is as follows:
14
Table of Contents
• No incentive fee is payable to the Investment Adviser in any calendar quarter in which our Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net
Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0% (the "preferred return" or "hurdle").
•
100.0% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net
Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10.0% annualized) is
payable to the Investment Adviser. This portion of our Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle
rate but is less than or equal to 2.5%) is referred to as the "catch-up". The catch-up provision is intended to provide the Investment
Adviser with an incentive fee of 20.0% on all of our Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not
apply when our Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter.
•
20.0% of the amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter
(10.0% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved.
The second part will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment
Management Agreement) and will equal 20.0% of our Adjusted Realized Capital Gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end
of each calendar year, computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis,
less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fee.
In accordance with GAAP, we accrue a hypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon the cumulative net Adjusted Realized Capital
Gains and Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and the cumulative net Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation and Adjusted Unrealized Capital
Depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. Actual amounts paid to the Investment Adviser are consistent with the Investment
Management Agreement and are based only on actual Adjusted Realized Capital Gains computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and
Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year as if the entire portfolio was
sold at fair value.
Example 1: Income Related Portion of Incentive Fee for Each Calendar Quarter*:
Alternative 1
Assumptions
Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 1.25%
Hurdle rate(1) = 2.00%
Management fee(2) = 0.44%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, safekeeping agent, transfer agent, etc.)(3) = 0.20%
Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income
(investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 0.61%
Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate, therefore there is no income related incentive fee.
Alternative 2
Assumptions
Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 2.90%
Hurdle rate(1) = 2.00%
Management fee(2) = 0.44%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, safekeeping agent, transfer agent, etc.)(3) = 0.20%
Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income
(investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 2.26%
Incentive fee = 100.00% × Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income (subject to "catch-up")(4)
= 100.00% × (2.26% – 2.00%)
= 0.26%
Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income exceeds the hurdle rate, but does not fully satisfy the "catch-up" provision, therefore
the income related portion of the incentive fee is 0.26%.

Table of Contents
Alternative 3
Assumptions
Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 3.50%
Hurdle rate(1) = 2.00%
Management fee(2) = 0.44%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, safekeeping agent, transfer agent, etc.)(3) = 0.20%
Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income
(investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 2.86%
Incentive fee = 100.00% × Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income (subject to "catch-up")(4)
Incentive fee = 100.00% × "catch-up" + (20.00% × (Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income 2.50%))
Catch-up = 2.50% – 2.00%
= 0.50%
Incentive fee = (100.00% × 0.50%) + (20.00% × (2.86% – 2.50%))
= 0.50% + (20.00% × 0.36%)
= 0.50% + 0.07%
= 0.57%
Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income exceeds the hurdle rate, and fully satisfies the "catch-up" provision, therefore the income
related portion of the incentive fee is 0.57%.
_______________________________________________________________________________
* The hypothetical amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income shown is based on a percentage of total net assets and assumes, for our
investments held prior to the IPO, interest income has been adjusted to reflect the amortization of purchase or original issue discount as if each
investment was purchased at the date of the IPO, or stepped up to fair market value.
(1) Represents 8.00% annualized hurdle rate.
(2) Assumes 1.75% annualized base management fee.
(3) Excludes organizational and offering expenses.
(4) The "catch-up" provision is intended to provide the Investment Adviser with an incentive fee of 20.00% on all Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net
Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when our net investment income exceeds 2.50% in any calendar quarter.
Example 2: Capital Gains Portion of Incentive Fee*:
Alternative 1:
Assumptions
Year 1: $20.0 million investment made in Company A ("Investment A"), and $30.0 million investment made in Company B ("Investment
B")
Year 2: Investment A sold for $50.0 million and fair market value ("FMV") of Investment B determined to be $32.0 million
Year 3: FMV of Investment B determined to be $25.0 million
Year 4: Investment B sold for $31.0 million
The capital gains portion of the incentive fee would be:
Year 1: None
Year 2: Capital gains incentive fee of $6.0 million—($30.0 million realized capital gains on sale of Investment A multiplied by 20.0%)
16
Table of Contents
Year 3: None—$5.0 million (20.0% multiplied by ($30.0 million cumulative capital gains less $5.0 million cumulative capital
depreciation)) less $6.0 million (previous capital gains fee paid in Year 2)
Year 4: Capital gains incentive fee of $0.2 million—$6.2 million ($31.0 million cumulative realized capital gains multiplied by 20.0%) less
$6.0 million (capital gains incentive fee taken in Year 2)
Alternative 2
Assumptions
Year 1: $20.0 million investment made in Company A ("Investment A"), $30.0 million investment made in Company B ("Investment B")
and $25.0 million investment made in Company C ("Investment C")
Year 2: Investment A sold for $50.0 million, FMV of Investment B determined to be $25.0 million and FMV of Investment C determined
to be $25.0 million
Year 3: FMV of Investment B determined to be $27.0 million and Investment C sold for $30.0 million
Year 4: FMV of Investment B determined to be $35.0 million
Year 5: Investment B sold for $20.0 million
The capital gains incentive fee, if any, would be:
Year 1: None
Year 2: $5.0 million capital gains incentive fee—20.0% multiplied by $25.0 million ($30.0 million realized capital gains on Investment A
less $5.0 million unrealized capital depreciation on Investment B)
Year 3: $1.4 million capital gains incentive fee—$6.4 million (20.0% multiplied by $32.0 million ($35.0 million cumulative realized capital
gains less $3.0 million unrealized capital depreciation)) less $5.0 million capital gains incentive fee received in Year 2
Year 4: $0.6 million capital gains incentive fee—$7.0 million (20.0% multiplied by $35.0 million cumulative realized capital gains) less
cumulative $6.4 million capital gains incentive fee received in Year 2 and Year 3
Year 5: None—$5.0 million (20.0% multiplied by $25.0 million (cumulative realized capital gains of $35.0 million less realized capital
losses of $10.0 million)) less $7.0 million cumulative capital gains incentive fee paid in Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4(1)
_______________________________________________________________________________
* The hypothetical amounts of returns shown are based on a percentage of our total net assets and assume no leverage. There is no guarantee
that positive returns will be realized and actual returns may vary from those shown in this example. The capital gains incentive fees are
calculated on an "adjusted" basis for our investments held prior to the IPO and assumes those investments have been adjusted to reflect the
amortization of purchase or original issue discount as if each investment was purchased at the date of the IPO, or stepped up to fair market
value.
(1) As noted above, it is possible that the cumulative aggregate capital gains fee received by the Investment Adviser ($7.0 million) is effectively
greater than $5.0 million (20.0% of cumulative aggregate realized capital gains less net realized capital losses or net unrealized depreciation
($25.0 million)).
Payment of Expenses
Our primary operating expenses are the payment of a base management fee and any incentive fees under the Investment Management
Agreement and the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations to us under the
Administration Agreement. We bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions, including (without limitation) fees and expenses relating

allocable portion of the compensation of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs.
Board Consideration of the Investment Management Agreement
Our board of directors determined at an in-person meeting held on February 3, 2016, to re-approve our Investment Management Agreement
with the Investment Adviser. In the consideration of the re-approval of the Investment Management Agreement, our board of directors focused on
information they had received relating to, among other things:
•
•
•
•
•
the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services to be provided to us by the Investment Adviser;
comparative data with respect to advisory fees or similar expenses paid by other BDCs with similar investment objectives;
our projected operating expenses and expense ratio compared to BDCs with similar investment objectives;
any existing and potential sources of indirect income to the Investment Adviser or the Administrator from their relationships with us
and the profitability of those relationships, including through the Investment Management Agreement and the Administration
Agreement;
information about the services to be performed and the personnel performing such services under the Investment Management
Agreement;
•
•
the organizational capability and financial condition of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates;
the Investment Adviser's practices regarding the selection and compensation of brokers that may execute our portfolio transactions
and the brokers' provision of brokerage and research services to the Investment Adviser; and
•
the possibility of obtaining similar services from other third party service providers or through an internally managed structure.
18
Table of Contents
Based on the information reviewed and the discussions, our board of directors, including a majority of the non-interested directors,
concluded that fees payable to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement were reasonable in relation to the
services to be provided. Our board of directors did not assign relative weights to the above factors or the other factors considered by them. In
addition, our board of directors did not reach any specific conclusion on each factor considered, but conducted an overall analysis of these factors.
Individual members of our board of directors may have given different weights to different factors.
Qualifying Assets
Under the 1940 Act, a BDC may not acquire any asset other than assets of the type listed in Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act, which are
referred to as qualifying assets, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70.0% of the BDC's total assets. The
principal categories of qualifying assets relevant to our business are any of the following:
1)
Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering from the issuer of such securities, which issuer (subject to
certain limited exceptions) is an eligible portfolio company, or from any person who is, or has been during the preceding 13 months, an
affiliated person of an eligible portfolio company, or from any other person, subject to such rules as may be prescribed by the SEC. An
eligible portfolio company is defined in the 1940 Act as any issuer which:
(a)
is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of business in, the U.S.;
(b)
is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly-owned by the BDC) or a company that
would be an investment company but for certain exclusions under the 1940 Act; and
(c)
satisfies any of the following:
(i)
does not have any class of securities that is traded on a national securities exchange;
(ii)
has a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange, but has an aggregate market value of outstanding
voting and non-voting common equity of less than $250.0 million;
(iii)
is controlled by a BDC or a group of companies including a BDC and the BDC has an affiliated person who is a director
of the eligible portfolio company; or
(iv)
is a small and solvent company having total assets of not more than $4.0 million and capital and surplus of not less than
$2.0 million.
2)
Securities of any eligible portfolio company that a BDC controls.
3)
4)
5)
6)
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 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.
Securities of an eligible portfolio company purchased from any person in a private transaction if there is no ready market for such
securities and a BDC already owns 60.0% of the outstanding equity of the eligible portfolio company.
Securities received in exchange for or distributed on or with respect to securities described in (1) through (4) above, or pursuant to the
exercise of warrants or rights relating to such securities.
Cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of
investment.
In addition, a BDC must have been organized and have its principal place of business in the U.S. and must be operated for the purpose of
making investments in the types of securities described in (1), (2) or (3) above.
As of December 31, 2015, 6.8% of our total assets were non-qualifying assets.
19
Table of Contents
Managerial Assistance to Portfolio Companies
BDCs generally must offer to make available to the issuer of its securities significant managerial assistance, except in circumstances where
either (i) the BDC controls such issuer of securities or (ii) the BDC purchases such securities in conjunction with one or more other persons acting
together and one of the other persons in the group makes available such managerial assistance. Making available managerial assistance means,
among other things, any arrangement whereby the BDC 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. The Administrator or its affiliate provides such
managerial assistance on our behalf to portfolio companies that request this assistance.
Temporary Investments
Pending investments in other types of qualifying assets, our investments may consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government
securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment (collectively, as “temporary investments”), so that
70.0% of our assets are qualifying assets. Typically, we will invest in U.S. Treasury bills or in repurchase agreements, provided that such
agreements are fully collateralized by cash or securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies. A repurchase agreement involves the
purchase by an investor, such as us, of a specified security and the simultaneous agreement by the seller to repurchase it at an agreed-upon future
date and at a price that is greater than the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate. There is no percentage restriction
on the proportion of our assets that may be invested in such repurchase agreements. However, if more than 25.0% of our total assets constitute
repurchase agreements from a single counterparty, we would not meet the Diversification Tests 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. The Investment Adviser
will monitor the creditworthiness of the counterparties with which we enter into repurchase agreement transactions.
Senior Securities
We are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of debt if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least
equal to 200.0% immediately after each such issuance. In addition, while any senior securities remain outstanding (other than any indebtedness
issued in consideration of a privately arranged loan, such as any indebtedness outstanding under the Holdings Credit Facility, or the Senior
Secured Revolving Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. and Stifel Bank & Trust, dated June 4, 2014, as
amended (together with the related guarantee and security agreement, the "NMFC Credit Facility"), or the convertible notes issued on June 3, 2014
under our indenture with U.S. Bank National Association (the "Convertible Notes")), we must make provisions to prohibit any distribution to our
stockholders or the repurchase of its equity securities unless we meet the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the distribution or
repurchase. We may also borrow amounts up to 5.0% of the value of our total assets for temporary or emergency purposes without regard to our
asset coverage. We will include our assets and liabilities and all of our wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries for purposes of calculating the
asset coverage ratio. We received exemptive relief from the SEC on November 5, 2014, allowing us to modify the asset coverage requirement to
exclude SBA-guaranteed debentures from this calculation. For a discussion of the risks associated with leverage, see Item 1A.—Risk Factors.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act that establishes procedures for personal investments and
restricts certain personal securities transactions. Personnel subject to the code may invest in securities for their personal investment accounts,
including securities that may be purchased or held by us so long as such investments are made in accordance with the code’s requirements. You
may read and copy the code of ethics at the SEC’s Public Reference Room located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, District of Columbia 20549.
You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330, and a copy of the code of ethics
may be obtained, after paying a duplication fee, by electronic request at the following e-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov. In addition, the code of
ethics is available on the SEC’s Internet site at http://www.sec.gov.
Compliance Policies and Procedures
We and the Investment Adviser have adopted and implemented written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violation
of the federal securities laws and we are required to review these compliance policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the
effectiveness of their implementation. Our chief compliance officer is responsible for administering these policies and procedures.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures
We have delegated our proxy voting responsibility to the Investment Adviser. The proxy voting policies and procedures of the
Investment Adviser are set forth below. The guidelines will be reviewed periodically by the Investment Adviser and our non-interested directors,
and, accordingly, are subject to change.
Introduction
As an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, the Investment Adviser has a fiduciary duty to act solely in the best interests
of its clients. As part of this duty, it recognizes that it must vote our securities in a timely manner free of conflicts of interest and in our best
interests.
The policies and procedures for voting proxies for the investment advisory clients of the Investment Adviser are intended to comply with
Section 206 of, and Rule 206(4)-6 under, the Advisers Act.
Proxy policies
The Investment Adviser will vote proxies relating to our securities in our best interest. It will review on a case-by-case basis each proposal
submitted for a stockholder vote to determine its impact on the portfolio securities held by us. Although the Investment Adviser will generally vote
against proposals that may have a negative impact on its clients’ portfolio securities, it may vote for such a proposal if there exists compelling long-
term reasons to do so.
The proxy voting decisions of the Investment Adviser are made by the senior officers who are responsible for monitoring each of its
clients’ investments. To ensure that its vote is not the product of a conflict of interest, it will require that: (a) anyone involved in the decision
making process disclose to the chief compliance officer any potential conflict that he or she is aware of and any contact that he or she has had with
any interested party regarding a proxy vote; and (b) employees involved in the decision making process or vote administration are prohibited from
revealing how the Investment Adviser intends to vote on a proposal in order to reduce any attempted influence from interested parties.
Proxy voting records
You may obtain, without charge, information regarding how we voted proxies with respect to our portfolio securities by making a written
request for proxy voting information to: Chief Compliance Officer, 787 Seventh Avenue, 48th Floor, New York, New York 10019.
Staffing
We do not have any employees. Day-to-day investment operations that are conducted by us are managed by the Investment Adviser. See
“—Investment Management Agreement”. We reimburse the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in
performing its obligations to us under the Administration Agreement, including the compensation of our chief financial officer and chief compliance
officer, and their respective staffs. For a more detailed discussion of the Administration Agreement, see Item 8.—Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data—Note 5, Agreements.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 imposes a variety of regulatory requirements on publicly-held companies and their insiders. Many of
these requirements affect us. For example:
•
•
•
•
pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are required to certify the accuracy
of the financial statements contained in our periodic reports;
pursuant to Item 307 of Regulation S-K, our periodic reports are required to disclose our conclusions about the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures;
pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, management is required to prepare a report regarding their assessment of their internal
control over financial reporting and are required to obtain an audit of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
performed by our independent registered public accounting firm; and
pursuant to Item 308 of Regulation S-K and Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act, our periodic reports are required to disclose whether
there were significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these
controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.
21
Table of Contents
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to review our current policies and procedures to determine whether we comply with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the regulations promulgated thereunder. We intend to monitor our compliance with all regulations that are adopted
under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and will take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance therewith.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the significant risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this Form 10-
K, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before making an investment decision in us. The risks set forth below
are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may
materially affect our business, our structure, our financial condition, our investments and/or operating results. If any of the following events
occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, our net asset value
and the trading price of our common stock could decline. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our investment objective and you may
lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND STRUCTURE
Global capital markets could enter a period of severe disruption and instability. These market conditions have historically and could again
have a materially adverse effect on debt and equity capital markets in the U.S., which could have, a materially negative impact on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
The U.S. and global capital markets have experienced periods of disruption characterized by the freezing of available credit, a lack of
liquidity in the debt capital markets, significant losses in the principal value of investments, the re-pricing of credit risk in the broadly syndicated
credit market, the failure of certain major financial institutions and general volatility in the financial markets. During these periods of disruption,
general economic conditions deteriorated with material and adverse consequences for the broader financial and credit markets, and the availability
of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole, and financial services firms in particular, was reduced significantly. These conditions may
reoccur for a prolonged period of time or materially worsen in the future. In addition, signs of deteriorating sovereign debt conditions in Europe and
concerns of economic slowdown in China create uncertainty that could lead to further disruptions and instability. We may in the future have
difficulty accessing debt and equity capital, and a severe disruption in the global financial markets, deterioration in credit and financing conditions
or uncertainty regarding U.S. Government spending and deficit levels, European sovereign debt, Chinese economic slowdown or other global
economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further downgrades of the U.S. credit rating, impending automatic spending cuts or another government shutdown could negatively impact
our liquidity, financial condition and earnings.
Recent U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns have increased the possibility of additional credit-rating downgrades and economic
slowdowns, or a recession in the U.S. Although U.S. lawmakers passed legislation to raise the federal debt ceiling on multiple occasions, ratings
agencies have lowered or threatened to lower the long-term sovereign credit rating on the U.S. The impact of this or any further downgrades to the
U.S. government's sovereign credit rating or its perceived creditworthiness could adversely affect the U.S. and global financial markets and
economic conditions. Absent further quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve, these developments could cause interest rates and borrowing
costs to rise, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. In addition, disagreement over the federal
budget has caused the U.S. federal government to shut down for periods of time. Continued adverse political and economic conditions could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, including
our revenue growth and profitability.
The current worldwide financial market situation, as well as various social and political tensions in the U.S. and around the world, may
contribute to increased market volatility, may have long-term effects on the U.S. and worldwide financial markets, and may cause economic
uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. Since 2010, several European Union ("EU") countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy,
Spain, and Portugal, have faced budget issues, some of which may have negative long-term effects for the economies of those countries and other
EU countries. There is continued concern about national-level support for the Euro and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy
among European Economic and Monetary Union member countries. In addition, the fiscal policy of foreign nations, such as Russia and China, may
have a severe impact on the worldwide and U.S. financial markets. We cannot predict the effects of these or similar events in the future on the U.S.
economy and securities markets or on our investments. 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.
We may suffer credit losses.
Investments in small and middle market businesses are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk of credit loss. These risks are
likely to increase during volatile economic periods, such as the U.S. and many other economies have recently been experiencing.

We do not expect to replicate the Predecessor Entities' historical performance or the historical performance of other entities managed or
supported by New Mountain Capital.
We do not expect to replicate the Predecessor Entities' historical performance or the historical performance of New Mountain Capital's
investments. Our investment returns may be substantially lower than the returns achieved by the Predecessor Entities. Although the Predecessor
Entities commenced operations during otherwise unfavorable economic conditions, this was a favorable environment in which the Predecessor
Operating Company could conduct its business in light of its investment objectives and strategy. In addition, our investment strategies may differ
from those of New Mountain Capital or its affiliates. We, as a BDC and as a RIC, are subject to certain regulatory restrictions that do not apply to
New Mountain Capital or its affiliates.
We are generally not permitted to invest in any portfolio company in which New Mountain Capital or any of its affiliates currently have an
investment or to make any co-investments with New Mountain Capital or its affiliates, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. This may
adversely affect the pace at which we make investments. Moreover, we may operate with a different leverage profile than the Predecessor Entities.
Furthermore, none of the prior results from the Predecessor Entities were from public reporting companies, and all or a portion of these results were
achieved in particularly favorable market conditions for the Predecessor Operating Company's investment strategy which may never be repeated.
Finally, we can offer no assurance that our investment team will be able to continue to implement our investment objective with the same degree of
success as it has had in the past.
There is uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments because most of our investments are, and may continue to be in private
companies and recorded at fair value. In addition, the fair values of our investments are determined by our board of directors in accordance
with our valuation policy.
Some of our investments are and may be in the form of securities or loans that are not publicly traded. The fair value of these investments
may not be readily determinable. Under the 1940 Act, we are required to carry our portfolio investments at market value or, if there is no readily
available market value, at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, including to reflect significant events affecting the value
of our securities. We value our investments for which we do not have readily available market quotations quarterly, or more frequently as
circumstances require, at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors in accordance with our valuation policy, which is at all
times consistent with GAAP. See Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
or Note 4, Fair Value for additional information on valuations.
Our board of directors utilizes the services of one or more independent third-party valuation firms to aid it in determining the fair value with
respect to our material unquoted assets in accordance with our valuation policy. The inputs into the determination of fair value of these
investments may require significant management judgment or estimation. Even if observable market data is available, such information may be the
result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes, which include a disclaimer that the broker would not be held to such a price in an actual
transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimers materially reduces the reliability of such
information.
The types of factors that the board of directors takes into account in determining the fair value of our investments generally include, as
appropriate: available market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and
multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company's
ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows and the markets in which it does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer
companies that are public, comparable merger and acquisition transactions and the principal market and enterprise values. Since these valuations,
and particularly valuations of private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may
be based on estimates, our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these
securities existed.
Due to this uncertainty, our fair value determinations may cause our net asset value, on any given date, to be materially understated or
overstated. In addition, investors purchasing our common stock based on an overstated net asset value would pay a higher price than the realizable
value that our investments might warrant.
We may adjust quarterly the valuation of our portfolio to reflect our board of directors' determination of the fair value of each investment in
our portfolio. Any changes in fair value are recorded in our statement of operations as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

Our ability to achieve our investment objective depends on key investment personnel of the Investment Adviser. If the Investment Adviser were
to lose any of its key investment personnel, our ability to achieve our investment objective could be significantly harmed.
We depend on the investment judgment, skill and relationships of the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, particularly
Steven B. Klinsky and Robert A. Hamwee, as well as other key personnel to identify, evaluate, negotiate, structure, execute, monitor and service our
investments. The Investment Adviser, as an affiliate of New Mountain Capital, is supported by New Mountain Capital's team, which as of
December 31, 2015 consisted of approximately 100 staff members of New Mountain Capital and its affiliates to fulfill its obligations to us under the
Investment Management Agreement. The Investment Adviser may also depend upon New Mountain Capital to obtain access to investment
opportunities originated by the professionals of New Mountain Capital and its affiliates. Our future success depends to a significant extent on the
continued service and coordination of the key investment personnel of the Investment Adviser. The departure of any of these individuals could
have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our investment objective.
The Investment Committee, which provides oversight over our investment activities, is provided by the Investment Adviser. The
Investment Committee currently consists of five members. The loss of any member of the Investment Committee or of other senior professionals of
the Investment Adviser and its affiliates without suitable replacement could limit our ability to achieve our investment objective and operate as we
anticipate. This could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. To achieve our investment
objective, the Investment Adviser may hire, train, supervise and manage new investment professionals to participate in its investment selection and
monitoring process. If the Investment Adviser is unable to find investment professionals or do so in a timely manner, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The Investment Adviser has limited experience managing a BDC or a RIC, which could adversely affect our business.
Other than us, the Investment Adviser has not previously managed a BDC or a RIC. The 1940 Act and the Code impose numerous
constraints on the operations of BDCs and RICs that do not apply to the other investment vehicles previously managed by the investment
professionals of the Investment Adviser. For example, under the 1940 Act, BDCs are required to invest at least 70.0% of their total assets primarily
in securities of qualifying U.S. private or thinly traded companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high quality debt
investments that mature in one year or less. Moreover, qualification for taxation as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code requires satisfaction of
source-of-income, asset diversification and annual distribution requirements. The failure to comply with these provisions in a timely manner could
prevent us from qualifying as a BDC or as a RIC and could force us to pay unexpected taxes and penalties, which would have a material adverse
effect on our performance. The Investment Adviser's lack of experience in managing a portfolio of assets under the constraints applicable to BDCs
and RICs may hinder its ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and, as a result, achieve our investment objective. If we fail
to maintain our status as a BDC or as a RIC, our operating flexibility could be significantly reduced.
We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities and may not be able to compete effectively.
We compete for investments with other BDCs and investment funds (including private equity and hedge funds), as well as traditional
financial services companies such as commercial banks and other sources of funding. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have
considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. For example, some competitors may have a lower cost of capital and
access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk
assessments than us. Furthermore, many of our competitors have greater experience operating under, or are not subject to, the regulatory
restrictions that the 1940 Act imposes on us as a BDC or the source-of-income, asset diversification and distribution requirements that we must
satisfy to maintain our RIC status. These characteristics could allow our competitors to consider a wider variety of investments, establish more
relationships and offer better pricing and more flexible structuring than we are able to do.
We may lose investment opportunities if our pricing, terms and structure do not match those of our competitors. With respect to the
investments that we make, we do not seek to compete based primarily on the interest rates we may offer, and we believe that some of our
competitors may make loans with interest rates that may be lower than the rates we offer. In the secondary market for acquiring existing loans, we
expect to compete generally on the basis of pricing terms. If we match our competitors' pricing, terms and structure, we may experience decreased
net interest income, lower yields and increased risk of credit loss. If we are forced to match our competitors' pricing, terms and structure, we may not
be able to achieve acceptable returns on our investments or may bear substantial risk of capital loss. Part of our competitive advantage stems from
the fact that we believe the market for middle-market lending is underserved by traditional bank lenders and other financial sources. A significant
increase in the number and/or the size of our competitors in this target market could force us to accept less attractive investment terms. We may
also compete for investment opportunities with accounts managed by the Investment Adviser or its affiliates. Although the Investment Adviser
allocates opportunities in accordance with its policies and procedures, allocations to
25
Table of Contents
such other accounts reduces the amount and frequency of opportunities available to us and may not be in our best interests and, consequently, our
stockholders. Moreover, the performance of investment opportunities is not known at the time of allocation. If we are not able to compete
effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected, thus affecting our business, financial condition
and results of operations. Because of this competition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify and take advantage of attractive
investment opportunities that we identify or that we will be able to fully invest our available capital.
Our business, results of operations and financial condition depend on our ability to manage future growth effectively.
Our ability to achieve our investment objective and to grow depends on the 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 Investment Adviser’s
structuring of the investment process, its ability to provide competent, attentive and efficient services to us and its ability to access financing on
acceptable terms. The Investment Adviser has substantial responsibilities under the Investment Management Agreement and may also be called
upon to provide managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. These demands on the time of the Investment Adviser and its investment
professionals may distract them or slow our rate of investment. In order to grow, we and the Investment Adviser may need to retain, train, supervise
and manage new investment professionals. However, these investment professionals may not be able to contribute effectively to the work of the
Investment Adviser. If we are unable to manage our future growth effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be
materially adversely affected.
The incentive fee may induce the Investment Adviser to make speculative investments.
The incentive fee payable to the Investment Adviser may create an incentive for the Investment Adviser to pursue investments that are
risky or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangement, which could result in higher investment losses,
particularly during cyclical economic downturns. The incentive fee payable to the Investment Adviser is calculated based on a percentage of our
return on investment capital. This may encourage the Investment Adviser to use leverage to increase the return on our investments. In addition,
because the base management fee is payable based upon our gross assets, which includes any borrowings for investment purposes, but excludes
borrowings under the SLF Credit Facility and cash and cash equivalents for investment purposes, the Investment Adviser may be further
encouraged to use leverage to make additional investments. Under certain circumstances, the use of leverage may increase the likelihood of default,
which would impair the value of our common stock.
The incentive fee payable to the Investment Adviser also may create an incentive for the Investment Adviser to invest in instruments that
have a deferred interest feature, even if such deferred payments would not provide the cash necessary to pay current distributions to our
stockholders. Under these investments, we would accrue the interest over the life of the investment but would not receive the cash income from the
investment until the end of the investment’s term, if at all. Our net investment income used to calculate the income portion of the incentive fee,
however, includes accrued interest. Thus, a portion of the incentive fee would be based on income that we have not yet received in cash and may
never receive in cash if the portfolio company is unable to satisfy such interest payment obligations. In addition, the “catch-up” portion of the
incentive fee may encourage the Investment Adviser to accelerate or defer interest payable by portfolio companies from one calendar quarter to
another, potentially resulting in fluctuations in timing and dividend amounts.
We may be obligated to pay the Investment Adviser incentive compensation even if we incur a loss.
The Investment Adviser is entitled to incentive compensation for each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to a percentage of the excess of
our Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income for that quarter (before deducting incentive compensation) above a performance threshold
for that quarter. Accordingly, since the performance threshold is based on a percentage of our net asset value, decreases in our net asset value
make it easier to achieve the performance threshold. Our Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income for incentive compensation purposes
excludes realized and unrealized capital losses or depreciation that it may incur in the fiscal quarter, even if such capital losses or depreciation result
in a net loss on our statement of operations for that quarter. Thus, we may be required to pay the Investment Adviser incentive compensation for a
fiscal quarter even if there is a decline in the value of our portfolio or we incur a net loss for that quarter.
The incentive fee we pay to the Investment Adviser with respect to capital gains may be effectively greater than 20.0%.
As a result of the operation of the cumulative method of calculating the capital gains portion of the incentive fee we pay to the Investment
Adviser, the cumulative aggregate capital gains fee received by the Investment Adviser could be effectively greater than 20.0%, depending on the
timing and extent of subsequent net realized capital losses or net unrealized
26

depreciation. We cannot predict whether, or to what extent, this payment calculation would affect your investment in our common stock.
We borrow money, which could magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested in us and increase the risk of investing in us.
We borrow money as part of our business plan. Borrowings, also known as leverage, magnify the potential for gain or loss on invested
equity capital and may, consequently, increase the risk of investing in us. We expect to continue to use leverage to finance our investments,
through senior securities issued by banks and other lenders. Lenders of these senior securities have fixed dollar claims on our assets that are
superior to claims of our common stockholders. If the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would cause our net asset value to decline more
sharply than it otherwise would have had it not leveraged. Similarly, any decrease in our income would cause our net income to decline more
sharply than it would have had it not borrowed. Such a decline could adversely affect our ability to make common stock dividend payments. In
addition, because our investments may be illiquid, we may be unable to dispose of them or to do so at a favorable price in the event we need to do
so if we are unable to refinance any indebtedness upon maturity and, as a result, we may suffer losses. Leverage is generally considered a
speculative investment technique.
Our ability to service any debt that we incur depends largely on our financial performance and is subject to prevailing economic conditions
and competitive pressures. Moreover, as the Investment Adviser’s management fee is payable to the Investment Adviser based on gross assets,
including those assets acquired through the use of leverage, the Investment Adviser may have a financial incentive to incur leverage which may
not be consistent with our interests and the interests of our common stockholders. In addition, holders of our common stock will, indirectly, bear
the burden of any increase in our expenses as a result of leverage, including any increase in the management fee payable to the Investment Adviser.
At December 31, 2015, we had $419.3 million, $90.0 million, $115.0 million and $117.7 million of indebtedness outstanding under the
Holdings Credit Facility, the NMFC Credit Facility, the Convertible Notes and the SBA-guaranteed debentures, respectively. The Holdings Credit
Facility had a weighted average interest rate of 2.6% for the year ended December 31, 2015, the NMFC Credit Facility had a weighted average
interest rate of 2.7% for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the SBA-guaranteed debentures had a weighted average interest rate of 2.4% for the
year ended December 31, 2015. The interest rate on the Convertible Notes is 5.0% per annum.
If we are unable to comply with the covenants or restrictions in our borrowings, our business could be materially adversely affected.
The Holdings Credit Facility includes covenants that, subject to exceptions, restrict our ability to pay distributions, create liens on assets,
make investments, make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. The Holdings Credit Facility also includes a change of control
provision that accelerates the indebtedness under the facility in the event of certain change of control events. Complying with these restrictions
may prevent us from taking actions that we believe would help us grow our business or are otherwise consistent with our investment objective.
These restrictions could also limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions or meet extraordinary capital needs or otherwise restrict
corporate activities. In addition, the restrictions contained in the Holdings Credit Facility could limit our ability to make distributions to our
stockholders in certain circumstances, which could result in us failing to qualify as a RIC and thus becoming subject to corporate-level U.S. federal
income tax (and any applicable state and local taxes).
The NMFC Credit Facility includes customary covenants, including certain financial covenants related to asset coverage and liquidity and
other maintenance covenants, as well as customary events of default.
Our Convertible Notes are subject to certain covenants, including covenants requiring us to provide financial information to the holders of
the Convertible Notes and the trustee if we cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. These covenants are subject to
limitations and exceptions.
The breach of any of the covenants or restrictions, unless cured within the applicable grace period, would result in a default under the
applicable credit facility that would permit the lenders thereunder to declare all amounts outstanding to be due and payable. In such an event, we
may not have sufficient assets to repay such indebtedness. As a result, any default could have serious consequences to our financial condition.
An event of default or an acceleration under the credit facilities could also cause a cross-default or cross-acceleration of another debt instrument or
contractual obligation, which would adversely impact our liquidity. We may not be granted waivers or amendments to the credit facilities if for any
reason we are unable to comply with it, and we may not be able to refinance the credit facilities on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

We may enter into reverse repurchase agreements, which are another form of leverage.
We may enter into reverse repurchase agreements as part of our management of our investment portfolio. Under a reverse repurchase
agreement, we will effectively pledge our assets as collateral to secure a short-term loan. Generally, the other party to the agreement makes the loan
in an amount equal to a percentage of the fair value of the pledged collateral. At the maturity of the reverse repurchase agreement, the payor will be
required to repay the loan and correspondingly receive back its collateral. While used as collateral, the assets continue to pay principal and interest
which are for our benefit.
Our use of reverse repurchase agreements, if any, involves many of the same risks involved in our use of leverage, as the proceeds from
reverse repurchase agreements generally will be invested in additional securities. There is a risk that the market value of the securities acquired with
the proceeds of a reverse repurchase agreement may decline below the price of the securities that we have sold but remain obligated to repurchase
under the reverse repurchase agreement. In addition, there is a risk that the market value of the securities effectively pledged by us may decline. If a
buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement were to file for bankruptcy or experience insolvency, we may be adversely affected. Also,
in entering into reverse repurchase agreements, we would bear the risk of loss to the extent that the proceeds of such agreements at settlement are
more than the fair value of the underlying securities being pledged. In addition, due to the interest costs associated with reverse repurchase
agreements transactions, our net asset value would decline, and, in some cases, we may be worse off than if such instruments had not been used.
If we are unable to obtain additional debt financing, or if our borrowing capacity is materially reduced, our business could be materially
adversely affected.
We may want to obtain additional debt financing, or need to do so upon maturity of our credit facilities, in order to obtain funds which may
be made available for investments. The revolving period under the Holdings Credit Facility ends on December 18, 2017, and the Holdings Credit
Facility matures on December 18, 2019. The NMFC Credit Facility and the Convertible Notes mature on June 4, 2019 and June 15, 2019, respectively.
The SBA-guaranteed debentures have ten year maturities and will begin to mature on March 1, 2025. If we are unable to increase, renew or replace
any such facilities and enter into new debt financing facilities or other debt financing on commercially reasonable terms, our liquidity may be
reduced significantly. In addition, if we are unable to repay amounts outstanding under any such facilities and are declared in default or are unable
to renew or refinance these facilities, we may not be able to make new investments or operate our business in the normal course. These situations
may arise due to circumstances that we may be unable to control, such as lack of access to the credit markets, a severe decline in the value of the
U.S. dollar, a further economic downturn or an operational problem that affects us or third parties, and could materially damage our business
operations, results of operations and financial condition.
We may need to raise additional capital to grow.
We may need additional capital to fund new investments and grow. We may access the capital markets periodically to issue equity
securities. In addition, we may also issue debt securities or borrow from financial institutions in order to obtain such additional capital. Unfavorable
economic conditions could increase our funding costs and limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend
credit to us. A reduction in the availability of new capital could limit our ability to grow. In addition, we are required to distribute at least 90.0% of
our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to our stockholders to maintain our RIC
status. As a result, these earnings will not be available to fund new investments. If we are unable to access the capital markets or if we are unable to
borrow from financial institutions, we may be unable to grow our business and execute our business strategy fully, and our earnings, if any, could
decrease, which could have an adverse effect on the value of our securities.
A renewed disruption in the capital markets and the credit markets could adversely affect our business.
As a BDC, we must maintain our ability to raise additional capital for investment purposes. If we are unable to access the capital markets or
credit markets, we may be forced to curtail our business operations and may be unable to pursue new investment opportunities. The capital markets
and the credit markets have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods, and, as a result, there have been and will likely continue to be
uncertainty in the financial markets in general. Disruptions in the capital markets in recent years increased the spread between the yields realized on
risk-free and higher risk securities, resulting in illiquidity in parts of the capital markets. In addition, a prolonged period of market illiquidity may
cause us to reduce the volume of loans that we originate and/or fund and adversely affect the value of our portfolio investments. Unfavorable
economic conditions could also 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 limit our investment originations, limit our ability to grow and negatively impact our operating results. Ongoing
disruptive conditions in the financial industry and the impact of new legislation in
28
Table of Contents
response to those conditions could restrict our business operations and, consequently, could adversely impact our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
If the fair value of our assets declines substantially, we may fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios imposed upon us by the 1940 Act
and contained in the Holdings Credit Facility and NMFC Credit Facility. Any such failure would affect our ability to issue senior securities, borrow
under the Holdings Credit Facility and NMFC Credit Facility and pay distributions, which could materially impair our business operations. Our
liquidity could be impaired further by our inability to access the capital or credit markets. For example, we cannot be certain that we will be able to
renew our credit facilities as they mature or to consummate new borrowing facilities to provide capital for normal operations, including new
originations, or reapply for SBIC licenses. In recent years, reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets, many lenders and
institutional investors have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers. This market turmoil and tightening of credit have led to increased
market volatility and widespread reduction of business activity generally in recent years. In addition, adverse economic conditions due to these
disruptive conditions could materially impact our ability to comply with the financial and other covenants in any existing or future credit facilities. If
we are unable to comply with these covenants, this could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and net investment income.
To the extent we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income depends, in part, upon the difference between the rate at
which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, a significant change in market interest rates may have a material
adverse effect on our net investment income in the event we use debt to finance our investments. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of
funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income. We may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit our
exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These techniques may include various interest rate hedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.
SBIC LP is licensed by the SBA and is subject to SBA regulations.
On August 1, 2014, our wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiary, SBIC LP, received its license to operate as an SBIC under the 1958
Act and is regulated by the SBA. The SBA places certain limitations on the financing terms of investments by SBICs in portfolio companies,
regulates the types of financings, prohibits investing in small businesses with certain characteristics or in certain industries and requires
capitalization thresholds that limit distributions to us. Compliance with SBIC requirements may cause SBIC LP to invest at less competitive rates in
order to find investments that qualify under the SBA regulations.
The SBA regulations require, among other things, an annual periodic examination of a licensed SBIC by an SBA examiner to determine the
SBIC's compliance with the relevant SBA regulations, and the performance of a financial audit by an independent auditor. If SBIC LP fails to comply
with applicable regulations, the SBA could, depending on the severity of the violation, limit or prohibit SBIC LP's use of the debentures, declare
outstanding debentures immediately due and payable, and/or limit SBIC LP from making new investments. In addition, the SBA could revoke or
suspend SBIC LP's license for willful or repeated violation of, or willful or repeated failure to observe, any provision of the 1958 Act or any rule or
regulation promulgated thereunder. These actions by the SBA would, in turn, negatively affect us because SBIC LP is our wholly-owned direct and
indirect subsidiary.
SBA-guaranteed debentures are non-recourse to us, have a ten year maturity, and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Pooling of
issued SBA-guaranteed debentures occurs in March and September of each year. The interest rate of SBA-guaranteed debentures is fixed at the
time of pooling at a market-driven spread over ten year U.S. Treasury Notes. The interest rate on debentures issued prior to the next pooling date is
LIBOR plus 30 basis points. Leverage through SBA-guaranteed debentures is subject to required capitalization thresholds. Current SBA regulations
limit the amount that any single SBIC may borrow to two tiers of leverage capped at $150.0 million, where each tier is equivalent to the SBIC's
regulatory capital, which generally equates to the amount of equity capital in the SBIC. In December 2015, the 2016 omnibus spending bill approved
by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by the President increased the amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures that affiliated SBIC funds can have
outstanding from $225.0 million to $350.0 million, subject to SBA approval.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR OPERATIONS
Because we intend to distribute substantially all of our income to our stockholders to obtain and maintain our status as a RIC, we will continue
to need additional capital to finance our growth. If additional funds are unavailable or not available on favorable terms, our ability to grow
may be impaired.
In order for us to qualify for the tax benefits available to RICs and to avoid payment of excise taxes, we intend to distribute to our
stockholders substantially all of our annual taxable income. As a result of these requirements, we may need to raise capital from other sources to
grow our business.
As a BDC, we are required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets, less liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities
and excluding SBA-guaranteed debentures as permitted by exemptive relief obtained from the SEC, to total senior securities, which includes all of
our borrowings with the exception of SBA-guaranteed debentures, of at least 200.0%. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. Since
we continue to need capital to grow our investment portfolio, these limitations may prevent us from incurring debt and require us to raise additional
equity at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. While we expect that we will be able to borrow and to issue additional debt securities and
expect that we will be able to issue additional equity securities, which would in turn increase the equity capital available to us, we cannot assure
you that debt and equity financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, as a BDC, we generally are not permitted to issue
equity securities priced below net asset value without stockholder approval. If additional funds are not available us, we may be forced to curtail or
cease new investment activities, and our net asset value could decline.
SBIC LP may be unable to make distributions to us that will enable us to meet or maintain our RIC status.
In order for us to continue to qualify for tax benefits available to RICs and to minimize corporate-level U.S. federal income tax, we must
distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90.0% of our “investment company taxable income”, which is generally our net ordinary
income plus the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses, including investment company taxable
income from SBIC LP. We will be partially dependent on SBIC LP for cash distributions to enable us to meet the RIC distribution requirements.
SBIC LP may be limited by SBA regulations governing SBICs from making certain distributions to us that may be necessary to maintain our status
as a RIC. We may have to request a waiver of the SBA’s restrictions for SBIC LP to make certain distributions to maintain our RIC status. We
cannot assure you that the SBA will grant such waiver and if SBIC LP is unable to obtain a waiver, compliance with the SBA regulations may result
in corporate-level U.S. federal income tax.
Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates is restricted.
As a BDC, we are prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of
our independent directors and, in some cases, the SEC. Any person that owns, directly or indirectly, 5.0% or more of our outstanding voting
securities is an affiliate of ours for purposes of the 1940 Act. We are generally prohibited from buying or selling any securities (other than our
securities) from or to an affiliate. The 1940 Act also prohibits certain “joint” transactions with an affiliate, which could include investments in the
same portfolio company (whether at the same or different times), without prior approval of independent directors and, in some cases, the SEC. If a
person acquires more than 25.0% of our voting securities, we are prohibited from buying or selling any security (other than our securities) from or to
such person or certain of that person’s affiliates, or entering into prohibited joint transactions with such persons, absent the prior approval of the
SEC. Similar restrictions limit our ability to transact business with our officers or directors or their affiliates. As a result of these restrictions, we may
be prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to any portfolio company of a private equity fund managed by any affiliate of the
Investment Adviser without the prior approval of the SEC, which may limit the scope of investment opportunities that would otherwise be available
to us.
The Investment Adviser has significant potential conflicts of interest with us and, consequently, your interests as stockholders which could
adversely impact our investment returns.
Our executive officers and directors, as well as the current or future investment professionals of the Investment Adviser, serve or may
serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same or a related line of business as we do or of investment funds managed by
our affiliates. Accordingly, they may have obligations to investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which might not be in your interests as
stockholders. Although we are currently New Mountain Capital’s only vehicle focused primarily on investing in the investments that we target, in
the future, the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser and/or New Mountain Capital employees that provide services pursuant to the
Investment Management Agreement may manage other funds which may from time to time have overlapping investment objectives with our own
and, accordingly, may invest in, whether principally or secondarily, asset classes similar to those targeted by us. If this occurs, the

Investment Adviser may face conflicts of interest in allocating investment opportunities to us and such other funds. Although the investment
professionals endeavor to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, it is possible that we may not be given the opportunity
to participate in certain investments made by the Investment Adviser or persons affiliated with the Investment Adviser or that certain of these
investment funds may be favored over us. When these investment professionals identify an investment, they may be forced to choose which
investment fund should make the investment.
If the Investment Adviser forms other affiliates in the future, we may co-invest on a concurrent basis with such other affiliate, subject to
compliance with applicable regulations and regulatory guidance or an exemptive order from the SEC and our allocation procedures. In addition, we
pay management and incentive fees to the Investment Adviser and reimburse the Investment Adviser for certain expenses it incurs. As a result,
investors in our common stock invest in us on a “gross” basis and receive distributions on a “net” basis after our expenses. Also, the incentive fee
payable to the Investment Adviser may create an incentive for the Investment Adviser to pursue investments that are riskier or more speculative
than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangements. Any potential conflict of interest arising as a result of the arrangements
with the Investment Adviser could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Investment Committee, the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may, from time to time, possess material non-public information, limiting
our investment discretion.
The Investment Adviser’s investment professionals, Investment Committee or their respective affiliates may serve as directors of, or in a
similar capacity with, companies in which we invest. In the event that material non-public information is obtained with respect to such companies, or
we become subject to trading restrictions under the internal trading policies of those companies or as a result of applicable law or regulations, we
could be prohibited for a period of time from purchasing or selling the securities of such companies, and this prohibition may have an adverse effect
on us and our stockholders.
The valuation process for certain of our portfolio holdings creates a conflict of interest.
Some of our portfolio investments are made in the form of securities that are not publicly traded. As a result, our board of directors
determines the fair value of these securities in good faith. In connection with this determination, investment professionals from the Investment
Adviser may provide our board of directors with portfolio company valuations based upon the most recent portfolio company financial statements
available and projected financial results of each portfolio company. In addition, Steven B. Klinsky, a member of our board of directors, has an
indirect pecuniary interest in the Investment Adviser. The participation of the Investment Adviser’s investment professionals in our valuation
process, and the indirect pecuniary interest in the Investment Adviser by a member of our board of directors, could result in a conflict of interest as
the Investment Adviser’s management fee is based, in part, on our gross assets and incentive fees are based, in part, on unrealized gains and
losses.
Conflicts of interest may exist related to other arrangements with the Investment Adviser or its affiliates.
We have entered into a royalty-free license agreement with New Mountain Capital under which New Mountain Capital has agreed to grant
us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “New Mountain”. In addition, we reimburse the Administrator for the allocable portion of
overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations to us under the Administration Agreement, such as, but
not limited to, the allocable portion of the cost of our chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. This could create
conflicts of interest that our board of directors must monitor.
The Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Adviser and the Administration Agreement with the Administrator were not
negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
The Investment Management Agreement and the Administration Agreement were negotiated between related parties. In addition, we may
choose not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our respective rights and remedies under these agreements because of our desire to maintain
our ongoing relationship with the Investment Adviser, the Administrator and their respective affiliates. Any such decision, however, could cause
us to breach our fiduciary obligations to our stockholders.

The Investment Adviser’s liability is limited under the Investment Management Agreement, and we have agreed to indemnify the Investment
Adviser against certain liabilities, which may lead the Investment Adviser to act in a riskier manner than it would when acting for its own
account.
Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser does not assume any responsibility other than to render the
services called for under that agreement, and it is not responsible for any action of our board of directors in following or declining to follow the
Investment Adviser’s advice or recommendations. Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser, its officers,
members, personnel, any person controlling or controlled by the Investment Adviser are not liable for acts or omissions performed in accordance
with and pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, except those resulting from acts constituting gross negligence, willful misconduct,
bad faith or reckless disregard of the Investment Adviser’s duties under the Investment Management Agreement. In addition, we have agreed to
indemnify the Investment Adviser and each of its officers, directors, members, managers and employees from and against any claims or liabilities,
including reasonable legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred, arising out of or in connection with our business and operations or any
action taken or omitted pursuant to authority granted by the Investment Management Agreement, except where attributable to gross negligence,
willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of such person’s duties under the Investment Management Agreement. These protections may
lead the Investment Adviser to act in a riskier manner than it would when acting for its own account.
The Investment Adviser can resign upon 60 days’ notice, and a suitable replacement may not be found within that time, resulting in disruptions
in our operations that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser has the right to resign at any time upon 60 days’ written notice,
whether a replacement has been found or not. If the Investment Adviser resigns, we may not be able to find a new investment adviser or hire
internal management with similar expertise and ability to provide the same or equivalent services on acceptable terms within 60 days, or at all. If a
replacement is not able to be found on a timely basis, our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to pay distributions
are likely to be materially adversely affected and the market price of our common stock may decline. In addition, if we are unable to identify and
reach an agreement with a single institution or group of executives having the expertise possessed by the Investment Adviser and its affiliates, the
coordination of its internal management and investment activities is likely to suffer. Even if we are able to retain comparable management, whether
internal or external, their integration into our business and lack of familiarity with our investment objective may result in additional costs and time
delays that may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Administrator can resign upon 60 days’ notice from its role as Administrator under the Administration Agreement, and a suitable
replacement may not be found, resulting in disruptions that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Administrator has the right to resign under the Administration Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice, whether a replacement has
been found or not. If the Administrator resigns, it may be difficult to find a new administrator or hire internal management with similar expertise and
ability to provide the same or equivalent services on acceptable terms, or at all. If a replacement is not found quickly, our business, results of
operations and financial condition, as well as our ability to pay distributions, are likely to be adversely affected, and the market price of our common
stock may decline. In addition, the coordination of our internal management and administrative activities is likely to suffer if we are unable to
identify and reach an agreement with a service provider or individuals with the expertise possessed by the Administrator. Even if a comparable
service provider or individuals to perform such services are retained, whether internal or external, their integration into our business and lack of
familiarity with our investment objective may result in additional costs and time delays that may materially adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
If we fail to maintain our status as a BDC, our business and operating flexibility could be significantly reduced.
We qualify as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act imposes numerous constraints on the operations of BDCs. For example, BDCs are
required to invest at least 70.0% of their total assets in specified types of securities, primarily in private companies or thinly-traded U.S. public
companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. Failure to
comply with the requirements imposed on BDCs by the 1940 Act could cause the SEC to bring an enforcement action against us and/or expose us
to claims of private litigants. In addition, upon approval of a majority of our stockholders, we may elect to withdraw their respective election as a
BDC. If we decide to withdraw our election, or if we otherwise fail to qualify, or maintain our qualification, as a BDC, we may be subject to
substantially greater regulation under the 1940 Act as a closed-end investment company. Compliance with these regulations would significantly
decrease our operating flexibility and could significantly increase our cost of doing business.
32
Table of Contents
If we do not invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets, we could be precluded from investing in certain assets or could be
required to dispose of certain assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a BDC, we are prohibited from acquiring any assets other than “qualifying assets” unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such
acquisition, at least 70.0% of our total assets are qualifying assets. We may acquire in the future other investments that are not “qualifying assets”
to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. If we do not invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets, we would be prohibited from
investing in additional assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Similarly,
these rules could prevent us from making follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies (which could result in the dilution of our position)
or could require us to dispose of investments at inopportune times in order to come into compliance with the 1940 Act. If we need to dispose of
these investments quickly, it may be difficult to dispose of such investments on favorable terms. For example, we may have difficulty in finding a
buyer and, even if a buyer is found, it may have to sell the investments at a substantial loss.
Our ability to invest in public companies may be limited in certain circumstances.
To maintain our status as a BDC, we are not permitted to acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act
unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70.0% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Subject to certain
exceptions for follow-on investments and distressed companies, an investment in an issuer that has outstanding securities listed on a national
securities exchange may be treated as qualifying assets only if such issuer has a common equity market capitalization that is less than $250.0 million
at the time of such investment.
Regulations governing the operations of BDCs will affect our ability to raise additional equity capital as well as our ability to issue senior
securities or borrow for investment purposes, any or all of which could have a negative effect on our investment objectives and strategies.
Our business requires a substantial amount of capital. We may acquire additional capital from the issuance of senior securities, including
borrowing under a credit facility or other indebtedness. In addition, we may also issue additional equity capital, which would in turn increase the
equity capital available to us. However, we may not be able to raise additional capital in the future on favorable terms or at all.
We may issue debt securities, preferred stock, and we may borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, which we refer to
collectively as "senior securities", up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act permits us to issue senior securities in
amounts such that our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200.0% after each issuance of senior securities. As a result of our
SEC exemptive relief, we are permitted to exclude our SBA-guaranteed debentures from the definition of senior securities in the 200.0% asset
coverage ratio we are required to maintain under the 1940 Act. If our asset coverage ratio is not at least 200.0%, we would be unable to issue senior
securities, and if we had senior securities outstanding (other than any indebtedness issued in consideration of a privately arranged loan, such as
any indebtedness outstanding under the Holdings Credit Facility and NMFC Credit Facility), we would be unable to make distributions to our
stockholders. However, at December 31, 2015, our only senior securities outstanding were indebtedness under the Holdings Credit Facility, NMFC
Credit Facility and Convertible Notes and therefore at December 31, 2015, we would not have been precluded from paying distributions. If the value
of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test. If that happens, we may be required to liquidate a portion of our investments and repay
a portion of our indebtedness at a time when such sales may be disadvantageous.
The Holdings Credit Facility matures on December 18, 2019 and permits borrowings of $495.0 million as of December 31, 2015. The
Holdings Credit Facility had $419.3 million in debt outstanding as of December 31, 2015. The NMFC Credit Facility matures on June 4, 2019 and
permits borrowings of $95.0 million as of December 31, 2015. The NMFC Credit Facility had $90.0 million in debt outstanding as of December 31,
2015. The Convertible Notes mature on June 15, 2019. The Convertible Notes had $115.0 million in debt outstanding as of December 31, 2015. The
SBA-guaranteed debentures have ten year maturities and will begin to mature on March 1, 2025. As of December 31, 2015, $117.7 million of SBA-
guaranteed debentures were outstanding.
In addition, we may in the future seek to securitize other portfolio securities to generate cash for funding new investments. To securitize
loans, we would likely create a wholly-owned subsidiary and contribute a pool of loans to the subsidiary. We would then sell interests in the
subsidiary on a non-recourse basis to purchasers and we would retain all or a portion of the equity in the subsidiary. If we are unable to
successfully securitize its loan portfolio, which must be done in compliance with the relevant restrictions in the Holdings Credit Facility, our ability
to grow our business or fully execute our business strategy could be impaired and our earnings, if any, could decrease. The securitization market is
subject to changing market conditions, and we may not be able to access this market when it would otherwise be deemed appropriate. Moreover,
the successful securitization of our portfolio might expose us to losses as the residual investments in which we do not sell
33
Table of Contents
interests will tend to be those that are riskier and more apt to generate losses. The 1940 Act also may impose restrictions on the structure of any
securitization.
We may also obtain capital through the issuance of additional equity capital. As a BDC, we generally are not able to issue or sell our
common stock at a price below net asset value per share. If our common stock trades at a discount to our net asset value per share, this restriction
could adversely affect our ability to raise equity capital. We may, however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our
common stock, at a price below our net asset value per share of the common stock if our board of directors and independent directors determine
that such sale is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, and our stockholders approve such sale. In any such case, the
price at which our securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price that, in the determination of our board of directors, closely
approximates the market value of such securities (less any underwriting commission or discount). If we raise additional funds by issuing more
shares of our common stock, or if we issue senior securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common stock, the percentage ownership of
our stockholders may decline and you may experience dilution.
Our business model in the future may depend to an extent upon our referral relationships with private equity sponsors, and the inability of the
investment professionals of the Investment Adviser to maintain or develop these relationships, or the failure of these relationships to generate
investment opportunities, could adversely affect our business strategy.
If the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser fail to maintain existing relationships or develop new relationships with other
sponsors or sources of investment opportunities, we may not be able to grow our investment portfolio. In addition, individuals with whom the
investment professionals of the Investment Adviser have relationships are not obligated to provide us with investment opportunities, and,
therefore, there is no assurance that any relationships they currently or may in the future have will generate investment opportunities for us.
We may experience fluctuations in our annual and quarterly results due to the nature of our business.
We could experience fluctuations in our annual and quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our
control, including the ability or inability of us to make investments in companies that meet our investment criteria, the interest rate payable on the
debt securities acquired and the default rate on such securities, the level of our expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized
and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which we encounter competition in the markets in which we operate 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.
Our board of directors may change our investment objective, operating policies and strategies without prior notice or stockholder approval,
the effects of which may be adverse to your interests as stockholders.
Our board of directors has the authority, except as otherwise provided in the 1940 Act, to modify or waive certain of our operating policies
and strategies without prior notice and without stockholder approval. As a result, our board of directors may be able to change our investment
policies and objectives without any input from our stockholders. 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. Under Delaware law, we also cannot be dissolved without prior stockholder
approval. We cannot predict the effect any changes to our current operating policies and strategies would have on our business, operating results
and the market price of our common stock. Nevertheless, any such changes could adversely affect our business and impair our ability to make
distributions to our stockholders.
We will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax on all of our income if we are unable to maintain RIC status under Subchapter M
of the Code, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.
Although we intend to continue to qualify annually as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, no assurance can be given that we will be
able to maintain our 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 be satisfied if we distribute (or are deemed to distribute) to our stockholders on an
annual basis at least 90.0% of our net ordinary income plus the excess of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-
term capital losses, if any. Because we use debt financing, we are subject to an asset coverage ratio requirement under the 1940 Act,
and we are subject to certain financial covenants contained in the Holdings Credit Facility and other debt financing agreements (as
applicable). This asset coverage ratio requirement and these financial covenants could, under certain circumstances, restrict us from
making distributions to our stockholders, which distributions are necessary for us to satisfy the distribution requirement. If
34
Table of Contents
we are unable to obtain cash from other sources, and thus are unable to make sufficient distributions to our stockholders, we could fail
to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to certain corporate-level U.S. federal income tax (and any applicable state
and local taxes).
•
•
The source-of-income requirement will be satisfied if at least 90.0% of our allocable share of our gross income for each year is derived
from dividends, interest payments with respect to loans of certain securities, gains from the sale of stock or other securities, net
income from certain “qualified publicly traded partnerships” or other income derived with respect to our business of investing in such
stock or securities.
The asset diversification requirement will be satisfied if we meet certain asset diversification requirements at the end of each quarter of
our taxable year. To satisfy this requirement, at least 50.0% of the value of our assets must consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S.
government securities, securities of other RICs, and other such securities if such other securities of any one issuer do not represent
more than 5.0% of the value of our assets or more than 10.0% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer; and no more than
25.0% of the value of our assets can be invested in the securities, other than U.S. government securities or securities of other RICs, of
one issuer, of two or more issuers that are controlled, as determined under applicable Code rules, by it 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 us having to dispose of certain investments quickly in order to prevent the loss of our RIC status. Because most of our
investments are intended to be in private companies, and therefore may be relatively illiquid, any such dispositions could be made at
disadvantageous prices and could result in substantial losses.
If we fail to qualify for or maintain 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 state and local taxes). In this event, the resulting taxes could
substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions, which would have a
material adverse effect on our financial performance.
You may have current tax liabilities on distributions you reinvest in our common stock.
Under the dividend reinvestment plan, if you own shares of our common stock registered in your own name, you will have all cash
distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock unless you opt out of the dividend reinvestment plan by delivering
notice by phone, internet or in writing to the plan administrator at least three days prior to the payment date of the next dividend or distribution. If
you have not “opted out” of the dividend reinvestment plan, you will be deemed to have received, and for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be
taxed on, the amount reinvested in our common stock to the extent the amount reinvested was not a tax-free return of capital. As a result, you may
have to use funds from other sources to pay your U.S. federal income tax liability on the value of the common stock received.
We may not be able to pay you distributions on our common 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 continue to 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 the Holdings
Credit Facility and the NMFC Credit Facility, our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders could be limited. All distributions are paid at the
discretion of our board of directors and depend on our earnings, financial condition, maintenance of our RIC status, compliance with applicable
BDC regulations, compliance with covenants under the Holdings Credit Facility and the NMFC Credit Facility, and such other factors as our board
of directors may deem relevant from time to time. The distributions that we pay to our stockholders in a year may exceed our taxable income for that
year and, accordingly, a portion of such distributions may constitute a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
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 include in our taxable income our allocable share of certain amounts that we have not yet received
in cash, such as original issue discount 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 payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, which generally represents
contractual interest added to the loan balance and due at the end of the loan term. Our allocable share of such original issue discount and PIK
interest are included in our taxable income before
35
Table of Contents
we receive any corresponding cash payments. We also may be required to include in our taxable income our allocable share of certain other
amounts that we will not receive in cash.
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
qualify 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
enable us 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 state and local taxes).
Changes in laws or regulations governing our operations may adversely affect our business or cause us to alter our business strategy.
Changes in the laws or regulations or the interpretations of the laws and regulations that govern BDCs, RICs or non-depository
commercial lenders could significantly affect our operations and our cost of doing business. Our portfolio companies are subject to U.S. federal,
state and local laws and regulations. New legislation may be enacted or new interpretations, rulings or regulations could be adopted, any of which
could materially adversely affect our business, including with respect to the types of investments we are permitted to make, and your interests as
stockholders potentially with retroactive effect. In addition, any changes to the laws and regulations governing our operations relating to permitted
investments may cause us to alter our investment strategy in order to avail ourselves of new or different opportunities. These changes could result
in material changes to our strategies which may result in our investment focus shifting from the areas of expertise of the Investment Adviser to
other types of investments in which the Investment Adviser may have less expertise or little or no experience. Any such changes, if they occur,
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and, consequently, the value of your investment
in us.
On July 21, 2010, the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or Dodd-Frank Act, was signed into law. Although passage of the
Dodd-Frank Act has resulted in extensive rulemaking and regulatory changes that affect us and the financial industry as a whole, many of its
provisions remain subject to extended implementation periods and delayed effective dates and will require extensive 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 future rules implementing its provisions and the interpretation of those rules, along with other legislative and regulatory
proposals directed at the financial services industry or affecting taxation that are proposed or pending in the U.S. Congress, may negatively impact
our or our portfolio companies’ operations, cash flows or financial condition, impose additional costs on us or our portfolio companies, intensify
the regulatory supervision of us or our portfolio companies or otherwise adversely affect our business or the business of our portfolio companies.
Over the last several years, there 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 these regulations will be implemented or what form they 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.
Our business and operation could be negatively affected if we become subject to any securities litigation or shareholder activism, which could
cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of investment strategy and impact our stock price.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been
brought against that company. Shareholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing in the BDC
space recently. While we are currently not subject to any securities litigation or shareholder activism, due to the potential volatility of our stock
price and for a variety of other reasons, we may in the future become the target of securities litigation or shareholder activism. Securities litigation
and shareholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs and divert management’s and our board of directors’
attention and resources from our business. Additionally, such securities litigation and shareholder activism could give rise to perceived
uncertainties as to our future, adversely affect our relationships with service providers and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified
personnel. Also, we may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any securities litigation and activist shareholder
matters. Further, our stock price could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties
of any securities litigation and shareholder activism.

The effect of global climate change may impact the operations of our portfolio companies.
There may be evidence of global climate change. Climate change creates physical and financial risk and some of our portfolio companies
may be adversely affected by climate change. For example, the needs of customers of energy companies vary with weather conditions, primarily
temperature and humidity. To the extent weather conditions are affected by climate change, energy use could increase or decrease depending on
the duration and magnitude of any changes. Increases in the cost of energy could adversely affect the cost of operations of our portfolio
companies if the use of energy products or services is material to their business. A decrease in energy use due to weather changes may affect some
of our portfolio companies’ financial condition, through decreased revenues. Extreme weather conditions in general require more system backup,
adding to costs, and can contribute to increased system stresses, including service interruptions.
In December 2015 the United Nations, of which the U.S. is a member, adopted a climate accord with the long-term goal of limiting global
warming and the short-term goal of significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, our portfolio companies, particularly those
operating in the energy sector, may be subject to new or strengthened regulations or legislation which could increase their operating costs and/or
decrease their revenues.
Pending legislation may allow us to incur additional leverage.
As a BDC, under the 1940 Act we generally are not permitted to incur indebtedness unless immediately after such borrowing we have an
asset coverage for total borrowings of at least 200.0% (i.e., the amount of debt may not exceed 50.0% of the value of our total assets or we may
borrow an amount equal to 100.0% of net assets). Legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives would modify this section of the 1940
Act and increase the amount of debt that BDCs may incur by modifying the asset coverage percentage from 200.0% to 150.0%. As a result, we may
be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future and therefore your risk of an investment in us may increase.
In addition, in December 2015, the 2016 omnibus spending bill approved by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by the President
increased the amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures that affiliated SBIC funds can have outstanding from $225.0 million to $350.0 million, subject
to SBA approval. This new legislation may allow us to issue additional SBIC debentures above the $225.0 million of SBA-guaranteed debentures
previously permitted pending application for and receipt of additional SBIC licenses. If we incur this additional indebtedness in the future, your risk
of an investment in our securities may increase.
We incur significant costs as a result of being a publicly traded company.
As a publicly traded company, we incur legal, accounting and other expenses, which are paid by us, 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 of 2002, or the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act,” and other rules implemented
by the SEC.
Efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act involve significant expenditures, and non-compliance with Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act may adversely affect us and the market price of our common stock.
We are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the related rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. Under current SEC rules since
our fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, our management has been required to report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. 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 expect to continue to incur additional expenses, which may negatively impact our financial performance and our ability to
make distributions to our stockholders. 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 are not able to
ensure that the process is effective or that our internal control over financial reporting is or will continue to 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, consequently, the
market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
Our business is highly dependent on information systems and systems failures could significantly disrupt our business, which may, in turn,
negatively affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to pay dividends.
Our business is highly dependent on the communications and information systems of the Investment Adviser and its affiliates. Any failure
or interruption of such systems could cause delays or other problems in our activities. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our
operating results and, consequently, negatively affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. In
addition, because many of our portfolio companies operate and rely on network infrastructure and enterprise applications and internal technology
systems for development, marketing,

operational, support and other business activities, a disruption or failure of any or all of these systems in the event of a major telecommunications
failure, cyber-attack, fire, earthquake, severe weather conditions or other catastrophic event could cause system interruptions, delays in product
development and loss of critical data and could otherwise disrupt their business operations.
The failure in cyber security systems, as well as the occurrence of events unanticipated in our disaster recovery systems and management
continuity planning could impair our ability to conduct business effectively.
The occurrence of a disaster such as a cyber attack, a natural catastrophe, an industrial accident, a terrorist attack or war, events
unanticipated in our disaster recovery systems, or a support failure from external providers, could have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct
business and on our results of operations and financial condition, particularly if those events affect our computer-based data processing,
transmission, storage, and retrieval systems or destroy data. If a significant number of our managers were unavailable in the event of a disaster, our
ability to effectively conduct our business could be severely compromised.
We depend heavily upon computer systems to perform necessary business functions. Despite our implementation of a variety of security
measures, our computer systems could be subject to cyber attacks and unauthorized access, such as physical and electronic break-ins or
unauthorized tampering. Like other companies, we may experience threats to our data and systems, including malware and computer virus attacks,
unauthorized access, system failures and disruptions. If one or more of these events occurs, it could potentially jeopardize the confidential,
proprietary and other information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause
interruptions or malfunctions in our operations, which could result in damage to our reputation, financial losses, litigation, increased costs,
regulatory penalties and/or customer dissatisfaction or loss.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR INVESTMENTS
Our investments in portfolio companies may be risky, and we could lose all or part of any of our investments.
Investments in small and middle market businesses are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk of credit loss. These risks are
likely to increase during volatile economic periods, such as the U.S. and many other economies have recently experienced. Among other things,
these companies:
• may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their debt instruments 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 from
subsidiaries or affiliates of our portfolio companies that we may have obtained in connection with our investment, as well as a
corresponding decrease in the value of any equity components of our investments;
• may have shorter operating histories, narrower product lines, smaller market shares and/or more significant customer concentrations
than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors' actions and market conditions, as well as general
economic downturns;
•
•
are more likely to depend on the management talents and efforts of a small group of persons; therefore, the death, disability,
resignation or termination of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on our portfolio company and, in turn,
on us;
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;
• may require substantial additional capital to support their operations, finance expansion or maintain their competitive position; and
•
generally have less publicly available information about their businesses, operations and financial condition.
In addition, in the course of providing significant managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies, certain of our officers and
directors may serve as directors on the boards of such companies. To the extent that litigation arises out of our investments in these companies, our
officers and directors may be named as defendants in such litigation, which could result in an expenditure of funds (through our indemnification of
such officers and directors) and the diversion of management time and resources.
38
Table of Contents
Our investment strategy, which is focused primarily on privately held companies, presents certain challenges, including the lack of available
information about these companies.
We invest primarily in privately held companies. There is generally little public information about these companies, and, as a result, we
must rely on the ability of the Investment Adviser to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential returns from, and risks related to,
investing in these companies. If we are unable to uncover all material information about these companies, we may not make a fully informed
investment decision, and we may lose money on our investments. Also, privately held companies frequently have less diverse product lines and
smaller market presence than larger competitors. They are, thus, generally more vulnerable to economic downturns and may experience substantial
variations in operating results. These factors could adversely affect our investment returns.
Our investments in securities rated below investment grade are speculative in nature and are subject to additional risk factors such as
increased possibility of default, illiquidity of the security and changes in value based on changes in interest rates.
The investments that we invest in are typically rated below investment grade. Securities rated below investment grade are often referred to
as “leveraged loans,” “high yield” or “junk” securities, and may be considered “high risk” compared to debt instruments that are rated investment
grade. High yield securities are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest
and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligations and involve major risk exposure to adverse conditions. In addition, high yield
securities generally offer a higher current yield than that available from higher grade issues, but typically involve greater risk. These securities are
especially sensitive to adverse changes in general economic conditions, to changes in the financial condition of their issuers and to price
fluctuation in response to changes in interest rates. During periods of economic downturn or rising interest rates, issuers of below investment grade
instruments may experience financial stress that could adversely affect their ability to make payments of principal and interest and increase the
possibility of default.
Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries, which may subject us to a risk of significant loss if there is a downturn in a
particular industry in which a number of our investments are concentrated.
Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries. For example, as of December 31, 2015, our investments in the software,
the business services and the education industries represented approximately 24.5%, 24.4% and 11.0%, respectively, of the fair value of our
portfolio. A downturn in any particular industry in which we are invested could significantly impact the portfolio companies operating in that
industry, and accordingly, the aggregate returns that we realize from our investment in such portfolio companies.
Specifically, companies in the software industry often have narrow product lines and small market shares. Because of rapid technological
change, the average selling prices of products and some services provided by software companies have historically decreased over their productive
lives. As a result, the average selling prices of products and services offered by software companies in which we invest may decrease over time. In
addition, companies in the business services industry are subject to general economic downturns and business cycles, and will often suffer
reduced revenues and rate pressures during periods of economic uncertainty. Likewise, companies in the education industry are required to comply
with extensive regulatory and accreditation requirements, which could be subject to change by Congress, and which can limit their access to federal
aid or similar loan programs, or otherwise increase their compliance costs. If an industry in which we have significant investments suffers from
adverse business or economic conditions, as these industries have to varying degrees, a material portion of our investment portfolio could be
affected adversely, which, in turn, could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
Continuation of the current decline in oil and natural gas prices for a prolonged period of time could have a material adverse effect.
As of December 31, 2015, approximately 4.3% of our portfolio at fair value is invested in energy-related businesses. A decline in oil and
natural gas prices would adversely affect the credit quality of these investments. A decrease in credit quality would, in turn, negatively affect the
fair value of these investments, which would consequently negatively affect our financial position and results of operations. Should the current
decline in oil and natural gas prices persist, it is likely that our energy-related portfolio companies' abilities to satisfy our financial or operating
covenants or other lenders' will be adversely affected, thereby negatively impacting our financial condition and their ability to satisfy their debt
service and other obligations to us.

Table of Contents
If we make unsecured investments, those investments might not generate sufficient cash flow to service their debt obligations to us.
We may make unsecured investments. Unsecured investments may be subordinated to other obligations of the obligor. Unsecured
investments often reflect a greater possibility that adverse changes in the financial condition of the obligor or general economic conditions
(including, for example, a substantial period of rising interest rates or declining earnings) or both may impair the ability of the obligor to make
payment of principal and interest. If we make an unsecured investment in a portfolio company, that portfolio company may be highly leveraged, and
its relatively high debt-to-equity ratio may increase the risk that its operations might not generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations.
If we invest in the securities and obligations of distressed and bankrupt issuers, we might not receive interest or other payments.
From time to time, we may invest in other types of investments which are not our primary focus, including investments in the securities and
obligations of distressed and bankrupt issuers, including debt obligations that are in covenant or payment default. Such investments generally are
considered speculative. The repayment of defaulted obligations is subject to significant uncertainties. Defaulted obligations might be repaid only
after lengthy workout or bankruptcy proceedings, during which the issuer of those obligations might not make any interest or other payments.
Defaults by our portfolio companies may harm our operating results.
A portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by us or other lenders could lead to defaults and,
potentially, termination of its loans and foreclosure on its secured assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize
a portfolio company’s ability to meet its obligations under the debt or equity securities that we hold.
We may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms, which may include the waiver of
certain financial covenants, with a defaulting portfolio company. In addition, lenders in certain cases can be subject to lender liability claims for
actions taken by them when they become too involved in the borrower’s business or exercise control over a borrower. It is possible that we could
become subject to a lender’s liability claim, including as a result of actions taken if we render significant managerial assistance to the borrower.
Furthermore, if one of our portfolio companies were to file for bankruptcy protection, even though we may have structured our investment as senior
secured debt, depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which we provided managerial assistance to that portfolio
company, a bankruptcy court might re-characterize our debt holding and subordinate all or a portion of our claim to claims of other creditors.
The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business.
We invest, and will continue to invest, in companies whose securities are not publicly traded and whose securities will be subject to legal
and other restrictions on resale or will otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities. The illiquidity of these investments may make it
difficult for us to sell these investments when desired. In addition, if we are required or otherwise choose to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio
quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we had previously recorded these investments. Our investments are usually
subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale or are otherwise illiquid because there is usually no established trading market for such
investments. Because most of our investments are illiquid, we may be unable to dispose of them in which case we could fail to qualify as a RIC
and/or a BDC, or we may be unable to do so at a favorable price, and, as a result, we may suffer losses.
Price declines and illiquidity in the corporate debt markets may adversely affect the fair value of our portfolio investments, reducing our net
asset value through increased net unrealized depreciation.
As a BDC, we are required to carry our investments at market value or, if no market value is ascertainable, at fair value as determined in
good faith by our board of directors. As part of the valuation process, we may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in
determining the fair value of our investments:
•
•
•
a comparison of the portfolio company's securities to publicly traded securities;
the enterprise value of a portfolio company;
the nature and realizable value of any collateral;
40
Table of Contents
•
•
•
the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow;
the markets in which the portfolio company does business; and
changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets generally that may affect the price at which similar investments may be
made in the future and other relevant factors.
When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, we will use the pricing indicated by the
external event to corroborate our valuation. We will record decreases in the market values or fair values of our investments as unrealized
depreciation. Declines in prices and liquidity in the corporate debt markets may result in significant net unrealized depreciation in our portfolio. The
effect of all of these factors on our portfolio may reduce our net asset value by increasing net unrealized depreciation in our portfolio. Depending on
market conditions, we could incur substantial realized losses and may suffer additional unrealized losses in future periods, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If we are unable to make follow-on investments in our portfolio companies, the value of our investment portfolio could be adversely affected.
Following an initial investment in a portfolio company, we may make additional investments in that portfolio company as “follow-on”
investments, in order to (i) increase or maintain in whole or in part our equity ownership percentage, (ii) exercise warrants, options or convertible
securities that were acquired in the original or subsequent financing or (iii) attempt to preserve or enhance the value of our investment. We may
elect not to make follow-on investments or may otherwise lack sufficient funds to make these investments. We have the discretion to make follow-
on investments, subject to the availability of capital resources. If we fail to make follow-on investments, the continued viability of a portfolio
company and our investment may, in some circumstances, be jeopardized and we could miss an 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, either because we prefer other opportunities or because we are subject to BDC
requirements that would prevent such follow-on investments or such follow-on investments would adversely impact our ability to maintain our RIC
status.
Our portfolio companies may incur debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, our investments in such companies.
We invest in portfolio companies at all levels of the capital structure. Our portfolio companies may have, or may be permitted to incur,
other debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, the debt in which we invest. By their terms, these debt instruments may entitle the holders to receive
payment of interest or principal on or before the dates on which we are entitled to receive payments with respect to the debt instruments in which
we invest. In addition, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of a portfolio company, holders of debt
instruments ranking senior to our investment in that portfolio company would typically be entitled to receive payment in full before we receive any
distribution. After repaying the senior creditors, the portfolio company may not have any remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to us.
In the case of debt ranking equally with debt instruments in which we invest, we would have to share on an equal basis any distributions with other
creditors holding such debt in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company.
The disposition of our investments may result in contingent liabilities.
Most of our investments will involve private securities. In connection with the disposition of an investment in private securities, we may
be required to make representations about the business and financial affairs of the portfolio company typical of those made in connection with the
sale of a business. We may also be required to indemnify the purchasers of such investment to the extent that any such representations turn out to
be inaccurate or with respect to certain potential liabilities. These arrangements may result in contingent liabilities that ultimately yield funding
obligations that must be satisfied through our return of certain distributions previously made to us.
There may be circumstances where our debt investments could be subordinated to claims of other creditors or we could be subject to lender
liability claims.
Even though we may have structured certain of our investments as senior loans, if one of our portfolio companies were to go bankrupt,
depending on the facts and circumstances, including the extent to which we actually provided managerial assistance to that portfolio company, a
bankruptcy court might re-characterize our debt investment and subordinate all or a portion of our claim to that of other creditors. We may also be
subject to lender liability claims for actions taken by us with
41
Table of Contents
respect to a borrower’s business or instances where we exercise control over the borrower. It is possible that we could become subject to a lender’s
liability claim, including as a result of actions taken in rendering significant managerial assistance.
Second priority liens on collateral securing loans that we make to our portfolio companies may be subject to control by senior creditors with
first priority liens. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay in full both the first priority creditors and us.
Certain loans to portfolio companies will be secured on a second priority basis by the same collateral securing senior secured debt of such
companies. The first priority liens on the collateral will secure the portfolio company’s obligations under any outstanding senior debt and may
secure certain other future debt that may be permitted to be incurred by the portfolio company under the agreements governing the loans. The
holders of obligations secured by the first priority liens on the collateral will generally control the liquidation of and be entitled to receive proceeds
from any realization of the collateral to repay their obligations in full before us. In addition, the value of the collateral in the event of liquidation will
depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from
the sale or sales of all of the collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the loan obligations secured by the second priority liens after payment in full of
all obligations secured by the first priority liens on the collateral. If such proceeds are not sufficient to repay amounts outstanding under the loan
obligations secured by the second priority liens, then we, to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the collateral, will only have an
unsecured claim against the portfolio company’s remaining assets, if any.
The rights we may have with respect to the collateral securing the loans we make to our portfolio companies with senior debt outstanding
may also be limited pursuant to the terms of one or more intercreditor agreements entered into with the holders of first priority senior debt. Under an
intercreditor agreement, at any time that obligations that have the benefit of the first priority liens are outstanding, any of the following actions that
may be taken in respect of the collateral will be at the direction of the holders of the obligations secured by the first priority liens: the ability to
cause the commencement of enforcement proceedings against the collateral, the ability to control the conduct of such proceedings, the approval of
amendments to collateral documents; releases of liens on the collateral and waivers of past defaults under collateral documents. We may not have
the ability to control or direct these actions, even if our rights are adversely affected.
We generally do not control our portfolio companies.
Although we have taken and may in the future take controlling equity positions in our portfolio companies from time to time, we generally
do not control most of our portfolio companies, even though we may have board representation or board observation rights, and our debt
agreements may contain certain restrictive covenants that limit the business and operations of our portfolio companies. As a result, we are subject
to the risk that a portfolio company may make business decisions with which we disagree and the management of such company may take risks or
otherwise act in ways that do not serve our interests as debt investors. Due to the lack of liquidity of the investments that we typically hold in our
portfolio companies, we may not be able to dispose of our investments in the event that we disagree with the actions of a portfolio company as
readily as we would otherwise like to or at favorable prices which could decrease the value of our investments.
Economic recessions, downturns or government spending cuts could impair our portfolio companies and harm our operating results.
Many of our portfolio companies may be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions and may be unable to repay its debt
investments during these periods. Therefore, our non-performing assets are likely to increase, and the value of our portfolio is likely to decrease
during these periods. Adverse economic conditions also may decrease the value of collateral securing some of our debt investments 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 number of our portfolio companies provide services to the U.S. government. Changes in the U.S. government’s priorities and spending, or
significant delays or reductions in appropriations of the U.S. government’s funds, could have a material adverse effect on the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of such portfolio companies.
A number of our portfolio companies derive a substantial portion of their revenue from the U.S. government. Levels of the U.S.
government’s spending in future periods are very difficult to predict and subject to significant risks. In addition, significant budgetary constraints
may result in further reductions to projected spending levels. In particular, U.S. government expenditures are subject to the potential for automatic
reductions, generally referred to as “sequestration.” Sequestration
42
Table of Contents
occurred during 2013, and may occur again in the future, resulting in significant additional reductions to spending by the U.S. government on both
existing and new contracts as well as disruption of ongoing programs. Even if sequestration does not occur again in the future, we expect that
budgetary constraints and ongoing concerns regarding the U.S. national debt will continue to place downward pressure on U.S. government
spending levels. Due to these and other factors, overall U.S. government spending could decline, which could result in significant reductions to the
revenues, cash flow and profits of our portfolio companies that provide services to the U.S. government.
Prepayments of our debt investments by our portfolio companies could adversely impact our results of operations and reduce our return on
equity.
We are subject to the risk that the investments we make in our portfolio companies may be repaid prior to maturity. When this occurs,
subject to maintenance of our RIC status, we will generally reinvest these proceeds in temporary investments, pending our future investment in new
portfolio companies. These temporary investments will typically have substantially lower yields than the debt being prepaid and we could
experience significant delays in reinvesting these amounts. Any future investment in a new portfolio company may also be at lower yields than the
debt that was repaid. As a result, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected if one or more of our portfolio companies elect to
prepay amounts owed to us. Additionally, prepayments could negatively impact our return on equity, which could result in a decline in the market
price of our common stock.
We may not realize gains from our equity investments.
When we invest in portfolio companies, we may acquire warrants or other equity securities of portfolio companies as well. We may also
invest in equity securities directly. To the extent we hold equity investments, we will attempt to dispose of them and realize gains upon our
disposition of them. However, the equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value. As a result, 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 also may be unable to realize any value if a portfolio company does not have a liquidity event, such as a
sale of the business, recapitalization or public offering, which would allow us to sell the underlying equity interests.
Our performance may differ from our historical performance as our current investment strategy includes significantly more primary
originations in addition to secondary market purchases.
Historically, our investment strategy consisted primarily of secondary market purchases in debt securities. We adjusted that investment
strategy to also include significantly more primary originations. While loans that we originate and loans we purchase in the secondary market face
many of the same risks associated with the financing of leveraged companies, we may be exposed to different risks depending on specific business
considerations for secondary market purchases or origination of loans. Primary originations require substantially more time and resources for
sourcing, diligencing and monitoring investments, which may consume a significant portion of our resources. Further, the valuation process for
primary originations may be more cumbersome and uncertain due to the lack of comparable market quotes for the investment and would likely
require more frequent review by a third-party valuation firm. This may result in greater costs for us and fluctuations in the quarterly valuations of
investments that are primary originations. As a result, this strategy may result in different returns from these investments than the types of returns
historically experienced from secondary market purchases of debt securities.
We may be subject to additional risks if we invest in foreign securities and/or engage in hedging transactions.
The 1940 Act generally requires that 70.0% of our investments be in issuers each of whom is organized under the laws of, and has its
principal place of business in, any state of the U.S., the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands or any other possession of the U.S. Our
investment strategy does not presently contemplate significant investments in securities of non-U.S. companies. However, we may desire to make
such investments in the future, to the extent that such transactions and investments are permitted under the 1940 Act. We expect that these
investments would focus on the same types of investments that we make in U.S. middle market companies and accordingly would be
complementary to our overall strategy and enhance the diversity of our holdings. Investing in foreign companies could expose us to additional risks
not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include changes in exchange control regulations, political and social
instability, expropriation, imposition of foreign taxes, less liquid markets and less available information than is generally the case in the U.S., 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. Investments denominated in foreign
currencies would be subject to the risk that the value of a particular currency will change in relation to one or more other currencies. Among the
factors that may affect currency values are trade balances, the level of short-term interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in
different currencies, long-term opportunities for
43
Table of Contents
investment and capital appreciation and political developments. We may employ hedging techniques to minimize these risks, but we can offer no
assurance that we will, in fact, hedge currency risk, or that if we do, such strategies will be effective.
Engaging in hedging transactions would also, indirectly, entail additional risks to our stockholders. Although it is not currently anticipated
that we would engage in hedging transactions as a principal investment strategy, if we determined to engage in hedging transactions, we generally
would seek to hedge against fluctuations of the relative values of our portfolio positions from changes in market interest rates or currency exchange
rates. Hedging against a decline in the values of our portfolio positions would not eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the values of such
positions or prevent losses if the values of the positions declined. However, such hedging could establish other positions designed to gain from
those same developments, thereby offsetting the decline in the value of such portfolio positions.
These hedging transactions could also limit the opportunity for gain if the values of the underlying portfolio positions increased.
Moreover, it might not be possible to hedge against an exchange rate or interest rate fluctuation that was so generally anticipated that we would not
be able to enter into a hedging transaction at an acceptable price. If we choose to engage in hedging transactions, there can be no assurances that
we will achieve the intended benefits of such transactions and, depending on the degree of exposure such transactions could create, such
transactions may expose us to risk of loss.
While we may enter into these types of transactions to seek to reduce currency exchange rate and interest rate risks, unanticipated
changes in currency exchange rates or interest rates could 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 could vary. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we might not seek to establish a perfect
correlation between the hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Any imperfect correlation could prevent us from achieving
the intended hedge and expose us to risk of loss. In addition, it might 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 would likely fluctuate as a result of
factors not related to currency fluctuations.
Uncertainty relating to the LIBOR calculation process may adversely affect the value of our portfolio of LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt
securities.
Concerns have been publicized that some of the member banks surveyed by the British Bankers’ Association (“BBA”) in connection with
the calculation of LIBOR across a range of maturities and currencies may have been under-reporting or otherwise manipulating the inter-bank
lending rate applicable to them in order to profit on their derivatives positions or to avoid an appearance of capital insufficiency or adverse
reputational or other consequences that may have resulted from reporting inter-bank lending rates higher than those they actually submitted. A
number of BBA member banks have entered into settlements with their regulators and law enforcement agencies with respect to alleged
manipulation of LIBOR, and investigations by regulators and governmental authorities in various jurisdictions are ongoing.
Actions by the BBA, regulators or law enforcement agencies may result in changes to the manner in which LIBOR is determined.
Uncertainty as to the nature of such potential changes may adversely affect the market for LIBOR-based securities, including our portfolio of
LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities. In addition, any further changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR may result in
a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on the market for LIBOR-based securities or
the value of our portfolio of LIBOR-indexed, floating-rate debt securities.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR SECURITIES
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
The market price and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock may be significantly affected by numerous factors, some of
which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance. These factors include:
•
•
•
price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market or in the market for BDCs from time to time;
investor demand for shares of our common stock;
significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of registered closed-end management investment companies,
BDCs or other financial services companies, which is not necessarily related to the operating performance of these companies;

•
the inability to raise equity capital;
our inability to borrow money or deploy or invest our capital;
fluctuations in interest rates;
any shortfall in revenue or net income or any increase in losses from levels expected by investors or securities analysts;
operating performance of companies comparable to us;
changes in regulatory policies or tax guidelines with respect to RICs or BDCs;
our loss of status as or ability to operate as a BDC;
our failure to qualify as a RIC, loss of RIC status or ability to operate as a RIC;
actual or anticipated changes in our earnings or fluctuations in our operating results;
changes in the value of our portfolio of investments;
general economic conditions, trends and other external factors;
departures of key personnel; or
loss of a major source of funding.
In addition, we are required to continue to meet certain listing standards in order for our common stock to remain listed on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). If we were to be delisted by the NYSE, the liquidity of our common stock would be materially impaired.
Investing in our common stock may involve an above average degree of risk.
The investments we may make may result in a higher amount of risk, volatility or loss of principal than alternative investment options.
These investments in portfolio companies may be highly speculative and aggressive, and therefore, an investment in our common stock may not be
suitable for investors with lower risk tolerance.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock could materially adversely affect the prevailing market prices for our common stock. If
substantial amounts of our common stock were sold, this could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities should we
desire to do so.
Our stockholders may experience dilution upon the repurchase of common stock.
On February 3, 2016, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan permitting us to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our
common stock. We may repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market, including block purchases, at prices that may be above or
below the net asset value as reported in the most recently published financial statements. We expect that the share repurchase program will be in
effect until December 31, 2016, or until the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase shares. If we were to repurchase shares at a price
above net asset value, such repurchases would result in an immediate dilution to existing common stockholders due to a reduction in our earnings
and assets due to the repurchase that is greater than the reduction in total shares outstanding.
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as aspects of the Delaware General Corporation Law 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 Delaware General Corporation Law 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 for a classified board of directors, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to change the membership of a majority of
our board of directors;
•
authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to thwart a takeover attempt;
45
Table of Contents
•
•
•
•
•
do not provide for cumulative voting;
provide that vacancies on the 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;
require supermajority voting 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.
These anti-takeover provisions may inhibit a change in control in circumstances that could give the holders of our common stock the
opportunity to realize a premium over the market price for our common stock. The Holdings Credit Facility and NMFC Credit Facility also include
covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, create liens
on assets, make investments, make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations. The Holdings Credit Facility and NMFC Credit Facility
also include change of control provisions that accelerate the indebtedness under these facilities in the event of certain change of control events.
Shares of our common stock have traded at a discount from net asset value and may do so in the future.
Shares of closed-end investment companies have frequently traded at a market price that is less than the net asset value that is attributable
to those shares. In part as a result of adverse economic conditions and increasing pressure within the financial sector of which we are a part, our
common stock has at times traded below our net asset value per share since our IPO on May 19, 2011. Our shares could once again trade at a
discount to net asset value. The possibility that our shares of common stock may trade at a discount from net asset value over the long term is
separate and distinct from the risk that our net asset value will decrease. We cannot predict whether shares of our common stock will trade above, at
or below our net asset value. If our common stock trades below our net asset value, we will generally not be able to issue additional shares of our
common stock without first obtaining the approval for such issuance from our stockholders and our independent directors. If additional funds are
not available to us, we could be forced to curtail or cease our new lending and investment activities, and our net asset value could decrease and our
level of distributions could be impacted.
You may not receive dividends or our dividends may decline or may not grow over time.
We cannot assure you that we will achieve investment results or maintain a tax status that will allow or require any specified level of cash
distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. In particular, our future dividends are dependent upon the investment income we
receive on our portfolio investments. To the extent such investment income declines, our ability to pay future dividends may be harmed.
If we issue preferred stock, the net asset value and market value of our common stock will likely become more volatile.
We cannot assure you that the issuance of preferred stock would result in a higher yield or return to the holders of our common stock. The
issuance of preferred stock would likely cause the net asset value and market value of the common stock to become more volatile. If the dividend
rate on the preferred stock were to approach the net rate of return on our investment portfolio, the benefit of leverage to the holders of the common
stock would be reduced. If the dividend rate on the preferred stock were to exceed the net rate of return on our portfolio, the leverage would result
in a lower rate of return to the holders of common stock than if we had not issued preferred stock. Any decline in the net asset value of our
investments would be borne entirely by the holders of common stock. Therefore, if the market value of our portfolio were to decline, the leverage
would result in a greater decrease in net asset value to the holders of common stock than if we were not leveraged through the issuance of preferred
stock. This greater net asset value decrease would also tend to cause a greater decline in the market price for the common stock.
We might be in danger of failing to maintain the required asset coverage of the preferred stock or of losing our ratings, if any, on the
preferred stock or, in an extreme case, our current investment income might not be sufficient to meet the dividend requirements on the preferred
stock. In order to counteract such an event, we might need to liquidate investments in order to fund a redemption of some or all of the preferred
stock. In addition, we would pay (and the holders of common stock would bear) all costs and expenses relating to the issuance and ongoing
maintenance of the preferred stock, including higher advisory fees if our total return exceeds the dividend rate on the preferred stock. Holders of
preferred stock may have different interests than holders of common stock and may at times have disproportionate influence over our affairs.
46
Table of Contents
Holders of any preferred stock we might issue would have the right to elect members of our 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 our 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 1940 Act and by requirements
imposed by rating agencies, if any, or the terms of our credit facilities, if any, might impair our ability to maintain our qualification as a RIC for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. While we would intend to redeem our preferred stock to the extent necessary to enable us to distribute our income as
required to maintain our qualification as a RIC, there can be no assurance that such actions could be effected in time to meet the tax requirements.

Item 2. Properties
We do not own any real estate or other physical properties materially important to our operations. Our principal executive offices are located
at 787 Seventh Avenue, 48th Floor, New York, New York 10019, where we occupy our office space pursuant to our Administration Agreement with
the Administrator. The office space is shared with our Investment Adviser, our Administrator and New Mountain Capital. We believe that our
current office facilities are suitable and adequate for our business as currently conducted.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We, and our consolidated subsidiaries, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator are not currently subject to any material pending legal
proceedings threatened against us as of December 31, 2015. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the
normal course of our business including the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these
legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our business,
financial condition or results of operations.

On February 26, 2016, the last reported sales price of our common stock was $12.40 per share. As of February 26, 2016, we had
approximately 27 stockholders of record and one beneficial owner whose shares are held in the names of brokers, dealers, funds, trusts and clearing
agencies.
Dividends
We intend to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders in amounts sufficient to maintain our status as a regulated investment
company ("RIC"). We intend to distribute approximately our entire Adjusted Net Investment Income (defined as net investment income adjusted to
reflect income as if the cost basis of investments held at the IPO date had stepped-up to fair market value as of the IPO date) on a quarterly basis
and substantially all of our taxable income on an annual basis, except that we may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.
We maintain an "opt out" dividend reinvestment plan on behalf of our stockholders, pursuant to which each of our stockholders' cash
distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless the stockholder elects to receive cash.
48
Table of Contents
We apply the following in implementing the dividend reinvestment plan. If the price at which newly issued shares are to be credited to
stockholders' accounts is equal to or greater than 110.0% of the last determined NAV of the shares, we will use only newly issued shares to
implement the dividend reinvestment plan. Under such circumstances, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder is determined by dividing
the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on the
distribution payment date. Market price per share on that date will be the closing price for such shares on the NYSE or, if no sale is reported for
such day, the average of their electronically reported bid and ask prices.
If the price at which newly issued shares are to be credited to stockholders' accounts is less than 110.0% of the last determined NAV of the
shares, we will either issue new shares or instruct the plan administrator to purchase shares in the open market to satisfy the additional shares
required. Shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a stockholder based on the average purchase
price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of common stock purchased in the open market. 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. See Item 8.—Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data—Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information.
The following table reflects cash distributions, including dividends and returns of capital, if any, per share that have been declared by our
board of directors for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Stock Performance Graph
This graph compares the return on our common stock with that of the Standard & Poor's 500 Total Return Index ("S&P 500 TR") and the
Russell 2000 Index Total Return ("Russell 2000 TR") as we do not believe that there is an appropriate index of companies with an investment
strategy similar to our own with which to compare the return on our common stock, for the period May 19, 2011 (commencement of operations) to
December 31, 2015. The graph assumes that, on May 19, 2011, a person invested $100 in each of our common stock, the S&P 500 TR and the Russell
2000 TR. The graph measures total stockholder return, which takes into account both changes in stock price and dividends. It assumes that
dividends paid are invested in like securities.

In applying the if-converted method, conversion is not assumed for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share if the effect would be
anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2015, there was anti-dilution. For the year ended December 31, 2014, there was no anti-dilution.
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, due to reflecting earnings for the full year of operations of the Predecessor
Operating Company assuming 100.0% NMFC ownership of Predecessor Operating Company and assuming all of New Mountain Finance
AIV Holdings Corporation's ("AIV Holdings") units in the Predecessor Operating Company were exchanged for public shares of NMFC
during the years then ended, the earnings per share would be $1.79 and $2.18, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and for the period May 19, 2011 to
December 31, 2011, total return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock at the opening of the first day of the period and assuming
a purchase of common stock at our initial purchase offering ("IPO"), respectively, and a sale on the closing of the last day of the respective
period ends. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under our
dividend reinvestment plan.
Total return is calculated assuming a purchase at net asset value on the opening of the first day of the period and a sale at net asset value on
the last day of the period. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at the net asset
value on the last day of the respective quarter.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, amounts include our investment activity and the investment activity of the Predecessor Operating
Company.
The weighted average Yield to Maturity at Cost calculation assumes that all investments, including secured collateralized agreements, not on
non-accrual are purchased at the adjusted cost on the respective period ends and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments
or losses and exited at par at maturity. Adjusted cost reflects the cost for post-IPO investments in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and a stepped up cost basis of pre-IPO investments (assuming a step-up to fair
market value occurred on the IPO date).

(1) Dividends declared in the year ended December 31, 2013 include a $0.12 per unit special dividend related to a distribution received
attributable to NMF Holdings' investment in YP Equity Investors LLC. Dividends declared in the year ended December 31, 2012 include a
$0.23 per unit special dividend related to estimated realized capital gains attributable to NMF Holdings' investments in Lawson Software, Inc.
and Infor Lux Bond Company and a $0.14 per unit special dividend intended to minimize to the greatest extent possible NMFC's U.S. federal
income or excise tax liability. Actual cash payments on the dividends declared to AIV Holdings only, for the quarters ended March 31, 2012,
June 30, 2012, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, were made on April 4, 2012, July 9, 2012, January 7, 2013 and April 5, 2013 respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total return is calculated assuming a purchase at net asset value on the
opening of the first day of the year and a sale at net asset value on the last day of the respective period ends. Dividends and distributions, if
any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at the net asset value on the last day of the respective quarter. For the
year ended December 31, 2011, total return is calculated in two parts: (1) from the opening of the first day of the year to NMFC's IPO date,
total return is calculated based on net income over weighted average net assets and (2) from NMFC's IPO date to the last day of the year,
total return is calculated assuming a purchase at net asset value on NMFC's IPO date and a sale at net asset value on the last day of the year.
Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at the net asset value on the last day of the
respective quarter.

The weighted average Yield to Maturity at Cost calculation assumes that all investments not on non-accrual are purchased at the adjusted
cost on the respective period ends and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments or losses and exited at par at maturity.
Adjusted cost reflects the GAAP cost for post-IPO investments and a stepped up cost basis of pre-IPO investments (assuming a step-up to
fair market value occurred on the IPO date). The weighted average Yield to Maturity at Cost was not calculated prior to NMFC's IPO.
The weighted average Yield to Maturity calculation assumes that all investments not on non-accrual are purchased at fair value on the
respective period ends and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments or losses and exited at par at maturity. The weighted
average Yield to Maturity was not calculated subsequent to December 31, 2013.
"Adjusted Yield to Maturity" assumes that the investments in NMF Holdings' portfolio are purchased at fair value on the respective period
ends and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments or losses and exited at par at maturity. This calculation excludes the
impact of existing leverage, except for the non-recourse debt of NMF SLF. NMF SLF is treated as a fully levered asset of NMF Holdings, with
NMF SLF's net asset value being included for yield calculation purposes.

Overview
New Mountain Finance Corporation
We are a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on June 29, 2010. We are a closed-end, non-diversified 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 "1940 Act"). As such, we are obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. We have elected to be treated, and intend to
comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code"). NMFC is also registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Advisers Act").
57
Table of Contents
On May 19, 2011, we priced our initial public offering (the "IPO") of 7,272,727 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.75
per share. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO and at the public offering price of $13.75 per share, we sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of our
common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital (defined as New Mountain
Capital Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates) in a concurrent private placement (the "Concurrent Private Placement"). Additionally, 1,252,964 shares were
issued to the partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P. at that time for their ownership interest in the Predecessor Entities (as defined
below). In connection with our IPO and through a series of transactions, New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. ("NMF Holdings" or the
"Predecessor Operating Company") acquired all of the operations of the Predecessor Entities, including all of the assets and liabilities related to
such operations.
New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C.
NMF Holdings is a Delaware limited liability company. Until May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings was externally managed and was regulated as a
BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, NMF Holdings was obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. NMF Holdings was treated as a
partnership for United States ("U.S.") federal income tax purposes for so long as it had at least two members. With the completion of the
underwritten secondary offering on February 3, 2014, NMF Holdings' existence as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes terminated and
NMF Holdings became an entity that is disregarded as a separate entity from its owner for U.S. federal tax purposes. For additional information on
our organizational structure prior to May 8, 2014, see "—Restructuring".
Until May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings was externally managed by the Investment Adviser. As of May 8, 2014, the Investment Adviser serves
as the external investment adviser to us. New Mountain Finance Administration, L.L.C. (the "Administrator") provides the administrative services
necessary for operations. The Investment Adviser and Administrator are wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Mountain Capital. New Mountain
Capital is a firm with a track record of investing in the middle market and with assets under management totaling more than $15.0 billion(1), which
includes total assets held by us. New Mountain Capital focuses on investing in defensive growth companies across its private equity, public equity
and credit investment vehicles. NMF Holdings, formerly known as New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C., was originally formed as a
subsidiary of New Mountain Guardian AIV, L.P. ("Guardian AIV") by New Mountain Capital in October 2008. Guardian AIV was formed through an
allocation of approximately $300.0 million of the $5.1 billion of commitments supporting New Mountain Partners III, L.P., a private equity fund
managed by New Mountain Capital. In February 2009, New Mountain Capital formed a co-investment vehicle, New Mountain Guardian
Partners, L.P., comprising $20.4 million of commitments. New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C. and New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P.,
together with their respective direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, are defined as the "Predecessor Entities".
Prior to December 18, 2014, New Mountain Finance SPV Funding, L.L.C. ("NMF SLF") was a Delaware limited liability company. NMF SLF
was a wholly-owned subsidiary of NMF Holdings and thus our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary. NMF SLF was bankruptcy-remote and non-
recourse to us. As part of an amendment to our existing credit facilities with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, NMF SLF merged with and
into NMF Holdings on December 18, 2014. See Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 7, Borrowings for additional
information on our credit facilities.
New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation
Until April 25, 2014, New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation ("AIV Holdings") was a Delaware corporation that was originally
incorporated on March 11, 2011. AIV Holdings was dissolved on April 25, 2014. Guardian AIV, a Delaware limited partnership, was AIV Holdings'
sole stockholder. AIV Holdings was a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that was regulated as a BDC under the 1940
Act. As such, AIV Holdings was obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. AIV Holdings was treated, and complied with the
requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code.

Structure
Prior to the Restructuring (as defined below) on May 8, 2014, NMFC and AIV Holdings were holding companies with no direct operations
of their own, and their sole asset was their ownership in NMF Holdings. In connection with the IPO, NMFC and AIV Holdings each entered into a
joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated (the "Operating Agreement"), of NMF
Holdings, pursuant to which NMFC and AIV Holdings were admitted as members of NMF Holdings. NMFC acquired from NMF Holdings, with the
gross proceeds of the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement, common membership units ("units") of NMF Holdings (the number of units were
equal to the number of shares of NMFC's common stock sold in the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement). Additionally, NMFC received units
of NMF Holdings equal to the number of shares of common stock of NMFC issued to the partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P.
Guardian AIV was the parent of NMF Holdings prior to the IPO and, as a result of the transactions completed in connection with the IPO, obtained
units in NMF Holdings. Guardian AIV contributed its units in NMF Holdings to AIV Holdings in exchange for common stock of AIV Holdings. AIV
Holdings had the right to exchange all or any portion of its units in NMF Holdings for shares of NMFC's common stock on a one-for-one basis at
any time.
The original structure was designed to generally prevent NMFC and its stockholders from being allocated taxable income with respect to
unrecognized gains that existed at the time of the IPO in the Predecessor Entities' assets, and rather such amounts would be allocated generally to
AIV Holdings. The result was that any distributions made to NMFC's stockholders that were attributable to such gains generally were not treated
as taxable dividends but rather as return of capital.
Since our IPO, and through December 31, 2015, we raised approximately $454.0 million in net proceeds from additional offerings of common
stock and issued shares of common stock valued at approximately $288.4 million on behalf of AIV Holdings for exchanged units. We acquired from
NMF Holdings units of NMF Holdings equal to the number of shares of our common stock sold in additional offerings. With the completion of the
final secondary offering on February 3, 2014, we owned 100.0% of the units of NMF Holdings, which became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Restructuring
As a BDC, AIV Holdings had been subject to the 1940 Act, including certain provisions applicable only to BDCs. Accordingly, and after
careful consideration of the 1940 Act requirements applicable to BDCs, the cost of 1940 Act compliance and a thorough assessment of AIV
Holdings' business model, AIV Holdings' board of directors determined that continuation as a BDC was not in the best interests of AIV Holdings
and Guardian AIV. Specifically, given that AIV Holdings was formed for the sole purpose of holding units of NMF Holdings and AIV Holdings had
disposed of all of the units of NMF Holdings that it was holding as of February 3, 2014, the board of directors of AIV Holdings approved and
declared advisable at an in-person meeting held on March 25, 2014 the withdrawal of AIV Holdings' election to be regulated as a BDC under the
1940 Act. In addition, the board of directors of AIV Holdings approved and declared advisable for AIV Holdings to terminate its registration under
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and to dissolve AIV Holdings under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
Upon receipt of the necessary stockholder consent to authorize the board of directors of AIV Holdings to withdraw AIV Holdings' election
to be regulated as a BDC, the withdrawal was filed and became effective upon receipt by the SEC of AIV Holdings' notification of withdrawal on
Form N-54C on April 15, 2014. The board of directors of AIV Holdings believed that AIV Holdings met the requirements for filing the notification to
withdraw its election to be regulated as a BDC, upon the receipt of the necessary stockholder consent. After the notification of withdrawal of AIV
Holdings' BDC election was filed with the SEC, AIV Holdings was no longer subject to the regulatory provisions of the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs
generally, including regulations related to insurance, custody, composition of its board of directors, affiliated transactions and any compensation
arrangements.
In addition, on April 15, 2014, AIV Holdings filed a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate AIV Holdings' registration under Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act. After these SEC filings and any other federal or state regulatory or tax filings were made, AIV Holdings proceeded to dissolve under
Delaware law by filing a certificate of dissolution in Delaware on April 25, 2014.
Until May 8, 2014, as a BDC, NMF Holdings had been subject to the 1940 Act, including certain provisions applicable only to BDCs.
Accordingly, and after careful consideration of the 1940 Act requirements applicable to BDCs, the cost of 1940 Act compliance and a thorough
assessment of NMF Holdings' current business model, NMF Holdings' board of directors determined at an in-person meeting held on March 25,
2014 that continuation as a BDC was not in the best interests of NMF Holdings.
At the 2014 joint annual meeting of the stockholders of NMFC and the sole unit holder of NMF Holdings held on May 6, 2014, the
stockholders of NMFC and the sole unit holder of NMF Holdings approved a proposal which authorized the board of directors of NMF Holdings to
withdraw NMF Holdings' election to be regulated as a BDC. Additionally, the
59
Table of Contents
stockholders of NMFC approved a new investment advisory and management agreement between NMFC and the Investment Adviser. Upon
receipt of the necessary stockholder/unit holder approval to authorize the board of directors of NMF Holdings to withdraw NMF Holdings' election
to be regulated as a BDC, the withdrawal was filed and became effective upon receipt by the SEC of NMF Holdings' notification of withdrawal on
Form N-54C on May 8, 2014.
Effective May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings amended and restated its Operating Agreement such that the board of directors of NMF Holdings
was dissolved and NMF Holdings remained a wholly-owned subsidiary of NMFC with the sole purpose of serving as a special purpose vehicle for
NMF Holdings' credit facility, and NMFC assumed all other operating activities previously undertaken by NMF Holdings under the management of
the Investment Adviser (collectively, the "Restructuring"). After the Restructuring, all wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of NMFC are
consolidated with NMFC for both 1940 Act and financial statement reporting purposes, subject to any financial statement adjustments required in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). NMFC continues to remain a BDC regulated
under the 1940 Act.
Also, on May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings filed Form 15 with the SEC to terminate NMF Holdings' registration under Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act. As a special purpose entity, NMF Holdings is bankruptcy-remote and non-recourse to NMFC. In addition, the assets held at NMF
Holdings will continue to be used to secure NMF Holdings' credit facility.
Current Organization
During the year ended December 31, 2015, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary, NMF QID NGL Holdings, Inc. (“NMF QID”). Our
wholly-owned subsidiaries, NMF Ancora Holdings Inc. (“NMF Ancora”), NMF QID and NMF YP Holdings Inc. (“NMF YP”), are structured as
Delaware entities that serve as tax blocker corporations which hold equity or equity-like investments in portfolio companies organized as limited
liability companies (or other forms of pass-through entities). We consolidate our tax blocker corporations for accounting purposes. The tax blocker
corporations are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may incur income tax expense as a result of their ownership of the portfolio
companies. Additionally, our wholly-owned subsidiary, New Mountain Finance Servicing, L.L.C. (“NMF Servicing”) serves as the administrative
agent on certain investment transactions. New Mountain Finance SBIC, L.P. (“SBIC LP”), and its general partner, New Mountain Finance SBIC G.P.,
L.L.C. (“SBIC GP”), were organized in Delaware as a limited partnership and limited liability company, respectively. SBIC LP and SBIC GP are our
consolidated wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries. SBIC LP received a license from the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) to
operate as a small business investment company (“SBIC”) under Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (the
“1958 Act”).
The diagram below depicts our organizational structure as of December 31, 2015.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the sourcing and origination of debt securities at
all levels of the capital structure, including first and second lien debt, notes, bonds and mezzanine securities. In some cases, our investments may
also include equity interests. The primary focus is in the debt of defensive growth companies, which are defined as generally exhibiting the
following characteristics: (i) sustainable secular growth drivers, (ii) high barriers to competitive entry, (iii) high free cash flow after capital
expenditure and working capital needs, (iv) high returns on assets and (v) niche market dominance. Similar to us, SBIC LP's investment objective is
to generate current income and capital appreciation under our investment criteria. However, SBIC LP's investments must be in SBA eligible
companies. Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries. As of December 31, 2015, our top five industry concentrations were
software, business services, education, distribution & logistics and federal services.
As of December 31, 2015, our net asset value was $836.9 million and our portfolio had a fair value of approximately $1,512.2 million in 75
portfolio companies, with a weighted average Yield to Maturity at Cost of approximately 10.7%. This Yield to Maturity at Cost ("Yield to Maturity at
Cost") calculation assumes that all investments, including secured collateralized agreements, not on non-accrual are purchased at the adjusted cost
on the quarter end date and held until their respective maturities with no prepayments or losses and exited at par at maturity. Adjusted cost reflects
the GAAP cost for post-IPO investments and a stepped up cost basis of pre-IPO investments (assuming a step-up to fair market value occurred on
the IPO date). This calculation excludes the impact of existing leverage. Yield to Maturity at Cost uses the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") curves at each quarter's end date. The actual yield to maturity may be higher or lower due to the future selection of the LIBOR contracts
by the individual companies in our portfolio or other factors.
Recent Developments
On February 4, 2016, our board of directors authorized a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $50.0 million worth of our common
stock. Under the repurchase program, we may, but are not obligated to, repurchase our outstanding common stock in the open market from time to
time provided that we comply with our code of ethics and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, including certain price,
market volume and timing constraints. In addition, any repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the 1940 Act. Unless amended or extended
by our board of directors, we expect the repurchase program to be in place until the earlier of December 31, 2016 or until $50.0 million of our
outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased.
Our board of directors authorized the repurchase program because it believes the sustained market volatility and uncertainty may cause
our common stock to be undervalued from time to time. The timing and number of shares to be repurchased will depend on a number of factors,
including market conditions. There are no assurances that we will engage in repurchases, but if market conditions warrant, we now have the ability
to take advantage of situations where our management believes share repurchases would be advantageous to us and to our shareholders.
On February 22, 2016, our board of directors declared a first quarter 2016 distribution of $0.34 per share payable on March 31, 2016 to
holders of record as of March 17, 2016.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified
the following items as critical accounting policies.
Basis of Accounting
We consolidate our wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries: NMF Holdings, NMF Servicing, SBIC LP, SBIC GP, NMF Ancora, NMF
QID and NMF YP. Previously, we consolidated our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary NMF SLF until it merged with and into NMF Holdings on
December 18, 2014. See Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 7, Borrowings for additional information on our credit
facilities. We are an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance as described in Accounting Standards Codification
Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies, ("ASC 946"). Prior to the Restructuring, the Predecessor Operating Company consolidated
its wholly-owned subsidiary, NMF SLF. NMFC and AIV Holdings did not consolidate the Predecessor Operating Company. Prior to the
Restructuring, NMFC and AIV Holdings applied investment company master-feeder financial statement presentation, as described in ASC 946 to
their interest in the Predecessor Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings observed that it is also industry practice to follow the presentation
prescribed for a master fund-feeder fund structure in ASC 946 in instances in which a master fund is owned by more than one feeder fund and that
such presentation provided stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings with a clearer depiction of their investment in the master fund.

Valuation and Leveling of Portfolio Investments
At all times consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act, we conduct a valuation of assets, which impacts our net asset value.
We value our assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, our board of directors is ultimately
and solely responsible for determining the fair value of our portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including investments that are
not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available and any other situation where our portfolio investments require a fair value
determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Our quarterly valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:
(1) Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing
price indicated from independent pricing services.
(2) Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi-
step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with
GAAP.
a. Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the investment professionals of
the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and if so, the quote
is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment's par value or its fair
value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see
(3) below); and
b. For investments other than bonds, we look at the number of quotes readily available and performs the following:
i.
ii.
Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid
and ask of the quotes obtained;
Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment professionals of the
Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate
the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote internally and if the investment's par value or
its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes
(see (3) below).
(3) Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a
multi-step valuation process:
a. Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for
the credit monitoring;
b. Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with our senior management;
c.
If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment's par value or its fair value exceeds the
materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which we do not have a readily
available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by our board of directors; and
d. When deemed appropriate by our management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value investment(s) of a
portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment professionals of
the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.
For investments in revolving credit facilities and delayed draw commitments, the cost basis of the funded investments purchased is offset
by any costs/netbacks received for any unfunded portion on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for the price appreciation
or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of commitments not completely funded may result in a negative fair value until it
is called and funded.
The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might
ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are
liquidated. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair
value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.
62
Table of Contents
GAAP fair value measurement guidance classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:
Level I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments and we have the ability to access such quotes
as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level I include active exchange-traded equity securities and
exchange-traded derivatives. As required by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
("ASC 820"), we, to the extent that we hold such investments, do not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we
hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Level II—Pricing inputs are observable for the investments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as
those used in Level I. Level II inputs include the following:
• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which
trade infrequently);
•
•
Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-
counter derivatives, including foreign exchange forward contracts); and
Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other
means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the
investment.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels. In all instances when the inputs fall within different levels of the
hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. As such, a Level III fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable and unobservable. Gains and
losses for such assets categorized within the Level III table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable
inputs and unobservable inputs.
The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by management and consideration of factors
specific to each investment. A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of
valuation inputs may result in the transfer of certain investments within the fair value hierarchy from period to period. Reclassifications impacting
the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the respective leveling categories as of the beginning of the quarter in which the
reclassifications occur.

We generally use the following framework when determining the fair value of investments where there are little, if any, market activity or
observable pricing inputs. We typically determine the fair value of our performing debt investments utilizing an income approach. Additional
consideration is given using a market based approach, as well as reviewing the overall underlying portfolio company's performance and associated
financial risks. The following outlines additional details on the approaches considered:
Company Performance, Financial Review, and Analysis: Prior to investment, as part of our due diligence process, we evaluate the
overall performance and financial stability of the portfolio company. Post investment, we analyze each portfolio company's current operating
performance and relevant financial trends versus prior year and budgeted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting its revenue and
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") growth, margin trends, liquidity position, covenant compliance and
changes to its capital structure. We also attempt to identify and subsequently track any developments at the portfolio company, within its customer
or vendor base or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment, generally, that may alter any material element of our original
63
Table of Contents
investment thesis. This analysis is specific to each portfolio company. We leverage the knowledge gained from our original due diligence process,
augmented by this subsequent monitoring, to continually refine our outlook for each of our portfolio companies and ultimately form the valuation of
our investment in each portfolio company. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, we
will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private valuation.
For debt investments, we may employ the Market Based Approach (as described below) to assess the total enterprise value of the
portfolio company, in order to evaluate the enterprise value coverage of our debt investment. For equity investments or in cases where the Market
Based Approach implies a lack of enterprise value coverage for the debt investment, we may additionally employ a discounted cash flow analysis
based on the free cash flows of the portfolio company to assess the total enterprise value.
After enterprise value coverage is demonstrated for our debt investments through the method(s) above, the Income Based Approach (as
described below) may be employed to estimate the fair value of the investment.
Market Based Approach: We may estimate the total enterprise value of each portfolio company by utilizing market value cash flow
(EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and comparable transactions. We consider numerous factors when selecting the
appropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value our portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of
organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. We may apply an
average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA multiples to the portfolio company's latest twelve month ("LTM") EBITDA or projected
EBITDA to calculate the enterprise value of the portfolio company. Significant increases or decreases in the EBITDA multiple will result in an
increase or decrease in enterprise value, which may result in an increase or decrease in the fair value estimate of the investment. In applying the
market based approach as of December 31, 2015, we used the relevant EBITDA multiple ranges set forth in the table below to determine the
enterprise value of our portfolio companies. We believe this was a reasonable range in light of current comparable company trading levels and the
specific portfolio companies involved.
Income Based Approach: We also may use a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of the investment. Projected cash
flows represent the relevant security's contractual interest, fee and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery at the
investment's expected maturity date. These cash flows are discounted at a rate established utilizing a yield calibration approach, which incorporates
changes in the credit quality (as measured by relevant statistics) of the portfolio company, as compared to changes in the yield associated with
comparable credit quality market indices, between the date of origination and the valuation date. Significant increases or decreases in the discount
rate would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value measurement. In applying the income based approach as of December 31, 2015, we used
the discount ranges set forth in the table below to value investments in our portfolio companies.

NMFC Senior Loan Program I, LLC
NMFC Senior Loan Program I, LLC ("SLP I") was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on May 27, 2014 and commenced
operations on June 10, 2014. SLP I is a portfolio company held by us. SLP I is structured as a private investment fund, in which all of the investors
are qualified purchasers, as such term is defined under the 1940 Act. Transfer of interests in SLP I is subject to restrictions, and as a result, such
interests are not readily marketable. SLP I operates under a limited liability company agreement (the "Agreement") and will continue in existence
until June 10, 2019, subject to earlier termination pursuant to certain terms of the Agreement. The term may be extended for up to one year pursuant
to certain terms of the Agreement. SLP I has a three year re-investment period. SLP I invests in senior secured loans issued by companies within our
core industry verticals. These investments are typically broadly syndicated first lien loans.
SLP I is capitalized with $93.0 million of capital commitments, $275.0 million of debt from a revolving credit facility and is managed by us.
Our capital commitment is $23.0 million, representing less than 25.0% ownership, with third party investors representing the remaining capital
commitment. As of December 31, 2015, SLP I had total investments with an aggregate fair value of approximately $349.7 million, debt outstanding of
$267.6 million and capital that had been called and funded of $93.0 million. As of December 31, 2014, SLP I had total investments with an aggregate
fair value of approximately $369.2 million, debt outstanding of $266.9 million and capital that had been called and funded of $93.0 million. Our
investment in SLP I is disclosed on our Consolidated Schedules of Investments as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
We, as an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, act as the collateral manager to SLP I and are entitled to receive a
management fee for our investment management services provided to SLP I. As a result, SLP I is classified as our affiliate. No management fee is
charged on our investment in SLP I in connection with the administrative services provided to SLP I. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and
December 31, 2014, we earned approximately $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in management fees related to SLP I which is included in
other income. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of management fees related
to SLP I was included in receivable from affiliates. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we earned approximately $3.6
million and $1.1 million, respectively, of dividend income related to SLP I, which is included in dividend
65
Table of Contents
income. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of dividend income related to SLP
I was included in interest and dividend receivable. We did not earn management fees or dividend income for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Collateralized agreements or repurchase financings
We follow the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing—Secured Borrowing and Collateral,
("ASC 860") when accounting for transactions involving the purchases of securities under collateralized agreements to resell (resale agreements).
These transactions are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at their contracted resale or repurchase amounts, as
specified in the respective agreements. Interest on collateralized agreements is accrued and recognized over the life of the transaction and included
in interest income. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we held one collateralized agreement to resell with a cost basis of $30.0 million
and $30.0 million, respectively, and a carrying value of $29.7 million and $30.0 million, respectively, collateralized by a second lien bond in Northstar
GOM Holdings Group LLC with a fair value of $29.7 million and $30.0 million, respectively, and guaranteed by a private hedge fund with
approximately $716.6 million and $769.4 million, respectively, of assets under management. Pursuant to the terms of the collateralized agreement, the
private hedge fund is obligated to repurchase the collateral from us at the par value of the collateralized agreement once called upon by us or if the
private hedge fund's total assets under management fall below the agreed upon thresholds. The collateralized agreement earned interest at a
weighted average rate of 15.0% per annum as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Sales and paydowns of investments: Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification method.
Interest and dividend income: Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is
recorded on the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the
prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. We have loans and certain preferred equity
investments in the portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest or dividend provision. PIK interest and dividends are accrued and
recorded as income at the contractual rates, if deemed collectible. The PIK interest and dividends are added to the principal or share balances on the
capitalization dates and generally due at maturity or when redeemed by the issuer.
Dividend income on common equity is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly
traded portfolio companies. Dividend income on preferred securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such
amounts are deemed collectible.
Non-accrual income: Investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more and
when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest or dividends are reversed
when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends are not 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 of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due principal
and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current.
Other income: Other income represents delayed compensation, consent or amendment fees, revolver fees, structuring fees, upfront fees,
management fees from a non-controlled/affiliated investment and other miscellaneous fees received and are typically non-recurring in nature.
Delayed compensation is income earned from counterparties on trades that do not settle within a set number of business days after trade date.
Other income may also include fees from bridge loans. We may from time to time enter into bridge financing commitments, an obligation to provide
interim financing to a counterparty until permanent credit can be obtained. These commitments are short-term in nature and may expire unfunded. A
fee is received for providing such commitments. Structuring fees and upfront fees are recognized as income when earned, usually when paid at the
closing of the investment and are non-refundable.

Prior to the Restructuring, our revenue recognition policies were as follows:
Revenue, expenses, and capital gains (losses): At each quarterly valuation date, the Predecessor Operating Company’s investment
income, expenses, net realized gains (losses), and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were allocated to us based on our
pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Predecessor Operating Company. This was recorded on our Statements of Operations. Realized gains and
losses are recorded upon sales of our investments in the Predecessor Operating Company. Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investment in New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. is the difference between the net asset value per share and the closing price per share for
shares issued as part of the dividend reinvestment plan on the dividend payment date. This net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investment in New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from the IPO. We used the proceeds from
our IPO and Concurrent Private Placement to purchase units in the Predecessor Operating Company at $13.75 per unit (our IPO price per share). At
the IPO date, $13.75 per unit represented a discount to the actual net asset value per unit of the Predecessor Operating Company. As a result, we
experienced immediate unrealized appreciation on our investment.
All expenses were paid and recorded by the Predecessor Operating Company. Expenses were allocated to us based on pro-rata ownership
interest. In addition, the Predecessor Operating Company paid all of the offering costs related to the IPO and subsequent offerings. We recorded
our portion of the offering costs as a direct reduction to net assets and the cost of our investment in the Predecessor Operating Company.
Monitoring of Portfolio Investments
We monitor the performance and financial trends of our portfolio companies on at least a quarterly basis. We attempt to identify any
developments within the portfolio company, the industry or the macroeconomic environment that may alter any material element of our original
investment strategy.
We use an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the credit profile and expected level of returns on each investment in the
portfolio. We use a four-level numeric rating scale as follows:
•
•
•
•
Investment Rating 1—Investment is performing materially above expectations;
Investment Rating 2—Investment is performing materially in-line with expectations. All new loans are rated 2 at initial purchase;
Investment Rating 3—Investment is performing materially below expectations and risk has increased materially since the original
investment; and
Investment Rating 4—Investment is performing substantially below expectations and risks have increased substantially since the
original investment. Payments may be delinquent. There is meaningful possibility that we will not recoup its original cost basis in the
investment and may realize a substantial loss upon exit.
The following table shows the distribution of our investments on the 1 to 4 investment rating scale at fair value as of December 31, 2015:

During the first quarter of 2015, we placed a portion of our second lien position in Edmentum, Inc. (“Edmentum”) on non-accrual status due
to its ongoing restructuring. As of March 31, 2015, our investment in Edmentum had an aggregate cost basis of $30.8 million, an aggregate fair value
of $15.6 million and total unearned interest income of $0.4 million for the three months then ended. In June 2015, Edmentum completed a
restructuring which resulted in a material modification of the original terms and an extinguishment of our original investment in Edmentum. Prior to
the extinguishment in June 2015, our original investment in Edmentum had an aggregate cost of $31.6 million, an aggregate fair value of $16.4 million
and total unearned interest income of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The extinguishment resulted in a realized loss of $15.2
million. Post restructuring, our investments in Edmentum have been restored to full accrual status. As of December 31, 2015, our investments in
Edmentum have an aggregate cost basis of $20.9 million and an aggregate fair value of $22.8 million.
During the first quarter of 2015, our first lien position in Education Management LLC (“EDMC”) was non-income producing as a result of
the portfolio company undergoing a restructuring. As of December 31, 2014, our investment in EDMC had an aggregate cost basis of $3.0 million, an
aggregate fair value of $1.4 million and no unearned interest income for the three months then ended. In January 2015, EDMC completed a
restructuring which resulted in a material modification of the original terms and an extinguishment of our original investment in EDMC. Prior to the
extinguishment in January 2015, our original investment in EDMC had an aggregate cost of $3.0 million, an aggregate fair value of $1.4 million and
no unearned interest income for the period then ended. The extinguishment resulted in a realized loss of $1.6 million. Post restructuring, our
investments in EDMC are income producing. As of December 31, 2015, our investments in EDMC have an aggregate cost basis of $1.4 million and
an aggregate fair value of $0.5 million.
During the third quarter of 2014, we placed a portion of our first lien position in UniTek Global Services, Inc. ("UniTek") on non-accrual
status in anticipation of a voluntary petition for a "Pre-Packaged" Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
which was filed on November 3, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, our investment in UniTek had an aggregate cost basis of $47.4 million, an aggregate
fair value of $35.2 million and total unearned interest income of $1.0 million for the year then ended. In January 2015, UniTek emerged from “Pre-
Packaged” Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and completed its restructuring. The restructuring resulted in a material modification of the original terms and an
extinguishment of our original investments in UniTek. Prior to the extinguishment in January 2015, our original investments in UniTek had an
aggregate cost of $52.9 million, an aggregate fair value of $40.1 million and total unearned interest income of $0.1 million for the period then ended.
The extinguishment resulted in a realized loss of $12.8 million. Post restructuring, our investments in UniTek have been restored to full accrual
status. As of December 31, 2015, our investments in UniTek have an aggregate cost basis of $41.3 million and an aggregate fair value of $47.4
million.
As of December 31, 2015, our two super priority first lien positions in ATI Acquisition Company and related equity positions in Ancora
Acquisition LLC had an Investment Rating of 4 due to the underlying business encountering significant regulatory constraints which have led to
the portfolio company's underperformance. As of December 31, 2015, our two super priority first lien positions in ATI Acquisition Company and its
related preferred shares and warrants in Ancora Acquisition LLC remained on non-accrual status due to the inability of the portfolio company to
service its interest payments for the year then ended and uncertainty about its ability to pay such amounts in the future. As of December 31, 2015,
our investment had an aggregate cost basis of $1.6 million, an aggregate fair value of $0.4 million and total unearned interest income of $0.1 million
for the year then ended. As of December 31, 2014, our total investment in ATI Acquisition Company and Ancora Acquisition LLC had an aggregate
cost basis of $1.6 million, an aggregate fair value of $0.4 million and total unearned interest income of $0.3 million for the year then ended. As of
December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, unrealized gains (losses) include a fee that we would recognize upon realization of the two super priority
first lien debt investments.
Portfolio and Investment Activity
The fair value of our investments was approximately $1,512.2 million in 75 portfolio companies at December 31, 2015 and approximately
$1,424.7 million in 71 portfolio companies at December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2013 our only investment was our investment in the Predecessor
Operating Company. The fair value of the Predecessor Operating Company's investments was approximately $1,115.7 million in 59 portfolio

Recent Accounting Standards Updates
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing Topic 860—Repurchase-to-Maturity
Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (“ASU 2014-11”). ASU 2014-11 changes the accounting for repurchase- and resale-to-
maturity agreements by requiring that such agreements be recognized as financing arrangements, and requires that a transfer of a financial asset
and a repurchase agreement entered into contemporaneously be accounted for separately. ASU 2014-11 requires additional disclosures about
certain transferred financial assets accounted for as sales and certain securities financing transactions. The accounting changes and additional
disclosures about certain transferred financial assets accounted for as sales are effective for the first interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2014. The additional disclosures for securities financing transactions are required for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2014 and for interim reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-11 did not have a material impact on
our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern
Subtopic 205-40—Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 will
explicitly require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosure in certain
circumstances. The new standard will be effective for all entities in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. Earlier adoption is
permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation Topic 810—Amendments to the
Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which modifies the consolidation analysis in determining if limited partnerships or similar type entities fall
under the variable interest model or voting interest model, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-
02 will be effective for all public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted.
We are in the process of evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest Subtopic 835-30—
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial
statements. Under ASU 2015-03, an entity presents such costs on the statement of assets and liabilities as a direct deduction from the related debt
liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The new standard will be effective for all public entities
for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the
impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement Topic 820—Disclosures for
Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) (“ASU 2015-07”), which amends the presentation of
investments measured at net asset value, as a practical expedient for fair value, from the fair

Table of Contents
value hierarchy. Under ASU 2015-07, an entity would remove investments measured using the practical expedient from the fair value hierarchy. ASU
2015-07 will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2015. We are in the process of evaluating the impact that this
guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Results of Operations
Under GAAP, our IPO did not step-up the cost basis of the Predecessor Operating Company's existing investments to fair market value at
the IPO date. Since the total value of the Predecessor Operating Company's investments at the time of the IPO was greater than the investments'
cost basis, a larger amount of amortization of purchase or original issue discount, and different amounts in realized gain and unrealized appreciation,
may be recognized under GAAP in each period than if the step-up had occurred. This will remain until such predecessor investments are sold,
repaid or mature in the future. We track the transferred (or fair market) value of each of the Predecessor Operating Company's investments as of the
time of the IPO and, for purposes of the incentive fee calculation, adjusts income as if each investment was purchased at the date of the IPO (or
stepped up to fair market value). The respective "Adjusted Net Investment Income" (defined as net investment income adjusted to reflect income as
if the cost basis of investments held at the IPO date had stepped-up to fair market value as of the IPO date) is used in calculating both the incentive
fee and dividend payments. See Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 5, Agreements for additional details.
The following table for the year ended December 31, 2015 is adjusted to reflect the step-up to fair market value and the allocation of the
incentive fees related to hypothetical capital gains out of the adjusted post-incentive fee net investment income.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, we incurred total incentive fees of $20.6 million, of which none was related to the capital gains
incentive fee accrual on a hypothetical liquidation basis.
Includes income from non-controlled/non-affiliated investments, non-controlled/affiliated investments and controlled investments.
Includes expense waivers and reimbursements of $0.7 million and management fee waivers of $5.2 million.
Includes net realized gains and losses on investments and net change in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation of investments from non-
controlled/non-affiliated investments, non-controlled/affiliated investments and controlled investments.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, we had a $0.1 million adjustment to interest income for amortization, a decrease of $0.1 million to net
realized losses and an increase of $0.2 million to net change in unrealized depreciation to adjust for the stepped-up cost basis of the transferred
investments as discussed above. For the year ended December 31, 2015, total

Table of Contents
adjusted investment income of $153.7 million consisted of approximately $130.0 million in cash interest from investments, approximately $3.9 million
in PIK interest from investments, approximately $3.6 million in prepayment fees, net amortization of purchase premiums and discounts of
approximately $2.4 million, approximately $3.2 million in cash dividends from investments, $2.6 million in PIK dividends from investments and
approximately $8.0 million in other income. Our Adjusted Net Investment Income was $82.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
In accordance with GAAP, for the year ended December 31, 2015, we did not have an accrual for hypothetical capital gains incentive fee
based upon the cumulative net Adjusted Realized Capital Gains and Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and the cumulative net Adjusted Unrealized
Capital Appreciation and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on investments held at the end of the period. Actual amounts paid to the
Investment Adviser are consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and are based only on actual Adjusted Realized Capital Gains
computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception through
the end of each calendar year as if the entire portfolio was sold at fair value. As of December 31, 2015, no actual capital gains incentive fee was
owed under the Investment Management Agreement, as cumulative net Adjusted Realized Gains did not exceed cumulative Adjusted Unrealized
Depreciation.
The following table for the year ended December 31, 2014 is adjusted to reflect the step-up to fair market value and the allocation of the
incentive fees related to hypothetical capital gains out of the adjusted post-incentive fee net investment income.

Our total investment income increased by approximately $18.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to total
investment income for the year ended December 31, 2014. The 13% increase in total investment income primarily results from an increase in interest
income of approximately $14.4 million from the year ended December 31, 2014 to the year ended December 31, 2015, which is attributable to larger
invested balances, driven by the proceeds from the September 2015 primary offering of our common stock, our use of leverage from our revolving
credit facilities, SBA-guaranteed debentures and the deployment of the June 2014 proceeds from the issuance of $115.0 million of convertible notes
to originate new investments, and prepayment fees received associated with the early repayments or partial repayments of nine different portfolio
companies held as of December 31, 2014. The increase in dividend income of approximately $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to distributions from our investment in SLP I and PIK dividends income
from an equity position. The increase in other income, which represents fees that are generally non-recurring in nature, of approximately $2.7 million
during the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to structuring, upfront,
amendment and consent fees received from 22 different portfolio companies, commitment fees received from three bridge facilities and management
fees from a non-controlled/affiliated portfolio company.
Our total investment income increased by approximately $20.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the
Predecessor Operating Company's total investment income for the year ended December 31, 2013. The 18% increase in total investment income
primarily results from an increase in interest income of approximately $18.6 million from the year ended December 31, 2013 to the year ended
December 31, 2014, which is attributable to larger invested balances, driven by the proceeds from the October 2013, April 2014 and October 2014
primary offerings of our common stock and the June 2014 offering of our convertible notes, our use of leverage from our revolving credit facilities to
originate new investments, and prepayment fees received associated with the early repayments or partial repayments of ten different portfolio
companies held by the Predecessor Operating Company as of December 31, 2013. The increase in other income of approximately $2.5 million during
the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, which represents fees that are generally non-recurring in
nature, was primarily attributable to structuring, amendment and consent fees received from 20 different portfolio companies and management fees
from a non-controlled affiliated portfolio company. The decrease in dividend income during the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the
year ended

Our total net operating expenses increased by approximately $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 2014. Our management fee increased by approximately $1.7 million, net of a management fee waiver, and incentive fees
increased by approximately $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in
management fee and incentive fee from the year ended December 31, 2014 to the year ended December 31, 2015 was attributable to larger invested
balances, driven by the proceeds from the September 2015 primary offering of our common stock, our use of leverage from our revolving credit
facilities, SBA-guaranteed debentures and the deployment of the June 2014 Proceeds from the issuance of $115.0 million of convertible notes to
originate new investments. No capital gains incentive fee was accrued for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Interest and other financing expenses increased by approximately $5.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to
our issuance of $115.0 million of convertible notes, the closing of the NMFC Credit Facility (as defined below) during the second quarter of 2014
and the drawing on SBA-guaranteed debentures beginning in the fourth quarter of

2014. Our total professional fees, total administrative expenses and total other general and administrative expenses marginally decreased by
approximately $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. Our expenses waived and
reimbursed decreased by approximately $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 due to
the expiration of the expense cap on March 31, 2014.
Our total net operating expenses increased by approximately $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the
Predecessor Operating Company's year ended December 31, 2013. Our management fee increased by approximately $4.0 million, net of a
management fee waiver, and incentive fees increased by approximately $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the
Predecessor Operating Company's year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in management fee and incentive fee from the Predecessor
Operating Company's year ended December 31, 2013 to our year ended December 31, 2014 was attributable to larger invested balances, driven by
the proceeds from the October 2013, April 2014 and October 2014 primary offerings of our common stock, the June 2014 offering of our convertible
notes and our use of leverage from our revolving credit facilities to originate new investments. Our capital gains incentive fee accrual decreased by
approximately $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the Predecessor Operating Company's year ended December 31,
2013, which was attributable to lower net Adjusted Realized Capital Gains (Losses) and net Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation of investments
during the period due to lower marks on the broader portfolio. As of December 31, 2014, no actual capital gains incentive fee was owed under the
Investment Management Agreement, as cumulative net Adjusted Realized Gains did not exceed cumulative Adjusted Unrealized Depreciation.
Interest and other financing expenses increased by approximately $5.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to
the increase of average debt outstanding from $184.1 million to $244.6 million for the Holdings Credit Facility (as defined below) for the year ended
December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2014. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2014, we issued $115.0 million of convertible
notes, closed the NMFC Credit Facility (as defined below) and began to draw on SBA-guaranteed debentures. Our total professional fees, total
administrative expenses and total other general and administrative expenses marginally increased by approximately $0.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2014 as compared to the Predecessor Operating Company's year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014,
we incurred $10.9 thousand in other expenses that were not subject to the expense cap pursuant to the administration agreement, as amended and
restated (the "Administration Agreement"), with the Administrator, and further restricted by us. For the year ended December 31, 2014,
approximately $1.4 million of indirect administrative expenses were included in administrative expenses, of which $0.8 million were waived by the
Administrator. Our expenses waived and reimbursed decreased by approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to
the Predecessor Operating Company's year ended December 31, 2013 due to the expiration of the expense cap on March 31, 2014 and the decrease
of waived indirect administrative expenses by the Administrator during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Our net realized and unrealized losses resulted in a net loss of approximately $49.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared
to the net realized gain and unrealized losses resulting in a net loss of approximately $34.5 million for the same period in 2014. We look at net realized
and unrealized gains or losses together as movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of realizations. The net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2015 was primarily driven by the overall decrease in the market prices of our investments during the period and $29.7
million of realized losses on investments resulting from the modification of terms on three portfolio companies that were accounted for as
extinguishments.

Table of Contents
These losses were partially offset by sales or repayments of investments with fair values in excess of December 31, 2014 valuations, resulting in net
realized gains being greater than the reversal of the cumulative net unrealized gains for those investments which included the sale of two portfolio
companies resulting in realized gains of approximately $14.2 million. The provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to three equity
investments that are held as of December 31, 2015 in three of our corporate subsidiaries.
The net realized and unrealized losses resulted in a net loss of approximately $34.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared
to the Predecessor Operating Company's net realized and unrealized gains resulting in a net gain of approximately $15.2 million for the same period
in 2013. We look at net realized and unrealized gains or losses together as movement in unrealized appreciation or depreciation can be the result of
realizations. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily driven by the overall decrease in the market prices of our investments
during the period and the partial write-down related to two portfolio companies. These losses were partially offset by a $5.6 million gain from the
sale of NMF Holdings' warrant investments in one portfolio company and sales or repayments of investments with fair values in excess of
December 31, 2013 valuations resulting in net realized gains being greater than the reversal of the cumulative net unrealized gains for those
investments. The provision for income taxes was attributable to one warrant investment that is held as of December 31, 2014 in one of our corporate
subsidiaries.
The net gain for the year ended December 31, 2013 was primarily driven by sales or repayment of investments with fair values in excess of
December 31, 2012 valuations, resulting in net realized gains being greater than the reversal of the cumulative net unrealized gains for those
investments. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2013, a distribution from a warrant investment resulted in a realized gain of
approximately $1.1 million, the modification of terms on one debt investment that was accounted for as an extinguishment resulted in a realized gain
of $1.7 million and the sale of the first lien position in ATI Acquisition Company resulted in a realized loss of $4.3 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary use of existing funds and any funds raised in the future is expected to be for repayment of indebtedness, investments in
portfolio companies, cash distributions to our stockholders or for other general corporate purposes.
Since our IPO, and through December 31, 2015, we raised approximately $454.0 million in net proceeds from additional offerings of common
stock and issued shares of common stock valued at approximately $288.4 million on behalf of AIV Holdings for exchanged units. We acquired from
the Predecessor Operating Company units of the Predecessor Operating Company equal to the number of shares of our common stock sold in the
additional offerings.
On September 25, 2015, we completed a public offering of 5,750,000 shares of common stock (including 750,000 shares of common stock
that were issued pursuant to the full exercise of the option granted to the underwriters to purchase additional shares) at a public offering price of
$14.14 per share, which resulted in net proceeds of $79.4 million. Steven B. Klinsky, the Chairman of our board of directors, purchased 500,000
shares in this offering at the public offering price.
Our liquidity is generated and generally available through advances from the revolving credit facilities, from cash flows from operations,
and, we expect, through periodic follow-on equity offerings. In addition, we may from time to time enter into additional debt facilities, increase the
size of existing facilities or issue additional debt securities, including unsecured debt and/or debt securities convertible into common stock. Any
such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions
and other factors. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset
coverage, calculated pursuant to the 1940 Act, is at least 200.0% after such borrowing.
At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $30.1 million and $23.4 million,
respectively, and at December 31, 2013, the Predecessor Operating Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15.0 million. Our cash
used in operating activities during the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, was approximately $(63.3) million and $(289.6) million,
respectively, and cash used in operating activities for the Predecessor Operating Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately
$(40.4) million. Refer to the Predecessor Operating Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the period January 1, 2014 to May 7, 2014
included in an exhibit attached hereto. We expect that all current liquidity needs will be met with cash flows from operations and other activities.
Borrowings
Holdings Credit Facility—On December 18, 2014 we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the
"Holdings Credit Facility"), among us, as the Collateral Manager, NMF Holdings as the Borrower, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as the Administrative
Agent and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Lender and Collateral Custodian, which is structured as a revolving credit facility and
matures on December 18, 2019.

Table of Contents
Immediately prior to amending the Holdings Credit Facility, NMF SLF merged with and into NMF Holdings. The Holdings Credit Facility
effectively amended and restated the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility (as defined below), merged with the SLF Credit Facility (as defined
below), and combined the amount of borrowings previously available.
The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the Holdings Credit Facility is $495.0 million, which is the aggregate of the
$280.0 million previously available under the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility (as defined below) and the $215.0 million previously available
under the SLF Credit Facility (as defined below). Under the Holdings Credit Facility, NMF Holdings is permitted to borrow up to 25.0%, 45.0% or
70.0% of the purchase price of pledged assets, subject to approval by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. The Holdings Credit Facility is non-recourse to
us and is collateralized by all of the investments of NMF Holdings on an investment by investment basis. All fees associated with the origination or
upsizing of the Holdings Credit Facility are capitalized on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and charged against income as other
financing expenses over the life of the Holdings Credit Facility. The Holdings Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative
covenants and events of default. In addition, the Holdings Credit Facility requires us to maintain a minimum asset coverage ratio. The covenants are
generally not tied to mark to market fluctuations in the prices of NMF Holdings investments, but rather to the performance of the underlying
portfolio companies.
The Holdings Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of the LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum for Broadly Syndicated Loans (as defined in the
Loan and Security Agreement) and LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum for all other investments. The Holdings Credit Facility also charges a non-usage
fee, based on the unused facility amount multiplied by the Non-Usage Fee Rate (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement).
Prior to December 18, 2014, the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended and restated, dated May 19, 2011 (the "Predecessor Holdings
Credit Facility") among NMF Holdings as the Borrower and Collateral Administrator, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as the Administrative Agent, and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral Custodian, was structured as a revolving credit facility and would mature on October 27,
2016.
The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility was $280.0 million. Until
December 18, 2014, NMF Holdings was permitted to borrow up to 45.0% or 25.0% of the purchase price of pledged first lien or non-first lien debt
securities, and up to 70.0% and 45.0% of the purchase price of specified first lien debt securities and specified non-first lien debt securities,
respectively, subject to approval by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility was amended and restated
on May 6, 2014 and as a result, it was non-recourse to us and was collateralized by all of the investments of NMF Holdings on an investment by
investment basis. All fees associated with the origination or upsizing of the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility were capitalized on our
Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and charged against income as other financing expenses over the life of the Predecessor Holdings
Credit Facility. The Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility contained certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default,
including the occurrence of a change in control. In addition, the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility required us to maintain a minimum asset
coverage ratio. However, the covenants were generally not tied to mark to market fluctuations in the prices of NMF Holdings' investments, but
rather to the performance of the underlying portfolio companies.
The Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility bore interest at a rate of the LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum and charged a non-usage fee, based on
the unused facility amount multiplied by the Non-Usage Fee Rate (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement).
The following table summarizes the interest expense, non-usage fees and amortization of financing costs incurred, together, on the
Holdings Credit Facility and the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility for the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31,
2013.

As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance on the Holdings Credit Facility was $419.3 million and $468.1
million, respectively, and as of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility was $221.8 million, and NMF
Holdings was in compliance with the applicable covenants in the Holdings Credit Facility and Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility on such dates.
SLF Credit Facility—NMF SLF's Loan and Security Agreement, as amended and restated, dated October 27, 2010 (the "SLF Credit
Facility") among NMF SLF as the Borrower, NMF Holdings as the Collateral Administrator, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as the Administrative
Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral Custodian, was structured as a revolving credit facility and was set to mature
on October 27, 2016. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the SLF Credit Facility was $215.0 million. The SLF Credit
Facility was non-recourse to us and secured by all assets of NMF SLF on an investment by investment basis. All fees associated with the
origination or upsizing of the SLF Credit Facility were capitalized on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and charged against
income as other financing expenses over the life of the SLF Credit Facility. The SLF Credit Facility contained certain customary affirmative and
negative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a change in control. The covenants were generally not tied to mark to market
fluctuations in the prices of the NMF SLF's investments, but rather to the performance of the underlying portfolio companies. NMF SLF was not
restricted from the purchase or sale of loans with an affiliate. Therefore, specified first lien loans could be moved as collateral between the Holdings
Credit Facility and the SLF Credit Facility. The SLF Credit Facility merged with the Holdings Credit Facility on December 18, 2014.
Until December 18, 2014, the SLF Credit Facility permitted borrowings of up to 70.0% of the purchase price of pledged first lien debt
securities and up to 25.0% of the purchase price of specified second lien loans, of which, up to 25.0% of the aggregate outstanding loan balance of
all pledged debt securities in the SLF Credit Facility was allowed to be derived from second lien loans, subject to approval by Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association.
The SLF Credit Facility bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum for first lien loans and LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum for
second lien loans, respectively, as amended on March 11, 2013. A non-usage fee was paid, based on the unused facility amount multiplied by the
Non-Usage Fee Rate (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement).
The following table summarizes the interest expense, non-usage fees and amortization of financing costs incurred on the SLF Credit

guarantee and security agreement, the "NMFC Credit Facility"), among us as the Borrower, Goldman Sachs Bank USA as the Administrative Agent

Table of Contents
The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the NMFC Credit Facility is $95.0 million, as amended on June 26, 2015. We
are permitted to borrow at various advance rates depending on the type of portfolio investment as outlined in the Senior Secured Revolving Credit
Agreement. All fees associated with the origination of the NMFC Credit Facility are capitalized on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and
Liabilities and charged against income as other financing expenses over the life of the NMFC Credit Facility. The NMFC Credit Facility contains
certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including certain financial covenants related to asset coverage and
liquidity and other maintenance covenants.
The NMFC Credit Facility generally bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum or the prime rate plus 1.50% per annum, and
charges a commitment fee, based on the unused facility amount multiplied by 0.375% per annum (as defined in the Senior Secured Revolving Credit

Convertible Notes—On June 3, 2014, we closed a private offering of $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured
convertible notes (the "Convertible Notes"), pursuant to an indenture, dated June 3, 2014 (the "Indenture"). The Convertible Notes were issued in a
private placement only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. As of the first anniversary, June 3,
2015, of the Convertible Notes, the restrictions under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 were removed, allowing the Convertible Notes to
be eligible and freely tradeable without restrictions for resale pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933. The Convertible Notes
bear interest at an annual rate of 5.0%, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, which commenced on
December 15, 2014. The Convertible Notes will mature on June 15, 2019 unless earlier converted or repurchased at the holder's option.

Conversion rates denominated in shares of common stock per $1.0 thousand principal amount of the Convertible Notes converted.
Represents conversion rate and conversion price, as applicable, taking into account certain de minimis adjustments that will be made on the
conversion date.
The conversion price in effect at December 31, 2015 was calculated on the last anniversary of the issuance and will be adjusted again on the
next anniversary, unless the exercise price shall have changed by more than 1.0% before the anniversary.
(3)
The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits and combinations, mergers, spin-offs, increases
in dividends in excess of $0.34 per share per quarter and certain changes in control. Certain of these adjustments, including adjustments for
increases in dividends, are subject to a conversion price floor of $14.16 per share. In no event will the total number of shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion exceed 70.6214 per $1.0 thousand principal amount of the Convertible Notes. We have determined that the embedded
conversion option in the Convertible Notes is not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under GAAP.
The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to our existing and future indebtedness that is
expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness
that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness
that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future
indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries and financing vehicles. As reflected in Item 8.—Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data—Note 12, Earnings Per Share, the issuance is considered part of the if-converted method for calculation of diluted earnings
per share.
We may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to maturity. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes. In addition, if certain
corporate events, holders of the Convertible Notes may require us to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price
equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest through, but excluding, the
repurchase date.
The Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring us to provide financial information to the holders of the
Convertible Note and the Trustee if we cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. These covenants are subject to
limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.

SBA-guaranteed debentures—On August 1, 2014, SBIC LP received an SBIC license from the SBA.
The SBIC license allows SBIC LP to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures, subject to the issuance of a capital
commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. SBA-guaranteed debentures are non-recourse to us, interest only debentures with
interest payable semi-annually and have a ten year maturity. The principal amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures is not required to be paid prior to
maturity but may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The interest rate of SBA-guaranteed debentures is fixed on a semi-annual basis at a
market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with ten year maturities. The SBA, as a creditor, will have a superior claim to the assets of SBIC LP
over our stockholders in the event SBIC LP is liquidated or the SBA exercises remedies upon an event of default.
The maximum amount of borrowings available under current SBA regulations is $150.0 million as long as the licensee has at least $75.0
million in regulatory capital, receives a capital commitment from the SBA and has been through an examination by the SBA subsequent to licensing.
As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, SBIC LP had regulatory capital of approximately $72.4 million and $42.2 million,
respectively, and SBA-guaranteed debentures outstanding of $117.7 million and $37.5 million, respectively. The SBA-guaranteed debentures incur
upfront fees of 3.425%, which consists of a 1.00% commitment fee and a 2.425% issuance discount, which are amortized over the life of the SBA-
guaranteed debentures. The following table summarizes our fixed-rate SBA-guaranteed debentures as of December 31, 2015.

Estimated maturity date as interim SBA-guaranteed debentures are expected to pool in March 2016.
Prior to pooling, the SBA-guaranteed debentures bear interest at an interim floating rate of LIBOR plus 0.30%. Once pooled, which occurs
in March and September each year, the SBA-guaranteed debentures bear interest at a fixed rate that is set to the current 10-year treasury rate plus a
spread at each pooling date.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, amounts reported relate to the period from August 1, 2014 (receipt of the SBIC license) to
December 31, 2014. The initial SBA-guaranteed debenture borrowing occurred on November 17, 2014.

The SBIC program is designed to stimulate the flow of private investor capital into eligible small businesses, as defined by the SBA. Under
SBA regulations, SBIC LP is subject to regulatory requirements, including making investments in SBA-eligible businesses, investing at least 25.0%
of its investment capital in eligible smaller businesses, as defined under the 1958 Act, placing certain limitations on the financing terms of
investments, regulating the types of financing, prohibiting investments in small businesses with certain characteristics or in certain industries and
requiring capitalization thresholds that limit distributions to us. SBIC LP is subject to an annual periodic examination by an SBA examiner to
determine SBIC LP's compliance with the relevant SBA regulations and an annual financial audit of its financial statements that are prepared on a
basis of accounting other than GAAP (such as ASC 820) by an independent auditor. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, SBIC LP was
in compliance with SBA regulatory requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We may become a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had outstanding
commitments to third parties to fund investments totaling $26.3 million and $27.4 million respectively, under various undrawn revolving credit
facilities, delayed draw commitments or other future funding commitments.
We may from time to time enter into financing commitment letters or bridge financing commitments, which could require funding in the
future. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not enter into any commitment letters to purchase debt investments. As of
December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had not entered into any bridge financing commitments which could require funding in the future.

2015) must be repaid on or before June 4, 2019. As of December 31, 2015, there was approximately $5.0 million of possible capacity remaining
under the NMFC Credit Facility.
We have certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. We have $26.3 million of undrawn funding commitments as
of December 31, 2015 related to our participation as a lender in revolving credit facilities, delayed draw commitments or other future funding
commitments of our portfolio companies. As of December 31, 2015, we had not entered into any bridge financing commitments or commitment letters
which could require funding in the future.
We have entered into the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Adviser in accordance with the 1940 Act. Under the
Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser has agreed to provide us with investment advisory and management services. We
have agreed to pay for these services (1) a management fee and (2) an incentive fee based on our performance.
We have also entered into an Administration Agreement with the Administrator. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator
has agreed to arrange office space for us and provide office equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services and other
administrative services necessary to conduct our respective day-to-day operations. The Administrator has also agreed to perform, or oversee the
performance of, our financial records, our reports to stockholders and reports filed with the SEC.
If any of the contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs under any new agreements that are entered into may
increase. In addition, we would likely incur significant time and expense in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive
under the Investment Management Agreement and the Administration Agreement.

Special dividend related to estimated realized capital gains attributable to the Predecessor Operating Company's warrant investments in
Learning Care Group (US), Inc.
Tax characteristics of all dividends paid are reported to stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the calendar year. Future quarterly
dividends, if any, will be determined by our board of directors.
We intend to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders in amounts sufficient to maintain our status as a RIC. We intend to distribute
approximately all of our Adjusted Net Investment Income on a quarterly basis and substantially all of our taxable income on an annual basis, except
that we may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.
We maintain an "opt out" dividend reinvestment plan on behalf of our common stockholders, pursuant to which each of our stockholders'
cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, unless the stockholder elects to receive cash. See Item 8—
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional details regarding our dividend
reinvestment plan.
Related Parties
We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
• We have entered into the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Adviser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New
Mountain Capital. Therefore, New Mountain Capital is entitled to any profits earned by the Investment Adviser, which includes any
fees payable to the Investment Adviser under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, less expenses incurred by the
Investment Adviser in performing its services under the Investment Management Agreement.
• We have entered into an Administration Agreement with the Administrator, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital. The
Administrator arranges our office space and provides office equipment and administrative services necessary to conduct our
respective day-to-day operations pursuant to the Administration Agreement. We reimburse the Administrator for the allocable portion
of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations to us under the Administration Agreement, which includes
the fees and expenses associated with performing administrative, finance, and compliance functions, and the compensation of our
chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement and further
restricted by us, expenses payable to the Administrator as well as other direct and indirect expenses (excluding
84
Table of Contents
interest, other financing expense, trading expenses and management and incentive fees) had been capped at $3.5 million for the time
period from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 and capped at $4.25 million for the time period from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. The
expense cap expired on March 31, 2014. Thereafter, the Administrator may, in its own discretion, submit to us for reimbursement some
or all of the expenses that the Administrator has incurred on our behalf during any quarterly period. As a result, the amount of
expenses for which we will have to reimburse the Administrator may fluctuate in future quarterly periods and there can be no
assurance given as to when, or if, the Administrator may determine to limit the expenses that the Administrator submits to us for
reimbursement in the future. However, it is expected that the Administrator will continue to support part of our expense burden in the
near future and may decide to not calculate and charge through certain overhead related amounts as well as continue to cover some of
the indirect costs. The Administrator cannot recoup any expenses that the Administrator has previously waived. For the year ended
December 31, 2015, approximately $1.4 million of indirect administrative expenses were included in administrative expenses, of which
$0.7 million were waived by the Administrator. As of December 31, 2015, approximately $0.4 million were payable to the Administrator.
• We, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator have entered into a royalty-free Trademark License Agreement, as amended, with
New Mountain Capital, pursuant to which New Mountain Capital has agreed to grant us, the Investment Adviser and the
Administrator, a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name "New Mountain" and "New Mountain Finance".
In addition, we have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of our respective officers and directors. These officers and
directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by the 1940 Act, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability
Company Act.
The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in
whole and in part, with our investment mandates. The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may determine that an investment is appropriate for us
and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment and other appropriate factors, the
Investment Adviser or its affiliates may determine that we should invest side-by-side with one or more other funds. Any such investments will be
made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff, and consistent with the Investment Adviser's
allocation procedures.
Concurrently with the IPO, we sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of our common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other
individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital in the Concurrent Private Placement.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to certain financial market risks, such as interest rate fluctuations. During the year ended December 31, 2015, certain of the
loans held in our portfolio had floating interest rates. As of December 31, 2015, approximately 86.8% of investments at fair value (excluding
investments on non-accrual, revolvers, delayed draws and non-interest bearing equity investments) represent floating-rate investments with a
LIBOR floor (includes investments bearing prime interest rate contracts) and approximately 13.2% of investments at fair value represent fixed-rate
investments. Additionally, our senior secured revolving credit facilities are also subject to floating interest rates and are currently paid based on
one-month floating LIBOR rates.
The following table estimates the potential changes in net cash flow generated from interest income and expenses, should interest rates
increase by 100, 200 or 300 basis points, or decrease by 25 basis points. Interest income is calculated as revenue from interest generated from our
portfolio of investments held on December 31, 2015. Interest expense is calculated based on the terms of our outstanding revolving credit facilities
and convertible notes. For our floating rate credit facilities, we use the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2015. Interest expense on our
floating rate credit facilities are calculated using the interest rate as of December 31, 2015, adjusted for the hypothetical changes in rates, as shown
below. The base interest rate case assumes the rates on our portfolio investments remain unchanged from the actual effective interest rates as of
December 31, 2015. These hypothetical calculations are based on a model of the investments in our portfolio, held as of December 31, 2015, and are
only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
New Mountain Finance Corporation and subsidiaries
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities of New Mountain Finance Corporation and subsidiaries (the
“Company”), including the consolidated schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 and the consolidated financial
highlights for the period from May 19, 2011 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014,
2013 and 2012. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the management of the Company. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of New Mountain Finance Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations,
changes in their net assets, and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for
the period from May 19, 2011 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February, 29, 2016, expressed an
unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

New Mountain Finance Corporation
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of
New Mountain Finance Corporation
December 31, 2015
(in thousands, except share data)
New Mountain Finance Corporation (“NMFC” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on June 29,
2010. NMFC is a closed-end, non-diversified 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 “1940 Act”). As such, NMFC is obligated to comply with certain
regulatory requirements. NMFC has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a
regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”). NMFC is also
registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”).
On May 19, 2011, NMFC priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 7,272,727 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.75
per share. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO and at the public offering price of $13.75 per share, NMFC sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of
its common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital (defined as New Mountain
Capital Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates) in a concurrent private placement (the “Concurrent Private Placement”). Additionally, 1,252,964 shares were
issued to the partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P. at that time for their ownership interest in the Predecessor Entities (as defined
below). In connection with NMFC’s IPO and through a series of transactions, New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. (“NMF Holdings” or the
“Predecessor Operating Company”) acquired all of the operations of the Predecessor Entities, including all of the assets and liabilities related to
such operations.
New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C.
NMF Holdings is a Delaware limited liability company. Until May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings was externally managed and was regulated as a
BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, NMF Holdings was obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. NMF Holdings was treated as a
partnership for United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax purposes for so long as it had at least two members. With the completion of the
underwritten secondary offering on February 3, 2014, NMF Holdings’ existence as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes terminated and
NMF Holdings became an entity that is disregarded as a separate entity from its owner for U.S. federal tax purposes. For additional information on
the Company’s organizational structure prior to May 8, 2014, see “—Restructuring”.
Until May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings was externally managed by New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C. (the “Investment Adviser”).
As of May 8, 2014, the Investment Adviser serves as the external investment adviser to NMFC. New Mountain Finance Administration, L.L.C. (the
“Administrator”) provides the administrative services necessary for operations. The Investment Adviser and Administrator are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of New Mountain Capital. New Mountain Capital is a firm with a track record of investing in the middle market. New Mountain Capital
focuses on investing in defensive growth companies across its private equity, public equity and credit investment vehicles. NMF Holdings,
formerly known as New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C., was originally formed as a subsidiary of New Mountain Guardian AIV, L.P.
(“Guardian AIV”) by New Mountain Capital in October 2008. Guardian AIV was formed through an allocation of approximately $300.0 million of the
$5.1 billion of commitments supporting New Mountain Partners III, L.P., a private equity fund managed by New Mountain Capital. In February 2009,
New Mountain Capital formed a co-investment vehicle, New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., comprising $20.4 million of commitments. New
Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C. and New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P., together with their respective direct and indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries, are defined as the “Predecessor Entities”.
Prior to December 18, 2014, New Mountain Finance SPV Funding, L.L.C. (“NMF SLF”) was a Delaware limited liability company. NMF SLF
was a wholly-owned subsidiary of NMF Holdings and thus a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company. NMF SLF was bankruptcy-remote
and non-recourse to NMFC. As part of an amendment to the Company’s existing credit facilities with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, NMF
SLF merged with and into NMF Holdings on December 18, 2014. See Note 7, Borrowings, for details.

New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation
Until April 25, 2014, New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation (“AIV Holdings”) was a Delaware corporation that was originally
incorporated on March 11, 2011. AIV Holdings was dissolved on April 25, 2014. Guardian AIV, a Delaware limited partnership, was AIV Holdings’
sole stockholder. AIV Holdings was a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that was regulated as a BDC under the 1940
Act. As such, AIV Holdings was obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. AIV Holdings was treated, and complied with the
requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code.
Structure
Prior to the Restructuring (as defined below) on May 8, 2014, NMFC and AIV Holdings were holding companies with no direct operations
of their own, and their sole asset was their ownership in NMF Holdings. In connection with the IPO, NMFC and AIV Holdings each entered into a
joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated (the “Operating Agreement”), of NMF
Holdings, pursuant to which NMFC and AIV Holdings were admitted as members of NMF Holdings. NMFC acquired from NMF Holdings, with the
gross proceeds of the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement, common membership units (“units”) of NMF Holdings (the number of units were
equal to the number of shares of NMFC’s common stock sold in the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement). Additionally, NMFC received units
of NMF Holdings equal to the number of shares of common stock of NMFC issued to the partners of New Mountain Guardian Partners, L.P.
Guardian AIV was the parent of NMF Holdings prior to the IPO and, as a result of the transactions completed in connection with the IPO, obtained
units in NMF Holdings. Guardian AIV contributed its units in NMF Holdings to its newly formed subsidiary, AIV Holdings, in exchange for
common stock of AIV Holdings. AIV Holdings had the right to exchange all or any portion of its units in NMF Holdings for shares of NMFC’s
common stock on a one-for-one basis at any time.
The original structure was designed to generally prevent NMFC from being allocated taxable income with respect to unrecognized gains
that existed at the time of the IPO in the Predecessor Entities’ assets, and rather such amounts would be allocated generally to AIV Holdings. The
result was that any distributions made to NMFC’s stockholders that were attributable to such gains generally were not treated as taxable dividends
but rather as return of capital.
Since NMFC's IPO, and through December 31, 2015, NMFC raised approximately $454,040 in net proceeds from additional offerings of
common stock and issued shares of its common stock valued at approximately $288,416 on behalf of AIV Holdings for exchanged units. NMFC
acquired from NMF Holdings units of NMF Holdings equal to the number of shares of NMFC’s common stock sold in the additional offerings. With
the completion of the final secondary offering on February 3, 2014, NMFC owned 100.0% of the units of NMF Holdings, which became a wholly-
owned subsidiary of NMFC.
Restructuring
As a BDC, AIV Holdings had been subject to the 1940 Act, including certain provisions applicable only to BDCs. Accordingly, and after
careful consideration of the 1940 Act requirements applicable to BDCs, the cost of 1940 Act compliance and a thorough assessment of AIV
Holdings’ business model, AIV Holdings’ board of directors determined that continuation as a BDC was not in the best interests of AIV Holdings
and Guardian AIV. Specifically, given that AIV Holdings was formed for the sole purpose of holding units of NMF Holdings and AIV Holdings had
disposed of all of the units of NMF Holdings that it was holding as of February 3, 2014, the board of directors of AIV Holdings approved and
declared advisable at an in-person meeting held on March 25, 2014 the withdrawal of AIV Holdings’ election to be regulated as a BDC under the
1940 Act. In addition, the board of directors of AIV Holdings approved and declared advisable for AIV Holdings to terminate its registration under
Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and to dissolve AIV Holdings under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
Upon receipt of the necessary stockholder consent to authorize the board of directors of AIV Holdings to withdraw AIV Holdings’
election to be regulated as a BDC, the withdrawal was filed and became effective upon receipt by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) of AIV Holdings’ notification of withdrawal on Form N-54C on April 15, 2014. The board of directors of AIV Holdings believed that AIV
Holdings met the requirements for filing the notification to withdraw its election to be regulated as a BDC, upon the receipt of the necessary
stockholder consent. After the notification of withdrawal of AIV Holdings’ BDC election was filed with the SEC, AIV Holdings was no longer
subject to the regulatory provisions of the 1940 Act applicable to BDCs generally, including regulations related to insurance, custody, composition
of its board of directors, affiliated transactions and any compensation arrangements.

In addition, on April 15, 2014, AIV Holdings filed a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate AIV Holdings’ registration under Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act. After these SEC filings and any other federal or state regulatory or tax filings were made, AIV Holdings proceeded to dissolve under
Delaware law by filing a certificate of dissolution in Delaware on April 25, 2014.
Until May 8, 2014, as a BDC, NMF Holdings had been subject to the 1940 Act, including certain provisions applicable only to BDCs.
Accordingly, and after careful consideration of the 1940 Act requirements applicable to BDCs, the cost of 1940 Act compliance and a thorough
assessment of NMF Holdings’ current business model, NMF Holdings’ board of directors determined at an in-person meeting held on March 25,
2014 that continuation as a BDC was not in the best interests of NMF Holdings.
At the 2014 joint annual meeting of the stockholders of NMFC and the sole unit holder of NMF Holdings held on May 6, 2014, the
stockholders of NMFC and the sole unit holder of NMF Holdings approved a proposal which authorized the board of directors of NMF Holdings to
withdraw NMF Holdings’ election to be regulated as a BDC. Additionally, the stockholders of NMFC approved a new investment advisory and
management agreement between NMFC and the Investment Adviser. Upon receipt of the necessary stockholder/unit holder approval to authorize
the board of directors of NMF Holdings to withdraw NMF Holdings’ election to be regulated as a BDC, the withdrawal was filed and became
effective upon receipt by the SEC of NMF Holdings’ notification of withdrawal on Form N-54C on May 8, 2014.
Effective May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings amended and restated its Operating Agreement such that the board of directors of NMF Holdings
was dissolved and NMF Holdings remained a wholly-owned subsidiary of NMFC with the sole purpose of serving as a special purpose vehicle for
NMF Holdings’ credit facility, and NMFC assumed all other operating activities previously undertaken by NMF Holdings under the management of
the Investment Adviser (collectively, the “Restructuring”). After the Restructuring, all wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of NMFC are
consolidated with NMFC for both 1940 Act and financial statement reporting purposes, subject to any financial statement adjustments required in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). NMFC continues to remain a BDC under the
1940 Act.
Also, on May 8, 2014, NMF Holdings filed Form 15 with the SEC to terminate NMF Holdings’ registration under Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act. As a special purpose entity, NMF Holdings is bankruptcy-remote and non-recourse to NMFC. In addition, the assets held at NMF
Holdings will continue to be used to secure NMF Holdings’ credit facility.
Current Organization
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, NMF QID NGL Holdings, Inc. (“NMF
QID”). The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, NMF Ancora Holdings Inc. (“NMF Ancora”), NMF QID and NMF YP Holdings Inc. (“NMF
YP”), are structured as Delaware entities that serve as tax blocker corporations which hold equity or equity-like investments in portfolio companies
organized as limited liability companies (or other forms of pass-through entities). The Company consolidates its tax blocker corporations for
accounting purposes. The tax blocker corporations are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may incur income tax expense as a result of
their ownership of the portfolio companies. Additionally, the Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, New Mountain Finance Servicing, L.L.C.
(“NMF Servicing”) that serves as the administrative agent on certain investment transactions. New Mountain Finance SBIC, L.P. (“SBIC LP”), and
its general partner, New Mountain Finance SBIC G.P., L.L.C. (“SBIC GP”), were organized in Delaware as a limited partnership and limited liability
company, respectively. SBIC LP and SBIC GP are consolidated wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company. SBIC LP received a
license from the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) to operate as a small business investment company (“SBIC”) under Section 301
(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (the “1958 Act”).

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the sourcing and origination of debt
securities at all levels of the capital structure, including first and second lien debt, notes, bonds and mezzanine securities. In some cases, the
Company’s investments may also include equity interests. The primary focus is in the debt of defensive growth companies, which are defined as
generally exhibiting the following characteristics: (i) sustainable secular growth drivers, (ii) high barriers to competitive entry, (iii) high free cash
flow after capital expenditure and working capital needs, (iv) high returns on assets and (v) niche market dominance. Similar to the Company,
SBIC LP’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation under the investment criteria used by the Company, however,
SBIC LP’s investments must be in SBA eligible companies. The Company’s portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries. As of
December 31, 2015, the Company’s top five industry concentrations were software, business services, education, distribution & logistics and
federal services.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting—The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The Company is
an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—
Investment Companies, ("ASC 946"). NMFC consolidates its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries: NMF Holdings, NMF Servicing,
SBIC LP, SBIC GP, NMF Ancora, NMF QID and NMF YP. Previously, the Company consolidated its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary NMF SLF
until it merged with and into NMF Holdings on December 18, 2014. See Note 7, Borrowings, for details. Prior to the Restructuring, the Predecessor
Operating Company consolidated its wholly-owned subsidiary, NMF SLF. NMFC and AIV Holdings did not consolidate the Predecessor Operating
Company. Prior to the Restructuring, NMFC and AIV Holdings applied investment company master-feeder financial statement presentation, as
described in ASC 946 to their interest in the Predecessor Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings observed that it was also industry practice
to follow the presentation prescribed for a master fund-feeder fund structure in ASC 946 in instances in which a master fund was owned by more
than one feeder fund and that such presentation provided stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings with a clearer depiction of their investment in
the master fund.

The Company's consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition for all periods presented. All intercompany transactions have
been eliminated. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses when incurred. The financial results of the Company's portfolio investments
are not consolidated in the financial statements. Prior to the IPO, an affiliate of the Predecessor Entities paid a majority of the management and
incentive fees. Historical operating expenses do not reflect the allocation of certain professional fees, administrative and other expenses that have
been incurred following the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, the Predecessor Operating Company's historical operating expenses are not
comparable to its operating expenses after the completion of the IPO.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the requirements for reporting
on Form 10-K and Article 6 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals
considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements have been included.
Investments—The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is the amount 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. Investments are reflected
on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains and losses resulting from
changes in fair value reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investments" and realizations on portfolio investments reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Net realized gains
(losses) on investments".
The Company values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, the Company's board of
directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in good faith, including
investments that are not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available and any other situation where its portfolio investments
require a fair value determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Company's quarterly valuation procedures are
set forth in more detail below:
(1) Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the closing
price indicated from independent pricing services.
(2) Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a multi-
step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with
GAAP.
a. Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the investment professionals of
the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of fair value in accordance with GAAP and if so, the quote
is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote(s) internally and if the investment's par value or its fair
value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see
(3) below); and
b. For investments other than bonds, the Company looks at the number of quotes readily available and performs the following:
i.
ii.
Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean of the bid
and ask of the quotes obtained.
Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment professionals of the
Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods (further described below) to validate
the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the quote internally and if the investment's par value or
its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes
(see (3) below).
(3) Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a
multi-step valuation process:
a. Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser responsible for
the credit monitoring;
116
Table of Contents
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of
New Mountain Finance Corporation (Continued)
December 31, 2015
(in thousands, except share data)
b. Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with the Company's senior management;
c.
If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment's par value or its fair value exceeds the
materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which the Company does not
have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company's board of
directors; and
d. When deemed appropriate by the Company's management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to review and value
investment(s) of a portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment Adviser. The investment
professionals of the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.
For investments in revolving credit facilities and delayed draw commitments, the cost basis of the funded investments purchased is offset
by any costs/netbacks received for any unfunded portion on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for the price appreciation
or depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of commitments not completely funded may result in a negative fair value until it
is called and funded.
The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might
ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are
liquidated. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair
value of the Company's investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.
Prior to the Restructuring, NMFC was a holding company with no direct operations of its own, and its sole asset was its ownership in the
Predecessor Operating Company. Prior to the completion of the underwritten secondary public offering on February 3, 2014, AIV Holdings was a
holding company with no direct operations of its own, and its sole asset was its ownership in the Predecessor Operating Company. NMFC's and
AIV Holdings' investments in the Predecessor Operating Company were carried at fair value and represented the respective pro-rata interest in the
net assets of the Predecessor Operating Company as of the applicable reporting date. NMFC and AIV Holdings valued their ownership interest on a
quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act.
See Note 3, Investments, for further discussion relating to investments.
Collateralized agreements or repurchase financings—The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification
Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing—Secured Borrowing and Collateral, ("ASC 860") when accounting for transactions involving the purchases
of securities under collateralized agreements to resell (resale agreements). These transactions are treated as collateralized financing transactions and
are recorded at their contracted resale or repurchase amounts, as specified in the respective agreements. Interest on collateralized agreements is
accrued and recognized over the life of the transaction and included in interest income. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the
Company held one collateralized agreement to resell with a cost basis of $30,000 and $30,000, respectively, and a carrying value of $29,704 and
$30,000, respectively, collateralized by a second lien bond in Northstar GOM Holdings Group LLC with a fair value of $29,704 and $30,000,
respectively, and guaranteed by a private hedge fund with approximately $716,590 and $769,390, respectively, of assets under management.
Pursuant to the terms of the collateralized agreement, the private hedge fund is obligated to repurchase the collateral from the Company at the par
value of the collateralized agreement once called upon by the Company or if the private hedge fund's total assets under management fall below the
agreed upon thresholds. The collateralized agreement earned interest at a weighted average rate of 15.0% per annum as of December 31, 2015 and
December 31, 2014.
Cash and cash equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term, highly liquid investments. The Company defines
cash equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and so near maturity that there is insignificant risk of
changes in value. These securities have original maturities of three months or less. The Company did not hold any cash equivalents as of
December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Sales and paydowns of investments: Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification method.
Interest and dividend income: Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is
recorded on the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the
prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. The Company has loans and certain
preferred equity investments in the portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind ("PIK") interest or dividend provision. PIK interest and dividends are
accrued and recorded as income at the contractual rates, if deemed collectible. The PIK interest and dividends are added to the principal or share
balances on the capitalization dates and are generally due at maturity or when redeemed by the issuer.
Dividend income on common equity is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly
traded portfolio companies. Dividend income on preferred securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such
amounts are deemed collectible.
Non-accrual income: Investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more
and when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest or dividends are
reversed when an investment is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest or dividends are not 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 of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual investments are restored to accrual status when past due
principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current.
Other income: Other income represents delayed compensation, consent or amendment fees, revolver fees, structuring fees, upfront fees,
management fees from a non-controlled/affiliated investment and other miscellaneous fees received and are typically non-recurring in nature.
Delayed compensation is income earned from counterparties on trades that do not settle within a set number of business days after trade date.
Other income may also include fees from bridge loans. The Company may from time to time enter into bridge financing commitments, an obligation
to provide interim financing to a counterparty until permanent credit can be obtained. These commitments are short-term in nature and may expire
unfunded. A fee is received by the Company for providing such commitments. Structuring fees and upfront fees are recognized as income when
earned, usually when paid at the closing of the investment and are non-refundable.
Prior to the Restructuring, NMFC's revenue recognition policies were as follows:
Revenue, expenses, and capital gains (losses): At each quarterly valuation date, the Predecessor Operating Company's investment
income, expenses, net realized gains (losses), and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) were allocated to NMFC based
on its pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Predecessor Operating Company. This was recorded on NMFC's Statements of Operations. Realized
gains and losses were recorded upon sales of NMFC's investments in the Predecessor Operating Company. Net change in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) of investment in New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. was the difference between the net asset value per share and the closing
price per share for shares issued as part of the dividend reinvestment plan on the dividend payment date. This net change in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) of investment in New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. included the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from the IPO. NMFC
used the proceeds from its IPO and Concurrent Private Placement to purchase units in the Predecessor Operating Company at $13.75 per unit (its
IPO price per share). At the IPO date, $13.75 per unit represented a discount to the actual net asset value per unit of the Predecessor Operating
Company. As a result, NMFC experienced immediate unrealized appreciation on its investment.
All expenses, including those of NMFC, were paid and recorded by the Predecessor Operating Company. Expenses were allocated to
NMFC based on its pro-rata ownership interest. In addition, the Predecessor Operating Company paid all of the offering costs related to the IPO
and subsequent offerings. NMFC recorded its portion of the offering costs as a direct reduction to net assets and the cost of its investment in the
Predecessor Operating Company.

Interest and other financing expenses—Interest and other financing fees are recorded on an accrual basis by the Company. See Note 7,
Borrowings, for details.
Deferred financing costs—The deferred financing costs of the Company consists of capitalized expenses related to the origination and
amending of the Company's borrowings. The Company amortizes these costs into expense using the straight-line method over the stated life of the
related borrowing. See Note 7, Borrowings, for details.
Deferred offering costs—The Company's deferred offering costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with equity offerings
and the filing of shelf registration statements. Upon the issuance of shares, offering costs are charged as a direct reduction to net assets. Deferred
offering costs are included in other assets on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Income taxes—The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under
subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of taxable income and gains timely
distributed to its stockholders.
To continue to qualify as a RIC, the Company is required to meet certain income and asset diversification tests in addition to distributing at
least 90.0% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. Since U.S. 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 between taxable income and the results of operations for financial reporting purposes may be permanent or temporary in
nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Differences in
classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, distributions paid to stockholders of the Company are reported as ordinary income, return of capital,
long term capital gains or a combination thereof.
The Company will be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company distributes, in
a timely manner as required by the Code, an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of its respective net ordinary income earned for the
calendar year and (2) 98.2% of its respective capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in the calendar year.
Certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. These taxable entities are not
consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax liabilities or assets from permanent and temporary differences in the recognition
of items for financial reporting and income tax purposes.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a total provision for income taxes of $1,343 for the Company's
consolidated subsidiaries. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded current income tax expense of approximately $160 and
deferred income tax expense of approximately $1,183, which excludes a deferred tax benefit of $520 attributable to one of the Company's
consolidated subsidiaries. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized a total provision for income taxes of $929 for the
Company's consolidated subsidiaries. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded current income tax expense of
approximately $436 and deferred income tax expense of approximately $493.
As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $1,676 and $493, respectively, of deferred tax liabilities primarily relating
to deferred taxes attributable to certain differences between the computation of income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as compared to GAAP.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $520 attributable to one of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries primarily
related to net operating losses. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the subsidiary will have insufficient taxable income
to realize some portion or all of the deferred tax asset. As such, a full valuation allowance of $520 has been recorded against the deferred tax asset.
The Company has adopted the Income Taxes topic of the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 provides guidance
for income taxes, including how uncertain income tax positions should be recognized, measured, and disclosed in the financial statements. Based on
its analysis, the Company has determined that there were no uncertain income tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not threshold
through December 31, 2015. The 2012 through 2015 tax years remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal, state, and local tax authorities.

Dividends—Distributions to common stockholders of the Company are recorded on the record date as set by the board of directors. The
Company intends to make distributions to its stockholders that will be sufficient to enable the Company to maintain its status as a RIC. The
Company intends to distribute approximately all of its adjusted net investment income (see Note 5, Agreements) on a quarterly basis and
substantially all of its taxable income on an annual basis, except that the Company may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.
The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides on behalf of its stockholders for reinvestment of any distributions
declared, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash.
The Company applies the following in implementing the dividend reinvestment plan. If the price at which newly issued shares are to be
credited to stockholders' accounts is equal to or greater than 110.0% of the last determined net asset value of the shares, the Company will use only
newly issued shares to implement its dividend reinvestment plan. Under such circumstances, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder is
determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of the Company's
common stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the distribution payment date. Market price per share on that date will be the closing
price for such shares on the NYSE or, if no sale is reported for such day, the average of their electronically reported bid and ask prices.
If the price at which newly issued shares are to be credited to stockholders' accounts is less than 110.0% of the last determined net asset
value of the shares, the Company will either issue new shares or instruct the plan administrator to purchase shares in the open market to satisfy the
additional shares required. Shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a stockholder based on the
average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of common stock purchased in the open market. The
number of shares of the Company's 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 the Company's stockholders have been
tabulated.
Earnings per share—The Company's earnings per share ("EPS") amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of
shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from
operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted EPS is computed by
dividing net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock assuming all
potential shares had been issued, and its related net impact to net assets accounted for, and the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution, using the as-if-converted method for convertible debt, which could occur if all potentially dilutive
securities were exercised.
Foreign securities—The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of
investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange
of such currencies on the respective dates of the transactions. The Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with "Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments" and "Net realized gains (losses) on
investments" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies may be negatively affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar
and such foreign currencies. This movement is beyond the control of the Company and cannot be predicted.
Use of estimates—The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Company's consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial
markets, and other metrics used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used, and the differences
could be material.
Dividend income recorded related to distributions received from flow-through investments is an accounting estimate based on the most
recent estimate of the tax treatment of the distribution. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company adjusted accounting estimates
related to the classification of dividend income for distributions received from three of the Company's equity investments. Based on updated tax
projections received during the year ended December 31, 2015, the

Investment risk factors—First and second lien debt that the Company invests in is entirely, or almost entirely, rated below investment
grade or may be unrated. Debt investments rated below investment grade are often referred to as "leveraged loans," "high yield" or "junk" debt
investments, and may be considered "high risk" compared to debt investments that are rated investment grade. These debt investments are
considered speculative because of the credit risk of the issuers. Such issuers are
124
Table of Contents
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of
New Mountain Finance Corporation (Continued)
December 31, 2015
(in thousands, except share data)
considered more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal and such risk of default could reduce the
net asset value and income distributions of the Company. In addition, some of the Company's debt investments will not fully amortize during their
lifetime, which could result in a loss or a substantial amount of unpaid principal and interest due upon maturity. First and second lien debt may also
lose significant market value before a default occurs. Furthermore, an active trading market may not exist for these first and second lien debt
investments. This illiquidity may make it more difficult to value the debt.
Subordinated debt is generally subject to similar risks as those associated with first and second lien debt, except that such debt is
subordinated in payment and /or lower in lien priority. Subordinated debt is subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and the
property securing the debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured and unsecured
obligations of the borrower.
The Company may directly invest in the equity of private companies or in some cases, equity investments could be made in connection
with a debt investment. Equity investments may or may not fluctuate in value resulting in recognized realized gains or losses upon disposition.
Note 4. Fair Value
Fair value is the amount 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. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"),
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring investments at fair value. The
hierarchy classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:
Level I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments and the Company has the ability to access
such quotes as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level I include active exchange-traded equity
securities and exchange-traded derivatives. As required by ASC 820, the Company, to the extent that it holds such investments, does not adjust the
quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted
price.
Level II—Pricing inputs are observable for the investments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as
those used in Level I. Level II inputs include the following:
• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which
trade infrequently);
•
•
Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-
counter derivatives, including foreign exchange forward contracts); and
Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other
means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the
investment.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels. In all instances when the inputs fall within different levels of the
hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. As such, a Level III fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable and unobservable. Gains and
losses for such assets categorized within the Level III table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable
inputs and unobservable inputs.
The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by management and consideration of factors
specific to each investment. A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of
valuation inputs may result in the transfer of certain investments within the fair value hierarchy from period to period. Reclassifications impacting
the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the respective leveling categories as of the beginning of the quarter in which the
reclassifications occur.

(1) As of December 31, 2014, the portfolio investments were transferred into Level III from Level II or Level I and out of Level III into Level II at
fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications occurred.
(2) During the year ended December 31, 2014, the valuation methodology for two portfolio companies changed due to the portfolio companies'
deterioration in operating results and as such, these portfolio companies were transferred into Level III from Level II during the year then
ended.
Except as noted in the tables above, there were no other transfers in or out of Level I, II, or III during the years ended December 31, 2015
and December 31, 2014. Transfers into Level III occur as quotations obtained through pricing services are not deemed representative of fair value as
of the balance sheet date and such assets are internally valued. As quotations obtained through pricing services are substantiated through
additional market sources, investments are transferred out of Level III. In addition, transfers out of Level III and transfers into Level III occur based
on the increase or decrease in the availability of certain observable inputs. The Company invests in revolving credit facilities. These investments
are categorized as Level III investments as these assets are not actively traded and their fair values are often implied by the term loans of the
respective portfolio companies.
The Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments where there are little, if any, market
activity or observable pricing inputs. The Company typically determines the fair value of its performing debt investments utilizing an income
approach. Additional consideration is given using a market based approach, as well as reviewing the overall underlying portfolio company's
performance and associated financial risks. The following outlines additional details on the approaches considered:
Company Performance, Financial Review, and Analysis: Prior to investment, as part of its due diligence process, the Company
evaluates the overall performance and financial stability of the portfolio company. Post investment, the Company analyzes each portfolio company's
current operating performance and relevant financial trends versus prior year and budgeted results, including, but not limited to, factors affecting its
revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") growth, margin trends, liquidity position, covenant
compliance and changes to its capital structure. The Company also attempts to identify and subsequently track any developments at the portfolio
company, within its customer or vendor base or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment, generally, that may alter any material
element of its original investment thesis. This analysis is specific to each portfolio company. The Company leverages the knowledge gained

(in thousands, except share data)
from its original due diligence process, augmented by this subsequent monitoring, to continually refine its outlook for each of its portfolio
companies and ultimately form the valuation of its investment in each portfolio company. When an external event such as a purchase transaction,
public offering or subsequent sale occurs, the Company will consider the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate the private
valuation.
For debt investments, the Company may employ the Market Based Approach (as described below) to assess the total enterprise value of
the portfolio company, in order to evaluate the enterprise value coverage of the Company’s debt investment. For equity investments or in cases
where the Market Based Approach implies a lack of enterprise value coverage for the debt investment, the Company may additionally employ a
discounted cash flow analysis based on the free cash flows of the portfolio company to assess the total enterprise value.
After enterprise value coverage is demonstrated for the Company’s debt investments through the method(s) above, the Income Based
Approach (as described below) may be employed to estimate the fair value of the investment.
Market Based Approach: The Company may estimate the total enterprise value of each portfolio company by utilizing market value cash
flow (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies and comparable transactions. The Company considers numerous factors when
selecting the appropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value its portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to,
the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. The
Company may apply an average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA multiples to the portfolio company's latest twelve month
("LTM") EBITDA or projected EBITDA to calculate the enterprise value of the portfolio company. Significant increases or decreases in the
EBITDA multiple will result in an increase or decrease in enterprise value, which may result in an increase or decrease in the fair value estimate of
the investment. In applying the market based approach as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company used the relevant EBITDA
multiple ranges set forth in the table below to determine the enterprise value of its portfolio companies. The Company believes this was a
reasonable range in light of current comparable company trading levels and the specific portfolio companies involved.
Income Based Approach: The Company also may use a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of the investment.
Projected cash flows represent the relevant security's contractual interest, fee and principal payments plus the assumption of full principal recovery
at the investment's expected maturity date. These cash flows are discounted at a rate established utilizing a yield calibration approach, which
incorporates changes in the credit quality (as measured by relevant statistics) of the portfolio company, as compared to changes in the yield
associated with comparable credit quality market indices, between the date of origination and the valuation date. Significant increases or decreases
in the discount rate would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value measurement. In applying the income based approach as of December 31,
2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company used the discount ranges set forth in the table below to value investments in its portfolio companies.

Fair value was determined based on transaction pricing or recent acquisition or sale as the best measure of fair value with no material
changes in operations of the related portfolio company since the transaction date.
Based on a comparison to similar BDC credit facilities, the terms and conditions of the Holdings Credit Facility and the NMFC Credit
Facility (as defined in Note 7, Borrowings) are representative of market. The carrying values of the Holdings Credit Facility and NMFC Credit
Facility approximate fair value as of December 31, 2015, as the facilities are continually monitored and examined by both the borrower and the lender.
The carrying value of the SBA-guaranteed debentures approximate fair value as of December 31, 2015 based on a comparison of market interest
rates for the Company's borrowings and similar entities. The fair value of the Holdings Credit Facility, NMFC Credit Facility and SBA-guaranteed
debentures are considered Level III. The fair value of the Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 7, Borrowings) as of December 31, 2015 was
$112,988, which was based on quoted prices and considered Level II. See Note 7, Borrowings, for details. The carrying value of the collateralized
agreement approximates fair value as of December 31, 2015 and is considered Level III. The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities
approximates their carrying value based on the short-term nature of these items.
Fair value risk factors—The Company seeks investment opportunities that offer the possibility of attaining substantial capital
appreciation. Certain events particular to each industry in which the Company's portfolio companies conduct their operations, as well as general
economic and political conditions, may have a significant negative impact on the operations and profitability of the Company's investments and/or
on the fair value of the Company's investments. The Company's investments are subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or
principal, resulting in a reduction in income to the Company and their corresponding fair valuations. Also, there may be risk associated with the
concentration of investments in one geographic region or in certain industries. These events are beyond the control of the Company and cannot be
predicted. Furthermore, the ability to liquidate investments and realize value is subject to uncertainties.
Note 5. Agreements
NMF Holdings entered into an investment advisory and management agreement, as amended and restated with the Investment Adviser on
May 19, 2011. Until May 8, 2014, under the investment advisory and management agreement, the Investment Adviser managed the day-to-day
operations of, and provided investment advisory services to, NMF Holdings. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser received a fee
from NMF Holdings, consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee.
130

(in thousands, except share data)
On May 6, 2014, the stockholders of NMFC approved a new investment advisory and management agreement (the "Investment
Management Agreement") with the Investment Adviser which became effective on May 8, 2014. Under the Investment Management Agreement,
the Investment Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. For providing these
services, the Investment Adviser receives a fee from the Company, consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee.
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company's
gross assets, which equals the Company's total assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less (i) the borrowings under the
SLF Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7, Borrowings) and (ii) cash and cash equivalents. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears,
and is calculated based on the average value of the Company's gross assets, which equals the Company's total assets, as determined in accordance
with GAAP, less the borrowings under the SLF Credit Facility and cash and cash equivalents at the end of each of the two most recently completed
calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis for any equity capital raises or repurchases during the current calendar quarter.
The Company has not invested, and currently is not invested, in derivatives. To the extent the Company invests in derivatives in the future, the
Company will use the actual value of the derivatives, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, for purposes of
calculating its base management fee.
Since the IPO, the base management fee calculation has deducted the borrowings under the SLF Credit Facility. The SLF Credit Facility had
historically consisted of primarily lower yielding assets at higher advance rates. As part of an amendment to the Company's existing credit facilities
with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the SLF Credit Facility merged with the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility and into the Holdings
Credit Facility on December 18, 2014 (as defined in Note 7, Borrowings). Post credit facility merger and to be consistent with the methodology since
the IPO, the Investment Adviser will continue to waive management fees on the leverage associated with those assets that share the same
underlying yield characteristics with investments leveraged under the legacy SLF Credit Facility, which as of December 31, 2015 and December 31,
2014 was approximately $304,899 and $313,455, respectively. The Investment Adviser cannot recoup management fees that the Investment Adviser
has previously waived. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, management fees waived were approximately $5,219 and
$686. No management fees were waved during the year ended December 31, 2013, as the SLF Credit Facility was in existence during this period.
The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals 20.0% of the Company's
"Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income" for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a "preferred return", or "hurdle", and a
"catch-up" feature. "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other
fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, upfront, diligence and consulting fees or
other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company's operating expenses for
the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under an administration agreement, as amended and restated (the
"Administration Agreement"), with the Administrator, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred
stock (of which there are none as of December 31, 2015), but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the
case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities),
accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital
gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
Under GAAP, NMFC's IPO did not step-up the cost basis of the Predecessor Operating Company's existing investments to fair market
value at the IPO date. Since the total value of the Predecessor Operating Company's investments at the time of the IPO was greater than the
investments' cost basis, a larger amount of amortization of purchase or original issue discount, as well as different amounts in realized gain and
unrealized appreciation, may be recognized under GAAP in each period than if the step-up had occurred. This will remain until such predecessor
investments are sold, repaid or mature in the future. The Company tracks the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its investments as of the
time of the IPO and, for purposes of the incentive fee calculation, adjusts Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income to reflect the amortization of
purchase or original issue discount on the Company's investments as if each investment was purchased at the date of the IPO, or stepped up to fair
market value. This is defined as "Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income". The Company also uses the transferred (or fair market) value
of each of its investments as of the time of the IPO to adjust capital gains ("Adjusted Realized Capital Gains") or losses ("Adjusted Realized Capital
Losses") and unrealized capital appreciation ("Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation") and unrealized capital depreciation ("Adjusted
Unrealized Capital Depreciation").

(in thousands, except share data)
Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company's net assets at the end of
the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a "hurdle rate" of 2.0% per quarter (8.0% annualized), subject to a "catch-up"
provision measured as of the end of each calendar quarter. The hurdle rate is appropriately pro-rated for any partial periods. The calculation of the
Company's incentive fee with respect to the Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income for each quarter is as follows:
• No incentive fee is payable to the Investment Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net
Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0% (the "preferred return" or "hurdle").
•
100.0% of the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee
Adjusted Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10.0%
annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser. This portion of the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income
(which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5%) is referred to as the "catch-up". The catch-up provision is intended to
provide the Investment Adviser with an incentive fee of 20.0% on all of the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment
Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income exceeds 2.5% in any
calendar quarter.
•
20.0% of the amount of the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar
quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved.
The second part will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment
Management Agreement) and will equal 20.0% of the Company's Adjusted Realized Capital Gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception
through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a
cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fee.
In accordance with GAAP, the Company accrues a hypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon the cumulative net Adjusted
Realized Capital Gains and Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and the cumulative net Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation and Adjusted
Unrealized Capital Depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. Actual amounts paid to the Investment Adviser are consistent with
the Investment Management Agreement and are based only on actual Adjusted Realized Capital Gains computed net of all Adjusted Realized
Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year as if the
entire portfolio was sold at fair value.
The following table summarizes the management fees and incentive fees incurred by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2015,
December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Company has entered into an Administration Agreement with the Administrator under which the Administrator provides
administrative services. The Administrator performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company's consolidated financial records, prepares
reports filed with the SEC, generally monitors the payment of the Company's expenses and watches the performance of administrative and
professional services rendered by others. The Company will reimburse the Administrator for the Company's allocable portion of overhead and other
expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations to the Company under the Administration Agreement. Pursuant to the
Administration Agreement and further restricted by the Company, expenses payable to the Administrator by the Company as well as other direct
and indirect expenses (excluding interest, other financing expenses, trading expenses and management and incentive fees) had been capped at
$3,500 for the time period from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 and capped at $4,250 for the time period from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. The
expense cap expired on March 31, 2014. Thereafter, the Administrator may, in its own discretion, submit to the Company for reimbursement some or
all of the expenses that the Administrator has incurred on behalf of the Company during any quarterly period. As a result, the amount of expenses
for which the Company will have to reimburse the Administrator may fluctuate in future quarterly periods and there can be no assurance given as to
when, or if, the Administrator may determine to limit the expenses that the Administrator submits to the Company for reimbursement in the future.
However, it is expected that the Administrator will continue to support part of the expense burden of the Company in the near future and may
decide to not calculate and charge through certain overhead related amounts as well as continue to cover some of the indirect costs. The
Administrator cannot recoup any expenses that the Administrator has previously waived. For the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31,
2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately $1,431, $1,395 and $1,180, respectively, of indirect administrative expenses were included in
administrative expenses of which $733, $770 and $1,180, respectively, of indirect administrative expenses were waived by the Administrator. As of
December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $374 and $326, respectively, of indirect administrative expenses were included in payable to affiliates as
the expenses were payable to the Administrator.

Note 7. Borrowings
Holdings Credit Facility—On December 18, 2014 the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement (the "Holdings Credit Facility"), among the Company, as the Collateral Manager, NMF Holdings as the Borrower, Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC as the Administrative Agent and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Lender and Collateral Custodian, which is
structured as a revolving credit facility and matures on December 18, 2019.
Immediately prior to amending the Holdings Credit Facility, NMF SLF merged with and into NMF Holdings. The Holdings Credit Facility
effectively amended and restated the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility (as defined below), merged with the SLF Credit Facility (as defined
below), and combined the amount of borrowings previously available.
The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the Holdings Credit Facility is $495,000, which is the aggregate of the
$280,000 previously available under the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility (as defined below) and the $215,000 previously available under the SLF
Credit Facility (as defined below). Under the Holdings Credit Facility, NMF Holdings is permitted to borrow up to 25.0%, 45.0% or 70.0% of the
purchase price of pledged assets, subject to approval by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. The Holdings Credit Facility is non-recourse to the Company
and is collateralized by all of the investments of NMF Holdings on an investment by investment basis. All fees associated with the origination or
upsizing of the Holdings Credit Facility are capitalized on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and charged against
income as other financing expenses over the life of the Holdings Credit Facility. The Holdings Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative
and negative covenants and events of default. In addition, the Holdings Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum asset coverage
ratio. The covenants are generally not tied to mark to market fluctuations in the prices of NMF Holdings investments, but rather to the performance
of the underlying portfolio companies.
The Holdings Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.00% per annum for Broadly
Syndicated Loans (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) and LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum for all other investments. The Holdings Credit
Facility also charges a non-usage fee, based on the unused facility amount multiplied by the Non-Usage Fee Rate (as defined in the Loan and
Security Agreement).
Prior to December 18, 2014, the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended and restated, dated May 19, 2011 (the "Predecessor Holdings
Credit Facility") among NMF Holdings as the Borrower and Collateral Administrator, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as the Administrative Agent, and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral Custodian, was structured as a revolving credit facility and would mature on October 27,
2016. NMF Holdings became a party to the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility upon the IPO of NMFC. The Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility
amended and restated the credit facility of the Predecessor Entities (the "Predecessor Credit Facility").
The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility was $280,000. Until December 18,
2014, NMF Holdings was permitted to borrow up to 45.0% or 25.0% of the purchase price of pledged first lien or non-first lien debt securities, and
up to 70.0% and 45.0% of the purchase price of specified first lien debt securities and specified non-first lien debt securities, respectively, subject to
approval by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility was amended and restated on May 6, 2014 and as a
result, it was non-recourse to the Company and was collateralized by all of the investments of NMF Holdings on an investment by investment
basis. All fees associated with the origination or upsizing of the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility were capitalized on the Company's
Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and charged against income as other financing expenses over the life of the Predecessor Holdings
Credit Facility. The Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility contained certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default,
including the occurrence of a change in control. In addition, the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility required the Company to maintain a minimum
asset coverage ratio. However, the covenants were generally not tied to mark to market fluctuations in the prices of NMF Holdings' investments,
but rather to the performance of the underlying portfolio companies.

As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance on the Holdings Credit Facility was $419,313 and $468,108,
respectively, and as of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Predecessor Holdings Credit Facility was $221,849, and NMF Holdings

SLF Credit Facility—NMF SLF's Loan and Security Agreement, as amended and restated, dated October 27, 2010 (the "SLF Credit
Facility") among NMF SLF as the Borrower, NMF Holdings as the Collateral Administrator, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as the Administrative
Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral Custodian, was structured as a revolving credit facility and was set to mature
on October 27, 2016. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the SLF Credit Facility was $215,000. The SLF Credit Facility
was non-recourse to the Company and secured by all assets of NMF SLF on an investment by investment basis. All fees associated with the
origination or upsizing of the SLF Credit Facility were capitalized on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and charged
against income as other financing expenses over the life of the SLF Credit Facility. The SLF Credit Facility contained certain customary affirmative
and negative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a change in control. The covenants were generally not tied to mark to
market fluctuations in the prices of NMF SLF's investments, but rather to the performance of the underlying portfolio companies. NMF SLF was not
restricted from the purchase or sale of loans with an affiliate. Therefore, specified loans could be moved as collateral between the Holdings Credit
Facility and the SLF Credit Facility. The SLF Credit Facility merged with the Holdings Credit Facility on December 18, 2014.
Until December 18, 2014, the SLF Credit Facility permitted borrowings of up to 70.0% of the purchase price of pledged first lien debt
securities and up to 25.0% of the purchase price of specified second lien loans, of which, up to 25.0% of the aggregate outstanding loan balance of
all pledged debt securities in the SLF Credit Facility was allowed to be derived from second lien loans, subject to approval by Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association.
The SLF Credit Facility bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum for first lien loans and LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum for
second lien loans, respectively. A non-usage fee was paid, based on the unused facility amount multiplied by the Non-Usage Fee Rate (as defined
in the Loan and Security Agreement).

The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits and combinations, mergers, spin-offs, increases
in dividends in excess of $0.34 per share per quarter and certain changes in control. Certain of these adjustments, including adjustments for
increases in dividends, are subject to a conversion price floor of $14.16 per share. In no event will the total number of shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion exceed 70.6214 per $1 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The Company has determined that the embedded
conversion option in the Convertible Notes is not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under GAAP.
The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future
indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s existing and
future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness
(including existing unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness;
and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries and financing
vehicles. As reflected in Note 12, Earnings Per Share, the issuance is considered part of the if-converted method for calculation of diluted earnings
per share.
The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to maturity. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes. In addition,
if certain corporate events occur in respect of the Company, holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or
part of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus
accrued and unpaid interest through, but excluding, the repurchase date.
The Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to provide financial information to the holders of
the Convertible Note and the Trustee if the Company ceases to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. These covenants are
subject to limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.
The following table summarizes the interest expense and amortization of financing costs incurred on the Convertible Notes for the years

SBA-guaranteed debentures—On August 1, 2014, SBIC LP received an SBIC license from the SBA.
The SBIC license allows SBIC LP to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures, subject to the issuance of a capital
commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. SBA-guaranteed debentures are non-recourse to the Company, interest only debentures
with interest payable semi-annually and have a ten year maturity. The principal amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures is not required to be paid
prior to maturity but may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The interest rate of SBA-guaranteed debentures is fixed on a semi-annual basis at
a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with ten year maturities. The SBA, as a creditor, will have a superior claim to the assets of SBIC LP
over the Company's stockholders in the event SBIC LP is liquidated or the SBA exercises remedies upon an event of default.
The maximum amount of borrowings available under current SBA regulations is $150,000 as long as the licensee has at least $75,000 in
regulatory capital, receives a capital commitment from the SBA and has been through an examination by the SBA subsequent to licensing.

Estimated maturity date as interim SBA-guaranteed debentures are expected to pool in March 2016.
Prior to pooling, the SBA-guaranteed debentures bear interest at an interim floating rate of LIBOR plus 0.30%. Once pooled, which occurs

spread at each pooling date.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, amounts reported relate to the period from August 1, 2014 (receipt of the SBIC license) to
December 31, 2014. The initial SBA-guaranteed debenture borrowing occurred on November 17, 2014.
(2) Not applicable, as the SBIC LP received an SBIC license from the SBA on August 1, 2014.
The SBIC program is designed to stimulate the flow of private investor capital into eligible small businesses, as defined by the SBA. Under
SBA regulations, SBIC LP is subject to regulatory requirements, including making investments in SBA-eligible businesses, investing at least 25.0%
of its investment capital in eligible smaller businesses, as defined under the 1958 Act, placing certain limitations on the financing terms of
investments, regulating the types of financing, prohibiting investments in small businesses with certain characteristics or in certain industries and
requiring capitalization thresholds that limit distributions to the Company. SBIC LP is subject to an annual periodic examination by an SBA examiner
to determine SBIC LP's compliance with the relevant SBA regulations and an annual financial audit of its financial statements that are prepared on a
basis of accounting other than GAAP (such as ASC 820) by an independent auditor. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, SBIC LP was
in compliance with SBA regulatory requirements.
Leverage risk factors—The Company utilizes and may utilize leverage to the maximum extent permitted by the law for investment and
other general business purposes. The Company's lenders will have fixed dollar claims on certain assets that are superior to the claims of the
Company's common stockholders, and the Company would expect such lenders to seek recovery against these assets in the event of a default. The
use of leverage also magnifies the potential for gain or loss on
142

(in thousands, except share data)
amounts invested. Leverage may magnify interest rate risk (particularly on the Company's fixed-rate investments), which is the risk that the prices of
portfolio investments will fall or rise if market interest rates for those types of securities rise or fall. As a result, leverage may cause greater changes
in the Company's net asset value. Similarly, leverage may cause a sharper decline in the Company's income than if the Company had not borrowed.
Such a decline could negatively affect the Company's ability to make dividend payments to its stockholders. Leverage is generally considered a
speculative investment technique. The Company's ability to service any debt incurred will depend largely on financial performance and will be
subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures.
Note 8. Regulation
The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a RIC under
Subchapter M of the Code. In order to continue to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to timely distribute to its
stockholders at least 90.0% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company, among other things,
intends to make and will continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal,
state, and local income taxes (excluding excise taxes which may be imposed under the Code).
Additionally as a BDC, the Company must not acquire any assets other than "qualifying assets" specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the
time the acquisition is made, at least 70.0% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which
provide general indemnifications. The Company may also enter into future funding commitments such as revolving credit facilities, bridge financing
commitments or delayed draw commitments. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities of
$17,576, no outstanding bridge financing commitments and other future funding commitments of $8,678. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had
unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities of $8,948, no outstanding bridge financing commitments and other future funding commitments
of $18,475. The unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities and delayed draws are disclosed on the Company's respective Consolidated
Schedules of Investments.
The Company also has revolving borrowings available under the Holdings Credit Facility and the NMFC Credit Facility as of December 31,
2015 and December 31, 2014. See Note 7, Borrowings, for details.
The Company may from time to time enter into financing commitment letters. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the
Company did not enter into any commitment letters to purchase debt investments which could require funding in the future.
Note 10. Distributions
Differences between taxable income and the results of operations for financial reporting purposes may be permanent or temporary in
nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Differences in
classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. During the years ended December 31, 2015,
December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company's reclassifications of amounts for book purposes arising from permanent book/tax
differences related to return of capital distributions were as follows:
Undistributed net investment income
Distributions in excess of net realized gains
Additional paid-in-capital

As of December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the costs of investments for the Company for tax purposes were
$1,587,189, $1,474,075 and $642,704, respectively.
At December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis differ from the
amounts reflected per the Company's Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences primarily arising from
differences between the tax and book basis of the Company's investment in securities held directly as well as through the Predecessor Operating
Company and undistributed income.
As of December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company's components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax
basis were as follows:

Prior to the Restructuring, the Company's only investment was its investment in the Predecessor Operating Company. After the
Restructuring, the Company directly holds the Predecessor Operating Company's investments. As a result, included in unrealized
(appreciation) depreciation is $(10,069) of timing differences attributable to deferred offering costs, built-in gains and other book/tax
differences impacting the tax basis of the Predecessor Operating Company's investments. These differences were carried over to the
Company, as the new operating company, from the Predecessor Operating Company.
The Company is subject to a 4.0% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company distributes, in a
timely manner as required by the Code, an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of its net ordinary income earned for the calendar year and
(2) 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in the calendar year. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the
Company does not expect to incur any excise taxes. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not incur any
excise taxes.

In applying the if-converted method, conversion is not assumed for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share if the effect would be
anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2015, there was anti-dilution. For the year ended December 31, 2014, there was no anti-dilution.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, due to reflecting earnings for the full year of operations of the Predecessor Operating Company
assuming 100.0% NMFC ownership of Predecessor Operating Company and assuming all of AIV Holdings' units in the Predecessor
Operating Company were exchanged for public shares of NMFC during the year then ended, the earnings per share would be $1.79.

Per share data is based on weighted average shares outstanding for the respective period (except for dividends declared to stockholders which is based on actual rate
per share).
Data presented from May 19, 2011 to December 31, 2011 as the fund became unitized on May 19, 2011, the IPO date.
Includes the accretive effect of common stock issuances per share, which for the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and
December 31, 2012 were $0.06, $0.05, $0.04, and $0.03 respectively. No additional common stock issuances were made during 2011 after the IPO.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and for the period May 19, 2011 to December 31, 2011, per share data is
based on the summation of the per share results of operations items over the outstanding shares for the period in which the respective line items were realized or
earned.
For the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and for the period May 19, 2011 to December 31, 2011,
total return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock at the opening of the first day of the period and assuming a purchase of common stock at IPO,
respectively, and a sale on the closing of the last day of the respective period ends. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation,
to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan.
Total return is calculated assuming a purchase at net asset value on the opening of the first day of the period and a sale at net asset value on the last day of the
period. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at the net asset value on the last day of the respective
quarter.
Ratio to average net assets for the years ended December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and for the period May 19, 2011 to December 31,
2011 is based on the summation of the results of operations items over the net assets for the period in which the respective line items were realized or earned. For
the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company is reflecting its net investment income and expenses as well as its proportionate share of the Predecessor
Operating Company's net investment income and expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and for the period May 19, 2011 to
December 31, 2011, the Company is reflecting its proportionate share of the Predecessor Operating Company's net investment income and expenses.

Note 15. Recent Accounting Standards Updates
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing Topic 860—Repurchase-to-Maturity
Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (“ASU 2014-11”). ASU 2014-11 changes the accounting for repurchase- and resale-to-
maturity agreements by requiring that such agreements be recognized as financing arrangements, and requires that a transfer of a financial asset
and a repurchase agreement entered into contemporaneously be accounted for separately. ASU 2014-11 requires additional disclosures about
certain transferred financial assets accounted for as sales and certain securities financing transactions. The accounting changes and additional
disclosures about certain transferred financial assets accounted for as sales are effective for the first interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2014. The additional disclosures for securities financing transactions are required for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2014 and for interim reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-11 did not have a material impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern
Subtopic 205-40—Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 will
explicitly require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosure in certain
circumstances. The new standard will be effective for all entities in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016. Earlier adoption is
permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and
disclosures.

(in thousands, except share data)
In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation Topic 810—Amendments to the
Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which modifies the consolidation analysis in determining if limited partnerships or similar type entities fall
under the variable interest model or voting interest model, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-
02 will be effective for all public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest Subtopic 835-30—
Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial
statements. Under ASU 2015-03, an entity presents such costs on the statement of assets and liabilities as a direct deduction from the related debt
liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The new standard will be effective for all public entities
for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement Topic 820—Disclosures for
Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) ("ASU 2015-07"), which amends the presentation of
investments measured at net asset value, as a practical expedient for fair value, from the fair value hierarchy. Under ASU 2015-07, an entity would
remove investments measured using the practical expedient from the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2015-07 will be effective for annual and interim
reporting periods after December 15, 2015. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated
financial statements and disclosures.
Note 16. Subsequent Events
On February 4, 2016, the Company's board of directors authorized a program for the purpose of repurchasing up to $50.0 million worth of
the Company's common stock. Under the repurchase program, the Company may, but is not obligated to, repurchase outstanding common stock in
the open market from time to time provided that the Company complies with its code of ethics and the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the
Exchange Act, including certain price, market volume and timing constraints. In addition, any repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the
1940 Act. Unless amended or extended by the Company's board of directors, the Company expects the repurchase program to be in place until the
earlier of December 31, 2016 or until $50.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock have been repurchased.
The Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase program because it believes the sustained market volatility and uncertainty
may cause the Company's common stock to be undervalued from time to time. The timing and number of shares to be repurchased will depend on a
number of factors, including market conditions. There are no assurances that the Company will engage in repurchases, but if market conditions
warrant, the Company now has the ability to take advantage of situations where management believes share repurchases would be advantageous to
the Company and its shareholders.
On February 22, 2016, the Company's board of directors declared a first quarter 2016 distribution of $0.34 per share payable on March 31,
2016 to holders of record as of March 17, 2016.

None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of December 31, 2015 (the end of the period covered by this report), we, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed
in our periodic United States Securities and Exchange Commission filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily
was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of such possible controls and procedures.
(b) Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, and for performing an
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. 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. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to
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 our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 based
upon the criteria in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on management's assessment, management determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2015.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has issued an attestation report on New Mountain Finance
Corporation's internal control over financial reporting, which is set forth on the following page.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
New Mountain Finance Corporation and subsidiaries
New York, New York
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of New Mountain Finance Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of
December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of
Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that
a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other
personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of 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 (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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 (3) 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 the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management
override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any
evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on
the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 of the Company and our report dated February 29, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion
on those consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Boards of Directors and investors of
New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C.,
New Mountain Finance Corporation and
New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets, liabilities and members' capital of New Mountain Finance Holdings,
L.L.C., including the consolidated schedules of investments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, consolidated statements of changes in members' capital, and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 and
the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2013. Also, we have audited the statements of assets and
liabilities of New Mountain Finance Corporation and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the
related statements of operations, changes in net assets, cash flows and the financial highlights for the period from May 19, 2011(commencement of
operations) to December 31, 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C., New Mountain Finance Corporation and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings
Corporation. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). These
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation are not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. and New
Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation included consideration of their internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of their internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion for New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. and New Mountain Finance AIV
Holdings Corporation. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of investments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, by correspondence with
the custodian, loan agent or borrower; where replies were not received, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 16, on February 3, 2014, New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings sold its remaining units in New Mountain Finance
Holdings, L.L.C. (the "Operating Company") and no longer owns any units of the Operating Company.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations, its
consolidated changes in members' capital, and its consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 and the
financial highlights for the each of the five years in the period ended December 31,2013; and the financial positions of New Mountain Finance
Corporation and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations, changes in
their net assets, their cash flows, and the financial highlights for the period from May 19, 2011(commencement of operations) to December 31, 2011
and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C.,
the Financial Statements of New Mountain Finance Corporation and the Financial Statements
of New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation
December 31, 2013
(in thousands, except units/shares and per unit/share data)
The information in these combined notes to the financial statements relates to each of the three separate registrants: New Mountain
Finance Holdings, L.L.C., New Mountain Finance Corporation and New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation (collectively, the
"Companies"). Information that relates to an individual registrant will be specifically referenced by the respective company. None of the
Companies makes any representation as to the information related solely to the other registrants other than itself.
Note 1. Formation and Business Purpose
New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. (the "Operating Company" or the "Master Fund") is a Delaware limited liability company. The
Operating Company is externally managed and has elected to be treated as a business development company ("BDC") under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). As such, the Operating Company is obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements.
The Operating Company intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes for so long as it has at least two members.
The Operating Company is externally managed by New Mountain Finance Advisers BDC, L.L.C. (the "Investment Adviser"). New Mountain
Finance Administration, L.L.C. (the "Administrator") provides the administrative services necessary for operations. The Investment Adviser and
Administrator are wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Mountain Capital (defined as New Mountain Capital Group, L.L.C. and its affiliates). New
Mountain Capital is a firm with a track record of investing in the middle market and with assets under management (which includes amounts
committed, not all of which have been drawn down and invested to date) totaling more than $12.0 billion as of December 31, 2013, which includes
total assets held by the Operating Company. New Mountain Capital focuses on investing in defensive growth companies across its private equity,
public equity, and credit investment vehicles. The Operating Company, formerly known as New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C., was
originally formed as a subsidiary of New Mountain Guardian AIV, L.P. ("Guardian AIV") by New Mountain Capital in October 2008. Guardian AIV
was formed through an allocation of approximately $300.0 million of the $5.1 billion of commitments supporting New Mountain Partners III, L.P., a
private equity fund managed by New Mountain Capital. In February 2009, New Mountain Capital formed a co-investment vehicle, New Mountain
Guardian Partners, L.P., comprising $20.4 million of commitments. New Mountain Guardian (Leveraged), L.L.C. and New Mountain Guardian
Partners, L.P., together with their respective direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, are defined as the "Predecessor Entities".
New Mountain Finance Corporation ("NMFC") is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on June 29, 2010. NMFC is a
closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, NMFC is
obligated to comply with certain regulatory requirements. NMFC has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue
to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the
"Code").
New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation ("AIV Holdings") is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated on March 11,
2011. Guardian AIV, a Delaware limited partnership, is AIV Holdings' sole stockholder. AIV Holdings is a closed-end, non-diversified management
investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. As such, AIV Holdings is obligated to comply with certain
regulatory requirements. AIV Holdings has elected to be treated, and intends to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as a
RIC under the Code.
On May 19, 2011, NMFC priced its initial public offering (the "IPO") of 7,272,727 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.75
per share. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO and at the public offering price of $13.75 per share, NMFC sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of
its common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital in a concurrent private
placement (the "Concurrent Private Placement"). Additionally, 1,252,964 shares were issued to the partners of New Mountain Guardian
Partners, L.P. at that time for their ownership interest in the Predecessor Entities. In connection with NMFC's IPO and through a series of
transactions, the Operating Company owns all of the operations of the Predecessor Entities, including all of the assets and liabilities related to such
operations.
NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companies with no direct operations of their own, and their sole asset is their ownership in the
Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings each entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as
amended and restated, of the Operating Company, pursuant to which NMFC and AIV Holdings were admitted as members of the Operating
Company. NMFC acquired from the Operating Company, with the

gross proceeds of the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement, common membership units ("units") of the Operating Company (the number of
units are equal to the number of shares of NMFC's common stock sold in the IPO and the Concurrent Private Placement). Additionally, NMFC
received units of the Operating Company equal to the number of shares of common stock of NMFC issued to the partners of New Mountain
Guardian Partners, L.P. Guardian AIV was the parent of the Operating Company prior to the IPO and, as a result of the transactions completed in
connection with the IPO, obtained units in the Operating Company. Guardian AIV contributed its units in the Operating Company to its newly
formed subsidiary, AIV Holdings, in exchange for common stock of AIV Holdings. AIV Holdings has the right to exchange all or any portion of its
units in the Operating Company for shares of NMFC's common stock on a one-for-one basis at any time.
Since NMFC's IPO, and through December 31, 2013, NMFC raised approximately $233,468 in net proceeds from additional offerings of
common stock and issued shares of its common stock valued at approximately $249,576 on behalf of AIV Holdings for exchanged units. NMFC
acquired from the Operating Company units of the Operating Company equal to the number of shares of NMFC's common stock sold in the
additional offerings. As of December 31, 2013, NMFC and AIV Holdings owned approximately 94.4% and 5.6%, respectively, of the units of the
Operating Company.
The current structure was designed to generally prevent NMFC from being allocated taxable income with respect to unrecognized gains that
existed at the time of the IPO in the Predecessor Entities' assets, and rather such amounts would be allocated generally to AIV Holdings. The result
is that any distributions made to NMFC's stockholders that are attributable to such gains generally will not be treated as taxable dividends but
rather as return of capital.
The diagram below depicts the Companies' organizational structure as of December 31, 2013.

The Operating Company's investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the sourcing and origination of
debt securities at all levels of the capital structure, including first and second lien debt, notes, bonds and mezzanine securities. In some cases, the
Operating Company's investments may also include equity interests. The primary focus is in the debt of defensive growth companies, which are
defined as generally exhibiting the following characteristics: (i) sustainable secular growth drivers, (ii) high barriers to competitive entry, (iii) high
free cash flow after capital expenditure and working capital needs, (iv) high returns on assets and (v) niche market dominance.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting—The Companies' financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Operating Company consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiary, NMF SLF. NMFC and AIV Holdings
do not consolidate the Operating Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings apply investment company master-feeder financial statement presentation, as
described in Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies, ("ASC 946") to their interest in the Operating
Company. NMFC and AIV Holdings observe that it is industry practice to follow the presentation prescribed for a master fund-feeder fund structure
in ASC 946 in instances in which a master fund is owned by more than one feeder fund and that such presentation provides stockholders of NMFC
and AIV Holdings with a clearer depiction of their investment in the master fund.
The Companies' financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the
fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition for all periods presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses when incurred. The financial results of the Operating Company's portfolio investments are not
consolidated in the financial statements. Prior to the IPO, an affiliate of the Predecessor Entities paid a majority of the management and incentive
fees. Historical operating expenses do not reflect the allocation of certain professional fees, administrative and other expenses that have been
incurred following the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, the Operating Company's historical operating expenses are not comparable to its
operating expenses after the completion of the IPO.
The Companies' financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-K and
Article 6 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for
the fair presentation of financial statements have been included.
Investments—The Operating Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is the amount 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. Investments are
reflected on the Operating Company's Consolidated Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Members' Capital at fair value, with changes in unrealized
gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in the Operating Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Net change
in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments" and realizations on portfolio investments reflected in the Operating Company's
Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Net realized gains (losses) on investments".
The Operating Company values its assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. In all cases, the Operating
Company's board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the portfolio investments on a quarterly basis in
good faith, including investments that are not publicly traded, those whose market prices are not readily available and any other situation where its
portfolio investments require a fair value determination. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Operating Company's
quarterly valuation procedures are set forth in more detail below:
(1)
(2)
Investments for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange are valued at such market quotations based on the
closing price indicated from independent pricing services.
Investments for which indicative prices are obtained from various pricing services and/or brokers or dealers are valued through a
multi-step valuation process, as described below, to determine whether the quote(s) obtained is representative of fair value in
accordance with GAAP.
a.
Bond quotes are obtained through independent pricing services. Internal reviews are performed by the investment
professionals of the Investment Adviser to ensure that the quote obtained is representative of
31

the Financial Statements of New Mountain Finance Corporation and the Financial Statements
of New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation (Continued)

(in thousands, except units/shares and per unit/share data)
fair value in accordance with GAAP and if so, the quote is used. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate
the quote(s) internally and if the investment's par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is
valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below); and
b.
For investments other than bonds, the Operating Company looks at the number of quotes readily available and performs the
following:
i.
ii.
Investments for which two or more quotes are received from a pricing service are valued using the mean of the mean
of the bid and ask of the quotes obtained.
Investments for which one quote is received from a pricing service are validated internally. The investment
professionals of the Investment Adviser analyze the market quotes obtained using an array of valuation methods
(further described below) to validate the fair value. If the Investment Adviser is unable to sufficiently validate the
quote internally and if the investment's par value or its fair value exceeds the materiality threshold, the investment is
valued similarly to those assets with no readily available quotes (see (3) below).
(3) Investments for which quotations are not readily available through exchanges, pricing services, brokers, or dealers are valued through a
multi-step valuation process:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals of the Investment Adviser
responsible for the credit monitoring;
Preliminary valuation conclusions will then be documented and discussed with the Operating Company's senior
management;
If an investment falls into (3) above for four consecutive quarters and if the investment's par value or its fair value exceeds
the materiality threshold, then at least once each fiscal year, the valuation for each portfolio investment for which the
Operating Company does not have a readily available market quotation will be reviewed by an independent valuation firm
engaged by the Companies' board of directors; and
When deemed appropriate by the Operating Company's management, an independent valuation firm may be engaged to
review and value investment(s) of a portfolio company, without any preliminary valuation being performed by the Investment
Adviser. The investment professionals of the Investment Adviser will review and validate the value provided.
For investments in revolving credit facilities and delayed draw commitments, the cost basis of the funded investments purchased is offset by
any netbacks received for any unfunded portion on the total balance committed. The fair value is also adjusted for the price appreciation or
depreciation on the unfunded portion. As a result, the purchase of commitments not completely funded may result in a negative fair value until it is
called and funded.
The values assigned to investments are based upon available information and do not necessarily represent amounts which might ultimately
be realized, since such amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot be reasonably determined until the individual positions are liquidated.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the
Operating Company's investments may fluctuate from period to period and the fluctuations could be material.
NMFC and AIV Holdings are holding companies with no direct operations of their own, and their sole asset is their ownership in the
Operating Company. NMFC's and AIV Holdings' investments in the Operating Company are carried at fair value and represent the respective pro-
rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company as of the applicable reporting date. NMFC and AIV Holdings value their ownership interest
on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act.
See Note 3, Investments, for further discussion relating to investments.

(in thousands, except units/shares and per unit/share data)
Cash and cash equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term, highly liquid investments. The Companies define cash
equivalents as securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and so near maturity that there is insignificant risk of changes in
value. Generally, these securities have original maturities of three months or less.
Revenue recognition
The Operating Company's revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Sales and paydowns of investments: Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific identification method.
Interest income: Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount using the effective interest method, is recorded on
the accrual basis and periodically assessed for collectability. Interest income also includes interest earned from cash on hand. Upon the
prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties are recorded as part of interest income. The Operating Company has
loans in the portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind ("PIK") provision. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest
income at the contractual rates, added to the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and generally due at maturity.
Non-accrual income: Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more and
when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued cash and un-capitalized PIK interest is generally
reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Previously capitalized PIK interest is not reversed when an investment is placed on
non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon
management's judgment of the ultimate outcome. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is
paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current.
Dividend income: Dividend income is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for
publicly traded portfolio companies.
Other income: Other income represents delayed compensation, consent or amendment fees, revolver fees and other miscellaneous
fees received. Delayed compensation is income earned from counterparties on trades that do not settle within a set number of business
days after trade date. Other income may also include fees from bridge loans. The Operating Company may from time to time enter into
bridge financing commitments, an obligation to provide interim financing to a counterparty until permanent credit can be obtained. These
commitments are short-term in nature and may expire unfunded. A fee is received by the Operating Company for providing such
commitments.
NMFC's and AIV Holdings' revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Revenue, expenses, and capital gains (losses): At each quarterly valuation date, the Operating Company's investment income,
expenses, net realized gains (losses), and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are allocated to NMFC and AIV
Holdings based on their pro-rata interest in the net assets of the Operating Company. This is recorded on NMFC's and AIV Holdings'
Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses are recorded upon sales of NMFC's and AIV Holdings' investments in the Operating
Company. Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment in New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C. is the difference
between the net asset value per share and the closing price per share for shares issued as part of the dividend reinvestment plan on the
dividend payment date. This net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment in New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C.
includes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from the IPO. NMFC used the proceeds from its IPO and Concurrent Private Placement
to purchase units in the Operating Company at $13.75 per unit (its IPO price per share). At the IPO date, $13.75 per unit represented a
discount to the actual net asset value per unit of the Operating Company. As a result, NMFC experienced immediate unrealized
appreciation on its investment. Concurrently, AIV Holdings experienced immediate unrealized depreciation on its investment in the
Operating Company equal to the difference between NMFC's IPO price of $13.75 per unit and the actual net asset value per unit.
All expenses, including those of NMFC and AIV Holdings, are paid and recorded by the Operating Company. Expenses are allocated
to NMFC and AIV Holdings based on pro-rata ownership interest. In addition, the Operating
33
Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of New Mountain Finance Holdings, L.L.C.,
the Financial Statements of New Mountain Finance Corporation and the Financial Statements
of New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation (Continued)
December 31, 2013
(in thousands, except units/shares and per unit/share data)
Company paid all of the offering costs related to the IPO and subsequent offerings. NMFC and AIV Holdings have recorded their portion
of the offering costs as a direct reduction to net assets and the cost of their investment in the Operating Company.
With respect to the expenses incident to any registration of shares of NMFC's common stock issued in exchange for AIV Holdings'
units of the Operating Company, AIV Holdings is directly responsible for the expenses of any demand registration (including underwriters'
discounts or commissions) and their pro-rata share of any "piggyback" registration expenses.
Interest and other credit facility expenses—Interest and other credit facility fees are recorded on an accrual basis by the Operating
Company. See Note 7, Borrowing Facilities, for details.
Deferred credit facility costs—The deferred credit facility costs of the Operating Company consist of capitalized expenses related to the
origination and amending of the Operating Company's existing credit facilities. The Operating Company amortizes these costs into expense using
the straight-line method over the stated life of the related credit facility. See Note 7, Borrowing Facilities, for details.
Income taxes—The Operating Company is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and as such is generally not subject to
federal or state and local income taxes except with respect to state source income received from underlying investments. The partners are
individually responsible for reporting income or loss based on their respective share of the revenues and expenses. The Operating Company files
United States ("U.S.") federal, state, and local income tax returns.
NMFC and AIV Holdings have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as RICs under
subchapter M of the Code. As RICs, NMFC and AIV Holdings are not subject to federal income tax on the portion of taxable income and gains
timely distributed to stockholders; therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.
To continue to qualify as RICs, NMFC and AIV Holdings are required to meet certain income and asset diversification tests in addition to
distributing at least 90.0% of their respective investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. Since 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 between taxable income and the results of operations for financial reporting purposes may be permanent or temporary in nature.
Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Differences in classification
may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
For federal income tax purposes, distributions paid to stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings are reported as ordinary income, return of
capital, long term capital gains or a combination thereof.
NMFC and AIV Holdings will be subject to a 4.0% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless NMFC and AIV
Holdings distribute, in a timely manner as required by the Code, an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98.0% of their respective net ordinary
income earned for the calendar year and (2) 98.2% of their respective capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in the
calendar year.
The Companies have adopted the Income Taxes topic of the Codification ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 provides guidance for income taxes,
including how uncertain income tax positions should be recognized, measured, and disclosed in the financial statements. Based on their analyses,
the Companies have determined that there were no material uncertain income tax positions through December 31, 2013. The 2011, 2012 and 2013 tax
years remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal, state, and local tax authorities.
Dividends—Distributions to common unit holders of the Operating Company and common stockholders of NMFC and AIV Holdings are
recorded on the record date as set by the respective board of directors. In order for NMFC and AIV Holdings to pay a dividend or other distribution
to holders of their common stock, it must be accompanied by a prior distribution by the Operating Company to all of its unit holders. The Operating
Company intends to make distributions to its unit holders that will be sufficient to enable NMFC and AIV Holdings to pay quarterly distributions to
their stockholders and to maintain their status as RICs. NMFC and AIV Holdings intend to distribute approximately all of their portion of the
Operating Company's adjusted
34

the Financial Statements of New Mountain Finance Corporation and the Financial Statements
of New Mountain Finance AIV Holdings Corporation (Continued)
December 31, 2013
(in thousands, except units/shares and per unit/share data)
net investment income (see Note 5, Agreements) on a quarterly basis and substantially all of their portion of the Operating Company's taxable
income on an annual basis, except that NMFC may retain certain net capital gains for reinvestment.
Under certain circumstances, the distributions that the Operating Company makes to its members may not be sufficient for AIV Holdings to
satisfy the annual distribution requirement necessary for AIV Holdings to continue to qualify as a RIC. In that case, it is expected that Guardian AIV
would consent to be treated as if it received distributions from AIV Holdings sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement. Guardian AIV
would be required to include the consent dividend in its taxable income as a dividend from AIV Holdings, which would result in phantom (i.e., non-
cash) taxable income to Guardian AIV. AIV Holdings intends to make quarterly distributions to Guardian AIV, its sole stockholder, out of assets
legally available for distribution each quarter.
The Operating Company and NMFC are required to take certain actions in order to maintain, at all times, a one-to-one ratio between the
number of units held by NMFC and the number of shares of NMFC's common stock outstanding. NMFC has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan
that provides on behalf of its stockholders for reinvestment of any distributions declared, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. Cash
distributions reinvested in additional shares of NMFC's common stock will be automatically reinvested by NMFC into additional units of the
Operating Company. In addition, AIV Holdings does not intend to reinvest any distributions received from the Operating Company in additional
units of the Operating Company.
NMFC applies the following in implementing the dividend reinvestment plan. If the price at which newly issued shares are to be credited to
stockholders' accounts is greater than 110.0% of the last determined net asset value of the shares, NMFC will use only newly issued shares to
implement its dividend reinvestment plan. Under such circumstances, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder is determined by dividing
the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by the market price per share of NMFC's common stock on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the distribution payment date. Market price per share on that date will be the closing price for such shares on the
NYSE or, if no sale is reported for such day, the average of their electronically reported bid and asked prices. If NMFC uses newly issued shares to
implement the plan, NMFC will receive, on a one-for-one basis, additional units of the Operating Company in exchange for cash distributions that
are reinvested in shares of NMFC's common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan.
If the price at which newly issued shares are to be credited to stockholders' accounts is less than 110.0% of the last determined net asset
value of the shares, NMFC will either issue new shares or instruct the plan administrator to purchase shares in the open market to satisfy the
additional shares required. Shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a stockholder based on the
average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of common stock purchased in the open market. The
number of shares of NMFC's 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 NMFC's stockholders have been tabulated.
Foreign securities—The accounting records of the Operating Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of
investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange
of such currencies on the respective dates of the transactions. The Operating Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with "Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments" and "Net realized gains (losses) on
investments" in the Operating Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies may be negatively affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and
such foreign currencies. This movement is beyond the control of the Operating Company and cannot be predicted.
Use of estimates—The preparation of the Companies' financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the Companies' financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and other metrics used in
determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used, and the differences could be material.

Dividend income recorded related to distributions received from flow-through investments is an accounting estimate based on the most
recent estimate of the tax treatment of the distribution. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Operating Company changed an
accounting estimate related to the classification of dividend income for a distribution recorded in the prior quarter from one of the Operating
Company's warrant investments. Based on tax projections received during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Operating Company reduced
the warrant cost basis by $466 and corresponding dividend income previously recorded by $1,799, and recorded a realized gain of $1,333 to agree to
the tax treatment on the investment. This resulted in a reclass of $360 from incentive fee to capital gains incentive fee. Based on updated tax
projections received during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Operating Company increased dividend income previously recorded by $224
and reduced the realized gain previously recorded by $224 to agree to the tax treatment on the investment. This resulted in a reclass of $45 from
capital gains incentive fee to incentive fee.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Operating Company sold its first lien position in ATI Acquisition Company, resulting in a
realized loss of $4,306. Prior to the sale, this investment had a cost basis of $4,306, a zero fair value and total unearned interest income of $611 for the
year ended. As of December 31, 2013, the Operating Company's two super priority first lien positions in ATI Acquisition Company remained on
non-accrual status due to the inability of the portfolio company to service its interest payment for the year then ended and uncertainty about its
ability to pay such amounts in the future. During the third quarter of 2013, the Operating Company received preferred shares and warrants in
Ancora Acquisition LLC, in relation to the two super priority first lien positions in ATI Acquisition Company. As of December 31, 2013, the
Operating Company's investment in ATI Acquisition Company and Ancora Acquisition LLC had an aggregate cost basis of $1,611, an aggregate
fair value of $419 and total unearned interest income of $316 for the year then ended. As of December 31, 2012, the Operating Company's original
first lien position in ATI Acquisition Company was put on non-accrual status, with a cost basis of $4,306, a fair value of zero and total unearned
interest income of $653 for the year then ended. The Operating Company's two super priority first lien debt investments in ATI Acquisition
Company had a combined cost basis of $1,611 and a combined fair value of $752 as of December 31, 2012. During the third quarter of 2012, the

placed the super priority first lien positions on non-accrual status as well, resulting in total unearned interest income of $310 for the year ended
December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the Operating Company's total investment in ATI Acquisition Company had an aggregate cost basis
of $5,917 and an aggregate fair value of $752. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, unrealized gains (losses) include a fee that the
Operating Company would receive upon maturity of the two super priority first lien debt investments.
As of December 31, 2013, the Operating Company had unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities and bridge facilities of $15,500 and
$0, respectively. The Operating Company did not have any unfunded commitments in the form of a delayed draw or other future funding
commitments as of December 31, 2013. The unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities are disclosed on the Operating Company's
Consolidated Schedule of Investments as of December 31, 2013.
As of December 31, 2012, the Operating Company had unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities and bridge facilities of $10,500 and
$0, respectively. The Operating Company did not have any unfunded commitments in the form of a delayed draw or other future funding
commitments as of December 31, 2012. The unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities are disclosed on the Operating Company's
Consolidated Schedule of Investments as of December 31, 2012.
Investment risk factors—First and second lien debt that the Operating Company invests in is entirely, or almost entirely, rated below
investment grade or may be unrated. These loans are considered speculative because of the credit risk of the issuers. Such issuers are considered
more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal and such defaults could reduce the net asset value
and income distributions of the Operating Company. First and second lien debt may also lose significant market value before a default occurs.
Furthermore, an active trading market may not exist for these first and second lien loans. This illiquidity may make it more difficult to value the debt.
Subordinated debt is generally subject to similar risks as those associated with first and second lien debt, except that such debt is
subordinated in payment and /or lower in lien priority. Subordinated debt is subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the borrower and the
property securing the debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior secured and unsecured
obligations of the borrower.
Note 4. Fair Value
Fair value is the amount 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. Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), establishes
a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the inputs to valuation techniques used in measuring investments at fair value. The hierarchy
classifies the inputs used in measuring fair value into three levels as follows:
Level I—Quoted prices (unadjusted) are available in active markets for identical investments and the Operating Company has the ability to
access such quotes as of the reporting date. The type of investments which would generally be included in Level I include active exchange-traded
equity securities and exchange-traded derivatives. As required by ASC 820, the Operating Company, to the extent that it holds such investments,
does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Operating Company holds a large position and a sale could
reasonably impact the quoted price.
Level II—Pricing inputs are observable for the investments, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date, but are not the same as those
used in Level I. Level II inputs include the following:
• Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
• Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which
trade infrequently);
•
•
Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-
counter derivatives, including foreign exchange forward contracts); and
Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means
for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level III—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the
investment.

(in thousands, except units/shares and per unit/share data)
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels. In all instances when the inputs fall within different levels of the hierarchy,
the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement
in its entirety. As such, a Level III fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels I and II) and unobservable (Level III).
Gains and losses for such assets categorized within the Level III table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both
observable inputs (Levels II and III) and unobservable inputs (Level III).
The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation by management and consideration of factors specific
to each investment. A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation
inputs may result in the transfer of certain investments within the fair value hierarchy from period to period. Reclassifications impacting the fair
value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the respective leveling categories as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications
occur.

(1) As of December 31, 2012, the portfolio investments were transferred into Level III from Level II and out of Level III into Level II at fair
value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications occurred.
(2) This Level III transfer relates to the Operating Company's investment in warrants of YP Equity Investors LLC, which was valued with
YP Holdings LLC's second lien debt as of June 30, 2012.
Except as noted in the tables above, there were no other transfers in or out of Level I, II, or III during the years ended December 31, 2013 and
December 31, 2012. Transfers into Level III occurred as quotations obtained through pricing services were not deemed representative of fair value
as of the balance sheet date and such assets were internally valued. As quotations obtained through pricing services were substantiated through
additional market sources, investments were transferred out of Level III. The Operating Company invests in revolving credit facilities. These
investments are categorized as Level III investments as these assets are not actively traded and their fair values are often implied by the term loans
of the respective portfolio companies.
The Operating Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments where there are little, if any,
market activity or observable pricing inputs.
Company Performance, Financial Review, and Analysis: Prior to investment, as part of its due diligence process, the Operating Company
evaluates the overall performance and financial stability of the portfolio company. Post investment, the Operating Company analyzes each portfolio
company's current operating performance and relevant financial trends versus prior year and budgeted results, including, but not limited to, factors
affecting its revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") growth, margin trends, liquidity position,
covenant compliance and changes to its capital structure. The Operating Company also attempts to identify and subsequently track any
developments at the portfolio company, within its customer or vendor base or within the industry or the macroeconomic environment, generally,
that may alter any material element of its original investment thesis. This analysis is specific to each portfolio company. The Operating

(in thousands, except units/shares and per unit/share data)
Company leverages the knowledge gained from its original due diligence process, augmented by this subsequent monitoring, to continually refine
its outlook for each of its portfolio companies and ultimately form the valuation of its investment in each portfolio company. When an external event
such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent sale occurs, the Operating Company will consider the pricing indicated by the
external event to corroborate the private valuation.
Market Based Approach: The Operating Company typically estimates the total enterprise value of each portfolio company by utilizing
market value cash flow (EBITDA) multiples of publicly traded comparable companies. The Operating Company considers numerous factors when
selecting the appropriate companies whose trading multiples are used to value its portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to,
the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. The
Operating Company generally applies an average of various relevant comparable company EBITDA multiples to the portfolio company's latest
twelve month ("LTM") EBITDA or projected EBITDA to calculate portfolio company enterprise value. In applying the market based approach as of
December 31, 2013, the Operating Company used the relevant EBITDA ranges set forth in the table below to determine the enterprise value of
investments in six of its portfolio companies. The Operating Company believes this was a reasonable range in light of current comparable company
trading levels and the specific companies involved.
Income Based Approach: The Operating Company also typically uses a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of the
investment. Projected cash flows represent the relevant security's contractual interest, fee and principal payments plus the assumption of full
principal recovery at the investment's expected maturity date. These cash flows are discounted at a rate established utilizing a yield calibration
approach, which incorporates changes in the credit quality (as measured by relevant statistics) of the portfolio company, as compared to changes in
the yield associated with comparable credit quality market indices, between the date of origination and the valuation date. In applying the income
based approach as of December 31, 2013, the Operating Company used the discount ranges set forth in the table below to value investments in
eight of its portfolio companies.

Based on a comparison to similar BDC credit facilities, the terms and conditions of the Holdings Credit Facility and the SLF Credit Facility (as
defined in Note 7, Borrowing Facilities) are representative of market. The carrying values of the Holdings Credit Facility and SLF Credit Facility
approximate fair value as of December 31, 2013, as both facilities are continually monitored and examined by both the borrower and the lender. Both
facilities were amended and restated during the year ended December 31, 2012 to lower the applicable interest rate spread by 0.25% and to increase
the maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the respective facilities. Additionally for the year ended December 31, 2013, the
Holdings Credit Facility was amended and restated to further increase the maximum amount of revolving borrowings available. See Note 7,
Borrowing Facilities, for details. The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value based on the short term
nature of these items. The fair value disclosures discussed in this paragraph are considered Level III.

Fair value risk factors—The Operating Company seeks investment opportunities that offer the possibility of attaining substantial capital
appreciation. Certain events particular to each industry in which the Operating Company's portfolio companies conduct their operations, as well as
general economic and political conditions, may have a significant negative impact on the operations and profitability of the Operating Company's
investments and/or on the fair value of the Operating Company's investments. The Operating Company's investments are subject to the risk of non-
payment of scheduled interest or principal, resulting in a reduction in income to the Operating Company and thus the income of NMFC and AIV
Holdings, and their corresponding fair valuations. Also, there may be risk associated with the concentration of investments in one geographic
region or in certain industries. These events are beyond the control of the Operating Company and cannot be predicted. Furthermore, the ability to
liquidate investments and realize value is subject to uncertainties.
Note 5. Agreements
On May 19, 2011, NMFC entered into a joinder agreement with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated,
of the Operating Company pursuant to which NMFC was admitted as a member of the Operating Company and agreed to acquire from the Operating
Company a number of units of the Operating Company equal to the number of shares of common stock outstanding of NMFC. Additionally on
May 19, 2011, in connection with the contribution by Guardian AIV of its units to AIV Holdings, AIV Holdings entered into a joinder agreement
with respect to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended and restated, of the Operating Company pursuant to which AIV Holdings
was also admitted as a member of the Operating Company.
The Operating Company entered into an investment advisory and management agreement, as amended and restated (the "Investment
Management Agreement") with the Investment Adviser. Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser manages the day-
to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Operating Company. For providing these services, the Investment Adviser
receives a fee from the Operating Company, consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee.
The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Operating Company's gross assets less (i) the borrowings under the
SLF Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7, Borrowing Facilities) and (ii) cash and cash equivalents. The base management fee is payable quarterly in
arrears, and is calculated based on the average value of the Operating Company's gross assets, borrowings under the SLF Credit Facility, and cash
and cash equivalents at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis for
any equity capital raises or repurchases during the current calendar quarter.
The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals 20.0% of the Operating
Company's "Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income" for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a "preferred return", or "hurdle",
and a "catch-up" feature. "Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income" means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any
other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other
fees that the Operating Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Operating Company's operating
expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under an administration agreement, as amended and restated (the
"Administration Agreement"), with the Administrator, and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred
membership units (of which there are none as of December 31, 2013), but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income
includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero
coupon securities), accrued income that the Operating Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not
include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
Under GAAP, NMFC's IPO did not step-up the cost basis of the Operating Company's existing investments to fair market value at the IPO
date. Since the total value of the Operating Company's investments at the time of the IPO was greater than the investments' cost basis, a larger
amount of amortization of purchase or original issue discount, as well as different amounts in realized gain and unrealized appreciation, may be
recognized under GAAP in each period than if the step-up had occurred. This will remain until such predecessor investments are sold or mature in
the future. The Operating Company tracks the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its investments as of the time of the IPO and, for purposes
of the incentive fee calculation, adjusts Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income to reflect the amortization of purchase or original issue discount
on the

Operating Company's investments as if each investment was purchased at the date of the IPO, or stepped up to fair market value. This is defined as
"Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income". The Operating Company also uses the transferred (or fair market) value of each of its
investments as of the time of the IPO to adjust capital gains ("Adjusted Realized Capital Gains") or losses ("Adjusted Realized Capital Losses") and
unrealized capital appreciation ("Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation") and unrealized capital depreciation ("Adjusted Unrealized Capital
Depreciation").
Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Operating Company's net assets at the
end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a "hurdle rate" of 2.0% per quarter (8.0% annualized), subject to a "catch-up"
provision measured as of the end of each calendar quarter. The hurdle rate is appropriately pro-rated for any partial periods. The calculation of the
Operating Company's incentive fee with respect to the Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income for each quarter is as follows:
• No incentive fee is payable to the Investment Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Operating Company's Pre-Incentive Fee
Adjusted Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0% (the "preferred return" or "hurdle").
•
100.0% of the Operating Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-
Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5% in any calendar
quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser. This portion of the Operating Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted
Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5%) is referred to as the "catch-up". The catch-up
provision is intended to provide the Investment Adviser with an incentive fee of 20.0% on all of the Operating Company's Pre-Incentive
Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income as if a hurdle rate did not apply when the Operating Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net
Investment Income exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter.
•
20.0% of the amount of the Operating Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Adjusted Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any
calendar quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to the Investment Adviser once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved.
The second part will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment
Management Agreement) and will equal 20.0% of the Operating Company's Adjusted Realized Capital Gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from
inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital
Depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fee.
In accordance with GAAP, the Operating Company accrues a hypothetical capital gains incentive fee based upon the cumulative net
Adjusted Realized Capital Gains and Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and the cumulative net Adjusted Unrealized Capital Appreciation and
Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on investments held at the end of each period. Actual amounts paid to the Investment Adviser are
consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and are based only on actual Adjusted Realized Capital Gains computed net of all
Adjusted Realized Capital Losses and Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each
calendar year as if the entire portfolio was sold at fair value.
The Operating Company has revised its presentation of incentive fees on the Consolidated Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Members'
Capital and the Consolidated Statements of Operations to disclose the two parts of the incentive fee incurred by the Operating Company for net
investment income related incentive fees and capital gains related incentive fees.

Agreement, as cumulative net Adjusted Realized Capital Gains exceeded cumulative Adjusted Unrealized Capital Depreciation. As of

administrative services. The Administrator performs, or oversees the performance of, the Companies' financial records, prepares reports filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, generally monitors the payment of the Companies' expenses, and watches the performance of
administrative and professional services rendered by others. The Operating Company will reimburse the Administrator for the Companies' allocable
portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations to the Companies under the Administration
Agreement. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement and further restricted by the Operating Company, expenses payable to the Administrator by
the Operating Company as well as other direct and indirect expenses (excluding interest, other credit facility expenses, trading expenses and
management and incentive fees) have been capped at $3,500 for the time period from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 and capped at $4,250 for the

The Companies, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator have also entered into a Trademark License Agreement, as amended, with
New Mountain Capital, L.L.C., pursuant to which New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. has agreed to grant the Companies, the Investment Adviser and the
Administrator, a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the "New Mountain" and the "New Mountain Finance" names. Under the Trademark
License Agreement, as amended, subject to certain conditions, the Companies, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator will have a right to
use the "New Mountain" and "New Mountain Finance" names, for so long as the Investment Adviser or one of its affiliates remains the investment
adviser of the Operating Company. Other than with respect to this limited license, the Companies, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator
will have no legal right to the "New Mountain" or the "New Mountain Finance" names.
NMFC entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with AIV Holdings, Steven B. Klinsky (the Chairman of the Companies' board of
directors), an entity related to Steven B. Klinsky and the Investment Adviser. Subject to several exceptions, AIV Holdings and the Investment
Adviser have the right to require NMFC to register for public resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act of 1933"), all
registerable securities that are held by any of them and that they request to be registered. Registerable securities subject to the Registration Rights
Agreement are shares of NMFC's common stock issued or issuable in exchange for units and any other shares of NMFC's common stock held by
AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and any of their transferees. The rights under the Registration Rights Agreement can be conditionally
exercised by AIV Holdings or the Investment Adviser, meaning that prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement related to the shares,
AIV Holdings or the Investment Adviser can withdraw their request to have the shares registered. AIV Holdings and the Investment Adviser may
each assign their rights to any person that acquires registerable securities subject to the Registration Rights Agreement and who agrees to be
bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. Steven B. Klinsky and a related entity will have the right to "piggyback", or include their
own registerable securities in such a registration. Shares held by AIV Holdings and Steven B. Klinsky were registered on a shelf registration
statement on Form N-2.
AIV Holdings and the Investment Adviser may require NMFC to use its reasonable best efforts to register under the Securities Act of 1933 all
or any portion of these registerable securities upon a "demand request". The demand registration rights are subject to certain limitations.
The Registration Rights Agreement includes limited blackout and suspension periods. In addition, AIV Holdings and the Investment Adviser
may also require NMFC to file a shelf registration statement on Form N-2 for the resale of their registerable securities if NMFC is eligible to use
Form N-2 at that time.
Holders of registerable securities have "piggyback" registration rights, including AIV Holdings, which means that these holders may include
their respective shares in any future registrations of NMFC's equity securities, whether or not that registration relates to a primary offering by
NMFC or a secondary offering by or on behalf of any of NMFC's stockholders. AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a
related entity) have priority over NMFC in any registration that is an underwritten offering.
AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a related entity) will be responsible for the expenses of any demand
registration (including underwriters' discounts or commissions) and their pro-rata share of any "piggyback" registration. NMFC has agreed to
indemnify AIV Holdings, the Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a related entity)

with respect to liabilities resulting from untrue statements or omissions in any registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement, other than untrue statements or omissions resulting from information furnished to NMFC by such parties. AIV Holdings, the
Investment Adviser and Steven B. Klinsky (and a related entity) have also agreed to indemnify NMFC with respect to liabilities resulting from
untrue statements or omissions furnished by them to NMFC relating to them in any registration statement.
Note 6. Related Parties
The Companies have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties. NMFC and AIV Holdings own all the
outstanding units of the Operating Company. As of December 31, 2013, NMFC and AIV Holdings own approximately 94.4% and 5.6%, respectively,
of the units of the Operating Company.
The Operating Company has entered into the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Adviser, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of New Mountain Capital. Therefore, New Mountain Capital is entitled to any profits earned by the Investment Adviser, which includes any fees
payable to the Investment Adviser under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, less expenses incurred by the Investment Adviser
in performing its services under the Investment Management Agreement.
The Companies have entered into an Administration Agreement with the Administrator, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mountain Capital.
The Administrator arranges office space for the Companies and provides office equipment and administrative services necessary to conduct their
respective day-to-day operations pursuant to the Administration Agreement. The Operating Company reimburses the Administrator for the
allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations to the Companies under the Administration Agreement
including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing administrative, finance and compliance functions, and the compensation of the
Companies' chief financial officer and chief compliance officer and their respective staffs. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement and further
restricted by the Operating Company, expenses payable to the Administrator by the Operating Company as well as other direct and indirect
expenses (excluding interest, other credit facility expenses, trading expenses and management and incentive fees) have been capped at $3,500 for
the time period from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 and capped at $4,250 for the time period from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. The expense cap
will expire on March 31, 2014. Thereafter, the Administrator may, in its own discretion, submit to the Operating Company for reimbursement some or
all of the expenses that the Administrator has incurred on behalf of the Operating Company during any quarterly period. As a result, the amount of
expenses for which the Operating Company will have to reimburse the Administrator may fluctuate in future quarterly periods and there can be no
assurance given as to when, or if, the Administrator may determine to limit the expenses that the Administrator submits to the Operating Company
for reimbursement in the future. However, it is expected that the Administrator will continue to support part of the expense burden of the Operating
Company in the near future.
The Companies, the Investment Adviser and the Administrator have entered into a royalty-free Trademark License Agreement, as amended,
with New Mountain Capital, L.L.C., pursuant to which New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. has agreed to grant the Companies, the Investment Adviser
and the Administrator, a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name "New Mountain" and "New Mountain Finance".
The Companies have adopted a formal code of ethics that governs the conduct of their respective officers and directors. These officers and
directors also remain subject to the duties imposed by the 1940 Act, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Limited Liability
Company Act.
The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may also manage other funds in the future that may have investment mandates that are similar, in
whole and in part, with the Operating Company' investment mandates. The Investment Adviser and its affiliates may determine that an investment is
appropriate for the Operating Company and for one or more of those other funds. In such event, depending on the availability of such investment
and other appropriate factors, the Investment Adviser or its affiliates may determine that the Operating Company should invest side-by-side with
one or more other funds. Any such investments will be made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and interpretive positions of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and its staff, and consistent with the Investment Adviser's allocation procedures.
Concurrently with the IPO, NMFC sold an additional 2,172,000 shares of its common stock to certain executives and employees of, and other
individuals affiliated with, New Mountain Capital in the Concurrent Private Placement.

Note 7. Borrowing Facilities
Holdings Credit Facility—The Loan and Security Agreement, as amended and restated, dated May 19, 2011 (the "Holdings Credit Facility")
among the Operating Company as the Borrower and Collateral Administrator, Wells Fargo Securities, L.L.C. as the Administrative Agent, and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral Custodian, is structured as a revolving credit facility and matures on October 27, 2016, as
amended on May 8, 2012. The Operating Company became a party to the Holdings Credit Facility upon the IPO of NMFC. The Holdings Credit
Facility amends and restates the credit facility of the Predecessor Entities (the "Predecessor Credit Facility").
The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the Holdings Credit Facility is $280,000, as amended on October 28, 2013. As of
December 31, 2013, the Operating Company was permitted to borrow up to 45.0% or 25.0% of the purchase price of pledged first lien or non-first lien
debt securities, and up to 70.0% and 45.0% of the purchase price of specified first lien debt securities and specified non-first lien debt securities,
respectively, subject to approval by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Holdings Credit Facility is collateralized by all of the investments
of the Operating Company on an investment by investment basis. All fees associated with the origination or upsizing of the Holdings Credit Facility
are capitalized on the Operating Company's Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Members' Capital and charged against income as
other credit facility expenses over the life of the Holdings Credit Facility. The Holdings Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and
negative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a change in control. In addition, the Holdings Credit Facility requires the
Operating Company to maintain a minimum asset coverage ratio. However, the covenants are generally not tied to mark to market fluctuations in the
prices of the Operating Company's investments, but rather to the performance of the underlying portfolio companies.
The Holdings Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.75% per annum, as amended on
May 8, 2012, and charges a non-usage fee, based on the unused facility amount multiplied by the Non-Usage Fee Rate (as defined in the credit
agreement).
The following table summarizes the interest expense and non-usage fees incurred by the Operating Company on the Holdings Credit Facility
for the years ended December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

$206,938 and $129,038, respectively, and the Operating Company was not aware of any instances of non-compliance related to the Holdings Credit
Facility on such dates.
SLF Credit Facility—NMF SLF's Loan and Security Agreement, as amended and restated, dated October 27, 2010 (the "SLF Credit Facility")
among NMF SLF as the Borrower, the Operating Company as the Collateral Administrator, Wells Fargo Securities, L.L.C. as the Administrative
Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Collateral Custodian, is structured as a revolving credit facility and matures on
October 27, 2016, as amended on May 8, 2012. The maximum amount of revolving borrowings available under the SLF Credit Facility is $215,000, as
amended on December 18, 2012. The loan is non-recourse to the Operating Company and secured by all assets owned by the borrower on an
investment by investment basis. All fees associated with the origination or upsizing of the SLF Credit Facility are capitalized on the Consolidated
Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Members' Capital and charged against income as other credit facility expenses over the life of the SLF Credit
Facility. The SLF Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including the occurrence of a
change in control. The covenants are generally not tied to mark to market fluctuations in the prices of our investments, but rather to the
performance of the underlying portfolio companies. Due to an amendment to the SLF Credit Facility on October 27, 2011, NMF SLF is no longer
restricted from the purchase or sale of loans with an affiliate. Therefore, specified loans can be moved as collateral between the Holdings Credit
Facility and the SLF Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2013, the SLF Credit Facility permits borrowings of up to 70.0% of the purchase price of pledged first lien debt securities
and up to 25.0% of the purchase price of specified second lien loans, of which, up to 25.0% of the aggregate outstanding loan balance of all pledged
debt securities in the SLF Credit Facility is allowed to be derived from second lien loans, subject to approval by Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as amended on March 11, 2013.
The SLF Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum for first lien loans and 2.75% for second lien loans,
respectively, as amended on March 11, 2013. A non-usage fee is paid, based on the unused facility amount multiplied by the Non-Usage Fee Rate
(as defined in the credit agreement).
The following table summarizes the interest expense and non-usage fees incurred by the Operating Company on the SLF Credit Facility for the

The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $214,668, $214,262 and $165,928,
respectively, and NMF SLF was not aware of any instances of non-compliance related to the SLF Credit Facility on such dates.
Leverage risk factors—The Operating Company utilizes and may utilize leverage to the maximum extent permitted by the law for investment
and other general business purposes. The Operating Company's lenders will have fixed dollar claims on certain assets that are superior to the claims
of the Operating Company's unit holders, and therefore NMFC's common stockholders, and the Operating Company would expect such lenders to
seek recovery against these assets in the event of a default. The use of leverage also magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested.
Leverage may magnify interest rate risk (particularly on the Operating Company's fixed-rate investments), which is the risk that the prices of
portfolio investments will fall or rise if market interest rates for those types of securities rise or fall. As a result, leverage may cause greater changes
in the Operating Company's net asset value. Similarly, leverage may cause a sharper decline in the Operating Company's income than if the
Operating Company had not borrowed. Such a decline could negatively affect the Operating Company's ability to make dividend payments to its
unit holders. Leverage is generally considered a speculative investment technique. The Operating Company's ability to service any debt incurred
will depend largely on financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures.
Note 8. Regulation
NMFC and AIV Holdings have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to continue to qualify annually, as RICs
under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to continue to qualify as RICs, among other things, NMFC and AIV Holdings are required to timely
distribute to their stockholders at least 90.0% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. NMFC and AIV
Holdings, among other things, intend to make and continue to make the requisite distributions to their stockholders, which will generally relieve
NMFC and AIV Holdings from U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes (excluding excise taxes which may be imposed under the Code). However,
under certain circumstances, the distributions that the Operating Company makes to its members may not be sufficient for AIV Holdings to satisfy
the annual distribution requirement necessary for AIV Holdings to continue to qualify as a RIC. In that case, it is expected that Guardian AIV would
consent to be treated as if it received distributions from AIV Holdings sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirement. Guardian AIV would
be required to include the consent dividend in its taxable income as dividend from AIV Holdings, which would result in phantom (i.e., non-cash)
taxable income to Guardian AIV.
Additionally as BDCs, the Companies must not acquire any assets other than "qualifying assets" specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time
the acquisition is made, at least 70.0% of its total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions).

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Companies may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which
provide general indemnifications. The Operating Company may also enter into future funding commitments such as revolving credit facilities, bridge
financing commitments, or delayed draw commitments. As of December 31, 2013, the Operating Company had unfunded commitments on revolving
credit facilities of $15,500, and no outstanding bridge financing commitments or other future funding commitments. The unfunded commitments on
revolving credit facilities are disclosed on the Operating Company's Consolidated Schedule of Investments. As of December 31, 2012, the Operating
Company had unfunded commitments on revolving credit facilities of $10,500 and no outstanding bridge financing commitments or other future
funding commitments, all of which are disclosed on the Operating Company's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
The Operating Company also has revolving borrowings available under the Holdings Credit Facility and the SLF Credit Facility as of
December 31, 2013. See Note 7, Borrowing Facilities, for details.
The Operating Company may from time to time enter into financing commitment letters. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the
Operating Company did not enter into any commitment letters to purchase debt investments, which could require funding in the future.
Note 10. Distributions
Differences between taxable income and the results of operations for financial reporting purposes may be permanent or temporary in nature.
Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Differences in classification
may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. During the years ended December 31, 2013, December 31,
2012 and December 31, 2011, NMFC did not have any reclassifications of amounts for book purposes arising from permanent book/tax differences.
During the years ended December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, AIV Holdings had reclassifications of amounts for book
purposes arising from permanent book/tax differences related to return of capital distributions and consent dividends, respectively.

(a) For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total return is calculated assuming a purchase at net asset value on the
opening of the first day of the year and a sale at net asset value on the last day of the respective year. Dividends and distributions, if
any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at the net asset value on the last day of the respective quarter. For
the year ended December 31, 2011, total return is calculated in two parts: (1) from the opening of the first day of the year to NMFC's
IPO date, total return is calculated based on net income over weighted average net assets and (2) from NMFC's IPO date to the last
day of the year, total return is calculated assuming a purchase at net asset value on NMFC's IPO date and a sale at net asset value on
the last day of the year. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at the net
asset value on the last day of the respective quarter. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, total return is the
ratio of net income compared to capital, adjusted for capital contributions and distributions.
(b) Weighted average common membership units outstanding presented from May 19, 2011 to December 31, 2011, as the fund became

Note 15. Recent Accounting Standards Updates
In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-08, Financial Services—
Investment Companies (Topic 946)—Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2013-08"), which contains new
guidance on assessing whether an entity is an investment company, requiring non-controlling ownership interests in investment companies to be
measured at fair value and requiring certain additional disclosures. ASU 2013-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies' financial statements.
Note 16. Subsequent Events
On January 27, 2014, NMFC announced that the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") issued a "green light" letter inviting NMFC to
continue its application process to obtain a license to form and operate a Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") subsidiary. If approved, a
SBIC license would provide NMFC with an incremental source of attractive long-term capital.
Receipt of a green light letter from the SBA does not assure an applicant that the SBA will ultimately issue an SBIC license, and NMFC has
received no assurance or indication from the SBA that it will receive a SBIC license, or of the timeframe in which it would receive a license, should
one ultimately be granted.
On February 3, 2014, NMFC completed an underwritten secondary public offering of 2,325,000 shares of its common stock on behalf of a
selling stockholder, AIV Holdings, at a public offering price of $14.70 per share. In connection with the underwritten secondary public offering, the
underwriters purchased an additional 346,938 shares of NMFC's common stock from AIV Holdings with the exercise of the overallotment option to
purchase up to an additional 346,938 shares of common stock. NMFC did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of NMFC's common
stock by AIV Holdings. The Operating Company and NMFC did not bear any expenses in connection with this offering. The offering expenses were
borne by the selling stockholder, AIV Holdings. As of February 3, 2014, AIV Holdings no longer owns any units of the Operating Company and
NMFC owns 100.0% of the outstanding units of the Operating Company. As a result, the Companies' current organizational structure may be
collapsed or simplified in the future.
On March 4, 2014, the Operating Company's board of directors, and subsequently NMFC's board of directors, declared a first quarter 2014
distribution of $0.34 per unit/share payable on March 31, 2014 to holders of record as of March 17, 2014.
