On November 7, 2012, we converted from a limited liability company into a corporation. In this conversion, or the BDC Conversion, OFS Capitalsucceeded to the business of OFS Capital, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, and the sole member of OFS Capital, LLC became the sole shareholder ofOFS Capital. Thereafter, we filed an election to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, asamended, or the 1940 Act. Unless otherwise indicated, the disclosure in this annual report on Form 10-K gives effect to the BDC Conversion. Item 1.Business General We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. Our investment objective is to provide ourshareholders with both current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments and, to a lesser extent, equity investments. Ourinvestment strategy focuses primarily on investments in middle-market companies in the United States. We use the term “middle-market” to refer tocompanies that may exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: number of employees between 150 and 2,000; revenues between $15 million and$300 million; annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, between $3 million and $50 million; generally, privatecompanies owned by private equity firms or owners/operators; and enterprise value between $10 million and $500 million. For additional information abouthow we define the middle-market, see “General—Investment Criteria/Guidelines.” As of December 31, 2014, our investment portfolio consisted of outstanding loans of approximately $301.3 million in aggregate principal amount in61 portfolio companies, of which $177.8 million in aggregate principal amount was held by OFS SBIC I, LP (formerly known as Tamarix Capital Partners,L.P.), or SBIC I LP, our wholly-owned small business investment company, in 25 portfolio companies, as well as equity investments of approximately $18.0million, at fair value, held by SBIC I LP. As of December 31, 2014, 77% of our investment portfolio was comprised of senior secured loans, 17% ofsubordinated loans and 6% of equity investments, at fair value. While our investment strategy focuses primarily on middle-market companies in the United States, including senior secured loans, which includesfirst-lien, second-lien and unitranche loans as well as subordinated loans and, to a lesser extent, warrants and other minority equity securities, we also mayinvest up to 30% of our portfolio in opportunistic investments of non-eligible portfolio companies. Specifically, as part of this 30% basket, we may considerinvestments in investment funds that are operating pursuant to certain exceptions to the 1940 Act and in advisers to similar investment funds, as well as indebt of middle-market companies located outside of the United States and debt and equity of public companies that do not meet the definition of eligibleportfolio companies because their market capitalization of publicly traded equity securities exceeds the levels provided for in the 1940 Act. Our investment strategy includes SBIC I LP, which received an SBIC license from the U.S. Small Business Administration, or SBA, in May 2012. OnDecember 4, 2013, we received approval from the SBA to acquire all of the limited partnership interests in SBIC I LP and all of the ownership interests of itsgeneral partner, OFS SBIC I GP, LLC (formerly known as Tamarix Capital G.P. LLC), or SBIC I GP, that were owned or subscribed for by other persons (the“SBIC Acquisitions” or the “Tamarix Acquisitions”). We acquired the interests on December 4, 2013, which resulted in SBIC I LP becoming a wholly-ownedsubsidiary. The transaction was finalized in January 2014. For additional information on the acquisition of SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP, see “Item 8 – FinancialStatements and Supplementary Data - Note 4.” The SBIC license allows SBIC I LP to receive SBA-guaranteed debenture funding, subject to the issuance of aleverage commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. SBA leverage funding is subject to SBIC I LP’s payment of certain fees to the SBA, andthe ability of SBIC I LP to draw on the leverage commitment is subject to its compliance with SBA regulations and policies, including an audit by the SBA.For additional information regarding the regulation of SBIC I LP, see “- Regulation—Small Business Investment Company Regulations.” 3 On November 26, 2013, we received an exemptive order from the SEC to permit us to exclude the debt of SBIC I LP guaranteed by the SBA from thedefinition of senior securities in the statutory 200% asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act, allowing for greater capital deployment. Our investment activities are managed by OFS Capital Management, LLC, or OFS Advisor, and supervised by our board of directors, a majority ofwhom are independent of us, OFS Advisor and its affiliates. Under the investment advisory agreement between us and OFS Advisor, or the InvestmentAdvisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay OFS Advisor an annual base management fee based on the average value of our total assets (other than cash andcash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity) as well as an incentive feebased on our investment performance. We have elected to exclude from the base management fee calculation any base management fee that would be owedin respect of the intangible asset and goodwill resulting from our acquisitions of the remaining ownership interests in SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP on December4, 2013. We have also entered into an administration agreement, or Administration Agreement, with OFS Capital Services, LLC, or OFS Services, ourAdministrator. Under our Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse OFS Services for our allocable portion (subject to the review and approvalof our independent directors) of overhead and other expenses incurred by OFS Services in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Underthe relevant SEC rules, the term “eligible portfolio company” includes all private companies, companies whose securities are not listed on a nationalsecurities exchange, and certain public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market capitalization of lessthan $250 million, in each case organized in the United States. We are permitted to borrow money from time to time within the levels permitted by the 1940 Act (which generally allows us to incur leverage for upto 50% of our asset base). We may borrow money when the terms and conditions available are favorable to do so and are aligned with our investment strategyand portfolio composition. The use of borrowed funds or the proceeds of preferred stock to make investments would have its own specific benefits and risks,and all of the costs of borrowing funds or issuing preferred stock would be borne by holders of our common stock. We have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of1986, or the Code. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and assets diversification requirements. Pursuant to theseelections, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income we distribute to our shareholders. About OFS and Our Advisor OFS (which refers to the collective activities and operations of Orchard First Source Asset Management, LLC (“OFSAM”) and its subsidiaries andcertain affiliates) is an established investment platform focused on meeting the capital needs of middle-market companies. OFS is the successor to FirstSource Financial Inc., which was founded in 1995 as a joint venture between Dominion Capital, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dominion Resources,Inc., or Dominion, and Household Commercial Financial Services Inc., a unit of Household International, or Household. Household sold its interest in FirstSource Financial Inc. to Dominion in 1997. In 2003, Orchard Paladin Management, LLC, our predecessor, acquired from Dominion a portfolio of performingand non-performing loans of approximately $625 million in aggregate commitment amount, plus additional investments in equity securities. Shortlythereafter, in 2004, Orchard Paladin Management, LLC acquired Dominion’s interest in First Source Financial Inc. Many of the workouts managed by oursenior managers since 2003 involved loans in the portfolio acquired from Dominion and loans acquired as a result of the purchase of Dominion’s interest inFirst Source Financial Inc. As of December 31, 2014, OFS had 37 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees. OFS is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and also hasadditional offices in New York, New York and Los Angeles, California. Our investment activities are managed by OFS Advisor, our investment adviser. OFS Advisor is responsible for sourcing potential investments,conducting research and diligence on potential investments and equity sponsors, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring our investments andmonitoring our investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. OFS Advisor is a subsidiary of OFSAM, our parent company prior to thecompletion of our IPO, and is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or the Advisers Act. Our relationship with OFS Advisor is governed by and dependent on the Investment Advisory Agreement and may be subject to conflicts of interest.OFS Advisor provides us with advisory services in exchange for a base management fee and incentive fee. See “—Management and Other Agreements—Investment Advisory Agreement” for a discussion of the base management fee and incentive fee payable by us to OFS Advisor. The base management fee isbased on our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents and the intangible asset and goodwill resulting from the SBIC Acquisitions but includingassets purchased with borrowed amounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity) and, therefore, OFS Advisor will benefit when we incur debtor use leverage. Our board of directors is charged with protecting our interests by monitoring how OFS Advisor addresses these and other conflicts of interestassociated with its management services and compensation. While our board of directors is not expected to review or approve each borrowing or incurrenceof leverage, our independent directors will periodically review OFS Advisor’s services and fees as well as its portfolio management decisions and portfolioperformance. 4 OFS Advisor has entered into a Staffing Agreement with Orchard First Source Capital, Inc., or OFSC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFSAM. Underthe Staffing Agreement, OFSC makes experienced investment professionals available to OFS Advisor and provides access to the senior investment personnelof OFS and its affiliates. The Staffing Agreement provides OFS Advisor with access to deal flow generated by OFS and its affiliates in the ordinary course oftheir businesses and commits the members of OFS Advisor’s investment committee to serve in that capacity. As our investment adviser, OFS Advisor isobligated to allocate investment opportunities among us and any other clients fairly and equitably over time in accordance with its allocation policy. OFS Advisor capitalizes on the deal origination and sourcing, credit underwriting, due diligence, investment structuring, execution, portfoliomanagement and monitoring experience of OFS’s professionals. The senior management team of OFS, including Bilal Rashid, Jeff Cerny and Mark Hauser,provides services to OFS Advisor. These managers have developed a broad network of contacts within the investment community, averaging over 20 years ofexperience investing in debt and equity securities of middle-market companies. In addition, these managers have gained extensive experience investing inassets that will constitute our primary focus and have expertise in investing across all levels of the capital structure of middle-market companies. Our Administrator OFS Services, an affiliate of OFS Advisor, provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate. OFS Services furnishes us with officefacilities and equipment, necessary software licenses and subscriptions and clerical, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services at such facilities. OFS Servicesoversees our financial reporting as well as prepares our reports to shareholders and all other reports and materials required to be filed with the U.S. Securitiesand Exchange Commission, or SEC, or any other regulatory authority. OFS Services also manages the determination and publication of our net asset valueand the preparation and filing of our tax returns and generally monitors the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professionalservices rendered to us by others. OFS Services may retain third parties to assist in providing administrative services to us. To the extent that OFS Servicesoutsources any of its functions, we will pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without incremental profit to OFS Services. Market Opportunity Our investment strategy is focused primarily on investments in middle-market companies in the United States. We find the middle-market attractivefor the following reasons: Large Target Market. According to the U.S. Census Bureau in its 2007 economic census, there were approximately 196,000 companies in theUnited States with annual revenues between $10 million and $2.5 billion, compared with 1,200 companies with revenues greater than $2.5 billion. Webelieve that these middle-market companies represent a significant growth segment of the U.S. economy and often require substantial capital investments togrow. Middle-market companies have historically constituted the vast bulk of OFS’s portfolio companies since its inception, and constituted the vast bulk ofour portfolio as of December 31, 2014. We believe that this market segment will continue to produce significant investment opportunities for us. Specialized Lending Requirements with High Barriers to Entry. We believe that several factors render many U.S. financial institutions ill-suited tolend to U.S. middle-market companies. For example, based on the experience of our management team, lending to private middle-market companies in theUnited States (a) is generally more labor-intensive than lending to larger companies due to the smaller size of each investment and the fragmented nature ofinformation for such companies, (b) requires due diligence and underwriting practices consistent with the demands and economic limitations of the middle-market and (c) may also require more extensive ongoing monitoring by the lender. As a result, middle-market companies historically have been served by alimited segment of the lending community. As a result of the unique challenges facing lenders to middle-market companies, there are high barriers to entrythat a new lender must overcome. Robust Demand for Debt Capital. We believe that private equity firms have significant committed but uncalled capital, a large portion of which isstill available for investment in the United States. We expect the large amount of unfunded buyout commitments will drive demand for leveraged buyoutsover the next several years, which should, in turn, create leveraged lending opportunities for us. Investment Criteria/Guidelines Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in middle-market companies in the UnitedStates. Although we will continue to focus on investments in senior secured loans, including first lien, second lien, and unitranche loans, we have alsoexpanded into additional asset classes in which the investment professionals of OFS Advisor have expertise, including investments in subordinated loansand, to a lesser extent, warrants and other minority equity securities. In particular, we believe that structured equity debt investments (i.e., senior securedunitranche loans, typically with warrant coverage, in companies with no financial sponsor) represent a significant growth opportunity offering the borrowerthe convenience of dealing with one lender, which may result in a higher blended rate of interest to us than we might expect to receive under a traditionalmulti-tranche structure. We expect that our investments in the equity securities of portfolio companies, such as warrants, preferred stock, common stock andother equity interests, will principally be made in conjunction with our debt investments. Generally, we do not expect to make investments in companies orsecurities that OFS Advisor determines to be distressed investments (such as discounted debt instruments that have either experienced a default or have asignificant potential for default), other than follow-on investments in portfolio companies of ours. We intend to continue to generate strong risk-adjusted netreturns by assembling a diversified portfolio of investments across a broad range of industries. We target U.S. middle-market companies by utilizing our proprietary database of borrowers developed over OFS’s more than 19 years in lending tomiddle-market companies, as well as through OFS’s access to a network of financial institutions, private equity sponsors, investment banks, consultants andattorneys. A typical targeted borrower will exhibit certain of the following characteristics: •number of employees between 150 and 2,000; 5 •revenues between $15 million and $300 million; •annual EBITDA between $3 million and $50 million; •generally, private companies owned by private equity firms or owners/operators; •enterprise value between $10 million and $500 million; •effective and experienced management teams; •defensible market share; •solid historical financial performance, including a steady stream of cash flow; •high degree of recurring revenue; •diversity of customers, markets, products and geography; and •differentiated products or services. While we believe that the characteristics listed above are important in identifying and investing in prospective portfolio companies, not all of thesecriteria will be met by each prospective portfolio company. Due Diligence and Investment Process Overview We employ a thorough and disciplined underwriting and due diligence process that is conducted in accordance with established credit policies andprocedures and that is focused on investment recovery. Our process involves a comprehensive analysis of a prospective portfolio company’s market,operational, financial, and legal position, as well as its future prospects. In addition to our own analysis, we may use the services of third parties forenvironmental reviews, quality of earnings reports, industry surveys, background checks on key managers, and insurance reviews. We seek to invest in companies that have experienced and incentivized management teams, that have stable and predictable cash flows, and thathave defensible market positions. We underwrite our investments with the expectation that we will hold those investments for a number of years, and westructure and document our investments accordingly. Our due diligence and underwriting process typically addresses the following elements (although certain elements may not be included in every duediligence undertaking): •Prospective Portfolio Company Characteristics: focusing on primary drivers of the company’s revenues and cash flows, including its keyproducts and services; customer and supplier concentrations and contractual relationships; depth, breadth, and quality of company management,as well as the extent to which the management team is appropriately compensated with equity incentives; and any regulatory, labor, or litigationmatters impacting the company. •Industry and Competitive Overview: including industry size and the company’s position within it; growth potential and barriers to entry;governmental, regulatory, or technological issues potentially affecting the industry; and cyclicality or seasonality risks associated with theindustry. •Financial Analysis: involving an understanding of the company’s historical financial results, focusing on actual operating trends experiencedover time, in order to forecast future performance, including in various sensitized performance scenarios; attention to projected cash flows, debtservice coverage, and leverage multiples under such scenarios; and an assessment of enterprise valuations and debt repayment/investmentrecovery prospects given such sensitized performance scenarios. •Investment Documentation: focusing on obtaining the best legal protections available to us given our position within the capital structure,including, as appropriate, financial covenants; collateral liens and stock pledges; review of loan documents of other of the prospective portfoliocompany’s creditors; and negotiation of inter-creditor agreements. Portfolio Review/Risk Monitoring We view active portfolio monitoring as a vital part of our investment process, and we benefit from a portfolio management system developed by OFSthat includes daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly components, and that involves comprehensive review of the performance of each of our portfoliocompanies. As part of the portfolio management process, OFS Advisor performs ongoing risk assessment on each of our investments and assigns each debtinvestment a credit rating based on OFS’s internal ratings scale. 6 We categorize debt investments into the following risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt: 1 (Low Risk) – A risk rated 1, or Low Risk, credit is a credit that has most satisfactory asset quality and liquidity, as well as good leverage capacity.It maintains predictable and strong cash flows from operations. The trends and outlook for the credit’s operations, balance sheet, and industry are neutral tofavorable. Collateral, if appropriate, has maintained value and would be capable of being liquidated on a timely basis. Overall a 1 rated credit would beconsidered to be of investment grade quality. 2 (Below Average Risk) – A risk rated 2, or Below Average Risk, credit is a credit that has acceptable asset quality, moderate excess liquidity,modest leverage capacity. It could have some financial/non-financial weaknesses which are offset by strengths; however, the credit demonstrates an amplecurrent cash flow from operations. The trends and outlook for the credit’s operations, balance sheet, and industry are generally positive or neutral tosomewhat negative. Collateral, if appropriate, has maintained value and would be capable of being liquidated successfully on a timely basis. 3 (Average) – A risk rated 3, or Average, credit is a credit that has acceptable asset quality, somewhat strained liquidity, minimal leverage capacity. Itis at times characterized by just acceptable cash flows from operations. Under adverse market conditions, carrying the current debt service could posedifficulties for the borrower. The trends and conditions of the credit’s operations and balance sheet are neutral to slightly negative. 4 (Special Mention) – A risk rated 4, or Special Mention, credit is a credit with no apparent loss of principal or interest envisioned. Nonetheless, itpossesses credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses which deserve management’s close and continued attention. The credit’s operations and/or balancesheet have demonstrated an adverse trend or deterioration which, while serious, has not reached the point where the liquidation of debt is jeopardized. Theseweaknesses are generally considered correctable by the borrower in the normal course of business but may if not checked or corrected, weaken the asset orinadequately protect our credit position. 5 (Substandard) – A risk rated 5, or Substandard, credit is a credit inadequately protected by the current enterprise value or paying capacity of theobligor or of the collateral, if any. These credits have well-defined weaknesses based upon objective evidence, such as recurring or significant decreases inrevenues and cash flows. These assets are characterized by the possibility that we may sustain loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The possibility thatliquidation would not be timely (e.g. bankruptcy or foreclosure) requires a Substandard classification even if there is little likelihood of loss. 6 (Doubtful) – A risk rated 6, or Doubtful, credit is a credit with all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the additionalfactor that the weaknesses are pronounced to the point that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values isdeemed uncertain. The possibility of loss on a Doubtful asset is high but, because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors which maystrengthen the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status can be determined. 7 (Loss) – A risk rated 7, or Loss, credit is a credit considered almost fully uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance as an asset is notwarranted. It is generally a credit that is no longer supported by an operating company, a credit where the majority of our assets have been liquidated or soldand a few assets remain to be sold over many months or even years, or a credit where the remaining collections are expected to be minimal. As of December 31, 2014, we had debt investments in 61 portfolio companies, totaling $294.2 million at fair value, of which $13.6 million, $272.4million, $7.4 million, $0.0 million, and $0.8 million were rated 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively. Investment Committees The purpose of our investment committees is to evaluate and approve our prospective investments, subject at all times to the oversight of our boardof directors. OFS Advisor’s investment committee, or the Advisor Investment Committee, which is comprised of Richard Ressler (Chairman), Jeffrey Cerny, PeterFidler, Mark Hauser, Bilal Rashid, and Peter Rothschild, is responsible for our overall asset allocation decisions, as well as approval of all of investmentsmade by us directly or through OFS Capital WM, LLC (“OFS Capital WM”). Certain members of the Advisor Investment Committee perform a similar role forother investments managed by OFS and its affiliates. The investment committee for the SBIC, or the SBIC Investment Committee, which is comprised of Peter Fidler, Mark Hauser, Glenn Pittson, andPeter Rothschild, (and, together with the Advisor Investment Committee, the Investment Committees), is responsible for approval of all of investments madeby SBIC I LP. Any investment decision on the part of SBIC I LP requires the unanimous approval of the SBIC Investment Committee. The process employed by the Investment Committees is intended to bring the diverse experience and perspectives of the committees’ members tothe investment process. The Investment Committees serve to provide investment consistency and adherence to our core investment philosophy and policies.The Investment Committees also determine appropriate investment sizing and implement ongoing monitoring requirements. 7 In certain instances, our board of directors may also determine that its approval is required prior to the making of an investment. In addition toreviewing investments, Investment Committees’ meetings serve as a forum to discuss credit views and outlooks. Potential transactions and deal flow arereviewed on a regular basis. Members of the investment team are encouraged to share information and views on credits with members of the InvestmentCommittees early in their analysis. We believe this process improves the quality of the analysis and assists the deal team members in working efficiently. Structure of Investments We anticipate that our loan portfolio will continue to contain investments of the following types with the following typical characteristics: First-Lien Senior Secured Loans. First-lien senior secured loans comprise, and will continue to comprise, a significant portion of our investmentportfolio. We obtain security interests in the assets of these portfolio companies as collateral in support of the repayment of these loans (in certain cases,subject to a payment waterfall). The collateral takes the form of first-priority liens on specified assets of the portfolio company borrower and, typically, first-priority pledges of the ownership interests in the borrower. Our first lien loans may provide for moderate loan amortization in the early years of the loan, withthe majority of the amortization deferred until loan maturity. Senior Secured Unitranche Loans. Unitranche loans are loans that combine both senior and subordinated debt into one loan under which theborrower pays a single blended interest rate that is intended to reflect the relative risk of the secured and unsecured components. We typically structure ourunitranche loans as senior secured loans. We obtain security interests in the assets of these portfolio companies as collateral in support of the repayment ofthese loans. This collateral takes, the form of first-priority liens on the assets of a portfolio company and, typically, first-priority pledges of the ownershipinterests in the company. We believe that unitranche lending represents a significant growth opportunity for us, offering the borrower the convenience ofdealing with one lender, which may result in a higher blended rate of interest to us than we might realize in a traditional multi-tranche structure. Unitrancheloans typically provide for moderate loan amortization in the initial years of the facility, with the majority of the amortization deferred until loan maturity.Unitranche loans generally allow the borrower to make a large lump sum payment of principal at the end of the loan term, and there is a risk of loss if theborrower is unable to pay the lump sum or refinance the amount owed at maturity. In many cases, we will be the sole lender, or we, together with our affiliates,will be the sole lender, of unitranche loans, which can afford us additional influence with a borrower in terms of monitoring and, if necessary, remediation inthe event of underperformance. Second-lien Senior Secured Loans. We obtain security interests in the assets of these portfolio companies as collateral in support of the repaymentof such loans. This collateral typically takes the form of second-priority liens on the assets of a portfolio company, and we may enter into an intercreditoragreement with the holders of the portfolio company’s first-lien senior secured debt. These loans typically provide for no contractual loan amortization in theinitial years of the facility, with all amortization deferred until loan maturity. Unsecured Subordinated (“Mezzanine”) Loans. We structure these investments as unsecured, subordinated loans that typically provide forrelatively high, fixed interest rates that provide us with significant current interest income. These loans typically will have interest-only payments (oftenrepresenting a combination of cash pay and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest) in the early years, with amortization of principal deferred to maturity.Mezzanine loans generally allow the borrower to make a large lump sum payment of principal at the end of the loan term, and there is a risk of loss if theborrower is unable to pay the lump sum or refinance the amount owed at maturity. Mezzanine investments are generally more volatile than secured loans andmay involve a greater risk of loss of principal. Mezzanine loans often include a PIK feature (meaning a feature allowing for the payment of interest in the formof additional principal amount of the loan instead of in cash), which effectively operates as negative amortization of loan principal, thereby increasing creditrisk exposure over the life of the loan. Warrants and Other Minority Equity Securities. In some cases, we will also acquire a minority equity interest in the portfolio company inconnection with making a loan, or receive nominally priced warrants or options to buy a minority equity interest in the portfolio company in connection witha loan. As a result, as a portfolio company appreciates in value, we may achieve additional investment return from this equity interest. We may structure suchwarrants to include provisions protecting our rights as a minority-interest holder, as well as a “put,” or right to sell such securities back to the issuer, upon theoccurrence of specified events. In many cases, we may also seek to obtain registration rights in connection with these equity interests, which may includedemand and “piggyback” registration rights. General Structuring Considerations. We tailor the terms of each investment to the facts and circumstances of the transaction and the prospectiveportfolio company, negotiating a structure that protects our rights and manages our risk while creating incentives for the portfolio company to achieve itsbusiness plan and improve its operating results. We seek to limit the downside potential of our investments by: •selecting investments that we believe have a very low probability of loss; •requiring a total return on our investments (including both interest and potential equity appreciation) that we believe will compensate usappropriately for credit risk; and •negotiating covenants in connection with our investments that afford our portfolio companies as much flexibility in managing their businessesas possible, consistent with the preservation of our capital. Such restrictions may include affirmative and negative covenants, default penalties,lien protection, change of control provisions and board rights, including either observation or rights to a seat on the board of directors undersome circumstances. 8 We expect to hold most of our investments to maturity or repayment, but we may sell some of our investments earlier if a liquidity event occurs, suchas a sale, recapitalization or worsening of the credit quality of the portfolio company. Investments We pursue an investment strategy focused primarily on investments in middle-market companies in the United States. We focus on investments inloans, in which OFS Advisor’s investment professionals have expertise, including investments in first-lien, unitranche, second-lien, and mezzanine loans and,to a lesser extent, on warrants and other minority equity securities. We seek to create a diverse portfolio by making investments in the securities of middle-market companies that we expect to range generally from $3.0 million to $25.0 million each, although we expect this investment size will varyproportionately with the size of our capital base. As of December 31, 2014, our investment portfolio consisted of outstanding loans to 61 portfolio companies, totaling approximately $301.3 millionin aggregate principal amount (including SBIC I LP’s $177.8 million in loans to 25 portfolio companies), of which 83% were senior secured loans and 17%were subordinated loans, as well as SBIC I LP’s approximately $18.0 million in equity investments, at fair value, At December 31, 2014, of the $18.0 millionequity investments held by SBIC I LP, $17.1 million was invested in 15 portfolio companies in which SBIC I LP also held debt investments and $0.9 millionwas invested in one portfolio company in which SBIC I LP solely held an equity investment. Our investment portfolio encompassed a broad range ofgeographical regions and industries. As of December 31, 2014, we had unfunded commitments of $7.8 million to six portfolio companies, all of which werecommitments of SBIC I LP. Set forth in the tables and charts below is selected information with respect to our portfolio as of December 31, 2014. The following table summarizes the composition of our investment portfolio.

Competition Our primary competitors in providing financing to middle-market companies include public and private funds, other business developmentcompanies, commercial and investment banks, commercial finance companies and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equityand hedge funds. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do.Some competitors may have access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances ordifferent risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish more relationships than us. Further, many of ourcompetitors are not subject to the regulatory restrictions that the 1940 Act imposes on us as a BDC, or to the distribution and other requirements we mustsatisfy to maintain our RIC status. We expect to continue to use the expertise of the investment professionals of OFS and its affiliates to which we have access, to assess investmentrisks and determine appropriate pricing for our investments in portfolio companies. In addition, we expect that the relationships of the senior members of OFSand its affiliates will enable us to learn about, and compete effectively for, financing opportunities with attractive middle-market companies in the industriesin which we seek to invest. For additional information concerning the competitive risks we face, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Businessand Structure—We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities, which could reduce returns and result in losses.”  11 Administration We do not have any direct employees, and our day-to-day investment operations are managed by OFS Advisor. We have a chief executive officer,chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, chief accounting officer, and corporate secretary and, to the extent necessary, our board of directors may electto appoint additional officers going forward. Our officers are employees of OFSC, an affiliate of OFS Advisor, and a portion of the compensation paid to ourofficers are paid by us pursuant to the Administration Agreement. All of our executive officers are also officers of OFS Advisor. See “—Management andOther Agreements.” Management And Other Agreements OFS Advisor is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act. OFS Advisor is a wholly owned subsidiary of OFSAM. Subject to theoverall supervision of our board of directors and in accordance with the 1940 Act, OFS Advisor manages our day-to-day operations and provides investmentadvisory services to us. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, OFS Advisor: •determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing suchchanges; •assists us in determining what securities we purchase, retain or sell; •identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments we make (including performing due diligence on our prospective portfoliocompanies); and •executes, closes, services and monitors the investments we make. Certain personnel of OFS conduct activities on our behalf directly through, and under the supervision of, OFS Advisor. OFS Advisor’s services underthe Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive to us. Pursuant to a Staffing Agreement between OFSC and OFS Advisor, OFSC has agreed to provideOFS Advisor with the resources to fulfill its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement. These resources include staffing by experiencedinvestment professionals and access to the senior investment personnel of OFSC, pursuant to which each member of the Advisor Investment Committee hascommitted to serve in such capacity (including Mr. Ressler, who is currently the Chairman of the Advisor Investment Committee). These personnel servicesare provided under the Staffing Agreement on a direct cost reimbursement basis to OFS Advisor. Investment Advisory Agreement Management and Incentive Fee Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement with OFS Advisor and subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors and in accordancewith the 1940 Act, OFS Advisor provides investment advisory services to us. For providing these services, OFS Advisor receives a fee from us, consisting oftwo components—a base management fee and an incentive fee. From the completion of our IPO through October 31, 2013, the base management fee wascalculated at an annual rate of 0.875% based on the average value of our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchasedwith borrowed amounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity), adjusted for stock issuances and stock purchases, at the end of the two mostrecently completed calendar quarters. Beginning on November 1, 2013 and through March 31, 2014, pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, thebase management fee was calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% based on the average value of our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents butincluding assets purchased with borrowed amounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity), adjusted for stock issuances and stock purchases,at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. We have elected to exclude from the base management fee calculation any base managementfee that would be owed in respect of the intangible asset and goodwill resulting from our acquisitions of the remaining ownership interests in SBIC I LP andSBIC I GP on December 4, 2013. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. Base management fees for any partial quarter are prorated based onthe number of days in the quarter. On May 5, 2014, we were notified by OFS Advisor that, effective as of April 1, 2014, it would reduce its base management fee by two-thirds for thebalance of the 2014 fiscal year. Specifically, OFS Advisor agreed to reduce its base management fee from 0.4375% per quarter to 0.145833% per quarter forthe second, third, and fourth quarters of 2014. Accordingly, the effective annual base management fee for the 2014 fiscal year will be equal to or less than50% of the 1.75% required by our Investment Advisory Agreement with OFS Advisor, or not greater than 0.875%. OFS Advisor informed us that thisreduction was made for the benefit of our shareholders to take into account unforeseen delays in completing the Tamarix Acquisitions. The base managementfee resumed to its 1.75% annual rate on January 1, 2015. On June 30, 2014, OFS Advisor deferred the receipt of the first quarter of 2014 base management fee in the amount of approximately $1.0 millionthat would otherwise have been due from us by June 30, 2014, until further determination by OFS Advisor. In addition, on June 30, 2014, OFS Advisordeferred the receipt of the second quarter of 2014 base management fee in the amount of $341 thousand, that would otherwise have been due from us bySeptember 30, 2014, until further determination by OFS Advisor. The Investment Advisor informed the Company that the deferral of the fee was made for thebenefit of the Company’s shareholders to take into account unforeseen delays in completing the Tamarix Acquisitions. On October 31, 2014, OFS Advisorinformed us that it would not further defer the receipt of the base management fee for the first and second quarter of 2014. In addition, OFS Advisor informedus that the base management fee and incentive fee with respect to the third quarter of 2014 would not be deferred. On November 7, 2014, we paid OFSAdvisor the outstanding base management fee and incentive fee for the first three quarters of 2014 in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.5 million. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the period from November 8, 2012 to December 31, 2012, we incurred base management feeexpenses of approximately $2.2 million, $2.4 million, and $286 thousand respectively. 12 The incentive fee has two parts. One part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for thequarter. “Pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such ascommitment, origination and sourcing, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies but excluding feesfor providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, anyexpenses payable under the Administration Agreement and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding theincentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, orOID, 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 gains, realized losses, unrealized capital appreciation or unrealized capitaldepreciation. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that we may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where we incur a loss. For example, if wereceive pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, we will pay the applicable incentive fee even ifwe have incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness andbefore taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed“hurdle rate” of 2.0% per quarter. If market interest rates rise, we may be able to invest our funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, whichwould increase our pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for OFS Advisor to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an incentive feebased on such net investment income. There is no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and, accordingly, there is no clawbackof amounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the quarterly hurdle rate, and there is no delay of payment if prior quarters are below thequarterly hurdle rate. Pre-incentive fee net investment income fees are prorated for any partial quarter based on the number of days in such quarter. We pay OFS Advisor an incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: •no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate; •100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, thatexceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% in any calendar quarter. We refer to this portion of our pre-incentive fee net investment income(which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5%) as the “catch-up” provision. The catch-up is meant to provide OFS Advisor with 20.0% ofthe pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.5% in anycalendar quarter; and •20.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter. The following is a graphical representation of the calculation of the income-related portion of the incentive fee: Quarterly Incentive Fee Based on Net Investment Income The second part of the incentive fee (the “Capital Gains Fee”) is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upontermination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date) and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (a) the sumof our cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and our aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (b) our cumulative aggregate realized capitalgains. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the Capital Gains Fee for such year is equal to 20.0% of such amount, less the aggregate amountof Capital Gains Fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no Capital Gains Fee for such year. The Company accrues the CapitalGains Fee if, on a cumulative basis, the sum of net realized capital gains and (losses) plus net unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) is positive. 13 The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of eachinvestment in our portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment. The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in ourportfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment. The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment inour portfolio as of the applicable Capital Gains Fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment as of the close of our IPO.Unrealized capital appreciation is accrued, but not paid until said appreciation is realized. We accrue the Capital Gains Fee if, on a cumulative basis, the sumof the net realized capital gains (and losses) plus net unrealized appreciation (and depreciation) is positive. The Capital Gains Fee for any partial year isprorated based on the number of days in such year. The Investment Advisor has elected to exclude from the Capital Gain Fee calculation any incentive fee that would be owed in respect of the realizedgain on step acquisition resulting from Tamarix Acquisitions. We incurred an incentive fee of approximately $1.3 million for the year ended December 31,2014. We did not incur any incentive fee expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 or for the period November 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Examples of Incentive Fee Calculation Example 1—Income Related Portion of Incentive Fee: Assumptions •Hurdle rate(1) = 2.0% •Management fee(2) = 0.44% •Other estimated expenses (legal, accounting, custodian, transfer agent, etc.)(3) = 0.20% (1)Represents a quarter of the 8.0% annualized hurdle rate. (2)Represents a quarter of the 1.75% annualized management fee, which became effective October 31, 2013. (3)Excludes estimated offering expenses. Alternative 1 Additional Assumptions •Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 1.25% •Pre-incentive fee net investment income (investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 0.61% Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate, therefore there is no incentive fee. Alternative 2 Additional Assumptions •Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 2.80% •Pre-incentive fee net investment income (investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 2.16% Pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds hurdle rate, therefore there is an incentive fee. Incentive Fee=100% × “Catch-Up” + the greater of 0% AND (20% × (pre-incentive fee net investment income – 2.5%)) =(100% ×(2.16%) – 2.0%)) + 0% =100% × 0.16% =0.16% 14 Alternative 3 Additional Assumptions •Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 3.50% •Pre-incentive fee net investment income (investment income – (management fee + other expenses)) = 2.86% Pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds hurdle rate, therefore there is an incentive fee. Incentive Fee=100% × “Catch-Up” + the greater of 0% AND (20% × (pre-incentive fee net investment income – 2.5%)) =(100% × (2.5% – 2.0%)) + (20% × (2.86% – 2.5%)) =0.5% + (20% × 0.36%) =0.5% + 0.07% =0.57% Example 2—Capital Gains Portion of Incentive Fee: Alternative 1 Assumptions •Year 1: $20 million investment made in Company A (“Investment A”), and $30 million investment made in Company B (“Investment B”) •Year 2: Investment A is sold for $50 million and fair market value (“FMV”) of Investment B determined to be $32 million •Year 3: FMV of Investment B determined to be $25 million •Year 4: Investment B sold for $31 million The capital gains portion of the incentive fee, if any, would be: •Year 1: None (no sales transactions) •Year 2: $6 million (20% multiplied by $30 million realized capital gains on sale of Investment A) •Year 3: None; $5 million (20% multiplied by $30 million cumulative realized capital gains less $5 million cumulative unrealized capitaldepreciation) less $6 million (Capital Gains Fee paid in Year 2) •Year 4: $200,000; $6.2 million (20% multiplied by $31 million cumulative realized capital gains) less $6 million (Capital Gains Fee paid inYear 2) Alternative 2 Assumptions •Year 1: $20 million investment made in Company A (“Investment A”), $30 million investment made in Company B (“Investment B”) and $25million investment made in Company C (“Investment C”) •Year 2: Investment A sold for $50 million, FMV of Investment B determined to be $25 million and FMV of Investment C determined to be $25million •Year 3: FMV of Investment B determined to be $27 million and Investment C sold for $30 million •Year 4: FMV of Investment B determined to be $35 million •Year 5: Investment B sold for $20 million 15 The capital gains portion of the incentive fee, if any, would be: •Year 1: None (no sales transactions) •Year 2: $5 million (20% multiplied by $30 million realized capital gains on Investment A less $5 million unrealized capital depreciation onInvestment B) •Year 3: $1.4 million; $6.4 million (20% multiplied by $32 million ($35 million cumulative realized capital gains on Investment A andInvestment C less $3 million cumulative unrealized capital depreciation on Investment B)) less $5 million (Capital Gains Fee paid in Year 2) •Year 4: $0.6 million; $7 million (20% multiplied by $35 million (cumulative realized capital gains on Investment A and Investment C)) less$6.4 million (cumulative Capital Gains Fee paid in all prior years) •Year 5: None; $5 million (20% multiplied by $25 million ($35 million cumulative realized capital gains on Investments A and C less $10million realized capital losses on Investment B)) less $7 million (cumulative Capital Gains Fee paid in all prior years)) Payment of Our Expenses Our primary operating expenses include interest expense due under the OFS Capital WM credit facility (“OFS Capital WM Credit Facility”) andSBA debentures, the payment of fees to OFS Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, management fees payable to the loan manager under theOFS Capital WM Credit Facility, professional fees, and our allocable portion of overhead expenses under the Administration Agreement and other operatingcosts described below. Additionally, we pay interest expense on any outstanding debt under any new credit facility or other debt instrument we may enterinto. We bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, whether incurred by us directly or on our behalf by a third party,including: •the cost of calculating our net asset value, including the cost of any third-party valuation services; •the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and other securities; •fees payable to third parties relating to making investments, including out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with performing due diligenceand reviews of prospective investments; •transfer agent and custodial fees; •out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts; •federal and state registration fees and any stock exchange listing fees; •U.S. federal, state and local taxes; •independent directors’ fees and expenses; •brokerage commissions; •fidelity bond, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and other insurance premiums; •direct costs, such as printing, mailing and long-distance telephone; •fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs; •costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and other applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws;and •other expenses incurred by either OFS Services or us in connection with administering our business, including payments under theAdministration Agreement that will be based upon our allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of our board of directors) ofoverhead. 16 Duration and Termination Unless terminated earlier as described below, the Investment Advisory Agreement will remain in effect from year to year if approved annually by ourboard of directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities, and, in either case, if also approved by amajority of our directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act. The Investment Advisory Agreement automatically terminates in theevent of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act, by OFS Advisor and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon not less than 60 days’written notice to the other. The holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities may also terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement withoutpenalty upon not less than 60 days’ written notice. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business and Structure—We are dependent upon theOFS senior professionals for our future success and upon their access to the investment professionals and partners of OFS and its affiliates.” Indemnification The Investment Advisory Agreement provides that OFS Advisor and its affiliates and its affiliates’ respective officers, directors, members, managers,shareholders and employees are entitled to indemnification from us from and against any claims or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees and otherexpenses reasonably incurred, arising out of or in connection with our business and operations or any action taken or omitted on our behalf pursuant toauthority granted by the Investment Advisory Agreement, except where attributable to willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performanceof such person’s duties, or reckless disregard of such person’s obligations and duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Board Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement Our board, including our independent directors, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 4, 2014. In reaching adecision to approve the investment advisory agreement, the board of directors reviewed a significant amount of information and considered, among otherthings: •the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services to be provided to us by OFS Advisors; •the fee structures of comparable externally managed business development companies that engage in similar investing activities; •our projected operating expenses and expense ratio compared to business development companies with similar investment objectives; •any existing and potential sources of indirect income to OFS Advisors from its relationship with us and the profitability of that relationship,including through the Investment Advisory Agreement; •information about the services to be performed and the personnel performing such services under the Investment Advisory Agreement; and •the organizational capability and financial condition of OFS Advisor and its affiliates. Based on the information reviewed and the discussion thereof, the board of directors, including a majority of the non-interested directors, concludedthat the investment advisory fee rates are reasonable in relation to the services to be provided and approved the Investment Advisory Agreement as being inthe best interests of our shareholders. Administration Agreement Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, OFS Services furnishes us with office facilities and equipment, necessary software licenses andsubscriptions and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, OFS Services performs, oroversees the performance of, our required administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintainand preparing reports to our shareholders and all other reports and materials required to be filed with the SEC or any other regulatory authority. In addition,OFS Services assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value, oversee the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing anddissemination of reports to our shareholders, and generally oversee the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professionalservices rendered to us by others. Under the Administration Agreement, OFS Services would provide managerial assistance on our behalf to certain portfoliocompanies that accept our offer to provide such assistance. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon our allocableportion (subject to the review and approval of our board of directors) of OFS Services’ overhead in performing its obligations under the AdministrationAgreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the cost of our officers, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief complianceofficer, chief accounting officer, and corporate secretary, and their respective staffs.

Under this agreement, OFS Services makes available toOFSC experienced investment professionals and access to the administrative resources of OFS Services. Regulation We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to transactions betweenBDCs and their affiliates (including any investment advisers or sub-advisers), principal underwriters and affiliates of those affiliates or underwriters andrequires that a majority of the directors be persons other than “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. In addition, the 1940 Act provides that we may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw our election as, a BDCunless approved by “a majority of our outstanding voting securities” as defined in the 1940 Act. A majority of the outstanding voting securities of acompany is defined under the 1940 Act as the lesser of: (a) 67% or more of such company’s voting securities present at a meeting if more than 50% of theoutstanding voting securities of such company are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of suchcompany. We do not anticipate any substantial change in the nature of our business. We are not generally able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. We may, however, issue and sell our commonstock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the then-current net asset value of our common stock if (1) our board ofdirectors determines that such sale is in our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders, and (2) our shareholders have approved our policy andpractice of making such sales within the preceding 12 months. In any such case, the price at which our securities are to be issued and sold may not be lessthan a price which, in the determination of our board of directors, closely approximates the market value of such securities. 18 As a BDC, we are required to meet a coverage ratio of the value of total assets to senior securities, which include all of our borrowings and anypreferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. We may also be prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in certaintransactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of our board of directors who are not interested persons and, in some cases, prior approval by theSEC. Previously, legislation was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives intended to revise certain regulations applicable to BDCs. Thelegislation provides for (i) increasing the amount of funds BDCs may borrow by reducing asset to debt limitations from 2:1 to 3:2, (ii) permitting BDCs to fileregistration statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that incorporate information from already-filed reports by reference, (iii) utilizingother streamlined registration processes afforded to operating companies, and (iv) allowing BDCs to own investment adviser subsidiaries. There are noassurances as to when the legislation will be enacted by Congress, if at all, or, if enacted, what final form the legislation would take. We may invest up to 100% of our assets in securities acquired directly from issuers in privately negotiated transactions. With respect to suchsecurities, we may, for the purpose of public resale, be deemed an “underwriter” as that term is defined in the Securities Act. Our intention is to not write (sell)or buy put or call options to manage risks associated with the publicly traded securities of our portfolio companies, except that we may enter into hedgingtransactions to manage the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. However, we may purchase or otherwise receive warrants to purchase the commonstock of our portfolio companies in connection with acquisition financing or other investments. Similarly, in connection with an acquisition, we may acquirerights to require the issuers of acquired securities or their affiliates to repurchase them under certain circumstances. We also do not intend to acquire securitiesissued by any investment company that exceed the limits imposed by the 1940 Act. Under these limits, except for registered money market funds, wegenerally cannot acquire more than 3% of the voting stock of any registered investment company, invest more than 5% of the value of our total assets in thesecurities of one investment company, or invest more than 10% of the value of our total assets in the securities of more than one investment company. Withregard to that portion of our portfolio invested in securities issued by investment companies, it should be noted that such investments might subject ourshareholders to additional expenses as they will be indirectly responsible for the costs and expenses of such companies. None of our investment policies arefundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. Qualifying Assets Under the 1940 Act, a BDC may not acquire any asset other than assets of the type listed in section 55(a) of the 1940 Act, which are referred to as“qualifying assets,” unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the company’s total assets. The principal categoriesof qualifying assets relevant to our business are the following: (a)Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering from the issuer of such securities, which issuer (subject to certain limitedexceptions) is an eligible portfolio company, or from any person who is, or has been during the preceding 13 months, an affiliated person of aneligible portfolio company, or from any other person, subject to such rules as may be prescribed by the SEC. An eligible portfolio company isdefined in the 1940 Act as any issuer that: •is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place of business in, the United States; •is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly-owned by the BDC) or a company that would bean investment company but for certain exclusions under the 1940 Act; and •satisfies either of the following: •does not have any class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or has any class of securities listed on a nationalsecurities exchange subject to a $250 million market capitalization maximum; or •is controlled by a BDC or a group of companies including a BDC, the BDC actually exercises a controlling influence over themanagement or policies of the eligible portfolio company, and, as a result, the BDC has an affiliated person who is a director ofthe eligible portfolio company. (b)Securities of any eligible portfolio company which we control. (c)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 intransactions incident to such a private transaction, if the issuer is in bankruptcy and subject to reorganization or if the issuer, immediately priorto the purchase of its securities, was unable to meet its obligations as they came due without material assistance other than conventional lendingor financing arrangements. (d)Securities of an eligible portfolio company purchased from any person in a private transaction if there is no ready market for such securities andwe already own 60% of the outstanding equity of the eligible portfolio company. (e)Securities received in exchange for or distributed on or with respect to securities described above, or pursuant to the exercise of warrants or rightsrelating to such securities. (f)Cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities that mature in one year or less from the date of investment. 19 Control, as defined by the 1940 Act, is presumed to exist where a BDC beneficially owns more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of theportfolio company. The regulations defining qualifying assets may change over time. We may adjust our investment focus as needed to comply with and/or takeadvantage of any regulatory, legislative, administrative or judicial actions in this area. Managerial Assistance to Portfolio Companies A BDC must have been organized and have its principal place of business in the United States and must be operated for the purpose of makinginvestments in the types of securities described in (a), (b) or (c) above. However, in order to count portfolio securities as qualifying assets for the purpose ofthe 70% test, the BDC must either control the issuer of the securities or must offer to make available to the issuer of the securities (other than small andsolvent companies described above) significant managerial assistance. Where the BDC purchases such securities in conjunction with one or more otherpersons acting together, the BDC will satisfy this test if one of the other persons in the group makes available such managerial assistance, although this maynot be the sole method by which the BDC satisfies the requirement to make available managerial assistance. Making available managerial assistance means,among other things, any arrangement whereby the BDC, through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted, does so provide,significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company. Temporary Investments Pending investment in other types of qualifying assets, as described above, our investments may consist of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. governmentsecurities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less from the date of investment, which we refer to,collectively, as temporary investments, so that 70% of our assets are qualifying assets or temporary investments. Typically, we invest in highly ratedcommercial paper, U.S. Government agency notes, U.S. Treasury bills or in repurchase agreements relating to such securities that are fully collateralized bycash 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 specifiedsecurity 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 anamount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate. Consequently, repurchase agreements are functionally similar to loans. There is no percentage restriction onthe proportion of our assets that may be invested in such repurchase agreements. However, the 1940 Act and certain diversification tests in order to qualify asa RIC for federal income tax purposes typically require us to limit the amount we invest with any one counterparty. Accordingly, we do not intend to enterinto repurchase agreements with a single counterparty in excess of this limit. OFS Advisor monitors the creditworthiness of the counterparties with which weenter into repurchase agreement transactions. Warrants and Options Under the 1940 Act, a BDC is subject to restrictions on the amount of warrants, options, restricted stock or rights to purchase shares of capital stockthat it may have outstanding at any time. Under the 1940 Act, we may generally only offer warrants provided that (i) the warrants expire by their terms withinten years, (ii) the exercise or conversion price is not less than the current market value at the date of issuance, (iii) our shareholders authorize the proposal toissue such warrants, and our board of directors approves such issuance on the basis that the issuance is in the best interests of OFS Capital and its shareholdersand (iv) if the warrants are accompanied by other securities, the warrants are not separately transferable unless no class of such warrants and the securitiesaccompanying them has been publicly distributed. The 1940 Act also provides that the amount of our voting securities that would result from the exercise ofall outstanding warrants, as well as options and rights, at the time of issuance may not exceed 25% of our outstanding voting securities. In particular, theamount of capital stock that would result from the conversion or exercise of all outstanding warrants, options or rights to purchase capital stock cannotexceed 25% of the BDC’s total outstanding shares of capital stock. Senior Securities We are permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of stock senior to our common stock if our assetcoverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least equal to 200% immediately after each such issuance. In addition, while any senior securities remainoutstanding, we must make provisions to prohibit any distribution to our shareholders or the repurchase of such securities or shares unless we meet theapplicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the distribution or repurchase. We may also borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of our total assets fortemporary or emergency purposes without regard to asset coverage. For a discussion of the risks associated with leverage, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—RisksRelated to our Business and Structure—Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to and the way in which we raise additional capital.As a BDC, we will need to raise additional capital, which will expose us to risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage.” 20 Codes of Ethics We and OFS Advisor have each adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act that establishes procedures for personalinvestments and restricts certain personal securities transactions. Personnel subject to each code may invest in securities for their personal investmentaccounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by us, so long as such investments are made in accordance with the code’s requirements. Ourcode of ethics is available, free of charge, on our website at www.ofscapital.com. You may also read and copy the code of ethics at the SEC’s Public ReferenceRoom in Washington, D.C. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (800) SEC-0330. In addition,the code of ethics is attached as an exhibit to pre-effective amendment no. 3 to the registration statement on Form N-2 filed on March 17, 2011 and isavailable on the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. You may also obtain copies of the code of ethics, after paying a duplicatingfee, by electronic request at the following e-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov, or by writing the SEC’s Public Reference Section, 100 F Street, N.E.,Washington, D.C. 20549. Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures We have delegated our proxy voting responsibility to OFS Advisor. The proxy voting policies and procedures of OFS Advisor are set out below. Theguidelines are reviewed periodically by OFS Advisor and our directors who are not “interested persons,” and, accordingly, are subject to change. For purposesof these proxy voting policies and procedures described below, “we,” “our” and “us” refer to OFS Advisor. Introduction As an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, we have a fiduciary duty to act solely in the best interests of our clients. As part of thisduty, we recognize that we must vote client securities in a timely manner free of conflicts of interest and in the best interests of our clients. These policies and procedures for voting proxies for our investment advisory clients are intended to comply with Section 206 of, and Rule 206(4)-6under, the Advisers Act. Proxy Policies We vote proxies relating to our portfolio securities in what we perceive to be the best interest of our clients. We review on a case-by-case basis eachproposal submitted to a shareholder vote to determine its effect on the portfolio securities held by our clients. In most cases we will vote in favor of proposalsthat we believe are likely to increase the economic value of the underlying portfolio securities held by our clients. Although we will generally vote againstproposals that may have a negative effect on our clients’ portfolio securities, we may vote for such a proposal if there exist compelling long-term reasons todo so. Our proxy voting decisions are made by those senior officers who are responsible for monitoring each of our clients’ investments. To ensure that ourvote is not the product of a conflict of interest, we require that (1) anyone involved in the decision-making process disclose to our chief compliance officerany potential conflict that he or she is aware of and any contact that he or she has had with any interested party regarding a proxy vote; and (2) employeesinvolved in the decision-making process or vote administration are prohibited from revealing how we intend to vote on a proposal in order to reduce anyattempted influence from interested parties. Where conflicts of interest may be present, we will disclose such conflicts to our client, including with respect toOFS Capital, those directors who are not interested persons and we may request guidance from such persons on how to vote such proxies for their account. Proxy Voting Records You may obtain information about how we voted proxies for OFS Capital, free of charge, by making a written request for proxy voting informationto: OFS Capital Corporation, 10 S. Wacker Drive, Suite 2500, Chicago, Illinois 60606, Attention: Investor Relations, or by calling OFS Capital Corporationat (847) 734-2060. The SEC also maintains a website at http://www.sec.gov that contains such information. Privacy Principles We are committed to maintaining the privacy of our shareholders and to safeguarding their nonpublic personal information. The followinginformation is provided to help you understand what personal information we collect, how we protect that information and why, in certain cases, we mayshare information with select other parties. Generally, we do not receive any nonpublic personal information relating to our shareholders, although certain nonpublic personal information ofour shareholders may become available to us. We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our shareholders or former shareholders toanyone, except as permitted by law or as is necessary in order to service shareholder accounts (for example, to a transfer agent or third-party administrator). We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about our shareholders to employees of OFS Advisor and its affiliates with a legitimatebusiness need for the information. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect the nonpublic personal information of ourshareholders. 21 Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the NASDAQ Global Select Market Corporate Governance Regulations The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) imposes a wide variety of regulatory requirements on publicly-held companies andtheir insiders. Many of these requirements affect us. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has required us to review our policies and procedures to determine whether wecomply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. We will continue to monitor our compliance with all future regulationsthat are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance therewith. In addition, The NASDAQ Global Select Market has adopted various corporate governance requirements as part of its listing standards. We believewe are in compliance with such corporate governance listing standards. We will continue to monitor our compliance with all future listing standards and willtake actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance therewith. Small Business Investment Company Regulations As noted above, on December 4, 2013, we acquired the remaining general and limited partnership interests in SBIC I LP, making it a wholly-ownedsubsidiary. SBIC I LP is an SBIC and must maintain compliance with SBA regulations. SBICs are designed to stimulate the flow of private equity capital to eligible small businesses. Under SBA regulations, SBICs may make loans toeligible small businesses and invest in the equity securities of small businesses. The SBIC license allows SBIC I LP to receive SBA-guaranteed debenturefunding, subject to the issuance of a leverage commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. SBA-guaranteed debentures are non-recourse, interestonly debentures with interest payable semi-annually and have a ten year maturity. The principal amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures is not required to bepaid prior to maturity but may be prepaid without penalty twice each year on certain dates. The interest rate of SBA-guaranteed debentures is fixed at the timeof issuance at a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with 10-year maturities. SBA regulations currently limit the amount that an SBIC may borrow to up to a maximum of $150 million when it has at least $75 million inregulatory capital, receives a leverage commitment from the SBA and has been through an examination by the SBA subsequent to licensing. For two or moreSBICs under common control, the maximum amount of outstanding SBA-provided leverage cannot exceed $225 million. A proposed bill would increase thetotal SBIC leverage capacity for affiliated SBIC funds from $225 million to $350 million. However, the ultimate form and likely outcome of such legislationor any similar legislation cannot be predicted. The investments of an SBIC are limited to loans to and equity securities of eligible small businesses. Under present SBA regulations, eligible smallbusinesses generally include businesses that (together with their affiliates) have a tangible net worth not exceeding $19.5 million and have average annualnet 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 twomost recent fiscal years. In addition, an SBIC must devote 25% of its investment activity to “smaller concerns,” as defined by the SBA. A smaller concerngenerally includes businesses that have a tangible net worth not exceeding $6 million and have average annual net income after U.S. federal income taxesnot exceeding $2 million (average net income to be computed without benefit of any net carryover loss) for the two most recent fiscal years. The SBA prohibits an SBIC from providing funds to small businesses for certain purposes, such as relending, real estate or investing in companiesoutside of the United States, and providing funds to businesses engaged in a few prohibited industries and to certain “passive” (i.e., non-operating)companies. In addition, without prior SBA approval, an SBIC may not invest an amount equal to more than approximately 30% of the SBIC’s regulatorycapital in any one company and its affiliates. The SBA requires that SBICs invest idle funds in accordance with SBA regulations. SBA regulations also include restrictions on a “change ofcontrol” or other transfers of limited partnership interests in an SBIC. In addition, SBIC I LP may also be limited in its ability to make distributions to us if itdoes not have sufficient accumulated net profit, in accordance with SBA regulations. SBIC I LP is subject to regulation and oversight by the SBA, including requirements with respect to maintaining certain minimum financial ratiosand other covenants. Receipt of the SBIC license and an SBA leverage commitment does not assure that SBIC I LP will receive SBA guaranteed debenturefunding, and such funding is dependent upon SBIC I LP’s continuing to be in compliance with SBA regulations and policies. The SBA, as a creditor, will have a superior claim to the SBIC I LP’s assets over our shareholders in the event that SBIC I LP is liquidated or the SBAexercises its remedies under the SBA debentures issued by SBIC I LP in the event of a default. Exemptive Relief On November 26, 2013, we received an exemptive order which allows us to exclude SBA guaranteed indebtedness from the definition of seniorsecurities in our statutory 200% asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act, allowing for greater capital deployment. 22 Other We are subject to periodic examination by the SEC for compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and the 1940Act. We are required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect us against larceny and embezzlement.Furthermore, as a BDC, we are prohibited from protecting any director or officer against any liability to OFS Capital or our shareholders arising from willfulmisfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office. We and OFS Advisor each have adopted and implemented written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violation of relevantfederal securities laws, will review these policies and procedures annually for their adequacy and the effectiveness of their implementation, and havedesignated a chief compliance officer to be responsible for administering the policies and procedures. We may be prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of ourboard of directors who are not interested persons and, in some cases, prior approval by the SEC. The SEC has interpreted the BDC prohibition on transactionswith affiliates to prohibit all “joint transactions” between entities that share a common investment adviser. In connection with our election to be regulated asa BDC, we will not be permitted to co-invest with other funds managed by OFSAM or one of its affiliates in certain types of negotiated investmenttransactions unless we receive exemptive relief from the SEC permitting us to do so. Moreover, we may be limited in our ability to make follow-oninvestments or liquidate our existing equity investments in such companies. Although we may apply to the SEC for exemptive relief to permit such co-investment and liquidity transactions, subject to certain conditions, we cannot be certain that our application for such relief would be granted or whatconditions would be placed on such relief. The staff of the SEC has granted no-action relief permitting purchases of a single class of privately placed securities provided that the advisernegotiates no term other than price and certain other conditions are met. As a result, we only expect to co-invest on a concurrent basis with other fundsadvised by OFS Advisor when each of us will own the same securities of the issuer and when no term is negotiated other than price. Any such investmentwould be made, subject to compliance with existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and OFS Advisor’s allocation policy. If opportunities arisethat would otherwise be appropriate for us and for another fund advised by OFS Advisor to invest in different securities of the same issuer, OFS Advisor willneed to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. The decision by OFS Advisor to allocate an opportunity to another entity could cause us toforego an investment opportunity that we otherwise would have made. Moreover, except in certain circumstances, we will be unable to invest in any issuer inwhich another fund advised by OFS Advisor has previously invested. Our internet address is www.ofscapital.com. We make available free of charge on our website our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports onForm 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statement and amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file suchmaterial with, or furnish it to, the SEC. Material U.S.. Federal income tax considerations Election to be Taxed as a RIC We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. As a RIC, we generally do not have to pay corporate-level federal incometaxes on any income that we distribute to our shareholders from our tax earnings and profits. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must, among otherthings, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements, as described below. In addition, in order to maintain RIC tax treatment, we mustdistribute to our shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income,” which is generally our net ordinary incomeplus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses (the “Annual Distribution Requirement”). Taxation as a RIC If we: •maintain our qualification as a RIC; and •satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement; then we will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of our income we distribute (or are deemed to distribute) to shareholders. We will besubject to U.S. federal income tax at the regular corporate rates on any income or capital gain not distributed (or deemed distributed) to our shareholders. We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless we distribute in a timely manner an amount atleast equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our net ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term)for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year (or, if we have a taxable year that ends on November 30 or December 31 and so elect, for ourtaxable year) and (3) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which we paid no federal income tax, or the Excise TaxAvoidance Requirement. We may choose to retain a portion of our ordinary income and/or capital gain net income in any year and pay the 4% U.S. federalexcise tax on the retained amounts. 23 In order to maintain our qualification as a RIC for federal income tax purposes, we must, among other things: •continue to qualify as a BDC under the 1940 Act at all times during each taxable year; •derive in each taxable year at least 90% of our gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to loans of stock andsecurities, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities, or foreign currencies and other income (including but not limited to gainsfrom options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to our business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies, and netincome derived from interests in “qualified publicly traded partnerships,” as such term is defined in the Code, or the 90% Income Test; and •diversify our holdings so that at the end of each quarter of the taxable year: •at least 50% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs, and othersecurities, with such other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of our assets and10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and •no more than 25% of the value of our assets is invested in the securities, other than U.S. government securities or securities of other RICs,of one issuer, of two or more issuers that we control (as determined under applicable tax rules) and that are engaged in the same, similaror related trades or businesses or of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships (the “Diversification Tests”). We may invest in partnerships, including qualified publicly traded partnerships, which may result in our being subject to state, local or foreignincome, franchise or withholding liabilities. For federal income tax purposes, we may be required to recognize taxable income in circumstances in which we do not receive a correspondingpayment in cash. For example, if we hold debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having OID, we must include in income each year aportion of the OID that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by us in the same taxable year.We may also have to include in income other amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as deferred loan origination fees that are paid afterorigination of the loan or are paid in non-cash compensation such as warrants or stock. We anticipate that a portion of our income may constitute OID or other income required to be included in taxable income prior to receipt of cash.Because any OID or other amounts accrued will be included in our investment company taxable income for the year of the accrual, we may be required tomake a distribution to our shareholders in order to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement, even though we will not have received any correspondingcash amount. As a result, we may have difficulty meeting the annual distribution requirement necessary to obtain and maintain RIC tax treatment under theCode. We may have to sell some of our investments at times and/or at prices we would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital orforgo new investment opportunities for this purpose. If we are not able to obtain cash from other sources, we may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thusbecome subject to corporate-level income tax. We are authorized to borrow funds and to sell assets in order to satisfy distribution requirements. However, under the 1940 Act, we are not permittedto make distributions to our shareholders while our debt obligations and other senior securities are outstanding unless certain “asset coverage” tests are met.See “Regulation—Senior Securities.” Moreover, our ability to dispose of assets to meet our distribution requirements may be limited by (1) the illiquidnature of our portfolio and/or (2) other requirements relating to our status as a RIC, including the Diversification Tests. If we dispose of assets in order to meetthe Annual Distribution Requirement or the Excise Tax Avoidance Requirement, we may make such dispositions at times that, from an investmentstandpoint, are not advantageous. Certain of our investment practices may be subject to special and complex federal income tax provisions that may, among other things, (1) treatdividends that would otherwise qualify for the dividends received deduction or constitute qualified dividend income as ineligible for such treatment, (2)disallow, suspend or otherwise limit the allowance of certain losses or deductions, (3) convert lower-taxed long-term capital gain into higher-taxed short-termcapital gain or ordinary income, (4) convert an ordinary loss or a deduction into a capital loss (the deductibility of which is more limited), (5) cause us torecognize income or gain without receipt of a corresponding distribution of cash, (6) adversely affect the time as to when a purchase or sale of stock orsecurities is deemed to occur, (7) adversely alter the characterization of certain complex financial transactions and (8) produce income that will not bequalifying income for purposes of the 90% Income Test. We will monitor our transactions and may make certain tax elections to mitigate the potentialadverse effect of these provisions, but there can be no assurance that any adverse effects of these provisions will be mitigated. If we purchase shares in a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”), we may be subject to federal income tax on its allocable share of aportion of any “excess distribution” received on, or any gain from the disposition of, such shares even if our allocable share of such income is distributed as ataxable dividend to its shareholders. Additional charges in the nature of interest generally will be imposed on us in respect of deferred taxes arising from anysuch excess distribution or gain. If we invest in a PFIC and elect to treat the PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” under the Code (a “QEF”), in lieu of theforegoing requirements, we will be required to include in income each year our proportionate share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of the QEF,even if such income is not distributed by the QEF. Alternatively, we may be able to elect to mark-to-market at the end of each taxable year our shares in aPFIC; in this case, we will recognize as ordinary income our allocable share of any increase in the value of such shares, and as ordinary loss our allocableshare of any decrease in such value to the extent that any such decrease does not exceed prior increases included in its income. Under either election, we maybe required to recognize in a year income in excess of distributions from PFICs and proceeds from dispositions of PFIC stock during that year, and suchincome will nevertheless be subject to the Annual Distribution Requirement and will be taken into account for purposes of the 4% excise tax. 24 Some of the income and fees that we may recognize will not satisfy the 90% Income Test. In order to ensure that such income and fees do notdisqualify us as a RIC for a failure to satisfy the 90% Income Test, we may be required to recognize such income and fees directly or indirectly through one ormore entities treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such corporations will be required to pay U.S. corporate income tax on theirearnings, which ultimately will reduce our return on such income and fees. Failure to Qualify as a RIC If we are unable to maintain our qualification for treatment as a RIC, we would be subject to tax on all of our taxable income at regular corporaterates, regardless of whether we make any distributions to our shareholders. Distributions would not be required, and any distributions would be taxable to ourshareholders as ordinary dividend income that would be eligible for the current 20% maximum rate to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings andprofits (subject to limitations under the Code). 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 theshareholder’s tax basis (reducing that basis accordingly), and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. To qualify again to be taxed as aRIC in a subsequent year, we would be required to distribute to our shareholders our earnings and profits attributable to non-RIC years. In addition, if wefailed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, then we would be required to elect to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gain (theexcess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if we had been liquidated) or, alternatively, be subjectto taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a period of ten years, in order to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year. Item 1A.Risk Factors RISK FACTORS Investing in our common stock involves a number of significant risks. In addition to the other information contained in this annual report onForm 10-K, you should consider carefully the following information before making an investment in our common stock. The risks set out below are not theonly risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or not presently deemed material by us might also impair our operations andperformance. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Insuch case, our net asset value and the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Risks Related to Our Business and Structure Prior to November 7, 2012, we had not operated as a BDC or qualified to be treated as a RIC, and none of OFS Advisor or its affiliates had ever manageda BDC or a RIC, and we may not be able to operate our business successfully or generate sufficient revenue to make or sustain distributions to ourshareholders. Prior to November 7, 2012, we had not operated as a BDC or qualified to be treated as a RIC, and none of OFS Advisor or its affiliates has evermanaged a BDC. As a result of our limited experience as a BDC, we are subject to the business risks and uncertainties associated with new entities of thesetypes, including the risk that we will not achieve our investment objective, or that we will not qualify or maintain our qualification to be treated as a RIC, andthat the value of your investment could decline substantially. The 1940 Act and the Code impose numerous constraints on the operations of business development companies and RICs. Business developmentcompanies are required, for example, to invest at least 70% of their total assets primarily in securities of U.S. private or thinly traded public companies, cash,cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt instruments that mature in one year or less from the date of investment. Furthermore,any failure to comply with the requirements imposed on business development companies by the 1940 Act could cause the SEC to bring an enforcementaction against us and/or expose us to claims of private litigants. In addition, upon approval of a majority of our shareholders, we may elect to withdraw ourstatus 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 thesubstantially greater regulation under the 1940 Act as a closed-end investment company. Compliance with such regulations would significantly decrease ouroperating flexibility, and could significantly increase our costs of doing business. Moreover, qualification for treatment as a RIC requires satisfaction ofsource-of-income, asset diversification and distribution requirements. None of us, OFS Advisor or any of our or their respective affiliates has any experienceoperating under these constraints, which may hinder our ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and to achieve our investmentobjective. 25 We are dependent upon the OFS senior professionals for our future success and upon their access to the investment professionals and partners of OFS andits affiliates. We do not have any internal management capacity or employees. We will depend on the diligence, skill and network of business contacts of the OFSsenior professionals to achieve our investment objective. Our future success will depend, to a significant extent, on the continued service and coordination ofthe OFS senior management team, particularly Bilal Rashid, Senior Managing Director and President of OFSC, Jeffrey Cerny, Senior Managing Director andTreasurer of OFSC and Mark Hauser, Senior Managing Director of OFSC. Each of these individuals is an employee at will of OFSC and, with the exception ofMr. Hauser, is not subject to an employment contract. In addition, we rely on the services of Richard Ressler, Chairman of the executive committee ofOFSAM and Chairman of the Advisor Investment Committee pursuant to a consulting agreement with Orchard Capital Corporation. The departure ofMr. Ressler or any of the senior managers of OFSC, or of a significant number of its other investment professionals, could have a material adverse effect onour ability to achieve our investment objective. We expect that OFS Advisor will evaluate, negotiate, structure, close and monitor our investments in accordance with the terms of the InvestmentAdvisory Agreement. We can offer no assurance, however, that OFS senior professionals will continue to provide investment advice to us. If these individualsdo not maintain their existing relationships with OFS and its affiliates and do not develop new relationships with other sources of investment opportunities,we may not be able to grow our investment portfolio or achieve our investment objective. In addition, individuals with whom the OFS senior professionalshave relationships are not obligated to provide us with investment opportunities. Therefore, we can offer no assurance that such relationships will generateinvestment opportunities for us. OFS Advisor is a subsidiary of OFSAM that has no employees and depends upon access to the investment professionals and other resources of OFSand its affiliates to fulfill its obligations to us under the Investment Advisory Agreement. OFS Advisor also depends upon OFS to obtain access to deal flowgenerated by the professionals of OFS and its affiliates. Under a Staffing Agreement between OFSC, a subsidiary of OFSAM that employs OFS’s personnel,and OFS Advisor, OFSC has agreed to provide OFS Advisor with the resources necessary to fulfill these obligations. The Staffing Agreement provides thatOFSC will make available to OFS Advisor experienced investment professionals and access to the senior investment personnel of OFSC for purposes ofevaluating, negotiating, structuring, closing and monitoring our investments. We are not a party to this Staffing Agreement and cannot assure shareholdersthat OFSC will fulfill its obligations under the agreement. If OFSC fails to perform, we cannot assure shareholders that OFS Advisor will enforce the StaffingAgreement or that such agreement will not be terminated by either party or that we will continue to have access to the investment professionals of OFSC andits affiliates or their information and deal flow. The investment committees that oversee our investment activities are provided by OFS Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, as wellas by SBIC I GP. The Advisor Investment Committee consists of Richard Ressler (Chairman), Jeffrey Cerny, Peter Fidler, Mark Hauser, Bilal Rashid, and PeterRothschild. The SBIC Investment Committee consists of Mark Hauser, Glenn Pittson, Peter Rothschild, and Peter Fidler. The loss of any member of theInvestment Committees or of other OFS senior professionals could limit our ability to achieve our investment objective and operate as we anticipate. Thiscould have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation. Our business model depends to a significant extent upon strong referral relationships with financial institutions, sponsors and investment professionals.Any inability of OFS Advisor to maintain or develop these relationships, or the failure of these relationships to generate investment opportunities, couldadversely affect our business. We depend upon OFS Advisor to maintain OFS’s relationships with financial institutions, sponsors and investment professionals, and we willcontinue to rely to a significant extent upon these relationships to provide us with potential investment opportunities. If OFS Advisor fails to maintain suchrelationships, or to develop new relationships with other sources of investment opportunities, we will not be able to grow our investment portfolio. Inaddition, individuals with whom the principals of OFS Advisor have relationships are not obligated to provide us with investment opportunities, and,therefore, we can offer no assurance that these relationships will generate investment opportunities for us in the future. A substantial portion of our senior secured loan portfolio was purchased by OFS Capital WM, our wholly-owned subsidiary, using borrowed funds and isserviced by an unaffiliated loan manager. OFS Capital WM finances its loan portfolio using funds borrowed under the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility. While investors in OFS Capital benefitfrom the loan assets sold to OFS Capital WM by virtue of our ownership of 100% of the equity interests in OFS Capital WM, they are also exposed to therisks associated with those assets. For example, the lender has a first lien on the loan assets sold to OFS Capital WM and will have a superior claim to ourclaim as an equity holder in any liquidation of OFS Capital WM. In addition, the lender has a first lien on our equity interests in OFS Capital WM and willhave a superior claim to a claim by our investors on those equity interests in any liquidation of OFS Capital. Additionally, OFS Capital WM is serviced by anaffiliate of Madison Capital Funding, LLC, or Madison Capital, (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Investments), as loan manager,pursuant to the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility documentation, which prescribes the order in which payments are to be applied and contains othercontractual restrictions. Accordingly, our success depends, to a certain degree, on the administration of OFS Capital WM’s portfolio by an unaffiliated loanmanager. If the loan manager is unable to generate sufficient returns to permit payments to us under the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility documentation ordefaults in its obligation thereunder, we could be materially and adversely affected. 26 As a result of the amendments to OFS Capital WM Credit Facility in 2012 (“WM 2012 Credit Facility Amendments”), we have substantialadditional input into certain key management decisions with respect to OFS Capital WM’s portfolio companies, including decisions with respect toamendments to or modifications of the investments in these entities, or noticing or waiving of defaults or accelerating portfolio loans. While the loanmanager for OFS Capital WM is not required to follow our recommendations, if we make a recommendation with which the loan manager disagrees, the loanmanager must at our direction commence a process to sell the applicable investment, subject to our right to control the negotiations for such sale and tosuspend any such sales process. Our financial condition and results of operation will depend on our ability to manage our business effectively. Our ability to achieve our investment objective and grow will depend on our ability to manage our business. This will depend, in turn, on the abilityof the Investment Committees to identify, invest in and monitor companies that meet our investment criteria. The achievement of our investment objectiveson a cost-effective basis will depend upon the execution by the Investment Committees to execute our investment process, their ability to provide competent,attentive and efficient services to us and, to a lesser extent, our access to financing on acceptable terms. OFS Advisor will have substantial responsibilitiesunder the Investment Advisory Agreement. The OFS senior professionals and other personnel of OFS Advisor’s affiliates, including OFSC, may be calledupon to provide managerial assistance to our portfolio companies. These activities may distract them or slow our rate of investment. Any failure to manageour business and our future growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have potential conflicts of interest related to obligations that OFS Advisor or its affiliates may have to other clients. OFS Advisor and its affiliates manage other assets and CLO funds and may manage other entities in the future, and these other funds and entitiesmay have similar or overlapping investment strategies. The members of the Investment Committees serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals ofentities that operate in the same or a related line of business as we do, or of investment funds or other investment vehicles managed by OFS Advisor or itsaffiliates. Similarly, OFS Advisor and/or its affiliates may have other clients with, similar, different or competing investment objectives. In serving in thesemultiple capacities, they may have obligations to other clients or investors in those entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in the best interests of us orour shareholders. OFS Advisor will seek to allocate investment opportunities among eligible accounts in a manner that is fair and equitable over time andconsistent with its allocation policy. Under this allocation policy, if two or more investment vehicles with similar or overlapping investment strategies are intheir investment periods, an available opportunity will be allocated based on the provisions governing allocations of such investment opportunities in therelevant organizational, offering or similar documents, if any, for such investment vehicles. In the absence of any such provisions, OFS Advisor will considerthe following factors and the weight that should be given with respect to each of these factors: •investment guidelines and/or restrictions, if any, set forth in the applicable organizational, offering or similar documents for the investmentvehicles; •risk and return profile of the investment vehicles; •suitability/priority of a particular investment for the investment vehicles; •if applicable, the targeted position size of the investment for the investment vehicles; •level of available cash for investment with respect to the investment vehicles; •total amount of funds committed to the investment vehicles; and •the age of the investment vehicles and the remaining term of their respective investment periods, if any. There can be no assurance that we will be able to participate in all investment opportunities that are suitable to us. Members of the Investment Committees, OFS Advisor or its affiliates may, from time to time, possess material non-public information, limiting ourinvestment discretion. OFS senior professionals and members of the Investment Committees may serve as directors of, or in a similar capacity with, companies in which weinvest, the securities of which are purchased or sold on our behalf. In the event that material nonpublic information is obtained with respect to suchcompanies, 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 onus. 27 Our incentive fee structure may create incentives for OFS Advisor that are not fully aligned with the interests of our shareholders. In the course of our investing activities, we will pay management and incentive fees to OFS Advisor. The base management fee is based on our totalassets (other than cash and cash equivalents and the intangible asset and goodwill resulting from the SBIC Acquisitions but including assets purchased withborrowed amounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity). As a result, investors in our common stock will invest on a “gross” basis andreceive distributions on a “net” basis after expenses, resulting in a lower rate of return than one might achieve through direct investments. Because these feesare based on our total assets, other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts and including any assets owned byany consolidated entity, OFS Advisor will benefit when we incur debt or use leverage. Our board of directors is charged with protecting our interests bymonitoring how OFS Advisor addresses these and other conflicts of interests associated with its management services and compensation. While our board ofdirectors is not expected to review or approve each borrowing or incurrence of leverage, our independent directors will periodically review OFS Advisor’sservices and fees as well as its portfolio management decisions and portfolio performance. In connection with these reviews, our independent directors willconsider whether our fees and expenses (including those related to leverage) remain appropriate. As a result of this arrangement, OFS Advisor or its affiliatesmay from time to time have interests that differ from those of our shareholders, giving rise to a conflict. We may pay an incentive fee on income we do not receive in cash. The part of the incentive fee payable to OFS Advisor that relates to our pre-incentive fee net investment income is computed and paid on incomethat may include interest income that has been accrued but not yet received in cash. This fee structure may be considered to involve a conflict of interest forOFS Advisor to the extent that it may encourage OFS Advisor to favor debt financings that provide for deferred interest, rather than current cash payments ofinterest. OFS Advisor may have an incentive to invest in deferred interest securities in circumstances where it would not have done so but for the opportunityto continue to earn the incentive fee even when the issuers of the deferred interest securities would not be able to make actual cash payments to us on suchsecurities. This risk could be increased because OFS Advisor is not obligated to reimburse us for any incentive fees received even if we subsequently incurlosses or never receive in cash the deferred income that was previously accrued. To the extent PIK interest and PIK dividends constitute a portion of our income, we will be exposed to typical risks associated with such income beingrequired to be included in taxable and accounting income prior to receipt of cash representing such income. Our investments may include contractual PIK interest or PIK dividends, which represents contractual interest or dividends added to a loan balance orequity security and due at the end of such loan’s or equity security’s term. To the extent PIK interest and PIK dividends constitute a portion of our income, weare exposed to typical risks associated with such income being required to be included in taxable and accounting income prior to receipt of cash. Such risksinclude: •The higher interest or dividend rates of PIK instruments reflect the payment deferral and increased risk associated with these instruments, and PIKinstruments often represent a significantly higher risk than non-PIK instruments. •Even if the accounting conditions for income accrual are met, the borrower could still default when our actual collection is supposed to occur at thematurity of the obligation. •PIK instruments may have unreliable valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collectability of thedeferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. PIK income may also create uncertainty about the source of our cash distributions. •For accounting purposes, any cash distributions to shareholders representing PIK income are not treated as coming from paid-in capital, even thoughthe cash to pay them comes from the offering proceeds. As a result, despite the fact that a distribution representing PIK income could be paid out ofamounts invested by our shareholders, the 1940 Act does not require that shareholders be given notice of this fact by reporting it as a return ofcapital. •PIK interest or dividends have the effect of generating investment income at a compounding rate, thereby further increasing the incentive feespayable to OFS Advisor. Similarly, all things being equal, the deferral associated with PIK interest or dividends also decreases the investmentprincipal-to-value ratio at a compounding rate. The valuation process for certain of our portfolio holdings creates a conflict of interest. Many of our portfolio investments are made in the form of securities that are not publicly traded. As a result, our board of directors will determine thefair value of these securities in good faith as described below in “Many of our portfolio investments are recorded at fair value as determined in good faith byour board of directors and, as a result, there may be uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments.” In connection with that determination,investment professionals from OFS Advisor may provide our board of directors with portfolio company valuations based upon the most recent portfoliocompany financial statements available and projected financial results of each portfolio company. In addition, the members of our board of directors who arenot independent directors have a substantial indirect pecuniary interest in OFS Advisor. The participation of OFS Advisor’s investment professionals in ourvaluation process, and the indirect pecuniary interest in OFS Advisor by those members of our board of directors, could result in a conflict of interest sinceOFS Advisor’s management fee is based, in part, on our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowedamounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity). 28 We may have additional conflicts related to other arrangements with OFS Advisor or its affiliates. We have entered into a license agreement with OFSAM under which OFSAM has granted us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name“OFS.” See “Item 1. Business—Management and Other Agreements—License Agreement.” In addition, we will rent office space from a subsidiary of OFSAMand pay to that subsidiary our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement,such as rent and our allocable portion of the cost of our officers, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief compliance officer andchief accounting officer. This will create conflicts of interest that our board of directors must monitor. The Investment Advisory Agreement with OFS Advisor and the Administration Agreement with OFS Services were not negotiated on an arm’s length basisand may not be as favorable to us as if they had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party. The Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement were negotiated between related parties. Consequently, their terms,including fees payable to OFS Advisor, may not be as favorable to us as if they had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party. In addition, we couldchoose not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights and remedies under these agreements because of our desire to maintain our ongoingrelationship with OFS Advisor, OFS Services and their respective affiliates. Any such decision, however, would breach our fiduciary obligations to ourshareholders. Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates will be restricted, which may limit the scope of investments available to us. Because we have elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, we are prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactionswith our affiliates without the prior approval of our independent directors and, in some cases, of the SEC. Those transactions include purchases and sales, andso-called “joint” transactions, in which we and one or more of our affiliates are engaging together in certain types of profit-making activities. Any person thatowns, directly or indirectly, five percent or more of our outstanding voting securities will be our affiliate for purposes of the 1940 Act, and we are generallyprohibited from engaging in purchases or sales of assets or joint transactions with such affiliates, absent the prior approval of our independent directors.Additionally, without the approval of the SEC, we are prohibited from engaging in purchases or sales of assets or joint transactions with the followingaffiliated persons: (a) our officers, directors, and employees; (b) OFS Advisor and its affiliates; and (c) OFSAM or its affiliates. We may, however, invest alongside OFSAM and its other affiliates or their respective other clients in certain circumstances where doing so isconsistent with applicable law and SEC staff interpretations. For example, we may invest alongside such accounts consistent with guidance promulgated bythe SEC staff permitting us and such other accounts to purchase interests in a single class of privately placed securities so long as certain conditions are met,including that OFS Advisor, acting on our behalf and on behalf of other clients, negotiates no term other than price. We may also invest alongside OFSAMand its other affiliates or their respective other clients as otherwise permissible under regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and OFS Advisor’sallocation policy. Under this allocation policy, if two or more investment vehicles with similar or overlapping investment strategies are in their investmentperiods, an available opportunity will be allocated based on the provisions governing allocations of such investment opportunities in the relevantorganizational, offering or similar documents, if any, for such investment vehicles. In the absence of any such provisions, OFS Advisor will consider thefollowing factors and the weight that should be given with respect to each of these factors: •investment guidelines and/or restrictions, if any, set forth in the applicable organizational, offering or similar documents for the investmentvehicles; •risk and return profile of the investment vehicles; •suitability/priority of a particular investment for the investment vehicles; •if applicable, the targeted position size of the investment for the investment vehicles; •level of available cash for investment with respect to the investment vehicles; •total amount of funds committed to the investment vehicles; and •the age of the investment vehicles and the remaining term of their respective investment periods, if any. In situations where co-investment with such other accounts is not permitted or appropriate, such as when there is an opportunity to invest in differentsecurities of the same issuer or where the different investments could be expected to result in a conflict between our interests and those of other accounts, OFSAdvisor will need to decide which account will proceed with the investment. The decision by OFS Advisor to allocate an opportunity to another entity couldcause us to forego an investment opportunity that we otherwise would have made. Moreover, except in certain circumstances, we will be unable to invest inany issuer in which OFSAM and its other affiliates or a fund managed by OFSAM or its other affiliates has previously invested. Similar restrictions limit ourability to transact business with our officers or directors or their affiliates. These restrictions may limit the scope of investment opportunities that wouldotherwise be available to us. 29 We may also be prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval ofmembers of our board of directors who are not interested persons and, in some cases, prior approval by the SEC. The SEC has interpreted the BDC regulationsgoverning transactions with affiliates to prohibit certain “joint transactions” between entities that share a common investment adviser. In connection with ourelection to be regulated as a BDC, we will not be permitted to co-invest with other funds managed by OFSAM or one of its affiliates in certain types ofnegotiated investment transactions unless we receive exemptive relief from the SEC permitting us to do so. Although we may apply to the SEC for exemptiverelief to permit such co-investment and liquidity transactions, subject to certain conditions, we cannot be certain that any application for such relief would begranted or what conditions would be placed on such relief. SBA regulations limit the outstanding dollar amount of SBA guaranteed debenture funding that may be received by an SBIC or group of SBICs undercommon control. SBA regulations currently limit the amount that an SBIC may borrow to up to a maximum of $150 million when it has at least $75 million inregulatory capital, receives a leverage commitment from the SBA and has been through an examination by the SBA subsequent to licensing. For two or moreSBICs under common control, the maximum amount of outstanding SBA-provided leverage cannot exceed $225 million. A bill proposed in the U.S. Houseof Representatives would increase the total SBIC leverage capacity for affiliated SBIC funds from $225 million to $350 million. However, the ultimate formand likely outcome of such legislation, if reintroduced, or any similar legislation cannot be predicted. We cannot presently predict whether or not we will borrow the maximum permitted amount; if we reach the maximum dollar amount of SBAguaranteed debentures permitted, and thereafter require additional capital, our cost of capital may increase, and there is no assurance that we will be able toobtain additional financing on acceptable terms. Moreover, SBIC I LP’s status as an SBIC does not automatically assure that it will receive SBA guaranteed debenture funding. Receipt of SBAleverage funding is dependent upon whether SBIC I LP is and continues to be in compliance with SBA regulations and policies and whether funding isavailable. The amount of SBA leverage funding available to SBICs is dependent upon annual Congressional authorizations and in the future may be subjectto annual Congressional appropriations. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient debenture funding available at the times desired by SBIC I LP.As of December 31, 2014, the Company had fully funded its $75.0 million commitment to SBIC I LP. As of December 31, 2014, SBIC I LP had leveragecommitments of approximately $149.9 million from the SBA, and $127.3 million of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures, leaving incremental borrowingcapacity of $22.6 million, under present SBIC regulations. SBIC I LP is subject to SBA regulations. Our investment strategy includes SBIC I LP, which is regulated by the SBA. On December 4, 2013, we acquired the remaining limited and generalpartnership interests of SBIC I LP that we did not already own, which resulted in SBIC I LP becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary. The SBIC license allows SBIC I LP to receive SBA-guaranteed debenture funding, subject to the issuance of leverage commitments by the SBA andother customary procedures. Prior to becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary, SBIC I LP had received $67.3 million in SBA leverage commitments. In July2014, the Company funded the remaining $13.6 million of its $75 million commitment to SBIC I LP. As of December 31, 2014, SBIC I LP had leveragecommitments of approximately $149.9 million from the SBA, and $127.3 million of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures, leaving incremental borrowingcapacity of $22.6 million under present SBIC regulations. However, receipt of SBA-guaranteed debenture funding is subject to SBIC I LP’s compliance withSBA regulations and policies. We cannot assure shareholders that SBIC I LP will satisfy the conditions to receive such funding or that it will otherwise beable to make additional draws on its existing commitment from the SBA. Further, the SBA regulations require that a licensed SBIC be periodically examined and audited by the SBA to determine its compliance with therelevant SBA regulations. If SBIC I LP fails to comply with applicable SBA regulations, the SBA could, depending on the severity of the violation, limit orprohibit its use of debentures, declare outstanding debentures immediately due and payable, and/or limit its ability to make new investments. The SBA, as acreditor, will have a superior claim to SBIC I LP’s assets over SBIC I LP’s limited partners and our shareholders in the event SBIC I LP is liquidated or theSBA exercises its remedies under the SBA debentures issued by SBIC I LP in the event of a default. In addition, the SBA can revoke or suspend a license forwillful or repeated violation of, or willful or repeated failure to observe, any provision of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 or any rule or regulationpromulgated thereunder. These actions by the SBA would, in turn, negatively affect us because of our ownership interest in SBIC I LP. The SBA places certain limitations on the financing terms of investments by SBICs in portfolio companies and prohibits an SBIC from providingfunds to small businesses for certain purposes, such as relending, real estate or investing in companies outside of the United States, and providing funds tobusinesses engaged in a few prohibited industries and to certain “passive” (i.e., non-operating) companies. In addition, without prior SBA approval, an SBICmay not invest an amount equal to more than approximately 30% of the SBIC’s regulatory capital in any one company and its affiliates. Compliance withSBIC requirements may cause SBIC I LP to forego attractive investment opportunities that are not permitted under SBA regulations. 30 SBIC I LP is subject to ongoing regulation and oversight by the SBA, including requirements with respect to maintaining certain minimum financialratios and other covenants. In addition, SBIC I LP may also be limited in its ability to make distributions to us if it does not have sufficient accumulated netprofit, in accordance with SBA regulations. These requirements may make it more difficult for us to achieve our investment objective. We finance our investments with borrowed money, which magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and may increase the risk ofinvesting in us. The use of leverage magnifies the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested. The use of leverage is generally considered a speculativeinvestment technique and increases the risks associated with investing in our securities. We may pledge up to 100% of our assets and may grant a securityinterest in all of our assets under the terms of any debt instruments we may enter into with lenders. In addition, under the terms of any credit facility or otherdebt instrument we enter into, we are likely to be required by its terms to use the net proceeds of any investments that we sell to repay a portion of the amountborrowed under such facility or instrument before applying such net proceeds to any other uses. If the value of our assets decreases, leveraging would causenet asset value to decline more sharply than it otherwise would have had we not leveraged, thereby magnifying losses or eliminating our equity stake in aleveraged investment. Similarly, any decrease in our revenue or income will cause our net income to decline more sharply than it would have had we notborrowed. Such a decline would also negatively affect our ability to make dividend payments on our common stock or preferred stock. Our ability to serviceour debt will depend largely on our financial performance and will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures. Moreover,because the management fee payable to OFS Advisor is payable based on our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents and goodwill and intangibleassets related to the SBIC Acquisitions but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity), OFSAdvisor will have a financial incentive to incur leverage which may not be consistent with our shareholders’ interests. In addition, our common shareholderswill bear the burden of any increase in our expenses as a result of our use of leverage, including interest expenses and any increase in the management feepayable to OFS Advisor. As a BDC, we are generally required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total borrowings and other senior securities, which include all of ourborrowings and any preferred stock that we may issue in the future, of at least 200%. If this ratio declines below 200%, we will not be able to incur additionaldebt and could be required to sell a portion of our investments to repay some debt when it is disadvantageous to do so. This could have a material adverseeffect on our operations, and we may not be able to make distributions. The amount of leverage that we employ will depend on OFS Advisor’s and our boardof directors’ assessment of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. We cannot assure shareholders that we will be able to obtain creditat all or on terms acceptable to us. The following table illustrates the effect of leverage on returns from an investment in our common stock assuming various annual returns, net ofexpenses. The calculations in the table below are hypothetical and actual returns may be higher or lower than those appearing in the table below. Assumed Return on Our Portfolio (Net of Expenses) -10% -5% 0% 5% 10%Corresponding return to common stockholder (1)-28% -16% -5% 6% 18% (1)Assumes $312.2 million in investments at fair value, $199.9 million in debt outstanding, $137.5 million in net assets and an average cost of funds of3.53%. Assumptions are based on our financial condition and our average cost of funds at December 31, 2014. Based on our outstanding indebtedness of $199.9 million as of December 31, 2014 and the average cost of funds of 3.53% as of that date, ourinvestment portfolio must experience an annual return of at least 2.26% to cover interest payments on the outstanding debt. To the extent we use debt to finance our investments, changes in interest rates will affect our cost of capital and net investment income. To the extent we borrow money or issue preferred stock to make investments, our net investment income will depend, in part, upon the differencebetween the rate at which we borrow funds or pay dividends on preferred stock and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result, we can offer noassurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income in the event we use debt tofinance our investments. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income. We may useinterest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Such techniques may include various interest ratehedging activities to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. A rise in the general level of interest rates typically leads to higher interest rates applicable to our debt investments. Accordingly, an increase ininterest rates may result in an increase of the amount of incentive fees payable to OFS Advisor. 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 temporary investment portfolio. Under a reverse repurchaseagreement, 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 anamount equal to a percentage of the fair value of the pledged collateral. At the maturity of the reverse repurchase agreement, we will be required to repay theloan and correspondingly receive back our collateral. While used as collateral, the assets continue to pay principal and interest which are for the benefit of us. 31 Our use of reverse repurchase agreements, if any, involves many of the same risks involved in our use of leverage, as the proceeds from reverserepurchase agreements generally will be invested in additional securities. There is a risk that the market value of the securities acquired in the reverserepurchase agreement may decline below the price of the securities that we have sold but remain obligated to purchase. In addition, there is a risk that themarket value of the securities retained by us may decline. If a buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement were to file for bankruptcy orexperience insolvency, we may be adversely affected. Also, in entering into reverse repurchase agreements, we would bear the risk of loss to the extent thatthe proceeds of such agreements at settlement are less than the fair value of the underlying securities being pledged. In addition, due to the interest costsassociated with reverse repurchase agreements transactions, our net asset value would decline, and, in some cases, we may be worse off than if we had notused such instruments. We may in the future determine to fund a portion of our investments with preferred stock, which would magnify the potential for gain or loss and the risksof investing in us in the same way as our borrowings. Preferred stock, which is another form of leverage, has the same risks to our common shareholders as borrowings because the dividends on anypreferred stock we issue must be cumulative. Payment of such dividends and repayment of the liquidation preference of such preferred stock must takepreference over any dividends or other payments to our common shareholders, and preferred shareholders are not subject to any of our expenses or losses andare not entitled to participate in any income or appreciation in excess of their stated preference. We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities, which could reduce returns and result in losses. A number of entities compete with us to make the types of investments that we plan to make. We will compete with public and private funds,commercial and investment banks, commercial financing companies and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equity andhedge funds. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. Forexample, we believe some of our competitors may have access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition, some of our competitors may havehigher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish more relationships thanus. Furthermore, many of our competitors are not subject to the regulatory restrictions that the 1940 Act imposes on us as a BDC or the source of income, assetdiversification and distribution requirements we must satisfy to maintain our RIC status. The competitive pressures we face may have a material adverse effecton our business, financial condition and results of operations. As a result of this competition, we may not be able to take advantage of attractive investmentopportunities from time to time, and we may not be able to identify and make investments that are consistent with our investment objective. With respect to the investments we make, we will not seek to compete based primarily on the interest rates we will offer, and we believe that some ofour competitors may make loans with interest rates that will be lower than the rates we offer. In the secondary market for acquiring existing loans, we expectto compete generally on the basis of pricing terms. With respect to all investments, we may lose some investment opportunities if we do not match ourcompetitors’ pricing, terms and structure. However, if we match our competitors’ pricing, terms and structure, we may experience decreased net interestincome, lower yields and increased risk of credit loss. We may also compete for investment opportunities with OFSAM and its other affiliates or accountsmanaged by OFSAM or one of its other affiliates. Although OFS Advisor will allocate opportunities in accordance with its policies and procedures,allocations to such other accounts will reduce the amount and frequency of opportunities available to us and may not be in the best interests of us and ourshareholders. Moreover, the performance of investments will not be known at the time of allocation. We may suffer credit losses. Investment in middle market companies is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk of credit loss, and therefore our securities may notbe suitable for someone with a low tolerance for risk. These risks are likely to increase during an economic recession. We will be subject to corporate-level federal income tax if we are unable to qualify or maintain our qualification as a RIC. We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, but no assurance can be given that we will be able to maintain RIC status.As a RIC, we are not required to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on our income and capital gains distributed (or deemed distributed) to ourshareholders. To continue to qualify as a RIC under the Code and to be relieved of federal taxes on income and gains distributed to our shareholders, we mustmeet certain source-of-income, asset diversification and distribution requirements. The distribution requirement for a RIC is satisfied if we distribute at least90% of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to our shareholders on an annual basis. Wewill be subject, to the extent we use debt financing or preferred stock, to certain asset coverage ratio requirements under the 1940 Act and financial covenantsunder loan and credit agreements or preferred stock that could, under certain circumstances, restrict us from making distributions necessary to qualify as aRIC. If we are unable to obtain cash from other sources, we may fail to qualify and maintain our qualification for the tax benefits available to RICs and, thus,may be subject to corporate-level federal income tax. To maintain our qualification as a RIC, we must also meet certain asset diversification requirements atthe end of each calendar quarter. Failure to meet these tests may result in our having to dispose of certain investments quickly in order to prevent the loss ofRIC status. Because most of our investments are in private or thinly traded public companies, any such dispositions could be made at disadvantageous pricesand may result in substantial losses. If we fail to continue to qualify, as a RIC for any reason and become subject to corporate-level federal income tax, theresulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce our net assets, the amount of income available for distributions to shareholders and the amount of ourdistributions and the amount of funds available for new investments. Such a failure would have a material adverse effect on us and our shareholders. See“Item 1. Business—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation as a RIC.” 32 Our subsidiaries and portfolio companies may be unable to make distributions to us that will enable us to meet RIC requirements, which could result in theimposition of an entity-level tax. In order for us to continue to maintain our status as a RIC and to minimize corporate-level taxes, we are required to distribute on an annual basissubstantially all of our taxable income, which includes income from our subsidiaries and portfolio companies. As a substantial portion of our investments aremade through OFS Capital WM and SBIC I LP, we are substantially dependent on those entities for cash distributions to enable us to maintain the RICdistribution requirements. SBIC I LP may be limited by the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 and SBA regulations governing SBICs from makingcertain distributions to us that may be necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a RIC. We may have to request a waiver of the SBA’s restrictions forSBIC I LP to make certain distributions to maintain our status as a RIC and we cannot assure shareholders that the SBA will grant such waiver. Additionally,OFS Capital WM is managed by an unaffiliated loan manager pursuant to the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility documentation, which prescribes the order inwhich payments are to be applied and contains other contractual restrictions. Accordingly, we cannot assure shareholders that OFS Capital WM will makedistributions to us. If our subsidiaries and portfolio companies are unable to make distributions to us, this may result in loss of RIC status and a consequentimposition of a corporate-level federal income tax on us. We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before, or without, receiving cash representing such income. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will include in income certain amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as the accretion of OID.This may arise if we purchase assets at a discount, receive warrants in connection with the making of a loan or in other circumstances, or through contractedPIK interest or dividends (meaning interest or dividends paid in the form of additional principal amount of the loan or equity security instead of in cash),which represents contractual interest or dividends added to the loan balance or equity security and due at the end of the investment term. Such OID, whichcould be significant relative to our overall investment activities, or increases in loan or equity investment balances as a result of contracted PIK arrangements,will be included in income before we receive any corresponding cash payments. We also may be required to include in income certain other amounts that wewill not receive in cash. Since in certain cases we may recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income, we may have difficulty meeting therequirement to distribute at least 90% of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, to maintainthe tax benefits available to RICs. In such a case, we may have to sell some of our investments at times and/or at prices we would not consider advantageous,raise additional debt or equity capital or reduce new investment originations and sourcings to meet these distribution requirements. If we sell built-in-gainassets, we may be required to recognize taxable income in respect of the built-in-gain on such assets. In such a case, we would have to distribute all of ourtaxable gain (including the built-in-gain) in respect of such sale to avoid the imposition of entity-level tax on such gain. If we are not able to obtain suchcash from other sources, we may fail to maintain the tax benefits available to RICs and thus be subject to corporate-level income tax. See “Item 1. Business—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation as a RIC.” We may in the future choose to pay dividends in our own stock, in which case shareholders may be required to pay tax in excess of the cash they receive. We distribute taxable dividends that are payable in cash or shares of our common stock at the election of each shareholder. Under certain applicableprovisions of the Code and the Treasury regulations, distributions payable in cash or in shares of stock at the election of shareholders are treated as taxabledividends. The Internal Revenue Service has issued private rulings indicating that this rule will apply even where the total amount of cash that may bedistributed is limited to no more than 20% of the total distribution. Under these rulings, if too many shareholders elect to receive their distributions in cash,each such shareholder would receive a pro rata share of the total cash to be distributed and would receive the remainder of their distribution in shares of stock.If we decide to make any distributions consistent with these rulings that are payable in part in our stock, taxable shareholders receiving such dividends willbe required to include the full amount of the dividend (whether received in cash, our stock, or a combination thereof) as ordinary income (or as long-termcapital gain to the extent such distribution is properly reported as a capital gain dividend) to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profitsfor United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. shareholder may be required to pay tax with respect to such dividends in excess of any cashreceived. If a U.S. shareholder sells the stock it receives as a dividend in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included inincome with respect to the dividend, depending on the market price of our stock at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. shareholders, wemay be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in stock. Inaddition, if a significant number of our shareholders determine to sell shares of our stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividends, it may put downwardpressure on the trading price of our stock. 33 Because we expect to distribute substantially all of our net investment income and net realized capital gains to our shareholders, we may need additionalcapital to finance our growth and such capital may not be available on favorable terms or at all. We have elected to be taxed for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. If we meet certain requirements, includingsource of income, asset diversification and distribution requirements, and if we continue to qualify as a BDC, we will continue to qualify to be a RIC underthe Code and will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on income we distribute to our shareholders as dividends, allowing us to substantially reduce oreliminate our corporate-level tax liability. As a BDC, we are generally required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets to total senior securities, whichincludes all of our borrowings and any preferred stock we may issue in the future, of at least 200% at the time we issue any debt or preferred stock. Thisrequirement limits the amount that we may borrow. Because we will continue to need capital to grow our investment portfolio, this limitation may prevent usfrom incurring debt or preferred stock and require us to raise additional equity at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. We cannot assure investorsthat debt and equity financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, and debt financings may be restricted by the terms of any of ouroutstanding borrowings. In addition, as a BDC, we are generally not permitted to issue common stock priced below net asset value without shareholderapproval. If additional funds are not available to us, we could be forced to curtail or cease new lending and investment activities, and our net asset valuecould decline. Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to and the way in which we raise additional capital. As a BDC, we will need to raiseadditional capital, which will expose us to risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage. We may issue debt securities or preferred stock and/or borrow money from banks or other financial institutions, which we refer to collectively as“senior securities,” up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, we are permitted as a BDC to issue seniorsecurities in amounts such that our asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 200% of gross assets less all liabilities and indebtednessnot represented by senior securities, after each issuance of senior securities. If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test. If thathappens, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness at a timewhen such sales may be disadvantageous. Also, any amounts that we use to service our indebtedness would not be available for distributions to our commonshareholders. If we issue senior securities, we will be exposed to typical risks associated with leverage, including an increased risk of loss. As of December 31, 2014, we had debt outstanding in the amount of $199.9 million. Our ability to incur additional debt and remain in compliancewith the asset coverage test will be limited. We may seek a credit facility to finance investments and potentially for working capital requirements. There canbe no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms or at all, or that SBIC I LP will be able to borrow additional funds. We havereceived an exemptive order from the SEC to permit us to exclude the debt of SBIC I LP guaranteed by the SBA from our definition of senior securities in ourstatutory 200% asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act. If we issue preferred stock, the preferred stock would rank “senior” to common stock in our capital structure, preferred shareholders would haveseparate voting rights on certain matters and might have other rights, preferences or privileges more favorable than those of our common shareholders, andthe issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premiumprice for holders of our common stock or otherwise be in our shareholders’ best interest. Holders of our common stock will directly or indirectly bear all of thecosts associated with offering and servicing any preferred stock that we issue. In addition, any interests of preferred shareholders may not necessarily alignwith the interests of holders of our common stock and the rights of holders of shares of preferred stock to receive dividends would be senior to those ofholders of shares of our common stock. We are not generally able to issue and sell our common stock at a price below net asset value per share. We may,however, sell our common stock, or warrants, options or rights to acquire our common stock, at a price below the then-current net asset value per share of ourcommon stock if our board of directors determines that such sale is in the best interests of us and our shareholders, and if our shareholders approve any suchsale. 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 ofdirectors, closely approximates the market value of such securities (less any distributing commission or discount). If we raise additional funds by issuingcommon stock or senior securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common stock, then the percentage ownership of our shareholders at that timewill decrease, and our shareholders might experience dilution. 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 thetime the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Subject to certain exceptions for follow-oninvestments and distressed companies, an investment in an issuer that has outstanding securities listed on a national securities exchange may be treated as aqualifying asset only if such issuer has a common equity market capitalization that is less than $250 million at the time of such investment and meets theother specified requirements. Various events could negatively impact the value of our investment in OFS Capital WM (and, as a result, a shareholder’s investment in us), including anevent of default under the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility documentation and the substantive consolidation of OFS Capital WM with us. The OFS Capital WM Credit Facility documentation contains several events of default, including breaches of representations and warranties by us,OFS Capital WM or Madison Capital (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Investments) and breaches of covenants that prohibit certainactions by us, OFS Capital WM, Madison Capital or the affiliate of Madison Capital that acts as loan manager for OFS Capital WM. If an event of defaultwere to occur, the trustee, at the request of the controlling lender, may accelerate the outstanding indebtedness under the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility andmay enforce its rights in the collateral securing the facility. As we have pledged our equity interest in OFS Capital WM as security for the obligations underthe OFS Capital WM Credit Facility, we may lose all or a portion of our investment in OFS Capital WM if an event of default occurs. Breaches of the OFSCapital WM Credit Facility documentation that fall short of an event of default could also negatively impact the value of our equity interest in OFS CapitalWM and the value of our shareholders’ investment in OFS Capital. 34 Adverse developments in the credit markets may impair our ability to secure debt financing. During the economic downturn in the United States that began in mid-2007, many commercial banks and other financial institutions stoppedlending or significantly curtailed their lending activity. In addition, in an effort to stem losses and reduce their exposure to segments of the economy deemedto be high risk, some financial institutions limited routine refinancing and loan modification transactions and even reviewed the terms of existing facilities toidentify bases for accelerating the maturity of existing lending facilities. As a result, it may be difficult for us to obtain desired financing to finance thegrowth of our investments on acceptable economic terms, or at all. If we are unable to consummate credit facilities on commercially reasonable terms, our liquidity may be reduced significantly. If we are unable torepay amounts outstanding under any facility we may enter into and are declared in default or are unable to renew or refinance any such facility, it wouldlimit our ability to initiate significant originations or to operate our business in the normal course. These situations may arise due to circumstances that wemay be unable to control, such as inaccessibility of the credit markets, a severe decline in the value of the U.S. dollar, a further economic downturn or anoperational problem that affects third parties or us, and could materially damage our business. Moreover, we are unable to predict when economic and marketconditions may become more favorable. Even if such conditions improve broadly and significantly over the long term, adverse conditions in particularsectors of the financial markets could adversely impact our business. We are highly dependent on information systems and systems failures could significantly disrupt our business, which may, in turn, negatively affect themarket price of our common stock and our ability to pay dividends. Our business is highly dependent on the communications and information systems of OFS Advisor and its affiliates as well as third parties. Anyfailure or interruption of those systems, including as a result of the termination of an agreement with any third-party service providers, could cause delays orother problems in our activities. Our financial, accounting, data processing, backup or other operating systems and facilities may fail to operate properly orbecome disabled or damaged as a result of a number of factors including events that are wholly or partially beyond our control and adversely affect ourbusiness. There could be: •sudden electrical or telecommunications outages;•natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes;•disease pandemics;•events arising from local or larger scale political or social matters, including terrorist acts; and•cyber-attacks. These events, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and negatively affect the market price of our common stock and our abilityto pay dividends to our shareholders. The failure in cyber security systems, as well as the occurrence of events unanticipated in our disaster recovery systems and management continuityplanning 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 ourdisaster recovery systems, or a support failure from external providers, could have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct business and on our results ofoperations and financial condition, particularly if those events affect our computer-based data processing, transmission, storage, and retrieval systems ordestroy data. If a significant number of our managers were unavailable in the event of a disaster, our ability to effectively conduct our business could beseverely 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. Likeother companies, we may experience threats to our data and systems, including malware and computer virus attacks, unauthorized access, system failures anddisruptions. 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 indamage to our reputation, financial losses, litigation, increased costs, regulatory penalties and/or customer dissatisfaction or loss. 35 If we do not invest a sufficient portion of our assets in qualifying assets, we could fail to continue to qualify as a BDC or be precluded from investingaccording to our current business strategy. As a BDC, we may not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such acquisition, at least 70%of our total assets are qualifying assets. See “Item 1. Business—Regulation.” We believe that most of the investments that we may acquire in the future will constitute qualifying assets. However, we may be precluded frominvesting in what we believe are attractive investments if such investments are not qualifying assets for purposes of the 1940 Act. If a sufficient portion of ourassets are not qualifying assets, we could violate the 1940 Act provisions applicable to business development companies. As a result of such violation,specific rules under the 1940 Act could prevent us, for example, from making follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies (which could result inthe dilution of our position) or could require us to dispose of investments at inappropriate times in order to come into compliance with the 1940 Act. If weneed to dispose of such investments quickly, it could be difficult to dispose of such investments on favorable terms. We may not be able to find a buyer forsuch investments and, even if we do find a buyer, we may have to sell the investments at a substantial loss. Any such outcomes would have a material adverseeffect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we do not maintain our status as a BDC, we would be subject to regulation as a registered closed-end investment company under the 1940 Act. Asa registered closed-end fund, we would be subject to substantially more regulatory restrictions under the 1940 Act which would significantly decrease ouroperating flexibility. Many of our portfolio investments are recorded at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors and, as a result, there may beuncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments. Many of our portfolio investments, including those of our subsidiaries, take the form of securities that are not publicly traded. The fair value ofsecurities and other investments that are not publicly traded may not be readily determinable. We value these securities at fair value as determined in goodfaith by our board of directors, including to reflect significant events affecting the value of our securities. Most of our investments (other than cash and cashequivalents) are classified as Level 3 under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820). Thismeans that our portfolio valuations are based on unobservable inputs and our own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset orliability in question. Inputs into the determination of fair value of our portfolio investments require significant management judgment or estimation. Even ifobservable market data are available, such information is result of consensus pricing information or broker quotes, which include a disclaimer that the brokerwould not be held to such a price in an actual transaction. The non-binding nature of consensus pricing and/or quotes accompanied by disclaimers materiallyreduces the reliability of such information. We presently retain the services of two independent service providers to review the valuation of these securities.The types of factors that the board of directors takes into account in determining the fair value of our investments generally include, as appropriate,comparison to third-party yield benchmarks and comparison to publicly traded securities including such factors as yield, maturity and measures of creditquality, the enterprise value of a portfolio company, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments andits earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business and other relevant factors. Because such valuations, andparticularly valuations of private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based onestimates, our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these securities existed. Ournet asset value could be adversely affected if our determinations regarding the fair value of our investments were materially higher than the values that weultimately realize upon the disposal of such securities. We 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 income as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. We could experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to a number of factors, including the interest rate payable on the debtsecurities we acquire, the default rate on such securities, the level of our expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealizedgains or losses, distributions from our subsidiaries and portfolio companies, the degree to which we encounter competition in our markets and generaleconomic conditions. In light of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods. Changes in the laws or regulations governing our business, or changes in the interpretations thereof, and any failure by us to comply with these laws orregulations, could have a material adverse effect on our, and our portfolio companies’, business, results of operations or financial condition. We and our portfolio companies are subject to regulation by laws at the U.S. federal, state and local levels, including those that govern BDCs, RICs,SBICs or non-depository commercial lenders. These laws and regulations, including applicable accounting standards, as well as their interpretation, maychange from time to time, and new laws, regulations, accounting standards and interpretations may also come into effect. Any such new or changed laws orregulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. 36 We are also subject to judicial and administrative decisions that affect our operations, including our loan originations, maximum interest rates, feesand other charges, disclosures to portfolio companies, the terms of secured transactions, collection and foreclosure procedures and other trade practices. Ifthese laws, regulations or decisions change, or if we expand our business into jurisdictions that have adopted more stringent requirements than those in whichwe currently conduct business, we may have to incur significant expenses in order to comply, or we might have to restrict our operations. If we do not complywith applicable laws, regulations and decisions, we may lose licenses needed for the conduct of our business and may be subject to civil fines and criminalpenalties. In addition, changes to the laws and regulations governing our operations related to permitted investments may cause us to alter our investmentstrategy, including making investments in entities such as OFS Capital WM and SBIC I LP, in order to avail ourselves of new or different opportunities. Suchchanges could result in material differences to the strategies and plans set forth in this annual report on Form 10-K and our accounting practices described inthis annual report on Form 10-K, and may shift our investment focus from the areas of expertise of OFS Advisor to other types of investments in which OFSAdvisor may have little or no expertise or experience. Any such changes, if they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations andthe value of your investment. 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 remainsubject to extended implementation periods and delayed effective dates and will require extensive rulemaking by regulatory authorities. While the fullimpact 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 futurerules implementing its provisions and the interpretation of those rules, along with other legislative and regulatory proposals directed at the financial servicesindustry or affecting taxation that are proposed or pending in the U.S. Congress, may negatively impact the operations, cash flows or financial condition of usor our portfolio companies, impose additional costs on us or our portfolio companies, intensify the regulatory supervision of us or our portfolio companies orotherwise 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 whetherthese 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. Proposed legislation may allow us to incur additional leverage. Legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives intended to revise certain regulations applicable to BDCs. The legislation provides for(i) increasing the amount of funds BDCs may borrow by reducing asset to debt limitations from 2:1 to 3:2, (ii) permitting BDCs to file registration statementswith the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that incorporate information from already-filed reports by reference, (iii) utilizing other streamlinedregistration processes afforded to operating companies, and (iv) allowing BDCs to own investment adviser subsidiaries. There are no assurances as to whenthe legislation will be reintroduced and enacted by Congress, if at all, or, if enacted, what final form the legislation would take. Loss of status as a RIC would reduce our net asset value and distributable income. We have qualified as a RIC under the Code. As a RIC, we do not have to pay federal income taxes on our income (including realized gains) that wedistribute to our shareholders, provided that we satisfy certain distribution and other requirements. Accordingly, we are not permitted under accounting rulesto establish reserves for taxes on our unrealized capital gains. If we fail to qualify for RIC status in any year, to the extent that we had unrealized gains, wewould have to establish reserves for taxes, which would reduce our net asset value and the amount potentially available for distribution. In addition, if we, asa RIC, were to decide to make a deemed distribution of net realized capital gains and retain the net realized capital gains, we would have to establishappropriate reserves for taxes that we would have to pay on behalf of shareholders. It is possible that establishing reserves for taxes could have a materialadverse effect on the value of our common stock. See “Item 1. Business— Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxation as a RIC.” Our board of directors may change our investment objective, operating policies and strategies without prior notice or shareholder approval. Our board of directors has the authority, except as otherwise provided in the 1940 Act, to modify or waive certain of our operating policies andstrategies without prior notice and without shareholder approval. However, absent shareholder approval, we may not change the nature of our business so asto cease to be, or withdraw our election as, a BDC. Under Delaware law, we also cannot be dissolved without prior shareholder approval except by judicialaction. We cannot predict the effect any changes to our current operating policies and strategies would have on our business, operating results and the pricevalue of our common stock. Nevertheless, any such changes could adversely affect our business and impair our ability to make distributions. 37 OFS Advisor can resign on 60 days’ notice, and we may not be able to find a suitable replacement within that time, resulting in a disruption in ouroperations that could adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations. OFS Advisor has the right, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, to resign at any time upon not less than 60 days’ written notice, whether wehave found a replacement or not. If OFS Advisor resigns, we may not be able to find a new investment adviser or hire internal management with similarexpertise and ability to provide the same or equivalent services on acceptable terms within 60 days, or at all. If we are unable to do so quickly, our operationsare likely to experience a disruption, our financial condition, business and results of operations as well as our ability to pay distributions are likely to beadversely affected and the market price of our shares may decline. In addition, the coordination of our internal management and investment activities islikely to suffer if we are unable to identify and reach an agreement with a single institution or group of executives having the expertise possessed by OFSAdvisor and its affiliates. Even if we are able to retain comparable management, whether internal or external, the integration of such management and theirlack of familiarity with our investment objective may result in additional costs and time delays that may adversely affect our financial condition, businessand results of operations. OFS Services can resign from its role as our Administrator under the Administration Agreement, and we may not be able to find a suitable replacement,resulting in a disruption in our operations that could adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations. OFS Services has the right to resign under the Administration Agreement, whether we have found a replacement or not. If OFS Services resigns, wemay not be able to find a new administrator or hire internal management with similar expertise and ability to provide the same or equivalent services onacceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to do so quickly, our operations are likely to experience a disruption, our financial condition, business and resultsof operations as well as our ability to pay distributions are likely to be adversely affected and the market price of our shares may decline. In addition, thecoordination of our internal management and administrative activities is likely to suffer if we are unable to identify and reach an agreement with a serviceprovider or individuals with the expertise possessed by OFS Services. Even if we are able to retain a comparable service provider or individuals to performsuch services, whether internal or external, their integration into our business and lack of familiarity with our investment objective may result in additionalcosts and time delays that may adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations. We incur significant costs as a result of being a publicly traded company. As a publicly traded company, we incur legal, accounting and other expenses, including costs associated with the periodic reporting requirementsapplicable to a company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act, as well as additional corporate governance requirements, includingrequirements under 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 securities. Under current SEC rules, beginning with our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, we have been required to report on our internal control overfinancial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related rules and regulations of the SEC. We are required to review our internalcontrol over financial reporting on an annual basis, and evaluate and disclose changes in our internal control over financial reporting on a quarterly andannual basis. As a result, we expect to continue to incur additional expenses that may negatively impact our financial performance and our ability to makedistributions. This process also results in a diversion of management’s time and attention. In the event that we are unable to maintain compliance withSection 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related rules, we and the market price of our securities may be adversely affected. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results orprevent fraud. As a result, stockholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the tradingprice of our common stock. Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosurecontrols and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in theirimplementation could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. In addition, any testing by us conducted in connection with Section 404 of theSarbanes-Oxley Act, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public accounting firm (when undertaken), may reveal deficiencies in ourinternal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to ourconsolidated financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors and lendersto lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock. 38 Capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability and we cannot predict when these conditions will occur. Such market conditionscould materially and adversely affect debt and equity capital markets in the United States and abroad, which could have a negative impact on ourbusiness, financial condition and results of operations. The global capital markets have experienced a period of disruption as evidenced by a lack of liquidity in the debt capital markets, write-offs in thefinancial services sector, the re-pricing of credit risk and the failure of certain major financial institutions. While the capital markets have improved, theseconditions could deteriorate again in the future. During such market disruptions, we may have difficulty raising debt or equity capital, especially as a resultof regulatory constraints. Market conditions may in the future make it difficult to extend the maturity of or refinance our existing indebtedness and any failure to do so couldhave a material adverse effect on our business. The illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to sell such investments if required. As a result,we may realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded our investments. In addition, significant changes in the capital markets, includingthe disruption and volatility, have had, and may in the future have, a negative effect on the valuations of our investments and on the potential for liquidityevents involving our investments. An inability to raise capital, and any required sale of our investments for liquidity purposes, could have a material adverseimpact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Various social and political tensions in the United States and around the world, including in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Russia, may continueto contribute to increased market volatility, may have long-term effects on the United States and worldwide financial markets, and may cause furthereconomic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. Several European Union (“EU”) countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain,and Portugal, continue to face budget issues, some of which may have negative long-term effects for the economies of those countries and other EU countries.There is also continued concern about national-level support for the euro and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy among EuropeanEconomic and Monetary Union member countries. The recent United States and global economic downturn, or a return to the recessionary period in theUnited States, could adversely impact our investments. We cannot predict the duration of the effects related to these or similar events in the future on theUnited States economy and securities markets or on our investments. We monitor developments and seek to manage our investments in a manner consistentwith achieving our investment objective, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. Risks Related to Our Investments Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio companies and harm our operating results. Many of our portfolio companies are susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions and may be unable to repay our loans 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 economicconditions may decrease the value of collateral securing some of our loans and the value of our equity investments. Economic slowdowns or recessions couldlead to financial losses in our portfolio and a decrease in revenues, net income and assets. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our fundingcosts, 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 ourinvestments and harm our operating results. A portfolio company’s failure to satisfy financial or operating covenants imposed by us or other lenders could lead to defaults and, potentially,termination of its loans and foreclosure on its assets, which could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize our portfolio company’sability to meet its obligations under the debt securities that we hold. We may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or tonegotiate new terms with a defaulting portfolio company. In addition, lenders in certain cases can be subject to lender liability claims for actions taken bythem 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 lenderliability claim, including as a result of actions taken if we render significant managerial assistance to the borrower. Furthermore, if one of our portfoliocompanies were to file for bankruptcy protection, even though we may have structured our investment as senior secured debt, depending on the facts andcircumstances, including the extent to which we provided managerial assistance to that portfolio company, a bankruptcy court might re-characterize our debtholding and subordinate all or a portion of our claim to claims of other creditors. Our investments in leveraged portfolio companies may be risky, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. Investment in leveraged companies involves a number of significant risks. Leveraged companies in which we invest may have limited financialresources and may be unable to meet their obligations under their debt securities that we hold. Such developments may be accompanied by a deterioration inthe value of any collateral and a reduction in the likelihood of our realizing any guarantees that we may have obtained in connection with our investment. Inaddition, our mezzanine loans are generally subordinated to senior loans and are generally unsecured. As such, other creditors may rank senior to us in theevent of an insolvency. Smaller leveraged companies also may have less predictable operating results and may require substantial additional capital tosupport their operations, finance their expansion or maintain their competitive position. 39 Our investments in lower credit quality obligations are risky and highly speculative, and we could lose all or part of our investment. Most of our debt investments are likely to be in lower grade obligations. The lower grade investments in which we invest may be rated belowinvestment grade by one or more nationally-recognized statistical rating agencies at the time of investment or may be unrated but determined by OFSAdvisor to be of comparable quality. Debt securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as “junk bonds” and are considered speculativewith respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The debt in which we invest typically is not rated by any rating agency, but webelieve that if such investments were rated, they would be below investment grade (rated lower than “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Service, lower than“BBB-” by Fitch Ratings or lower than “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s). We may invest without limit in debt of any rating, as well as debt that has not beenrated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investment in lower grade investments involves a substantial risk of loss. Lower grade securities or comparable unrated securities are consideredpredominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal and are susceptible to default or decline in market value due toadverse economic and business developments. The market values for lower grade debt tend to be very volatile and are less liquid than investment gradesecurities. For these reasons, your investment in our company is subject to the following specific risks: increased price sensitivity to a deteriorating economicenvironment; greater risk of loss due to default or declining credit quality; adverse company specific events are more likely to render the issuer unable tomake interest and/or principal payments; and if a negative perception of the lower grade debt market develops, the price and liquidity of lower gradesecurities may be depressed. This negative perception could last for a significant period of time. Our investments in private and middle-market portfolio companies are risky, and we could lose all or part of our investment. Investment in private and middle-market companies involves a number of significant risks. Generally, little public information exists about thesecompanies, and we rely on the ability of OFS Advisor’s investment professionals to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential returns frominvesting in these companies. If we are unable to uncover all material information about these companies, we may not make a fully informed investmentdecision, and we may lose money on our investments. Middle-market companies may have limited financial resources and may be unable to meet theirobligations under their debt securities that we hold, which may be accompanied by a deterioration in the value of any collateral and a reduction in thelikelihood of our realizing any guarantees we may have obtained in connection with our investment. In addition, such companies typically have shorteroperating histories, narrower product lines and smaller market shares than larger businesses, which tend to render them more vulnerable to competitors’actions and market conditions, as well as general economic downturns. Additionally, middle-market companies are more likely to depend on themanagement talents and efforts of a small group of persons. Therefore, the death, disability, resignation or termination of one or more of these persons couldhave a material adverse impact on our portfolio company and, in turn, on us. Middle-market companies also may be parties to litigation and may be engagedin rapidly changing businesses with products subject to a substantial risk of obsolescence. In addition, our executive officers, directors and OFS Advisor may,in the ordinary course of business, be named as defendants in litigation arising from our investments in the portfolio companies. If the assets securing the loans that we make decrease in value, then we may lack sufficient collateral to cover losses. We will at times take a security interest in the available assets of our portfolio companies, including the equity interests of their subsidiaries and, insome cases, the equity interests of our portfolio companies held by their shareholders. There is a risk that the collateral securing these types of loans maydecrease in value over time, may be difficult to sell in a timely manner, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based upon the success of thebusiness and market conditions, including as a result of the inability of a portfolio company to raise additional capital. In some circumstances, our lien couldbe subordinated to claims of other creditors. Additionally, deterioration in a portfolio company’s financial condition and prospects, including its inability toraise additional capital, may be accompanied by deterioration in the value of the collateral for these types of loans. Moreover, in the case of certain of ourinvestments, we do not have a first lien position on the collateral. Consequently, the fact that a loan may be secured does not guarantee that we will receiveprincipal and interest payments according to the loan’s terms, or that we will be able to collect on the loan should we be forced to enforce our remedies. Our equity ownership in a portfolio company may represent a control investment. Our ability to exit a control investment in a timely manner could result ina realized loss on the investment. If we obtain a control investment in a portfolio company, our ability to divest ourselves from a debt or equity investment could be restricted due toilliquidity in a private stock, limited trading volume on a public company’s stock, inside information on a company’s performance, insider blackout periods,or other factors that could prohibit us from disposing of the investment as we would if it were not a control investment. Additionally, we may choose not totake certain actions to protect a debt investment in a control investment portfolio company. As a result, we could experience a decrease in the value of ourportfolio company holdings and potentially incur a realized loss on the investment. We may suffer a loss if a portfolio company defaults on a loan and the underlying collateral is not sufficient. In the event of a default by a portfolio company on a secured loan, we will only have recourse to the assets collateralizing the loan. If the underlyingcollateral value is less than the loan amount, we will suffer a loss. 40 In the event of bankruptcy of a portfolio company, we may not have full recourse to its assets in order to satisfy our loan, or our loan may be subjectto equitable subordination. In addition, certain of our loans are subordinate to other debt of the portfolio company. If a portfolio company defaults on ourloan or on debt senior to our loan, or in the event of a portfolio company bankruptcy, our loan will be satisfied only after the senior debt receives payment.Where debt senior to our loan exists, the presence of intercreditor arrangements may limit our ability to amend our loan documents, assign our loans, acceptprepayments, exercise our remedies (through “standstill” periods) and control decisions made in bankruptcy proceedings relating to the portfolio company.Bankruptcy and portfolio company litigation can significantly increase collection losses and the time needed for us to acquire the underlying collateral inthe event of a default, during which time the collateral may decline in value, causing us to suffer losses. If the value of collateral underlying our loan declines or interest rates increase during the term of our loan, a portfolio company may not be able toobtain the necessary funds to repay our loan at maturity through refinancing. Decreasing collateral value and/or increasing interest rates may hinder aportfolio company’s ability to refinance our loan because the underlying collateral cannot satisfy the debt service coverage requirements necessary to obtainnew financing. If a borrower is unable to repay our loan at maturity, we could suffer a loss which may adversely impact our financial performance. The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business. All of our assets are presently invested in illiquid securities, and a substantial portion of our investments in leveraged companies is subject to legaland other restrictions on resale or is otherwise less liquid than more broadly traded public securities. The illiquidity of these investments may make itdifficult for us to sell such investments if the need arises. In addition, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we may realizesignificantly less than the value at which we have previously recorded our investments. We may also face other restrictions on our ability to liquidate aninvestment in a portfolio company to the extent that we, OFS Advisor, OFSAM or any of its other affiliates have material nonpublic information regardingsuch portfolio company. Price declines and illiquidity in the corporate debt markets may adversely affect the fair value of our portfolio investments, reducing our net asset valuethrough 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 byour 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 ofour 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; •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 inthe future and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, we use the pricing indicated by the externalevent to corroborate our valuation. We record decreases in the market values or fair values of our investments as unrealized depreciation. Declines in pricesand liquidity in the corporate debt markets may result in significant net unrealized depreciation in our portfolio. The effect of all of these factors on ourportfolio may reduce our net asset value by increasing net unrealized depreciation in our portfolio. Depending on market conditions, we could incursubstantial realized losses and may suffer additional unrealized losses in future periods, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financialcondition and results of operations. We are a non-diversified management investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and therefore we are not limited with respect to theproportion of our assets that may be invested in securities of a single issuer. We are classified as a non-diversified management investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, which means that we are not limited bythe 1940 Act with respect to the proportion of our assets that we may invest in securities of a single issuer. To the extent that we assume large positions in thesecurities of a small number of issuers, our net asset value may fluctuate to a greater extent than that of a diversified investment company as a result ofchanges in the financial condition or the market’s assessment of the issuer. We may also be more susceptible to any single economic or regulatory occurrencethan a diversified investment company. Beyond our asset diversification requirements as a RIC under the Code, we do not have fixed guidelines fordiversification, and our investments could be concentrated in relatively few portfolio companies. 41 Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of portfolio companies and industries, which will subject us to a risk of significant loss if any ofthese companies defaults on its obligations under any of its debt instruments or if there is a downturn in a particular industry. Although we believe our portfolio is well-diversified across companies and industries, our portfolio is and may in the future be concentrated in alimited number of portfolio companies and industries. Beyond the asset diversification requirements associated with our qualification as a RIC under theCode, we do not have fixed guidelines for diversification. As a result, the aggregate returns we realize may be significantly adversely affected if a smallnumber of investments perform poorly or if we need to write down the value of any one investment. Additionally, while we are not targeting any specificindustries, our investments may be concentrated in relatively few industries. As a result, a downturn in any particular industry in which we are invested couldalso significantly impact the aggregate returns we realize. We may hold the debt securities of leveraged companies that may, due to the significant volatility of such companies, enter into bankruptcy proceedings. Although we generally do not expect to make investments in companies or securities that OFS Advisor determines to be distressed investments, wemay hold debt securities of leveraged companies that may, due to the significant volatility of such companies, enter into bankruptcy proceedings orexperience similar financial distress. The bankruptcy process has a number of significant inherent risks. Many events in a bankruptcy proceeding are theproduct of contested matters and adversary proceedings and are beyond the control of the creditors. A bankruptcy filing by an issuer may adversely andpermanently affect the issuer. If the proceeding is converted to a liquidation, the value of the issuer may not equal the liquidation value that was believed toexist at the time of the investment. The duration of a bankruptcy proceeding is also difficult to predict, and a creditor’s return on investment can be adverselyaffected by delays until the plan of reorganization or liquidation ultimately becomes effective. The administrative costs in connection with a bankruptcyproceeding are frequently high and would be paid out of the debtor’s estate prior to any return to creditors. Because the standards for classification of claimsunder bankruptcy law are vague, our influence with respect to the class of securities or other obligations we own may be lost by increases in the number andamount of claims in the same class or by different classification and treatment. In the early stages of the bankruptcy process, it is often difficult to estimate theextent of, or even to identify, any contingent claims that might be made. In addition, certain claims that have priority by law (for example, claims for taxes)may be substantial. Our failure to make follow-on investments in our portfolio companies could impair the value of our portfolio. Following an initial investment in a portfolio company, we may make additional investments in that portfolio company as “follow-on” investments,in seeking to: •increase or maintain in whole or in part our position as a creditor or equity ownership percentage in a portfolio company; •exercise warrants, options or convertible securities that were acquired in the original or subsequent financing; or •preserve or enhance the value of our investment. We have discretion to make follow-on investments, subject to the availability of capital resources. Failure on our part to make follow-on investmentsmay, in some circumstances, jeopardize the continued viability of a portfolio company and our initial investment, or may result in a missed opportunity forus 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 makea follow-on investment because we may not want to increase our level of risk, because we prefer other opportunities or because we are inhibited bycompliance with BDC requirements or the desire to maintain our RIC status. Our ability to make follow-on investments may also be limited by OFS Advisor’sallocation policy. Because we generally do not hold controlling equity interests in our portfolio companies, we may not be able to exercise control over our portfoliocompanies or to prevent decisions by management of our portfolio companies that could decrease the value of our investments. We generally do not hold controlling equity positions in our portfolio companies. For portfolio companies in which we do not hold a controllingequity interest, we are subject to the risk that a portfolio company may make business decisions with which we disagree, and that the management and/orshareholders of a portfolio company may take risks or otherwise act in ways that are adverse to our interests. Due to the lack of liquidity of the debt andequity investments that we typically hold in our portfolio companies, we may not be able to dispose of our investments in the event we disagree with theactions of a portfolio company and may therefore suffer a decrease in the value of our investments. As a result of the WM 2012 Credit Facility Amendments,as defined below, see “The Company — Our Investment in OFS Capital WM,” we have substantial additional input into certain key management decisionswith respect to OFS Capital WM’s portfolio companies, including decisions with respect to amendments to or modifications of the investments in theseentities, or noticing or waiving of defaults or accelerating portfolio loans. While the loan manager for OFS Capital WM is not required to follow ourrecommendations, if we make a recommendation with which the loan manager disagrees, the loan manager must at our direction commence a process to sellthe applicable investment, subject to our right to control the negotiations for such sale and to suspend any such sales process. 42 Defaults by our portfolio companies will 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 assets. This could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize such portfolio company’s abilityto 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 tonegotiate new terms, which may include the waiver of certain financial covenants, with a defaulting portfolio company. Our portfolio companies may incur debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, our investments in such companies. We have invested a substantial portion of our capital in senior secured, unitranche, second-lien and mezzanine loans issued by our portfoliocompanies. The portfolio companies may be permitted to incur, other debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, the debt securities in which we invest. Bytheir terms, such debt instruments may provide that the holders are entitled to receive payment of interest or principal on or before the dates on which we areentitled to receive payments in respect of the debt securities in which we invest. Also, in the event of insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization orbankruptcy of a portfolio company, holders of debt instruments ranking senior to our investment in that portfolio company would typically be entitled toreceive payment in full before we receive any distribution in respect of our investment. After repaying senior creditors, the portfolio company may not haveany remaining assets to use for repaying its obligation to us. In the case of debt ranking equally with debt securities in which we invest, we would have toshare any distributions on an equal and ratable basis with other creditors holding such debt in the event of an insolvency, liquidation, dissolution,reorganization or bankruptcy of the relevant portfolio company. Additionally, certain loans that we make to portfolio companies may be secured on a second-priority basis by the same collateral securing first-priority debt of such companies. The senior secured liens on the collateral will secure the portfolio company’s obligations under any outstanding senior debtand may secure certain other future debt that may be permitted to be incurred by the portfolio company under the agreements governing the loans. Theholders of obligations secured by first-priority liens on the collateral will generally control the liquidation of, and be entitled to receive proceeds from, anyrealization 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 onmarket and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from sales of all of thecollateral 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 were not sufficient to repay amounts outstanding under the loan obligations secured by the second-priorityliens, then we, to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the collateral, would only have an unsecured claim against the portfolio company’sremaining assets, if any. The rights we may have with respect to the collateral securing the loans we make to our portfolio companies with more senior debt outstanding mayalso be limited pursuant to the terms of one or more intercreditor agreements that we enter into with the holders of such senior debt. Under a typicalintercreditor agreement, at any time that obligations that have the benefit of the first-priority liens are outstanding, any of the following actions that may betaken in respect of the collateral will be at the direction of the holders of the obligations secured by the first-priority liens: •the ability to cause the commencement of enforcement proceedings against the collateral; •the ability to control the conduct of such proceedings; •the approval of amendments to collateral documents; •releases of liens on the collateral; and •waivers of past defaults under collateral documents. We may not have the ability to control or direct such actions, even if our rights are adversely affected. We may also make unsecured loans to portfolio companies, meaning that such loans will not benefit from any interest in collateral of suchcompanies. Liens on such portfolio companies’ collateral, if any, will secure the portfolio company’s obligations under its outstanding secured debt and maysecure certain future debt that is permitted to be incurred by the portfolio company under its secured loan agreements. The holders of obligations secured bysuch liens will generally control the liquidation of, and be entitled to receive proceeds from, any realization of such collateral to repay their obligations infull before us. In addition, the value of such collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyersand other factors. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from sales of such collateral would be sufficient to satisfy our unsecured loanobligations after payment in full of all secured loan obligations. If such proceeds were not sufficient to repay the outstanding secured loan obligations, thenour unsecured claims would rank equally with the unpaid portion of such secured creditors’ claims against the portfolio company’s remaining assets, if any. 43 If we make subordinated investments, the obligors or the portfolio companies may not generate sufficient cash flow to service their debt obligations to us. We make subordinated investments that rank below other obligations of the obligor in right of payment. Subordinated investments are subject togreater risk of default than senior obligations as a result of adverse changes in the financial condition of the obligor or in general economic conditions. If wemake a subordinated investment in a portfolio company, the portfolio company may be highly leveraged, and its relatively high debt-to-equity ratio maycreate increased risks that its operations might not generate sufficient cash flow to service all of its debt obligations. The disposition of our investments may result in contingent liabilities. A significant portion of our investments involve private securities. In connection with the disposition of an investment in private securities, we maybe required to make representations about the business and financial affairs of the portfolio company typical of those made in connection with the sale of abusiness. We may also be required to indemnify the purchasers of such investment to the extent that any such representations turn out to be inaccurate, orwith respect to potential liabilities. These arrangements may result in contingent liabilities that ultimately result in funding obligations that we must satisfythrough our return of distributions previously made to us. Our investments in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive government regulation, litigation risk and certain other risks particular to that industry. We invest in companies in the healthcare industry that are subject to extensive regulation by the Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, and toa lesser extent, other federal, state and other foreign agencies. If any of these portfolio companies fail to comply with applicable regulations, they could besubject to significant penalties and claims that could materially and adversely affect their operations. Portfolio companies that produce medical devices ordrugs are subject to the expense, delay and uncertainty of the regulatory approval process for their products and, even if approved, these products may not beaccepted in the marketplace. In addition, governmental budgetary constraints effecting the regulatory approval process, new laws, regulations or judicialinterpretations of existing laws and regulations might adversely affect a portfolio company in this industry. Changes in healthcare or other laws andregulations applicable to the businesses of some of our portfolio companies may occur that could increase their compliance and other costs of doing business,require significant systems enhancements, or render their products or services less profitable or obsolete, any of which could have a material adverse effect ontheir results of operations. Portfolio companies in the healthcare industry may also have a limited number of suppliers of necessary components or a limitednumber of manufacturers for their products, and therefore face a risk of disruption to their manufacturing process if they are unable to find alternativesuppliers when needed. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect the operations of a portfolio company in the healthcare industry and, inturn, impair our ability to timely collect principal and interest payments owed to us and adversely affect the value of these portfolio companies. Our base management fee may induce OFS Advisor to cause us to incur leverage. Our base management fee is payable based upon our total assets, other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowedamounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity. This fee structure may encourage OFS Advisor to cause us to borrow money to financeadditional investments. Under certain circumstances, the use of borrowed money may increase the likelihood of default, which would disfavor holders of ourcommon stock. Given the subjective nature of the investment decisions made by OFS Advisor on our behalf, our board of directors may not be able tomonitor this potential conflict of interest effectively. Our incentive fee may induce OFS Advisor to make certain investments, including speculative investments. The incentive fee payable by us to OFS Advisor may create an incentive for OFS Advisor to make investments on our behalf that are riskier or morespeculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangement. The way in which the incentive fee payable to OFS Advisor isdetermined may encourage OFS Advisor to use leverage to increase the return on our investments. Under certain circumstances, the use of leverage mayincrease the likelihood of default, which would disfavor our shareholders. OFS Advisor receives an incentive fee based, in part, upon net capital gains realized on our investments. Unlike that portion of the incentive feebased on income, there is no hurdle rate applicable to the portion of the incentive fee based on net capital gains. As a result, OFS Advisor may have atendency to invest more capital in investments that are likely to result in capital gains as compared to income producing securities. Such a practice couldresult in our investing in more speculative securities than would otherwise be the case, which could result in higher investment losses, particularly duringeconomic downturns. 44 We may invest, to the extent permitted by law, in the securities and instruments of other investment companies, including private funds, and, to theextent we so invest, will bear our ratable share of any such investment company’s expenses, including management and performance fees. We will alsoremain obligated to pay management and incentive fees to OFS Advisor with respect to the assets invested in the securities and instruments of otherinvestment companies. With respect to each of these investments, each of our shareholders will bear his or her share of the management and incentive fee ofOFS Advisor as well as indirectly bearing the management and performance fees and other expenses of any investment companies in which we invest. Forexample, by virtue of our investment in OFS Capital WM, our shareholders indirectly incur management fees payable to the loan manager of the OFS CapitalWM portfolio. Our board of directors is charged with protecting our interests by monitoring how OFS Advisor addresses these and other conflicts of interestsassociated with its management services and compensation. While our board of directors is not expected to review or approve each borrowing or incurrenceof leverage, our independent directors will periodically review OFS Advisor’s services and fees. In connection with these reviews, our independent directorswill consider whether our fees and expenses (including those related to leverage) remain appropriate. OFS Advisor’s liability is limited under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and we have agreed to indemnify OFS Advisor against certain liabilities,which may lead OFS Advisor to act in a riskier manner on our behalf than it would when acting for its own account. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, OFS Advisor will not assume any responsibility to us other than to render the services called for underthat agreement, and it will not be responsible for any action of our board of directors in following or declining to follow OFS Advisor’s advice orrecommendations. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, OFS Advisor and its affiliates’ respective officers, directors, members, managers,shareholders and employees will not be liable to us, any subsidiary of ours, our directors, our shareholders or any subsidiary’s shareholders or partners for actsor omissions performed in accordance with and pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, except those resulting from acts constituting grossnegligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of such person’s duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement. In addition, we have agreedto indemnify OFS Advisor and its affiliates’ respective officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders and employees from and against any claims orliabilities, including reasonable legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred, arising out of or in connection with our business and operations or anyaction taken or omitted on our behalf pursuant to authority granted by the Investment Advisory Agreement, except where attributable to gross negligence,willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of such person’s duties under the Investment Advisory Agreement. These protections may lead OFSAdvisor to act in a riskier manner when acting on our behalf than it would when acting for its own account. We may be subject to additional risks if we engage in hedging transactions and/or invest in foreign securities. The 1940 Act generally requires that 70% of our investments be in issuers each of whom is organized under the laws of, and has its principal place ofbusiness in, any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands or any other possession of the United States. Ourinvestment strategy does not presently contemplate investments in securities of non-U.S. companies. We expect that these investments would focus on thesame junior debt securities investments that we make in U.S. middle-market companies and accordingly would be complementary to our overall strategy andenhance the diversity of our holdings. Investing in securities of emerging market issuers involves many risks, including economic, social, political, financial,tax and security conditions in the emerging market, potential inflationary economic environments, regulation by foreign governments, different accountingstandards and political uncertainties. Economic, social, political, financial, tax and security conditions also could negatively affect the value of emergingmarket companies. These factors could include changes in the emerging market government’s economic and fiscal policies, the possible imposition of, orchanges in, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions applicable to the emerging market companies or investments in their securities and thepossibility of fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies. Engaging in either hedging transactions or investing in foreign securities would entail additional risks to our shareholders. We could, for example,use instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors and, if we were to invest in foreign securities, we could use instruments such as forwardcontracts or currency options and borrow under a credit facility in currencies selected to minimize our foreign currency exposure. In each such case, wegenerally would seek to hedge against fluctuations of the relative values of our portfolio positions from changes in market interest rates or currency exchangerates. Hedging against a decline in the values of our portfolio positions would not eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the values of such positions orprevent 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. Such hedging transactions could also limit the opportunity for gain if the values of theunderlying portfolio positions increased. Moreover, it might not be possible to hedge against an exchange rate or interest rate fluctuation that was sogenerally anticipated that we would not be able to enter into a hedging transaction at an acceptable price. While we may enter into such transactions to seek to reduce currency exchange rate and interest rate risks, unanticipated changes in currencyexchange rates or interest rates could result in poorer overall investment performance than if we had not engaged in any such hedging transactions. Inaddition, the degree of correlation between price movements of the instruments used in a hedging strategy and price movements in the portfolio positionsbeing hedged could vary. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, we might not seek to establish a perfect correlation between the hedging instruments and theportfolio holdings being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation could prevent us from achieving the intended hedge and expose us to risk of loss. Inaddition, 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. 45 We may not realize gains from our equity investments. When we invest in senior secured, unitranche, second-lien and mezzanine loans, we may acquire warrants or other equity securities of portfoliocompanies as well. We also invest in equity securities directly. To the extent we hold equity investments, except as described below, we will attempt todispose of them and realize gains upon our disposition of them. However, the equity interests we receive may not appreciate in value and may decline invalue. 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 interestsmay not be sufficient to offset any other losses we experience. In the case of OFS Capital WM and SBIC I LP, our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we will notreceive direct benefits from the sale of assets in their portfolios. Rather, our return on our investment in such assets will depend on the ability of OFS CapitalWM’s and SBIC I LP’s portfolios to generate cash flow in excess of payments required, as appropriate, to be made to other parties under the terms of the OFSCapital WM Credit Facility documentation or the SBA debentures, and distribution of the excess to us. Risks Related to Our Common Stock There is a risk that shareholders may not receive distributions or that our distributions may not grow over time and a portion of our distributions may be areturn of capital. We have made distributions on a quarterly basis to our shareholders out of assets legally available for distribution. We cannot assure shareholdersthat we will achieve investment results that will allow us to make a specified level of cash distributions or year-to-year increases in cash distributions. Ourability to pay distributions might be adversely affected by the impact of one or more of the risk factors described in this annual report on Form 10-K. Due tothe asset coverage test applicable to us under the 1940 Act as a BDC, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions. When we make distributions, we will be required to determine the extent to which such distributions are paid out of current or accumulated earningsand profits. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of aninvestor’s basis in our stock and, assuming that an investor holds our stock as a capital asset, thereafter as a capital gain. A return of capital is a return toshareholders of a portion of their original investment in us rather than income or capital gains. See “Item 1. Business - Material U.S. Federal Income TaxConsiderations.” The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly. As with any stock, the market price of our common stock will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. The market price and liquidity ofthe 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 directlyrelated to our operating performance. These factors include: •significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of BDCs or other companies in our sector, which is not necessarily relatedto the operating performance of these companies; •exclusion of our common stock from certain market indices, such as the Russell 2000 Financial Services Index, which could reduce the ability ofcertain investment funds to own our common stock and put short-term selling pressure on our common stock; •changes in regulatory policies or tax guidelines, particularly with respect to RICs, SBICs or BDCs; •loss of RIC or BDC status; •failure of SBIC I LP to maintain its status as an SBIC; •changes or perceived changes in earnings or variations in operating results; •changes or perceived changes in the value of our portfolio of investments; •changes in accounting guidelines governing valuation of our investments; •any shortfall in revenue or net income or any increase in losses from levels expected by investors or securities analysts; 46 •departure of OFS Advisor’s, OFSC’s or any of their affiliates’ key personnel; •operating performance of companies comparable to us; •general economic trends and other external factors; and •loss of a major funding source. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. The Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that may have the effect of discouraginga third party from making an acquisition proposal for us. We have also adopted measures that may make it difficult for a third party to obtain control of us,including provisions of our articles of incorporation dividing our board of directors into three classes with the term of one class expiring at each annualmeeting of shareholders. These anti-takeover provisions may inhibit a change in control in circumstances that could give the holders of our common stockthe opportunity to realize a premium over the market price of our common stock. Certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could deter takeover attempts and have anadverse impact on the price of our common stock. The Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that may have the effect of discouraginga third party from making an acquisition proposal for us. We have also adopted measures that may make it difficult for a third party to obtain control of us,including provisions of our articles of incorporation dividing our board of directors into three classes with the term of one class expiring at each annualmeeting of shareholders. These anti-takeover provisions may inhibit a change in control in circumstances that could give the holders of our common stockthe opportunity to realize a premium over the market price of our common stock. Our common stock may trade below its net asset value per share, which limits our ability to raise additional equity capital. If our common stock is trading below its net asset value per share, we will generally not be able to issue additional shares of our common stock at itsmarket price without first obtaining the approval for such issuance from our shareholders and our independent directors. Shares of BDCs, including shares ofour common stock, have traded at discounts to their net asset values. As of December 31, 2014, our net asset value per share was $14.24. The daily averageclosing price of our shares on the Nasdaq Global Market for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $11.78. If our common stock trades below net asset value,the higher the cost of equity capital may result in it being unattractive to raise new equity, which may limit our ability to grow. The risk of trading below netasset value is separate and distinct from the risk that our net asset value per share may decline. We cannot predict whether shares of our common stock willtrade above, at or below our net asset value. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments Not applicable. Item 2. Properties We do not own or lease any real estate or other physical properties material to our operation. Our headquarters are located at 10 S. Wacker Drive,Suite 2500, Chicago, IL, 60606, and are provided by OFS Services pursuant to the Administration Agreement. Additional operations are conducted fromoffices in New York, New York and Los Angeles, California, which are also provided by OFS Services pursuant to the Administration Agreement. We believethat our office facilities are suitable and adequate for our business as we contemplate continuing to conduct it. Item 3. Legal Proceedings We, OFS Advisor and OFS Services, are not currently subject to any material pending legal proceedings threatened against us as of December 31,2014. 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 ourrights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities ofour portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will havea material effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. 47 PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “OFS.” The following table sets forth the range of high and lowsales prices of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market and our net asset value per share as determined as of the last day of each quartersince our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on November 8, 2012 through December 31. 2014: Closing Price Range Period NAV (1) High Low Fiscal 2014 Fourth Quarter $14.24 $12.45 $11.26 Third Quarter 14.22 13.11 12.07 Second Quarter 14.17 13.00 12.30 First Quarter 14.45 13.37 11.92 Fiscal 2013 Fourth Quarter 14.58 $12.95 $11.59 Third Quarter 14.46 12.66 11.66 Second Quarter 14.76 14.54 11.18 First Quarter 14.76 14.54 13.87 Fiscal 2012 Fourth Quarter (2) $14.80 $14.37 $12.88 (1)Net asset value per share is determined as of the last day in the relevant quarter and therefore may not reflect the net asset value per share on the dateof the high and low sales prices. The net asset values shown are based on outstanding shares at the end of each period. (2)Period from November 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (excludes IPO price of $15.00). The last reported sale price for our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 3, 2015 was $12.01 per share. We were added to theNASDAQ Global Select Market beginning January 2, 2014. As of March 3 2015, there were two holders of record of the common stock, one of which wasOFSAM. The other holder of record does not identify shareholders for whom shares are held beneficially in “nominee” or “street name.” Sales of Unregistered Securities As part of the BDC Conversion, OFSAM was issued an aggregate of 2,912,024 shares of common stock in OFS Capital Corporation in exchange forits limited liability company interest in OFS Capital, LLC at an average estimated equivalent price of $19.14 per share. These shares are not registered and, asa result, are restricted securities under the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may not be sold in the absence of registration underthe Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless an exemption from registration is available, including exemptions contained in Rule 144. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we did not purchase any shares of our common stock in the open market. Performance Graph This graph compares the return on our common stock with that of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and the Russell 1000 Index and the SNLU.S. RICs Index, for the period from November 8, 2012, the date our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market, through December 31, 2014.The graph assumes that, on November 8, 2012, a person invested $100 in our common stock, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index, the Russell 1000 Indexand the SNL U.S. RICs Index. The graph measures total shareholder return, which takes into account changes in stock price and assumes reinvestment of alldividends and distributions prior to any tax effect. 48 For the graph above, the Company has included the SNL U.S. RICs (Registered Investment Companies) Index as we believe the companies includedin such index are more representative of the Company’s line-of-business than the companies included in the Russell 1000. Given this is the first year that theSNL U.S. RICs Index is being presented, we have also included the Russell 1000 Index which was presented in the preceding year’s Form 10-K. The graph and other information furnished under this Part II Item 5 of this Form 10-K shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed”with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C, or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The stock priceperformance included in the above graph is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance. Distributions We are taxed as a RIC under the Code. Generally, a RIC is entitled to deduct dividends it pays to its shareholders from its income to determine“taxable income.” Taxable income includes our taxable interest, dividend and fee income, and taxable net capital gains. Taxable income generally differsfrom net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generallyexcludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized. In addition, gains realizedfor financial reporting purposes may differ from gains included in taxable income as a result of our election to recognize gains using installment saletreatment, which generally result in the deferment of gains for tax purposes until notes or other amounts, including amounts held in escrow, received asconsideration from the sale of investments are collected in cash. Taxable income includes non-cash income, such as changes in accrued and reinvestedinterest and dividends, which includes contractual PIK interest, and the amortization of discounts and fees. Cash collections of income resulting fromcontractual PIK interest or the amortization of discounts and fees generally occur upon the repayment of the loans or debt securities that include such items.Non-cash taxable income is reduced by non-cash expenses, such as realized losses and depreciation, and amortization expense. Our board of directors maintains a variable dividend policy with the objective of distributing four quarterly distributions in an amount not less than90-100% of our taxable quarterly income or potential annual income for a particular year. In addition, at the end of the year, we may also pay an additionalspecial dividend, or fifth dividend, such that we may distribute approximately all of our annual taxable income in the year it was earned, while maintainingthe option to spill over our excess taxable income. 49 The following table summarizes our distributions declared and paid on all shares since inception to date: Date Declared Record Date Payment Date AmountPer Share (2) Total Amount Fiscal 2014 November 4, 2014 December 17, 2014 December 31, 2014 $0.34 $3,278 August 7, 2014 September 16, 2014 September 30, 2014 0.34 3,276 May 7, 2014 June 16, 2014 June 30, 2014 0.34 3,275 January 21, 2014 January 31, 2014 February 14, 2014 0.34 3,274 Fiscal 2013 September 25, 2013 October 17, 2013 October 31, 2013 $0.34 $3,273 June 25, 2013 July 17, 2013 July 31, 2013 0.34 3,272 March 26, 2013 April 17, 2013 April 30, 2013 0.34 3,269 Fiscal 2012 November 26, 2012 (1) January 17, 2013 January 31, 2013 $0.17 $1,628 (1)Represented the dividend declared in the specified quarter, which, if prorated for the number of days remaining in the fourth quarter after the IPO inNovember 2012, would have been $0.34 per share.(2)The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is made annually as of the end of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the fullyear and distributions paid for the full year. If the tax characteristics of these distributions were determined as of December 31, 2012 (for the periodNovember 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012), March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013, September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013, March 31, 2014, June 30,2014, September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2014, the Company estimated that approximately zero, $0.18, $0.19, $0.18, zero, $0.19, $0.12, $0.04, and$0.11, respectively, would have represented a return of capital. We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of thesedistributions from time to time. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, includingpossible loss of our status as a regulated investment company. We cannot assure shareholders that they will receive any distributions at a particular level. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits generally are treated first as a return of capital to the extent of theshareholder’s tax basis, and any remaining distributions is treated as a capital gain. The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is madeannually as of the end of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year; therefore, a determinationmade on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the tax attributes of our annual distributions to shareholders. For dividends and distributions paidduring the year ended December 31, 2014, out of our approximately $13.1 million of distributions, approximately 66% represented ordinary income and34% represented a return of capital. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the distribution (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gains onthe sale of securities, and/or a return of paid-in-capital surplus, which is a nontaxable distribution) is mailed to our U.S. shareholders. To the extent ourtaxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital toour shareholders. We maintain an “opt-out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common shareholders. As a result, if we declare a dividend, cash dividends areautomatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock unless the shareholder specifically “opts out” of the dividend reinvestment plan andchooses to receive cash dividends. Item 6. Selected Consolidated Financial Data The following selected financial and other data for the year ended December 31, 2014 are derived from our consolidated financial statements thathave been audited by BDO USA, LLP, our independent auditors. Selected financial and other data for the year ended December 31, 2013, the periodNovember 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the period January 1, 2012 through November 7, 2012, and the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 arederived from our consolidated financial statements that have been audited by McGladrey LLP, previously our independent auditors.

Item 7.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward-Looking Statements This annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-lookingstatements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolioinvestments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,”“would,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Thesestatements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control anddifficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including withoutlimitation: •our limited experience operating a BDC or an SBIC, or maintaining our status as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code; •our dependence on key personnel; 51 •our ability to maintain or develop referral relationships; •the administration of OFS Capital WM’s portfolio by an unaffiliated loan manager; •our ability to replicate historical results; •the ability of OFS Advisor to identify, invest in and monitor companies that meet our investment criteria; •actual and potential conflicts of interest with OFS Advisor and other affiliates of OFSAM; •constraint on investment due to access to material nonpublic information; •restrictions on our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates; •limitations on the amount of SBA-guaranteed debentures that may be issued by an SBIC; •Our ability to comply with SBA regulations and requirements; •the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments; •competition for investment opportunities; •our ability to qualify and maintain our qualification as a RIC and as a BDC; •the ability of SBIC I LP, OFS Capital WM and any other portfolio companies to make distributions enabling us to meet RIC requirements; •our ability to raise capital as a BDC; •the timing, form and amount of any distributions from our portfolio companies; •the impact of a protracted decline in the liquidity of credit markets on our business; •the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest; •uncertain valuations of our portfolio investments; and •the effect of new or modified laws or regulations governing our operations. Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions couldprove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and otheruncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this annual report on Form 10-K should not be regarded as a representation by usthat our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, those described or identified in “Item 1A. Risk Factors”in this annual report on Form 10-K.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statementsand the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. Overview We are an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. Our investment objective is to provide ourshareholders with both current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments and, to a lesser extent, equity investments. Ourinvestment strategy focuses primarily on investments in middle-market companies in the United States. We use the term “middle-market” to refer tocompanies that may exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: number of employees between 150 and 2,000; revenues between $15 million and$300 million; annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, between $3 million and $50 million; generally, privatecompanies owned by private equity firms or owners/operators; and enterprise value between $10 million and $500 million. For additional information abouthow we define the middle-market, see “General—Investment Criteria/Guidelines.” 52 As of December 31, 2014, our investment portfolio consisted of outstanding loans of approximately $301.3 million in aggregate principal amount in61 portfolio companies, of which $177.8 million in aggregate principal amount was held by SBIC I LP, our wholly-owned SBIC subsidiary, in 25 portfoliocompanies, as well as equity investments of approximately $18.0 million, at fair value, held by SBIC I LP. As of December 31, 2014, 77% of our investmentportfolio was comprised of senior secured loans, 17% of subordinated loans and 6% of equity investments, at fair value. Our investment strategy focuses primarily on middle-market companies in the United States, including senior secured loans, which includes first-lien, second-lien and unitranche loans, as well as subordinated loans, and, to a lesser extent, warrants and other minority equity securities. We also may investup to 30% of our portfolio in opportunistic investments of non-eligible portfolio companies. Specifically, as part of this 30% basket, we may considerinvestments in investment funds that are operating pursuant to certain exceptions to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, andin advisers to similar investment funds, as well as in debt of middle-market companies located outside of the United States and debt and equity of publiccompanies that do not meet the definition of eligible portfolio companies because their market capitalization of publicly traded equity securities exceeds thelevels provided for in the 1940 Act. Our investment strategy includes SBIC I LP, which received an SBIC license from the SBA in May 2012. On December 4, 2013, we receivedapproval from the SBA to acquire all of the limited partnership interests in SBIC I LP and all of the ownership interests of its general partner, SBIC I GP, thatwere owned or subscribed for by other persons. We acquired the interests on December 4, 2013, which resulted in SBIC I LP becoming a wholly-ownedsubsidiary. The transaction was finalized in January 2014. The SBIC license allows SBIC I LP to receive SBA-guaranteed debenture funding, subject to theissuance of a leverage commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. SBA leverage funding is subject to SBIC I LP’s payment of certain fees tothe SBA, and the ability of SBIC I LP to draw on the commitment is subject to its compliance with SBA regulations and policies, including an audit by theSBA. For additional information regarding the regulation of SBIC I LP, see “- Regulation—Small Business Investment Company Regulations.” On November 26, 2013, we received an exemptive order from the SEC to permit us to exclude the debt of SBIC I LP guaranteed by the SBA from thedefinition of senior securities in the statutory 200% asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act, allowing for greater capital deployment. Our investment activities are managed by OFS Advisor, and supervised by our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent of us, OFSAdvisor and its affiliates. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement between us and OFS Advisor, we have agreed to pay OFS Advisor an annual basemanagement fee based on the average value of our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amountsand including assets owned by any consolidated entity), adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter, as well as an incentive fee basedon our investment performance. We have elected to exclude from the base management fee calculation any base management fee that would be owed inrespect of the intangible asset and goodwill resulting from our acquisitions of the remaining ownership interests in SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP on December 4,2013. We have also entered into an Administration Agreement with OFS Services, our Administrator. Under our Administration Agreement, we have agreed toreimburse OFS Services for our allocable portion (subject to policies reviewed and approved by our independent directors) of overhead and other expensesincurred by OFS Services in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. As a BDC, we must not acquire any assets other than “qualifying assets” specified in the 1940 Act unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in “eligible portfolio companies.” Underthe relevant SEC rules, the term “eligible portfolio company” includes all private companies, companies whose securities are not listed on a nationalsecurities exchange, and certain public companies that have listed their securities on a national securities exchange and have a market capitalization of lessthan $250 million, in each case organized in the United States. We are permitted to borrow money from time to time within the levels permitted by the 1940 Act (which generally allows us to incur leverage for upto 50% of our asset base). We may borrow money when the terms and conditions available are favorable to do so and are aligned with our investment strategyand portfolio composition. The use of borrowed funds or the proceeds of preferred stock to make investments would have its own specific benefits and risks,and all of the costs of borrowing funds or issuing preferred stock would be borne by holders of our common stock. We have elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of1986, or the Code. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and assets diversification requirements. Pursuant to theseelections, we generally will not have to pay corporate-level taxes on any income we distribute to our shareholders. 53 Recent Developments and Other Factors Affecting Comparability BDC Conversion. On November 7, 2012, OFS Capital, LLC converted into a Delaware corporation, OFS Capital Corporation, and the outstandinglimited liability company interest in OFS Capital, LLC was converted into 2,912,024 shares of common stock in OFS Capital Corporation. As part of theBDC Conversion, OFSAM was issued an aggregate of 2,912,024 shares of common stock in OFS Capital Corporation in exchange for its limited liabilitycompany interest in OFS Capital, LLC at an average estimated equivalent price of $19.14 per share. Transactions with SBIC I LP prior to our IPO. Prior to May 10, 2012, we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary of SBIC I LP and, therefore, inaccordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, or ASC Topic 810, the financial statements of SBIC I LP were consolidated with ours. OnMay 10, 2012, as a result of SBIC I LP’s receipt of an SBIC license, we became a 68.4% limited partner in SBIC I LP and were deemed, under the applicableaccounting literature, to continue to hold a controlling financial interest in SBIC I LP, as described more fully in our consolidated financial statements.Accordingly, we continued to consolidate the financial statements of SBIC I LP with ours at June 30, 2012. On July 27, 2012, however, SBIC I LP repaid itsloans together with accrued interest due to us in an aggregate amount of approximately $16.6 million, and the three investment professionals of SBIC I GPresigned from our affiliated entity. As a result, effective as of July 27, 2012, we deconsolidated SBIC I LP’s financial statements from our own, and accountedfor our investment in SBIC I LP under the equity method of accounting (“Tamarix Deconsolidation”). From November 8, 2012, upon the completion of ourIPO, until our acquisitions of the remaining ownership interests in SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP on December 4, 2013, we accounted for our equity investment inSBIC I LP at fair value. Acquisition of SBIC I LP & SBIC I GP Interests. On December 4, 2013, we purchased the remaining limited partnership interests in SBIC I LP(“SBIC I LP Acquisition”), making SBIC I LP a wholly owned subsidiary of OFS Capital. On December 4, 2013, OFS Capital also acquired all of theremaining membership interests in SBIC I GP (“SBIC I GP Acquisition”). The SBIC I LP Acquisition and SBIC I GP Acquisition are referred to collectively asthe “SBIC Acquisitions”, or “Tamarix Acquisitions” (see Note 4 of our December 31, 2014 consolidated financial statements for more details). Thetransaction was finalized in January 2014. Upon the Tamarix Acquisitions, on December 4, 2013, we again consolidated the financial statements of bothSBIC I LP and SBIC I GP into our financial statements. WM 2012, 2013, and 2014 Credit Facility Amendments. Prior to the WM 2012 Credit Facility Amendments completed in March 2012, undergenerally accepted accounting principles, we did not consolidate OFS Capital WM’s financial statements into our financial statements, as we determined inaccordance with ASC Topic 810 that, despite our owning 100% of the equity interests of OFS Capital WM, the loan manager was the primary beneficiary ofOFS Capital WM. Therefore, prior to March 30, 2012, we recorded our equity interest in OFS Capital WM in our financial statements but did not consolidateOFS Capital WM’s financial statements with our own. As a result of the WM 2012 Credit Facility Amendments, OFS Capital succeeded the loan manager to the controlling financial interest in OFSCapital WM. In light of this and other factors, we have consolidated the financial statements of OFS Capital WM into our financial statements as of March 30,2012. The WM 2012 Credit Facility Amendments were entered into in light of OFS Capital WM having made investments which utilized the substantialmajority of its borrowing capacity under the OFS Capital WM Facility. Accordingly, it was determined that the management of an existing portfolio ofinvestment assets, as opposed to buying and originating activities, would constitute the activities that most significantly impact OFS Capital WM’seconomic performance. On January 22, 2013, the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility was amended, pursuant to which the Class B Facility, which had no outstandingborrowings, was terminated. As a result, the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility commitment was reduced from $180.0 million to $135.0 million. On November 22, 2013, the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility was further amended. Pursuant to the amendment, (1) the loan with Wells Fargo wasextended to December 31, 2018; (2) the reinvestment period for the Wells Fargo loan was extended to December 31, 2015; (3) the accrued interest rate onoutstanding Class A loans was reduced to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.50% per annum, and (4) the advance rate on borrowings wasincreased from 65% to 70%. In connection with the amendment, OFS Capital WM incurred financing costs of approximately $1.2 million. On January 17, 2014, the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility was further amended, pursuant to which the calculation of the borrowing base wasadjusted and the minimum equity requirement was lowered from $65.0 million to $50.0 million, resulting in additional liquidity for the Company. Nofinancing costs were incurred in connection with this amendment. 54 On July 24, 2014, the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility was further amended, pursuant to which the calculation of the borrowing base was adjustedand the minimum equity requirement was lowered from $50.0 million to $35.0 million, resulting in additional liquidity for the Company. In addition, themaximum facility was reduced from $135.0 million to $125.0 million. No financing costs were incurred in connection with this amendment. On November 18, 2014, OFS Capital WM elected to further reduce the maximum facility on the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility from $125.0million to $100.0 million. No financing costs were incurred in connection with this facility reduction. Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United Statesrequires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets andliabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from thoseestimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies: Valuation of Portfolio Investments. The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments and the relatedamounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. Our investments are carried at fair value in accordance with the 1940 Act and ASC Topic 820. At December 31, 2014, approximately 91% of ourtotal assets represented investments in portfolio companies that are valued at fair value by our board of directors. Value, as defined in Section 2(a)(41) of the1940 Act, is (i) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available and (ii) for all other securities and assets, fair value asdetermined in good faith by the board of directors. Our debt and equity securities are primarily comprised of investments in middle market companies whosesecurities are not publicly traded. Our investments in these portfolio companies are generally considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 because theinputs used to value the investments are generally unobservable. As such, we value substantially all of our investments at fair value as determined in goodfaith by our board of directors pursuant to a consistent valuation policy in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 820 and the 1940 Act. Due to theinherent uncertainty in determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investmentsdetermined in good faith by our board of directors may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a readily available market existedfor such investments, and the differences could be material. Our policies relating to the valuation of our portfolio investments are as follows: Investments for which sufficient market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations. We may also obtain indicative priceswith respect to certain of our investments from pricing services or brokers or dealers in order to value such investments. There is not a readily availablemarket value for many of our investments; those debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available arevalued at fair value as determined in good faith by the board of directors. We value such investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board ofdirectors using a documented valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. Our valuation of each of our assets for which sufficient marketquotations are not readily available is reviewed by one or more independent third-party valuation firms at least once every 12 months. Our board of directors is ultimately and solely responsible for determining the fair value of the portfolio investments that are not publicly traded,whose market prices are not readily available on a quarterly basis or any other situation where portfolio investments require a fair value determination. With respect to investments for which sufficient market quotations are not readily available or for which no or an insufficient number of indicativeprices from pricing services or brokers or dealers have been received, our board of directors undertakes, on a quarterly basis, unless otherwise noted, a multi-step valuation process, as described below: •For each debt investment, a basic credit rating review process is completed. The risk rating on every credit facility is reviewed and eitherreaffirmed or revised by the Advisor Investment Committee. This process establishes base information for the quarterly valuation process. •Each portfolio company or investment is valued by an investment professional. •The preliminary valuations are documented and are then submitted to the Advisor Investment Committee for ratification. •Third-party valuation firm(s) are engaged to provide valuation services as requested, by reviewing the preliminary valuations of the AdvisorInvestment Committee. The Advisor Investment Committee’s preliminary fair value conclusions on each of our assets, for which sufficientmarket quotations are not readily available are reviewed and assessed by a third-party valuation firm at least once in every 12-month period, andmore often as determined by the audit committee of our board of directors or required by our valuation policy. Such valuation assessment maybe in the form of positive assurance, range of values or other valuation method based on the discretion of our board of directors. 55 •The audit committee of our board of directors reviews the preliminary valuations of the Advisor Investment Committee and independentvaluation firms, and, if appropriate, recommends the approval of the valuations by the board of directors. •Our board of directors discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input ofOFS Advisor, the audit committee, and where appropriate, the respective independent valuation firms. The types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant, the nature and realizable value of anycollateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business,comparison to publicly traded securities and other relevant factors. Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our financial statements will express theuncertainty with respect to the possible effect of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our financial statements. Revenue Recognition. Our revenue recognition policies are as follows: Interest Income: Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual interest terms of the debt investments.Recognized interest income, if payable monthly or quarterly, is reflected as interest receivable until collected. Recognized interest income that is insteadadded to the principal balance and generally becomes due at maturity or at some other stipulated date (“PIK interest”) is reflected in the investment account.We accrue interest income until certain events take place, which may place a loan into a non-accrual status (see below). We will not accrue PIK interest if theportfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not collectible. Loan origination fees, OID, market discount or premium, and loan amendmentfees (collectively, “net loan origination fees”) are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts on a straight-line basis over the life of the loan asadditional interest income. When we receive a loan principal payment, the OID related to the paid principal is accelerated and recognized in interest income.This method is not materially different than the effective interest rate method. Unamortized OID is reflected in the investment account and unamortized loanamendment fees are reflected as deferred loan fee revenue. All other interest income is recorded into income when earned. Further, in connection with ourdebt investments, we will sometimes receive warrants or similar no cost equity-related securities (“Warrants”). We determine the cost basis of Warrants basedupon their respective fair values on the date of receipt in proportion to the total fair value of the debt and Warrants received. Any resulting difference betweenthe face amount of the debt and its recorded fair value resulting from the assignment of value to the Warrants is treated as OID, and accreted into interestincome as described above. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, unamortized discounts and origination fees on debt investments amounted to $3.7 million and $3.1 million,respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we recognized net loan origination fee income of $1.5 million, $1.5 million, and $1.0million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we recognized PIK interest income in the amount of $664 thousand, $37thousand, and $193 thousand, respectively. To maintain its status as a RIC, we include non-cash interest income (and non-cash dividend income describedbelow) in the amounts that must be paid out to our shareholders in the form of distributions. Dividend Income: Dividend income on common stock, generally payable in cash, is recorded at the time dividends are declared or at the point anobligation exists for the portfolio company to make a distribution supported by tax-basis earnings and profits. Dividend income on preferred equity isaccrued as earned. Such dividends on preferred equity securities could be payable in cash or in additional preferred securities and are generally not payableunless declared or upon liquidation. Declared dividends payable in cash are reflected as dividend receivables until collected. Dividends payable inadditional preferred securities or contractually earned but not declared are reflected in the investment account. We stop accruing dividends on our preferredequity securities when it is determined that the dividend is not collectible. We assess the collectability of the dividends based on factors including the fairvalue of the preferred equity security as well as the valuation of the portfolio company’s enterprise value. During the year ended December 31, 2014, werecognized preferred dividend income of $570 thousand, of which $445 thousand was contractually earned but not declared. For the year ended December31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized preferred dividend income of $8 thousand and $69 thousand, respectively. In addition, we did not recognize any commonstock dividend income during 2014, 2013 and 2012. Fee Income: We may generate revenue in the form of commitment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance andconsulting fees. Such revenue is recognized as the related services are rendered and amounted to $914 thousand, $135 thousand, and $37 thousand, for theyears ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Other Income: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by thedifference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis of investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized.Distribution of earnings from portfolio companies are evaluated to determine if the distribution is income or return of capital. Investments are recorded at fair value. Our board of directors determines the fair value of our portfolio investments. After recording all appropriateinterest and dividend income, some of which is reflected in the investment account as described above, we report changes in fair value of investments that aremeasured at fair value as a component of the net changes in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in the consolidated statements ofoperations. 56 Non-accrual loans: Loans on which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued are designated as non-accrual loans, and non-accrual loansare further designated to be accounted for under either a non-accrual cash method or a non-accrual cost recovery method. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when a loan either: (i) is delinquent for 90 days or more on principal or interest based on contractual terms of the loan (unless well secured andin the process of collection), or (ii) in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt about the collectability. When loans are placed on non-accrualstatus, all interest previously accrued but not collected, other than PIK interest that has already been contractually added to the principal balance, is reversedagainst current period interest income. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending uponmanagement’s judgment. Interest accruals are resumed on non-accrual loans only when they are brought current with respect to interest and principal andwhen, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to all principal and interest. We had one non-accrual loan atDecember 31, 2014 and 2013, which was accounted for as of December 31, 2014 as a non-accrual cash method loan. The loan had an aggregate fair value of$801 thousand and $1.1 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Principles of consolidation. Our December 31, 2014 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the OFS Capital and its wholly owned subsidiaries, OFS CapitalWM, OFS Funding, LLC, SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP. We consolidate an affiliated subsidiary if we own more than 50 percent of the subsidiary’s equity andholds the controlling financial interest in such subsidiary. We also consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) if we are the primary beneficiary in the VIE.Effective March 30, 2012, we consolidated the financial statements of OFS Capital WM into our own. Effective July 27, 2012, we deconsolidated thefinancial statements of SBIC I LP from our own. Effective December 4, 2013, we consolidated the financial statements of SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP into ourown. See “Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 3 and Note 4” for more detailed information. Portfolio Composition and Investment Activity Portfolio Composition The total fair value of our investments was approximately $312.2 million at December 31, 2014 and approximately $237.9 million at December 31,2013. Our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2014 consisted of outstanding loans to 61 portfolio companies, totaling approximately $301.3 million inaggregate principal amount (including SBIC I LP’s approximately $177.8 million in loans to 25 portfolio companies), of which 83% were senior securedloans and 17% were subordinated loans, as well as SBIC I LP’s approximately $18.0 million in equity investments, at fair value, in 15 portfolio companies inwhich it also held debt investments and one portfolio company in which it solely held an equity investment. Our investment portfolio encompassed a broadrange of geographical regions within the United States and industries. As of December 31, 2014, we had unfunded commitments of $7.8 million to sixportfolio companies, all of which were commitments of SBIC I LP. As of December 31, 2013, we had unfunded commitments of $4.8 million to three portfoliocompanies, two of which were commitments of SBIC I LP and one was a commitment of OFS Capital WM. Investment Activity For the year ended December 31, 2014, we closed new debt investments with 19 companies with an aggregate principal balance of $151.6 millionand made follow-on debt investments of approximately $5.6 million in five existing portfolio companies, including an additional funding of $0.3 millionunder a delayed draw senior term loan facility. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2014, we purchased new equity interests totaling approximately$6.1 million in four portfolio companies, made follow-on equity investments of approximately $0.5 million in two existing portfolio companies, andreceived warrants and LLC membership interest in connection with three new debt investment valued at approximately $1.1 million in total. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we received approximately $79.6 million in proceeds from principal payments on debt investments, whichincluded $2.9 million of principal payment received in connection with an investment restructuring in December 2014 (see below for more details). For the year ended December 31, 2014, we sold two debt investments for approximately $12.2 million, of which approximately $7.2 million wassettled in January 2015. In addition, in January 2014, we received proceeds of approximately $4.5 million for a debt investment we sold in 2013. On December 17, 2014, we restructured our investments in Tangible Software, Inc. (“Tangible”), a portfolio company in which we held a controllinginterest prior to the restructuring (“Tangible Restructuring”). As a result of the restructuring, we received a cash payment of approximately $2.9 million, anew note with a fair value of approximately $2.5 million on the restructuring date, and a minority share of common stock in Tangible valued at zero on therestructuring date. In connection with the Tangible Restructuring, we recognized a realized loss of approximately $3.6 million. The post-restructured debtinvestment was deemed an accrual loan as of December 31, 2014 and categorized as an affiliate investment on our December 31, 2014 consolidated scheduleof investments. 57 For the year ended December 31, 2013, we closed debt investments with eight companies with an aggregate principal balance of approximately$41.2 million and made equity investments totaling approximately $2.5 million in one portfolio company. Prior to the December 4, 2013 TamarixAcquisitions, SBIC I LP closed nine investments with five portfolio companies during the period January 1, 2013 through December 4, 2013. SBIC I LP’snine new investments during that period consisted of four debt investments with total principal balance of $19.4 million and unfunded commitments of $3.3million as well as five equity investments purchased for a total of $0.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we received approximately $63.1million in proceeds from principal payments on debt investments and sold three debt investments for approximately $13.9 million, of which approximately$4.5 million was settled in January 2014. We categorize debt investments into seven risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt. Foradditional information regarding our risk categories, see “Item 1. Business-General-Portfolio Review/Risk Monitoring”. The following table shows the classification of our debt investments portfolio by credit rating as of December 31, 2014 and 2013: December 31, 2014 2013 Debt Investments, at Fair Value % of Debt Investments Debt Investments, at Fair Value % of Debt Investments Credit Rating (Dollar amounts in thousands) 1 $- 0.0% $- 0.0%2 13,646 4.6% - 0.0%3 272,387 92.6% 204,273 88.6%4 7,368 2.5% 17,384 7.5%5 - 0.0% 7,846 3.4%6 801 0.3% 1,051 0.5%7 - 0.0% - 0.0% $294,202 100.0% $230,554 100.0% The following table shows the cost and fair value of our portfolio of investments by asset class as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the weighted average yield to fair value of our debt investments was approximately 9.56% and 8.53%,respectively. Throughout this document, the weighted average yield on debt investments at fair value is computed as (a) total annual stated interest onaccruing loans plus the annualized accretion of OID and amortization of deferred loan fees divided by (b) total debt investments at fair value excluding assetson non-accrual basis. The weighted average yield on debt investments at fair value is computed as of the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, floating rate loans comprised 73% and 85% of our debt investment portfolio, respectively, and fixed rate loanscomprised 27% and 15% of our debt investment portfolio, respectively, as a percent of fair value. Our level of investment activity may vary substantially from period to period depending on various factors, including, but not limited to, theamount of debt and equity capital available to middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity, the general economic environment andthe competitive environment for the types of investments we make. 58 Results of Operations Key Financial Measures The following is a discussion of the key financial measures that management employs in reviewing the performance of our operations. Revenues. We generate revenue in the form of interest income on debt investments, capital gains, and dividend income from our equity investments.Our debt investments typically have a term of three to eight years and bear interest at fixed and floating rates. As of December 31, 2014, floating rate andfixed rate loans comprised 73% and 27%, respectively, of our current debt investment portfolio; however, in accordance with our investment strategy, weexpect that over time the proportion of fixed rate loans will increase. In some cases, our investments will provide for deferred interest or dividend payment,PIK interest, or PIK dividend, respectively, (meaning interest or dividend paid in the form of additional principal amount of the loan or equity securityinstead of in cash). In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerialassistance and consulting fees. Loan origination fees, OID, market discount or premium, and loan amendment fees are capitalized, and we accrete or amortizesuch amounts over the life of the loan as interest income. When we receive principal payments on a loan in an amount that exceeds its carrying value, we willalso record the excess principal payment as income. Expenses. Our primary operating expenses include interest expense due under our outstanding borrowings (both the OFS Capital WM CreditFacility and the SBA debentures), the payment of fees to OFS Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, our allocable portion of overhead expensesunder the Administration Agreement and other operating costs described below. Additionally, we will pay interest expense on any outstanding debt underany new credit facility or other debt instrument we may enter into. We will bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions,whether incurred by us directly or on our behalf by a third party, including: •the cost of calculating our net asset value, including the cost of any third-party valuation services; •the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and other securities; •fees payable to third parties relating to making investments, including out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with performing due diligenceand reviews of prospective investments; •transfer agent and custodial fees; •out-of-pocket fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts; •federal and state registration fees and any stock exchange listing fees; •U.S. federal, state and local taxes; •independent directors’ fees and expenses; •brokerage commissions; •fidelity bond, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and other insurance premiums; •direct costs, such as printing, mailing and long-distance telephone; •fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs; •costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940 Act and other applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws; and •other expenses incurred by either OFS Services or us in connection with administering our business, including payments under the AdministrationAgreement that will be based upon our allocable portion (subject to policies reviewed and approved by our board of directors) of overhead. We do not believe that our historical operating performance is necessarily indicative of our future results of operations that we expect to report infuture periods. We are primarily focused on investments in middle-market companies in the United States, including debt investments and, to a lesser extent,equity investments, including warrants and other minority equity securities, which differs to some degree from our historical investment concentration, insenior secured loans to middle-market companies in the United States. Moreover, as a BDC and a RIC, we will also be subject to certain constraints on ouroperations, including, but not limited to, limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the Code. In addition, SBIC I LP is subject to regulation and oversight bythe SBA. For the reasons described above, the results of operations described below may not necessarily be indicative of the results we expect to report infuture periods. 59 Comparison of years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 Consolidated operating results for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 are as follows: 2014 2013 2012 (Amounts in thousands) Total investment income $22,820 $17,070 $13,432 Total expenses 13,685 11,352 9,337 Net investment income 9,135 5,718 4,095 Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments 805 1,957 (1,214)Total other income prior to becoming a business development company - - 3,113 Cumulative effect of accounting change - - 222 Net increase in net assets resulting from operations $9,940 $7,675 $6,216 Net income can vary substantially from period to period for various reasons, including the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealizedappreciation and depreciation. As a result, annual comparisons of net income may not be meaningful. Investment Income 2014 2013 2012 (Amounts in thousands) Interest income Non-control/non-affiliate investments $16,847 $16,613 $13,326 Affiliate investments 3,646 211 - Control investment 843 103 - Total interest income 21,336 16,927 13,326 Dividend and fee income Non-control/non-affiliate investments 621 - 106 Affiliate investments 838 136 - Control investment 25 7 - Total dividend and fee income 1,484 143 106 Total investment income $22,820 $17,070 $13,432 Comparison of Investment Income for the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013: Total investment income increased by approximately $5.8 million, or 34%, for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the year endedDecember 31, 2013. The $5.8 million increase in total investment income was due to an increase in interest income, and dividend and fee income. Theincrease in interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in debt investments originated by SBIC I LP (“SBIC I LP Investments”) during the yearended December 31, 2014, the higher yielding debt investments held by SBIC I LP, and the exclusion of the interest income generated by SBIC I LP from our2013 consolidated statement of operations prior to the Tamarix Acquisitions. The increase in dividend and fee income was primarily attributable to ourrecognition of dividend income contractually earned but not declared on certain of our preferred equity investments held by SBIC I LP during the year endedDecember 31, 2014, as well as fee income recognized by SBIC I LP in connection with certain of its debt investments. The increase in total investmentincome was offset by a decrease in interest income from investments held by OFS Capital WM (“OFS Capital WM Investments”). Interest Income: For the year ended December 31, 2014, we generated total interest income from non-control/non-affiliate investments in the amount ofapproximately $16.9 million, of which approximately $11.1 million was generated by OFS Capital WM Investments and $5.8 million by SBIC I LPInvestments. For the year ended December 31, 2013, interest income from non-control/non-affiliate investments was approximately $16.6 million, of whichapproximately $16.4 million was generated by OFS Capital WM Investments and $0.2 million by SBIC I LP Investments. The decrease in interest incomefrom non-control/non-affiliate investments generated by OFS Capital WM Investments of approximately $5.3 million during 2014 was primarily due to thedecrease in OFS Capital WM Investments in 2014 as compared with 2013. The increase in interest income from non-control/non-affiliate investmentsgenerated by SBIC I LP Investments of approximately $5.6 million during 2014 was attributable to (1) an increase in debt investments originated by SBIC ILP during 2014, and (2) the exclusion of the interest income generated by SBIC I LP from our 2013 consolidated statement of operations prior to theDecember 2013 Tamarix Acquisitions (while not consolidated with us from January 1, 2013 through December 4, 2013, SBIC I LP generated total interestincome of approximately $3.7 million from all its debt investments). 60 SBIC I LP holds all of our affiliate investments. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, SBIC I LP generated total interest income fromaffiliate investments in the amount of approximately $3.6 million and $211 thousand, respectively. The increase in total interest income from affiliateinvestments of approximately $3.4 million was due to (1) an increase in debt investments originated by SBIC I LP during 2014, and (2) the exclusion of theinterest income generated by SBIC I LP from our 2013 consolidated statement of operations prior to the Tamarix Acquisitions. SBIC I LP held our only control investment in Tangible prior to the Tangible Restructuring. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, SBICI LP generated total interest income from control investment in the amount of approximately $843 thousand and $103 thousand, respectively. Subsequent tothe Tangible Restructuring, our investment in Tangible was reclassified to an affiliated investment. Dividend and Fee Income: During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, SBIC I LP generated dividend and fee income of approximately $1.5 million and $143thousand, respectively. While not consolidated with us from January 1, 2013 through December 4, 2013, SBIC I LP had dividend and fee income ofapproximately $0.3 million. Comparison of Investment Income for the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012: Total investment income increased by approximately $3.6 million, or 27%, for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the year endedDecember 31, 2012. The $3.6 million increase in total investment income was primarily due to a full year of interest income generated by OFS Capital WMduring 2013, as compared to nine months during 2012, as a result of our consolidation of OFS Capital WM’s results of operations effective April 1, 2012. Expenses 2014 2013 2012 (Amounts in thousands) Interest expense $4,224 $3,384 $4,163 Amortization and write-off of deferred financing closing costs 1,354 965 472 Amortization of intangible asset 209 - - Management fees 2,916 3,435 2,245 Management fees - other related parties - - 627 Incentive fee 1,253 - - Professional fees 1,517 1,639 935 Administrative fee 1,245 938 110 General and administrative expenses 967 991 785 Total expenses $13,685 $11,352 $9,337 Comparison of Expenses for the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013: Total expenses increased by approximately $2.3 million, or 21%, for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the year ended December31, 2013. Interest expense increased by approximately $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013,primarily due to an approximately $1.3 million of 2014 interest expense incurred on our SBA debentures (which we assumed in the December 2013 TamarixAcquisitions), offset by a 2014 decrease of approximately $0.5 million in interest expense on the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility, primarily due to reductionin the interest rate and lower borrowings on the facility pursuant to the amendment to the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility in November 2013. Amortization and write-off of deferred financing closing costs increased by approximately $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014,compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to write-offs of deferred financing closing costs in the total amount of approximately $0.7million in connection with our July and November 2014 amendments to the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility, versus a write-off of deferred financing closingcosts of approximately $0.3 million as a result of the termination of the Class B loan facility of OFS Capital WM in January 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded $0.2 million of amortization expense of intangible asset related to the SBIC license, which wasrecognized by SBIC I LP upon closing of the Tamarix Acquisitions. We are amortizing this intangible asset over its estimated useful life, which wasdetermined to be approximately 12 years. 61 Management fee expense totaled approximately $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, consisting of approximately $2.2 million ofbase management fee expense we incurred to OFS Advisor and approximately $0.7 million of loan management fee charged by MCF Capital Management,LLC, the loan manager for OFS Capital WM (see OFS Capital WM Credit Facility section below for more details). Management fee expense totaledapproximately $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, consisting of approximately $2.4 million of base management fee expense we incurred toOFS Advisor and approximately $1.0 million of loan management fee charged by the loan manager for OFS Capital WM. The base management fee to OFSAdvisor decreased by approximately $0.2 million due to a lower combined base management fee rate of 0.875% (0.4375% for the first quarter of 2014 and0.145833% for each of the second, third, and fourth quarter of 2014) for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared with the combined base managementfee rate of 1.020833% for the year ended December 31, 2013 (0.875% per annum for the period January 1, 2013 through October 31, 2013, and 1.75% perannum for the period November 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013), partially offset by a higher asset base in 2014. See “Related Party Transactions –Investment Advisory Agreement”. The loan management fee charged by MCF Capital Management, LLC decreased by $0.2 million due to a decrease ininvestments held by OFS Capital WM in 2014 as compared with 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014. We incurred an incentive fee expense to OFS Advisor in the amount of approximately $1.2 million whilenone was incurred in 2013. Administrative fee expense increased by approximately $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December31, 2013, primarily due to an increase in the allocable amount of the salary and bonus of our officers and their respective staffs, corresponding with thegrowth of our business, which OFS Services passed along to us during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Comparison of Expenses for the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012: Total expenses increased by approximately $2.0 million, or 22%, for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared with the year endedDecember 31, 2012. Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012,primarily due to the decrease in the outstanding balance on the revolving lines of credit, which was partially offset by the higher interest expense we incurredfor the full twelve months of the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to only nine months of interest expense in the prior period as a result of ourconsolidation of OFS Capital WM statement of operations effective April 1, 2012. Amortization of deferred financing closing costs increased by $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year endedDecember 31, 2012, due to the termination of the Class B loan facility of OFS Capital WM in January 2013 and the resulting write off of $0.3 million inunamortized deferred financing closing costs. Management fees expense increased by approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31,2012, which was attributable to (1) an increase in management fee expense we incurred to our investment advisor during the year ended December 31, 2013in the amount of $0.9 million, and (2) reflection in our Statement of Operations of a full year of management fee expense incurred by OFS Capital WM to itsloan manager for 2013, compared to a reflection of only nine months of management fee expense for the period April 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.We incurred management fees – other related parties of approximately $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2012, which representedmanagement fee expense incurred by SBIC I LP to its investment manager during the year ended December 31, 2012, while it was consolidated into ourfinancial statements through July 27, 2012. We incurred an administrative fee expense of approximately $0.9 million and $0.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012,respectively. Professional fees and general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, due to our increased costs as a public company, professional fees incurred in connection with the TamarixAcquisitions, and our consolidation of OFS Capital WM’s statement of operations effective April 1, 2012. Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (loss) on Investments 2014 2013 2012 (Amounts in thousands) Net realized gain (loss) on non-control/non-affiliate investments $199 $87 $(1,112)Net realized gain on affiliate investment 28 - - Net realized loss on control investment (3,586) - - Realized gain from Tamarix Acquisitions - 2,742 - Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on non-control/non-affiliate investments 534 367 (61)Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on affiliate investments 1,880 511 (41)Net change in unrealized depreciation on control investment 1,750 (1,750) - Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments $805 $1,957 $(1,214) 62 For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded total net realized and unrealized gain on investments in the amount of approximately $0.8million. During 2014, we recorded net realized gain on sale of our debt investments in the total amount of approximately $0.2 million. In addition, inconnection with the Tangible Restructuring, we recorded approximately $3.6 million of net realized loss on control investment. See Portfolio Compositionand Investment Activity section above for more details. The $3.6 million net realized loss reflected a reversal of (1) approximately $1.8 million of unrealizedlosses recorded on this investment during the year ended December 31, 2013, (2) approximately $1.7 million of additional unrealized losses recorded fromJanuary 1, 2014 through December 17, 2014, the Tangible Restructuring date, and (3) approximately $0.1 million of additional losses we recognized on theTangible Restructuring date, which represented the difference between the fair value of consideration we received in connection with the TangibleRestructuring and the fair value of the pre-restructured investments on the restructuring date. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recorded total net unrealized gain on investments in the amount of approximately $4.2 million,consisting of approximately $0.5 million of net unrealized gain on non-control/non-affiliate investments, $1.9 million of net unrealized gain on affiliateinvestments, and $1.8 million of reversal of unrealized depreciation on the control investment (Tangible). For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded total net realized and unrealized gain on investments in the amount of approximately $2.0million. Net realized gain on sale of debt investments was approximately $0.1 million during the year. We also recorded a realized gain in the net amount ofapproximately $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as a result of the Tamarix Acquisitions, which were accounted for as step acquisitions inaccordance with ASC Topic 805. Under ASC Topic 805, the first step we took in accounting for the Tamarix Acquisitions was to re-measure our equityinterests in SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP to the Tamarix Acquisitions date fair value and recognize the resulting $2.7 million gain in earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded total net unrealized loss on investments in the amount of approximately $0.9 million, consistingof approximately $0.4 million of net unrealized gain on non-control/non-affiliate investments (impacted significantly by $2.3 million in unrealizeddepreciation on the investment in Strata Pathology Services, Inc.), $0.5 million of net unrealized gain on affiliate investments, and $1.8 million in unrealizeddepreciation on the control investment (Tangible). For the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded total net realized and unrealized loss on investments in the amount of approximately $1.2million, consisting primarily of approximately $1.1 million of net realized loss on non-control/non-affiliate investments, which represented net realized losswe incurred from sales of debt investments, and $0.1 million of combined net unrealized losses on non-control/non-affiliate and affiliate investments.

Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change We recorded cumulative effect of accounting change in the net amount of approximately $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012,consisting of approximately $0.5 million of cumulative increase to our net income as a result of SBIC I LP’s conversion to an investment company effectiveMay 10, 2012 when it received the SBIC license, offset by approximately $0.3 million of cumulative decrease to our net income as a result of our BDCelection on November 7, 2012. Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and Cash Equivalents At December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we had net cash used inoperating activities of $65.2 million, primarily due to $162.8 million of cash we used to purchase portfolio investments, offset by net proceeds of $79.6million we received from principal payments on our portfolio investments, cash collections of $9.5 million from sale of our portfolio investments, as well asour $9.9 million net increase in net assets resulting from operations. 63 Net cash provided by investing activities was $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 due to change in restricted cash held by OFSCapital WM maintained in an unfunded exposure account (as defined in the relevant loan documents under the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility), utilized tofund a debt investment owned by OFS Capital WM that had an unfunded revolving commitment. In August 2014, as a result of the payoff of this loan, OFSCapital WM’s revolving commitment was terminated and our restricted cash balance was reduced to zero. Net cash provided by financing activities was $48.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily attributable to $98.0 million of drawsfrom our SBA debentures (net of the fees), offset by the $36.3 million of net repayments on the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility, and $12.8 million of cash wepaid in dividends and distributions. As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $28.6 million. During 2013, we had net cash provided by operating activities of$29.2 million, primarily due to net proceeds of $63.1 million we received from principal payments on our portfolio investments and proceeds of $9.4 millionfrom sales of portfolio investments, partially offset by $50.3 million in new investments. Net cash used in investing activities was $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily attributable to the $8.1 million of cash wepaid in connection with the Tamarix Acquisitions, partially offset by our consolidation of the $1.2 million in cash and cash equivalents held by SBIC I LPupon the Tamarix Acquisitions. Net cash used in financing activities was $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, consisting of $10.7 million of cash dividends anddistributions, and $1.2 million of financing costs we paid to amend the OFS Capital WM Facility, offset by $9.7 million of net draw from the OFS CapitalWM Credit Facility. We intend to generate additional cash flows from our operations, distributions from equity investments, future borrowings, including borrowings byOFS Capital WM pursuant to the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility as well as by SBIC I LP under the SBA debentures, and through any future offerings ofsecurities. Our primary uses of funds are investments in debt and equity investments, interest payments on indebtedness, payment of other expenses, and cashdistributions to our shareholders. The OFS Capital WM Credit Facility OFS Capital WM has a $100.0 million secured revolving credit facility (as amended from time to time, the “OFS Capital WM Credit Facility”) withWells Fargo. The OFS Capital WM Credit Facility is secured by all current and future eligible loans acquired by OFS Capital WM. The OFS Capital WMCredit Facility has a maturity date of December 31, 2018 and a reinvestment period through December 31, 2015. The interest rate on outstanding borrowingsis the LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum at December 31, 2014. The minimum equity requirement currently is set at $35.0 million. As of December 31, 2014, wewere in compliance with the relevant covenants. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had $72.6 million and $109.0 million, respectively, in indebtedness outstanding under the OFS Capital WMCredit Facility. The interest rates on the revolving line of credit borrowings at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were 2.76% and 2.75%, respectively. For theyears ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, interest expense on revolving lines of credit totaled approximately $2.9 million, $3.3 million, and $4.2million, respectively. If at any time the amount of loans outstanding under the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility exceeds the borrowing base, a borrowing base deficiencywill exist. In that event, OFS Capital WM will have three business days to eliminate the deficiency by, among other things, (a) depositing additional cashinto the relevant collection account, (b) repaying the loans, or (c) pledging additional eligible loan assets. In the case of such a deficiency, we may determineit is in our best interests to make additional capital contributions to OFS Capital WM in the form of cash or additional eligible loan assets to protect the valueof our equity investment in OFS Capital WM, and our additional contributions could be material. Under the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility, the loan manager charges both a senior and subordinated management fee to OFS Capital WM for itsservices, each at 0.25% per annum of the assigned value of the underlying portfolio investments, which value is determined by the Controlling Lender (asdefined in the OFS Capital WM loan documents), plus an accrued fee that is deferred until after the end of the investment period of the portfolio investments.For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and 2012, we incurred management fee expense of approximately $0.7 million, $1.1 million, and $0.8million, respectively, to the loan manager. Availability under the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility as of December 31, 2014 was approximately $9.4 million based on the stated advance rate of70% under the borrowing base. SBA Debentures As a result of the Tamarix Acquisitions, SBIC I LP became our wholly-owned subsidiary effective December 4, 2013. SBIC I LP has an SBIC licensethat allows it to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures, subject to issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and customary procedures.These debentures are non-recourse to OFS Capital, and bear interest payable semi-annually, and each debenture has a maturity date that is ten years followingissuance. The interest rate is fixed at the time of issuance at a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with ten-year maturities. 64 Under present SBIC regulations, the maximum amount of SBA-guaranteed debt that may be issued by a single SBIC licensee is $150.0 million. AnSBIC fund may borrow up to two times the amount of its regulatory capital, subject to customary regulatory requirements. In connection with the TamarixAcquisitions, the Company increased its commitments to SBIC I LP to $75.0 million. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had fully funded its $75.0million commitment. As of December 31, 2014, SBIC I LP had leverage commitments of $149.9 million from the SBA, and $127.3 million of outstandingSBA-guaranteed debentures, leaving incremental borrowing capacity of $22.6 million. As of December 31, 2013, SBIC I LP had leverage commitments of$49.4 million from the SBA, and $26.0 million of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures, leaving incremental borrowing capacity of $23.4 million. On a stand-alone basis, SBIC I LP held approximately $215.7 million in assets at December 31, 2014, and accounted for approximately 63% of ourtotal consolidated assets at December 31, 2014. SBICs are designed to stimulate the flow of private equity capital to eligible small businesses. Under present SBA regulations, eligible smallbusinesses include businesses that have a tangible net worth not exceeding $19.5 million and have average annual fully taxed net income not exceeding$6.5 million for the two most recent fiscal years. In addition, an SBIC must devote 25.0% of its investment activity to “smaller” enterprises as defined by theSBA. A smaller enterprise is one that has a tangible net worth not exceeding $6.0 million and has average annual fully taxed net income not exceeding $2.0million for the two most recent fiscal years. SBA regulations also provide alternative criteria to determine eligibility, which may include, among other things,the industry in which the business is engaged, the number of employees of the business, its gross sales, and the extent to which the SBIC is proposing toparticipate in a change of ownership of the business. According to SBA regulations, SBICs may make long-term loans to small businesses, invest in theequity securities of such businesses and provide them with consulting and advisory services. SBIC I LP is periodically examined and audited by the SBA’s staff to determine its compliance with SBA regulations. If SBIC I LP fails to complywith applicable SBA regulations, the SBA could, depending on the severity of the violation, limit or prohibit SBIC I LP’s use of debentures, declareoutstanding debentures immediately due and payable, and/or limit SBIC I LP from making new investments. In addition, SBIC I LP may also be limited in itsability to make distributions to OFS Capital if it does not have sufficient capital in accordance with SBA regulations. Such actions by the SBA would in turn,negatively affect OFS Capital. Other Liquidity Matters We expect to fund the growth of our investment portfolio utilizing borrowings under SBA debentures, future equity offerings, including ourdividend reinvestment plan, and issuances of senior securities or future borrowings to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. We cannot assure shareholdersthat our plans to raise capital will be successful. In addition, we intend to distribute to our shareholders substantially all of our taxable income in order tosatisfy the requirements applicable to RICs under Subchapter M of the Code. Consequently, we may not have the funds or the ability to fund newinvestments or make additional investments in our portfolio companies to fund our unfunded commitments to portfolio companies. The illiquidity of ourportfolio investments may make it difficult for us to sell these investments when desired and, if we are required to sell these investments, we may realizesignificantly less than their recorded value. In addition, as a BDC, we generally will be required to meet a coverage ratio of total assets, less liabilities and indebtedness not represented bysenior securities (including SBIC I LP’s SBA-guaranteed debt), to total senior securities, which include all of our borrowings (excluding SBA-guaranteeddebt) and any outstanding preferred stock (of which we had none at December 31, 2014), of at least 200%. We received an exemptive order from the SEC topermit us to exclude the debt of SBIC I LP guaranteed by the SBA from the definition of Senior Securities in the statutory 200% asset coverage ratio underthe 1940 Act. This requirement limits the amount that we may borrow. To fund growth in our investment portfolio in the future, we anticipate needing to raiseadditional capital from various sources, including the equity markets and the securitization or other debt-related markets, which may or may not be availableon favorable terms, if at all. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We may be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of our business to meet the financial needs of ourportfolio companies. As of December 31, 2014, we had $7.8 million of total unfunded commitments to six portfolio companies. Unfunded commitmentsinvolve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet and are not reflected on our balance sheet. 65 Contractual Obligations The following table shows our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2014: Payments due by period Contractual Obligations (1) Total Less than 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years (2) After 5 years (2) (Amounts in thousands) OFS Capital WM Credit Facility $72,612 $- $- $72,612 $- SBA Debentures 127,295 - - - 127,295 Total $199,907 $- $- $72,612 $127,295 (1)Excludes commitments to extend credit to our portfolio companies.(2)The OFS Capital WM Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on December 31, 2018. The SBA debentures are scheduled to mature between September2022 and 2025. We have entered into contracts with third parties under which we have material future commitments—the Investment Advisory Agreement, pursuantto which OFS Advisor has agreed to serve as our investment adviser, and the Administration Agreement, pursuant to which OFS Services has agreed to furnishus with the facilities and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. We had subscribed for $75.0 million of total capital commitments to SBIC I LP, all of which was funded as of December 31, 2014. Commitments and Contingencies At December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had $7.8 million and $4.8 million of total unfunded commitments to six and three portfolio companies,respectively. At December 31, 2014, our $7.8 million unfunded commitments consisted of $7.4 million of unfunded debt commitments and $0.4 million ofunfunded equity commitments. At December 31, 2013, our entire $4.8 million unfunded commitments consisted of unfunded debt investments. Uponcompletion of the Tamarix Acquisitions on December 4, 2013, OFS Capital increased its commitment to SBIC I LP to $75.0 million. As of December 31,2014, OFS Capital had fully funded the $75.0 million commitment. From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. Although the outcome of such litigation cannot bepredicted with any certainty, management is of the opinion, based on the advice of legal counsel, that final disposition of any litigation should not have amaterial adverse effect on our financial position. Additionally, we are subject to periodic inspection by regulators to assess compliance with applicable regulations related to being a BDC and SBICI LP is subject to periodic inspections by the SBA. Management believes that the Company is in material compliance with such regulations and inspectionresults do not indicate otherwise. In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide generalindemnifications. Our maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against us that havenot occurred. We believe the risk of any material obligation under these indemnifications to be low. Distributions We are taxed as a RIC under the Code. Generally, a RIC is entitled to deduct dividends it pays to its shareholders from its income to determine“taxable income.” Taxable income includes our taxable interest, dividend and fee income, and taxable net capital gains. Taxable income generally differsfrom net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generallyexcludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized. In addition, gains realizedfor financial reporting purposes may differ from gains included in taxable income as a result of our election to recognize gains using installment saletreatment, which generally results in the deferment of gains for tax purposes until notes or other amounts, including amounts held in escrow, received asconsideration from the sale of investments are collected in cash. Taxable income includes non-cash income, such as changes in accrued and reinvestedinterest and dividends, which includes contractual PIK interest, and the amortization of discounts and fees. Cash collections of income resulting fromcontractual PIK interest or the amortization of discounts and fees generally occur upon the repayment of the loans or debt securities that include such items.Non-cash taxable income is reduced by non-cash expenses, such as realized losses and depreciation, and amortization expense. Our board of directors maintains a variable dividend policy with the objective of distributing four quarterly distributions in an amount not less than90-100% of our taxable quarterly income or potential annual income for a particular year. In addition, at the end of the year, we may also pay an additionalspecial dividend, or fifth dividend, such that we may distribute approximately all of our annual taxable income in the year it was earned, while maintainingthe option to spill over our excess taxable income to a following year. 66 The following table summarizes our distributions declared and paid to date on all shares subsequent to our IPO (dollar amounts in thousands exceptper share data): Date Declared Record Date Payment Date AmountPer Share (2) Total Amount Fiscal 2014 November 4, 2014 December 17,2014 December 31,2014 $0.34 $3,278 August 7, 2014 September 16,2014 September 30,2014 0.34 3,276 May 7, 2014 June 16, 2014 June 30, 2014 0.34 3,275 January 21, 2014 January 31, 2014 February 14, 2014 0.34 3,274 Fiscal 2013 September 25, 2013 October 17, 2013 October 31, 2013 $0.34 $3,273 June 25, 2013 July 17, 2013 July 31, 2013 0.34 3,272 March 26, 2013 April 17, 2013 April 30, 2013 0.34 3,269 Fiscal 2012 November 26, 2012 (1) January 17, 2013 January 31, 2013 $0.17 $1,628 (1)Represents the distribution declared in the specified period, which, if prorated for the number of days remaining in the fourth quarter after our IPO inNovember 2012, would have been $0.34 per share. (2)The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is made annually as of the end of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the fullyear and distributions paid for the full year. If the tax characteristics of these distributions were determined as of December 31, 2014, September 30,2014, June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013, June 30, 2013, March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012 (for the periodNovember 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012), the Company estimated that approximately $0.11, $0.04, $0.12, $0.19, zero, $0.18, $0.19, $0.18 andzero, respectively, would have represented a return of capital. We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of thesedistributions from time to time. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, includingpossible loss of our status as a regulated investment company. We cannot assure shareholders that they will receive any distributions at a particular level. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits generally are treated first as a return of capital to the extent of theshareholder’s tax basis, and any remaining distributions are treated as a capital gain. The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is madeannually as of the end of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year; therefore, a determinationmade on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the tax attributes of our annual distributions to shareholders. For the distribution paid during the yearended December 31, 2014, out of the approximately $13.1 million distribution, approximately 34% represented a return of capital and 66% representedordinary income. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the distribution (i.e., paid from ordinary income, paid from net capital gains onthe sale of securities, and/or a return of paid-in-capital surplus, which is a nontaxable distribution) is mailed to our U.S. shareholders. To the extent ourtaxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a taxable return of capitalto our shareholders. We maintain an “opt-out” dividend reinvestment plan for our common shareholders. As a result, if we declare a dividend, cash dividends areautomatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock unless the shareholder specifically “opts out” of the dividend reinvestment plan andchooses to receive cash dividends. 67 Related Party Transactions Investment Advisory Agreement We have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with OFS Advisor and will pay OFS Advisor a management fee and incentive fee. Pursuantto the Investment Advisory Agreement with OFS Advisor and subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors and in accordance with the 1940Act, OFS Advisor provides investment advisory services to us. For providing these services, OFS Advisor receives a fee from us consisting of two components—a base management fee and an incentive fee. From the completion of our IPO through October 31, 2013, the base management fee was calculated at anannual rate of 0.875% based on the average value of our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowedamounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, adjusted for any shareissuances or repurchases during the quarter. Beginning on November 1, 2013 and through March 31, 2014, pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement,the base management fee was calculated at an annual rate of 1.75% based on the average value of our total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents butincluding assets purchased with borrowed amounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity) at the end of the two most recently completedcalendar quarters. OFS Advisor has elected to exclude from the base management fee calculation any base management fee that would be owed in respect ofthe intangible asset and goodwill resulting from our acquisitions of the remaining ownership interests in SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP on December 4, 2013. On May 5, 2014, we were notified by OFS Advisor that, effective as of April 1, 2014, it would reduce its base management fee by two-thirds for thebalance of the 2014 fiscal year. Specifically, OFS Advisor agreed to reduce its base management fee from 0.4375% per quarter to 0.145833% per quarter forthe second, third, and fourth quarters of 2014. Accordingly, the effective annual base management fee for the 2014 fiscal year was equal to 50% of the 1.75%required by our Advisory Agreement with OFS Advisor, or not greater than 0.875%. OFS Advisor informed us that this reduction was made for the benefit ofour shareholders to take into account unforeseen delays in completing the Tamarix Acquisitions. The base management fee resumed to its 1.75% annual rateon January 1, 2015. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The base management fee expense was approximately $2.2 million and $2.4 million for theyear ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. On June 30, 2014, OFS Advisor deferred the receipt of the first quarter of 2014 base management fee in the amount of approximately $1.0 million,that would otherwise have been due from us by June 30, 2014, until further determination by OFS Advisor. In addition, on June 30, 2014, OFS Advisordeferred the receipt of the second quarter of 2014 base management fee in the amount of $341 thousand, that would otherwise have been due from us bySeptember 30, 2014, until further determination by OFS Advisor. The Investment Advisor informed the Company that the deferral of the fee was made for thebenefit of the Company’s shareholders to take into account unforeseen delays in completing the Tamarix Acquisitions. On October 31, 2014, OFS Advisorinformed us that it would not further defer the receipt of the base management fee for the first and second quarters of 2014. In addition, OFS Advisor informedus that the management fee, including the base management fee and incentive management fee (see below for more details about incentive fee), with respectto the third quarter of 2014 would not be deferred. We paid OFS Advisor the outstanding management fee for the first three quarters of 2014 in the aggregateamount of approximately $2.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2014. The incentive fee has two parts. One part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on our pre-incentive fee net investment income for thequarter. “Pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such ascommitment, origination and sourcing, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies but excluding feesfor providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, anyexpenses payable under the Administration Agreement and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding theincentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID, debt instrumentswith 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 gains, realized losses, unrealized capital appreciation or unrealized capitaldepreciation. Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that we may pay an incentive fee in a quarter where we incur a loss. For example, if wereceive pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, we will pay the applicable incentive fee even ifwe have incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness andbefore taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed“hurdle rate” of 2.0% per quarter. If market interest rates rise, we may be able to invest our funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, whichwould increase our pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for OFS Advisor to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an incentive feebased on such net investment income. There is no accumulation of amounts on the hurdle rate from quarter to quarter and accordingly there is no clawback ofamounts previously paid if subsequent quarters are below the quarterly hurdle rate, and there is no delay of payment if prior quarters are below the quarterlyhurdle rate. 68 We pay OFS Advisor an incentive fee with respect to our pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: •no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate; •100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, thatexceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5% in any calendar quarter. We refer to this portion of our pre-incentive fee net investment income(which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5%) as the “catch-up” provision. The catch-up is meant to provide OFS Advisor with 20.0% of thepre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this pre-incentive fee net investment income exceeds 2.5% in anycalendar quarter; and •20.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter. The second part of the incentive fee (the “Capital Gains Fee”) is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upontermination of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date) and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (a) the sumof our cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and our aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (b) our cumulative aggregate realized capitalgains. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the Capital Gains Fee for such year is equal to 20.0% of such amount, less the aggregate amountof Capital Gains Fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no Capital Gains Fee for such year. The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of eachinvestment in our portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment. The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in ourportfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment. The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment inour portfolio as of the applicable Capital Gains Fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment. Unrealized capitalappreciation is accrued, but not paid until said appreciation is realized. We accrue the Capital Gains Fee if, on a cumulative basis, the sum of net realized capital gains and (losses) plus net unrealized appreciation and(depreciation) is positive. OFS Advisor has elected to exclude from the Capital Gains Fee calculation any incentive fee that would be owed in respect of therealized gain on step acquisition resulting from the Tamarix Acquisitions. We incurred incentive fee expense of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. We did not incur any incentive fee expenses during 2013and 2012. License Agreement We have entered into a license agreement with OFSAM under which OFSAM has agreed to grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use thename “OFS.” Administration Agreement Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, OFS Services furnishes us with office facilities and equipment, necessary software licenses andsubscriptions and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, OFS Services performs, oroversees the performance of, our required administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial records that we are required to maintainand preparing reports to our shareholders and all other reports and materials required to be filed with the SEC or any other regulatory authority. In addition,OFS Services assists us in determining and publishing our net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of our tax returns and the printing anddissemination of reports to our shareholders, and generally oversees the payment of our expenses and the performance of administrative and professionalservices rendered to us by others. Under the Administration Agreement, OFS Services would provide managerial assistance on our behalf to certain portfoliocompanies that accept our offer to provide such assistance. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon our allocableportion (subject to the review and approval of our board of directors) of OFS Services’ overhead in performing its obligations under the AdministrationAgreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the cost of our officers, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief complianceofficer, chief accounting officer, and corporate secretary, and their respective staffs. The administrative fee is payable quarterly in arrears. For the years endedDecember 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of administrative fees. On June 30, 2014, OFS Services deferred the receipt of the first quarter of 2014 administrative fee in the amount of approximately $475 thousand,that would otherwise have been due from us by June 30, 2014, until further determination by OFS Services. In addition, on June 30, 2014, OFS Servicesdeferred the receipt of the second quarter of 2014 administrative fee in the amount of $285 thousand, that would otherwise have been due from us bySeptember 30, 2014, until further determination by OFS Services. The Administrator informed the Company that the deferral of the fee was made for thebenefit of the Company’s shareholders to take into account unforeseen delays in completing the Tamarix Acquisitions. On October 31, 2014, OFS Servicesinformed us that it would not further defer the receipt of the administrative fee for the first and second quarters of 2014. In addition, OFS Services informed usthat the administrative fee with respect to the third quarter of 2014 would not be deferred. We paid OFS Services the outstanding administrative fees for thefirst three quarters of 2014 in the aggregate amount of approximately $938 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2014. 69 Staffing Agreement OFS Advisor is an affiliate of OFSC, with which it has entered into a Staffing Agreement. Under this agreement OFSC will make available to OFSAdvisor experienced investment professionals and access to the senior investment personnel and other resources of OFSC and its affiliates. The StaffingAgreement should provide OFS Advisor with access to deal flow generated by the professionals of OFSC and its affiliates and commits the members of theAdvisor Investment Committee to serve in that capacity. OFS Advisor intends to capitalize on the significant deal origination and sourcing, creditunderwriting, due diligence, investment structuring, execution, portfolio management and monitoring experience of OFSC’s investment professionals. OFSC also has entered into a staffing and corporate services agreement with OFS Services. Under this agreement, OFS Services will make availableto OFSC experienced investment professionals and access to the administrative resources of OFS Services. Recent Developments On March 4, 2015, our Board declared a distribution of $0.34 per share for the first quarter of 2015, payable on March 31, 2015 to shareholders ofrecord as of March 17, 2015. In January 2015, we filed an application with the SBA for a second SBIC license, which, if approved, would provide up to $75.0 million inadditional SBA debentures for the funding of our future investments, upon our contribution of at least $37.5 million in additional regulatory capital andsubject to the issuance of a leverage commitment by the SBA and customary procedures. There can be no assurance as to whether or when this applicationwill be approved by the SBA. Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2014, 73% of our debt investments bore interest atfloating interest rates and 27% of our debt investments bore fixed interest rates. The interest rates on our debt investments bearing floating interest rates areusually based on a floating LIBOR, and the debt investments typically contain interest rate re-set provisions that adjust applicable interest rates to currentrates on a periodic basis. All of the debt investments bearing floating interest rates in our portfolio as of December 31, 2014 had interest rate floors, whichhave effectively converted those debt investments to fixed rate debt investments in the current interest rate environment. In addition, the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility has a floating interest rate provision, and we expect that other credit facilities into which we mayenter in the future may have floating interest rate provisions. Assuming that our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 were to remain constant, and that we took no actions to alter our existinginterest rate sensitivity, the following table shows the annualized impact of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates. Interest Interest Net increase Basis point increase(1) income expense (decrease) (Amounts in thousands) 100 $452 $(736) $(284)200 2,435 (1,472) 963 300 4,681 (2,209) 2,472 400 6,926 (2,945) 3,982 500 9,172 (3,681) 5,491 (1)A decline in interest rates would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Although we believe that the foregoing analysis is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in thecredit market, credit quality, size and composition of the assets in our portfolio, and other business developments, including borrowings under our creditfacility, that could affect net increase in net assets resulting from operations, or net income. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results wouldnot differ materially from the statement above. We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect both our cost of funding and thevaluation of our investment portfolio. Our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policiesand limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs. Ourinvestment portfolio and investment income may be affected by changes in various interest rates, including LIBOR and prime rates. 70 ITEM 8.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Index to Financial Statements OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms 72 Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 75 Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Period November 8, 2012 throughDecember 31, 2012, and the Period January 1, 2012 through November 7, 2012 76 Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Period November 8, 2012 throughDecember 31, 2012, and the Period January 1, 2012 through November 7, 2012 77 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Period November 8, 2012 throughDecember 31, 2012, and the Period January 1, 2012 through November 7, 2012 78 Consolidated Schedules of Investments as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 80 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 89 71 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and StockholdersOFS Capital CorporationChicago, Illinois We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of OFS Capital Corporation, the “Company”, including the consolidated scheduleof investments as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, cash flows, and financial highlights forthe year then ended. These consolidated financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Ourresponsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standardsrequire that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of materialmisstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our proceduresincluded confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian, loan agent, portfolio companies, and otherappropriate auditing procedures where replies were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimatesmade by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for ouropinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financialposition of OFS Capital Corporation at December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year thenended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), OFS CapitalCorporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 6, 2014 expressed anunqualified opinion thereon. /s/ BDO USA, LLP Chicago, IllinoisMarch 6, 2015 72 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and StockholdersOFS Capital CorporationChicago, Illinois We have audited OFS Capital Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). OFSCapital Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectivenessof internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Item 9A, Management’s Report 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 standardsrequire that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained inall material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weaknessexists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performingsuch 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 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financialreporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’sinternal 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 asnecessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of thecompany are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assuranceregarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on thefinancial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of anyevaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degreeof compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, OFS Capital Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,2014, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidatedbalance sheet of OFS Capital Corporation, including the consolidated schedule of investments as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidatedstatements of operations, changes in net assets, cash flows, and financial highlights for the year then ended, and our report dated March 6, 2015 expressed anunqualified opinion thereon. /s/ BDO USA, LLP Chicago, IllinoisMarch 6, 2015 73 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and ShareholdersOFS Capital Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), including theconsolidated schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flowsfor the year ended December 31, 2013, the period November 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the period January 1, 2012 through November 7, 2012.These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

An audit includesexamining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used andsignificant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation ofinvestments owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with custodian, loan agent or borrower. Our audit also involved performing such otherprocedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of OFS CapitalCorporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013, theperiod November 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012, the period January 1, 2012 through November 7, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally acceptedaccounting principles. /s/ McGladrey LLP Chicago, IllinoisMarch 17, 2014 74 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Consolidated Balance Sheets(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) December 31, 2014 2013 Assets Investments, at fair value Non-control/non-affiliate investments (cost of $258,004 and $201,209, respectively) $254,666 $197,338 Affiliate investments (cost of $55,569 and $32,618, respectively) 57,568 32,735 Control investment (cost of $0 and $9,596, respectively) -

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 88 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 1. Organization OFS Capital Corporation (“OFS Capital”, the “Company”, or “we”) is a Delaware corporation formed on November 7, 2012 and is an externally managed,closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Company has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) underthe Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes, the Company has elected to be treated as a regulatedinvestment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). From time to time, the term OFS Capital, the Company, or we may be used herein to refer to OFS Capital Corporation, individually, or OFS CapitalCorporation and/or its subsidiaries either collectively or individually, as well as, with respect to all periods prior to the initial public offering (“IPO”) date,OFS Capital, LLC. On November 7, 2012, the Company priced its IPO, selling 6,666,667 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $15 per share and raising$100,000 in gross proceeds. Immediately prior to the IPO, on November 7, 2012, OFS Capital, LLC converted from a limited liability company to acorporation, as a result of which the sole membership interest held in OFS Capital, LLC by Orchard First Source Asset Management, LLC (“OFSAM”) prior tothe conversion was exchanged for 2,912,024 shares of common stock in the Company. On September 28, 2010, OFS Capital, LLC became the 100% equity owner of OFS Capital WM, LLC (“OFS Capital WM”). On September 29, 2011, OFSCapital, LLC became the primary beneficiary in OFS SBIC I, LP (formerly known as Tamarix Capital Partners, L.P.; “SBIC I LP”), a variable interest entity(“VIE”) under the applicable provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidation”(“ASC Topic 810”). On May 10, 2012, upon SBIC I LP’s receipt of a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) license, OFS Capital, LLC became anapproximately 68% limited partner in SBIC I LP. On December 4, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining limited partnership interests in SBIC I LP (the“Tamarix LP Acquisition”), as well as the remaining membership interests in OFS SBIC I GP, LLC (formerly known as Tamarix Capital G.P. LLC, “SBIC IGP”), the general partner of SBIC I LP that holds 1% limited partnership interest in SBIC I LP (the “Tamarix GP Acquisition”) (the Tamarix LP Acquisitionand Tamarix GP Acquisition are collectively referred to as the “Tamarix Acquisitions”). As a result of the Tamarix Acquisitions, SBIC I LP and SBIC I GPbecame wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company effective December 4, 2013 (see Note 4 for more details). The Company’s investment strategy is to focus primarily on debt investments and, to a lesser extent, equity investments primarily in middle-marketcompanies in the United States. The Company has entered into an investment advisory and management agreement with OFS Capital Management, LLC(“OFS Capital Management”, or the “Investment Advisor”), under which the Investment Advisor manages the day-to-day operations of, and providesinvestment advisory services to, the Company (see Note 5 for more details). Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Election to become a Business Development Company: The results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 reflect the Company’sresults as a BDC under the 1940 Act, whereas the results of operations for 2012 are divided into two periods. The period from January 1, 2012 throughNovember 7, 2012, reflects the Company’s results prior to operating as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The period from November 8, 2012 through December 31,2012, reflects the Company’s results as a BDC under the 1940 Act. Accounting principles used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statementsbeginning November 8, 2012 are different from those of prior periods and, therefore, the financial position and results of operations for those periods are notdirectly comparable. The primary difference in accounting principles relates to the carrying value of debt and equity investments. On November 7, 2012, theCompany recorded a cumulative effect of accounting change of $348 as a result of its election to become a BDC, namely the effect of recording its equityinvestment in SBIC I LP at fair value. Also see corresponding section below for further information. Basis of presentation: The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accountingprinciples in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-K, ASC Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”), and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statementsreflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments except: (1) OFS Capital’s accounting treatment of the TamarixAcquisitions, as well as its consolidation of SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP, effective December 4, 2013 (see Note 4); (2) OFS Capital’s consolidation of thefinancial statements of OFS Capital WM effective March 30, 2012 (see Note 3); (3) the cumulative effect of accounting change to convert from cost to fairvalue accounting of SBIC I LP’s portfolio investments effective May 10, 2012 as a result of SBIC I LP’s receipt of the SBIC license and conversion to aninvestment company (see “Other cumulative effect of accounting change prior to SBIC I LP becoming an investment company” section below); (4)deconsolidation of the financial statements of SBIC I LP effective July 27, 2012 (see Note 4); and (5) cumulative effect of accounting change to convert to aBDC effective November 7, 2012 (see Election to become a Business Development Company above), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary tofairly state the operating results for the respective periods. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amountshave been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 89 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Principles of consolidation: The Company’s December 31, 2014 and 2013 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and itswholly owned subsidiaries, OFS Capital WM, OFS Funding, LLC, SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP. The Company consolidates an affiliated subsidiary if it ownsmore than 50 percent of the subsidiary’s equity and holds the controlling financial interest in such subsidiary. The Company also consolidates a VIE if it isthe primary beneficiary in the VIE. Effective March 30, 2012, the Company consolidated the financial statements of OFS Capital WM into its own (see Note3). Effective July 27, 2012, the Company deconsolidated the financial statements of SBIC I LP from its own (see Note 4). Effective December 4, 2013, theCompany consolidated the financial statements of SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP into its own (see Note 4). Other cumulative effect of accounting change prior to SBIC I LP becoming an investment company: Equity contributions made by potential investors inSBIC I LP prior to issuance of the SBIC license on May 10, 2012 were contingent upon receipt of the SBIC license, and were fully refundable in the eventthat SBIC I LP failed to obtain such license. As a result, prior to May 10, 2012, SBIC I LP was not deemed to be an investment company and accordingly,followed the same accounting principles as its primary beneficiary, OFS Capital, to account for its loans receivable at cost and its equity interests under thecost method of accounting on the consolidated financial statements of OFS Capital. On May 10, 2012, upon receipt of the SBIC license, SBIC I LP wasdeemed to be an investment company under ASC Topic 946, and began reporting its investment assets at fair value. Accordingly, effective May 10, 2012,SBIC I LP changed its accounting principle from cost to fair value for measuring its portfolio investments, and recorded a cumulative effect of thisaccounting change in the amount of $570 to reflect the difference between the fair value and cost basis of its portfolio investments at May 10, 2012. The cumulative effect of the accounting change at May 10, 2012 reflects the effect of SBIC I LP’s conversion to an investment company as follows: Cumulative Effect of Conversion to an Investment Company Effect of recording loans at fair value$211 Effect of recording equity investments at fair value 140 Elimination of allowance for loan losses 219 $570 Fair value of financial instruments: The Company applies fair value to substantially all of its financial instruments in accordance with AccountingStandards Codification Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes aframework used to measure fair value and requires disclosures for fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company has categorizedits financial instruments carried at fair value, based on the priority of the valuation technique, into a three level fair value hierarchy. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of the market participant that holds the financial instrument rather than an entity specific measure. Therefore,when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions reflect those that management believes market participants would use inpricing the financial instrument at the measurement date. The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, thetype of product, whether the product is new, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, and the current marketconditions. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fairvalue requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for financial instrumentsclassified as Level 3 (i.e., those instruments valued using non-observable inputs). Changes to the valuation policy are reviewed by management and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to confirm that the changes are justified.As markets change, new products develop and the pricing for products becomes more or less transparent, the Company will continue to refine its valuationmethodologies. See Note 7 for more detailed disclosures of the Company’s fair value measurements of its financial instruments. Investment classification: The Company classifies its investments in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, “ControlInvestments” are defined as investments in those companies where the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of such company or has rightsto maintain greater than 50% of the board representation. Under the 1940 Act, “Affiliate Investments” are defined as investments in those companies wherethe Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities of such company. “Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that neither qualify asControl Investments nor Affiliate Investments. 90 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Investment risks: The Company’s investments are subject to a variety of risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to the following: Market risk - Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the fair value of the financial instrument due to market changes. Credit risk - Credit risk represents the risk that the Company would incur if the counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the terms of their agreements withthe Company. Liquidity risk - Liquidity risk represents the possibility that the Company may not be able to rapidly adjust the size of its positions in times of high volatilityand financial stress at a reasonable price. Interest rate risk - Interest rate risk represents the likelihood that a change in interest rates could have an adverse impact on the fair value of an interest-bearing financial instrument. Prepayment risk - Many of the Company’s debt investments allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Downward changes in interest rates maycause prepayments to occur at a faster than expected rate, thereby effectively shortening the maturity of the debt investments and making the instrument lesslikely to be an income producing instrument. Off-Balance sheet risk - Some of the Company’s financial instruments contain off-balance sheet risk. Generally, these financial instruments represent futurecommitments to purchase other financial instruments at specific terms at specific future dates. Use of estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidatedfinancial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could significantly differ from thoseestimates. Reportable segments: In accordance with segment guidance set by Accounting Standards Codification 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC Topic 280”), theCompany has determined that it has a single reportable segment and single operating segment structure. Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments not held for resale with original maturities at the time ofacquisition of three months or less. The Company places its cash in financial institutions and at times, such balances may be in excess of the Federal DepositInsurance Corporation insurance limits. Restricted cash and cash equivalents: Prior to August 2014, restricted cash and cash equivalents represented amounts maintained in the Unfunded ExposureAccount of OFS Capital WM as defined by the Loan Sale Agreement and other applicable transaction documents and were subject to the lien of the trusteefor the benefit of the secured parties of OFS Capital WM. Proceeds in the Unfunded Exposure Account, along with advances under the OFS Capital WMCredit Facility (see Note 9), were utilized to fund a debt investment owned by OFS Capital WM that had an unfunded revolving commitment. In August2014, as a result of the payoff of this loan, the Company’s restricted cash and cash equivalents balance was reduced to zero. Revenue recognition: Interest Income: Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual interest terms of the debt investments. Recognizedinterest income, if payable monthly or quarterly, is reflected as interest receivable until collected. Recognized interest income that is instead added to theprincipal balance and generally becomes due at maturity or at some other stipulated date (“PIK interest”) is reflected in the investment account. TheCompany accrues interest income until certain events take place, which may place a loan into a non-accrual status (see below). The Company will not accruePIK interest if the portfolio company valuation indicates that the PIK interest is not collectible. Loan origination fees, original issue discount (“OID”), marketdiscount or premium, and loan amendment fees (collectively, “net loan origination fees”) are capitalized, and the Company accretes or amortizes suchamounts on a straight-line basis over the life of the loan as additional interest income. When the Company receives a loan principal payment, the OID relatedto the paid principal is accelerated and recognized in interest income. This method is not materially different than the effective interest rate method.Unamortized OID is reflected in the investment account and unamortized loan amendment fees are reflected as deferred loan fee revenue. All other interestincome is recorded into income when earned. Further, in connection with the Company’s debt investments, the Company will sometimes receive warrants orsimilar no cost equity-related securities (“Warrants”). The Company determines the cost basis of Warrants based upon their respective fair values on the dateof receipt in proportion to the total fair value of the debt and Warrants received. Any resulting difference between the face amount of the debt and its recordedfair value resulting from the assignment of value to the Warrants is treated as OID, and accreted into interest income as described above. 91 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, unamortized discounts and origination fees on debt investments amounted to $3,706 and $3,098, respectively. For theyears ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the period from November 8, 2012 to December 31, 2012, and the period from January 1, 2012 to November 7,2012, the Company recognized net loan origination fee income of $1,459, $1,481, $185, and $861, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and2013, the period from November 8, 2012 to December 31, 2012, and the period from January 1, 2012 to November 7, 2012, the Company recognized PIKinterest income in the amount of $664, $37, $0 and $193, respectively. To maintain its status as a RIC, the Company includes non-cash interest income (andnon-cash dividend income described below) in the amounts that must be paid out to its shareholders in the form of distributions. Dividend Income: Dividend income on common stock, generally payable in cash, is recorded at the time dividends are declared or at the point an obligationexists for the portfolio company to make a distribution supported by tax-basis earnings and profits. Dividend income on preferred equity is accrued as earned.Such dividends on preferred equity securities could be payable in cash or in additional preferred securities and are generally not payable unless declared orupon liquidation. Declared dividends payable in cash are reflected as dividend receivables until collected. Dividends payable in additional preferredsecurities or contractually earned but not declared are reflected in the investment account. The Company stops accruing dividends on its preferred equitysecurities when it is determined that the dividend is not collectible. The Company assesses the collectability of the dividends based on factors including thefair value of the preferred equity security as well as the valuation of the portfolio company’s enterprise value. During the year ended December 31, 2014, theCompany recognized preferred dividend income of $570, of which $445 was contractually earned but not declared. For the year ended December 31, 2013,the period from November 8, 2012 to December 31, 2012, and the period from January 1, 2012 to November 7, 2012, the Company recognized preferreddividend income of $8, $0, and $69, respectively. In addition, the Company did not recognize any common stock dividend income during 2014, 2013 and2012. Fee Income: The Company may generate revenue in the form of commitment, structuring or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance andconsulting fees. Such revenue is recognized as the related services are rendered and amounted to $914, $135, $0, and $37, for the years ended December 31,2014 and 2013, the period from November 8, 2012 to December 31, 2012, and the period from January 1, 2012 to November 7, 2012, respectively. Other Income: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses on investments are measured by the differencebetween the net proceeds from the disposition and the cost basis of the investment, without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized.Distribution of earnings from portfolio companies are evaluated to determine if the distribution is income or return of capital. Investments are recorded at fair value. The Company’s Board determines the fair value of its portfolio investments. After recording all appropriate interest anddividend income, some of which is reflected in the investment account as described above, the Company reports changes in fair value of investments that aremeasured at fair value as a component of the net changes in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in the consolidated statements ofoperations. Non-accrual loans: Loans on which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued are designated as non-accrual loans, and non-accrual loans arefurther designated to be accounted for under either a non-accrual cash method or a non-accrual cost recovery method. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when a loan either: (i) is delinquent for 90 days or more on principal or interest based on contractual terms of the loan (unless well secured andin the process of collection), or (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s management, there is reasonable doubt about the collectability. When loans are placedon non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected, other than PIK interest that has already been contractually added to the principalbalance, is reversed against current period interest income. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied toprincipal depending upon management’s judgment. Interest accruals are resumed on non-accrual loans only when they are brought current with respect tointerest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to all principal and interest. The Companyhad one non-accrual loan at December 31, 2014 and 2013, which was accounted for as of December 31, 2014 as a non-accrual cash method loan. The loanhad an aggregate fair value of $801 and $1,051 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Income taxes: The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the taxtreatment applicable to RICs. In order to qualify as a RIC, among other things, the Company is required to meet certain source of income and assetdiversification requirements and timely distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for eachyear. The Company has made, and intends to continue to make, the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will generally relieve the Company fromU.S. federal income taxes with respect to all income distributed to its shareholders. 92 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to retain taxable income in excess of current year dividenddistributions into the next tax year in an amount less than what would trigger payments of federal income tax under Subchapter M of the Code. The Companywould then pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines its estimated current year annual taxable incomemay exceed estimated current year dividend distributions, the Company accrues excise tax on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned.At December 31, 2014 and 2013, no U.S. federal excise tax was accrued. The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in financial statements. ASC Topic 740 requiresthe evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not”to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a taxexpense in the current year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense.There were no material uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The current and prior three tax years remain subject to examinationby U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. Prior to the Company’s election to become a BDC, the Company, as a limited liability company, did not record a provision for federal income taxes ordeferred tax benefits because its income was taxable to its members. Therefore, no federal or state income tax provision had been recorded for the period fromJanuary 1, 2012 to November 7, 2012. Dividends and distributions: Dividends and distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the declaration date. The timing of dividends anddistributions as well as the amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is determined by the Board each quarter and is generally based upon theearnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain suchcapital gains for investment. Dividends paid in excess of net investment income and realized gains are considered returns of capital to shareholders. The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalfof its shareholders, unless a shareholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Board authorizes and the Company declares a cash distribution, thenshareholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s commonstock, rather than receiving the cash dividend or distribution. The Company may use newly issued shares under the guidelines of the DRIP, or the Company may purchase shares in the open market in connection with itsobligations under the plan. Deferred common stock offering costs: The Company defers costs related to its public offerings, including costs incurred in connection with the filing ofshelf registration statements which allow for a delayed public offering. These costs include professional fees, registration costs, printing, and othermiscellaneous offering costs. Deferred common stock offering costs related to a specific equity raise are charged against the proceeds from that equity raisewhen received. The Company incurred total deferred offering costs of $5,795 related to its IPO, which was charged against gross proceeds from the IPO onNovember 7, 2012. Deferred offering costs related to a continuous offering are ratably charged to paid-in capital as securities are sold under the shelfregistration statement. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had incurred $297 of deferred common stock offering costs related to a universal shelfregistration statement filed on November 19, 2014, which was declared effective on December 30, 2014 and replaced a previously filed shelf registrationstatement (filed on June 12, 2014 and declared effective on August 7, 2014). All of these deferred costs are included in prepaid expenses and other assets onthe consolidated balance sheets as no equity was raised under the registration statement as of December 31, 2014. Deferred financing closing costs: Deferred financing closing costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with theCompany’s borrowings. These amounts are amortized over the estimated average life of the borrowings. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, unamortizeddeferred financing closing costs recorded by the Company amounted to $4,972 and $3,043, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013,the period from November 8, 2012 to December 31, 2012, and the period from April 1, 2012 to November 7, 2012, the Company recorded amortization andwrite-off of deferred financing closing costs in the amount of $1,354, $965, $127 and $345, respectively. Equity interests received prior to the Company’s election to become a BDC: For the three months ended March 31, 2012, under the equity method ofaccounting, the Company’s 100% share of the net income or loss of OFS Capital WM was included in “Income from equity interest in OFS Capital WM” inthe consolidated statements of operations. Commencing with the execution of the WM 2012 Loan Amendment, effective April 1, 2012, OFS Capitalconsolidated the financial statements of OFS Capital WM into its own (see Note 3). 93 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) In September and November 2011, in connection with its loan originations, SBIC I LP received a 14.9% LLC membership interest in one borrower and a19.8% preferred stock ownership interest in another borrower which were valued at $500 and $1,955, respectively, at the date of the respective loanorigination. The Company applied the cost method of accounting to these equity interests until May 10, 2012, when SBIC I LP became an investmentcompany and adopted fair value accounting on its portfolio investments. Effective July 27, 2012, the Company deconsolidated the financial statements of SBIC I LP from its own, and adopted the equity method of accounting toaccount for its investment in SBIC I LP (see Note 4) through November 7, 2012. Accordingly, commencing July 27, 2012 and through November 7, 2012, theCompany’s share of the net income or loss of SBIC I LP was included in “Income from equity interest in SBIC I LP” in the consolidated statement ofoperations under the equity method of accounting. Commencing November 8, 2012, upon the Company’s election to become a BDC, through December 4,2013, the date of the Tamarix Acquisitions, the Company accounted for its equity investment in SBIC I LP at fair value. Effective December 4, 2013, as aresult of the Tamarix Acquisitions, the Company consolidated SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP into its own financial statements. Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value amounts assigned to assets and liabilities assumedin the business combination. On December 4, 2013, in connection with the Tamarix Acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $1,077(see Note 4). Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least annually and can be tested more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that may reduce the fairvalue of a reporting unit below its carrying value. ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwilland Other”, states that an entity may first elect to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill (“Step -0-”; or “qualitative assessment”). If based on theresults of Step -0-, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an entity must proceed to the quantitativetwo-step analysis. An entity may also elect to bypass Step -0- and proceed directly to the quantitative two-step analysis. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is a two-step analysis. First, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its book value (“Step-one”). If thefair value of the reporting unit is less than its book value, the entity then performs a hypothetical purchase price allocation based on the reporting unit’s fairvalue to determine the reporting unit’s implied goodwill (“Step-two”). Goodwill impairment exists in Step-two when the implied fair value of goodwill is lessthan the carrying value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined based on the difference between the fair value of the reporting unitdetermined in Step-one and the fair value allocated to the identifiable assets, including unrecognized intangible assets, and liabilities of the reporting unit. As of October 1, 2014, the Company performed a Step -0- assessment of goodwill and determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of theCompany’s single reporting unit was less than its carrying value. As a result, the Company did not proceed to the quantitative two-step analysis, andconcluded that goodwill was not impaired. A significant amount of judgment is required in performing goodwill impairment analysis. When using the qualitative approach, the Company consideredmacroeconomic factors such as industry and market conditions, reporting unit-specific events, actual financial performance, and management's futurebusiness expectations. In addition, the Company analyzes the difference between the carrying value of its single reporting unit, which includes most of itsassets carried at fair value (see Note 7), and the Company’s total market capitalization taking into account certain factors including control premium. Intangible asset: On December 4, 2013, in connection with the Tamarix Acquisitions, the Company recorded an intangible asset attributable to the SBIClicense that SBIC I LP holds in the amount of $2,500. The Company is amortizing this intangible asset over its estimated useful life, which was determined tobe approximately 13 years. The Company expects annual amortization expense of its intangible asset to be $195 for each of the five years ending December31, 2019 and $1,316 thereafter. The Company tests its intangible asset for impairment if events or circumstances suggest that the asset carrying value may not be fully recoverable. For theyear ended December 31, 2014, the Company did not recognize any impairment charge for its intangible asset. Interest expense: Interest expense is recognized on the accrual basis. 94 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Concentration of credit risk: Aside from its debt instruments, financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit riskconsist principally of cash deposits at financial institutions. At various times during the year, the Company may exceed the federally insured limits. Tomitigate this risk, the Company places cash deposits only with high credit quality institutions. Management believes the risk of loss is minimal. Recent accounting pronouncements: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), whichsupersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goodsor services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenuerecognition process than are required under existing GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interimperiods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each priorreporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pendingadoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in2017. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance regarding management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continueas a going concern and if such doubt exists, requires specific disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and isnot expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (“ASU 2015-01”). ASU 2015-01 eliminates theconcept, and related presentation and disclosure requirements, of an extraordinary item. The presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusualin nature or occur infrequently will be retained and will be expanded to include those items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. ASU2015-01 is effective beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied retrospectively. ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a significant impact on theCompany’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 modifiesexisting consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires either a retrospective or a modifiedretrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on itsconsolidated financial statements, as well as the available transition methods. Note 3. OFS Capital WM On September 28, 2010, OFS Capital entered into a Loan Sale Agreement with OFS Capital WM, pursuant to which OFS Capital transferred eligible loans orits 100% participating interest in certain loans as defined by the agreement with $96,906 in principal to OFS Capital WM in exchange for cash of $36,255and a 100% ownership interest in OFS Capital WM (“OFS Capital WM Transaction”). OFS Capital WM is a wholly owned subsidiary of OFS Capital formed in August 2010 with the limited purpose of holding, acquiring, managing andfinancing senior secured loan investments to middle-market companies in the United States. Prior to March 30, 2012, the Company determined that OFSCapital WM was a VIE of OFS Capital under the applicable provisions of ASC Topic 810. OFS Capital, as the owner of 100% of the equity of OFS CapitalWM, has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits, either of which could be significant to the VIE. However, prior to March 30, 2012,despite its 100% equity interest in OFS Capital WM, OFS Capital was not the primary beneficiary of OFS Capital WM as OFS Capital lacked the power,through voting interests or similar rights, to direct the activities of OFS Capital WM that most significantly impact its economic performance. The Companyhad concluded that MCF Capital Management, LLC (the “Loan Manager”) was the primary beneficiary of OFS Capital WM, because (1) under the terms ofthe loan facility of OFS Capital WM, the Loan Manager had the sole authority to service, administer and exercise rights and remedies in respect of the assetsin OFS Capital WM’s portfolio; (2) the Loan Manager had the sole authority to determine whether to cause assets to be sold or acquired by OFS Capital WM,subject to certain limited circumstances where the Company had consent rights, as administrative manager of OFS Capital WM; (3) OFS Capital, as theadministrative manager of OFS Capital WM, carried out duties of OFS Capital WM primarily limited to administrative matters, and (4) for its service, theLoan Manager receives a fee. The Company had determined the Loan Manager’s right to receive a loan management fee from OFS Capital WM, the interestof its related party in the Class B loans of OFS Capital WM, and the implicit financial responsibility of the Loan Manager to ensure the VIE operates asdesigned were significant to OFS Capital WM. Since the Loan Manager was the primary beneficiary of OFS Capital WM, prior to March 30, 2012, theCompany did not consolidate the financial statements of OFS Capital WM but instead accounted for its ownership interest under the equity method ofaccounting. 95 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 3. OFS Capital WM (Continued) Through March 30, 2012, OFS Capital WM’s loan portfolio was essentially fully funded, which makes future management activities a critical component toensure satisfactory credit quality and profitability of OFS Capital WM’s loan portfolio. Effective March 30, 2012, OFS Capital entered into an agreementwith OFS Capital WM and the Loan Manager to amend the credit facility of OFS Capital WM (”WM 2012 Loan Amendment”), as a result of which,(1) instead of the Loan Manager having the sole authority to determine actions on any proposed amendment, modification, restructuring, and waiver of loans,the Loan Manager is required to consult with OFS Capital before taking any such actions with a borrower; (2) instead of the Loan Manager having the soleauthority to call or waive any default with respect to any loan, the Loan Manager is required to consult with OFS Capital before taking any such actions witha borrower, and (3) instead of the Loan Manager having the sole authority to vote to accelerate the maturity of any loan, the Loan Manager is required toconsult with OFS Capital before taking any such actions with a borrower. If OFS Capital indicates in writing that it is dissatisfied with any actions in respectof the foregoing ultimately taken by the Loan Manager, pursuant to the WM 2012 Loan Amendment, the Loan Manager may pursue the course of actionwhich it has recommended; however, the Loan Manager will also be obligated to promptly engage a third party broker/dealer to sell the loan in question,with OFS Capital possessing the sole right to negotiate and approve the terms of any such sale transaction (including price), as well as the sole right toterminate any loan sale discussions and to block any prospective loan sale. In consideration for the rights received as a result of the WM 2012 LoanAmendment, OFS Capital agreed to give up a right of first refusal that it possessed with respect to future transactions substantially similar to the OFS CapitalWM Transaction that the Loan Manager and/or its affiliates may seek to conduct with third parties. The WM 2012 Loan Amendment granted OFS Capital significant participating rights. Additionally, owing to: (1) the significant repayment sinceSeptember 28, 2010 of the preponderant portion of the loans transferred to OFS Capital WM on that date and over which OFS Capital did not have the rightto consent to, or withhold consent from, loan purchase or sale recommendations made by the Loan Manager, as well as (2) the nearly full ramping andfunding of OFS Capital WM’s loan portfolio as of March 2012, OFS Capital now has the right to consent to, or withhold consent from, purchase or salerecommendations made by the Loan Manager with respect to a very high percentage of loans in the OFS Capital WM loan portfolio. Therefore, effectiveMarch 30, 2012, OFS Capital possessed the power to direct the activities of OFS Capital WM that most significantly impact OFS Capital WM’s economicperformance. This resulted in OFS Capital succeeding to the controlling financial interest in OFS Capital WM, OFS Capital WM’s discontinuation as a VIE,and OFS Capital’s consolidation of OFS Capital WM, effective March 30, 2012. 96 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 3.

SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP SBIC I LP is a Delaware limited partnership formed in January 2010, which commenced operations in September 2011. SBIC I LP applied for an SBIC licensefrom the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) in order to become an SBIC regulated fund under the Small Business Investment Company Act of 1958 (the“SBIC Act”). On May 10, 2012, SBIC I LP received the SBIC license. The objective of SBIC I LP is to generate attractive returns for investors by making investments in United States-based, middle market companies. Theseinvestments typically will be comprised of debt-related securities, potentially with warrant coverage. The term of SBIC I LP runs through the later of March2022 or two years after all of SBIC I LP’s Outstanding Leverage (as defined in the limited partnership agreement of SBIC I LP) has matured. Pursuant to thelimited partnership agreement of SBIC I LP and the SBIC Act, a limited partner may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, subdivide for resale or otherwise disposeof all or any part of its interest in SBIC I LP without the prior written consent of SBIC I GP, the granting or denying of which consent will be in SBIC I GP’ssole and absolute discretion. In addition, a limited partner may not transfer any interest of ten percent or more in the capital of SBIC I LP without the priorapproval of the SBA. In September and November 2011, OFS Capital lent an aggregate of $16,750 to SBIC I LP, which SBIC I LP utilized to originate loans and acquire equityinterests in its underlying portfolio companies. From September 2011 through May 10, 2012, SBIC I LP was deemed to be a VIE of OFS Capital under ASCTopic 810, in which OFS Capital was deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, SBIC I LP’s financial statements were consolidated into OFSCapital’s during such period. Effective May 10, 2012, upon its licensure as an SBIC fund, SBIC I LP was no longer a VIE, but instead a limited partnershipguided under ASC Topic 810. Since OFS Capital continued to hold the controlling interest in SBIC I LP, it continued to consolidate the financial statementsof SBIC I LP until July 2012. On July 27, 2012, SBIC I LP repaid its loans due to OFS Capital, utilizing the leverage draw from the SBA. Also effective July 27, 2012, the employeesdirecting activities of SBIC I LP (“SBIC Individuals”) resigned as employees from an affiliated entity of OFS Capital. As a result, OFS Capital was no longerdeemed to hold the controlling interest in SBIC I LP. Instead, SBIC I GP, as the general partner of SBIC I LP controlled by the SBIC Individuals, obtained thecontrolling interest in SBIC I LP from OFS Capital. Since OFS Capital no longer held the controlling interest in SBIC I LP, effective July 27, 2012, OFSCapital deconsolidated SBIC I LP’s financial statements from its own and adopted the equity method of accounting to record its equity investment in SBIC ILP. From November 8, 2012, as a result of the Company’s election to become a BDC, through the Tamarix Acquisitions date of December 4, 2013, theCompany accounted for its equity investment in SBIC I LP at fair value. Tamarix Acquisitions On December 4, 2013, the Company acquired all of the limited partnership interests in SBIC I LP, as well as all of the membership interest in SBIC I GP, thatit did not already own, which resulted in SBIC I LP becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company paid cash of $8,110 for the TamarixAcquisitions, consisting of $7,951 for the Tamarix LP Acquisition and $159 for the Tamarix GP Acquisition. In connection with the Tamarix Acquisitions,on December 5, 2013, the SBIC Individuals were reemployed by the affiliated entity of OFS Capital, and Tamarix Associates, LLC (“Tamarix Associates”)was terminated as the investment manager of SBIC I LP. Upon the closing of the Tamarix Acquisitions, the Company increased its capital commitment toSBIC I LP, both directly and through SBIC I GP, to $75,000. The Tamarix Acquisitions were accounted for as a step acquisition in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations”(“ASC Topic 805”), under which the Company first remeasured its previously held equity interest in SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP at fair value at December 4,2013 and recognized the resulting $2,742 gain in earnings. The Company secondly accounted for the excess of the fair value of its previously held equityinterest plus acquisition price over the fair value of the total net assets of SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP, totaling $1,077, as goodwill. In connection with the Tamarix Acquisitions, the Company identified an intangible asset attributable to SBIC I LP’s SBIC license with a fair value of $2,500.In addition, the goodwill recognized on this transaction was attributable to the control OFS Capital obtained upon the Tamarix Acquisitions, which alsoenabled the Company to consolidate the financial statements of SBIC I LP and SBIC I GP into its own effective December 4, 2013. For tax purposes, OFSCapital amortizes the goodwill over a period of 15 years. 98 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 4.

Related Party Transactions Investment Advisory and Management Agreement: On November 7, 2012, OFS Capital entered into an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement(“Advisory Agreement”) with OFS Capital Management, the Company’s Investment Advisor, under which the Investment Advisor manages the day-to-dayoperations of, and provides investment advisory services to, OFS Capital. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement and subject to the overall supervisionof our Board, the Investment Advisor is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting research and diligence on potential investments andequity sponsors, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. TheInvestment Advisor is a subsidiary of OFSAM and a registered investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Investment Advisor’s services under the Advisory Agreement are not exclusive to the Company and the Investment Advisor is free to furnish similarservices to other entities so long as its services to the Company are not impaired. The Investment Advisor receives fees for providing services, consisting oftwo components—a base management fee and an incentive fee. From the completion of the Company’s IPO through October 31, 2013, the base managementfee was calculated at an annual rate of 0.875% based on the average value of the Company’s total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but includingassets purchased with borrowed amounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity) at the end of the two most recently completed calendarquarters. Beginning on November 1, 2013 and through March 31, 2014, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the base management fee was calculated at anannual rate of 1.75% based on the average value of the Company’s total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased withborrowed amounts and including assets owned by any consolidated entity) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, adjusted for anyshare issuances or repurchases during the quarter. The Investment Advisor has elected to exclude from the base management fee calculation any basemanagement fee that would be owed in respect of the intangible asset and goodwill resulting from the Tamarix Acquisitions. 100 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 5. Related Party Transactions (Continued) On May 5, 2014, the Investment Advisor agreed to reduce its base management fee by two-thirds for the nine months commencing April 1, 2014 and endingDecember 31, 2014. Specifically, for the second, third, and fourth quarters of fiscal 2014, the Investment Advisor reduced its base management fee from0.4375% per quarter to 0.145833% per quarter of the average value of the Company’s total assets (other than cash, cash equivalents, and the intangible assetand goodwill resulting from the Tamarix Acquisitions, but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts and including assets owned by anyconsolidated entity) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The purpose of this was to reduce the effective annual base managementfee payable to the Investment Advisor pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement by 50% for the 2014 fiscal year. Accordingly, the effective annualbase management fee for the 2014 fiscal year was equal to 50% of the 1.75% required by the Advisory Agreement with the Investment Advisor, or not greaterthan 0.875%. The Investment Advisor informed the Company that this reduction was made for the benefit of the Company’s shareholders to take into accountunforeseen delays in completing the Tamarix Acquisitions. The base management fee resumed to its 1.75% annual rate on January 1, 2015. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the period from November 8, 2012 toDecember 31, 2012, the base management fee expense was $2,184, $2,374, and $286, respectively. The incentive fee has two parts. The first part is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment incomefor the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and anyother income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence andconsulting fees or other fees received from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including thebase management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below), and any interest expense and any dividends paid on anyissued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with adeferred interest feature (such as OID, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet receivedin cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income is expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness andbefore taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The incentive fee withrespect to the pre-incentive fee net income is 20.0% of the amount, if any, by which the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediatelypreceding calendar quarter exceeds a 2.0% (which is 8.0% annualized) hurdle rate and a “catch-up” provision measured as of the end of each calendar quarter.Under this provision, in any calendar quarter, the Investment Advisor receives no incentive fee until the net investment income equals the hurdle rate of2.0%, but then receives, as a “catch-up,” 100.0% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee netinvestment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.5%. The effect of this provision is that, if pre-incentive fee net investment incomeexceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter, the Investment Advisor will receive 20.0% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.Because of the structure of the incentive fee, it is possible that the Company may pay an incentive fee in a quarter in which the Company incurs a loss. Forexample, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the quarterly minimum hurdle rate, the Company will pay theapplicable incentive fee even if the Company has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and unrealized capital losses. The Company’s net investmentincome used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the amount of the Company’s gross assets used to calculate the base managementfee. These calculations are appropriately prorated for any period of less than three months and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during suchquarter. The second part of the incentive fee (the “Capital Gain Fee”) is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination ofthe Advisory Agreement, as of the termination date), commencing on December 31, 2012, and equals 20.0% of the Company’s aggregate realized capitalgains, if any, on a cumulative basis from the date of the election to be a BDC through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capitallosses and unrealized capital depreciation through the end of such year, less all previous amounts paid in respect of the capital gain incentive fee; providedthat the incentive fee determined as of December 31, 2012 was calculated for a period of shorter than twelve calendar months to take into account anyrealized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation for the period beginning on the date of the Company’selection to be a BDC and ending December 31, 2012. 101 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 5. Related Party Transactions (Continued) The Company accrues the Capital Gain Fee if, on a cumulative basis, the sum of net realized capital gains and (losses) plus net unrealized appreciation and(depreciation) is positive. The Investment Advisor has elected to exclude from the Capital Gain Fee calculation any incentive fee that would be owed inrespect of the realized gain on step acquisitions resulting from the Tamarix Acquisitions. The Company incurred incentive fee expense of $1,253 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company did not incur any incentive fee expense during2013 and 2012. Prior to the Company’s election to become a BDC, the Investment Advisor served as its advisor effective September 28, 2010, under an Investment AdvisoryAgreement pursuant to which OFS Capital paid an annual base management fee to the Investment Advisor to compensate for its investment advisory services.The base management fee was calculated initially at 2% per annum of the Company’s average total assets (excluding cash) at the end of the two most recentlycompleted calendar quarters and was amended on March 30, 2012, pursuant to which OFS Capital paid a base management fee of 2% per annum on itsaverage total assets excluding cash and the assets held by OFS Capital WM. For the assets held by OFS Capital WM at the subsidiary level, OFS Capital paida base management fee of 0.5% per annum on the average total assets (excluding cash) of OFS Capital WM. For the period January 1, 2012 throughNovember 7, 2012, the Company incurred management fee expense to its investment advisor of $1,168. Administration Agreement: On November 7, 2012, OFS Capital entered into an administration agreement (“Administration Agreement”) with OFS CapitalServices, LLC (“OFS Capital Services” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFSAM. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, theAdministrator furnishes the Company with office facilities and equipment, necessary software licenses and subscriptions and clerical, bookkeeping andrecord keeping services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company’srequired administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports toits shareholders and all other reports and materials required to be filed with the SEC or any other regulatory authority. In addition, the Administrator assiststhe Company in determining and publishing its net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of its tax returns and the printing and dissemination ofreports to its shareholders, and generally oversees the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional servicesrendered to the Company by others. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator also provides managerial assistance on the Company’s behalf tothose portfolio companies that have accepted the Company’s offer to provide such assistance. Payment under the Administration Agreement is equal to anamount based upon the Company’s allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement,including rent and the Company’s allocable portion of the cost of its officers, including its chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief complianceofficer, chief accounting officer, and their respective staffs. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the period November 8, 2012 throughDecember 31, 2012, the Company incurred an administration fee expense of $1,245, $938 and $110, respectively. Other Related Party Transactions: Due from OFS Capital Management As of December 31, 2013, OFS Capital Management owed $218 to the Company, as a result of allocation by the Company of a portion of the D&O/E&Oinsurance expenses to the Investment Advisor under certain joint insurance policies between the two entities. Subsequently, in January 2014, the InvestmentAdvisor paid the $218 owed to the Company. Distributions from OFS Capital WM In January 2012, OFS Capital received a cash distribution from OFS Capital WM in the amount of $1,225. Sale of Debt Investments by OFS Capital WM In May 2012, OFS Capital WM sold a debt investment to OFS Funding I, LLC (“OFS Funding I”), a wholly owned subsidiary of OFSAM, for cash proceeds of$4,157. The debt investment had a carrying value of $4,095 and a fair value of $2,930, respectively, on the date of the sale. OFS Capital WM recognized arealized loss of $1,165 from the sale for the difference between the carrying and fair value of the debt investment on the date of sale. In addition, OFS Capitalrecorded an equity contribution of $1,227 from its parent to account for the difference between the fair value of the debt investment sold and cash proceedsreceived by OFS Capital WM from OFS Funding I. 102 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 5. Related Party Transactions (Continued) In September 2012, OFS Capital WM sold a debt investment to OFS Funding I for $792. The debt investment had a carrying value of $884. OFS Capital WMrecognized a realized loss of $92 on the sale. Management Fees – Other Related Party From March 2012 through December 4, 2013, SBIC I LP incurred a management fee to Tamarix Associates, the former investment manager of SBIC I LP, at aper annum rate of 2.0% of the sum of SBIC I LP’s (1) unreduced regulatory capital as defined under the SBIC Act plus (2) the assumed leverage from the SBAequal to two times SBIC I LP’s unreduced regulatory capital. Prior to the deconsolidation of SBIC I LP, for the period January 1, 2012 through July 27, 2012,OFS Capital recorded management fee expense in the amount of $627 on its consolidated statement of operations. The investment management agreement between SBIC I LP and Tamarix Associates was terminated on December 4, 2013. Note 6.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company follows ASC Topic 820 for measuring fair value. Prior to the Company’s election to become a BDC, the Company also followed the guidancein ASC Topic 820 in disclosing the fair value reported for all financial instruments that were either impaired or available for sale securities, using thedefinitions provided in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities” (“ASC Topic 320”). Fair value is the pricethat would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and sets outa fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and thelowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Inputs are broadly defined under ASC Topic 820 as assumptions market participants would use in pricing anasset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820 are described below: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurementdate. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and fair value is determinedthrough the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Theinputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information under the circumstances and may require significant management judgment orestimation. 104 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within thefair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of aparticular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. The Company assesses the levels of the investments at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the subsequent measurementdate closest in time to the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers among Level 1, 2 and 3 for theyears ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the period from November 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period from January 1, 2012 throughNovember 7, 2012. The following sections describe the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure different financial instruments at fair valueand include the levels within the fair value hierarchy in which the financial instruments are categorized. Investments for which prices are not observable by the Company are generally private investments in the debt and equity securities of operating companies.The primary analytical method used to estimate the fair value of these Level 3 investments is the discounted cash flow method (although a liquidationanalysis, option theoretical, or other methodology may be used when more appropriate). The discounted cash flow approach to determine fair value (or arange of fair values) involves applying an appropriate discount rate(s) to the estimated future cash flows using various relevant factors depending oninvestment type, including comparing the latest arm’s length or market transactions involving the subject security to the selected benchmark credit spread,assumed growth rate (in cash flows), and capitalization rates/multiples (for determining terminal values of underlying portfolio companies). The valuationbased on the inputs determined to be the most reasonable and probable is used as the fair value of the investment. The determination of fair value using thesemethodologies may take into consideration a range of factors including, but not limited to, the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of theinvestment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, financingtransactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment and anticipated financing transactions after the valuation date. Application of these valuationmethodologies involves a significant degree of judgment by management. Fair values of new investments are generally assumed to be equal to their cost tothe Company for up to three months after their initial purchase. To assess the reasonableness of the discounted cash flow approach, the fair value of equity securities, including warrants, in portfolio companies may alsoconsider the market approach—that is, through analyzing and applying to the underlying portfolio companies, market valuation multiples of publicly-tradedfirms engaged in businesses similar to those of the portfolio companies. The market approach to determining the fair value of a portfolio company’s equitysecurity (or securities) will typically involve: (1) applying to the portfolio company’s trailing twelve months (or current year projected) EBITDA a low tohigh range of enterprise value to EBITDA multiples that are derived from an analysis of publicly-traded comparable companies, in order to arrive at a range ofenterprise values for the portfolio company; (2) subtracting from the range of calculated enterprise values the outstanding balances of any debt or equitysecurities that would be senior in right of payment to the equity securities held by the Company; and (3) multiplying the range of equity values derivedtherefrom by the Company’s ownership share of such equity tranche in order to arrive at a range of fair values for the Company’s equity security (orsecurities). Application of these valuation methodologies involves a significant degree of judgment by management. Equity in a portfolio company that invests in loans will typically be valued by arriving at a fair value of such vehicle’s loan assets (plus, when appropriate,the carrying value of certain other assets), and deducting the book value or fair value (as appropriate) of such vehicle’s liabilities to arrive at a fair value forthe equity. When appropriate, in order to recognize value that would be created by growth opportunities of such portfolio company, equity in a portfoliocompany may also be valued by taking into consideration the magnitude, timing, and effective life of its expected future investments in loans. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of theinvestments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materiallyfrom the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions or otherwise are lessliquid than publicly traded instruments. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company mightrealize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded. With respect to Level 3 investments, where sufficient marketquotations are not readily available or for which no or an insufficient number of indicative prices from pricing services or brokers or dealers have beenreceived, the Company undertakes, on a quarterly basis, a valuation process as described below: 105 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) •For each debt investment, a basic credit rating review process is completed. The risk rating on every credit facility is reviewed and either reaffirmedor revised by the Investment Advisor’s investment committee.•Each portfolio company or investment is valued by an investment professional.•The preliminary valuations are documented and are then submitted to the Investment Advisor’s investment committee for ratification.•Third party valuation firm(s) are engaged to provide valuation services as requested, by reviewing the investment committee’s preliminaryvaluations. The Investment Advisor’s investment committee’s preliminary fair value conclusions on each of the Company’s assets for whichsufficient market quotations are not readily available is reviewed and assessed by a third-party valuation firm at least once in every 12-month period,and more often as determined by the audit committee of the Company’s Board or required by the Company’s valuation policy. Such valuationassessment may be in the form of positive assurance, range of values or other valuation method based on the discretion of the Company’s Board.•The audit committee of the Company’s Board reviews the preliminary valuations of the Investment Advisor’s investment committee andindependent valuation firms and, if appropriate, recommends the approval of the valuations by the Board.•The Company’s Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on the input of theInvestment Advisor, the audit committee and, where appropriate, the respective independent valuation firms. The Company’s investments are subject to a variety of risks (see Investment Risks in Note 2 for details).

The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable toestimate that value. Certain financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented donot represent the underlying value of the Company. The information presented should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only required for alimited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to the wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making theestimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including its debt obligations under the revolving line ofcredit, as well as its SBA debentures payable, approximated their estimated fair value. Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies At December 31, 2014, the Company had $7,836 of total unfunded commitments for six portfolio companies, consisting of $7,472 of unfunded debtcommitments and $364 of unfunded equity commitments. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $4,750 unfunded commitments for three portfoliocompanies, which consisted solely of unfunded debt commitments. From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings in the normal course of its business. Although the outcome of such litigation cannot bepredicted with any certainty, management is of the opinion, based on the advice of legal counsel, that final disposition of any litigation should not have amaterial adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. 110 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued) Additionally, the Company is subject to periodic inspection by regulators to assess compliance with applicable regulations related to being a BDC and SBICI LP is subject to periodic inspections by the SBA. Management believes that the Company is in material compliance with such regulations and inspectionresults do not indicate otherwise. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties that providegeneral indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be madeagainst the Company that have not occurred. The Company believes the risk of any material obligation under these indemnifications to be low. Note 9. Revolving Line of Credit OFS Capital WM has a $100,000 secured revolving credit facility (as amended from time to time, the “OFS Capital WM Credit Facility”) with Wells FargoBank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). The OFS Capital WM Credit Facility is secured by all current and future eligible loans acquired by OFS Capital WM. The OFSCapital WM Credit Facility has a maturity date of December 31, 2018 and a reinvestment period through December 31, 2015. The interest rate onoutstanding borrowings is the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.50% per annum at December 31, 2014. The minimum equity requirementcurrently is set at $35,000. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the applicable covenants. Under the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility, the Loan Manager charges both a senior and subordinated management fee to OFS Capital WM for its services,each at 0.25% per annum of the assigned value of the underlying portfolio investments, which value is determined by the Controlling Lender (as defined inthe OFS Capital WM loan documents), plus an accrued fee that is deferred until after the end of the investment period of the portfolio investments. For theyears ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the period November 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period January 1 through November 7, 2012,the Company incurred management fee expense of $731, $1,061, $141 and $650, respectively, to the Loan Manager. The interest rates on the revolving line of credit borrowings at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were 2.76% and 2.75%, respectively. The unused commitmentfee on the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility is (1) 0.5% per annum of the first $25,000 of the unused facility and (2) 2% per annum of the balance in excess of$25,000 and is included in interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the periodNovember 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the period January 1, 2012 through November 7, 2012, interest expense on revolving lines of credittotaled $2,905, $3,324, $580, and $3,583, respectively. Deferred financing closing costs, net of accumulated amortization, on the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $1,803and $3,043, respectively.

Write-offs of deferred financing closing costsoccur when the credit facility’s commitment is permanently reduced. Availability under the OFS Capital WM Credit Facility as of December 31, 2014 was $9,392 based on the stated advance rate of 70% under the borrowingbase. Note 10. SBA Debentures Payable Upon the completion of the Tamarix Acquisitions, effective December 4, 2013, the Company consolidated the financial statements of SBIC I LP into its ownand SBIC I LP’s SBA debentures payable are reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The SBIC license allows SBIC I LP to obtain leverage by issuing SBA-guaranteed debentures, subject to issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA andcustomary procedures. These debentures are non-recourse to the Company, have interest payable semi-annually and a ten-year maturity. The interest rate isfixed at the time of issuance at a market-driven spread over U.S. Treasury Notes with ten-year maturities. Under present SBIC regulations, the maximum amount of SBA-guaranteed debt that may be issued by a single SBIC licensee is $150,000. An SBIC fund mayborrow up to two times the amount of its regulatory capital, subject to customary regulatory requirements. In connection with the Tamarix Acquisitions, theCompany increased to $75,000 its total commitments to SBIC I LP, which became a drop down SBIC fund of the Company on December 4, 2013. During2014, the Company fully funded its $75,000 commitment to the SBIC I LP. As of December 31, 2014, SBIC I LP had leverage commitments of $149,880 fromthe SBA, and $127,295 of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures, leaving incremental borrowing capacity of $22,585, under present SBIC regulations. Asof December 31, 2013, SBIC I LP had leverage commitments of $49,438 from the SBA, and $26,000 of outstanding SBA-guaranteed debentures, leavingincremental borrowing capacity of $23,438. 111 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 10. SBA Debentures Payable (Continued) On a stand-alone basis, SBIC I LP held $215,728 in assets at December 31, 2014, and accounted for approximately 63% of the Company’s total consolidatedassets at December 31, 2014. The following table shows the Company’s outstanding SBA debentures payable as of December 31, 2014 and 2013: Fixed December 31, Pooling Date (1) Maturity Date Interest Rate 2014 2013 September 19, 2012 September 1, 2022 3.049% $14,000 $14,000 September 25, 2013 September 1, 2023 4.448 7,000 7,000 March 26, 2014 March 1, 2024 3.995 5,000 5,000 September 24, 2014 September 1, 2024 3.819 4,110 - September 24, 2014 September 1, 2024 3.370 31,265 - (2) (2) (2) 65,920 - Total SBA debentures outstanding $127,295 $26,000 (1) The SBA has scheduled pooling dates in March and September of each year. SBA debentures issued between pooling dates use an interim rate and will be fixed at the next pooling date. (2) During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company issued a total of $65,920 in SBA debentures which pool in March 2015, at which time the Company expects the current short-term interest rate weighted average of 0.92% will reset to a higher long-term fixed rate. The Company received exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) effective November 26, 2013. The exemptive relief allowsOFS Capital to exclude SBA guaranteed debentures from the definition of senior securities in the statutory 200% asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act,allowing for greater capital deployment. The weighted average fixed interest rate on the SBA debentures as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was 3.50% and 3.52%, respectively. For the year endedDecember 31, 2014 and for the period December 5, 2013 through December 31, 2013, interest expense on the SBA debentures was $1,319 and $60,respectively. Deferred financing closing costs, net of accumulated amortization, on SBA-guaranteed debentures as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $3,169 and zero,respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014, amortization of deferred financing closing costs on SBA-guaranteed debentures totaled $114. Note 11. Federal Income Tax The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, and to distribute substantially all of its respective net taxable income.Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been recorded in the financial statements. Taxable income differs from net increase in net assetsresulting from operations primarily due to unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments, as investment gains and losses are not included in taxableincome until they are realized. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2014, our taxable income differed from net increase in net assets resulting fromoperations due to (1) the exclusion from our taxable income of realized loss from our investment restructuring in a portfolio company (Tangible Software,Inc.), and (2) temporary tax and book difference related to our equity investment from pass-through entities, and (3) the exclusion from our taxable income ofcertain accrued preferred dividend income which has not been declared by our equity investees. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our taxable incomediffered from net increase in net assets resulting from operations due to (1) the exclusion from our taxable income of realized gain from the TamarixAcquisitions, and (2) temporary tax and book difference related to our equity investment from pass-through entities. 112 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 11.

Note 13. Dividends and Distributions The Company has elected to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to maintain its status as a RIC, it is required to distribute annually toits shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid a 4% excise tax on undistributed earnings, theCompany is required to distribute each calendar year the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income for such calendar year (ii) 98.2% of its net capital gains for theone-year period ending October 31 of that calendar year (iii) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which the Company paidno federal income tax. The Company intends to make distributions to shareholders on a quarterly basis of substantially all of its net investment income. Inaddition, although the Company intends to make distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually, out of assets legally available for suchdistributions, it may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment. In addition, the Company may be limited in its ability to make distributions due to the BDC asset coverage test for borrowings applicable to the Company asa BDC under the 1940 Act. 114 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 13.

If the tax characteristics of these distributions were determined as of December 31, 2012 (for the periodNovember 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012), March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013, September 30, 2013, December 31, 2013, March 31, 2014, June 30,2014, September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2014, the Company estimated that approximately zero, $0.18, $0.19, $0.18, zero, $0.19, $0.12, $0.04,and $0.11, respectively, would have represented a return of capital. The Company maintains an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan for its common shareholders. As a result, if the Company’s Board authorizes, and theCompany declares, a cash dividend or other distribution, then the Company’s shareholders who have not “opted out” of its dividend reinvestment plan willhave their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution. Thefollowing table represents dividend reinvestment plan activity for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013: Year Ended December 31, 2014 2013 Shares issued 21,037 51,106 Average price per share $12.17 $14.05 Distributions in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated profits and earnings would be treated first as a return of capital to the extent of theshareholder’s tax basis, and any remaining distributions would be treated as a capital gain. The determination of the tax attributes of the Company’sdistributions will be made annually as of the end of its fiscal year based upon its taxable income for the full year and distributions paid for the full year.Therefore, a determination made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes of the Company’s distributions for a full year. Eachyear, a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the source of the distribution will be mailed to the Company’s shareholders. Approximately $0.46 per shareof the Company’s distributions for the year ended December 31, 2014 were a return of capital to its shareholders. 115 OFS Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) Note 14. Earnings per Share The following table summarizes the calculations for basic and diluted net increase in net assets resulting from operations per common share for the yearsended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the period November 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Prior to November 7, 2012, the Company did not havecommon shares outstanding or an equivalent and therefore earnings per share results prior to November 7, 2012 are not provided. For the year ended December 31, 2014 For the year ended December 31, 2013 For the period November 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012 Net increase in net assets resulting from operations $9,940 $7,675 $923 Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding 9,634,471 9,619,723 9,578,691 Net increase in net assets resulting from operations per common share - basic anddiluted $1.03 $0.80 $0.10 Note 15. Extraordinary Gain (Loss) OFS Capital WM settles its quarterly waterfall distributions twenty days following the end of each calendar quarter. As a result, the OFS Capital WM waterfalldistribution for the fourth quarter of 2012 was made on January 22, 2013. Although the fourth quarter equity distribution included $873 relating to the pre-IPO period from October 1, 2012 through November 7, 2012, which could have been redistributed for the benefit of OFSAM—-which was the sole member ofOFS Capital prior to the IPO—-the entire equity distribution from the January 22, 2013 waterfall was instead retained by OFS Capital WM’s sole member,OFS Capital. As a result, OFS Capital recorded an extraordinary gain in the amount of $873 for the post-IPO period from November 8, 2012 throughDecember 31, 2012, and an extraordinary loss in the same amount for the period January 1, 2012 through November 7, 2012.

Item 9A.Controls and Procedures (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934(the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act isrecorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and proceduresinclude controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act isaccumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer(principal financial officer) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principalexecutive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls andprocedures as of December 31, 2014. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principalfinancial officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014. (b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequateinternal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a processdesigned to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reportingpurposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance ofrecords that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurancethat the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that the receipts andexpenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have amaterial effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detectmisstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because ofchanges in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with polices or procedures may deteriorate. Management (with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of ourinternal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued in 2013 by the Committee of SponsoringOrganizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effectiveas of December 31, 2014. (c) Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm Our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 has been audited by BDO USA, LLP, an independent registered publicaccounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report under the heading Report of Independent RegisteredPublic Accounting Firm.
