December 11, 2023

To Our Stockholders:
Company Overview
OFS Credit Company, Inc. (“OFS Credit”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) has a primary goal of generating current income on behalf of our stockholders. We are managing the portfolio during this time of market volatility and elevated interest rates, both of which continue to contribute to a risk of recession. We have raised new capital this year through our At-the-Market offering and we remain prudent in deploying this new capital into new investment opportunities.
As of October 31, 2023, our net asset value (“NAV”) per common share was $7.55, compared to $9.98 per common share as of October 31, 2022. During the year ended October, 31, 2023, we paid total distributions of $2.20 per common share, resulting in a total return of -2.3% based on NAV. We believe our recent cash and stock distributions allowed us to strengthen our balance sheet, and as of October 31, 2023, we had $16.8 million of cash to capitalize on additional investment opportunities. Much of that cash has been deployed since year-end.
During the year ended October 31, 2023, we sold approximately 4.0 million shares of common stock in our At-the-Market offering for net proceeds of $32.9 million. This enabled us to deploy $62.9 million of capital into new investments during the year, increasing the size of our investment portfolio at cost by $40.9 million, or 22.8%, compared to October 31, 2022.
As of October 31, 2023, we had $64.0 million of outstanding preferred stock with a weighted-average effective interest rate of 6.4%, which we believe is a favorable financing rate compared to today's rates. On November 19, 2023, we redeemed all of our issued and outstanding Series B Term Preferred Stock for approximately $3.0 million, and, as of December 11, 2023, all of our remaining outstanding preferred stock matures in 2026. We believe our long-dated and fixed-rate financing, at below market rates, affords us operational flexibility to create stockholder value in this interest rate environment.
For the year ended October 31, 2023, we produced a net interest spread of 9.5%. We believe our balance sheet is well positioned with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.55x at October 31, 2023.
Common Stock Distributions and Dividend Reinvestment Plan
First Quarter 2024 Common Stock Distributions - 100% Cash
On November 28, 2023, we announced monthly all-cash distributions for common stockholders for each of the three months in the quarter ending January 31, 2024. The current monthly distribution rate of $0.10 per common share equates to an approximate 19.4% annualized distribution rate based on the closing price of our common stock of $6.18 on The Nasdaq Capital Market on October 31, 2023. We intend to pay future distributions monthly in cash. We believe the change to a monthly all-cash distribution will help stabilize our NAV and deliver a better total return to stockholders.
The following schedule applies to the distributions for common stockholders of record on the close of business of each specific record date:
MonthRecord DatePayment DateCash Distribution Amount
November 2023December 22, 2023December 29, 2023$0.10
December 2023December 22, 2023December 29, 2023$0.10
January 2024January 24, 2024January 31, 2024$0.10

Dividend Reinvestment Plan - DRIP Shares Issued at 95% of Market Price
On June 1, 2023, the board of directors (the “Board”) approved an amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan (the “Amended DRIP”). For stockholders participating in the Amended DRIP, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder in connection with any distribution will be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the market price per share of common stock at the close of regular trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the valuation date fixed by the Board for such distribution. During fiscal year 2023, the Amended DRIP was suspended in connection with the Board’s declaration of distributions payable in cash and common stock.

Portfolio Overview
As of October 31, 2023, our investment portfolio consisted of 65 CLO equity issuers and 17 CLO debt issuers. During our fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, we deployed capital of $17.0 million and $39.8 million into additional CLO equity and CLO debt investments, respectively. As of October 31, 2023, the $17.0 million of new CLO equity investments had a weighted-average effective yield of 24.0%. We believe our recent CLO debt investments will generate attractive risk-adjusted returns, while providing enhanced capital protection by increasing our seniority in the CLO capital structure during this time of market volatility and the risk of recession.
Our CLO equity investments continued to generate strong recurring cash flows notwithstanding the market volatility during the year. During our fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, our CLO equity investments generated recurring cash flows of $35.4 million, compared to $33.3 million during the prior year. For the year ended October 31, 2023, our CLO equity cash flow yield based on amortized cost was 21.1%.
Loan and CLO Market Overview
Loan Market
The broadly syndicated loan (“BSL”) market experienced modest volatility in the first half of our fiscal year due to concerns regarding high inflation, elevated interest rates, slowing economic growth and geopolitical risk. The Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index was $92.19 on October 31, 2022, rose to a high of $94.71 on February 9, 2023, primarily due to new CLO creation in the market and a lack of new primary deals, then decreased to $92.89 on May 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the regional banking crisis and overall concerns about corporate credit performance. While the market fluctuated for approximately one to two months thereafter, corporate borrowers continued to report acceptable earnings profiles in their year-end 2022 and first quarter 2023 financial results in the April/May 2023 timeframe.
The Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index saw consistent month-over-month gains from May 31 through September 30, 2023, peaking at $95.92 on September 19, 2023 and ending our fiscal year at $94.76. During this timeframe, we observed that most activity in the primary market was related to “amend and extend” transactions, through which underlying borrowers addressed their maturity profiles.
We also evaluated inflows/outflows from the two largest segments of the BSL market: CLOs and fund flows. CLO inflows totaled $109.0 billion for our fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, while fund outflows were $26.3 billion, resulting in net inflows of $82.7 billion.
Defaults as reported by the Morningstar LSTA Leveraged Loan Index continued to rise steadily from the low in April 2022 of 0.18% and increased by over 110 basis points, with April 2023 reporting 1.31%. Defaults peaked in July 2023 at 1.75% and ended at 1.36% on October 31, 2023.
CLO Market
As of October 31, 2023, CLO new issue liability spread levels were at the widest levels seen since the COVID-19 pandemic began, with AAA’s at approximately 220 basis points and BB’s at the bottom of the debt structure at approximately 960 basis points.
CLO debt pricing levels saw a similar trend with spread levels tightening throughout most of 2023 and ending our fiscal year at approximately 170 basis points for AAA and 770 basis points for the BB-rated level. We are generally observing increased dispersion in the lower levels of the capital structure.
As we look forward to the 2023 calendar year-end, we expect the pace of issuance for both loans and CLOs to be modest. CLO issuance for the calendar year 2023 as of October 2023 was resilient with approximately $96 billion of issuance and we expect the market to exceed $100 billion for calendar year 2023.
As we continued to see resilient CLO creation throughout the year, despite loan volatility and an increase in defaults as noted, we believe that we were able to invest in CLO debt and, to a lesser degree, CLO equity at attractive risk adjusted levels relative to historical averages, and expect to continue to invest in these types of opportunities as the market continues to see volatility.
About Our Adviser
Our investment adviser, OFS Capital Management, LLC, is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and, as of September 30, 2023, had approximately $4.2 billion of committed assets under management. We believe our adviser is uniquely positioned to manage the Company given its expertise in both investing in structured credit (CLO equity and subordinated debt tranches) and managing CLOs, which entails underwriting corporate loans in the broadly syndicated loan market. We believe that our commitment to the strong, long-term performance of OFS Credit is aligned with the interests of our investment adviser who, together with other insiders, owns approximately 5.2% of the Company’s common stock.

We look forward to continuing this dialogue with you over the coming weeks and months and appreciate your continued support.

This letter is intended to assist stockholders in understanding our performance during the year ended October 31, 2023. The views and opinions in this letter were current as of October 31, 2023. Statements other than those of historical facts included herein may constitute forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including management’s belief that the Company’s balance sheet is well positioned with a favorable debt to equity ratio at fiscal year-end; management’s belief that the Company’s long-dated and fixed rate financing affords it operational flexibility to create stockholder value; management’s belief that the change to an all-cash distribution will help stabilize the Company’s NAV and deliver a better total return to stockholders; the intention to declare future distributions in cash, when there can be no guarantee that will be the case or, if declared, that such distributions will be sustained; management’s belief that the Company’s recent CLO debt investments will generate attractive risk-adjusted returns, while providing enhanced capital protection by increasing the Company’s seniority in the CLO capital structure; management’s expectations regarding the pace of issuance of loans and CLOs; management’s expectations that the Company will continue to invest in attractive risk adjusted levels as market volatility continues; management’s view regarding the expertise of the Company’s adviser; and management’s belief that the Company’s commitment to strong, long-term performance is aligned with the Company’s adviser who, together with affiliated parties, own over 5% of the Company’s common stock. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. Nothing herein should be relied upon as a representation as to the future performance or portfolio holdings of the Company. We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement made herein.

Important Information
This report is transmitted to the stockholders of OFS Credit Company, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) and is furnished pursuant to certain regulatory requirements. This report and the information and views herein do not constitute investment advice, or a recommendation or an offer to enter into any transaction with the Company or any of its affiliates. This report is provided for informational purposes only, does not constitute an offer to sell securities of the Company and is not a prospectus. From time to time, the Company may have a registration statement relating to one or more of its securities on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
An investment in the Company is not appropriate for all investors. The investment program of the Company is speculative, entails substantial risk and includes investment techniques not employed by traditional mutual funds. An investment in the Company is not intended to be a complete investment program. Shares of closed-end investment companies, such as the Company, frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value (“NAV”), which may increase investors’ risk of loss. Past performance is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance. The performance and certain other portfolio information quoted herein represents information as of October 31, 2023. Nothing herein should be relied upon as a representation as to the future performance or portfolio holdings of the Company. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Company’s performance is subject to change since the end of the period noted in this report and may be lower or higher than the performance data shown herein.

About OFS Credit Company, Inc.
The Company is a non-diversified, externally managed closed-end management investment company that has registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Our investment adviser is OFS Capital Management, LLC, which we refer to as “OFS Advisor” or the “Advisor.” Our primary investment objective is to generate current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, we will invest at least 80% of our assets, or net assets plus borrowings, in floating rate credit instruments and other structured credit investments, including: (i) collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) debt and subordinated (i.e., residual or equity) securities; (ii) traditional corporate credit investments, including leveraged loans and high yield bonds; (iii) opportunistic credit investments, including stressed and distressed credit situations and long/short credit investments; and (iv) other credit-related instruments. The CLOs in which we invest are collateralized by portfolios consisting primarily of below investment grade U.S. senior secured loans with a large number of distinct underlying borrowers across various industry sectors. As part of the 80%, we may also invest in other securities and instruments that are related to these investments or that OFS Advisor believes are consistent with our investment objectives, including senior debt tranches of CLOs and Loan Accumulation Facilities. “Loan Accumulation Facilities” are short-to-medium-term facilities often provided by the bank that will serve as the placement agent or arranger on a CLO transaction. Investments in Loan Accumulation Facilities have risks similar to those applicable to investments in CLOs. The CLO securities in which we primarily invest are unrated or rated below investment grade and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. Unrated and below investment grade securities are also sometimes referred to as “junk” securities. In addition, the CLO equity and subordinated debt securities in which we will invest are highly leveraged (with CLO equity securities typically being leveraged 9 to 13 times), which magnifies our risk of loss on such investments.

Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “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 and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
our future operating results;
the impact of interest and inflation rates on our business prospects and the prospects of a CLO vehicle’s portfolio companies;
our operating policy, investment strategy and their impact on the CLO vehicles in which we invest;
the dependence of our future success on financial institutions and the general economy and their impact on the industries in which we invest;
the expertise of our Advisor;
the ability of a CLO vehicle’s portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
4


our expected financings and investments;
the impact of current political, economic and industry conditions, including rising interest rates and elevated inflation rates, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the current conflict in Israel, instability in the U.S. and international banking systems, the risk of recession or a shutdown of U.S government services and other conditions affecting the financial and capital markets on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the fair value of our portfolio investments;
general uncertainty surrounding the financial and political stability of the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and China;
the belief that the Company’s cash balances are not exposed to any significant credit risk because the Company makes cash deposits only with high credit quality institutions;
the ultimate realization of estimated effective yield and investment cost;
the redemption of the outstanding shares of 6.125% Series C Term Preferred Stock, 6.00% Series D Term Preferred Stock or 5.25% Series E Term Preferred Stock or the repurchase by the Company of any shares of its Series C Term Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock under its repurchase program;
the potential significant difference in fair value of the investments from the values that would have been used had a ready market or observable inputs existed for such investments, or from the values that may ultimately be received or settled;
the expectation that interest income on investments in CLO debt and Loan Accumulation Facilities will be collected in cash;
the realization of significantly less than the value at which a portfolio investment had previously been recorded if the Company were required to liquidate such investment in a forced or liquidation sale;
the belief that the carrying amounts of our financial instruments, such as cash, receivables and payables approximate the fair value of such items due to the short maturity of such instruments and that such financial instruments are held with high credit quality institutions to mitigate the risk of loss due to credit risk;
the belief that certain rating agencies provide broader rating coverage across underlying loan portfolios;
the success of our current or future borrowings, or equity offerings to fund the growth of our investment portfolio;
interest rate volatility;
the impact of information technology system failures, data security breaches, data privacy compliance, network disruptions, and cybersecurity attacks;
the effect of new or modified laws or regulations governing our operations; and
the timing of cash flows, if any, from our investments.
Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and, as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include our ability to make new investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital on favorable terms. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in “Summary Risk Factors” in this report. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including Annual and Semi-Annual Reports on Form N-CSR and monthly portfolio investments reports filed on Form N-PORT for the third month of each of our fiscal quarters.

FEES AND EXPENSES (Unaudited)
The following table is intended to assist you in understanding the costs and expenses that you will bear directly or indirectly as a stockholder. However, we caution you that some of the percentages indicated in the table below are estimates and may vary. The following table should not be considered a representation of our future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than shown.
Stockholder Transaction Expenses (as a percentage of the offering price)
Sales load(1)
Offering expenses borne by the Company(2)
Distribution reinvestment plan expenses(3)
$15.00 
Total stockholder transaction expenses
Estimated Annual Expenses (as a percentage of net assets attributable to common stock):
Base management fee(4)
2.48 %
Incentive fees payable under our Investment Advisory Agreement (20% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, subject to hurdle)(5)
3.46 %
Interest payments on borrowed funds(6)
3.40 %
Other expenses(7)
2.35 %
Total annual expenses(8)
11.69 %
(1)     In the event that the securities are sold to or through underwriters, a prospectus supplement will disclose the applicable sales load and the “Example” will be updated accordingly.
(2)     The prospectus supplement corresponding to each offering will disclose the applicable offering expenses and total stockholder transaction expenses as a percentage of the offering price.
(3)     The expenses of the DRIP are included in “other expenses.” The plan administrator’s fees are paid by us. There are no brokerage charges or other charges to stockholders who participate in the plan except that, if a participant elects by written notice to the plan administrator to have the plan administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the plan administrator in the participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the plan administrator is authorized to deduct a $15.00 transaction fee plus a $0.10 per share brokerage commission from the proceeds. See “—Distribution Reinvestment Plan”.
(4)    The base management fee is based on actual base management fees incurred by us during the year ended October 31, 2023, and our actual leverage and net asset value as of October 31, 2023. We have agreed to pay OFS Advisor, as compensation under the Investment Advisory Agreement, a base management fee at an annual rate of 1.75% of our Total Equity Base, which is calculated as the sum of the net asset value of our common stock and the paid-in capital of our preferred stock. These management fees are paid by our stockholders and are not paid by the holders of preferred stock, or the holders of any other types of securities that we may issue. See “—Note 3 Related Party Transactions”.
(5)    We have agreed to pay OFS Advisor, as compensation under the Investment Advisory Agreement, a quarterly incentive fee equal to 20% of our “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a quarterly preferred return, or hurdle, of 2.00% of our NAV (8.00% annualized) and a catch-up feature. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. No incentive fee is payable to OFS Advisor on realized capital gains. The incentive fee is paid to OFS Advisor as follows:
no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle of 2.00% of our NAV;
100% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.50% of our NAV in any calendar quarter (10.00% annualized). We refer to this portion of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.50% of our NAV) as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide OFS Advisor with 20% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle did not apply if Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income meets or exceeds 2.50% of our NAV in any calendar quarter; and
20% of the amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.50% of our NAV in any calendar quarter (10.00% annualized) is payable to OFS Advisor (that is, once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter is paid to OFS Advisor).
The incentive fee referenced in the table above is based on actual incentive fees incurred by us during the year ended October 31, 2023. See “—Note 3 Related Party Transactions”.

(6)    “Interest payments on borrowed funds” represents the aggregate of dividends paid and accrued on our preferred stock during the year ended October 31, 2023. It also includes amortization of deferred underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses related to our outstanding preferred stock. We may incur, directly or indirectly, through one or more special purpose vehicles, indebtedness for borrowed money, as well as leverage in the form of preferred stock and other structures and instruments, in significant amounts and on terms that OFS Advisor and our board of directors deem appropriate, subject to applicable limitations under the 1940 Act. Any such borrowings do not include embedded or inherent leverage in CLO structures in which we invest or intend to invest or in derivative instruments in which we may invest. Our borrowing costs would increase in the event that we were to borrow additional money. In the event that we were to issue additional shares of preferred stock, the base management fee as a percentage of our net assets attributable to common stock would increase.
(7)    “Other expenses” is based on actual amounts incurred during the year ended October 31, 2023. “Other expenses” includes our overhead expenses, including services under the Administration Agreement based on our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by OFS Capital Services LLC, our administrator and an affiliate of OFS Advisor. “Other expenses” also includes ongoing administrative expenses to our independent accountants, legal counsel and compensation of independent directors.
(8)    “Total annual expenses” is presented as a percentage of net assets attributable to common stockholders, because the holders of shares of our common stock will bear all of our fees and expenses, all of which are included in this fee table presentation. The indirect expenses that will be associated with our CLO equity investments are not included in the fee table presentation, but if such expenses were included in the fee table presentation then our total annual expenses would have been 23.77%.
Example*
The following example demonstrates the projected dollar amount of total cumulative expenses that would be incurred over various periods with respect to a hypothetical investment in us. In calculating the following expense amounts, we assumed we would maintain the leverage as set forth above and that our operating expenses would remain at the levels set forth in the table above.

1 Year3 Year5 Year10 Year
You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5.0% annual return$81$235$379$701
*The example should not be considered a representation of future returns or expenses, and actual returns and expenses may be greater or less than those shown. While the example assumes a 5.0% annual return, our performance will vary and may result in a return greater or less than 5.0%. The incentive fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement, assuming a 5.0% annual return, would either not be payable or would have an insignificant impact on the expense amounts shown above, and is therefore not included in the example. Also, while the example assumes reinvestment of all dividends at net asset value, participants in our dividend reinvestment plan will receive a number of shares of our common stock, determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the dividend payable to a participant by ninety-five percent (95%) the market price per share of our common stock at the close of trading on the dividend payment date, which may be at, above or below net asset value. See “—Distribution Reinvestment Plan” for additional information regarding our dividend reinvestment plan.

The credit ratings distribution of the underlying obligors on a look-through basis to the portfolios of the Company’s CLO investments and other unrated investments reported as of October 31, 2023 is provided below:

(1) CLO indentures commonly require rating of the underlying collateral by nationally recognized rating agencies. Credit ratings shown are based on those assigned by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group (“S&P”), for comparison and informational purposes. This data represents underlying portfolio characteristics of the Company’s CLO equity portfolio. We have presented the S&P ratings of the underlying collateral of the CLO vehicles in which we are invested at October 31, 2023, because we believe S&P generally provides broader rating coverage across the underlying loan portfolios. Further information regarding S&P’s rating methodology and definitions may be found on its website (www.standardandpoors.com), which is not part of, or incorporated by reference in, this Annual Report.
(2) Underlying obligors with S&P ratings of BBB through AAA comprise less than 1.0% of all obligors and are excluded from the chart.

(1)    These investments are generally subject to certain limitations on resale, and may be deemed to be “restricted securities” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(2)    We do not “control” and are not an “affiliate” of any of our portfolio investments, each as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In general, under the 1940 Act, we would be presumed to “control” a portfolio investment if we owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an “affiliate” of a portfolio investment if we owned 5% or more of its voting securities.
(3)    The rate disclosed on CLO equity securities is the estimated effective yield, generally established at purchase, and reevaluated upon the receipt of the initial distribution and each subsequent quarter thereafter. The estimated effective yield is based upon projected amounts and timing of future distributions and the projected amounts and timing of terminal principal payments at the time of estimation. The estimated effective yield and investment cost may ultimately not be realized. Projected cash flows, including the amounts and timing of terminal principal payments, which generally are projected to occur prior to the contractual maturity date,

were utilized in deriving the effective yield of the investments. The rates disclosed on CLO debt securities reflect the contractual interest rate, and exclude yield related to accretion of discounts. The rate disclosed on Loan Accumulation Facilities represents the estimated yield to be earned on the investment through estimated redemption. As of October 31, 2023, the Company’s weighted-average effective yield on its total investments, based on current amortized cost, was 14.16% (excludes discount accretion on CLO debt investments).
(4)    CLO debt securities bear interest at a rate determined by reference to three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) which resets quarterly. The rate provided for each CLO debt security is as of October 31, 2023.
(5)    The fair value of all investments was determined in good faith by OFS Advisor using significant, unobservable inputs.
(6)    Subordinated notes and income notes are considered CLO equity securities. CLO equity securities are entitled to recurring distributions, which are generally equal to the residual cash flow payments made by underlying securities less contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses, subject to compliance with coverage tests and other provisions of the respective CLO indenture, as applicable.
(7)    As of October 31, 2023, the effective accretable yield has been estimated to be 0%, as the aggregate amount of projected distributions, including projected distributions related to liquidation of the underlying portfolio upon the security’s anticipated redemption, is equal to or less than current amortized cost. Projected distributions are monitored and re-evaluated quarterly. All actual distributions received will be recognized as reductions to amortized cost until such time, if and when occurring, a future aggregate amount of then-projected distributions exceeds the security’s then-current amortized cost.
(8)    Non-income producing.
(9)    Loan Accumulation Facilities are financing structures intended to aggregate loans that are expected to form part of the portfolio of a future CLO. Investments in Loan Accumulation Facilities generally earn returns equal to the actual income earned on facility assets less costs and fees incurred on senior financing and manager costs. Income and return of capital distributions from investments in Loan Accumulation Facilities are generally received upon the earlier of the closing of the CLO securitization or liquidation of the underlying portfolio.
(10) Fair value represents discounted cash flows associated with fees earned from CLO equity-related investments.
(11) As of October 31, 2023, the investment has been optionally redeemed and is in the process of liquidating. Remaining residual distributions are anticipated to be recognized as a return of capital.

Under normal market conditions, the Company invests at least 80% of its assets in floating rate credit instruments and other structured credit investments, including: (i) collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) debt and subordinated (i.e., residual or equity) securities; (ii) traditional corporate credit investments, including leveraged loans and high yield bonds; (iii) opportunistic credit investments, including stressed and distressed credit situations and long/short credit investments; and (iv) other credit-related instruments. The CLOs in which the Company invests are collateralized by portfolios consisting primarily of below investment grade U.S. senior secured loans with a large number of distinct underlying borrowers across various industry sectors. The Company may also invest in financing structures intended to aggregate loans that may be used to form the basis of a CLO vehicle, often provided by the bank that will serve as the placement agent or arranger on a CLO transaction (each, a “Loan Accumulation Facility”).
Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation: The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), including the provision Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies, and the reporting requirements of the 1940 Act and Article 6 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for fair presentation in accordance with GAAP.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accounting estimates significant to the financial statements include the recurring fair value and accretable yield estimates. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash: The Company’s cash is maintained with a member bank of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and, at times, such balances exceed the FDIC insurance limit. The Company does not believe its cash balances are exposed to any significant credit risk. As of October 31, 2023, all of the Company’s cash was held at U.S. Bank N.A.
Investments: The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework to measure fair value, and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is determined through the use of models and other valuation techniques, valuation inputs, and assumptions market participants would use to value the investment. Highest priority is given to prices for identical assets quoted in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority is given to fair value estimates based on unobservable inputs (Level 3). The availability of observable inputs can vary significantly and is affected by many factors, including the type of product, whether the product is new to the market, whether the product is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, and current market conditions. To the extent that the valuation is based on less observable or unobservable inputs, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by OFS Advisor in determining fair value is greatest for financial instruments classified as Level 3 (i.e., those instruments valued using non-observable inputs), which comprise the entirety of the Company’s investments.
In addition, OFS Advisor regularly assesses whether arm’s-length transactions have occurred in portfolio securities, including the Company’s own transactions in such securities, the executed trade prices (“Transaction Prices”) of which may—depending on the size of the transactions, identifiable market participants, and other factors—be considered reasonable indications of fair value for up to six months after the transaction date.
Changes to OFS Advisor’s valuation policy are reviewed and approved by management and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). As the Company’s investments change, markets change, new products develop, and valuation inputs become more or less observable, OFS Advisor, as the valuation designee, expects to refine its valuation methodologies.

The Company primarily invests in equity and junior debt tranches of CLO investment vehicles, Loan Accumulation Facilities and other credit-related investments. The Company considers underlying investment portfolio performance metrics, including prepayment rates, default rates, loss-on-default and recovery rates, and estimated market yields as a primary source for discounted cash flow fair value estimates, supplemented by actual trades executed in the market at or around period-end, as well as indicative prices provided by broker-dealers in its estimate of the fair value of such investments. The Company also considers operating metrics, typically included in the governing documents of CLO vehicles, including collateralization tests, concentration limits, defaults, restructuring activity and prepayment rates on the underlying loans, if applicable. The Company engages a third-party valuation firm to provide assistance to OFS Advisor in determining the fair value of its investments.
See Note 4 for additional disclosures of the Company’s fair value measurements of its financial instruments.
Investment Income
Interest income: Interest income from investments in CLO equity securities is recognized on the basis of the estimated effective yield to expected redemption utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC Subtopic 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. The Company monitors the expected cash flows from its CLO equity investments, and the accretable yields are generally established at purchase, and reevaluated upon the receipt of the initial distribution and each subsequent quarter thereafter. Expected cash flows inherent in the Company’s estimates of accretable yields are based on expectations of defaults and loss-on-default severity, as well as other loan-performance assumptions, impacting the loans in the underlying CLO portfolios. These estimated cash flows are subject to a reasonable possibility of near-term change due to economic and credit market conditions, and the effect of these changes could be material.
Further, the Company may receive other CLO equity-related securities in connection with the Company’s acquisition of, subsequent amendment to, or restructuring of, CLO equity investments. The Company determines the cost basis of the security based on its estimated fair value relative to the fair value of the CLO equity investment and other securities or consideration received.
Interest income from investments in Loan Accumulation Facilities is recognized on an accrual basis based on an estimated yield. Income notes associated with Loan Accumulation Facilities generally earn returns equal to the actual income earned on facility assets less costs of senior financing and manager costs. Interest income is generally received upon the earlier of the closing of the CLO securitization or liquidation of the underlying portfolio. The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of such amounts and, if necessary, subsequently adjusts the estimated yield. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Company recognized interest income of $1,407,208 from Loan Accumulation Facility investments.
Interest income from investments in CLO debt is recorded using the accrual basis of accounting to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. Amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts on CLO debt investments are recognized over the expected life. Management reviews, for placement on non-accrual status, all CLO debt positions that become past due with respect to interest, and/or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or cash interest will be collected. When a CLO debt position is placed on non-accrual status, accrued and unpaid interest is reversed. Additionally, discounts are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the position is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments subsequently received on non-accrual investments may be recognized as income or applied to cost depending upon management’s judgment. Interest accruals and discount accretion is resumed on non-accrual investments only when they are brought current with respect to interest payments and, in the judgment of management, the investments are estimated to be fully collectible as to all principal and interest. As of October 31, 2023, the Company had no CLO debt investments on non-accrual status.
Net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments: Investment transactions are reported on a trade-date basis. Unsettled trades as of the balance sheet date are reported as payable for investments purchased or receivable for investments sold. Primary market trades are recorded on the closing and issuance of the security. Realized gains and losses on investments are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of the investment on a specific-identification basis. An optional redemption feature of a CLO allows a majority of the holders of the CLO equity securities issued by the CLO issuer, after the end of a specified non-call period, to cause the redemption of the CLO equity securities issued by the CLO with proceeds paid either through the liquidation of the CLO’s assets or through a refinancing with new debt. The optional redemption is effectively a voluntary prepayment of the CLO equity securities issued by the CLO prior to the stated maturity of such debt securities. When the optional redemption feature has been exercised on a CLO equity security, distributions received are first recorded as a return of capital until its cost basis is reduced to zero and then as realized gains thereafter. Commencing on the optional redemption date, the Company ceases accruing income on its CLO equity securities that will be redeemed.
Investments are reported at fair value as determined in good faith by OFS Advisor, under the active supervision of the Board. See Note 4 for additional information. The Company reports changes in the fair value of investments as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments in the statement of operations.

Deferred issuance costs: Deferred issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s mandatorily redeemable preferred stock. Deferred issuance costs are presented as a direct reduction of the related liability on the statement of assets and liabilities. Deferred issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related mandatorily redeemable preferred stock.
Deferred offering costs: Offering costs include legal, accounting and other expenses pertaining to registration of securities. Offering costs are deferred and, as the registration statement is utilized and securities are sold, a portion of the costs are charged as a reduction to capital when a common stock offering occurs or as common stock is issued under an equity distribution agreement, or allocated to deferred issuance costs when a preferred stock or debt offering occurs. Deferred costs are periodically reviewed and charged to expenses if the related registration statement is withdrawn or if an offering is unsuccessful.
Interest expense: Due to its mandatory redemption requirements, the Company accounts for its preferred stock as liabilities under ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock are recorded as interest expense on the statement of operations. Interest expense is recorded on an accrual basis as incurred.
Income taxes: The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source of income and asset diversification requirements, and timely distribute at least 90% of its annual investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), to its stockholders. The Company has made, and intends to continue to make, the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which generally relieves the Company from U.S. federal income taxes.
The Company may be liable for 4% excise tax on a portion of income unless it timely distributes at least 98% of its ICTI, or 98.2% of net capital gains, to its stockholders. However, the Company may choose to retain a portion of ICTI in an amount less than that which would trigger U.S. federal income tax liability under Subchapter M of the Code. Excise taxes are recognized when the Company determines it is probable distributions of estimated taxable income will not meet the distribution thresholds for avoidance of such tax. See Note 7 for additional details.
The Company evaluates tax positions taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether they 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 could result in greater and undistributed ICTI, income and excise tax expense, and, if involving multiple years, a re-assessment of the Company’s RIC status. GAAP requires recognition of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no uncertain income tax positions at October 31, 2023.
Distributions: Distributions to stockholders are recorded on the applicable record date. The amount, timing and form of distributions is determined by the Board each quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment. Distributions paid in excess of ICTI and net realized gains are generally considered returns of capital to stockholders.
Net investment income determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences result in a reclassification between capital accounts. Additionally, certain short-term capital gains may be reported as ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions paid by the Company in accordance with RIC requirements are subject to re-characterization for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid to stockholders, as set forth in the statements of changes in net assets and in the financial highlights, reflect estimates made by the Company, as our fiscal year end differs from the calendar year period on which the character of distributions is determined for 1099-DIV reporting purposes. Actual results may vary as the tax character of distributions is unknown until it is determined annually as of the end of each calendar year and, if required, reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV. Accordingly, the final tax character of distributions may differ materially from the estimates presented herein.
Concentration of credit risk: Aside from the Company’s investments, financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits at financial institutions. At various times during the year, the Company’s cash deposits exceed the FDIC insured limit. The Company places cash deposits only with high credit quality institutions, which OFS Advisor believes will mitigate the risk of loss due to credit risk. Management believes the risk of loss related to the Company’s cash deposits is minimal. If underlying funds and managers fail to perform according to the terms of the indentures and collateral management agreements and the collateral or other security for those instruments proved to be of no value to the Company, the amount of loss due to credit risk from the Company’s investments is equal to the Company’s recorded investments and the unfunded commitments disclosed in Note 5.

Note 3. Related Party Transactions
Investment Advisory and Management Agreement: OFS Advisor manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). On June 1, 2023, the Board unanimously voted to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for one year. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, OFS Advisor is responsible for: (i) determining the composition of the portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to the portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes; (ii) identifying, evaluating and negotiating the structure of the investments made (including performing due diligence on prospective investments); (iii) closing and monitoring the investments made; and (iv) providing other investment advisory, research and related services as required. OFS Advisor is a subsidiary of OFSAM and a registered investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). OFS Advisor’s services under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and it and its members, officers and employees are free to furnish similar services to other persons and entities so long as its services to the Company are not impaired. OFS Advisor also serves as the investment adviser to other funds, separately-managed accounts and other assets, including OFS Capital Corporation and Hancock Park Corporate Income, Inc. Additionally, OFS Advisor serves as a sub-advisor to investment companies managed by an affiliate.
OFS Advisor receives fees for providing services, consisting of two components: a base management fee (“Base Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (“Incentive Fee”). The Base Management Fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals an annual rate of 1.75% of the Company’s “Total Equity Base”, defined as the sum of the net asset value of the Company’s common stock and the paid-in capital of the Company’s preferred stock. Base Management Fees are paid by the holders of our shares of common stock and are not paid by holders of preferred stock, or the holders of any other types of securities that the Company may issue. Base Management Fees for any partial calendar quarter are prorated based on the number of days in such quarter. The Base Management Fee does not increase when the Company borrows funds, but will increase if the Company issues preferred stock. The Base Management Fee is calculated before the determination of any Incentive Fee for the quarter, as further described below.
The Incentive Fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and equals 20% of the Company’s “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a preferred return, or “hurdle,” and a “catch up” feature. For this purpose, “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from an investment) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Base Management Fee, expenses payable under the administrative services agreement to OFS Capital Services, LLC (“OFS Services”), and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash, as well as any such amounts received (or accrued) in kind. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any capital gains or losses, and no incentive fees are payable in respect of any capital gains and no incentive fees are reduced in respect of any capital losses.
In calculating the Incentive Fee for any given calendar quarter, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s NAV at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a hurdle of 2.0% of the Company’s NAV per quarter (8.0% annualized) (the “Hurdle Rate”). For such purposes, the Company’s quarterly rate of return is determined by dividing its Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income by its reported NAV as of the prior period end. The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the incentive fee is also included in the calculation of the Total Equity Base which is used to calculate the Base Management Fee. The Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in each calendar quarter as follows: 
(A)    no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle of 2.0% of NAV; 
(B)    100% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.5% of NAV in any calendar quarter (10.0% annualized). The Company refers to this portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.5% of our NAV) as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide OFS Advisor with 20% of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle did not apply if this net investment income meets or exceeds 2.5% of NAV in any calendar quarter; and
(C)    20.0% of that portion of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, with respect to which the rate of return exceeds 2.5% in such quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to OFS Advisor (that is, once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter is due to OFS Advisor).

There will be no accumulation of amounts on the Hurdle Rate from quarter to quarter, no claw back of amounts previously paid if the rate of return in any subsequent quarter is below the Hurdle Rate and no delay of payment if the rate of return in any prior quarters was below the Hurdle Rate. Incentive Fees will be adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the calendar quarter, and any partial quarter Incentive Fee will be prorated based on the number of days in such quarter.
Administration Agreement: OFS Services, an affiliate of OFS Advisor, provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate. OFS Services furnishes the Company with office facilities and equipment, necessary software licenses and subscriptions, and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “Administration Agreement”). On June 1, 2023, the Board unanimously voted to approve the continuation of the Administration Agreement for one year. Under the Administration Agreement, OFS Services performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company’s required administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to its stockholders and all other reports and materials required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority. In addition, OFS Services assists the Company in determining and publishing its NAV, oversees the preparation and filing of its tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to its stockholders, and generally oversees the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others. Payment under the Administration Agreement is equal to an amount based upon the Company’s allocable portion (subject to the review and approval of the Board) of OFS Services’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including, but not limited to, rent, information technology services and the Company’s allocable portion of the cost of its officers, including its chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief compliance officer, chief accounting officer, corporate secretary and their respective staffs. To the extent that OFS Services outsources any of its functions, the Company will pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without profit to OFS Services. The Administration Agreement may be renewed annually with the approval of the Board, including a majority of our directors who are not “interested persons.” The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party.
Equity Ownership: As of October 31, 2023, OFS Advisor and its affiliates held 834,600 shares of common stock, which is approximately 5.2% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
Expenses recognized under agreements with OFS Advisor and OFS Services and distributions paid to affiliates for the year ended October 31, 2023 are presented below:

Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s investments are carried at fair value and determined in accordance with a documented valuation policy that is applied in a consistent manner. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”), the Board designated OFS Advisor as the valuation designee to perform fair value determinations relating to the Company’s investments, and the Board maintains oversight of OFS Advisor in its capacity as valuation designee.
As of October 31, 2023, all of the Company’s investments are classified as Level 3 under ASC Topic 820. The table below provides the primary quantitative information about valuation techniques used to classify the Company’s investments and the Company’s significant unobservable inputs to its Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition to the techniques and unobservable inputs noted in the table below and in accordance with OFS Advisor’s valuation policy, OFS Advisor, as valuation designee, may also use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the fair value measurements of the Company’s investment assets. The table below is not intended to be all-inclusive.

(1)    Weighted average is calculated based on the fair value of investments.
(2)    The cash flows utilized in the discounted cash flow calculations assume: (i) liquidation of (a) certain distressed investments and (b) all investments currently in default held by the issuing CLO at their current market prices; and (ii) redeployment of proceeds at the issuing CLO’s assumed reinvestment rate.
(3)    A weighted average is not presented as the input in the discounted cash flow model varies over the life of an investment.
(4)    NAV liquidation represents the fair value, or estimated expected residual value, of the investment.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 investments, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market or observable inputs existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be received or settled. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions, and otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded instruments. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company might realize significantly less than the value at which such investment had previously been recorded, and the Company may realize significant realized losses of

invested capital. The Company’s investments are subject to market risk as a result of economic and political developments, including impacts from rising interest rates and elevated inflation rates, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the current conflict in Israel, instability in the U.S. and international banking systems, the risk of recession or a shutdown of U.S. government services and related market volatility. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which certain investments are traded and can affect the fair value of the Company’s investments.

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities
GAAP requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate such value. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of its other financial instruments, such as cash, receivables and payables approximate the fair value of such items due to the short maturity of such instruments and that such financial instruments are held with high credit quality institutions to mitigate the risk of loss due to credit risk.

As of October 31, 2023, the Company had unfunded commitments to fund investments totaling $6,214,583.
Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not occurred. The Company believes the risk of any material obligation under these indemnifications to be low.
Under the Company’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company.
Legal and regulatory proceedings: 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 be predicted with any certainty, management is of the opinion, based on the advice of legal counsel, that final disposition of any litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2023.

Note 7. Federal Income Taxes
The Company has elected, and intends to qualify annually to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain its tax treatment as a RIC, the Company is required to distribute annually to its stockholders at least 90% of its ICTI. Additionally, to avoid a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on undistributed earnings, the Company 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 the period ending October 31 of that calendar year; and (iii) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years and on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax. Maintenance of the Company's RIC status also requires adherence to certain source of income and asset diversification requirements provided under the Code. The Company has met the source of income and asset diversification requirements as of October 31, 2023, and intends to continue to meet these requirements.
During the year ended October 31, 2023, the Company paid excise taxes of $300,000 related to estimated undistributed income during calendar year 2022. As of October 31, 2023, the Company has accrued a refund of $154,547 related to tax-year 2022 excise tax overpayments.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2023

The Company’s ICTI differs from the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations primarily due to differences in income recognition for CLO equity investments, the treatment of distributions on preferred stock, the recognition of non-deductible excise tax expense and recognition of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments. These differences can be permanent or temporary in nature. GAAP requires recognition of an estimated constant yield for CLO equity investments. U.S. federal income tax rules, however, require recognition of income reported to the Company by the underlying CLO fund in the tax period reported. Distributions on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock are reported as interest expense under GAAP but are treated as either dividends or return-of-capital distributions for federal income tax purposes.
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Company recorded a reclassification between its capital accounts of $4,316,066 for permanent book-tax income differences related to nondeductible deferred issuance costs amortization on preferred stock, nondeductible excise tax expense, and prior year provision-to-return true-ups. These reclassifications have no effect on total net assets or net asset value per common share. As of October 31, 2023, the Company had no undistributed ICTI and a non-expiring capital loss carry-forward of $3,057,947.
As of October 31, 2023, the estimated tax-basis cost of investments and associated tax-basis gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) inherent in the fair value of investments based on known and estimated GAAP-tax basis differences were as follows:
Tax-basis amortized cost of investments$207,949,695 
Tax-basis gross unrealized appreciation on investments2,805,406 
Tax-basis gross unrealized depreciation on investments(42,657,373)
Tax-basis net unrealized depreciation on investments(39,851,967)
Fair value of investments$168,097,728 
The Company distributed $28,602,012 for the year ended October 31, 2023, consisting of common stock distributions and the cash portion of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock interest, which is considered a distribution for federal income tax purposes. The final tax character of distributions will not be determined until the end of the calendar year and the tax character of all distributions will be reported to stockholders on Form 1099-DIV, if required, after the end of each calendar year. Distributions declared prior to December 31st and paid on or prior to January 31st of the following year, are generally included in such tax reporting to the recipient in the year declared.

(1)Calculated on the average share method.
(2)The final tax character of the Company’s earnings cannot be determined until the end of the calendar year and may vary from the estimates as set forth in the statements of changes in net assets and disclosed above and in Note 9. Each common stockholder, if required, will receive a Form 1099-DIV following the end of each calendar year, which will reflect the actual amounts of taxable ordinary income, capital gain and return of capital paid by the Company. The figures above have not been adjusted to reflect the final tax character of any particular period, as applicable.
(3)The issuance of common stock on a per share basis reflects the incremental net asset value change as a result of the issuance of shares of common stock under the Equity Distribution Agreement (as defined below), the issuance of shares of common stock in the Company’s August 2019 rights offering, the issuance of shares of common stock in the Company’s March 2021 public offering, the issuance of shares of common stock as common stock distributions, and the anti-dilutive (dilutive) impact from changes in weighted-average shares outstanding during the period.
(4)Total return based on market value is calculated assuming shares of common stock were purchased at the market price at the beginning of the period, distributions were reinvested at a price obtained in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, and shares were sold at the closing market price on the last day of the period. Total return is not annualized for a period of less than one year.
(5)Total return based on net asset value is calculated assuming shares of common stock were purchased at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, distributions were reinvested at a price obtained in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, and shares were sold at the ending net asset value on the last day of the period. Total return is not annualized for a period of less than one year.
(6)Ratio of total expenses before management fee waiver to average net assets was 9.87% and 6.17% for the year ended October 31, 2019 and period ended October 31, 2018, respectively.
(7)Annualized for periods less than one year.
(8)Ratio of total expenses (before the one-time adjustment to reflect shares issued by the Company during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021) to average net assets was 12.83% and 12.36% for the year ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
(9)Ratio of net investment income before management fee waiver to average net assets was 8.54% and 5.42% for the year ended October 31, 2019 and period ended October 31, 2018, respectively.
(10)Ratio of net investment income (before the one-time adjustment to reflect shares issued by the Company during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021) to average net assets was 13.09% and 8.95% for the year ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
(11)Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of period-to-date sales, repayments and distributions from portfolio investments or period-to-date purchases over the average of the invested assets at fair value.
(12)Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company is permitted to issue senior securities, including preferred stock, provided that the Company maintains an asset coverage of at least 200%. Asset coverage is calculated as the ratio of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Company’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness.

Inc., as Placement Agent, on the other hand, as amended (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”), relating to the sale of shares in an offering of its common stock (the “At-the-Market Offering”). The original equity distribution agreement provided that the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock in the At-the-Market Offering having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million.
On August 15, 2023, the Equity Distribution Agreement was amended to, among other things, increase the amount of common stock that the Company may offer to sell pursuant to such agreement up to an aggregate offering price of $130.0 million (which amount includes all of the shares previously sold pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement to date).
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Company sold 4,022,084 shares of its common stock in the At-the-Market offering for net proceeds of $32,911,185, after deducting commissions and fees of $481,905.
As of October 31, 2023, the Company may issue additional shares in the At-the-Market Offering of approximately $57.7 million.

(1) The total amount of cash distributed to stockholders was limited to 20% of the total distribution paid, excluding any cash paid for fractional shares. The remainder of the distribution (approximately 80%) was paid in shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company distributed $24,977,764, or $2.20 per common share, during the year ended October 31, 2023. The tax attributes of distributions are determined annually as of the end of each calendar year based, in part, on the taxable income for the fiscal year, estimated taxable income subsequent to the fiscal year end, and distributions paid. The estimated tax character of each distribution paid is reported to stockholders, if required, on Form 1099-DIV following the close of the calendar year. The estimated tax character of distributions paid for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, represent $1.88 from ordinary income and $0.32 from tax return of capital. These amounts and sources of distributions reported are not being provided for U.S. tax reporting purposes as the fiscal period does not correspond to the required tax reporting period. The final tax character of the Company’s earnings cannot be determined until tax returns are prepared after the end of the fiscal year. The information provided is based on available estimates, and may differ from amounts reported on Form 1099-DIV and as finally determined on the Company’s tax return, when filed.
Dividend Reinvestment Program
The Company adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of its common stock distributions on behalf of the common stockholders (the “DRIP”), unless a common stockholder elects to receive cash.
On June 1, 2023, the Board approved an amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan (the “Amended DRIP”). For stockholders participating in the Amended DRIP, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder in connection with any distribution will be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by an amount equal to ninety five percent (95%) of the market price per share of common stock at the close of regular trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the valuation date fixed by the Board for such distribution.
During the year ended October 31, 2023, the DRIP was suspended in connection with the Board’s declaration of the Company’s quarterly distributions payable in cash and common stock, and, therefore no shares were issued under the DRIP or the Amended DRIP.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
OFS Credit Company, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of OFS Credit Company, Inc. (the Company), including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2023, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended and the period from October 10, 2018 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2018. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2023, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended and the period from October 10, 2018 through October 31, 2018 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023, by correspondence with custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Accompanying Supplemental Information
We have also previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the statements of assets and liabilities of the Company, including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the years then ended and the related statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the three-year period ended October 31, 2021 (none of which is presented herein), and we expressed unqualified opinions on those financial statements. The senior securities tables on page 42 under the caption “Senior Securities Tables” (the “Senior Securities Tables”) have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company’s respective financial statements. The Senior Securities Tables are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the Senior Securities Tables reconcile to the respective financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the Senior Securities Tables. In forming our opinion on the Senior Securities Tables, we evaluated whether the Senior Securities Tables, including their form and content, are presented in conformity with the instructions to Form N-2. In our opinion, the Senior Securities Tables are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the respective financial statements as a whole.

SUMMARY RISK FACTORS
The risk factors described below are a summary of the principal risk factors associated with an investment in the Company. These are not the only risks we face. You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with the risk factors set forth in our prospectus, as supplemented from time to time, and the other reports and documents filed by us with the SEC. Specifically, see “Risk Factors” in our prospectus filed with the SEC on June 4, 2021.
We are subject to risks related to our business and structure.
Our investment portfolio is recorded at fair value and OFS Advisor, our “valuation designee,” determines the fair value of our investments in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As a result, there will be uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments and the participation of OFS Advisor’s professionals in our valuation process could result in a conflict of interest.
Our financial condition and results of operations depend on OFS Advisor’s ability to effectively manage and deploy capital.
We are dependent upon the OFS senior professionals for our future success and upon their access to the investment professionals and partners of OFSAM and its affiliates.
OFS Advisor and OFS Services each has the right to resign on 60 days’ notice, and we may not be able to find a suitable replacement within that time, resulting in a disruption in our operations that could adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.
Our success will depend on the ability of OFS Advisor to attract and retain qualified personnel in a competitive environment.
Our incentive fee structure may incentivize OFS Advisor to pursue speculative investments, use leverage when it may be unwise to do so, refrain from de-levering when it would otherwise be appropriate to do so, or include optimistic assumptions in the determination of net investment income.
We may be obligated to pay OFS Advisor incentive compensation even if we incur a loss.
We may pay an incentive fee on income we do not receive in cash.
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.
The Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement were not negotiated on an arm's length basis and may not be as favorable to us as if they had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results.
Our Board may change our operating policies and strategies without stockholder approval, the effects of which may be adverse.
We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates if we are unable to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC.
There is a risk that holders of our equity securities may not receive distributions or that our distributions may not grow or may be reduced over time.
We may choose to pay distributions in our own common stock, in which case, our stockholders may be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes in excess of the cash distributions they receive.
We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.
Because we expect to distribute substantially all of our ordinary income and net realized capital gains to our stockholders, we may need additional capital to finance the acquisition of new investments and such capital may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates is restricted, which may limit the scope of investments available to us.
We may leverage our portfolio, which would magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and will increase the risk of investing in us.
Provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could deter takeover attempts and have an adverse effect on the price of our securities.
Events outside of our control, including public health crises, elevated interest and inflation rates and significant market volatility, have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, our CLO investments and our results of operations.
Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability.
Further downgrades of the U.S. credit rating, impending automatic spending cuts or a government shutdown could negatively impact the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and earnings.
Adverse developments in the credit markets may impair our ability to secure debt financing.
Terrorist attacks, acts of war or natural disasters may impact the businesses in which we invest and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
Cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents may adversely affect our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.
44


We are subject to risks associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.
The impact of legal, tax and regulatory changes in the United States is uncertain and may directly affect financial institutions and the global economy.
Our cash and cash equivalents could be adversely affected if the financial institutions in which we hold our cash and cash equivalents fail.
We are subject to risks related to our investments.
Investing in senior secured loans indirectly through CLO securities involves particular risks.
Our investments in CLO securities, and other structured finance securities involve certain risks.
Our investments in subordinated or equity CLO securities are more likely to suffer a loss of all or a portion of their value in the event of a default.
Our portfolio of investments may lack diversification among CLO securities or underlying obligors, which may subject us to a risk of significant loss if one or more of these CLO securities experience a high level of defaults on collateral.
Our portfolio is focused on CLO securities, and the CLO securities in which we invest may hold loans that are concentrated in a limited number of industries.
Failure by a CLO in which we are invested to satisfy certain tests will harm our operating results.
Our investments in CLO securities may be less transparent to us and our stockholders than direct investments in the collateral.
CLO investments involve complex documentation and accounting considerations.
The application of the risk retention rules under Section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Act and other similar European Union law to CLOs may have broader effects on the CLO and loan markets in general, potentially resulting in fewer or less desirable investment opportunities for us.
Our investments in CLO securities may be subject to special anti-deferral provisions that could result in us incurring tax or recognizing income prior to receiving cash distributions related to such income.
If a CLO in which we invest fails to comply with certain U.S. tax disclosure requirements, such CLO may be subject to withholding requirements that could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.
Increased competition in the market or a decrease in new CLO issuances may result in increased price volatility or a shortage of investment opportunities.
The interest rates of our investments might be subject to change, including as a result of the transition away from LIBOR and the adoption of alternative reference rates, which could affect our results of operations.
The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business.
We are subject to risks associated with defaults on an underlying asset held by a CLO.
We are subject to risks associated with Loan Accumulation Facilities.
We are subject to risks associated with the bankruptcy or insolvency of an issuer or borrower of a loan that we hold or of an underlying asset held by a CLO in which we invest.
We may be exposed to risks if we invest in the securities of new issuers.
We and our investments may be subject to currency risk.
We and our investments are subject to risks associated with non-U.S. investing.
Any unrealized depreciation we experience on our portfolio may be an indication of future realized losses, which could reduce our income available for distribution or to make payments on our other obligations.
A portion of our income and fees may not be qualifying income for purposes of the income source requirement.
Downgrades by rating agencies of broadly syndicated loans could adversely impact the financial performance of the CLO vehicles in which we have invested and their ability to pay equity distributions to the Company in the future.
We are subject to risks relating to our securities.
Our shares of common stock have traded at a discount from NAV and our 6.125% Series C Term Preferred Stock due 2026 and our 5.25% Series E Term Preferred Stock due 2026 may not trade at a favorable price.
Our common stock price may be volatile and may decrease substantially.
SEC regulations may limit the number of shares we may sell pursuant to our shelf registration statement.
If we issue additional preferred stock, the net asset value and market value of our common stock will likely become more volatile.
Any amounts that we use to service our indebtedness or preferred dividends, or that we use to redeem our preferred stock, will not be available for distributions to our common stockholders.
Our common stock is subject to a risk of subordination relative to holders of our debt instruments and holders of our preferred stock.
Holders of any preferred stock we might issue have the right to elect members of our Board and class voting rights on certain matters.
You may not receive distributions or our distributions may decline or may not grow over time.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully deploy the proceeds of any offering within the timeframe we have contemplated.

The risk factor entitled “Events outside of our control, including public health crises, rising interest and inflation rates and significant market volatility, have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, our CLO investments and our results of operations.” in the Base Prospectus is replaced in its entirety as follows:
Events outside of our control, including public health crises, elevated interest and inflation rates and significant market volatility, have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, our CLO investments and our results of operations.
Periods of market volatility may continue to occur in response to rising interest and elevated inflation rates, public health crises, or other events outside of our control. These types of events will continue to lead to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies, may lead to a recession, and have adversely affected, and will continue to adversely affect, our operating results.
Inflation rates in the United States have increased and remain elevated. Food and energy costs have increased, reflecting labor market, supply chain and transportation disruptions. Since the beginning of 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve has raised interest rates several times to combat inflation, and may continue to do so.
Any of the foregoing factors, or other cascading effects of rising interest and elevated inflation rates, will materially increase our costs, negatively impact our investment income and damage our results of operations and liquidity position, possibly to a significant degree. These impacts, the duration of which remains uncertain, have affected and will continue to adversely affect the Company’s operating results.
The risk factor entitled “Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability” in the Base Prospectus is replaced in its entirety as follows:
Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability.
The current worldwide financial markets situation, as well as various social and political tensions in the United States and around the world, may contribute to increased market volatility, may have long term effects on the United States and worldwide financial markets, and may cause economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. For example, global financial markets are currently experiencing supply chain disruptions, significant labor and resource shortages, rising interest rates and a period of high inflation. In addition, there is currently geopolitical, economic and financial market instability in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and China.
The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the resulting global responses, including economic sanctions by the United States, the European Union and other countries, and the escalated armed conflict in the Middle East have increased and could continue to increase volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets and adversely affect regional and global economies. The extent and duration of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and the repercussions of such conflicts are impossible to predict, but could result in significant market disruptions and may further negatively affect global supply chains, energy prices, inflation and global growth.
We expect the current high inflationary environment to continue and some economists predict that the U.S. economy may enter an economic recession. The current economic and financial market instability as well as the risk of recession, may lead to financial institutions limiting their lending activity and refinancing transactions. It may become difficult for us to secure appropriate financing to finance the growth of our investments on acceptable economic terms. Market volatility is also likely to result in borrower defaults and/or restructuring of existing credit arrangements.
We may also be subject to risk arising from a default by one of several large institutions that are dependent on one another to meet their liquidity or operational needs, so that a default by one institution may cause a series of defaults by the other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as “systemic risk” and may adversely affect financial intermediaries with which we interact in the conduct of our business.
Overall uncertainty in the economic environment globally and in the United States may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability. We continuously monitor developments and seek to manage our investments in a manner consistent with achieving our investment objective, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.
The following risk factors have been added to the Base Prospectus:
Further downgrades of the U.S. credit rating, impending automatic spending cuts or a government shutdown could negatively impact the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and earnings.
U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns have increased the possibility of additional credit-rating downgrades and economic slowdowns, or a recession in the United States. Although U.S. lawmakers passed legislation to raise the federal debt ceiling on
46


multiple occasions, including a suspension of the federal debt ceiling in June 2023, ratings agencies have lowered or threatened to lower the long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States.
The impact of this or any further downgrades to the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating or its perceived creditworthiness could adversely affect the U.S. and global financial markets and economic conditions. Absent further quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve, these developments could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. In addition, disagreement over the federal budget has caused the U.S. federal government to shut down for periods of time and may lead to additional U.S. federal government shutdowns. Continued adverse political and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’ business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to risks associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.
Recent technological advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, or Machine Learning Technology, pose risks to the Company, OFS Advisor and any third parties that the Company engages with. The Company could be exposed to the risks of Machine Learning Technology if third-party service providers or any counterparties use Machine Learning Technology in their business activities. The Company and OFS Advisor are not in a position to control the use of Machine Learning Technology in third-party products or services. Use of Machine Learning Technology could include the input of confidential information in contravention of applicable policies, contractual or other obligations or restrictions, resulting in such confidential information becoming partly accessible by other third-party Machine Learning Technology applications and users. Machine Learning Technology and its applications continue to develop rapidly, and the Company cannot predict the risks that may arise from such developments.
Machine Learning Technology is generally highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data, and it is not possible or practicable to incorporate all relevant data into the model that Machine Learning Technology utilizes to operate. Certain data in such models will inevitably contain a degree of inaccuracy and error and could otherwise be inadequate or flawed, which would be likely to degrade the effectiveness of Machine Learning Technology. To the extent the Company exposed to the risks of Machine Learning Technology use, any such inaccuracies or errors could adversely impact the Company or its business.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
On June 1, 2023, the Board adopted an amended and restated dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of our distributions and other distributions on behalf of our common stockholders (the “Amended DRIP”), unless a common stockholder elects to receive cash as provided below. As a result, if our Board authorizes, and we declare, a cash distribution, then our common stockholders who have not “opted out” of our Amended DRIP will have their cash distribution automatically reinvested in additional shares of common stock, rather than receiving the cash distribution.
No action is required on the part of a registered holder of common stock to have their cash distribution reinvested in shares of our common stock. A registered holder of common stock may elect to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the plan administrator and our transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator no later than 10 days prior to the record date for distributions to holders of common stock. The plan administrator will set up an account for shares acquired through the Amended DRIP for each holder of common stock who has not elected to receive distributions in cash and hold such shares in non-certificated form. Upon request by a holder of common stock participating in the plan, received in writing not less than 10 days prior to the record date, the plan administrator will, instead of crediting shares to the participant’s account, issue a certificate registered in the participant’s name for the number of whole shares and a check for any fractional share.
Those common stockholders whose common shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive distributions in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.
We primarily use newly issued shares of our common stock to implement the Amended DRIP, whether shares of our common stock are trading at a premium or at a discount to net asset value. However, we reserve the right to direct the plan administrator to purchase shares in the open market in connection with our implementation of the plan. The number of shares to be issued to a holder of common stock is determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such holder of common stock by ninety-five percent (95%) of the market price per share of common stock at the close of regular trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the valuation date fixed by the Board for such distribution. Market price per share of common stock on that date will be the closing price for such shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market or, if no sale is reported for such day, at the average of their reported bid and asked prices. The number of shares to be outstanding after giving effect to payment of the distribution cannot be established until the value per share at which additional shares will be issued has been determined and elections of our holders of common stock have been tabulated.
There will be no brokerage charges or other charges to common stockholders who participate in the Amended DRIP. The plan administrator’s fees will be paid by us. If a participant elects by written notice to the plan administrator to have the plan administrator sell part or all of the common shares held by the plan administrator in the participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the plan administrator is authorized to deduct a $15.00 transaction fee plus a $0.10 per common share brokerage commission from the proceeds.
Holders of common stock who receive distributions in the form of stock are subject to the same U.S. federal tax consequences as are holders of common stock who elect to receive their distributions in cash; however, since their cash distributions will be reinvested, such holders of common stock will not receive cash with which to pay any applicable taxes on reinvested distributions. A holder of common stock’s basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of stock received in a distribution from us will be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the holder of common stock. Any stock received in a distribution will have a new holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares are credited to the U.S. holder of common stock’s account.
Participants may terminate their accounts under the Amended DRIP by notifying the plan administrator via its website at www.amstock.com, by filling out the transaction request form located at the bottom of their statement and sending it to the plan administrator. Such termination will be effective immediately if the participant’s notice is received by the plan administrator not less than 10 days prior to any distribution record date; otherwise, such termination will be effective only with respect to any subsequent distribution. The Amended DRIP may be terminated by us upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any distribution by us. All correspondence concerning the Amended DRIP should be directed to the plan administrator by mail to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, New York 10269, or by the plan administrator’s Interactive Voice Response System at (800) 937-5449.
If a common stockholder withdraws or the plan is terminated, such common stockholder will receive the number of whole shares in their account under the plan and a cash payment for any fraction of a share in their account.
If a common stockholder holds shares with a brokerage firm that does not participate in the plan, such common stockholder will not be able to participate in the plan and any distribution reinvestment may be effected on different terms than those described above. Consult your financial advisor for more information.
During fiscal year 2023, the Amended DRIP was suspended in connection with the Board’s declaration of distributions payable in cash and common stock. See Note 9 in the Notes to the Financial Statements for more information.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
On June 1, 2023, our Board, including a majority of Directors who are not “interested persons” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), unanimously voted to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement at a virtual meeting. In reliance upon certain exemptive relief granted by the SEC in connection with the global COVID-19 pandemic, our Board undertook to ratify the Investment Advisory Agreement at its next in-person meeting. In reaching a decision to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed a significant amount of information, including reports prepared by third parties and the management of the Company, as well as information prepared by OFS Advisor in response to an information request sent by the Company on behalf of the Board. The Board engaged in a detailed discussion of the materials with OFS Advisor’s management and relevant third parties. The Board then considered and concluded, among other things:
The nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services to be provided to us by OFS Advisor, including the responses in a questionnaire regarding OFS Advisor’s investment process and OFS Advisor’s policies and guidelines currently in place to monitor and manage the risk and volatility associated with the Company’s portfolio, and the qualifications and abilities of the professional personnel of OFS Advisor and the compensation structure for such personnel, and concluded that such services are satisfactory;
The investment performance of OFS Advisor, and concluded that the investment performance of OFS Advisor was reasonable;
Comparative data with respect to advisory fees or similar expenses paid by other management investment companies with similar investment objectives, and concluded that the total advisory fees paid by the Company to OFS Advisor were reasonable;
Our projected operating expenses and expense ratio compared to management investment companies with similar investment objectives, and concluded that our projected operating expenses were reasonable;
Any existing and potential sources of indirect income to OFS Advisor from their relationship with the Company and the profitability of that relationship, and concluded that OFS Advisor’s profitability was not excessive with respect to us;
The services to be performed and the personnel performing such services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and concluded that the services to be performed and the personnel performing such services were satisfactory;
The organizational capability and financial condition of OFS Advisor and its affiliates, and concluded that the organizational capability and financial condition of OFS Advisor were reasonable; and
The possibility of obtaining similar services from other third-party service providers or through an internally managed structure, and concluded that our current externally managed structure with OFS Advisor as our investment advisor was satisfactory.
Based on the information reviewed and the discussions detailed above, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, concluded that the fees payable to OFS Advisor pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement were reasonable, and comparable to the fees paid by other management investment companies with similar investment objectives, in relation to the services to be provided. The Board did not assign relative weights to the above factors or the other factors considered by it. Individual members of the Board may have given different weights to different factors.

The Board of Directors
We have three classes of directors, currently consisting of one Class I director, two Class II directors and two Class III directors. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors are elected for a full term of three years to succeed those whose terms are expiring. The terms of the three classes are staggered in a manner so that only one class is elected by stockholders annually.
The Board currently consists of five members, Messrs. Rashid and Cerny, Catherine M. Fitta, Kathleen M. Griggs and Romita Shetty. The term of one class expires each year. The terms of Ms. Griggs and Mr. Cerny expire at the 2024 annual meeting, the term of Mr. Rashid expires at the 2025 annual meeting and the terms of Ms. Shetty and Ms. Fitta expire at the 2026 annual meeting. Mses. Shetty and Griggs also serve as preferred stock directors. Subsequently, each class of directors will stand for election at the conclusion of its respective term. Such classification may prevent replacement of a majority of the directors for up to a two-year period.

Conflicts of Interest
Subject to certain 1940 Act restrictions on co-investments with affiliates, OFS Advisor will offer us the right to participate in investment opportunities that it determines are appropriate for us in view of our investment objective, policies and strategies
57


and other relevant factors. Such offers will be subject to the exception that, in accordance with OFS Advisor’s allocation policy, we might not participate in each individual opportunity but will, on an overall basis, be entitled to participate fairly and equitably over time with other entities managed by OFS Advisor and its affiliates.
To the extent that we compete with entities managed by OFS Advisor or any of its affiliates for a particular investment opportunity, OFS Advisor will allocate investment opportunities across the entities for which such opportunities are appropriate, consistent with (i) its internal allocation policy, (ii) the requirements of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and (iii) certain restrictions under the 1940 Act and rules thereunder regarding co-investments with affiliates. OFS Advisor’s allocation policy is intended to ensure that we may generally share fairly and equitably with other investment funds or other investment vehicles managed by OFS Advisor or its affiliates in investment opportunities that OFS Advisor determines are appropriate for us in view of our investment objective, policies and strategies and other relevant factors, particularly those involving a security with limited supply or involving differing classes of securities of the same issuer that may be suitable for us and such other investment funds or other investment vehicles. Under this allocation policy, if two or more investment vehicles with similar or overlapping investment strategies are in their investment periods, an available opportunity will be allocated based on the provisions governing allocations of such investment opportunities in the relevant organizational, offering or similar documents, if any, for such investment vehicles. In the absence of any such provisions, OFS Advisor will consider the 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 investment vehicles;
the status of tax restrictions and tests and other regulatory restrictions and tests;
risk and return portfolio 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.
When not relying on exemptive relief from the SEC that permits us to co-invest in portfolio companies with certain other funds managed by OFS Advisor and certain of its affiliates (“Affiliated Funds”) provided we comply with certain conditions (the “Order”), priority as to opportunities will generally be given to clients that are in their “ramp-up” period, or the period during which the account has yet to reach sufficient scale such that its investment income covers its operating expenses, over the accounts that are outside their ramp-up period but still within their investment or re-investment periods. However, application of one or more of the factors listed above, or other factors determined to be relevant or appropriate, may result in the allocation of an investment opportunity to a fund no longer in its ramp-up period over a fund that is still within its ramp-up period.
In situations where co-investment with Affiliated Accounts (as defined below) is not permitted or appropriate, such as when there is an opportunity to invest in different securities of the same issuer, OFS Advisor will need to decide which account will proceed with the investment. The decision by OFS Advisor to allocate an opportunity to another entity could cause us to forego an investment opportunity that we otherwise would have made. These restrictions, and similar restrictions that limit our ability to transact business with our officers or directors or their affiliates, may limit the scope of investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to us.
Co-Investment With Affiliates. In certain instances, we may co-invest on a concurrent basis with other accounts managed by the Advisor or certain of its affiliates, subject to compliance with applicable regulations and regulatory guidance and our written allocation procedures. On August 4, 2020, we received our existing Order, which superseded a previous order that we received on October 12, 2016, and provides us with greater flexibility to enter into co-investment transactions with certain Affiliated Funds in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with certain conditions. We are generally permitted to co-invest with Affiliated Funds if, under the terms of our existing Order, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that: (1) the terms of the transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned; and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our investment objective and strategies.
In addition, we may file an application for an amendment to our existing Order to permit us to participate in follow-on investments in our existing portfolio companies with certain private funds that do not hold any investments in such existing portfolio companies. However, if filed, there is no guarantee that such application will be granted.
58


The staff of the SEC has granted no-action relief permitting purchases of a single class of privately placed securities provided that the adviser negotiates no term other than price and certain other conditions are met. As a result, unless under the Order, we only expect to co-invest on a concurrent basis with certain funds advised by OFS Advisor when each of us will own the same securities of the issuer and when no term is negotiated other than price, subject to compliance with existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations and OFS Advisor’s allocation policy. If opportunities arise that 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 will need to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. The decision by OFS Advisor to allocate an opportunity to another entity could cause us to forego an investment opportunity that we otherwise would have made. Moreover, except in certain circumstances, we will be unable to invest in any issuer in which another fund advised by OFS Advisor has previously invested.
Conflicts Related to Purchases and Sales. Conflicts may arise when we make an investment in conjunction with an investment being made by another account managed by OFS Advisor or an affiliate of OFS Advisor (each, an “Affiliated Account”), or in a transaction where an Affiliated Account has already made an investment. Investment opportunities are, from time to time, appropriate for more than one account in the same, different or overlapping securities of a portfolio company’s capital structure. Conflicts arise in determining the terms of investments, particularly where these accounts may invest in different types of securities in a single portfolio company. Questions arise as to whether payment obligations and covenants should be enforced, modified or waived, or whether debt should be restructured, modified or refinanced.
We may invest in debt and other securities of companies in which an Affiliated Account holds those same securities or different securities, including equity securities. In the event that such investments are made by us, our interests will at times conflict with the interests of such Affiliated Accounts, particularly in circumstances where the underlying company is facing financial distress. Decisions about what action should be taken, particularly in troubled situations, raise conflicts of interest, including, among other things, whether or not to enforce claims, whether or not to advocate or initiate a restructuring or liquidation inside or outside of bankruptcy, and the terms of any work-out or restructuring. The involvement of Affiliated Accounts at both the equity and debt levels could inhibit strategic information exchanges among fellow creditors, including among us or Affiliated Accounts. In certain circumstances, we or an Affiliated Account may be prohibited from exercising voting or other rights and may be subject to claims by other creditors with respect to the subordination of their interest.
In the event that we or an Affiliated Account has a controlling or significantly influential position in a portfolio company, that account may have the ability to elect some or all of the board of directors of such a portfolio company, thereby controlling the policies and operations of such portfolio company, including the appointment of management, future issuances of securities, payment of dividends, incurrence of debt and entering into extraordinary transactions. In addition, a controlling account is likely to have the ability to determine, or influence, the outcome of operational matters and to cause, or prevent, a change in control of such company. Such management and operational decisions may, at times, be in direct conflict with other accounts that have invested in the same portfolio company that do not have the same level of control or influence over the portfolio company.
If additional capital is necessary as a result of financial or other difficulties, or to finance growth or other opportunities, the accounts may or may not provide such additional capital, and if provided each account will supply such additional capital in such amounts, if any, as determined by OFS Advisor. In addition, a conflict arises in allocating an investment opportunity if the potential investment target could be acquired by us, an Affiliated Account, or a portfolio company of an Affiliated Account. Investments by more than one account of OFS Advisor or its affiliates in a portfolio company also raise the risk of using assets of an account of OFS Advisor or its affiliates to support positions taken by other accounts of OFS Advisor or its affiliates, or that an account may remain passive in a situation in which it is entitled to vote. In addition, there may be differences in timing of entry into, or exit from, a portfolio company for reasons such as differences in strategy, existing portfolio or liquidity needs, different account mandates or fund differences, or different securities being held. These variations in timing may be detrimental to us.
The application of our or an Affiliated Account’s governing documents and the policies and procedures of OFS Advisor are expected to vary based on the particular facts and circumstances surrounding each investment by two or more accounts, in particular when those accounts are in different classes of an issuer’s capital structure (as well as across multiple issuers or borrowers within the same overall capital structure) and, as such, there may be a degree of variation and potential inconsistencies, in the manner in which potential or actual conflicts are addressed.

An investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act has a fiduciary duty to act solely in the best interests of its clients. As part of this duty, 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)-6 under, the Advisers Act.

Proxy Policies
73


Based on the nature of the Company’s investment strategy, we do not expect to receive proxy proposals but may from time to time receive amendments, consents or resolutions applicable to investments held by the Company. It is our general policy to exercise our voting or consult authority in a manner that serves the interests of the Company’s stockholders. We may occasionally be subject to material conflicts of interest in voting proxies due to business or personal relationships we maintain with persons having an interest in the outcome of certain votes. If at any time we become aware of a material conflict of interest relating to a particular proxy proposal, our CCO will review the proposal and determine how to vote the proxy in a manner consistent with interests of the Company’s stockholders.
Proxy Voting Records
Information regarding how we voted proxies relating to the Company’s portfolio securities is available: (1) without charge, upon request, by calling collect (847) 734-2000; and (2) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. You may also obtain information about how we voted proxies by making a written request for proxy voting information to: OFS Capital Management, LLC, 10 S. Wacker Drive, Suite 2500, Chicago, IL 60606.

Item 13. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
The management of the Company’s investment portfolio is the responsibility of OFS Advisor and its investment committees (the “Advisor Investment Committees”). The Advisor Investment Committees, including the Structured Credit Investment Committee of OFS Advisor (the “Structured Credit Investment Committee”), are responsible for the overall asset allocation decisions and the evaluation and approval of investments by the Company.
The purpose of the Structured Credit Investment Committee is to evaluate and approve our prospective investments, subject at all times to the oversight of our Board. The Structured Credit Investment Committee, which is comprised of Richard Ressler (Chairman), Jeffrey Cerny, Bilal Rashid, Glen Ostrander and Kenneth A. Brown, is responsible for the evaluation and approval of all the investments we make. The members of the senior investment team of OFS Advisor (the “Senior Investment Team”) are our portfolio managers and are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the portfolio. The Senior Investment Team is supported by a team of analysts and investment professionals.
The process employed by the Advisor Investment Committees, including the Structured Credit Investment Committee, is intended to bring the diverse experience and perspectives of the committees’ members to the investment process. The Structured Credit Investment Committee serves to provide investment consistency and adherence to our core investment philosophy and policies. The Structured Credit Investment Committee also determines appropriate investment sizing and implements ongoing monitoring requirements of our investments.
In addition to reviewing investments, the meetings of the Structured Credit Investment Committee serve as a forum to discuss credit views and outlooks. Potential transactions and deal flow are reviewed on a regular basis. Members of OFS Advisor’s investment team are encouraged to share information and views on credits with members of the Structured Credit Investment Committee early in their analysis. We believe this process improves the quality of the analysis and assists the investment professionals in working efficiently.
None of the members of the Senior Investment Team or the Structured Credit Investment Committee is employed by us or receives any direct compensation from us although some allocated compensation could be borne under the Administration Agreement by certain of those individuals in their capacity under such Administration Agreement. Certain Senior Investment Team members have ownership and financial interests in, and may receive compensation and/or profit distributions from, Orchard First Source Asset Management Holdings, LLC (“OFSAM Holdings”), an affiliate of OFS Advisor, and/or its subsidiaries. These individuals receive compensation from OFS Advisor that includes an annual base salary, an annual discretionary bonus and a portion of the distributions made by OFS Advisor, a portion of which may relate to the incentive fee earned by OFS Advisor in connection with its services to us.

I.GENERAL (CODE OF ETHICS)
A.INTRODUCTION

The Code of Ethics (“Code”) has been jointly adopted by OFS Capital Management, OFS CLO Management, LLC and OFS CLO Management II, LLC (collectively, “OFS Adviser” or the "Firm”) and certain entities that are controlled by or under common control with OFS Adviser (“Affiliates”), as determined from time to time by Senior Management, and each of OFS Capital Corporation, Hancock Park Corporate Income, Inc., OFS Credit Company, Inc. and any investment company that OFS Adviser may sponsor and/or manage from time to time (each, an “OFS Fund” and collectively, “OFS Funds”) in order to establish applicable policies, guidelines and procedures that promote ethical practices and conduct by all Supervised Persons of OFS Adviser, including, but not limited to, certain employees, interns, consultants, temporary employees, principals and others designated by Compliance, and that prevent violations of applicable laws including the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers Act”) and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Company Act”).1 “Supervised Person” is defined as any director, officer, member or employee (or other person occupying similar status or performing similar functions) of OFS Adviser or any other person who provides investment advice on behalf of OFS Adviser and is subject to the supervision and control of OFS Adviser2. Unless instructed otherwise or approved by the Compliance Department, temporary employees and consultants will generally be deemed a Supervised Person if the employee’s or consultant’s work assignment or engagement exceeds ninety (90) calendar days. This Code is available to all Supervised Persons on OFS Adviser’s compliance portal. All Supervised Persons must read it carefully and certify at least annually (and at such other times that a Compliance Officer may request) that they have read and understand, and agree to abide by the Code.

The Code is designed to address conflicts of interest that may arise in an employee’s personal dealings as well as those on behalf of the Firm and its Advisory Clients3. The following policies comprise the Code and address certain of these conflicts:
the Personal Investment Policy,
image_13.jpg
1    The Code is adopted by OFS Adviser and each OFS Fund pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of each of Rules 204A-1 and 206(4)- 7 under the Advisers Act and Rules 17j-1 and 38a-1under the Company Act.
2    The Chief Compliance Officer or his/her designee may consider any director, officer, member, principal or employee, including, but not limited to, intern and temporary employees, of an Affiliate of OFS Adviser to be a Supervised Person of OFS Adviser if the Chief Compliance Officer determines that such person performs services for OFS Adviser, through any staffing or similar agreement, such that the person would constitute a Supervised Person if such person was a director, officer, member, employee, intern or temporary employee of OFS Adviser. The Compliance Department maintains a list of all such persons and whether each person is (1) a Supervised Person and (2) an Access Person and will notify each person of relevant requirements. The majority of OFS Adviser’s personnel are employees of Orchard First Source Capital, Inc., an Affiliate of OFS Adviser.
3    Advisory Client means any individual, group of individuals, partnership, trust, company or other investment fund entity for whom OFS Adviser acts as investment adviser. For example, any OFS Fund is an Advisory Client. For the avoidance of doubt, Advisory Clients include public and private investment funds, including comingled funds and single investor funds (“Funds”) and managed accounts managed by OFS Adviser, but do not include the underlying individual investors in such Funds (“Investors”), although certain protections afforded to Advisory Clients pursuant to this Code do extend to Investors through Rule 206(4)-8 of the Advisers Act.

B.STATEMENT OF STANDARDS OF BUSINESS CONDUCT
As a fundamental mandate, OFS Adviser and each OFS Fund demand the highest standards of ethical conduct and care from all Supervised Persons and OFS Fund Directors. Supervised Persons and OFS Fund Directors must abide by this basic business standard and must not take inappropriate advantage of their position with the Firm or OFS Fund. Each Supervised Person and OFS Fund Director is under a duty to exercise his or her authority and responsibility for the primary benefit of OFS Adviser’s Advisory Clients, including the OFS Funds, and the Firm, and may not have outside interests or engage in activities that inappropriately conflict or appear to conflict with the interests of the Firm or its Advisory Clients, including the OFS Funds. Examples of such conflicts include:

engaging a service provider on behalf of Advisory Clients or the Firm in which you or your Related Person has a financial interest;
accepting extravagant or frequent gifts or entertainment from a current or potential service provider to the Firm or OFS Fund;
making charitable contributions at the request of a prospective Advisory Client when the Advisory Client will directly benefit from such contribution;
contributing to the election campaign of a government official or candidate who has, or will have if elected, the authority to appoint pension plan board members who are responsible for selecting investment advisers for such pension plan;
knowingly purchasing an interest in a company or property that you know the Firm is targeting for investment; and
assuming an outside position with a company that competes directly with the Firm.

The above list of examples is not exhaustive, and you, as a Supervised Person or OFS Fund Director, are responsible for assessing the unique facts and circumstances of your activities for potential conflicts and consulting with OFS Adviser’s Legal and Compliance Departments prior to engaging in such activities.
Each Supervised Person and OFS Fund Director must avoid circumstances or conduct that adversely affect or that appear to adversely affect OFS Adviser or its Advisory Clients, including the OFS Funds. Every Supervised Person and OFS Fund Director must comply with applicable federal securities laws and must promptly report suspected violations of the Code to a Compliance Officer. OFS Adviser strictly prohibits retaliation against any individual reporting suspected violations, who, in good faith, seeks help or reports known or suspected violations, including Supervised Persons who

assist in making a report or who cooperate in an investigation (see Section I.E. Reporting and Sanctions).

(See Section III.)
7.No OFS Fund Director, except in the course of the rightful exercise of his or her board responsibilities, shall reveal to any other person information regarding any OFS Fund or any “Portfolio Company”, defined as any legal entity in which an OFS Fund or another Advisory Client holds an investment regardless of whether or not the investment is a Security, or any investment or Security transaction being considered, recommended, or executed on behalf of any other Advisory Client.

9.Subject to certain exceptions permitted by applicable law, each OFS Fund shall not, directly or indirectly extend, maintain or arrange for the extension of credit or the renewal of an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to any officer or director of the Fund. Any Supervised Person or person who serves as a director on the board of directors of any OFS Fund (“OFS Fund Director”) who becomes aware that their respective OFS Fund may be extending or arranging for the extension of credit to a director or officer, or person serving an equivalent function, should notify and consult with a Compliance Officer to ensure that the proposed extension of credit complies with this Code and the applicable law.

Security is “Being Considered for Purchase or Sale” when a recommendation to purchase or sell the Security has been made and communicated and, with respect to the person making the recommendation, when such person seriously considers making such a recommendation. In all cases, a Security which has been recommended for purchase or sale pursuant to an Investment Committee memorandum, presentation, due diligence package or other formal Investment Committee recommendation shall be deemed to be a Security Being Considered for Purchase or Sale.
12.Each Supervised Person shall complete a compliance questionnaire (the “Regulatory Compliance Disclosure”) prior to employment and/or becoming a Supervised Person and annually thereafter, within the prescribed deadline, as provided by the Compliance Department, (“Compliance Due Date”) through the Firm’s compliance portal. Each Supervised Person shall supplement the Regulatory Compliance Disclosure, as necessary, to reflect any material changes between annual disclosures filings, and must immediately notify Compliance if any of the conditions addressed in the Regulatory Compliance Disclosure become applicable to such Supervised Person.
13.Every Supervised Person must avoid any activity that might give rise to a question as to whether the Firm’s objectivity as a fiduciary has been compromised. (See Section V)
14.Access Persons are required to disclose to a Compliance Officer the existence of any account that has the ability to hold any Reportable Securities (e.g., brokerage or trading accounts and IRAs), as well the account’s holdings (immediately upon commencement of employment (which shall include the accounts and holdings of the Access Person’s Related Persons), and in no case later than ten (10) calendar days beyond the Access Person’s start date. Such Accounts must be disclosed even if they contain a zero balance or non-Reportable Securities. Access Persons are required to disclose accounts that are Managed Accounts; however, disclosing the holdings of such Managed Accounts is not required. With limited exceptions provided herein, Access Persons are also required to maintain Non-Managed Accounts capable of holding Reportable Securities with Approved Brokers, which have contracted to provide holdings and transaction reporting to the Compliance Department on the Firm’s compliance portal. Access Persons must confirm the accuracy and completeness of the information so provided to the Firm on a quarterly and annual basis by the Compliance Due Date. Initial and quarterly reports must disclose the existence of all accounts, even if none of those accounts at the time hold a Reportable Security. (See Section II).
15.The intentional creation, transmission or use of false rumors is inconsistent with the Firm’s commitment to high ethical standards and may violate the antifraud provisions of the Advisers Act, among other securities laws of the United States. Accordingly, no Supervised Person may maliciously create, disseminate or use false rumors. This

prohibition covers oral and written communications, including the use of electronic communication media such as e-mail, PIN messages, instant messages, tweets, text messages, blogs, and chat rooms. Because of the difficulty identifying “false” rumors, the Firm discourages Supervised Persons from creating, passing, or using any rumor.

C.PERIODIC COMPLIANCE REPORTING AND TRAINING
Each Supervised Person is required to complete all assigned compliance certifications, disclosures and trainings by the Compliance Due Date. Absent an exemption granted to you by a Compliance Officer, failure to complete such items by the Compliance Due Date will likely constitute a violation of this Code and may result in the imposition of sanctions.
The Compliance Department also presents and/or coordinates mandatory training on this Code at least -biennially, and may assign mandatory or voluntary training on the Code or other Firm policies at such other times as the Compliance Department deems appropriate. Failure to attend or complete mandatory training sessions, unless excused in writing by a Compliance Officer, will likely constitute a violation of this Code and may lead to the imposition of sanctions. The Compliance Department maintains an attendance or completion list, as appropriate, of all Supervised Persons assigned to such training sessions.
D.ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Each Supervised Person must certify upon commencement of employment, at least annually thereafter, and at such other times as a Compliance Officer may determine, that he or she has read, understands, is subject to and has complied with the Code. Any Supervised Person who has any questions about the applicability of the Code to a particular situation should promptly consult with a Compliance Officer.
E.REPORTING AND SANCTIONS
While compliance with the provisions of the Code is anticipated, Supervised Persons should be aware that, in response to any violations, the Firm (or any OFS Fund, as applicable) shall take any action deemed necessary under the circumstances including, but without limitation, the imposition of appropriate sanctions. These sanctions may include, among others, verbal or written warnings, the reversal of trades, reallocation of trades to client accounts, disgorgement of profits, suspension or termination of personal trading or investment privileges, reduction in bonus or bonus opportunity, payment of a monetary fine payable to a recognized charitable organization of the Supervised Person’s choice or, in more serious cases, suspension or termination of employment and/or the making of any civil or criminal referral to the appropriate governmental authorities.

Moreover, Supervised Persons are required to promptly report any violation(s) of this Code, any other compliance policies adopted by OFS Adviser or the Rule 38a-1 Manual adopted by any OFS Fund (collectively “Compliance Policies”), or any activity that may adversely affect the Firm’s or any

7

OFS Fund’s business or reputation, to a Compliance Officer. The Compliance Department shall maintain a record of all violations of the Code or other Compliance Policies and any corrective actions taken. Supervised Persons are encouraged to report any concerns or problem to their supervisor, however, OFS Adviser has also established a third-party confidential hotline that enables employees to report any incident on a confidential and anonymous basis. Reporting should be made through a letter to a Compliance Officer or via the telephonic and electronic reporting procedures detailed in the Firm’s “Whistleblower Hotline Information” attached hereto as Attachment A. Further, all activities reported by Supervised Persons will be treated anonymously and confidentially (to the extent reasonably practicable) in order to encourage Supervised Persons to come forward with perceived problems. The Firm and each OFS Fund are committed to a full, unbiased review of any matter(s) raised.
The Firm and OFS Fund prohibit retaliation against any such personnel who, in good faith, seeks help or reports known or suspected violations (even if the reported event is determined not to be a violation), including Supervised Persons who assist in making a report or who cooperate in an investigation. Any Supervised Person who engages in retaliatory conduct will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
F.ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS AND WAIVERS BY OFS ADVISER AND THE OFS FUNDS
From time to time, a Compliance Officer may determine that it is in the best interests of the Firm to subject certain Supervised Persons or other persons (i.e., consultants and third party service providers) to restrictions or requirements in addition to those set forth in the Code. In such cases, the affected persons will be notified of the additional restrictions or requirements and will be required to abide by them as if they were included in the Code. In addition, under extraordinary circumstances, a Compliance Officer may grant a waiver of certain of these restrictions or requirements contained in the Code on a case-by-case basis. In order for a Supervised Person to rely on any such waiver, it must be granted in writing.
Any waiver of the requirements of the Code for OFS Fund Officers or any OFS Fund Director may be made only by the respective OFS Fund’s board of directors or a committee of the board, and must be promptly disclosed to shareholders of the OFS Fund as required by law or relevant exchange rule or regulation.
The Compliance Department maintains a log of all requests for exceptions and waivers and the determinations made with respect to such requests.

G.REVIEW BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF EACH OFS FUND
The CCO will prepare a written report to be considered by the board of directors of each OFS Fund (1) quarterly, that identifies any violations of the Code with respect to each OFS Fund requiring significant remedial action during the past quarter and the nature of that remedial action; and (2) annually, that (a) describes any issues arising under the Code since the last written report to the Board,

including, but not limited to, information about material violations of the Code and sanctions imposed in response to such violations, and (b) identifies any recommended changes in existing restrictions or procedures based upon each OFS Fund’s and/or OFS Adviser’s experience under the Code, then- prevailing industry practices, or developments in applicable laws or regulations, and (c) certifies that each OFS Fund and OFS Adviser have each adopted procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Code, and of the federal securities laws in accordance with the requirements of the Advisers Act and the Company Act.
The board of directors of each OFS Fund will also be asked to approve any material changes to the Code within six (6) months after the adoption of such change, based on a determination that the Code, as amended, contains policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the federal securities laws.
H.CCO REPORTING
The CCO will prepare a written report to be considered by Senior Management no less than annually, that (a) describes any issues arising under the Code since the last written report, including, but not limited to, information about material violations of the Code and sanctions imposed in response to such violations, and (b) identifies any recommended changes in existing restrictions or procedures based upon OFS Adviser’s experience under the Code, then-prevailing industry practices, or developments in applicable laws or regulations.
The CCO of each OFS Fund, as applicable, prepares a written report to be considered by the relevant OFS Fund Directors no less than annually, that (a) describes any issues arising under the Compliance Policies since the last written report, including, but not limited to, information about material violations of the Compliance Policies and sanctions imposed in response to such violations, and (b) identifies any recommended changes in existing restrictions or procedures based upon each OFS Fund’s and/or OFS Adviser’s experience under the Compliance Policies, then-prevailing industry practices, or developments in applicable laws or regulations.
I.CCO AND COMPLIANCE OVERSIGHT
All requirements and prohibitions under this Code are likewise applicable to the CCO and all Compliance Department employees. For the purpose of addressing actual and perceived conflicts of interest and potential self-dealing, any report and pre-approval request submitted by such employees is to be reviewed, and approved as applicable, by the employee’s supervisor or the CCO. Reports and pre-approval requests from the CCO will be reviewed, and approved as applicable, by CIM’s Chief Legal Counsel (“CLC). Under no circumstances should the CCO or any Compliance Department employee review his/her own report or approve his/her own pre-approval request.

that a violation occurred, the CCO or employee will be subject to the applicable sanction(s) under the Code.
J.CONFIDENTIALITY
Personnel will be given access to and become acquainted with highly confidential information about the Firm such as its financial information, business plans and strategies, investment strategies and opportunities, affiliated companies and internal policies and practices, as well as information relating to past, current and prospective Advisory Clients and Portfolio Companies.

II.PERSONAL INVESTMENT POLICY

A.INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS
The Advisers Act, specifically Rule 204A-1, requires “Access Persons” of a registered investment adviser, such as OFS Adviser, to provide periodic reports regarding transactions and holdings in Reportable Securities beneficially owned by Access Persons. Rule 17j-1 under the Company Act requires similar reports for “Access Persons” to a Fund, such as each of the OFS Funds.
The purpose of this Personal Investment Policy and related procedures is to advise Access Persons of their ethical and legal responsibilities with respect to Securities transactions that may involve (i) possible conflicts of interest with Advisory Clients, including the OFS Funds, and (ii) the possession and use of material, nonpublic information (“MNPI”). It is a violation of the Code for any Access Person of OFS Adviser or any OFS Fund to use their knowledge concerning a trade, pending trade, or contemplated trade or investment by an OFS Fund or any other Advisory Client to profit personally, directly or indirectly, as a result of such transaction, including by purchasing or selling such Securities.
The following definitions are utilized within this Personal Investments Policy and more broadly within the rest of the Code.
“Access Person” with respect to OFS Adviser means (a) any Supervised Person who (i) has access to nonpublic information regarding any Advisory Client’s purchase or sale of Securities, or nonpublic information regarding the portfolio holdings of any Advisory Client (including any OFS Fund); or (ii) is involved in making Securities recommendations to Advisory Clients (including any OFS Fund), or has access to such recommendations that are nonpublic; and (b) all directors, officers and partners of OFS Adviser.5
For purposes of the Code, all Supervised Persons are generally considered to be Access Persons of OFS Adviser, and all Access Persons of OFS Adviser are considered to be Access Persons of each OFS Fund. OFS Fund Disinterested Directors are also considered Access Persons of each OFS Fund but are generally exempt from Recordkeeping, Reporting and Statement of Restrictions requirements of Access Persons included in this Code, except as described in Section II.D below.
“Affiliate Account” means: (i) the personal Securities account of an Access Person or the account of any Related Person in which Reportable Securities may be held or transacted; (ii) any such Securities account for which any Access Person serves as custodian, trustee, or otherwise acts in a fiduciary
image_13.jpg
5    The Chief Compliance Officer or his/her designee may consider any director, officer, principal, member or employee, including, but not limited to, intern and temporary employees, of an Affiliate of OFS Adviser to be a Supervised Person, and Access Person if appropriate, of OFS Adviser if the Chief Compliance Officer determines that such person performs services for OFS Adviser, through any staffing or similar agreement, such that the person would constitute a Supervised Person or Access Person if such person was a director, officer, member, principal or employee, including an intern or temporary employee, of OFS Adviser. The Compliance Department will maintain a list of all such persons and whether each person is (1) a Supervised Person and (2) an Access Person and will notify each person of relevant requirements. The majority of OFS Adviser’s personnel are employees of Orchard First Source Capital, Inc., an Affiliate of OFS Adviser.

capacity or with respect to which an Access Person either has authority to make investment decisions or from time to time makes investment recommendations, except with respect to Advisory Clients; (iii) any such Securities account of any person, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity in which an Access Person or his or her Related Person has Beneficial Ownership or other Beneficial Interest; and (iv) and accounts containing Reportable Funds of which an Access Person or his or her Related Person has Beneficial Ownership or Beneficial Interest.
“Beneficial Interest” means an interest whereby a person can, directly or indirectly, control the disposition of a Security or a Reportable Fund or derive a monetary, pecuniary or other right or benefit from the purchase, sale or ownership of a Security or a Reportable Fund (e.g., interest payments or dividends).
“Beneficial Ownership” of a Security, Reportable Fund or account means, consistent with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 16a- 1(a)(2) thereunder, ownership of Securities, Securities accounts, or Reportable Funds by or for the benefit of a person or his or her Related Person. Beneficial Ownership specifically includes any Security or account in which the Access Person or any Related Persons holds a direct or indirect Beneficial Interest or retains voting power (or the ability to direct such a vote) or investment power (which includes the power to acquire or dispose of, or the ability to direct the acquisition or disposition of, a Security, Securities accounts or Reportable Funds), directly or indirectly (e.g., by exercising a power of attorney or otherwise).
“Exempt Security” is any Security that falls into any of the following categories: (i) shares issued by open-end mutual funds (excluding exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), except Reportable Funds, if any; (ii) shares issued by money market funds; (iii) Security purchases or sales that are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment plan (e.g., DRIP accounts, etc.); (iv) College Direct Savings Plans (e.g., 529 College Savings Program, etc.); (v) shares issued by unit investment trusts that are invested exclusively in one or more open-end funds (so long as such funds are not Reportable Funds); (vi) bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit or time deposits, commercial paper and other short term high quality debt instruments with one year or less to maturity; and (vii) treasury obligations (e.g., T-bills, notes and bonds) or other Securities issued/guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, or instrumentalities (e.g., FNMA, GNMA).
“Related Person” means the spouse, domestic partner, child or stepchild, parent or stepparent, grandchild, grandparent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in- law, sister-in-law (including adoptive relationships) of an Access Person, who either resides with, or is financially dependent upon, the Access Person, or whose investments are controlled by the Access Person.
“Reportable Fund” means any Fund for which OFS Advisor or any Affiliate acts as investment adviser, sub-adviser, or underwriter.

“Reportable Security” means every Security and Reportable Fund in which an Access Person or a Related Person has a Beneficial Ownership or other Beneficial Interest, except for an Exempt Security.
“Security” means any note, stock, treasury stock, bond, debenture, Blockchain ETFs, evidence of indebtedness6, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, reorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option or privilege on any security (including a certificate of deposit) or on any group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or a put, call, straddle, option or privilege, entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a “security,” or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.
Note that Security has a different definition for purposes of the Inside Information Policy of the
Code.
B.RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

Under the Advisers Act and the Company Act, OFS Adviser and each OFS Fund are required to keep records of transactions in Reportable Securities in which Access Persons have Beneficial Ownership or a direct or indirect Beneficial Interest.
1.Reporting Requirements
The following personal Securities holdings and transaction reporting requirements have been adopted to enable each of OFS Adviser and each OFS Fund to satisfy their legal and regulatory requirements:
In all cases, within ten (10) calendar days from the date of commencement of employment (or other engagement or arrangement) with the Firm, every new Access Person shall submit to the Compliance Department, through the Firm’s compliance portal, the required information about any Affiliated Accounts (such information must be current as of a date no more than forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the date the person becomes an Access Person);
Within sixty (60) calendar days of becoming an Access Person, every new Access Person must transfer all Affiliated Accounts in which the Access Person or his or her
image_13.jpg
6    Note that, for most purposes, evidences of indebtedness are treated as “Securities” for securities law purposes; insider trading prohibitions are an     exception to this general rule.

13

Related Persons have direct influence or control in the investment decisions (“Non- Managed Accounts”) and in which Reportable Securities are held or are capable of being held to a broker-dealer to which the Compliance Department has access via the Firm’s compliance portal (an “Approved Broker”). Subsequently, any new Non- Managed Accounts opened on behalf of such Access Person or his or her Related Person in which Reportable Securities will be held or transacted must be established with an Approved Broker. The Compliance Department maintains a list of Approved Brokers, which can be found on the Firm’s compliance portal site. Holdings and transactions in Reportable Securities in these accounts are electronically reported to the Compliance Department by the Approved Brokers through the compliance portal.
Any exception to the Approved Broker policy above must be approved in writing by a Compliance Officer.
By the Compliance Due Date and no later than thirty (30) calendar days after each quarter end, every Access Person is required to certify all Affiliated Accounts via the Firm’s compliance portal. Any updates to an Access Person’s accounts must be reported via the Firm’s compliance portal within thirty (30) calendar days of opening or closing of such Affiliated Account.
By the Compliance Due Date and no later than thirty (30) calendar days after each quarter end, every Access Person is required to certify via the Firm’s compliance portal, all transactions in Reportable Securities in Non-Managed Accounts, as recorded by the system during the quarter. Any transactions in Reportable Securities in a Non-Managed Account not included within the Firm’s compliance portal should be reported separately by the Access Person.
By the Compliance Due Date and no later than forty-five (45) calendar days following the end of each calendar year (i.e., February 14), every Access Person is required to certify, via the Firm’s compliance portal, such Access Person’s Affiliated Accounts and Reportable Securities holdings in all Non-Managed Accounts as of year- end. Any holdings in Reportable Securities in a Non-Managed Account not included within the Firm’s compliance portal should be reported separately by the Access Person.
2.Determining Whether an Account is an Affiliated Account
In most cases, determining whether an Access Person or his or her Related Person has Beneficial Ownership of or a Beneficial Interest in the Reportable Securities held in an account (which would make such account an Affiliated Account for purposes hereof) is a straight-forward process. It is, however, important to note that, in some cases, an owner of an equity interest in an entity may be

14
Page -14-

considered to have Beneficial Ownership of the assets of that entity. In general, equity holders are not deemed to have Beneficial Ownership of Securities held by an entity that is not “controlled” by the equity holders or in which the equity holders do not have or share investment control over the entity’s portfolio. Because the determination of whether an equity holder controls an entity or its investment decisions can be complicated, Access Persons are encouraged to seek guidance from a Compliance Officer. To the extent such guidance is not sought, any failure by an Access Person to properly identify all Affiliated Accounts will be treated as a violation of the Code.
3.Managed Accounts
The Firm recognizes that it may be impossible or impractical for accounts that are controlled or invested on a fully discretionary basis by a third party, such as an investment adviser or broker (“Managed Accounts”), to comply with the Reporting and Restricted List procedures of the Code. Therefore, Managed Accounts are exempted from such procedures, provided that the Access Person cedes any and all control over investment decisions for the account (other than general asset class and objectives guidelines) to such third party and does not communicate with such person with respect to individual transactions for the account. Special rules apply with respect to whether an Access Person “controls” the investment decisions of an entity in which he or she invests; guidance from a Compliance Officer should be sought in such instances.
The Firm requires that general information regarding Managed Accounts, including broker, account title, account number, and the status of the account, be reported through the Firm’s compliance portal. In order to properly establish a Managed Account, the Access Persons is required to provide to the Compliance Department evidence that full investment discretion has been provided to the third-party investment adviser or broker (e.g., provide the investment management agreement). Upon establishing a Managed Account in the Firm’s compliance portal and quarterly thereafter, the Access Person is required to certify within the Firm’s compliance portal that he or she does not participate, directly or indirectly in individual investment decisions in the Managed Account or be made aware of such decisions before transactions are executed.
4.Non-Transferable Accounts
The Firm recognizes that it may be impossible or impracticable for certain types of Non- Managed Accounts (e.g. 401(k) accounts) of Access Persons or their Related Persons with other employers, or an account pledged to secure a personal loan, etc. to be transferred to an Approved Broker. A Compliance Officer may exempt any such Non-Managed Account from the Approved Broker procedures set forth above provided that the Access Person shall be responsible for reporting transactions and holdings of Reportable Securities (e.g. employer shares) in such account as set forth above and complying with the Restricted List procedures with respect to such Non-Managed Accounts.
The Firm requires that all such “non-transferable” Non-Managed Accounts be reported to the Compliance Department so that an exemption may properly be granted. General information regarding

15

such accounts must be reported through the Firm’s compliance portal. A Compliance Officer may, as a condition to exempting such Affiliated Accounts, require, initially and periodically thereafter, copies of account statements, a certification from the Access Person, or such other information as such Compliance Officer deems prudent.

5.Transactions Subject to Review
Transactions and holding information reported via the Firm’s compliance portal will be reviewed by a Compliance Officer and compared against the investments made or considered by each of the Advisory Clients. Such review and comparison are designed to evaluate compliance with the Code and further, to determine whether there have been any violations of applicable law. Reporting made by a Compliance Officer is reviewed by a different Compliance Officer so that no Compliance Officer is reviewing his or her own reporting.
C.STATEMENT OF RESTRICTIONS

1.Restricted List
No Access Person or Related Person may make a Personal Securities Trade in the Securities of an issuer, a Security whose performance tracks the performance of an issuer (e.g., single stock ETF) or Security that derives its value from the value of an issuer (e.g., futures, options, forwards and swaps) listed on the Firm’s Restricted List. Before an Access Person or his/her Related Person makes a Personal Securities Trade, the Access Person must review the Restricted List and confirm that the Security to be traded, the relevant issuer or underlying issuer of which a Security tracks or derives its performance are not listed thereon. The information that a particular issuer or Security has been placed on the Restricted List is itself sensitive and confidential. The contents of the Restricted List should never be communicated to persons outside of the Firm except in the limited circumstances in which a Compliance Officer has determined that it is necessary and appropriate to disclose such information for bona fide business purposes. The Firm may place an issuer or Security on the Restricted List at any time without prior notice to Access Persons. Therefore, Access Persons who obtain Securities of an issuer that is later placed on the Restricted List may be “frozen in,” or prohibited from disposing of such Securities, until the issuer has been removed from the Restricted List. Because Access Persons and their Related Persons are already required to submit a preclearance request and obtain pre-approval for the purchase of any Private Placement (see below), the Restricted List is limited to the Securities of issuers with a class of publicly-traded Securities.
The Firm understands that an Access Person recently joining the Firm as a new employee (“New Hire”), or their Related Persons, may be financially disadvantaged by being restricted from liquidating holdings of a Security of an issuer included on the Firm’s Restricted List (“Restricted List Security”). Therefore, under limited conditions and prior to his or her start date (i.e., the first day on which the New Hire begins working in his or her position with the Firm), a New Hire may request to place a liquidating trade in a Restricted List Security. As the New Hire will not have access to the Restricted List prior to
16

his or her start date, the New Hire must provide any potential securities to be liquidated to Compliance, and Compliance will respond as to whether the issuers of such securities are on the Restricted List. The request to liquidate must be made by the New Hire prior to his or her start date by completing the “Request to Place a Liquidating Trade in a Restricted Security” form, which can be obtained from Compliance. Compliance will review each request on a case-by-case basis and approve or deny the request, assessing all available and relevant information. If approved, specific conditions will be placed on the transaction (e.g., requirement to liquidate all shares within a certain number of days of the approval and prior to the New Hire’s start date).
Securities

The name of an issuer or Security could be placed on the Restricted List for many reasons, including when:

the Firm, any investment adviser Affiliate, or an Advisory Client purchases a Security of a particular issuer or such Security is a Security Being Considered for Purchase or Sale;
the Firm or any investment adviser Affiliate executes a confidentiality agreement with or relating to an issuer;
the Firm, any investment adviser Affiliate, or an Advisory Client has declared itself “Private” with respect to a public issuer via an electronic workspace;
the Firm becomes bound by a fiduciary obligation or other duty (for example, because an Access Person has become a board member of an issuer);
an Access Person becomes a member of an issuer’s board on behalf of the Firm or a Portfolio Company;
an Access Person becomes aware of (or is likely to become aware of) MNPI about a Security or issuer;
A public reporting company’s financial statements take into account the revenue stream of an issuer in which the Firm’s Advisory Clients intend to invest or are invested; or
the Firm, as determined by a Compliance Officer, has determined to include an issuer to avoid the appearance of impropriety and protect the Firm’s reputation for integrity and ethical conduct.
Procedures
The Compliance Department maintains and updates the Firm’s Restricted List. It is the responsibility of Access Persons, however, to ensure that the Firm’s Restricted List is accurate. Please refer to the Confidentiality Policy for further information on the relevant procedures.
Additions: Access Persons who become aware of any of the circumstances set forth in subsection 1.a) above, or who for any other reason believe an issuer or Security should be added to the Restricted List, should immediately notify a Compliance
17

Officer to ensure that the Restricted List is updated.
Deletions: When the circumstances set forth in subsection 1.a) above no longer exist, or the Firm is no longer bound by the obligations giving rise to the inclusion of an issuer or Security on the Restricted List, Access Persons should notify a Compliance Officer so that the proposed removal can be assessed and the name of the issuer or Security can be promptly removed, as necessary, from the Restricted List.
Changes: From time to time, the Compliance Department will update the Restricted List as contemplated by this Personal Investment Policy and the Confidentiality Policy. Access Persons are responsible for checking the Restricted List in all cases before engaging in any Personal Securities Trade.
Generally, Securities that are on the Restricted List because OFS Adviser or an investment adviser Affiliate has entered into a confidentiality agreement, declared itself “private” or otherwise accessed MNPI with respect to a public issuer, must stay on the list for at least one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the applicable Advisory Client(s) have liquidated the holding or last accessed MNPI on the relevant Security or issuer of such Security. A Compliance Officer may determine that a longer or shorter “stay” period is appropriate for issuers or Securities in such Compliance Officer’s sole discretion.
2.Private Placements, Initial Public Offerings and Initial Coin Offerings

No IPO, ICO or Private Placement may be purchased for any Affiliated Account, except with the prior, express written approval of (i) a Compliance Officer; or (ii) where such Access Person is the CCO, the prior written approval of the Chief Legal Officer. Requests to make such investments shall be made through the Firm’s compliance portal. A record of such approval (or denial), and a brief description of the reasoning supporting such decision will be maintained in accordance with the recordkeeping requirements of the Advisers Act and the Company Act.
3.Trades by OFS Funds Directors
OFS Funds Directors are prohibited from trading any OFS Funds Portfolio Security.
4.Trades of OFS Funds Securities or other Affiliated Securities
No Access Person may, for direct or indirect personal or a Related Person’s benefit, donate or transact in an affiliated security, including, but not limited to, OFS Funds, CIM Real Assets and Credit Fund, Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation (CMCT) and CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (CMFT), except with the prior, express written approval of a Compliance Officer. Such approval will generally be granted only during an open trading window. All approved transactions or contributions must be completed within three (3) business days from the date of approval, but before the close of any applicable trading window. If the approved transaction or contribution is not completed within three (3) business days, the Access Person must seek a new preapproval from a Compliance Officer.

Trades by Access Persons Serving on Company Boards
Companies for which Access Persons serve on the board of directors may permit members of its board of directors to purchase or sell stock based on a predetermined schedule (such as a Rule 10b5- 1 Plan7) that is approved by the company (“Predetermined Schedule”). Personal Securities Trades made in accordance with a Predetermined Schedule by Access Persons who serve on the board of directors of such companies are exempt from the restriction against trading in Securities added to the Restricted List after the adoption of the Predetermined Schedule, however such Predetermined Schedules are subject to the prior notice to a Compliance Officer prior to making the trade and are subject to the reporting requirements set forth in the section above. Further, purchases and sales of Securities by such company’s directors during an established trading window may be permitted with prior notice to, and at the discretion of, a Compliance Officer.
5.No Personal Trades Through OFS Adviser’s Traders
No Personal Securities Trades may be effected through OFS Adviser’s trading personnel.
6.Use of Brokerage for Personal or Family Benefit
No Access Person may, for direct or indirect personal or a Related Persons benefit, execute a trade with a broker by using the influence (actual or implied) of OFS Adviser or any Access Person’s influence (actual or implied) with OFS Adviser.
7.No “Front Running”
Front running is the illegal practice of purchasing a Security based on advance non-public information. Personal Securities Trades based on insider knowledge or ahead of anticipated OFS Advisory Client transactions are prohibited. No Personal Securities Trade may be executed by any Access Persons or Related Persons who are aware, or should be aware, that:
(i)there is a pending buy or sell order in the Securities of that same issuer for any Advisory Client of OFS Adviser, or
(ii)a purchase or sale of the Securities of that same issuer can reasonably be anticipated for an OFS Adviser Advisory Client in the next five (5) calendar days.

8.Short Sale Transactions
No Access Person or Related Person may enter into a short sale transaction or any transaction that has the same economic effect (e.g., inverse single stock ETF, short common stock, purchase a put option or sell a naked call option) on any Security of an issuer for which a position is held long by an Advisory Client. A list of public issuers for which a position is held long by the Firm’s Advisory Clients (“Client Securities List”) is maintained by Compliance and available via the Firm’s compliance portal. Before an Access Person or his/her Related Person makes a short sale transaction, the Access Person must review the Client Securities List and confirm that the issuer of such Security is listed thereon. The fact that a particular issuer has been placed on the Client Securities List is itself sensitive and confidential. The contents of the Clients Securities List should never be communicated to persons outside of the Firm, except in limited circumstances in which a Compliance Officer has determined that it is necessary and appropriate to disclose such information for bona fide business purposes. The Firm may place an issuer on the Client Securities List at any time without prior notice to Access Persons.
9.Acquiring Five (5) Percent or more of a Publicly Traded Company
Access Persons are required to report to a Compliance Officer, via the Firm’s compliance portal, any ownership exceeding 5% of a class of equity securities of a publicly traded company that they or their Related Persons or Family Members have a beneficial interest in.

D.REQUIREMENTS OF DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS
The Recordkeeping, Reporting, and Statement of Restrictions provisions listed above (except those in Section II(C)(3-4) do not apply to any OFS Fund Director who is not an interested person of any OFS Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Company Act (“Disinterested Directors”) of each of the OFS Funds, except as the following describes. A Disinterested Director need only report a transaction if, at the time of a Personal Securities Trade in a Reportable Security, the Disinterested Director knew, or, in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or her duties as a director, should have known that during the fifteen (15) day period immediately preceding or after the date of the transaction, their OFS Fund purchased or sold the Security or the Security was Being Considered for Purchase or Sale by their OFS Fund or OFS Adviser.

7        A Rule 10b5-1 plan is a written plan for trading Securities that is designed in accordance with Rule 105-1(c). Any person executing pre-planned transactions pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan that was established in good faith at a time when that person was unaware of material nonpublic information has an affirmative defense against accusations of insider trading, even if actual trades made pursuant to the plan are executed at a time when the individual may be aware of material nonpublic information.

III.INSIDE INFORMATION POLICY


A.INTRODUCTION
The prohibitions against insider trading set forth in the federal securities laws play an essential role in maintaining the fairness, health, and integrity of our markets. These laws also establish fundamental standards of business conduct that govern our daily activities and help to ensure that Advisory Client’s trust and confidence are not compromised in any way. Consistent with these principles, OFS Adviser forbids any Supervised Person from (i) trading Securities for the Firm, any Advisory Client or any account in which a Supervised Person has a Beneficial Interest, if that Supervised Person is “aware” of material and nonpublic information (“MNPI” or “Inside Information”) concerning an issuer; or (ii) communicating MNPI to others in violation of the law. This conduct is frequently referred to as “insider trading.” This policy applies to all Supervised Persons, and extends to activities within and outside of each Supervised Person’s duties at OFS Adviser or with any OFS Fund.
The term “insider trading” is not specifically defined under the federal securities laws (most guidance in this area can be found under case law and related judicial decisions), but generally is used to refer to improper trading in Securities8 on the basis of MNPI (whether or not the person trading is an insider). A person is generally deemed to trade “on the basis of MNPI if that person is aware of MNPI when making the purchase or sale, regardless of whether the person specifically relied on the information in making an investment decision. It is generally understood that the law prohibits trading by an insider on the basis of MNPI about the Security or issuer. To be held liable under the law, the person trading generally must violate a duty of trust or confidence owed directly, indirectly or derivatively to the issuer of that Security or the shareholders of that issuer, or to any other person who is the source of the material nonpublic information (e.g., an employer). The law also prohibits the communication of inside information to others and provides for penalties and punitive damages against the “tipper” even if he or she does not gain personally from the improper trading.











image_13.jpg
8    OFS Adviser often transacts in syndicated or other loan interests on the basis of information that is not available to other members of the syndicate, or to the public in general; however, for the limited purpose of this policy, “Securities” (as defined in the Exchange Act) do not include such loan interests or other “evidences of indebtedness.” If you are uncertain as to whether a particular investment is a “security” for purposes of this policy, contact the Legal/Compliance Department.

B.KEY TERMS

1.What is a “Security”?
The Exchange Act, which covers insider trading, defines “Security” very broadly to include most types of financial instruments,9 except bank debt.10 There may be instances where Supervised Persons receive information about such investments that is not generally known by other institutional investors - even those institutional investors who may be similarly situated (e.g., lenders that are privy to nonpublic information and have access to bank-level information or primary lender meetings). Although trading in “non-security” investments on the basis of nonpublic information is not prohibited by federal securities laws, such trading may be prohibited by fiduciary obligations, other federal or state statutes, or contractual obligations such as confidentiality agreements11. In situations where OFS Adviser has access to MNPI to which other potential investors/counterparties may not have access, Supervised Persons should consult with a Compliance Officer or Senior Management, as appropriate, as to whether a proposed purchase or sale of an investment should be made, and, if made, should include the use of a “Big Boy” letter (see the Firm’s Confidentiality Policy), a confidentiality agreement (see the Firm’s Confidentiality Policy), or, if the investment is a syndicated loan, the execution by OFS Adviser of the standard LSTA form, which includes disclosure concerning the possibility of access to such information. In addition, even if trading in a “non-security” investment is permissible because the above standards are met, Supervised Persons are still prohibited from trading in any Securities issued by the relevant borrower, either for an Advisory Client or themselves, if the information obtained would be material with respect to the Securities transaction. This would also include indirect participation in such a transaction; for example, by participating in an Investment Committee meeting in which a decision regarding such Securities was being considered.
2.Who is an Insider?
The concept of an “insider” is broad. It includes officers, directors, and employees of a company. In addition, a person can be a “temporary insider” if he or she enters into a special confidential relationship in the conduct of a company’s affairs and as a result is given access to information solely for the company’s purposes. A temporary insider can include, among others, a company’s attorneys,
image_13.jpg
9    For purposes of the Inside Information Policy, “Security” means any note, stock, treasury stock, security feature, security-based swap, bond, debenture, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement or in any oil, gas, or other mineral royalty or lease, any collateral- trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or in general, any instrument commonly known as a “security”; or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing; but shall not include currency or any note, draft, bill of exchange, or banker's acceptance which has a maturity at the time of issuance of not exceeding nine months, exclusive of days of grace, or any renewal thereof the maturity of which is likewise limited.
10     Note that, for most purposes, evidences of indebtedness are treated as “securities” for securities law purposes; insider trading prohibitions are an exception to this general rule.
11     The Compliance Department maintains the Private Company List and Advisory Clients may not transact in these investments unless an exception to the prohibition from trading a security on the Private Company List has been granted by the CCO or his or her designee. Please refer to the Confidentiality Policy for more information.

accountants, consultants, bank lending officers, investment advisers (such as OFS Adviser) and the employees of such organizations. OFS Adviser may become a temporary insider by signing a confidentiality agreement or by accessing material nonpublic information of a public issuer via a private electronic workspace.
3.What is Material Information?
Trading on inside information is not a basis for liability unless the information is deemed material. “Material” information generally is defined as information with respect to which there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making his or her investment decisions, or information that could reasonably be expected to have a substantial effect on the price of a company’s Securities.
Among other things, the following types of information are generally regarded as “material”:
dividend or earnings announcements
write-downs or write-offs of assets
additions to reserves for bad debts or contingent liabilities
expansion or curtailment of company or major division operations
merger, joint venture announcements
new product/service/marketing announcements
new supplier/manufacturing/production announcements
material charge/impairment announcements
senior management changes
changes in control
material restatement of previously issued financial statements
discovery or research developments
criminal indictments and civil and government investigations, litigations and/or settlements
pending labor disputes
debt service or liquidity problems
bankruptcy or insolvency problems
tender offers, stock repurchase plans, etc.
recapitalizations
Material information does not have to relate to a company’s business. For example, in Carpenter v. U.S., 18 U.S. 316 (1987), the Supreme Court considered as material certain information about the contents of a forthcoming newspaper column that was expected to affect the market price of a Security. In that case, a Wall Street Journal reporter was found criminally liable for disclosing to others the dates that reports on various companies would appear in the Journal and whether those reports would be favorable or not.

4.What is Nonpublic Information?
Information is nonpublic until it has been effectively communicated to the marketplace. One must be able to point to some fact to show that the information is generally public. For example, information found in a report filed with the SEC, or appearing in Dow Jones, Reuters Economic Services, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, or other publications of general circulation would be considered public. Supervised Persons should seek specific guidance from a Compliance Officer in situations where information concerning an issuer or its affiliated entities (e.g., subsidiaries) may not have been made available to the investment community generally but was made available to a group of institutional investors.
5.Contacts with Companies
From time to time, Supervised Persons may meet with members of senior management at publicly-traded companies associated with an investment/deal or a prospective investment/deal. OFS Adviser may make investment decisions on the basis of the Firm’s conclusions formed through such contacts and analysis of publicly-available information regarding foreign and U.S. companies. Difficult legal issues arise when, during these contacts, a Supervised Person becomes aware of MNPI about those companies. This could happen, for example, if a company’s chief financial officer prematurely discloses quarterly results to a Supervised Person, a broker, or a securities analyst, or if an investor relations representative makes a selective disclosure of adverse news to a handful of investors. In such situations, Supervised Persons should immediately contact a Compliance Officer if he or she believes that he or she may have received MNPI about a publicly traded company.
6.Tender Offers
Tender offers raise heightened concerns in the law of insider trading for two reasons. First, tender offer activity often produces gyrations in the price of the target company’s Securities. Trading during this period is more likely to attract regulatory attention (and produces a disproportionate percentage of insider trading cases). Second, the SEC has adopted a rule which expressly forbids trading and “tipping” while in possession of MNPI regarding a tender offer received from the tender offeror, the target company or anyone acting on behalf of either. Supervised Persons should exercise caution any time they become aware of nonpublic information relating to a tender offer.
7.Penalties for Insider Trading
Penalties for trading on or inappropriately communicating MNPI are severe, both for the individuals involved and their employers. A person can be subject to some or all of the penalties below, even if he or she does not personally benefit from the violations. Penalties include:

civil injunctions;
disgorgement of profits;
24
Page -24-                 
OFS Capital Management

punitive damages (i.e., fines for the person who committed the violation of up to three (3) times the profit gained, or loss avoided, irrespective of whether the person actually benefited personally);
felony convictions which include possible jail sentences; and
fines and sanctions against the employer or other controlling person.

C.INSIDER TRADING PROCEDURES
The following procedures have been established to assist Supervised Persons in avoiding insider trading, and to aid OFS Adviser in preventing, detecting, and imposing sanctions for insider trading. The following procedures should be read in conjunction with other policies set forth in this Code, and in the Compliance Policies.
1.Identifying MNPI
Before trading in the Securities of a company about which they may have potential MNPI, Supervised Persons should ask themselves the following questions:
Is the information material? Is this information that an investor would consider important in making his or her investment decisions (e.g., whether the investor should buy, sell, or hold a Security)? Is this information that would substantially affect the market price of the Securities if generally disclosed?
Is the information nonpublic? To whom has this information been provided? Has the information been effectively communicated to the marketplace by being published in Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, or other publications of general circulation? Remember that information that has been communicated to a relatively large group of sophisticated investors does not by itself mean that the information is public (e.g., large group of potential bank debt investors during an invitation only meeting).
2.Restricting Access to MNPI
Care should be taken so that MNPI is secure. For example, files containing MNPI should be sealed or locked; access to computer files containing MNPI should be restricted. As a general matter, materials containing such information should not be removed from the Firm’s premises and, if they are, appropriate measures should be maintained to protect the materials from loss or disclosure. Among other things, Supervised Persons should:
distribute materials containing MNPI only on a need-to-know” basis;
take care so that telephone conversations cannot be overheard when discussing matters involving MNPI (e.g., speaker telephones should generally be used in a way

25

so that outsiders who might be in OFS Advisers’ offices are not inadvertently exposed to this information);
limit access to offices and conference rooms when these rooms contain MNPI; and
not leave materials containing MNPI displayed on the computer screen when they leave their computers unattended.
3.Review and Dissemination of Certain Investment Related Information
As part of its consideration of certain investments, including in certain types of “non-Securities” (e.g., bank debt instruments), the Firm may enter into confidentiality agreements with third parties (e.g., issuers, sponsors, syndicate members or other lenders) that could have implications for the Firm’s compliance with federal securities laws. Those agreements may sometimes contain so-called “stand- still” provisions, which specifically restrict the Firm’s activity in Securities of identified issuers, but more typically simply raise the possibility that nonpublic information may be disclosed to the recipient and seek the receiving party’s acknowledgment of that understanding and agreement not to disclose any MNPI transmitted. The procedures for executing confidentiality agreements are set forth in the Firm’s Confidentiality Policy. Many potential counterparties or their agents specifically require that potential investors sign a confidentiality agreement before they will be provided access to investment- related information. Because of the importance of our policies regarding access to and use of confidential information, confidentiality agreements may only be reviewed, negotiated, and executed as set forth in the Firm’s Confidentiality Policy.
4.Determination of Materiality
Given the unique asset classes in which OFS Adviser typically invests, Supervised Persons may receive detailed information about a Security that may not be otherwise readily available to the investing public. The issue of “materiality” and the ultimate determination as to whether the information provided rises to the level of MNPI should not be made independently by a Supervised Person. Rather, the employee should contact the Compliance Department to conduct a materiality assessment and an informed determination may be made. Unless otherwise determined by the Compliance Department, in consultation with investment staff and outside legal counsel, as appropriate, information received about a publicly-traded Security that is not readily available to the investing public shall be deemed to be and treated as material.
5.Use of Expert Networks
While it is permissible to utilize Expert Networks, which provide information, advice, analysis, market expertise or industry experience for use in the due diligence process of a potential investment, formulating investment views or on-going oversight of current investments, OFS Adviser must be particularly sensitive about the information that these Expert Networks provide. Accordingly, OFS Adviser has adopted an Expert Network Policy which governs the contact and interaction with Expert Networks, and requires Supervised Persons to obtain preapproval from the Compliance Department before engaging an Expert
26

Network. OFS Adviser’s Expert Network Policy is hereby incorporated into this Code by reference. Those Supervised Person who have been approved to use Expert Networks are required to fully comply with all policies, procedures, certifications and training requirements associated with the Expert Network Policy, and any instance of non-compliance will likely constitute a violation of the Code.
6.Value-Added Investors
Certain investors, who are affiliated with public companies, can pose additional risk for Supervised Persons’ exposure to MNPI. The SEC has coined the term “value-added investors” (“VAIs”) to refer to these types of investors. VAIs are investors with whom OFS Advisor has direct contact (i.e., those investors of OFS Advisory Clients with whom OFS Advisor has ongoing relationships and not investors who interact with OFS Advisor for “one off” purposes) and are:
Public company executives, officers, directors, or corporate insiders who may possess or have access to MNPI due to their position; and
Executives, principals or portfolio managers at investment firms such as hedge funds, investment advisers, broker-dealers, or investment banks who may possess or have access to MNPI due to the nature of their position.
The Compliance Department maintains a VAI List. Certain OFS Supervised Persons who are responsible for interfacing with VAIs (“OFS VAI Contacts”) will promptly contact the Compliance Department if they become aware of a VAI and/or provide updates to the VAI List and attest to their compliance with the VAI policy on a quarterly basis. The Compliance Department will assess the names on the VAI List and request additional information, as necessary, and add those issuers identified as associated with a VAI to the Watch List, as appropriate.
If you become aware of a current or prospective investor that could be considered a VAI or have questions regarding this policy, please contact the Compliance Department.

IV.GIFTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND POLITICAL ACTIVITIES

A.INTRODUCTION
OFS Adviser attempts to minimize any activity that might give rise to a question as to whether the Firm’s objectivity as a fiduciary has been compromised.
B.GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT POLICY
One possible area of fiduciary concern relates to providing or receiving meals, gifts, entertainment or anything of value from third parties with which OFS Adviser or its Advisory Clients do business, including each OFS Fund, joint business partners, service providers and current and prospective clients (collectively “Outside Parties” and each an “Outside Party”).
Supervised Persons are prohibited from soliciting anything of value from Outside Parties. Further, no Supervised Person may give or receive any gift, meal or entertainment that could or is intended to influence decision-making or to make a person beholden, in any way, to another person or company that seeks to do or is currently doing business with the Firm or its Advisory Clients. Lavish or luxurious gifts and entertainment, and gifts and entertainment that are received or provided on a frequent basis, are generally deemed to meet this standard and, unless a Compliance Officer indicates otherwise, are prohibited. In addition, depending upon a Supervised Person’s responsibilities, specific regulatory requirements may dictate the types and extent of gifts and entertainment that Supervised Persons may give or receive. The Firm is committed to competing solely on the merit of its products and services, and Supervised Persons should avoid any actions that create a perception that favorable treatment of Outside Parties by the Firm was sought, received or given in exchange for a particular decision or action.
1.Business Meals
Generally, Supervised Persons may share food and beverages (meals) with Outside Parties in the ordinary course of business. Meals received by Supervised Persons from Outside Parties should not exceed $250 per person per meal, unless preapproved by Compliance. Meals provided by Supervised Persons to Outside Parties are generally permissible and should also not exceed $250 per person per meal, unless preapproved by Compliance. No food or beverage should be provided to Public Officials without preclearance and preapproval by Compliance.

2.Providing Business Gifts
Any Supervised Person who offers a gift to an Outside Party must be sure that it cannot reasonably be interpreted as an attempt to gain an unfair business advantage or otherwise reflect negatively upon the Firm. In addition, a Supervised Person may never use personal funds or resources to do something that cannot be done with Firm resources. A gift may include any services or merchandise of any kind or discounts on merchandise or services and other items of value. Generally, Supervised Persons are prohibited from giving gifts of cash, cash equivalents (such as gift cards and gift certificates) and securities to Outside Parties. This policy does not prohibit the provision of occasional or nominal non-cash gift items, such as holiday gifts, to Outside Parties so long as the amount provided by a Supervised Person to any one recipient over a calendar year does not exceed $250. Once the aggregate amount proposed to be provided by a Supervised Person to any one recipient during one calendar year exceeds $250, that Supervised Person must submit a preclearance request and obtain preapproval via the Firm’s compliance portal. Further, anything of value (e.g., meals, beverages, gifts, and entertainment) to be provided to Public Officials requires preclearance approval via the Firm’s compliance portal.
The Compliance Department shall periodically review gifts provided for compliance with this Code as part of quarterly expense reimbursement review process.
If you are unsure of OFS Adviser’s policy with respect to providing gifts in any circumstance, you should consult with a Compliance Officer.
3.Receiving Business Gifts
No Supervised Person should obtain any material personal benefits or favors because of his or her position with the Firm. Each Supervised Person’s decisions on behalf of the Firm must be free from undue influence. Soliciting gifts from Outside Parties is strictly prohibited. A gift may include any services or merchandise of any kind or discounts on merchandise or services and other items of value. Supervised Persons are prohibited from receiving gifts of cash, cash equivalents (such as gift cards and gift certificates) and securities from Outside Parties. This policy does not prohibit the receipt of occasional or nominal non-cash gift items, such as holiday gifts, so long as the amount received by a Supervised Person from any one source over a calendar year does not exceed $250. Any gift that will cause the total received by that Supervised Person from a single source to exceed $250 for the calendar year, and any additional gift thereafter received during the calendar year, requires preclearance by a Compliance Officer. Also, one of the following actions will generally be required: return the gift, donate the gift to charity or to OFS for a corporate raffle or keep the gift and write a check to charity for the difference between the fair market value of the gift and $250. Such requests should be submitted via the Firm’s compliance portal.

Gifts in any amount received by a Supervised Person from an Outside Party, except for gifts of nominal value (such as logo items, including pens, notepads, coffee mugs and baseball caps) must be disclosed in the Firm’s compliance portal at the time of receipt.
4.Entertainment
The gift policies above are not intended to prohibit the acceptance or provision of non- extravagant entertainment that facilitates the handling of the Firm’s business. Business entertainment (e.g., concerts, exhibitions or sporting events, where the person providing the entertainment is present), that is not frequent or “lavish” and does not influence the selection of vendors or other Outside Parties, is acceptable. Entertainment received by a Supervised Person where the outside party providing the entertainment is not in attendance is considered a “gift.” From time to time, an employee may have the opportunity to invite a guest to a business entertainment event hosted by an Outside Party – the guest’s ticket is considered as a “gift” for purposes of this policy. Business meals are not considered entertainment for purposes of this Policy (see Section IV.B. 1. “Business Meals” above for additional information).
No Supervised Person may provide or accept extravagant or excessive entertainment to or from an Outside Party. Any entertainment that a Supervised Person reasonably expects to exceed $1,000 in market value per person must be pre-approved by a Compliance Officer. Also, if the entertainment provided by the Supervised Person is part of an entertainment program (e.g., purchasing season box seats, where multiple events are scheduled over multiple dates, for multiple Outside Parties), and although the market value per person may be below the $1000 limit, these programs must also be approved in advance by a Compliance Officer. Further, entertainment of any value to be provided to Public Officials requires pre-approval from a Compliance Officer. Such requests should be submitted via the Firm’s compliance portal.
A Supervised Person receiving entertainment in an amount less than the $1,000 limit must disclose the entertainment via the Firm’s compliance portal. The disclosure should be made no later than 30 calendar days of the date of participating in such event.
5.Travel and Lodging
Supervised Persons may occasionally be invited to conferences or other events by Outside Parties, which include an offer of travel and/or lodging. Employees must contact a Compliance Officer to obtain approval prior to accepting the travel and/or lodging. Requests to accept travel or lodging that appear to be extravagant or frequent in nature will generally

be prohibited.
6.Giving Gifts, Entertainment and Meals to Public Officials
Specific requirements and restrictions apply regarding the offering of meals, gifts and entertainment (including any food and beverages) to Public Officials and can vary depending on the governmental branch/body, state, or other jurisdiction. For example, many government pension plans place strict limits on the value of any meal provided by a service provider, such as the Firm, to the pension plans’ employees. Certain jurisdictions even ban service providers from providing anything of value to their public employees, including promotional items of nominal value. Penalties for violating these gift laws can range from monetary fines to disqualification from RFP participation and rescindment of existing investment mandates. Private unions are subject to Department of Labor gift rules and regulations and service providers, such as the Firm, must comply with prescribed limits and reporting requirements when providing gifts and entertainment (including any food and beverages) to union employees. Accordingly, it is against Firm policy to offer or give gifts, entertainment (including any food and beverages), or anything of value to Public Officials or union officials or employees unless the regulations applicable to that individual permit acceptance of such items. Further, Supervised Persons are required to obtain preclearance from a Compliance Officer to offer or give anything of value, including nominal items or snacks, to Public Officials or union officials or employees. Such requests for prior approval should be submitted via the Firm’s compliance portal.
If you plan to contact a Public Official for the first time in order to solicit business or to request that any action or decision be made by a Public Official or its affiliated public body, you may need to register as a lobbyist. Many states and other local jurisdictions have enacted lobbying laws that can vary in how they define “lobbying” and registration as a “lobbyist” is required. Further, in the event that you are required to register as a lobbyist, you will likely be subject to lower gift and entertainment limits. Accordingly, you should contact Compliance for further guidance prior to initial contact with Public Officials.
If you are unsure of applicable laws, rules, and regulations with respect to providing gifts, meals and entertainment (including any food or beverages) to Public Officials or union official or employees in any circumstance, you should consult with a Compliance Officer.
7.Receiving Gifts or Entertainment from Traders or Brokers/Agent Bank Employees
Traders or other investment professionals with the ability to influence the selection of brokers/agent banks with respect to trading in Securities and broadly syndicated loans are prohibited from receiving meals over $250 and gifts or entertainment of any value from an employee of such
31

broker/agent bank without submitting a preclearance request and receiving preapproval from Compliance. Such request for pre-approval should be submitted via the Firm’s compliance portal.

8.Charitable Contributions
The following charitable contributions require preclearance by a Compliance Officer:
8.1Charitable Contributions by OFS Advisers and/or its affiliated operating entities.
Such contributions may be permissible only with the approval of Senior Management and requested through the Firm’s compliance portal. The Compliance Officer will consult with Senior Management if such requests are not initiated by a member of Senior Management.
8.2 Charitable contributions by OFS Funds, separately managed accounts and investment vehicles.
Such contributions generally must, at a minimum: (1) provide a direct benefit to the contributing entity; (2) require the preliminary approval of the Senior Managing Director; and (3) be consistent with the contributing entity’s governing documents. If the proposed contribution amount exceeds the entity’s applicable budget, a member of Senior Management must also approve the contribution prior to submitting a preclearance request through the Firm’s compliance portal.
8.3 Charitable contributions by an employee, at the request or for the benefit of a Public Official or a Public Official’s immediate family member or close associate
Such contributions may be permissible only if the Compliance Officer can reasonably conclude that the contribution is lawful, ethical and in compliance with the policies and standards under this Code.
In all cases, unless an exception has been granted by a Compliance Officer, the beneficiary of the contribution must be an organization formed under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code or is otherwise operating exclusively as a non-profit civic charity that is not involved in any political or lobbying activity. Further, such contributions should never be used as bribes (i.e., to improperly influence or reward any action or decision for OFS’s benefit).

C.POLITICAL ACTIVITY POLICY

1.Introduction
The SEC, along with certain states, municipalities and public pension plans, have adopted regulations limiting or completely disqualifying investment advisers from providing services to, or
32
Page -32-

accepting placements from, a government entity if certain political contributions12 are made or solicited13 by the Firm, certain of its Supervised Persons, or, in some instances, a Supervised Person’s Related Persons. Under these “pay to play” regulations, a single prohibited political contribution to a candidate or officeholder, political party, political action committee or other political organization at practically every level of government (including local, state and federal) may preclude the Firm from providing services to, or accepting placements from, the applicable government entity and may compel the firm to repay compensation received by the Firm for with such services or placements.
OFS Adviser and its Affiliates (other than natural persons, as provided below) generally do not make or solicit contributions in any amount to any federal, state, county or local political campaign, candidate or officeholder, or any political organization (e.g., political party committee and political action committee (“PAC”)). As such, Supervised Persons are prohibited from making or soliciting contributions in the name of or on behalf of OFS Advisers and/or its

33
Page -33-                 
OFS Capital Management

Affiliates unless otherwise approved by the Compliance Department and a member of Senior Management.
No Supervised Person of the Firm or his/her Related Persons may engage in any Political Activity for any federal, state, county, or local political campaign, candidate or officeholder, or any political organizations (e.g., political party committee, political action committee), without the prior written approval of a Compliance Officer. Such requests should be submitted via the Firm’s compliance portal. “Political Activity” for the purpose of this Policy is defined as monetary or in-kind campaign contributions to, or for the benefit of, any government official, candidate running for office, political party or legislative leadership, politically active non-profit, ballot measure committee or PAC as well as the solicitation and coordination of campaign contributions. Volunteering for a campaign that does not include solicitation or coordination of campaign contributions does not require pre-approval.
A Supervised Person and their Related Persons wishing to engage in a Political Activity must submit a Political Activity pre-clearance request on behalf of the Supervised Person (or his or her Related Person) through the Firm’s compliance portal prior to engaging in Political Activity, and such submission must include all pertinent information related to the proposed activity, including, but not limited to, the individual wishing to contribute, amount of the contribution, the name of the intended recipient, the nature of the recipient’s candidacy, whether the proposed recipient holds an existing political office (whether local, state or federal), and whether the Supervised Person (or his or her Related Person, where applicable) is legally entitled to vote for the proposed recipient. Because of the serious nature of the sanctions applicable to a pay to play violation, requests to engage in Political Activity for candidates seeking election to state and local offices will generally be limited, depending on whether a Supervised Person is legally entitled to vote for the candidate. As such, requests to donate to
image_13.jpg
12     Contributions include cash, checks, gifts, subscriptions, loans, advances, deposits of money, “in kind” contributions (e.g., the provision of free professional services) or anything else of value provided for the purpose of influencing an election for a federal, state or local office, including any payments for debts incurred in such an election.
13     Solicitation of contributions encompasses any fundraising activity on behalf of a candidate, campaign or political organization, including direct solicitation, hosting of events and/or aggregating, coordinating or “bundling” the contributions of others.




34

state or local candidates and officials may be approved up to $350, where the Supervised Person is legally entitled to vote for the candidate, and is limited to $150 or less, where a Supervised Person is not legally entitled to vote for the candidate or where the relevant jurisdiction imposes more restrictive limits.
The Firm expects that every Supervised Person will explain the importance of compliance with this policy to his/her Related Persons, and ensure their clear understanding of the obligation to follow these requirements. Moreover, the applicable laws in this area are complex and a trap for the unwary - no Supervised Person should attempt to decide for himself or herself whether a Political Activity is prohibited or permissible. Supervised Persons are responsible for complying with and tracking their own Political Activity limits.
2.Indirect Violations
The pay to play laws also prohibit actions taken indirectly that the Firm or its Supervised Persons could not take directly without violating the law. For example, it is improper and unlawful to provide funds to a third party (such as a consultant or attorney) with the understanding that the third party will use such funds to make an otherwise prohibited contribution. Such indirect violations may trigger disqualification of the Firm from receiving compensation and result in other sanctions, including
35

possible criminal penalties. If any Supervised Person learns of facts and circumstances suggesting a possible indirect violation, that Supervised Person must report such facts and circumstances to a Compliance Officer immediately.
3.Periodic Disclosure
In order to ensure compliance with this policy, every Supervised Person must submit via the Firm’s compliance portal, a disclosure and certification setting forth all Political Activity by the Supervised Person and his/her Related Persons for the previous two (2) years or confirming that no such contributions have been made, prior to and at commencement of employment and/or first becoming a Supervised Person. Supervised Persons are also required to disclose and certify all Political Activity in which they or their Related Persons have engaged on a quarterly basis.

V.OUTSIDE AFFILIATIONS POLICY

A.OUTSIDE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
From time to time, Supervised Persons may be asked and/or desire to own, work for or serve as a general partner, managing member, principal, proprietor, consultant, agent, representative, or employees of an outside organization for or without compensation, all of which are considered “Outside Business Activities”. These organizations may include public or private corporations, limited and general partnerships, businesses, family trusts, endowments, and foundations.
Outside Business Activities may, however, create potential conflicts of interest and/or provide access to MNPI. So that the Compliance Department can address these potential issues, Supervised Persons must obtain prior approval from their supervisor and a Compliance Officer to engage in Outside Business Activities. Approval should be requested through the Firm’s compliance portal.
Prior approval is generally not required to assume positions with charitable and other non- profit organizations or civic and trade associations. However, if your responsibilities will include the provision of investment advice, such as participation on the investment committee of a non-profit organization, or the organization is a client or business partner of the Firm or its Affiliates, you must obtain prior approval from your supervisor and a Compliance Officer.
B.DIRECTOR AND OFFICER POSITIONS
In other instances, Supervised Persons may be asked or desire to serve as a director, trustee or officer, with or without compensation, for organizations unaffiliated with the Firm and its Affiliates (“Outside Director and Officer Positions”). Separately, Supervised Persons may be asked to serve as a director or officer, with or without compensation, for organizations that are affiliated with the Firm, or its Affiliates (“Affiliated Director and Officer Positions”).
As a prospective board member, trustee or officer, it is critical that you coordinate with the Compliance Department to ensure that potential conflicts of interest are addressed and special measures are taken to handle and maintain the confidentiality of any information that you may obtain in your new position.
1.Outside Director and Officer Positions
As such, in the event that you wish to assume an Outside Director and Officer Position, you must obtain prior approval from your supervisor and a Compliance Officer. Outside Director and Officer Positions will be approved only if any associated conflicts of interest and risks, actual or apparent, can be satisfactorily mitigated or resolved. Please note, however, you are not required to seek pre-approval or provide disclosure to serve as a board member or officer of a personal residential organization, such as a homeowner’s association or coop board, or an entity formed for personal estate planning purposes.

2.Affiliated Positions
If you are assuming an Affiliated Director and Officer Position, you must only disclose your new position to the Compliance Department and in a timely manner. However, you are not required to pre-clear or disclose director or officer positions with holding companies, or “pass- through” entities affiliated with OFS, the OFS Funds or the OFS Funds’ underlying assets.
Disclosures of Affiliated Director and Officer Positions should be made through the Firms’ compliance portal.

C.EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIPS
The Firm needs to be aware of relationships maintained by Supervised Persons with third parties that may create the potential for conflicts of interest. The Firm uses this information to assess the need to prohibit certain Supervised Persons from handling matters where such a conflict exists or institute mitigating controls surrounding the levels of business activity or contract negotiations where a relationship posing a conflict has been identified. This may include situations where a Supervised Person’s Related Person or Family Member is: 1) a director, an owner of more than 5% of or a senior management executive of a public company, 2) employed or engaged by a company with which the Firm is conducting or may conduct business, and such Related Person or Family Member is in a position to make decisions with respect to such business or is directly involved with the relationship with the Firm (e.g. a law firm, real estate broker or general contractor), or 3) employed with or serving in an office of a state or local government entity (e.g., city retirement system, state office, public university), in which the Related Person or Family Member has the authority, directly or indirectly, to affect the entity’s current or prospective relationship with the Firm. Such relationships should be disclosed using the Firm’s compliance portal.
For purposes of this Code, “Family Member” means the parents, children, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, and in-laws of the Supervised Person regardless of residence, financial dependence, or investment control.

VI.ANTI-CORRUPTION POLICY
The purpose of the OFS Adviser’s Anti-Corruption Policy is to ensure compliance by the Firm and its employees with applicable anti-bribery laws. As such, the Policy prohibits OFS Adviser employees from offering, promising, paying or providing, or authorizing the promising, paying or providing (in each case, directly or indirectly, including through third parties) of any amount of money or anything of value to any Public Official or Private Sector Counterparty (defined below), including a person actually known to be an immediate family member of such parties, in order to improperly influence or reward any action or decision by such person for the Firm’s benefit.
Neither funds from the Firm nor funds from any other source may be used to make any such payment or gift on behalf of or for the Firm’s benefit.
(a)Requirements for Interaction with Public Officials
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (also referred to as the “FCPA”) is a U.S. federal law that generally prohibits the bribery of foreign officials (also referred to as “Public Officials”), directly or indirectly, by any individual, business entity or employee of any such entity for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business and/or gaining an unfair advantage.
“Public Official”, for purposes of this Policy, includes any person who is employed full- or part-time by a government, or by regional subdivisions of governments, including states, provinces, districts, counties, cities, towns and villages or by independent agencies, state-owned businesses, state- controlled businesses or public academic institutions. This would include, for example, employees of sovereign wealth funds, government-sponsored pension plans (i.e. pension plans for the benefit of government employees), heads of state, lower level employees of state-controlled businesses and government-sponsored university endowments. “Public Official” also includes political party officials and candidates for political office. For example, a campaign contribution is the equivalent of a payment to a Public Official under the FCPA. In certain cases, providing a payment or thing of value to a person actually known to be an immediate family member of a Public Official or a charity associated with a Public Official may be the equivalent of providing a thing of value to the Public Official directly.
Under the FCPA, the employees of public international organizations, such as the African and Asian Development Banks, the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, and the Organization of American States, are considered Public Officials.
In April 2010, the United Kingdom, passed its own anti-bribery law, the Bribery Act 2010 (the “Bribery Act”). However, the law went further than the FCPA, prohibiting not only bribery of “foreign public officials” but also the bribery of private parties. Further, the Bribery Act, unlike the
39
Page -39-                 
OFS Capital Management
Confidential. Do not copy or distribute.


FCPA, prohibits “passive” bribery or the acceptance of bribes, in addition to “active” bribery, or giving a bribe.
The OFS Adviser Anti-Corruption Policy is applicable to all OFS Adviser employees, regardless of their country of citizenship or residency. Although the FCPA and the Bribery Act are the principal anti-bribery statutes applicable to OFS Adviser and its employees worldwide, OFS Adviser and its employees are also subject to the applicable anti-bribery laws of all jurisdictions in which they do business and any jurisdictions involved in OFS Adviser’s cross-border transactions. OFS Adviser employees who are not U.S. or U.K. citizens or residents may also be subject to anti-bribery laws of their countries of citizenship or residency, as applicable.
Prior to transacting business (including merger and acquisition transactions and the retention of certain third parties) outside the U.S. or U.K., you should consult with the CCO or Chief Legal Officer or local counsel to obtain the applicable policies, requirements and procedures pertinent to complying with the applicable anti-bribery laws of such jurisdictions.
(b)Requirements for Interaction with Private Sector Counterparty Representatives
OFS employees should be sensitive to anti-corruption issues in their dealings directly or indirectly, with Private Sector Counterparty Representatives. A Private Sector Counterparty Representative is an owner, employee, or representative of a private entity, such as a partnership or corporation, with which OFS Adviser is conducting or seeking to conduct business. Individuals affiliated with current and prospective clients, joint venture partners and service providers and other third parties in such a capacity are all “Private Sector Counterparty Representatives”.
Bribery concerns may arise in connection with your day-to-day interactions with Private Sector Counterparty Representatives, regarding, for example, the offering of investment opportunities or the solicitation of OFS Adviser business by service providers. It is important to be mindful of the anti- bribery laws and to avoid any action that may give the appearance of bribery in your dealings with such individuals. While you may engage in the exchange of gifts, meals and entertainment with Private Sector Counterparty Representatives in the normal and routine course of business, it is important that you adhere to this Policy and to the Gifts and Entertainment Policy of this Code to avoid running afoul of the anti-corruption laws.
(c)Requirements for Retention of Certain Third Parties
Payments by OFS Adviser to Third Parties raise special concerns under the FCPA, Bribery Act and any other applicable anti-bribery laws. A “Third Party” is defined as any consultant, investor, joint venture partner, local partner, broker, agent or other third party retained or to be retained by OFS Adviser for purposes of dealing with a Public Official or a Private Sector Counterparty Representative
40

on behalf of OFS Adviser or where the contemplated services are likely to involve business-related interactions with a Public Official or Private Sector Counterparty Representative on behalf of OFS Adviser. Because of the risk that a Third Party may seek to secure business for OFS Adviser or its Advisory Clients through violations of the FCPA or Bribery Act and that OFS Adviser or its Advisory Client’s Portfolio Companies may be subject to liability under the FCPA or Bribery Act as a result, any agreement with a Third Party that is engaged to do business with OFS Adviser is subject to specific due diligence and contractual requirements to assure compliance with the Firm’s Anti-Corruption Policy.
(d)Pre-Approval Reporting, Due Diligence and Contractual Requirements
Unless otherwise authorized by the CCO or a Compliance Officer, you are required to adhere to the following policies and procedures, designed to facilitate your compliance with applicable anti- bribery laws.
You must submit a preclearance request and obtain pre-approval for the following types of expenses, and contributions:
Gifts and entertainment, including food and beverages, travel, or lodging or anything of value provided to a Public Official or a person known to be an immediate family member or guest of a Public Official;
Charitable contributions made on behalf of OFS Adviser and/or its affiliated operating entities;
Charitable contributions made in an individual capacity or on behalf of OFS Adviser at the request of or for the benefit of a Public Official; and
Any political contributions.
Preclearance requests should be submitted via the Firm’s compliance portal.
(e)Reporting Obligations
On a quarterly basis, you must certify to all previously approved and/or disclosed political contributions, charitable contributions, items to Public Officials and all gifts and entertainment received, as specified above. Certification must be made via the Firm’s compliance portal.

VII.COMPUTER ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
OFS’ Computer Acceptable Use Policy is hereby incorporated into this Code by reference. Supervised Persons are required to fully comply with all policies, procedures and certification and training requirements associated with the OFS Computer Acceptable Use Policy, and any instance of non-compliance will likely constitute a violation of this Code. The OFS Computer Acceptable Use Policy is available to all Supervised Persons on the Firm’s public network drive and compliance portal.

VIII.PERSONAL USE OF FIRM RESOURCES AND RELATIONSHIP POLICY
OFS email and other OFS-sponsored communication mediums (e.g., Skype for Business) (collectively, “OFS communication platforms”) should generally only be used for conducting OFS business. While occasional use of OFS email for personal communications is permissible, Supervised Persons are prohibited from using OFS communication platforms to conduct personal outside business activities (including those involving political, civic or charitable solicitations), which may imply OFS’s sponsorship or endorsement of such activities. Use of OFS stationary for personal correspondence or other personal purposes is strictly prohibited. All communications made via OFS communication platforms are the property of OFS and use of such platforms must comply with the OFS Computer Acceptable Use Policy.
Absent an exemption granted by Human Resources or Compliance, Supervised Persons are prohibited from assigning tasks associated with personal business activities to staff or soliciting assistance for such personal endeavors from staff in a junior role to the requestor.
Further, Supervised Persons are prohibited from leveraging relationships with OFS clients, vendors, and other business contacts (“OFS Contacts”) gained over the course of their employment for personal purposes. Personal purposes include, but are not limited to, charitable and political activities, including solicitation of donations, and the conduct of personal business activities.
OFS reserves the right to search and monitor the computer files of and OFS communication platforms used by any Supervised Persons, without advance notice, for purposes of monitoring compliance with this policy.

(2)     The prospectus supplement corresponding to each offering will disclose the applicable offering expenses and total stockholder transaction expenses as a percentage of the offering price.
(3)     The expenses of the DRIP are included in “other expenses.” The plan administrator’s fees are paid by us. There are no brokerage charges or other charges to stockholders who participate in the plan except that, if a participant elects by written notice to the plan administrator to have the plan administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the plan administrator in the participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the plan administrator is authorized to deduct a $15.00 transaction fee plus a $0.10 per share brokerage commission from the proceeds. See “—Distribution Reinvestment Plan”.
(4)    The base management fee is based on actual base management fees incurred by us during the year ended October 31, 2023, and our actual leverage and net asset value as of October 31, 2023. We have agreed to pay OFS Advisor, as compensation under the Investment Advisory Agreement, a base management fee at an annual rate of 1.75% of our Total Equity Base, which is calculated as the sum of the net asset value of our common stock and the paid-in capital of our preferred stock. These management fees are paid by our stockholders and are not paid by the holders of preferred stock, or the holders of any other types of securities that we may issue. See “—Note 3 Related Party Transactions”.
(5)    We have agreed to pay OFS Advisor, as compensation under the Investment Advisory Agreement, a quarterly incentive fee equal to 20% of our “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a quarterly preferred return, or hurdle, of 2.00% of our NAV (8.00% annualized) and a catch-up feature. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. No incentive fee is payable to OFS Advisor on realized capital gains. The incentive fee is paid to OFS Advisor as follows:
no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle of 2.00% of our NAV;
100% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.50% of our NAV in any calendar quarter (10.00% annualized). We refer to this portion of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.50% of our NAV) as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide OFS Advisor with 20% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle did not apply if Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income meets or exceeds 2.50% of our NAV in any calendar quarter; and
20% of the amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.50% of our NAV in any calendar quarter (10.00% annualized) is payable to OFS Advisor (that is, once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter is paid to OFS Advisor).
The incentive fee referenced in the table above is based on actual incentive fees incurred by us during the year ended October 31, 2023. See “—Note 3 Related Party Transactions”.
(6)    “Interest payments on borrowed funds” represents the aggregate of dividends paid and accrued on our preferred stock during the year ended October 31, 2023. It also includes amortization of deferred underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses related to our outstanding preferred stock. We may incur, directly or indirectly, through one or more special purpose vehicles, indebtedness for borrowed money, as well as leverage in the form of preferred stock and other structures and instruments, in significant amounts and on terms that OFS Advisor and our board of directors deem appropriate, subject to applicable limitations under the 1940 Act. Any such borrowings do not include embedded or inherent leverage in CLO structures in which we invest or intend to invest or in derivative instruments in which we may invest. Our borrowing costs would increase in the event that we were to borrow additional money. In the event that we were to issue additional shares of preferred stock, the base management fee as a percentage of our net assets attributable to common stock would increase.
(7)    “Other expenses” is based on actual amounts incurred during the year ended October 31, 2023. “Other expenses” includes our overhead expenses, including services under the Administration Agreement based on our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by OFS Capital Services LLC, our administrator and an affiliate of OFS Advisor. “Other expenses” also includes ongoing administrative expenses to our independent accountants, legal counsel and compensation of independent directors.
(8)    “Total annual expenses” is presented as a percentage of net assets attributable to common stockholders, because the holders of shares of our common stock will bear all of our fees and expenses, all of which are included in this fee table presentation. The indirect expenses that will be associated with our CLO equity investments are not included in the fee table presentation, but if such expenses were included in the fee table presentation then our total annual expenses would have been 23.77%.

(3)     The expenses of the DRIP are included in “other expenses.” The plan administrator’s fees are paid by us. There are no brokerage charges or other charges to stockholders who participate in the plan except that, if a participant elects by written notice to the plan administrator to have the plan administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the plan administrator in the participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the plan administrator is authorized to deduct a $15.00 transaction fee plus a $0.10 per share brokerage commission from the proceeds. See “—Distribution Reinvestment Plan”.
(4)    The base management fee is based on actual base management fees incurred by us during the year ended October 31, 2023, and our actual leverage and net asset value as of October 31, 2023. We have agreed to pay OFS Advisor, as compensation under the Investment Advisory Agreement, a base management fee at an annual rate of 1.75% of our Total Equity Base, which is calculated as the sum of the net asset value of our common stock and the paid-in capital of our preferred stock. These management fees are paid by our stockholders and are not paid by the holders of preferred stock, or the holders of any other types of securities that we may issue. See “—Note 3 Related Party Transactions”.
(5)    We have agreed to pay OFS Advisor, as compensation under the Investment Advisory Agreement, a quarterly incentive fee equal to 20% of our “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” for the immediately preceding quarter, subject to a quarterly preferred return, or hurdle, of 2.00% of our NAV (8.00% annualized) and a catch-up feature. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. No incentive fee is payable to OFS Advisor on realized capital gains. The incentive fee is paid to OFS Advisor as follows:
no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the hurdle of 2.00% of our NAV;
100% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.50% of our NAV in any calendar quarter (10.00% annualized). We refer to this portion of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.50% of our NAV) as the “catch-up.” The “catch-up” is meant to provide OFS Advisor with 20% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if a hurdle did not apply if Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income meets or exceeds 2.50% of our NAV in any calendar quarter; and
20% of the amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds 2.50% of our NAV in any calendar quarter (10.00% annualized) is payable to OFS Advisor (that is, once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20% of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter is paid to OFS Advisor).
The incentive fee referenced in the table above is based on actual incentive fees incurred by us during the year ended October 31, 2023. See “—Note 3 Related Party Transactions”.
(6)    “Interest payments on borrowed funds” represents the aggregate of dividends paid and accrued on our preferred stock during the year ended October 31, 2023. It also includes amortization of deferred underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses related to our outstanding preferred stock. We may incur, directly or indirectly, through one or more special purpose vehicles, indebtedness for borrowed money, as well as leverage in the form of preferred stock and other structures and instruments, in significant amounts and on terms that OFS Advisor and our board of directors deem appropriate, subject to applicable limitations under the 1940 Act. Any such borrowings do not include embedded or inherent leverage in CLO structures in which we invest or intend to invest or in derivative instruments in which we may invest. Our borrowing costs would increase in the event that we were to borrow additional money. In the event that we were to issue additional shares of preferred stock, the base management fee as a percentage of our net assets attributable to common stock would increase.
(7)    “Other expenses” is based on actual amounts incurred during the year ended October 31, 2023. “Other expenses” includes our overhead expenses, including services under the Administration Agreement based on our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by OFS Capital Services LLC, our administrator and an affiliate of OFS Advisor. “Other expenses” also includes ongoing administrative expenses to our independent accountants, legal counsel and compensation of independent directors.

Expense Example [Table Text Block]
Example*
The following example demonstrates the projected dollar amount of total cumulative expenses that would be incurred over various periods with respect to a hypothetical investment in us. In calculating the following expense amounts, we assumed we would maintain the leverage as set forth above and that our operating expenses would remain at the levels set forth in the table above.

1 Year3 Year5 Year10 Year
You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment, assuming a 5.0% annual return$81$235$379$701
*The example should not be considered a representation of future returns or expenses, and actual returns and expenses may be greater or less than those shown. While the example assumes a 5.0% annual return, our performance will vary and may result in a return greater or less than 5.0%. The incentive fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement, assuming a 5.0% annual return, would either not be payable or would have an insignificant impact on the expense amounts shown above, and is therefore not included in the example. Also, while the example assumes reinvestment of all dividends at net asset value, participants in our dividend reinvestment plan will receive a number of shares of our common stock, determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the dividend payable to a participant by ninety-five percent (95%) the market price per share of our common stock at the close of trading on the dividend payment date, which may be at, above or below net asset value. See “—Distribution Reinvestment Plan” for additional information regarding our dividend reinvestment plan.

General Description of Registrant [Abstract]                              
Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block]
The Company’s primary investment objective is to generate current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Company invests at least 80% of its assets in floating rate credit instruments and other structured credit investments, including: (i) collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) debt and subordinated (i.e., residual or equity) securities; (ii) traditional corporate credit investments, including leveraged loans and high yield bonds; (iii) opportunistic credit investments, including stressed and distressed credit situations and long/short credit investments; and (iv) other credit-related instruments. The CLOs in which the Company invests are collateralized by portfolios consisting primarily of below investment grade U.S. senior secured loans with a large number of distinct underlying borrowers across various industry sectors. The Company may also invest in financing structures intended to aggregate loans that may be used to form the basis of a CLO vehicle, often provided by the bank that will serve as the placement agent or arranger on a CLO transaction (each, a “Loan Accumulation Facility”).
                           
Risk Factors [Table Text Block]
SUMMARY RISK FACTORS
The risk factors described below are a summary of the principal risk factors associated with an investment in the Company. These are not the only risks we face. You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with the risk factors set forth in our prospectus, as supplemented from time to time, and the other reports and documents filed by us with the SEC. Specifically, see “Risk Factors” in our prospectus filed with the SEC on June 4, 2021.
We are subject to risks related to our business and structure.
Our investment portfolio is recorded at fair value and OFS Advisor, our “valuation designee,” determines the fair value of our investments in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As a result, there will be uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments and the participation of OFS Advisor’s professionals in our valuation process could result in a conflict of interest.
Our financial condition and results of operations depend on OFS Advisor’s ability to effectively manage and deploy capital.
We are dependent upon the OFS senior professionals for our future success and upon their access to the investment professionals and partners of OFSAM and its affiliates.
OFS Advisor and OFS Services each has the right to resign on 60 days’ notice, and we may not be able to find a suitable replacement within that time, resulting in a disruption in our operations that could adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.
Our success will depend on the ability of OFS Advisor to attract and retain qualified personnel in a competitive environment.
Our incentive fee structure may incentivize OFS Advisor to pursue speculative investments, use leverage when it may be unwise to do so, refrain from de-levering when it would otherwise be appropriate to do so, or include optimistic assumptions in the determination of net investment income.
We may be obligated to pay OFS Advisor incentive compensation even if we incur a loss.
We may pay an incentive fee on income we do not receive in cash.
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.
The Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement were not negotiated on an arm's length basis and may not be as favorable to us as if they had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results.
Our Board may change our operating policies and strategies without stockholder approval, the effects of which may be adverse.
We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates if we are unable to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC.
There is a risk that holders of our equity securities may not receive distributions or that our distributions may not grow or may be reduced over time.
We may choose to pay distributions in our own common stock, in which case, our stockholders may be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes in excess of the cash distributions they receive.
We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.
Because we expect to distribute substantially all of our ordinary income and net realized capital gains to our stockholders, we may need additional capital to finance the acquisition of new investments and such capital may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates is restricted, which may limit the scope of investments available to us.
We may leverage our portfolio, which would magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and will increase the risk of investing in us.
Provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could deter takeover attempts and have an adverse effect on the price of our securities.
Events outside of our control, including public health crises, elevated interest and inflation rates and significant market volatility, have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, our CLO investments and our results of operations.
Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability.
Further downgrades of the U.S. credit rating, impending automatic spending cuts or a government shutdown could negatively impact the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and earnings.
Adverse developments in the credit markets may impair our ability to secure debt financing.
Terrorist attacks, acts of war or natural disasters may impact the businesses in which we invest and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
Cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents may adversely affect our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.
We are subject to risks associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.
The impact of legal, tax and regulatory changes in the United States is uncertain and may directly affect financial institutions and the global economy.
Our cash and cash equivalents could be adversely affected if the financial institutions in which we hold our cash and cash equivalents fail.
We are subject to risks related to our investments.
Investing in senior secured loans indirectly through CLO securities involves particular risks.
Our investments in CLO securities, and other structured finance securities involve certain risks.
Our investments in subordinated or equity CLO securities are more likely to suffer a loss of all or a portion of their value in the event of a default.
Our portfolio of investments may lack diversification among CLO securities or underlying obligors, which may subject us to a risk of significant loss if one or more of these CLO securities experience a high level of defaults on collateral.
Our portfolio is focused on CLO securities, and the CLO securities in which we invest may hold loans that are concentrated in a limited number of industries.
Failure by a CLO in which we are invested to satisfy certain tests will harm our operating results.
Our investments in CLO securities may be less transparent to us and our stockholders than direct investments in the collateral.
CLO investments involve complex documentation and accounting considerations.
The application of the risk retention rules under Section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Act and other similar European Union law to CLOs may have broader effects on the CLO and loan markets in general, potentially resulting in fewer or less desirable investment opportunities for us.
Our investments in CLO securities may be subject to special anti-deferral provisions that could result in us incurring tax or recognizing income prior to receiving cash distributions related to such income.
If a CLO in which we invest fails to comply with certain U.S. tax disclosure requirements, such CLO may be subject to withholding requirements that could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.
Increased competition in the market or a decrease in new CLO issuances may result in increased price volatility or a shortage of investment opportunities.
The interest rates of our investments might be subject to change, including as a result of the transition away from LIBOR and the adoption of alternative reference rates, which could affect our results of operations.
The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business.
We are subject to risks associated with defaults on an underlying asset held by a CLO.
We are subject to risks associated with Loan Accumulation Facilities.
We are subject to risks associated with the bankruptcy or insolvency of an issuer or borrower of a loan that we hold or of an underlying asset held by a CLO in which we invest.
We may be exposed to risks if we invest in the securities of new issuers.
We and our investments may be subject to currency risk.
We and our investments are subject to risks associated with non-U.S. investing.
Any unrealized depreciation we experience on our portfolio may be an indication of future realized losses, which could reduce our income available for distribution or to make payments on our other obligations.
A portion of our income and fees may not be qualifying income for purposes of the income source requirement.
Downgrades by rating agencies of broadly syndicated loans could adversely impact the financial performance of the CLO vehicles in which we have invested and their ability to pay equity distributions to the Company in the future.
We are subject to risks relating to our securities.
Our shares of common stock have traded at a discount from NAV and our 6.125% Series C Term Preferred Stock due 2026 and our 5.25% Series E Term Preferred Stock due 2026 may not trade at a favorable price.
Our common stock price may be volatile and may decrease substantially.
SEC regulations may limit the number of shares we may sell pursuant to our shelf registration statement.
If we issue additional preferred stock, the net asset value and market value of our common stock will likely become more volatile.
Any amounts that we use to service our indebtedness or preferred dividends, or that we use to redeem our preferred stock, will not be available for distributions to our common stockholders.
Our common stock is subject to a risk of subordination relative to holders of our debt instruments and holders of our preferred stock.
Holders of any preferred stock we might issue have the right to elect members of our Board and class voting rights on certain matters.
You may not receive distributions or our distributions may decline or may not grow over time.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully deploy the proceeds of any offering within the timeframe we have contemplated.
The risk factor entitled “Events outside of our control, including public health crises, rising interest and inflation rates and significant market volatility, have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, our CLO investments and our results of operations.” in the Base Prospectus is replaced in its entirety as follows:
Events outside of our control, including public health crises, elevated interest and inflation rates and significant market volatility, have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, our CLO investments and our results of operations.
Periods of market volatility may continue to occur in response to rising interest and elevated inflation rates, public health crises, or other events outside of our control. These types of events will continue to lead to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies, may lead to a recession, and have adversely affected, and will continue to adversely affect, our operating results.
Inflation rates in the United States have increased and remain elevated. Food and energy costs have increased, reflecting labor market, supply chain and transportation disruptions. Since the beginning of 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve has raised interest rates several times to combat inflation, and may continue to do so.
Any of the foregoing factors, or other cascading effects of rising interest and elevated inflation rates, will materially increase our costs, negatively impact our investment income and damage our results of operations and liquidity position, possibly to a significant degree. These impacts, the duration of which remains uncertain, have affected and will continue to adversely affect the Company’s operating results.
The risk factor entitled “Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability” in the Base Prospectus is replaced in its entirety as follows:
Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability.
The current worldwide financial markets situation, as well as various social and political tensions in the United States and around the world, may contribute to increased market volatility, may have long term effects on the United States and worldwide financial markets, and may cause economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. For example, global financial markets are currently experiencing supply chain disruptions, significant labor and resource shortages, rising interest rates and a period of high inflation. In addition, there is currently geopolitical, economic and financial market instability in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and China.
The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the resulting global responses, including economic sanctions by the United States, the European Union and other countries, and the escalated armed conflict in the Middle East have increased and could continue to increase volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets and adversely affect regional and global economies. The extent and duration of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and the repercussions of such conflicts are impossible to predict, but could result in significant market disruptions and may further negatively affect global supply chains, energy prices, inflation and global growth.
We expect the current high inflationary environment to continue and some economists predict that the U.S. economy may enter an economic recession. The current economic and financial market instability as well as the risk of recession, may lead to financial institutions limiting their lending activity and refinancing transactions. It may become difficult for us to secure appropriate financing to finance the growth of our investments on acceptable economic terms. Market volatility is also likely to result in borrower defaults and/or restructuring of existing credit arrangements.
We may also be subject to risk arising from a default by one of several large institutions that are dependent on one another to meet their liquidity or operational needs, so that a default by one institution may cause a series of defaults by the other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as “systemic risk” and may adversely affect financial intermediaries with which we interact in the conduct of our business.
Overall uncertainty in the economic environment globally and in the United States may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability. We continuously monitor developments and seek to manage our investments in a manner consistent with achieving our investment objective, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.
The following risk factors have been added to the Base Prospectus:
Further downgrades of the U.S. credit rating, impending automatic spending cuts or a government shutdown could negatively impact the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and earnings.
U.S. debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns have increased the possibility of additional credit-rating downgrades and economic slowdowns, or a recession in the United States. Although U.S. lawmakers passed legislation to raise the federal debt ceiling on
multiple occasions, including a suspension of the federal debt ceiling in June 2023, ratings agencies have lowered or threatened to lower the long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States.
The impact of this or any further downgrades to the U.S. government’s sovereign credit rating or its perceived creditworthiness could adversely affect the U.S. and global financial markets and economic conditions. Absent further quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve, these developments could cause interest rates and borrowing costs to rise, which may negatively impact our ability to access the debt markets on favorable terms. In addition, disagreement over the federal budget has caused the U.S. federal government to shut down for periods of time and may lead to additional U.S. federal government shutdowns. Continued adverse political and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’ business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to risks associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.
Recent technological advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, or Machine Learning Technology, pose risks to the Company, OFS Advisor and any third parties that the Company engages with. The Company could be exposed to the risks of Machine Learning Technology if third-party service providers or any counterparties use Machine Learning Technology in their business activities. The Company and OFS Advisor are not in a position to control the use of Machine Learning Technology in third-party products or services. Use of Machine Learning Technology could include the input of confidential information in contravention of applicable policies, contractual or other obligations or restrictions, resulting in such confidential information becoming partly accessible by other third-party Machine Learning Technology applications and users. Machine Learning Technology and its applications continue to develop rapidly, and the Company cannot predict the risks that may arise from such developments.
Machine Learning Technology is generally highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data, and it is not possible or practicable to incorporate all relevant data into the model that Machine Learning Technology utilizes to operate. Certain data in such models will inevitably contain a degree of inaccuracy and error and could otherwise be inadequate or flawed, which would be likely to degrade the effectiveness of Machine Learning Technology. To the extent the Company exposed to the risks of Machine Learning Technology use, any such inaccuracies or errors could adversely impact the Company or its business.

General Description of Registrant [Abstract]                              
Risk [Text Block]
We are subject to risks related to our business and structure.
Our investment portfolio is recorded at fair value and OFS Advisor, our “valuation designee,” determines the fair value of our investments in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As a result, there will be uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments and the participation of OFS Advisor’s professionals in our valuation process could result in a conflict of interest.
Our financial condition and results of operations depend on OFS Advisor’s ability to effectively manage and deploy capital.
We are dependent upon the OFS senior professionals for our future success and upon their access to the investment professionals and partners of OFSAM and its affiliates.
OFS Advisor and OFS Services each has the right to resign on 60 days’ notice, and we may not be able to find a suitable replacement within that time, resulting in a disruption in our operations that could adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.
Our success will depend on the ability of OFS Advisor to attract and retain qualified personnel in a competitive environment.
Our incentive fee structure may incentivize OFS Advisor to pursue speculative investments, use leverage when it may be unwise to do so, refrain from de-levering when it would otherwise be appropriate to do so, or include optimistic assumptions in the determination of net investment income.
We may be obligated to pay OFS Advisor incentive compensation even if we incur a loss.
We may pay an incentive fee on income we do not receive in cash.
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.
The Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement were not negotiated on an arm's length basis and may not be as favorable to us as if they had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results.
Our Board may change our operating policies and strategies without stockholder approval, the effects of which may be adverse.
We will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates if we are unable to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC.
There is a risk that holders of our equity securities may not receive distributions or that our distributions may not grow or may be reduced over time.
We may choose to pay distributions in our own common stock, in which case, our stockholders may be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes in excess of the cash distributions they receive.
We may have difficulty paying our required distributions if we recognize income before or without receiving cash representing such income.
Because we expect to distribute substantially all of our ordinary income and net realized capital gains to our stockholders, we may need additional capital to finance the acquisition of new investments and such capital may not be available on favorable terms, or at all.
Our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates is restricted, which may limit the scope of investments available to us.
We may leverage our portfolio, which would magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and will increase the risk of investing in us.
Provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could deter takeover attempts and have an adverse effect on the price of our securities.
Events outside of our control, including public health crises, elevated interest and inflation rates and significant market volatility, have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, our CLO investments and our results of operations.
Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability.
Further downgrades of the U.S. credit rating, impending automatic spending cuts or a government shutdown could negatively impact the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and earnings.
Adverse developments in the credit markets may impair our ability to secure debt financing.
Terrorist attacks, acts of war or natural disasters may impact the businesses in which we invest and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
Cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents may adversely affect our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.
We are subject to risks associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.
The impact of legal, tax and regulatory changes in the United States is uncertain and may directly affect financial institutions and the global economy.
Our cash and cash equivalents could be adversely affected if the financial institutions in which we hold our cash and cash equivalents fail.

Risk [Text Block]
We are subject to risks related to our investments.
Investing in senior secured loans indirectly through CLO securities involves particular risks.
Our investments in CLO securities, and other structured finance securities involve certain risks.
Our investments in subordinated or equity CLO securities are more likely to suffer a loss of all or a portion of their value in the event of a default.
Our portfolio of investments may lack diversification among CLO securities or underlying obligors, which may subject us to a risk of significant loss if one or more of these CLO securities experience a high level of defaults on collateral.
Our portfolio is focused on CLO securities, and the CLO securities in which we invest may hold loans that are concentrated in a limited number of industries.
Failure by a CLO in which we are invested to satisfy certain tests will harm our operating results.
Our investments in CLO securities may be less transparent to us and our stockholders than direct investments in the collateral.
CLO investments involve complex documentation and accounting considerations.
The application of the risk retention rules under Section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Act and other similar European Union law to CLOs may have broader effects on the CLO and loan markets in general, potentially resulting in fewer or less desirable investment opportunities for us.
Our investments in CLO securities may be subject to special anti-deferral provisions that could result in us incurring tax or recognizing income prior to receiving cash distributions related to such income.
If a CLO in which we invest fails to comply with certain U.S. tax disclosure requirements, such CLO may be subject to withholding requirements that could materially and adversely affect our operating results and cash flows.
Increased competition in the market or a decrease in new CLO issuances may result in increased price volatility or a shortage of investment opportunities.
The interest rates of our investments might be subject to change, including as a result of the transition away from LIBOR and the adoption of alternative reference rates, which could affect our results of operations.
The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business.
We are subject to risks associated with defaults on an underlying asset held by a CLO.
We are subject to risks associated with Loan Accumulation Facilities.
We are subject to risks associated with the bankruptcy or insolvency of an issuer or borrower of a loan that we hold or of an underlying asset held by a CLO in which we invest.
We may be exposed to risks if we invest in the securities of new issuers.
We and our investments may be subject to currency risk.
We and our investments are subject to risks associated with non-U.S. investing.
Any unrealized depreciation we experience on our portfolio may be an indication of future realized losses, which could reduce our income available for distribution or to make payments on our other obligations.
A portion of our income and fees may not be qualifying income for purposes of the income source requirement.
Downgrades by rating agencies of broadly syndicated loans could adversely impact the financial performance of the CLO vehicles in which we have invested and their ability to pay equity distributions to the Company in the future.

We are subject to risks relating to our securities.
Our shares of common stock have traded at a discount from NAV and our 6.125% Series C Term Preferred Stock due 2026 and our 5.25% Series E Term Preferred Stock due 2026 may not trade at a favorable price.
Our common stock price may be volatile and may decrease substantially.
SEC regulations may limit the number of shares we may sell pursuant to our shelf registration statement.
If we issue additional preferred stock, the net asset value and market value of our common stock will likely become more volatile.
Any amounts that we use to service our indebtedness or preferred dividends, or that we use to redeem our preferred stock, will not be available for distributions to our common stockholders.
Our common stock is subject to a risk of subordination relative to holders of our debt instruments and holders of our preferred stock.
Holders of any preferred stock we might issue have the right to elect members of our Board and class voting rights on certain matters.
You may not receive distributions or our distributions may decline or may not grow over time.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully deploy the proceeds of any offering within the timeframe we have contemplated.

Events Outside Of Our Control Risk [Member]                              
General Description of Registrant [Abstract]                              
Risk [Text Block]
Events outside of our control, including public health crises, elevated interest and inflation rates and significant market volatility, have negatively affected, and could continue to negatively affect, our CLO investments and our results of operations.
Periods of market volatility may continue to occur in response to rising interest and elevated inflation rates, public health crises, or other events outside of our control. These types of events will continue to lead to disruptions in local, regional, national and global markets and economies, may lead to a recession, and have adversely affected, and will continue to adversely affect, our operating results.
Inflation rates in the United States have increased and remain elevated. Food and energy costs have increased, reflecting labor market, supply chain and transportation disruptions. Since the beginning of 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve has raised interest rates several times to combat inflation, and may continue to do so.
Any of the foregoing factors, or other cascading effects of rising interest and elevated inflation rates, will materially increase our costs, negatively impact our investment income and damage our results of operations and liquidity position, possibly to a significant degree. These impacts, the duration of which remains uncertain, have affected and will continue to adversely affect the Company’s operating results.
The risk factor entitled “Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability” in the Base Prospectus is replaced in its entirety as follows:
                           
Global Economic, Political and Market Risk [Member]

Risk [Text Block]
Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability.
The current worldwide financial markets situation, as well as various social and political tensions in the United States and around the world, may contribute to increased market volatility, may have long term effects on the United States and worldwide financial markets, and may cause economic uncertainties or deterioration in the United States and worldwide. For example, global financial markets are currently experiencing supply chain disruptions, significant labor and resource shortages, rising interest rates and a period of high inflation. In addition, there is currently geopolitical, economic and financial market instability in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and China.
The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the resulting global responses, including economic sanctions by the United States, the European Union and other countries, and the escalated armed conflict in the Middle East have increased and could continue to increase volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets and adversely affect regional and global economies. The extent and duration of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and the repercussions of such conflicts are impossible to predict, but could result in significant market disruptions and may further negatively affect global supply chains, energy prices, inflation and global growth.
We expect the current high inflationary environment to continue and some economists predict that the U.S. economy may enter an economic recession. The current economic and financial market instability as well as the risk of recession, may lead to financial institutions limiting their lending activity and refinancing transactions. It may become difficult for us to secure appropriate financing to finance the growth of our investments on acceptable economic terms. Market volatility is also likely to result in borrower defaults and/or restructuring of existing credit arrangements.
We may also be subject to risk arising from a default by one of several large institutions that are dependent on one another to meet their liquidity or operational needs, so that a default by one institution may cause a series of defaults by the other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as “systemic risk” and may adversely affect financial intermediaries with which we interact in the conduct of our business.
Overall uncertainty in the economic environment globally and in the United States may adversely affect our business, ability to secure debt financing, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability. We continuously monitor developments and seek to manage our investments in a manner consistent with achieving our investment objective, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.

In addition, disagreement over the federal budget has caused the U.S. federal government to shut down for periods of time and may lead to additional U.S. federal government shutdowns. Continued adverse political and economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’ business, financial condition and results of operations.
