Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and other parts of this report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. The discussion and analysis contained in this section refers to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Please see "Forward-Looking Statements" for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with this discussion and analysis. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to factors discussed under "Forward-Looking Statements" appearing elsewhere in this report.
Overview
The Company is an externally managed specialty finance company focused on lending to middle market companies. We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We are managed by the Advisor, a subsidiary of Bain Capital Credit. Our Advisor is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC under the Advisers Act. Our Advisor also provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate (in such capacity, our "Administrator"). The Company commenced operations on November 28, 2023. We seek to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation through direct originations of secured debt, including first lien, unitranche, including last-out portions of such loans, and second lien debt, subordinated debt, as well as through select equity investments, investments in strategic joint ventures and, to a lesser extent, corporate bonds.
We are a non-exchange traded, perpetual-life BDC whose shares are not listed for trading on a stock exchange or other securities market. The term "perpetual-life" is used to differentiate our structure from other BDCs who have a finite offering period and/or have a predefined time period to pursue a liquidity event or to wind down the fund. In contrast, in a perpetual-life BDC structure like ours, we expect to offer Common Shares continuously at a price equal to the monthly NAV per share and we have an indefinite duration, with no obligation to effect a liquidity event at any time. We generally intend to offer our common shareholders an opportunity to have their shares repurchased on a quarterly basis, subject to an aggregate cap of 5% of shares outstanding. However, the determination to repurchase shares in any given quarter is fully at the discretion of our Board, so investors may not always have access to liquidity when they desire it. See "Risk Factors."
Our primary focus is capitalizing on opportunities within Bain Capital Credit's Senior Direct Lending Strategy, as defined below, which seeks to provide risk-adjusted returns and current income to investors by investing primarily in middle-market direct lending opportunities across North America, Europe and Australia and also in other geographic markets. We use the term "middle market" to refer to companies with between $10.0 million and $150.0 million in annual EBITDA. However, we may, from time to time, invest in larger or smaller companies. We focus on (i) senior secured investments with a first or second lien on collateral and strong structures and documentation intended to protect the lender (including "unitranche" loans, which are loans that combine both senior and mezzanine debt) and (ii) mezzanine debt and other junior securities with a focus on downside protection. We generally seek to retain effective voting control in respect of the loans or particular class of securities in which we invest through maintaining affirmative voting positions or negotiating consent rights that allow us to retain a blocking position. We may also invest in mezzanine debt and other junior securities, including common and preferred equity and in secondary purchases of assets or portfolios, on an opportunistic basis, but such investments are not the principal focus of our investment strategy. We may also invest, from time to time, in distressed debt, debtor-in-possession loans, structured products, structurally subordinate loans, investments with deferred interest features, zero-coupon securities and defaulted securities. Our debt investments may be at fixed or floating interest rates, and our floating rate investments may utilize one or more reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Our investments are subject to a number of risks.
We generate revenues primarily through receipt of interest income from the investments we hold. In addition, we generate income from various loan origination and other fees, dividends on direct equity investments and capital gains on the sales of investments. The companies in which we invest use our capital for a variety of reasons, including to support organic growth, to fund changes of control, to fund acquisitions, to make capital investments and for refinancing and recapitalizations.
Leverage may be utilized to help the Company meet its investment objective. Any such leverage would be expected to increase the total capital available for investment by the Company.
We may invest in debt securities which are either rated below investment grade or not rated by any rating agency but, if they were rated, would be rated below investment grade. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as "junk," have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be illiquid and difficult to value.
Following our initial public offering, the value at which our new Common Shares may be offered, or our Common Shares may be repurchased, will be equal to our monthly NAV per share. In addition, an investment in our Common Shares has limited or no liquidity beyond our share repurchase program, and our share repurchase program can be modified, suspended or terminated at the Board's discretion. Our Common Shares may be purchased by any investor who meets the minimum suitability requirements described under "Suitability Standards" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Purchases of our Common Shares must be fully funded at the time of subscription.
We have a perpetual life and may continue to take in new capital on a continuous basis at a value generally equal to our NAV per share. We will be continually originating new investments to the extent we raise additional capital. We will also be regularly recycling capital from our existing investors into new investments.
Investments
Our level of investment activity may vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the level of investment and capital expenditures of such companies, the general economic environment, the amount of capital we have available to us and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.
As a BDC, we may not acquire any assets other than "qualifying assets" specified in the 1940 Act, unless, at the time the acquisition is made, at least 70% of our total assets are qualifying assets (with certain limited exceptions). Qualifying assets include investments in "eligible portfolio companies." Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, "eligible portfolio companies" include certain companies that do not have any securities listed on a national securities exchange and public companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange but whose market capitalization is less than $250 million.
As a BDC, we may also invest up to 30% of our portfolio opportunistically in "non-qualifying" portfolio investments, such as investments in non-U.S. companies.
Revenues
We generate revenues primarily through receipt of interest income from the investments we hold. In addition, we generate income from various loan origination and other fees, dividends on direct equity investments and capital gains on the sales of investments. The companies in which we invest use our capital for a variety of reasons, including to support organic growth, to fund changes of control, to fund acquisitions, to make capital investments and for refinancing and recapitalizations. Leverage may be utilized to help the Company meet its investment objective. Any such leverage would be expected to increase the total capital available for investment by the Company.
Our debt investment portfolio consists of primarily floating rate loans. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 93.5% and 98.2%, respectively, of our debt investments, based on fair value, bore interest at floating rates, which may be subject to interest rate floors. Variable-rate investments subject to a floor generally reset periodically to the applicable floor, only if the floor exceeds the index. Trends in base interest rates, such as SOFR, may affect our net investment income over the long term. In addition, our results may vary from period to period depending on the interest rates of new investments made during the period compared to investments
that were sold or repaid during the period; these results reflect the characteristics of the particular portfolio companies that we invested in or exited during the period and not necessarily any trends in our business or macroeconomic trends.
Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.
Expenses
Our primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement, our allocable portion of overhead expenses under the Administration Agreement and other operating costs described below. We bear all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of our operations and transactions, including:
To the extent that expenses to be borne by us are paid by our Advisor, we will generally reimburse our Advisor for such expenses. To the extent the Administrator outsources any of its functions, we will pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without profit to the Administrator. We also reimburse the Administrator for its costs and expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and compensation paid to or compensatory distributions received by our officers (including our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer) and any of their respective staff who provide services to us, operations staff who provide services to us, internal audit staff, if any, to the extent internal audit performs a role in our Sarbanes-Oxley Act internal control assessment and fees paid to third-party providers for goods or services. Our allocable portion of overhead will be determined by the Administrator, which expects to use various methodologies such as allocation based on the percentage of time certain individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to our business and affairs, and will be subject to oversight by the Board. We incurred expenses related to the Administrator of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is included in other general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We incurred expenses related to the Administrator of $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is included in other general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The sub-administrator is paid its compensation for performing its sub-administrative services under the sub-administration agreement. We incurred expenses related to the sub-administrator of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is included in other general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We incurred expenses related to the sub-administrator of $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is included in other general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Advisor will not be reimbursed to the extent that such reimbursements would cause any distributions to our shareholders to constitute a return of capital. All of the foregoing expenses are ultimately borne by our shareholders.
BCSF Advisors, LP, in its capacity as our investment adviser prior to September 28, 2023, and the Advisor advanced all expenses incurred on our behalf through the date on which we broke escrow for our offering.
Leverage
From time to time, we may borrow funds, including under our credit facilities, or issue debt securities or preferred securities to make additional investments or for other purposes. This is known as "leverage" and could increase or decrease returns to our shareholders. The use of borrowed funds or the proceeds of preferred securities offerings to make investments has specific benefits and risks, and all of the costs of borrowing funds or issuing preferred securities are borne by our shareholders. As a BDC, with certain limited exceptions, we may only borrow amounts such that our asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, is in compliance with the ratio for BDCs set forth in the 1940 Act. The Company is permitted to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage ratio is at least 150% after such borrowing (if certain requirements are met). As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's asset coverage ratio was 213.6% and 194.8%, respectively.
Our leverage may take the form of revolving or term loans from financial institutions, secured or unsecured bonds, securitization of portions of our investment portfolio via collateralized loan obligations or preferred shares.
Investment Decision Process
The Advisor's investment process can be broken into five processes: (1) Sourcing and Idea Generation, (2) Investment Diligence & Recommendation, (3) Credit Committee Approval, (4) Portfolio Construction and (5) Portfolio & Risk Management.
Sourcing and Idea Generation
The investment decision-making process begins with sourcing ideas. Bain Capital Credit's Private Credit Group interacts with a broad and deep set of global sourcing contacts, enabling the group to generate a large set of middle-market investment opportunities. Further enhancing the sourcing capability of the core Private Credit Group are Bain Capital Credit's industry groups, Trading Desk, and the Bain Capital Special Situations team. The team has extensive contacts with private equity firms. Relationships with banks, a variety of advisors and intermediaries and a handful of unique independent sponsors compose the remainder of the relationships. Through these sourcing efforts the Private Credit Group has built a sustainable deal funnel, which has generated hundreds of opportunities to review annually.
Investment Diligence & Recommendation
Our Advisor utilizes Bain Capital Credit's bottom-up approach to investing, and it starts with due diligence. The Private Credit Group works with the close support of Bain Capital Credit's industry groups on performing due diligence. This process typically begins with a detailed review of the offering memorandum as well as Bain Capital Credit's own independent diligence efforts, including in-house materials and expertise, third-party independent research and interviews, and hands-on field checks where appropriate. For deals that progress beyond an initial stage, the team will schedule one or more meetings with company management, facilities visits and also meetings with the sponsor in order to ask more detailed questions and to better understand the sponsor's view of the business and plans for it going forward. The team's diligence work is summarized in investment memorandums and accompanying credit packs. Work product also includes full models and covenant analysis. The approval process itself is iterative, involving multiple levels of discussion and approval.
Credit Committee Approval
Given Bain Capital Credit's broad and diverse range of investment strategies, we tailor our investment decision-making process by strategy to provide a robust and comprehensive discussion of both individual investments and the applicable portfolio(s) under consideration. We believe that this flexible approach provides a rigorous investment decision-making process that allows us to be nimble across a variety of market environments while still maintaining high credit underwriting standards.
Our investments require approval from at least the Private Credit Investment Committee, which includes three Partners in the Private Credit Group as standing members: Michael Ewald, Mike Boyle, and Carolyn Hastings. Ad hoc members may also be included in the Private Credit Investment Committee for certain types of investments.
Portfolio Construction
Portfolio construction is largely the responsibility of the portfolio managers. The portfolio managers will construct the portfolio using a set of approved investments. While the decision to buy generally requires approval from at least the Private Credit Investment Committee, the decision to sell securities is at the sole discretion of the portfolio managers. For middle-market holdings, the path to exit an investment is discussed at credit committee meetings, including restructurings, acquisitions and sale to strategic buyers. Since most middle-market investments are illiquid, exits are driven primarily by a sale of the portfolio company or a refinancing of the portfolio company's debt.
Portfolio & Risk Management
Our Advisor utilizes Bain Capital Credit's Private Credit Group for the daily monitoring of its respective credits after an investment has been made. Our Advisor believes that the ongoing monitoring of financial performance and market developments of portfolio investments is critical to successful investment management. Accordingly, our Advisor is actively involved in an on-going portfolio review process and attends board meetings. To the extent a portfolio investment is not meeting our Advisor's expectations, our Advisor takes corrective action when it deems appropriate, which may include raising interest rates, gaining a more influential role on its board, taking warrants and, where appropriate, restructuring the balance sheet to take control of the company. Our Advisor will utilize the Bain Capital Credit Risk and Oversight Committee. The Risk and Oversight Committee is responsible for monitoring and reviewing risk management, including portfolio risk, counterparty risk and firm-wide risk issues. In addition to the methods noted above, there are a number of proprietary methods and tools used through all levels of Bain Capital Credit to manage portfolio risk.
Portfolio and Investment Activity
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we invested $290.9 million, including PIK, in 61 portfolio companies, and had $113.8 million in aggregate amount of principal repayment and sales, resulting in a net increase in investment of $177.1 million for the period.

Of the $387.6 million invested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, $32.1 million was related to drawdowns on delayed draw term loans and revolvers of our portfolio companies.

Loans or debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest generally is reversed when a loan or debt security is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans or debt securities may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment. Non-accrual loans and debt securities are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current. We may make exceptions to this treatment if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was one and zero loans placed on non-accrual in the Company's portfolio, respectively.

Our Advisor monitors our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. It monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company to determine if they are meeting their respective business plans and to assess the appropriate course of action for each company. The Advisor has several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include the following:
Our Advisor rates the investments in our portfolio at least quarterly and it is possible that the rating of a portfolio investment may be reduced or increased over time. For investments rated 3 or 4, our Advisor enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company. Our internal performance ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments.

Bain Capital Senior Loan Program II, LLC
On December 27, 2024, the Company and an entity advised by Amberstone Co., Ltd. ("Amberstone"), a credit focused investment manager that advises institutional investors, committed capital to a newly formed joint venture, Bain Capital Senior Loan Program II, LLC ("SLP II"). Pursuant to an amended and restated limited liability company agreement between the Company and Amberstone, each such party has a 50% economic ownership interest in SLP II. Total initial capital commitments to SLP II are $100 million, with each party expected to maintain their pro rata proportionate share for each capital contribution. SLP II will seek to invest primarily in senior secured first lien loans of U.S. borrowers. Investment decisions and all other material decisions in respect of SLP II must be approved by representatives of the Company and Amberstone.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company's investment in SLP II consisted of subordinated notes of $17.2 million, preferred equity interests of $0.1 million and equity interests of $4.1 million. As of December 31, 2024, SLP II had not commenced operations and the Company had no investment in SLP II. The Company and Amberstone each appointed two members to SLP II's four-person Member Designees' Committee. All material decisions with respect to SLP II, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of Member Designees' Committee. The Company does not consolidate its investments in SLP II as it is not a substantially wholly owned investment company subsidiary. In addition, the Company does not control SLP II due to the allocation of voting rights among SLP II members.

Interest Rate Swap
We use interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk associated with our fixed rate liabilities and have designated certain interest rate swaps to be in a hedge accounting relationship. See "Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and "Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 7. Derivatives" for additional disclosure regarding our accounting for derivative instruments designated in a hedge accounting relationship, and our consolidated schedule of investments for additional disclosure regarding these derivative instruments. See "Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 6. Debt" for additional disclosure regarding the carrying value of our debt.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $21.3 million and $7.4 million, respectively. Based on the weighted average Common Shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.77 and $0.73, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $48.4 million and $16.8 million, respectively. Based on the weighted average Common Shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $2.06 and $2.38, respectively.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources are derived primarily from proceeds from equity issuances, advances from our credit facilities (including the GS Revolving Credit Facility, JPM Revolving Credit Facility and the SMBC Revolving Credit Facility), debt issuances and cash flows from operations. We use the net proceeds from the offering to (1) make investments in accordance with our investment strategy and policies, (2) fund repurchases under our share repurchase program, and (3) for general corporate purposes. Generally, our policy is to pay distributions and operating expenses from cash flow from operations, however, we are not restricted from funding these items from proceeds from the offering of Common Shares or other sources and may choose to do so, particularly in the earlier part of the offering.
We intend to continue to generate cash primarily from cash flows from operations, future borrowings and future offerings of securities. We may from time to time raise additional equity or debt capital through registered offerings, enter into additional debt facilities, or increase the size of existing facilities or issue debt securities. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. We are required to meet an asset coverage ratio, defined under the 1940 Act as the ratio of our total assets (less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities) to our outstanding senior securities, of at least 150% after each issuance of senior securities. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $671.0 million and $378.1 million outstanding senior securities, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $41.5 million and $16.4 million in cash, foreign cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents, respectively.
At September 30, 2025, we had approximately $351.0 million of availability on our SMBC Revolving Credit Facility, $2.1 million of availability on our GS Revolving Credit Facility and $2.2 million of availability on our JPM Revolving Credit Facility, subject to existing terms and regulatory requirements. At December 31, 2024, we had approximately $243.0 million of availability on our SMBC Revolving Credit Facility, $9.9 million of availability on our GS Revolving Credit Facility and $134.0 million of availability on our JPM Revolving Credit Facility, subject to existing terms and regulatory requirements.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash, foreign cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents increased by $25.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we used $617.1 million in cash for operating activities. The increase in cash used for operating activities was primarily related to the purchases of investments of $919.7 million, which was offset by proceeds from principal payments and sales of investments of $268.4 million and a net increase in assets resulting from operations of $48.4 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we utilized $641.5 million for financing activities, primarily due to borrowings on our GS Revolving Credit Facility, JPM Revolving Credit Facility and SMBC Revolving Credit Facility and proceeds from issuance of Common Shares offset by repayments of debt.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash, foreign cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents decreased by $11.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used $306.3 million in cash for operating activities. The increase in cash used for operating activities was primarily related to the purchases of investments of $391.1 million, which was offset by proceeds from principal payments and sales of investments of $73.2 million and a net increase in assets resulting from operations of $16.8 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we provided $294.8 million for financing activities, primarily due to borrowings on the GS Revolving Credit Facility, JPM Revolving Credit Facility and SMBC Revolving Credit Facility, proceeds from issuance of Common Shares and distributions paid to shareholders.

Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the record date. To the extent that we have income available, we intend to distribute monthly distributions to our shareholders. Our monthly distributions, if any, will be determined by the Advisor. Any distributions to our shareholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution.
Sources of distributions, other than net investment income and realized gains on a U.S. GAAP basis, include required adjustments to U.S. GAAP net investment income in the current period to determine taxable income available for distributions. The following tables reflect the sources of cash distributions on a U.S. GAAP basis that the Company declared on its Common Shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

We commenced regular monthly distributions after breaking escrow on November 28, 2023. The Board delegated authority to declare distributions to the Advisor in an aggregate amount up to all of the Company's (i) taxable earnings; (ii) capital gains; (iii) net proceeds attributable to the repayment or disposition of investments (together with any interest, dividends and other net cash flow in respect of such investments); and (iv) any other amounts legally available for distribution to the extent the officers of the Company deem appropriate (including, if applicable, amounts representing a return of capital); provided each distribution shall not exceed an annualized distribution yield of 10%. Any distributions we make will be at the discretion of our Advisor, who will consider, among other things, our earnings, cash flow, capital needs and general financial condition, as well as our desire to comply with the RIC
requirements, which generally require us to make aggregate annual distributions to our shareholders of at least 90% of our net investment income. As a result, our distribution rates and payment frequency may vary from time to time and there is no assurance we will pay distributions in any particular amount, if at all.
The per share amount of distributions on Class S, Class D and Class I shares will generally differ because of different class-specific shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees that are deducted from the gross distributions for each share class.
We have elected to be treated, and intend to operate in a manner so as to continuously qualify, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify for and maintain RIC tax treatment, among other things, we must distribute dividends to our shareholders in respect of each taxable year of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of the sum of our net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of our net long-term capital losses. In order to avoid the imposition of certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we must distribute dividends to our shareholders in respect of each calendar year of an amount at least equal to the sum of: (1) 98% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for such calendar year; (2) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses, adjusted for certain ordinary losses, generally for the one-year period ending on October 31 of such calendar year; and (3) the sum of any net ordinary income plus capital gains net income for preceding years that were not distributed during such years and on which we paid no federal income tax.
The U.S. federal income tax characterization of distributions declared and paid for the fiscal year will be determined at fiscal year-end based upon our investment company taxable income for the full fiscal year and distributions paid during the full year.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, which is an "opt-out" distribution reinvestment plan.
Under this plan, shareholders (other than those located in specific states, who are clients of selected participating brokers, as outlined below, or who have elected to "opt out" of the plan) will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of our Common Shares to which the distribution relates. If a shareholder elects to "opt out," that shareholder will receive cash distributions. The purchase price for shares purchased under our distribution reinvestment plan will be equal to the then current NAV per share of the relevant class of Common Shares. Shareholders will not pay transaction related charges when purchasing shares under our distribution reinvestment plan, but all outstanding Class S and Class D shares, including those purchased under our distribution reinvestment plan, will be subject to ongoing servicing fees. The U.S. federal income tax characterization of distributions declared and paid for the fiscal year will be determined at fiscal year-end based upon our investment company taxable income for the full fiscal year and distributions paid during the full year.
Share Repurchase Program
Subject to the discretion of the Board, we commenced a share repurchase program pursuant to which we intend to conduct quarterly repurchase offers to allow our shareholders to tender their shares at a price equal to the NAV per share for the applicable class of shares on each date of repurchase. Our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter.
Under our share repurchase program, to the extent we offer to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, we intend to limit the number of shares to be repurchased to no more than 5% of our outstanding Common Shares as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter. In the event the number of shares tendered exceeds the repurchase offer amount, shares will be repurchased on a pro rata basis. All unsatisfied repurchase requests must be resubmitted in the next quarterly tender offer, or upon the recommencement of the share repurchase program, as applicable. We may choose to offer to repurchase fewer shares than described above, or none at all.
We expect to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers each quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV (an "Early Repurchase Deduction"). The one-year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective repurchase date. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived, at our discretion, in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Company for the benefit of remaining shareholders. We intend to conduct the repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased by us pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

We have determined we meet the definition of an investment company and follow the accounting and reporting guidance in FASB ASC 946. Our financial currency is U.S. dollars and these Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in that currency.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Revenue Recognition
We record our investment transactions on a trade date basis. We record realized gains and losses based on the specific identification method. We record interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, on an accrual basis. Discount and premium to par value on investments acquired are accreted and amortized, respectively, into interest income over the life of the respective investment using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized and amortized into or against interest income using the effective interest method or straight-line method, as applicable. We record any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts received upon prepayment of a loan or debt security as interest income.
Dividend income on preferred equity investments is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity investments is recorded on the record date for such distributions in the case of private portfolio companies, and on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. Distributions received from a limited liability company or limited partnership investment are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital.
Certain investments may have contractual PIK interest or dividends. PIK represents accrued interest or accumulated dividends that are added to the loan principal of the investment on the respective interest or dividend payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at maturity or upon being called by the issuer. We record PIK as interest or dividend income, as applicable. If at any point we believe PIK may not be realized, we place the investment generating PIK on non-accrual status.
Certain structuring fees and amendment fees are recorded as other income when earned. We record administrative agent fees received as other income when the services are rendered.
Valuation of Portfolio Investments
The Advisor shall value the investments owned by the Company, subject at all times to the oversight of the Board. The Advisor shall follow its own written valuation policies and procedures as approved by the Board when determining valuations. A short summary of the Advisor's valuation policies is below.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designates the Advisor as valuation designee to perform fair value determinations for the Company for investments that do not have readily available market quotations. Market quotations are obtained from an independent pricing service, where available. If a price cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service or if the independent pricing service is not deemed to be current with the market, certain investments held by the Company will be valued on the basis of prices provided by principal market makers. Generally, investments marked in this manner will be marked at the mean of the bid and ask of the independent broker quotes obtained. To validate market quotations, the Company utilizes a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available will be valued at a price that reflects such security's fair value.
With respect to unquoted portfolio investments, the Company will value each investment considering, among other measures, discounted cash flow models, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, and other factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Company will use the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate and/or assist us in our valuation. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.
With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, in particular, illiquid/hard to value assets, the Advisor will typically undertake a multi-step valuation process, which includes among other things, the below:
In following this approach, the types of factors that are taken into account in the fair value pricing of investments include, as relevant, but are not limited to: comparison to publicly traded securities, including factors such as yield, maturity and measures of credit quality; the enterprise value of a portfolio company; the nature and realizable value of any collateral; the portfolio company's ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flows; and the markets in which the portfolio company does business. In cases where an independent valuation firm provides fair valuations for investments, the independent valuation firm provides a fair valuation report, a description of the methodology used to determine the fair value and their analysis and calculations to support their conclusion.
Contractual Obligations
We have entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with our Advisor. Our Advisor has agreed to serve as our investment adviser in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay an annual base management fee as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance.
On September 28, 2023, the Company entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor. The Investment Advisory Agreement was approved by the Board and sole shareholder on September 28, 2023. In connection with the Company's entry into the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company's prior investment advisory agreement with BCSF Advisors, LP was terminated on September 28, 2023. The Investment Advisory Agreement has the same material terms as the prior investment advisory agreement. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% (0.1875% per quarter) of our gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds or other forms of leverage but excluding cash and cash equivalents and the incentive fee comprised of two parts, net investment income and capital gains.
We have entered into an Administration Agreement with the Administrator pursuant to which the Administrator will furnish us with administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. The Administration Agreement was approved by our Board on September 28, 2023. We reimburse the Administrator for its costs and expenses and our allocable portion of overhead incurred by it in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including certain compensation paid to or compensatory distributions received by our officers (including our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer) and any of their respective staff who provide services to us, operations staff who provide services to us, and internal audit staff, if any, to the extent internal audit performs a role in our Sarbanes-Oxley Act internal control assessment. In connection with our entry into the Administration Agreement, the Company's prior administration agreement with BCSF Advisors, LP (the "Prior Administration Agreement") was terminated on September 28, 2023. The Administration Agreement has the same material terms as the Prior Administration Agreement.
If any of our contractual obligations discussed above are terminated, our costs may increase under any new agreements that we enter into as replacements. We would also likely incur expenses in locating alternative parties to provide the services we expect to receive under our Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement.
