Business Description

Solar Capital Ltd. incorporated in November 2007 in the state of Maryland. The Company is a closed-end, externally managed Investment Company that has elected to be treated as a business development Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Its investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in leveraged middle market companies in the form of senior secured loans, mezzanine loans and equity securities, and also invests in public companies that are thinly traded. Its business model is focused primarily on the direct origination of investments through portfolio companies or their financial sponsors. It is managed by Solar Capital Partners LLC. Solar Capital Management LLC provides the administrative services to operate. The Company may invest a portion of its portfolio in other types of investments, which it refers to as opportunistic investments, which are not primary focus but are intended to enhance overall returns. These investments may include, but are not limited to, direct investments in public companies that are not thinly traded and securities of leveraged companies located in select countries outside of the United States. The Company determines its revenue recognition policies which are as follows: Sales: Gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated by using the specific identification method; Interest Income: Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Origination, closing and/or commitment fees associated with investments in portfolio companies are accreted into interest income over the respective terms of the applicable loans; Non-accrual: Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management's judgment about ultimate collectability of principal. The Company's primary competitors provide financing to middle-market companies and include other BDCs, commercial and investment banks, commercial financing companies and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equity funds.
