Semiannual Report – June 30, 2024

Letter to Stockholders and Management Discussion of Company Performance
Dear Fellow Stockholders:
We are pleased to provide you with the enclosed report of Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The Company is a closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and is advised by Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (the “Adviser”). The Company’s primary investment objective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. We seek to achieve these objectives by investing primarily in equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). We may also invest in other securities or instruments that are related investments or that are consistent with our investment objectives.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an increase in net assets resulting from operations of $31.1 million, or $0.36 per weighted average common share.1 This represents a non-annualized GAAP ROE of 4.43% during the first half of 2024.2 From December 31, 2023 through June 30, 2024, we paid $0.96 per share in regular monthly and variable supplemental distributions to our common stockholders and the Company’s NAV per common share decreased 5% from $9.21 to $8.75 per common share primarily due to unrealized losses incurred in June.
Among other highlights, in the first half of 2024, we:
| |
▪ |
Purchased CLO equity investments at in both the primary and secondary market for a weighted average effective yield (“WAEY”) of 19.42%. |
| |
▪ |
Actively managed our CLO equity portfolio by investing in CLO equity with longer reinvestment periods and completing a number of CLO resets such that the weighted average remaining reinvestment period, or “WARRP,” of the Company’s CLO equity portfolio increased to 2.7 years as of June 30, 2024 (compared to 2.4 years as of December 31, 2023) despite the passage of six months. We believe having as long of a WARRP as possible provides the opportunity to capitalize on discounted loan prices to build par in the long run when bouts of volatility occur. |
| |
▪ |
Received strong and consistent cash flows from our investment portfolio in excess of expenses and common stock distributions. |
| |
▪ |
Maintained our aggregate monthly common distribution of $0.16 per share (consisting of variable supplemental monthly distributions of $0.02 per common share, in addition to our regular monthly distributions of $0.14 per common share) through the end of 2024.3 |
Past performance is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance.
Please see page 12 for endnotes.
We believe our portfolio continues to have the potential for additional upside. In our general view, CLOs are not particularly sensitive to interest rate movements, as underlying broadly syndicated loans (“BSLs”) and CLO liabilities are both principally floating rate. The weighted average expected yield4 of our CLO equity portfolio (excluding called CLOs), based on current market values and expected future cash flows, was 22.36% as of June 30, 2024 which we believe represents an attractive value. This compares to 27.10% as of December 31, 2023.
We continue to prudently and actively manage the Company’s capital structure while raising capital to take advantage of available investment opportunities. During the first half of 2024, the Company raised $196.3 million of additional common equity through our “at-the-market” (“ATM”) program. The equity issuances were beneficial to the Company as common shares were issued at a premium to NAV, resulting in $0.17 per weighted average common share of NAV accretion, with net proceeds utilized, among other things, to expand our investment portfolio. Due to our capital raising and strong cash flows generated by our portfolio, we actively deployed $406.5 million into new CLO equity, CLO debt and other investments in the first half of 2024.
In January, we raised $47.1 million in net proceeds for investment through the issuance of 8.00% Series F Term Preferred Stock due 2029 (the “Series F Term Preferred Stock”). In May, we launched our first continuous offering of 7.00% Series AA and Series AB Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series AA and Series AB Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock”), generating an additional $8.7 million in net proceeds through June 30, 2024. We believe the convertible offering will be significantly accretive over time.
We continue to have no financing maturities prior to April 2028. All of our debt and preferred stock is fixed rate and we have no secured or “repo”-style financing. The weighted average maturity of our outstanding financing stood at 6.7 years5, and our weighted average cost of our financing was only 6.52% as of June 30, 2024. We believe this attractive financing, which was put in place prudently over the past six years, couldn’t be recreated in today’s interest rate environment.

Company Overview
Common Stock
The Company’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “ECC.” As of June 30, 2024, the NAV per share of the Company’s common stock was $8.75. The trading price of our common stock may, and often does, differ from NAV per share. The closing price per share of our common stock was $10.05 on June 30, 2024, representing a 14.86% premium to NAV per share.6 For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s non-annualized total return to common stockholders, on a market price basis and assuming reinvestment of distributions, was approximately 16.84%.7
From our IPO on October 7, 2014 through June 30, 2024, our common stock has traded on average at a 10.9% premium to NAV. As of July 31, 2024, the closing price per share of common stock was $9.95, a premium of 13.71% compared to the NAV of $8.75 as of June 30, 2024.
In connection with our ATM offering program, the Company sold approximately 19.9 million shares of our common stock at a premium to NAV during the six months ended June 30, 2024 for total net proceeds to the Company of approximately $196.3 million. The common stock sales resulted in $0.17 per weighted average common share of NAV accretion.
During the first half of 2024, the Company paid to common stockholders aggregate distributions totaling $0.96 per share of common stock. An investor who purchased common stock as part of our IPO at $20.00 per share and held their position through July 31, 2024 has received total cash distributions of $21.11 per share, more than the IPO price. A certain portion of these distributions was comprised of a return of capital as described at the time of the applicable distribution.8
For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded net investment income (“NII”) and realized gains of $0.29 per weighted average common share, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded NII, less realized losses of $0.16 per weighted average common share. The second quarter realized losses were principally driven by the write down of the amortized cost to fair value of several investments that were at least one year past their reinvestment period end date. Since the fair value of the investments had already been previously reflected in the Company’s NAV, there was no impact to NAV as a result of the write down. Excluding the write down, our second quarter NII and realized gains would have been $0.31 per weighted average common share.
The Company is pleased to continue declaring a monthly variable supplemental common distribution of $0.02 per share in addition to a regular monthly common stock distribution of $0.14 per share through December 2024, resulting in an aggregate monthly common distribution of $0.16 per share.
We also want to highlight the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan for common stockholders. This plan allows common stockholders to have their distributions automatically reinvested into new shares of common stock. If the prevailing market price of our common stock exceeds our NAV per share, such reinvestment is at a discount (up to five percent) to the prevailing market
Past performance is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance.

price. If the prevailing market price of our common stock is less than our NAV per share, such reinvestment is at the prevailing market price, subject to the terms in the dividend reinvestment plan. We encourage all common stockholders to carefully review the terms of the plan. See “Dividend Reinvestment Plan” in the enclosed report.
Common Distributions
The Company paid distributions to common stockholders totaling $0.96 per share as of June 30, 2024. The Company also declared aggregate monthly common distributions of $0.16 per share, inclusive of a regular distribution of $0.14 per share and a variable supplemental distribution of $0.02 per share, through December 2024. Please note that the actual frequency, components and amount of such distributions are subject to variation over time.

In May, we launched our first continuous offering of Series AA and Series AB Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock which are unlisted and do not trade on the NYSE. We have raised $8.7 million in net proceeds from this offering through June 2024. We believe our offering of Series AA and Series AB Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock will be significantly accretive over time.
The weighted average maturity on our outstanding notes and preferred stock as of June 30, 2024 was approximately 6.7 years and the weighted average cost of capital was 6.52%. In addition,

all of our financing is fixed rate with the earliest maturity not until April 2028, providing us with added certainty.
As of June 30, 2024, we had debt and preferred securities outstanding which totaled approximately 28.4% of our total assets (less current liabilities). Over the long term, management expects the Company to operate under normal market conditions generally with leverage within a range of 25% to 35% of total assets, although the actual amount of leverage will vary over time. As market conditions evolve, or should significant opportunities present themselves, the Company may incur leverage outside of this range, subject to applicable regulatory and contractual limits.
Past performance is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance.

Portfolio Overview
First Half 2024 Portfolio Update
Our investment portfolio continues to generate strong and consistent cash flows. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received $128 million of recurring cash distributions from our investment portfolio, excluding called CLOs, or $1.48 per weighted average common share, compared to cash flows of $96 million, or $1.64 per weighted average common share, received in the first half of 2023. Cash flows were somewhat impacted in the first quarter of 2024 by higher loan prepayments, which led to higher cash balances in many CLOs, as well as an increase in off-cycle semi-annual paying loans and bonds in the underlying CLO portfolios. These timing issues normalized in the following quarter, leading to an increase in cash flows for the second quarter versus the first quarter.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company deployed $406.5 million into new CLO equity, CLO debt and other investments. Of this amount, $233.4 million represented primary and secondary CLO equity at a WAEY of 19.42%. The Company also sold $140.6 million of CLO equity, CLO debt investments and other investments.
Included within this semiannual report, you will find detailed portfolio information, including certain look-through information related to the underlying collateral characteristics of the CLO equity that we held as of June 30, 2024.

Market Overview9
Loan Market
For the first half of 2024, loan performance was stable. The Credit Suisse Leverage Loan Index10 (“CSLLI”), which is a broad index followed by many tracking the corporate loan market, generated a non-annualized total return of 4.44% in the first half of 2024. There was an increase in loan refinancing and repricing activity in the second quarter. Interest rates remained elevated, helping to maintain the attractive current coupons on floating rate loans.
Average loan prices finished the first half of 2024 at 95.68, a modest increase from 95.32 at the beginning of the year.
Loan issuance totaled $289 billion for the first half of 2024, compared to $103 billion for the first half of 2023. Total institutional loans outstanding stood at $1.4 trillion as of June 30, 2024.
The trailing 12-month par-weighted default rate finished June at 0.92%, compared to 1.53% at the end of 2023, and remaining well below the long-term average of 2.65%.11 While many CLO investors focus on default rates, we believe the market does not give enough consideration to loan repayment rates and the reinvestment period tenor within CLOs, which allows CLOs to purchase loans at a discount. With over $44 billion of BSLs repaying at par in June, the 12-month trailing loan prepayment rate increased to 25.3% as of June 30, 2024.
Part of these repayments relate to refinancing of loans coming due. As of June 30, 2024, less than 3% of the loan market was set to mature prior to 2026 and the “maturity wall” continues to be pushed out; 2025 and 2026 maturities have each been reduced by over 50% since the beginning of the year. Only 2.0% of the loans in the portfolios of our underlying CLO equity positions mature prior to 2026.
CLO Market
The first half of 2024 saw CLO new issue at the fastest pace ever, with approximately $102 billion of volume, which is over 80% higher than new issue volume at the same time last year. Third party CLO equity investors have returned to the new issue market in 2024 as CLO AAAs have tightened, which has also driven a large increase in CLO refinancing and reset activity to over $110 billion combined. We appear comfortably on pace to break the previous issuance records set in 2021.
In the first half of 2024, there were approximately $50 billion of CLO AAA paydowns, and research reports expect another $30 billion of CLO AAA paydowns in July. Absent unexpected volatility, tightening pressure on CLO AAA spreads will likely remain and encourage more CLO refinancing and reset activity.
As of June 30, 2024, CLO AAA discount margins, or DMs, averaged approximately 142 basis points over SOFR, a decrease of 33 basis points since the end of 2023.
Past performance is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance.
Please see page 12 for endnotes.
The underlying fundamentals of CLO portfolios remain strong. The median marketwide CCC-rated loan exposure for U.S. CLOs was just 6.6%, with average OC cushions of 3.2% on June 30, 2024. For context, approximately 6.3% of U.S. CLOs recorded a breach of their overcollateralization test as of June 30, 2024. In other words, over 93% of U.S. CLOs continued to pay cash distributions to their CLO equity investors. For reference, based on fair market value, 98.9% of our portfolio of CLO equity with a payment date in July received a distribution.
We remain excited about the investment opportunities within the CLO market – in particular the equity portion of the capital structure. Our investment portfolio, as well as the right side of our balance sheet, was intentionally designed for markets like these.

During that same period, the Company deployed $79.3 million in net capital into CLO equity, CLO debt, loan accumulation facilities and other investments. As of July 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $77 million of cash available for investment.

Notes
| |
1 |
“Weighted average common share” is calculated based on the average daily number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and “per common share” refers to per share of the Company’s common stock. |
| |
2 |
Return on our common equity reflects the Company’s cumulative monthly performance net of applicable expenses and fees measured against beginning capital adjusted for any common equity issued during the period. |
| |
3 |
The declared supplemental distributions during 2024 relate to the excess of the Company’s estimated taxable income for the tax year ended November 30, 2023 over the aggregate amount distributed to common stockholders for the same time period. In the event any future supplemental distributions are declared, amounts may vary. |
| |
4 |
Weighted average effective yield is based on an investment’s amortized cost and expected future cash flows whereas weighted average expected yield is based on an investment’s fair market value and expected future cash flows as of the applicable period end as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements, which is subject to change from period to period. |
| |
5 |
For purposes of the weighted average maturity calculation, a 10-year maturity is assumed for the Series D Preferred Stock and Series AA and Series AB Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock. |
| |
6 |
An investment company trades at a premium when the market price at which its shares trade is more than its net asset value per share. Alternatively, an investment company trades at a discount when the market price at which its shares trade is less than its net asset value per share. |
| |
7 |
Total return based on market value is calculated assuming shares of the Company’s common stock were purchased at the market price as of the beginning of the period, and distributions paid to common stockholders during the period were reinvested at prices obtained by the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, and the total number of shares were sold at the closing market price per share on the last day of the period. Total return does not reflect any sales load. |
| |
8 |
To date, a portion of common stock distributions has been estimated to be a return of capital as noted under the Tax Information section on the Company’s website. The actual components of the Company’s distributions for U.S. tax reporting purposes can only be finally determined as of the end of each fiscal year of the Company and are thereafter reported on Form 1099-DIV. A distribution comprised in whole or in part by a return of capital does not necessarily reflect the Company’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income”. Future distributions may consist of a return of capital. Not a guarantee of future distributions or yield. |

Notes
| 1 | The
summary of portfolio investments shown is based on the estimated fair value of the underlying
positions and cash net of pending settlements as of June 30, 2024. Cash excludes restricted
cash. |
| 2 | The
information presented herein is on a look-through basis to the collateralized loan obligation,
or “CLO”, equity held by the Company as of June 30, 2024 (except as otherwise
noted) and reflects the aggregate underlying exposure of the Company based on the portfolios
of those investments. The data is estimated and unaudited and is derived from CLO trustee
reports received by the Company relating to June 2024 and from custody statements and/or
other information received from CLO collateral managers and other third party sources.
Information relating to the market price of underlying collateral is as of month end;
however, with respect to other information shown, depending on when such information
was received, the data may reflect a lag in the information reported. As such, while
this information was obtained from third party data sources, June 2024 trustee reports
and similar reports, other than market price, it does not reflect actual underlying portfolio
characteristics as of June 30, 2024 and this data may not be representative of current
or future holdings. The weighted average remaining reinvestment period information is
based on the fair value of CLO equity investments held by the Company as of June 30,
2024. |
| 3 | We
obtain exposure in underlying senior secured loans indirectly through CLOs and related
investments. |
| 4 | Credit
ratings shown are based on those assigned by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group,
or “S&P,” or, for comparison and informational purposes, if S&P does
not assign a rating to a particular obligor, the weighted average rating shown reflects
the S&P equivalent rating of a rating agency that rated the obligor provided that
such other rating is available with respect to a CLO equity or related investment held
by us. In the event multiple ratings are available, the lowest S&P rating, or if
there is no S&P rating, the lowest equivalent rating, is used. The ratings of specific
borrowings by an obligor may differ from the rating assigned to the obligor and may differ
among rating agencies. For certain obligors, no rating is available in the reports received
by the Company. Such obligors are not shown in the graphs and, accordingly, the sum of
the percentages in the graphs may not equal 100%. Ratings below BBB- are below investment
grade. Further information regarding S&P’s rating methodology and definitions
may be found on its website (www.standardandpoors.com). This data includes underlying
portfolio characteristics of the Company’s CLO equity. |
| 5 | Industry
categories are based on the S&P industry categorization of each obligor as reported
in CLO trustee reports to the extent so reported. Certain CLO trustee reports do not
report the industry category of all of the underlying obligors and where such information
is not reported, it is not included in the summary look-through industry information
shown. As such, the Company’s exposure to a particular industry may be higher than
that shown if industry categories were available for all underlying obligors. In addition,
certain underlying obligors may be re-classified from time to time based on developments
in their respective businesses and/or market practices. Accordingly, certain underlying
borrowers that are currently, or were previously, summarized as a single borrower in
a particular industry may in current or future periods be reflected as multiple borrowers
or in a different industry, as applicable. |

Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s primary investment objective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. The Company seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) that are collateralized by a portfolio 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 other related securities and instruments or other securities and instruments that Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (the “Adviser”) believes are consistent with the Company’s investment objectives, including senior debt tranches of CLOs, loan accumulation facilities (“LAFs”) and securities and instruments of corporate issuers. From time to time, in connection with the acquisition of CLO equity, the Company may receive fee rebates from the CLO issuer. The CLO securities in which the Company primarily seeks to invest are unrated or rated below investment grade and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.
The Company was initially formed on March 24, 2014 and commenced operations on June 6, 2014. On October 7, 2014, the Company priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and on October 8, 2014, the Company’s shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “ECC”.
The Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for federal income tax purposes.
The Adviser is the investment adviser of the Company and manages the investments of the Company subject to the supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Eagle Point Administration LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser, is the administrator of the Company (the “Administrator”).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries- Eagle Point Credit Company Sub (Cayman) Ltd. (“Sub I”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, Eagle Point Credit Company Sub II (Cayman) Ltd (“Sub II”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and Eagle Point Credit Company Sub II (US) LLC (“Sub II US”), a Delaware limited liability company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. As of June 30, 2024, Sub I, Sub II and Sub II US represent 53.0%, 2.4% and 0.8% of the Company’s net assets, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. Items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured and presented in United States dollars.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of the reporting date. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Investments
The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments.
Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and fair values its investment portfolio in accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. Investments are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Fair value is the estimated amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).
Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act adopted by the SEC in December 2020 (“Rule 2a-5”), the Board has elected to designate the Adviser as “valuation designee” to perform fair value determinations, subject to Board oversight and certain other conditions. In the absence of readily available market quotations, as defined by Rule 2a-5, the Adviser determines the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with its written valuation policy approved by the Board. There is no single method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments held by the Company. Due to the uncertainty of valuation, this estimate may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments:
| |
● |
Level I – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company is able to access as of the reporting date. |
| |
● |
Level II – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level I, that are observable either directly or indirectly as of the reporting date. These inputs may include (a) quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset, or (d) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| |
● |
Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and little, if any, active market exists as of the reporting date. Fair value inputs require significant judgment or estimation from the Adviser. |
In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given investment is based on the lowest level of input significant to that fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the investment.
Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Investments with readily available actively quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market, will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Investments for which observable, quoted prices in active markets do not exist are reported at fair value based on Level III inputs. The amount determined to be fair value may incorporate the Adviser’s own assumptions (including assumptions the Adviser believes market participants would use in valuing investments and assumptions relating to appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and lack of marketability), as provided for in the Adviser’s valuation policy.
Joint Venture (“JV”) investments held by the Company are measured using net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient and are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy.

(Unaudited)
An estimate of fair value is made for each investment at least monthly taking into account information available as of the reporting date and is subject to review by the Board on a quarterly basis.
See Note 3 “Investments” for further discussion relating to the Company’s investments.
Forward Currency Contracts
The Company may enter into forward currency contracts to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign currencies in which some of the Company’s investments are denominated. A forward currency contract is an agreement between the Company and a counterparty to buy and sell a currency at an agreed-upon exchange rate and on an agreed-upon future date. Forward currency contracts are recorded at fair value and the cumulative change in fair value is reported as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency contracts on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Company records a realized gain or (loss) on the settlement of a forward currency contract with such realized gains or (losses) reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Cash amounts pledged for forward currency contracts is considered restricted.
Temporary Equity
The Company’s 6.75% Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock”), 7.00% Series AA Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series AA Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock”) and 7.00% Series AB Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series AB Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock” and collectively with the Series AA Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, the “Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock” and collectively with the Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock and Series AA Convertible Perpetual Preferred stock, the “Perpetual Preferred Stock”) are accounted for in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as temporary equity. FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), requires preferred stock that is contingently redeemable upon an occurrence of an event outside the Company’s control to be classified as temporary equity. Deferred issuance costs on the Perpetual Preferred Stock consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance and net of issuance premiums/(discounts), if any, which are capitalized and recorded as temporary equity, and will be amortized only when it is probable the Perpetual Preferred Stock becomes redeemable. As of June 30, 2024, the Company is compliant with all contingent redemption provisions of the perpetual preferred offerings; therefore, no deferred issuance costs have been amortized. The following table reflects balances of preferred stock treated as temporary equity as of June 30, 2024:

Other Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities at Fair Value
The Fair Value Option (“FVO”) under FASB ASC Subtopic 825-10, Fair Value Option (“ASC 825”), allows companies to make an irrevocable election to use fair value as the initial and subsequent accounting measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities. The decision to elect the FVO is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis and must be applied to an entire instrument. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be reported separately from those instruments measured using another accounting method and changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk on financial liabilities for which the FVO is elected are required to be presented separately in other comprehensive income. Additionally, upfront offering costs related to such instruments, inclusive of the costs associated with issuances under the Company’s at-the-market (“ATM”) program, are recognized in earnings as incurred and are not deferred.

The Company elected to account for its 6.6875% Unsecured Notes due 2028 (the “Series 2028 Notes”), 5.375% Unsecured Notes due 2029 (the “Series 2029 Notes”), 6.75% Unsecured Notes due 2031 (the “Series 2031 Notes” and collectively with the Series 2028 Notes and Series 2029 Notes, the “Unsecured Notes”), 6.50% Series C Term Preferred Stock due 2031 (the “Series C Term Preferred Stock”) and its 8.00% Series F Term Preferred Stock due 2029 (the “Series F Term Preferred Stock” and collectively with the Series C Term Preferred Stock, the “Term Preferred Stock”) utilizing the FVO under ASC 825. The primary reason for electing the FVO is to reflect economic events in the same period in which they are incurred and address simplification of reporting and presentation.
Investment Income Recognition
Interest income from investments in CLO debt, asset backed securities (“ABS”), bank debt term loans, collateralized fund obligation (“CFO”) debt, corporate bonds and regulatory capital relief securities is recorded using the accrual basis of accounting to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. Interest income on such investments is generally expected to be received in cash. The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08 Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”) in calculating amortization of premium for applicable investments. Amortization of premium or accretion of discount is recognized using the effective interest method.
In certain circumstances, all or a portion of interest income from a given investment may be paid in the form of additional investment principal, often referred to as payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. PIK interest is included in interest income and interest receivable through the payment date. The PIK interest rate represents the coupon rate at payment date when PIK interest is received. On the payment date, all or a portion of interest receivable is capitalized as additional principal in the investment. To the extent the Company does not believe it will ultimately be able to collect PIK interest, the investment will be placed on non-accrual status, and previously recorded PIK interest income will be reversed.
CLO equity investments, fee rebates, CFO equity, and ABS residual tranche investments recognize investment income for U.S. GAAP purposes on the accrual basis utilizing an effective interest methodology based upon an effective yield to maturity utilizing projected cash flows. ASC Topic 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, requires investment income from such investments to be recognized under the effective interest method, with any difference between cash distributed and the amount calculated pursuant to the effective interest method being recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of the investment. It is the Adviser’s policy to update the effective yield for each CLO equity and fee rebate position held within the Company’s portfolio at the initiation of each investment and each subsequent quarter thereafter. It is the Adviser’s policy to review the effective yield for each CFO equity and ABS residual tranche position at each measurement date and update periodically based on the facts and circumstances known to the Adviser.
LAFs recognize interest income according to the guidance noted in ASC Topic 325-40-35-1, Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets, which states that the holder of a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets shall determine interest income over the life of the beneficial interest in accordance with the effective yield method, provided such amounts are expected to be collected. FASB ASC 325-40-20 further defines “beneficial interests,” among other things, as “rights to receive all or portions of specified cash inflows received by a trust or other entity.” FASB ASC 325-40-15-7 also states that for income recognition purposes, beneficial interests in securitized financial assets (such as those in LAFs) are within the scope of ASC 325-40 because it is customary for certain industries, such as investment companies, to report interest income as a separate item in their income statements even though the investments are accounted for at fair value. The amount of interest income from loan accumulation facilities recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.6 million.
Other Income
Other income includes the Company’s share of income under the terms of fee rebate agreements and commitment fee income.

The Company’s Term Preferred Stock and Unsecured Notes had no interest payable outstanding as of June 30, 2024.
See Note 7 “Preferred Stock” and Note 8 “Unsecured Notes” for further discussion relating to the Term Preferred Stock issuances and Unsecured Notes issuances, respectively.
Original Issue Premiums
Original issue premiums/discounts on liabilities consist of premiums received in connection with the issuance of the Term Preferred Stock as part of the Company’s ATM program, consistent with FASB ASC Topic 835-30-35-2. The original issue premiums/discounts are capitalized at the time of issuance and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Term Preferred Stock. Amortization of original issue premiums and discounts are reflected as a contra expense and interest expense, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Repurchase of Debt Securities
The Company records any gains from the repurchase of the Company’s debt at a discount through open market transactions or redemptions and subsequent retirement as a realized gain or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Securities Transactions
The Company records the purchase and sale of securities on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded based on the specific identification method.
In certain circumstances where the Adviser determines it is unlikely to fully amortize a CLO equity or CLO debt investment’s remaining amortized cost, such remaining cost is written-down to current fair value and recognized as a realized loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts, which, at times, may exceed federal insured limits. The Adviser monitors the performance of the financial institution where the accounts are held in order to manage any risk associated with such accounts.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is subject to a legal or contractual restriction by third parties as well as a restriction as to withdrawal

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
or use, including restrictions that require the funds to be used for a specified purpose and restrictions that limit the purpose for which the funds can be used. The Company considers cash collateral posted with counterparties for foreign currency contracts to be restricted cash. As of June 30, 2024, the Company held $1.9 million in restricted cash associated with forward currency contracts entered into by the Company.
Foreign Currency
The Company does not isolate the portion of its results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market price of such investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, foreign currency and cash equivalents. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses may arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends and interest income recorded on the Company’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received.
Expense Recognition
Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses consist primarily of insurance premiums, filing fees, shelf registration expenses and ATM program expenses. Prepaid shelf registration expenses and ATM program expenses represent fees and expenses incurred in connection with the initial registration of the Company’s current shelf registration and ATM program. Such costs are allocated pro-rata based on the amount issued relative to the total respective offering amount to paid-in-capital or expense depending on the security being issued pursuant to the shelf registration and ATM program. Any subsequent costs incurred to maintain the Company’s ATM program are expensed as incurred.
Any unallocated prepaid expense balance associated with the shelf registration and the ATM program are accelerated into expense at the earlier of the end of the program period or at the effective date of a new shelf registration or ATM program.
Offering Expenses
Offering expenses associated with the issuance and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, inclusive of expenses incurred associated with offerings under the ATM program, are charged to paid-in capital at the time the shares are sold in accordance with guidance noted in FASB ASC Topic 946-20-25-5, Investment Companies – Investment Company Activities – Recognition, during the period incurred.
Federal and Other Taxes
The Company intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code and, as such, to not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, among other requirements, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code.
Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax basis components of distributable earnings may differ from the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities due to temporary book/tax differences arising primarily from partnerships and passive foreign investment company investments.

The Company’s subsidiary, Eagle Point Credit Company Sub II (US) LLC has elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes and may be subject to federal, state and local tax where it operates or is deemed to operate. The subsidiary has no significant tax liability as of June 30, 2024.
Distributions
The composition of distributions paid to common stockholders from net investment income and capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions to common stockholders can be comprised of net investment income, net realized capital gains and return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are intended to be paid monthly. Distributions payable to common stockholders are recorded as a liability on ex-dividend date. Unless a common stockholder opts out of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), distributions are automatically reinvested in full shares of the Company as of the payment date, pursuant to the DRIP. The Company’s common stockholders who opt-out of participation in the DRIP (including those common stockholders whose shares are held through a broker who has opted out of participation in the DRIP) generally will receive all distributions in cash.
In addition to the regular monthly distributions, and subject to available taxable earnings of the Company, the Company may make periodic special and/or supplemental distributions representing the excess of the Company’s net taxable income over the Company’s aggregate monthly distributions paid during the year.
The characterization of distributions paid to common stockholders, as set forth in the Consolidated Financial Highlights, reflect estimates made by the Company for federal income tax purposes. Such estimates are subject to change once the final determination of the source of all distributions has been made and the final tax return has been filed by the Company.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company paid distributions on common stock with record dates during 2024 of $82.3 million or $0.96 per share.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series C Term Preferred Stock of $1.8 million or approximately $0.81 per share of the Series C Term Preferred Stock.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock of $1.2 million or approximately $0.84 per share of the Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series F Term Preferred Stock of $1.8 million or approximately $0.89 per share of the Series F Term Preferred Stock.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series AA Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock of $0.1 million or approximately $0.27 per share of the Series AA Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock.

(1) Weighted average calculations are based on the fair value of investments.
(2) A weighted average is not presented as the input in the discounted cash flow model varies over the life of an investment.
(3) 0% is assumed for defaulted and non-performing assets.
(4) Represents yield based on fair value and projected future cash flow.

(6) Amounts may not foot due to rounding.
In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the above table, the Adviser may use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the fair value measurements of the Company’s investments, as provided for in the Adviser’s valuation policy approved by the Board. Please refer to Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion. The table is not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provides information on the significant Level III inputs as they relate to the Company’s fair value measurements as of June 30, 2024. Unobservable inputs and assumptions are reviewed at each measurement date and updated as necessary to reflect current market conditions.
Increases (decreases) in the annual default rate, reinvestment price, expected yield and discount rate in isolation would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement. Increases (decreases) in the reinvestment spread and recovery rate in isolation would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. Changes in the annual prepayment rate may result in a higher (lower) fair value, depending on the circumstances. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the annual default rate may be accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for the annual prepayment rate and recovery rate.
Certain of the Company’s Level III investments have been valued using unadjusted inputs that have not been internally developed by the Adviser, including third-party transactions, recent transactions and data reported by trustees. As a result, investments with a fair value of $63.3 million have been excluded from the preceding table. Additionally, the preceding table excludes $25.9 million of fair value pertaining to called CLO equity that has not yet been fully paid down and CLO equity with expected yields below 0% and over 100%.

Fair Value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs
The Adviser establishes valuation processes and procedures to ensure the valuation techniques are fair and consistent, and valuation inputs are supportable. The Adviser has a Valuation Committee comprised of various senior personnel of the Adviser, the majority of which are not members of the Company’s portfolio management function. The Valuation Committee is responsible for overseeing the valuation process, evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of the Adviser’s written valuation policies approved by the Board. The Valuation Committee reviews and approves the valuation on a monthly basis.
Valuation of CLO Equity
The Adviser estimates the fair value of CLO equity investments utilizing the output from a third-party financial tool based on assumptions derived from internal and external (market) data. The tool contains detailed information on the characteristics of each CLO, including recent information about assets and liabilities from data sources such as trustee reports, and uses market data inputs to project future cash flows to CLO equity tranches. Key inputs to the tool, including, but not limited to assumptions for future loan default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates,
Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
reinvestment rates and discount rates are determined by considering both observable and third-party market data and prevailing general market assumptions and conventions as well as those of the Adviser. Additionally, a third-party independent valuation firm is used as an input by the Adviser to determine the fair value of the Company’s investments in CLO equity. The valuation firm’s advice is only one factor considered in the valuation of such investments, and the Adviser does not solely rely on such advice in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with the 1940 Act.
The Adviser categorizes CLO equity as Level III investments. Certain pricing inputs may be unobservable. An active market may exist, but not necessarily for CLO equity investments that the Company holds as of the reporting date.
Valuation of CLO Debt
The Company’s investments in CLO debt have been valued using an independent pricing service. The valuation methodology of the independent pricing service includes incorporating data comprised of observable market transactions, executable bids, broker quotes from dealers with two sided markets, as well as transaction activity from comparable securities to those being valued. As the independent pricing service contemplates real time market data and no unobservable inputs or significant judgment has been used by the Adviser in the valuation of the Company’s investment in CLO debt, such positions are considered Level II assets.
Valuation of Loan Accumulation Facilities
The Adviser determines the fair value of LAFs in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, utilizing the income approach as noted in ASC 820-10-55-3F (the “Income Approach”), in which fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about the receipt of future amounts (i.e., exit price). LAFs are typically short- to medium-term in nature and formed to acquire loans on an interim basis that are expected to form part of a specific CLO transaction. Pursuant to LAF governing documents, loans acquired by the LAF are typically required to be transferred to the contemplated CLO transaction at original cost plus accrued interest. In such situations, because the LAF will receive its full cost basis in the underlying loan assets and the accrued interest thereon upon the consummation of the CLO transaction, the Adviser determines the fair value of the LAF as follows: (A) the cost of the Company’s investment (i.e., the principal amount invested), and (B) to the extent the LAF has realized gains (losses) on its underlying loan assets which are reported by the Trustee during the applicable reporting period, its attributable portion of such realized gains (losses).
In certain circumstances, the LAF documents can contemplate transferring the underlying loans at a price other than original cost plus accrued interest or the Adviser may determine that, despite the initial expectation that a CLO transaction would result from a LAF, such a transaction is in fact unlikely to occur and, accordingly, it is unlikely the loans held by the LAF will be transferred at cost. Rather, the loans held by the LAF will most likely be sold at market value. In such situations, the Adviser will continue to fair value the LAF consistent with the Income Approach, but modify the fair value measurement to reflect the change in exit strategy of the LAF to incorporate market expectations of the receipt of future amounts (i.e., exit price). As such, the fair value of the LAF is most appropriately determined by reference to the market value of the LAF’s underlying loans, which is reflective of the price at which the LAF could sell its loan assets in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, in these situations, the Adviser will continue utilizing the Income Approach and determine the fair value of the LAF as follows: (A) the cost of the Company’s investment (i.e., the principal amount invested), (B) the Company’s attributable portion of the unrealized gain (loss) on the LAF’s underlying loan assets, and (C) to the extent the LAF has realized gains (losses) on its underlying loan assets which are reported by the Trustee during the applicable reporting period, its attributable portion of such realized gains (losses). The Adviser’s measure of the Company’s attributable portion of the unrealized gain (loss) on the LAF’s underlying loan assets takes into account the Adviser’s current market expectations of the receipt of future amounts on such assets, which may be impacted by various factors including any applicable change in market conditions or new information.
The Adviser categorizes LAFs as Level III investments. There is no active market and prices are unobservable.

Valuation of Bank Debt Term Loans, ABS, CFO Debt, CFO Equity, Common Stock, Corporate Bonds, Preferred Stock, Regulatory Capital Relief Securities and Warrants
The Adviser generally engages a nationally recognized independent valuation agent to determine fair value for bank debt term loans, ABS, CFO debt, CFO equity, common stock, corporate bonds, preferred stock, regulatory capital relief securities and warrants. The independent valuation agent performs a discounted cash flow analysis, or other valuation technique appropriate for the facts and circumstances, to determine the fair value of such investments, ultimately providing a high and low valuation for each investment. The final valuation recorded is within the high and low band provided by the valuation agent. Given the lack of observable inputs, the Adviser categorizes these investments as Level III investments.
The Adviser may also utilize the mid-point of an indicative broker quotation, if available, to value such investments as of the reporting date. The Adviser generally categorizes investments valued utilizing indicative broker quotations as Level II or Level III depending on whether an active market exists as of the reporting date.
Exchange-Traded Investments
The Adviser values common stock investments that are traded on a national securities exchange at their last reported closing price from the applicable exchange as of the measurement date. Due to their observability and active market, the Adviser categorizes such investments as Level I investments.
Valuation of Joint Venture Investments
JV investments consist of common stock and senior unsecured notes issued by a JV entity. The Company values such investments using NAV as a practical expedient, unless it is probable that the Company will sell a portion of the investment at an amount different than NAV.
Valuation of Unsecured Notes and Term Preferred Stock
The Unsecured Notes and Term Preferred Stock are considered Level I securities and are valued at their official closing price, taken from the NYSE.
Investment Risk Factors and Concentration of Investments
The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the potential risks associated with the Company. The Company’s prospectus provides a detailed discussion of the Company’s risks and considerations. The risks described in the prospectus are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that are currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Risks of Investing in CLOs and Other Structured Debt Securities
CLOs and other structured finance securities are generally backed by a pool of credit-related assets that serve as collateral. Accordingly, CLO and structured finance securities present risks similar to those of other types of credit investments, including default (credit), interest rate and prepayment risks. In addition, CLOs and other structured finance securities are often governed by a complex series of legal documents and contracts, which increases the risk of dispute over the interpretation and enforceability of such documents relative to other types of investments. There is also a risk that the trustee of a CLO does not properly carry out its duties to the CLO, potentially resulting in loss to the CLO. CLOs are also inherently leveraged vehicles and are subject to leverage risk.
Subordinated Securities Risk
CLO equity and junior debt securities that the Company may acquire are subordinated to more senior tranches of CLO debt. CLO equity and junior debt securities are subject to increased risks of default relative to the holders of superior priority interests in the same CLO. In addition, at the time of issuance, CLO equity securities are under-collateralized in that the face amount of the CLO debt and CLO equity of a CLO at inception exceed its total assets. The Company will typically be in a subordinated or first loss position with respect to realized losses on the underlying assets held by the CLOs in which the Company is invested.
Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
High Yield Investment Risk
The CLO equity and junior debt securities that the Company acquires are typically rated below investment grade, or in the case of CLO equity securities unrated, and are therefore considered “higher yield” or “junk” securities and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. The senior secured loans and other credit-related assets underlying CLOs are also higher yield investments. Investing in CLO equity and junior debt securities and other high yield investments typically involves greater credit and liquidity risk than investment grade obligations, which may adversely impact the Company’s performance.
Leverage Risk
The use of leverage, whether directly or indirectly through investments such as CLO equity or junior debt securities that inherently involve leverage, may magnify the Company’s risk of loss. CLO equity or junior debt securities are very highly leveraged (with CLO equity securities typically being leveraged ten times), and therefore the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to a higher degree of risk of loss since the use of leverage magnifies losses.
Credit Risk
If (1) a CLO in which the Company invests, (2) an underlying asset of any such CLO or (3) any other type of credit investment in the Company’s portfolio declines in price or fails to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer or debtor, as the case may be, experiences a decline in its financial status, the Company’s income, NAV and/or market price would be adversely impacted.
Key Personnel Risk
The Adviser manages our investments. Consequently, the Company’s success depends, in large part, upon the services of the Adviser and the skill and expertise of the Adviser’s professional personnel. There can be no assurance that the professional personnel of the Adviser will continue to serve in their current positions or continue to be employed by the Adviser. We can offer no assurance that their services will be available for any length of time or that the Adviser will continue indefinitely as the Company’s investment adviser.
Conflicts of Interest Risk
The Company’s executive officers and directors, and the Adviser and certain of its affiliates and their officers and employees, including the members of the Investment Committee, have several conflicts of interest as a result of the other activities in which they engage.
Prepayment Risk
The assets underlying the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment by the underlying corporate borrowers. As such, the CLO securities and related investments in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment risk. If the Company or a CLO collateral manager are unable to reinvest prepaid amounts in a new investment with an expected rate of return at least equal to that of the investment repaid, the Company’s investment performance will be adversely impacted.
Liquidity Risk
Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments in which the Company invests. As such, the Company may not be able to sell such investments quickly, or at all. If the Company is able to sell such investments, the prices the Company receives may not reflect the Adviser’s assessment of their fair value or the amount paid for such investments by the Company.
Incentive Fee Risk
The Company’s incentive fee structure and the formula for calculating the fee payable to the Adviser may incentivize the Adviser to pursue speculative investments and use leverage in a manner that adversely impacts the Company’s performance.
Fair Valuation of the Company’s Portfolio Investments
Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments and certain other credit assets in which the Company
Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
may invest. The Adviser values these securities at least quarterly, or more frequently as may be required from time to time, at fair value. The Adviser’s determinations of the fair value of the Company’s investments have a material impact on the Company’s net earnings through the recording of unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and may cause the Company’s NAV on a given date to understate or overstate, possibly materially, the value that the Company ultimately realizes on one or more of the Company’s investments.
Limited Investment Opportunities Risk
The market for CLO securities is more limited than the market for other credit related investments. The Company can offer no assurances that sufficient investment opportunities for the Company’s capital will be available. In recent years there has been a marked increase in the number of, and flow of capital into, investment vehicles established to pursue investments in CLO securities whereas the size of the market is relatively limited. While the Company cannot determine the precise effect of such competition, such increase may result in greater competition for investment opportunities, which may result in an increase in the price of such investments relative to the risk taken on by holders of such investments. Such competition may also result under certain circumstances in increased price volatility or decreased liquidity with respect to certain positions.
Non-Diversification Risk
The Company is a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act and expect to hold a narrower range of investments than a diversified fund under the 1940 Act.
Market Risk
Political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Company’s investments. A disruption or downturn in the capital markets and the credit markets could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital, reduce the availability of suitable investment opportunities for the Company, or adversely and materially affect the value of the Company’s investments, any of which would negatively affect the Company’s business. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain, and could affect companies worldwide.
Loan Accumulation Facilities Risk
The Company may invest in LAFs, which are short to medium term facilities often provided by the bank that will serve as placement agent or arranger on a CLO transaction and which acquire loans on an interim basis which are expected to form part of the portfolio of a future CLO. Investments in LAFs have risks similar to those applicable to investments in CLOs. Leverage is typically utilized in such a facility and as such the potential risk of loss will be increased for such facilities employing leverage. In the event a planned CLO is not consummated, or the loans are not eligible for purchase by the CLO, the Company may be responsible for either holding or disposing of the loans. This could expose the Company to credit and/or mark-to-market losses, and other risks.
Synthetic Investments Risk
The Company may invest in synthetic investments, such as significant risk transfer securities and credit risk transfer securities issued by banks or other financial institutions, or acquire interests in lease agreements that have the general characteristics of loans and are treated as loans for withholding tax purposes. In addition to the credit risks associated with the applicable reference assets, the Company will usually have a contractual relationship only with the counterparty of such synthetic investment, and not with the reference obligor of the reference asset. Accordingly, the Company generally will have no right to directly enforce compliance by the reference obligor with the terms of the reference asset nor will it have any rights of setoff against the reference obligor or rights with respect to the reference asset. The Company will not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the reference asset and will not have the benefit of the remedies that would normally be available to a holder of such reference asset. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the counterparty, the Company may be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the reference asset.
Currency Risk
Although the Company primarily makes investments denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company may make
Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
investments denominated in other currencies. The Company’s investments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be subject to the risk that the value of such currency will decrease in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Company may or may not hedge currency risk.
Hedging Risk
Hedging transactions seeking to reduce risks may result in poorer overall performance than if the Company had not engaged in such hedging transactions. Additionally, such transactions may not fully hedge the Company’s risks.
Reinvestment Risk
CLOs will typically generate cash from asset repayments and sales that may be reinvested in substitute assets, subject to compliance with applicable investment tests. If the CLO collateral manager causes the CLO to purchase substitute assets at a lower yield than those initially acquired or sale proceeds are maintained temporarily in cash, it would reduce the excess interest-related cash flow, thereby having a negative effect on the fair value of the Company’s assets and the market value of the Company’s securities. In addition, the reinvestment period for a CLO may terminate early, which would cause the holders of the CLO’s securities to receive principal payments earlier than anticipated. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reinvest such amounts in an alternative investment that provides a comparable return relative to the credit risk assumed.
Interest Rate Risk
The price of certain of the Company’s investments may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, including recent increases in interest rates. Although senior secured loans are generally floating rate instruments, the Company’s investments in senior secured loans through investments in junior equity and debt tranches of CLOs are sensitive to interest rate levels and volatility. For example, because the senior secured loans constituting the underlying collateral of CLOs typically pay a floating rate of interest, a reduction in interest rates would generally result in a reduction in the residual payments made to the Company as a CLO equity holder (as well as the cash flow the Company receives on the Company’s CLO debt investments and other floating rate investments). Further, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, loan defaults may increase and result in credit losses that may adversely affect the Company’s cash flow, fair value of the Company’s assets and operating results. Because CLOs generally issue debt on a floating rate basis, an increase in the relevant benchmark index will increase the financing costs of CLOs.
Refinancing Risk
If the Company incurs debt financing and subsequently refinances such debt, the replacement debt may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions. If the Company fails to extend, refinance or replace such debt financings prior to their maturity on commercially reasonable terms, the Company’s liquidity will be lower than it would have been with the benefit of such financings, which would limit the Company’s ability to grow, and holders of the Company’s common stock would not benefit from the potential for increased returns on equity that incurring leverage creates.
Tax Risk
If the Company fails to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for any reason, or otherwise becomes subject to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes (and any related penalties) could substantially reduce the Company’s net assets, the amount of income available for distributions to the Company’s stockholders, and the amount of income available for payment of the Company’s other liabilities.
Derivatives Risk
Derivative instruments in which the Company may invest may be volatile and involve various risks different from, and in certain cases greater than, the risks presented by other instruments. The primary risks related to derivative transactions include counterparty, correlation, liquidity, leverage, volatility, over-the-counter trading, operational and legal risks. In addition, a small investment in derivatives could have a large potential impact on the Company’s performance, effecting a form of investment leverage on the Company’s portfolio. In certain types of derivative transactions, the Company could lose the entire amount of the Company’s investment; in other types of derivative
Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
transactions the potential loss is theoretically unlimited.
Counterparty Risk
The Company may be exposed to counterparty risk, which could make it difficult for the Company or the issuers in which the Company invests to collect on obligations, thereby resulting in potentially significant losses.
Price Risk
Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Global Risks
Due to highly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value of the Company’s securities and its underlying investments may go up or down in response to governmental actions and/or general economic conditions throughout the world. Events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact the Company and its investments.
Banking Risk
The possibility of future bank failures poses risks of reduced financial market liquidity at clearing, cash management and other custodial financial institutions. The failure of banks which hold cash on behalf of the Company, the Company’s underlying obligors, the collateral managers of the CLOs in which the Company invests (or managers of other securitized or pooled vehicles in which the Company invests), or the Company’s service providers could adversely affect the Company’s ability to pursue its investment strategies and objectives. For example, if an underlying obligor has a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, such company may experience delays or other disruptions in meeting its obligations and consummating business transactions. Additionally, if a collateral manager has a commercial relationship with a distressed bank, the manager may experience issues conducting its operations or consummating transactions on behalf of the CLOs it manages, which could negatively affect the performance of such CLOs (and, therefore, the performance of the Company).
The Company enters into forward currency contracts to manage the Company’s exposure to the foreign currencies in which some of the Company’s investments are denominated. Risks associated with forward currency contracts are the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their respective contracts and movements in fair value and exchange rates.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Investment Adviser
On June 6, 2014, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, which was amended and restated on May 16, 2017 (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a management fee and an incentive fee for its services.
The management fee is calculated and payable quarterly, in arrears, at an annual rate equal to 1.75% of the Company’s “total equity base.” “Total equity base” means the net asset value attributable to the common stock and the paid-in, or stated, capital of the Preferred Stock. The management fee is calculated based on the “total equity base” at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter end, and, with respect to any common stock or preferred stock issued or repurchased during such quarter, is adjusted to reflect the number of days during such quarter that such common stock and/or preferred stock, if any, was outstanding. The management fee for any partial quarter is pro-rated (based on the number of days actually elapsed at the end of such partial quarter relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter). The Company was charged management fees of $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and has a payable balance of $4.1 million as of June 30, 2024.
The incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly, in arrears, based on the pre-incentive fee net investment income (the “PNII”) of the Company for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, PNII 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 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 Administration Agreement (as defined below) and any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock or debt, but excluding the incentive fee). PNII includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. PNII does not include any realized or unrealized capital gains or realized or unrealized capital losses. The portion of incentive fee that is attributable to deferred interest (such as payment-in-kind interest or original issue discount) will be paid to the Adviser, without interest, only if and to the extent the Company actually receives such deferred interest in cash, and any accrual thereof will be reversed if and to the extent such interest
Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
is reversed in connection with any write-off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual.
PNII, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a hurdle rate of 2.00% per quarter. The Company pays the Adviser an incentive fee with respect to the Company’s PNII in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s PNII does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.00%; (2) 100% of the Company’s PNII with respect to that portion of such PNII, if any, exceeding the hurdle rate but equal to or less than 2.50% in any calendar quarter; and (3) 20% of the amount of the Company’s PNII, if any, exceeding 2.50% in any calendar quarter. The Company incurred incentive fees of $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and has a payable balance of $7.1 million as of June 30, 2024.
Administrator
Effective June 6, 2014, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator, an affiliate of the Adviser. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or arranges for the performance of, the Company’s required administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports which are disseminated to the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the Administrator provides the Company with accounting services, assists the Company in determining and publishing its net asset value, oversees the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns, monitors the Company’s compliance with tax laws and regulations, and prepares and assists the Company with any audits by an independent public accounting firm of the consolidated financial statements. The Administrator is also responsible for printing and disseminating reports to the Company’s stockholders and maintaining the Company’s website, providing support to investor relations, generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others, and providing such other administrative services as the Company may from time to time designate.
Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon the Company’s allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of the Company’s chief compliance officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer and the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of any related support staff. The Company’s allocable portion of such compensation is based on an allocation of the time spent on the Company relative to other matters. To the extent the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company pays the fees on a direct basis, without profit to the Administrator. Certain accounting and other administrative services have been delegated by the Administrator to SS&C Technologies, Inc. (“SS&C”). The Administration Agreement may be terminated by the Company without penalty upon not less than sixty days’ written notice to the Administrator and by the Administrator upon not less than ninety days’ written notice to the Company. The Administration Agreement is approved by the Board, including by a majority of the Company’s independent directors, on an annual basis.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company was charged a total of $0.7 million in administration fees consisting of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, relating to services provided by the Administrator and SS&C, respectively, which are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and, of which $0.3 million was payable as of June 30, 2024.
Affiliated Ownership
As of June 30, 2024, the Adviser and senior investment team held an aggregate of 1.6% of the Company’s common stock and 0.1% of the Series C Term Preferred Stock. This represented 1.5% of the total outstanding voting stock of the Company as of June 30, 2024. Additionally, the senior investment team held an aggregate of 0.4% of the Series 2028 Notes, as of June 30, 2024.

in fair value attributable to changes in a base market rate, such as a United States treasury bond index with a similar maturity to the instrument being valued.

Under a conversion, the conversion price will represent the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock over each of the five consecutive trading days ending on the date of the conversion (the “Conversion Price”).
Series AA Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock shareholders may elect to convert their shares of Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock at any time by delivering to the Company a notice of conversion subject to a conversion fee of between 0% and 8%.
Series AB Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock shareholders may elect to convert their shares of Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock at any time by delivering to the Company a notice of conversion subject to a clawback provision of three full months of earned interest in the first year of ownership.

pursuant to the ATM offering.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold 569,951 shares of its Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock and 157,161 shares of its Series F Term Preferred Stock, pursuant to the ATM offerings, for total proceeds to the Company of $14.9 million. In connection with such sales, the Company paid a total of $0.3 million in sales agent commissions.
See Note 9 “Asset Coverage” for further discussion on the Company’s calculation of asset coverage with respect to its Preferred Stock.
As of June 30, 2024, there were $32.4 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2028 Notes, $93.3 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2029 Notes, and $44.9 million in aggregate principal amount of Series 2031 Notes issued and outstanding.
The Unsecured Notes were issued in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof.
The Series 2028 Notes, Series 2029 Notes and Series 2031 Notes will mature on April 30, 2028, January 31, 2029 and March 31, 2031, respectively. 100% of the aggregate principal amount for the Unsecured Notes are payable at maturity. The Company may redeem the Series 2028 Notes and the Series 2031 Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company’s option. The Company may redeem the Series 2029 Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company’s option, on or after January 31, 2025.
The Company has accounted for its Unsecured Notes utilizing the FVO under ASC 825.
The estimated change in fair value of the Series 2028 Notes, Series 2029 Notes and Series 2031 Notes attributable to market risk for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is $0.5 million, $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which is recorded as unrealized (appreciation) depreciation on liabilities at fair value under the FVO on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The estimated change in fair value of the Series 2028 Notes, Series 2029 Notes and Series 2031 Notes attributable to instrument-specific credit risk for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is ($1.1) million, ($2.2) million and ($1.4) million, respectively, which is recorded as unrealized (appreciation) depreciation on liabilities at fair value under the FVO on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company defines the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk as the excess of the total change in fair value over the change in fair value attributable to changes in a base market rate, such as a United States treasury bond index with a similar maturity to the instrument being valued.
The Company has engaged a broker-dealer to repurchase opportunistically, on the Company’s behalf, a portion of the Company’s Unsecured Notes through open market transactions. The price and other terms of any such repurchases will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity and other factors. Depending on market conditions, the amount of Unsecured Note repurchases may be material and may continue through year-end 2024; however, the Company may reduce or extend this timeframe in its discretion and without notice. Any Unsecured Note repurchases will comply with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Upon repurchase, the Company intends to retire the Unsecured Notes reducing the Company’s outstanding leverage. The Company did not repurchase Unsecured Notes for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

See Note 9 “Asset Coverage” for further discussion on the Company’s calculation of asset coverage with respect to its Unsecured Notes.
Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company is permitted to issue senior securities, including debt securities and preferred stock, and borrow from banks or other financial institutions, provided that the Company satisfies certain asset coverage requirements.
With respect to senior securities that are stocks, such as the Preferred Stock, the Company is required to have asset coverage of at least 200%, as measured at the time of issuance of any such senior securities that are stocks and 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 plus the aggregate liquidation preference of any outstanding shares of senior securities that are stocks.
With respect to senior securities representing indebtedness, such as the Unsecured Notes or any bank borrowings (other than temporary borrowings as defined under the 1940 Act), the Company is required to have asset coverage of at least 300%, as measured at the time of borrowing and 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.
If the Company’s asset coverage declines below 300% (or 200%, as applicable), the Company would be prohibited under the 1940 Act from incurring additional debt or issuing additional preferred stock and from declaring certain distributions to its stockholders. In addition, the terms of the Preferred Stock and the Unsecured Notes require the Company to redeem shares of the Preferred Stock and/or a certain principal amount of the Unsecured Notes, if such failure to maintain the applicable asset coverage is not cured by a certain date.
The following table summarizes the Company’s asset coverage with respect to its Preferred Stock and Unsecured Notes, as of June 30, 2024, and as of December 31, 2023:
| | Asset Coverage of Preferred Stock and Debt Securities |
| | | | As of June 30, 2024 | | As of December 31, 2023 |

| (2) |
Per share amounts are based on weighted average of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. |
| (3) |
Net realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, foreign currency and cash equivalents includes a balancing figure to reconcile to the change in net asset value (“NAV”) per share at the end of each period. The amount per share may not agree with the change in the aggregate net realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, foreign currency and cash equivalents for the period because of the timing of issuance of the Company’s common stock in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio. |
| (4) |
The information provided is based on estimates available at each respective period. The Company’s final taxable income and the actual amount required to be distributed will be finally determined when the Company files its final tax returns and may vary from these estimates. The year ended December 31, 2022 includes a special distribution of $0.50 per share of common stock paid on January 24, 2023 to stockholders of record on December 23, 2022. The year ended December 31, 2021 includes a special distribution of $0.50 per share of common stock paid on January 24, 2022 to stockholders of record on December 23, 2021. |
| (5) |
Represents the difference between the per share amount distributed to common stockholders of record and the per share amount distributed based on the weighted average of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. |
| (6) |
Effect of other comprehensive income is related to income/(loss) deemed attributable to instrument specific credit risk derived from changes in fair value associated with liabilities valued under the fair value option (ASC 825.) |
| (7) |
Represents the effect per share of the Company’s ATM offerings, follow-on offerings and initial public offering. Effect of shares issued reflect the excess of offering price over management’s estimated NAV per share at the time of each respective offering. |
| (8) |
Total return based on market value is calculated assuming shares of the Company’s common stock were purchased at the market price as of the beginning of the period, and distributions paid to common stockholders during the period were reinvested at prices obtained by the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, and the total number of shares were sold at the closing market price per share on the last day of the period. Total return does not reflect any sales load. Total return for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the period from October 6, 2014 to December 31, 2014 are not annualized. |
| (9) |
Ratios for the period from October 6, 2014 to December 31, 2014 are annualized. Ratios for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 reflect the portion of incentive fee voluntarily waived by the Adviser of 0.06%, 0.03%, 0.06%, 0.03% and 0.09% of average net assets, respectively. Ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016 include excise tax of 0.04%, 0.41%, 0.49% and 0.26% of average net assets, respectively. Ratios for the year ended December 31, 2023 include excise tax refund of -0.12%. |

The asset coverage per unit figure is the ratio of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate dollar amount of outstanding applicable senior securities, as calculated separately for each of the Preferred Stock and the Unsecured Notes in accordance with section 18(h) of the 1940 Act. With respect to the Preferred Stock, the asset coverage per unit figure is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per share of outstanding preferred stock (based on a per share liquidation preference of $25.) With respect to the Unsecured Notes, the asset coverage per unit figure is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per $1,000 principal amount of such notes. |
| (2) |
The involuntary liquidating preference per unit is the amount to which a share of Preferred Stock would be entitled in preference to any security junior to it upon our involuntary liquidation. |
| (3) |
The average market value per unit is calculated by taking the average of the closing price (or $25 principal value for unlisted securities) for each of (a) a share of the Preferred Stock (NYSE: ECCA, ECCB, ECCC, ECCF, ECC PRD; Unlisted: ECC AA, ECC AB) and(b) for each $25 principal amount of the Unsecured Notes (NYSE: ECCV, ECCW, ECCX, ECCY, ECCZ) for each day during the years for which each applicable security was outstanding. A $25 market value was assumed for unlisted securities. |
Dividend Reinvestment Plans
Dividend Reinvestment Plan for Common Stock Holders
The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) applicable to our common stock. Under the DRIP, each registered holder of at least one full share of our common stock will be automatically enrolled in the DRIP and distributions on shares of the Company’s common stock are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (formerly, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC) (the “DRIP Agent”) unless a stockholder “opts-out” of the DRIP. Holders of the Company’s common stock who receive distributions in the form of additional shares of the Company’s common stock are nonetheless required to pay applicable federal, state or local taxes on the reinvested distribution but will not receive a corresponding cash distribution with which to pay any applicable tax. Distributions that are reinvested through the issuance of new shares increase the Company’s stockholders’ equity on which a management fee is payable to the Adviser. If we declare a distribution payable in cash, holders of shares of the Company’s common stock who opt-out of participation in the DRIP (including those holders whose shares are held through a broker or other nominee who has opted out of participation in the DRIP) generally will receive such distributions in cash.
The DRIP Agent, on the Company’s behalf, will primarily use newly-issued, authorized shares of common stock to implement reinvestment of distributions under the DRIP (regardless of whether the outstanding shares are trading at a premium or at a discount to the Company’s net asset value (the “NAV”)). However, the Company reserves the right to instruct the DRIP Agent to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market (on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere) in connection with the reinvestment of distributions under the DRIP to the extent that the Company’s shares of common stock are trading at a discount to NAV per share.
The number of shares of common stock to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined based on the closing market price per share of common stock on the payment date (the “Market Price”). If 95% of the Market Price is greater than the Company’s last determined NAV per share, the number of shares to be credited to each participant’s account pursuant to DRIP will be determined by dividing the aggregate dollar amount of the distribution by 95% of the Market Price. If 95% of the Market Price is less than the Company’s last determined NAV per share, the number of shares to be credited to each participant’s account pursuant to DRIP will be determined by dividing the aggregate dollar amount of the distribution by the lesser of (i) the last determined NAV per share and (ii) the Market Price.
In the event that the DRIP Agent is instructed to buy shares of our common stock on the open market, any shares so purchased will be allocated to each participant based upon the average purchase price (excluding any brokerage charges or other fees) of all shares purchased with respect to the distribution. In any case, the DRIP Agent (or the DRIP Agent’s broker) will have until the last business day before the next date on which the shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for the applicable distribution, whichever is sooner, to invest the distribution amount in shares acquired on the open market. To the extent that the DRIP Agent is unable to reinvest the full amount of the distribution through open market purchases, the balance shall be credited to participants’ accounts in the form of newly-issued shares of common stock, in accordance with the procedures described above. Open market purchases may be made on any securities exchange where shares of our common stock are traded, in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions, and may be on such terms as to price, delivery and otherwise as the DRIP Agent shall determine.
There are no brokerage charges with respect to shares of common stock issued directly by the Company. However, whenever shares are purchased or sold on the NYSE or otherwise on the open market, each participant will pay a pro rata portion of brokerage trading fees, currently $0.07 per share purchased or sold. Brokerage trading fees will be deducted from amounts to be invested.
Holders of the Company’s common stock can also sell shares held in the DRIP account at any time by contacting the DRIP Agent in writing Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560. The DRIP
Agent will mail a check to such holder (less applicable brokerage trading fees) on the settlement date, which is three business days after the shares have been sold. If a stockholder chooses to sell its shares through a broker, the holder will need to request that the DRIP Agent electronically transfer their shares to the broker through the Direct Registration System.
Stockholders participating in the DRIP may withdraw from the DRIP at any time by contacting the DRIP Agent in writing at Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560. Such termination will be effective immediately if the notice is received by the DRIP Agent prior to any dividend or distribution record date; otherwise, such termination will be effective on the first trading day after the payment date for such dividend or distribution and thus apply to any subsequent dividend or distribution. If a holder of the Company’s common stock withdraws, full shares will be credited to their account, and the stockholder will be sent a check for the cash adjustment of any fractional share at the market value per share of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on the day the termination is effective, less any applicable fees. Alternatively, if the stockholder wishes, the DRIP Agent will sell their full and fractional shares and send them the proceeds, less a transaction fee of $15.00 and less brokerage trading fees of $0.07 per share. If a stockholder does not maintain at least one whole share of common stock in the DRIP account, the DRIP Agent may terminate such stockholder’s participation in the DRIP after written notice. Upon termination, stockholders will be sent a check for the cash value of any fractional share in the DRIP account, less any applicable broker commissions and taxes.
Stockholders who are not participants in the DRIP, but hold at least one full share of our common stock, may join the DRIP by notifying the DRIP Agent in writing at Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560. If received in proper form by the DRIP Agent before the record date of a dividend, the election will be effective with respect to all dividends paid after such record date. If a stockholder wishes to participate in the DRIP and their shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, the stockholder should contact their nominee to see if it will participate in the DRIP. If a stockholder wishes to participate in the DRIP, but the brokerage firm, bank or other nominee is unable to participate on their behalf, the stockholder will need to request that their shares be re-registered in their own name, or the stockholder will not be able to participate. The DRIP Agent will administer the DRIP on the basis of the number of shares certified from time to time by the stockholder as representing the total amount registered in their name and held for their account by their nominee.
Experience under the DRIP may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Company and the DRIP Agent reserve the right to amend or terminate the DRIP upon written notice to each participant at least 30 days before the record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Company.
All correspondence or additional information about the DRIP should be directed to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan for Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock Holders
The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) applicable to our Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock. Under this DRIP, each holder of at least one full share of our Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock will be automatically enrolled in our DRIP and distributions on shares of our Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the applicable series of Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock at a 5% discount to the liquidation preference by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (as the DRIP agent) unless the holder opts out of our DRIP. Holders of our Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock who receive distributions in the form of additional shares of our Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock are nonetheless subject to the applicable federal, state or local taxes on the reinvested distribution but will not receive a corresponding cash distribution with which to pay any applicable tax. Shares of Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock received through our DRIP will have the same original issue date for purposes of the Holder Optional Conversion Fee (as described in the prospectus supplement for the offering) and for other terms of the Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock based on issuance date as the Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock for which the dividend was declared. For more information on our DRIP, please contact Computershare Trust Company, N.A at Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43007 Providence, RI 02940-3006.

Investment Advisory Agreement
At a meeting held on May 15, 2024, the Board, including all of the independent Directors (voting separately), unanimously voted to approve the continuation and renewal of the existing investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) by and between the Company and the Adviser for an additional one-year period.
In reaching a decision to approve the continuation and renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel, requested and received a significant amount of information and considered all the factors the Board believed relevant, including, among other things, the following: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services performed by the Adviser, including the investment performance of the Company, other comparable registered investment companies and certain other accounts advised by the Adviser; (2) information regarding the fees and other expenses paid by the Company, including the cost of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliate; (3) the profitability to the Adviser of its relationship with the Company, including certain ancillary and other benefits received by the Adviser; (4) comparative information on fees and expenses borne by other comparable registered investment companies, and certain other accounts advised by the Adviser; (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Company grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Company’s investors; and (6) various other factors.
The Board’s decision to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board did not assign relative weights to the factors considered by it as the Board conducted an overall analysis of these factors. Individual members of the Board may have given different weights to different factors.
The Board requested, considered and evaluated information regarding the following factors, among others:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services and Performance
The Board reviewed and considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement and by its affiliate under a separate administration agreement and the services provided to the Company by third-party service providers. Among other things, the Board reviewed the most recent Form ADV for the Adviser and information about the qualifications, background and experience of the staff and personnel of the Adviser primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Company, including their experience in managing portfolios of CLO securities and the CLO industry knowledge of the Adviser’s senior investment team.
The Board also evaluated the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain high-caliber professional personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding the Adviser’s compensation program, which is designed to align personnel interests with the long-term success of the Adviser’s clients, including the Company.
In addition, the Board reviewed information about the Adviser’s investment process, financial stability, risk management program, and legal and compliance program. The received the Company’s use of leverage, including the forms and amounts of leverage used and the effect of such leverage on the Company’s portfolio, profitability and performance, as well as comparative information regarding the levels of leverage used by certain other publicly listed, registered closed-end investment companies managed by third-party investment advisers (except for one registered closed-end investment company managed by an affiliate of the Adviser) that have an investment strategy comparable to that of the Company’s or otherwise have meaningful CLO securities exposure (“Peer Companies”).
The Board then reviewed and considered the Company’s performance results in terms of both (1) total return on a net asset value basis (i.e., book basis) and (2) total return to common stockholders (assuming reinvestment of dividends), each during 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods ending March 31, 2024 and for the period from October 8, 2014 through March 31, 2024, the since inception period, and the Board considered such performance in light of the Company’s investment objective, strategies and risks.
The Board also considered and discussed the performance results for various periods of time of (1) funds and accounts managed by the Adviser that are comparable to the Company in terms of investment objectives investment, policies, eligible portfolio investments and certain other characteristics (“Comparable Accounts”), (2) the Peer Companies, (3) a composite of estimates of CLO equity performance published by several Wall Street research firms and (4) an index that is intended to measure the performance of leading business development companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ and that satisfy specified market capitalization and other requirements. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation of the differences between the Company’s and the Peer Companies’ strategies and portfolios. The Board also discussed and considered the Company’s recent performance in light of recent and current market conditions. The Board also noted certain distinguishing features between the Company, the Peer Companies and the Comparable Accounts.
Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was generally satisfied with, and that the Company should continue to benefit from, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Company by the Adviser.
Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Total Expense Ratio
The Board then reviewed and considered the advisory fee rates, including the base management fee and incentive fee, payable by the Company to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the total expense ratio of the Company. Additionally, the Board considered a comparison of the advisory fee rates and total expense ratio of the Company with those of the Peer Companies and the advisory fee rate of the Comparable Accounts.
Among other things, the Board considered the differences between the investment strategy of the Company and the strategy of each of the Comparable Accounts. The Board noted that the Company’s contractual management fee rate was lower than or the same as that of each of the Peer Companies that invest at least 75% of their assets in CLO securities (the “Close Peer Companies”) except for that of one Close Peer Company. The Board considered that the Company’s gross and net expense ratios were lower than the average of the Close Peer Companies’ gross and net expense ratios. The Board further noted that the Company’s incentive fee rate was the same as or higher than that of the Close Peer Companies, that one of the Close Peer Companies did not charge an incentive fee and that the Company’s incentive fee hurdle was higher than or the same as those of the Close Peer Companies.
The Board also considered the Company’s fees and expenses as compared to those of the non-Close Peer Companies. The Board noted that the fee structures and the investment strategies and portfolios of the non-Close Peer Companies are materially different than those of the Company, and, therefore, the comparisons of the advisory fee rates and total expense ratios to such Peer Companies were not particularly meaningful.
The Board also compared the advisory fee rates paid by each of the Company and the Comparable Accounts to the Adviser. The Board noted the differences in the fee structures and that such differences could cause the Company to pay a higher or
lower effective advisory fee rate than the Comparable Accounts in certain circumstances. The Board considered that the different rate structures are driven by investor expectations for the different fund structures, the additional complexity of the Adviser’s investment strategy in the regulatory and tax environment applicable to the Company’s portfolio and the costs associated with operating as an investment adviser for a publicly-traded registered investment company.
In considering the advisory fee rates, the Board also discussed the Company’s use of leverage, including the Company’s previous issuance of preferred stock and debt securities. The Board noted that while the Adviser believes that the prudent use of leverage is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, the use of leverage has the potential to increase the Adviser’s incentive fee and, with respect to preferred stock, the Adviser’s overall management fee, and therefore may create a conflict of interest with the Company’s stockholders.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each of the Company’s advisory fee rates and total expense ratio is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Company and other factors considered.
Profitability
The Board also considered a profitability analysis of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Company and the changes in such profitability over time. The Board concluded that, in light of the profitability information presented and other factors considered, the Adviser’s profitability was not excessive.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered information regarding whether the Investment Advisory Agreement adequately addresses economies of scale with respect to providing advisory services to the Company. The Board considered that, given (1) the complexity and time required to manage and monitor the types of CLO and other securities in which the Company invests, (2) the resource-intensive nature of acquiring and disposing of certain of the Company’s investments in the primary markets (particularly with respect to CLO equity and other negotiated investments), and (3) the limited size of individual transactions, growth in the Company’s assets would be expected to require and had required additional investment resources, including personnel, and therefore generally would not meaningfully reduce the per unit cost of managing the portfolio. Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that the opportunity of the Company to realize significant economies of scale is limited and that the lack of breakpoints in the fee structure was appropriate given the Company’s investment objectives and strategies.
Other Benefits
The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Company. The Board considered the Adviser’s representation that these ancillary benefits could not be appropriately valued.
Based on the information reviewed and the discussions detailed above, the Board reached a determination, through the exercise of its business judgment, that the compensation payable to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Company by the Adviser and other factors considered.
Portfolio Information
The Company files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT. The Company’s Form N-PORT is available without charge, upon request by calling (844) 810-6501, or from the EDGAR Database on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

The Company has delegated its proxy voting responsibility to the Adviser.

With respect to the Preferred Stock, the asset coverage per unit figure is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per share of outstanding preferred stock (based on a per share liquidation preference of $25.) With respect to the Unsecured Notes, the asset coverage per unit figure is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per $1,000 principal amount of such notes. |
| (2) |
The involuntary liquidating preference per unit is the amount to which a share of Preferred Stock would be entitled in preference to any security junior to it upon our involuntary liquidation. |
| (3) |
The average market value per unit is calculated by taking the average of the closing price (or $25 principal value for unlisted securities) for each of (a) a share of the Preferred Stock (NYSE: ECCA, ECCB, ECCC, ECCF, ECC PRD; Unlisted: ECC AA, ECC AB) and(b) for each $25 principal amount of the Unsecured Notes (NYSE: ECCV, ECCW, ECCX, ECCY, ECCZ) for each day during the years for which each applicable security was outstanding. A $25 market value was assumed for unlisted securities. |

| Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block] |
|
|
Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s primary investment objective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. The Company seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) that are collateralized by a portfolio 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 other related securities and instruments or other securities and instruments that Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (the “Adviser”) believes are consistent with the Company’s investment objectives, including senior debt tranches of CLOs, loan accumulation facilities (“LAFs”) and securities and instruments of corporate issuers. From time to time, in connection with the acquisition of CLO equity, the Company may receive fee rebates from the CLO issuer. The CLO securities in which the Company primarily seeks to invest are unrated or rated below investment grade and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.

| Risk Factors [Table Text Block] |
|
|
Investment Risk Factors and Concentration of Investments
The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the potential risks associated with the Company. The Company’s prospectus provides a detailed discussion of the Company’s risks and considerations. The risks described in the prospectus are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that are currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Risks of Investing in CLOs and Other Structured Debt Securities
CLOs and other structured finance securities are generally backed by a pool of credit-related assets that serve as collateral. Accordingly, CLO and structured finance securities present risks similar to those of other types of credit investments, including default (credit), interest rate and prepayment risks. In addition, CLOs and other structured finance securities are often governed by a complex series of legal documents and contracts, which increases the risk of dispute over the interpretation and enforceability of such documents relative to other types of investments. There is also a risk that the trustee of a CLO does not properly carry out its duties to the CLO, potentially resulting in loss to the CLO. CLOs are also inherently leveraged vehicles and are subject to leverage risk.
Subordinated Securities Risk
CLO equity and junior debt securities that the Company may acquire are subordinated to more senior tranches of CLO debt. CLO equity and junior debt securities are subject to increased risks of default relative to the holders of superior priority interests in the same CLO. In addition, at the time of issuance, CLO equity securities are under-collateralized in that the face amount of the CLO debt and CLO equity of a CLO at inception exceed its total assets. The Company will typically be in a subordinated or first loss position with respect to realized losses on the underlying assets held by the CLOs in which the Company is invested.
High Yield Investment Risk
The CLO equity and junior debt securities that the Company acquires are typically rated below investment grade, or in the case of CLO equity securities unrated, and are therefore considered “higher yield” or “junk” securities and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. The senior secured loans and other credit-related assets underlying CLOs are also higher yield investments. Investing in CLO equity and junior debt securities and other high yield investments typically involves greater credit and liquidity risk than investment grade obligations, which may adversely impact the Company’s performance.
Leverage Risk
The use of leverage, whether directly or indirectly through investments such as CLO equity or junior debt securities that inherently involve leverage, may magnify the Company’s risk of loss. CLO equity or junior debt securities are very highly leveraged (with CLO equity securities typically being leveraged ten times), and therefore the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to a higher degree of risk of loss since the use of leverage magnifies losses.
Credit Risk
If (1) a CLO in which the Company invests, (2) an underlying asset of any such CLO or (3) any other type of credit investment in the Company’s portfolio declines in price or fails to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer or debtor, as the case may be, experiences a decline in its financial status, the Company’s income, NAV and/or market price would be adversely impacted.
Key Personnel Risk
The Adviser manages our investments. Consequently, the Company’s success depends, in large part, upon the services of the Adviser and the skill and expertise of the Adviser’s professional personnel. There can be no assurance that the professional personnel of the Adviser will continue to serve in their current positions or continue to be employed by the Adviser. We can offer no assurance that their services will be available for any length of time or that the Adviser will continue indefinitely as the Company’s investment adviser.
Conflicts of Interest Risk
The Company’s executive officers and directors, and the Adviser and certain of its affiliates and their officers and employees, including the members of the Investment Committee, have several conflicts of interest as a result of the other activities in which they engage.
Prepayment Risk
The assets underlying the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment by the underlying corporate borrowers. As such, the CLO securities and related investments in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment risk. If the Company or a CLO collateral manager are unable to reinvest prepaid amounts in a new investment with an expected rate of return at least equal to that of the investment repaid, the Company’s investment performance will be adversely impacted.
Liquidity Risk
Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments in which the Company invests. As such, the Company may not be able to sell such investments quickly, or at all. If the Company is able to sell such investments, the prices the Company receives may not reflect the Adviser’s assessment of their fair value or the amount paid for such investments by the Company.
Incentive Fee Risk
The Company’s incentive fee structure and the formula for calculating the fee payable to the Adviser may incentivize the Adviser to pursue speculative investments and use leverage in a manner that adversely impacts the Company’s performance.
Fair Valuation of the Company’s Portfolio Investments
Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments and certain other credit assets in which the Company
may invest. The Adviser values these securities at least quarterly, or more frequently as may be required from time to time, at fair value. The Adviser’s determinations of the fair value of the Company’s investments have a material impact on the Company’s net earnings through the recording of unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and may cause the Company’s NAV on a given date to understate or overstate, possibly materially, the value that the Company ultimately realizes on one or more of the Company’s investments.
Limited Investment Opportunities Risk
The market for CLO securities is more limited than the market for other credit related investments. The Company can offer no assurances that sufficient investment opportunities for the Company’s capital will be available. In recent years there has been a marked increase in the number of, and flow of capital into, investment vehicles established to pursue investments in CLO securities whereas the size of the market is relatively limited. While the Company cannot determine the precise effect of such competition, such increase may result in greater competition for investment opportunities, which may result in an increase in the price of such investments relative to the risk taken on by holders of such investments. Such competition may also result under certain circumstances in increased price volatility or decreased liquidity with respect to certain positions.
Non-Diversification Risk
The Company is a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act and expect to hold a narrower range of investments than a diversified fund under the 1940 Act.
Market Risk
Political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Company’s investments. A disruption or downturn in the capital markets and the credit markets could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital, reduce the availability of suitable investment opportunities for the Company, or adversely and materially affect the value of the Company’s investments, any of which would negatively affect the Company’s business. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain, and could affect companies worldwide.
Loan Accumulation Facilities Risk
The Company may invest in LAFs, which are short to medium term facilities often provided by the bank that will serve as placement agent or arranger on a CLO transaction and which acquire loans on an interim basis which are expected to form part of the portfolio of a future CLO. Investments in LAFs have risks similar to those applicable to investments in CLOs. Leverage is typically utilized in such a facility and as such the potential risk of loss will be increased for such facilities employing leverage. In the event a planned CLO is not consummated, or the loans are not eligible for purchase by the CLO, the Company may be responsible for either holding or disposing of the loans. This could expose the Company to credit and/or mark-to-market losses, and other risks.
Synthetic Investments Risk
The Company may invest in synthetic investments, such as significant risk transfer securities and credit risk transfer securities issued by banks or other financial institutions, or acquire interests in lease agreements that have the general characteristics of loans and are treated as loans for withholding tax purposes. In addition to the credit risks associated with the applicable reference assets, the Company will usually have a contractual relationship only with the counterparty of such synthetic investment, and not with the reference obligor of the reference asset. Accordingly, the Company generally will have no right to directly enforce compliance by the reference obligor with the terms of the reference asset nor will it have any rights of setoff against the reference obligor or rights with respect to the reference asset. The Company will not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the reference asset and will not have the benefit of the remedies that would normally be available to a holder of such reference asset. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the counterparty, the Company may be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the reference asset.
Currency Risk
Although the Company primarily makes investments denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company may make
investments denominated in other currencies. The Company’s investments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be subject to the risk that the value of such currency will decrease in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Company may or may not hedge currency risk.
Hedging Risk
Hedging transactions seeking to reduce risks may result in poorer overall performance than if the Company had not engaged in such hedging transactions. Additionally, such transactions may not fully hedge the Company’s risks.
Reinvestment Risk
CLOs will typically generate cash from asset repayments and sales that may be reinvested in substitute assets, subject to compliance with applicable investment tests. If the CLO collateral manager causes the CLO to purchase substitute assets at a lower yield than those initially acquired or sale proceeds are maintained temporarily in cash, it would reduce the excess interest-related cash flow, thereby having a negative effect on the fair value of the Company’s assets and the market value of the Company’s securities. In addition, the reinvestment period for a CLO may terminate early, which would cause the holders of the CLO’s securities to receive principal payments earlier than anticipated. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reinvest such amounts in an alternative investment that provides a comparable return relative to the credit risk assumed.
Interest Rate Risk
The price of certain of the Company’s investments may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, including recent increases in interest rates. Although senior secured loans are generally floating rate instruments, the Company’s investments in senior secured loans through investments in junior equity and debt tranches of CLOs are sensitive to interest rate levels and volatility. For example, because the senior secured loans constituting the underlying collateral of CLOs typically pay a floating rate of interest, a reduction in interest rates would generally result in a reduction in the residual payments made to the Company as a CLO equity holder (as well as the cash flow the Company receives on the Company’s CLO debt investments and other floating rate investments). Further, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, loan defaults may increase and result in credit losses that may adversely affect the Company’s cash flow, fair value of the Company’s assets and operating results. Because CLOs generally issue debt on a floating rate basis, an increase in the relevant benchmark index will increase the financing costs of CLOs.
Refinancing Risk
If the Company incurs debt financing and subsequently refinances such debt, the replacement debt may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions. If the Company fails to extend, refinance or replace such debt financings prior to their maturity on commercially reasonable terms, the Company’s liquidity will be lower than it would have been with the benefit of such financings, which would limit the Company’s ability to grow, and holders of the Company’s common stock would not benefit from the potential for increased returns on equity that incurring leverage creates.
Tax Risk
If the Company fails to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for any reason, or otherwise becomes subject to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes (and any related penalties) could substantially reduce the Company’s net assets, the amount of income available for distributions to the Company’s stockholders, and the amount of income available for payment of the Company’s other liabilities.
Derivatives Risk
Derivative instruments in which the Company may invest may be volatile and involve various risks different from, and in certain cases greater than, the risks presented by other instruments. The primary risks related to derivative transactions include counterparty, correlation, liquidity, leverage, volatility, over-the-counter trading, operational and legal risks. In addition, a small investment in derivatives could have a large potential impact on the Company’s performance, effecting a form of investment leverage on the Company’s portfolio. In certain types of derivative transactions, the Company could lose the entire amount of the Company’s investment; in other types of derivative
transactions the potential loss is theoretically unlimited.
Counterparty Risk
The Company may be exposed to counterparty risk, which could make it difficult for the Company or the issuers in which the Company invests to collect on obligations, thereby resulting in potentially significant losses.
Price Risk
Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Global Risks
Due to highly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value of the Company’s securities and its underlying investments may go up or down in response to governmental actions and/or general economic conditions throughout the world. Events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact the Company and its investments.
Banking Risk
The possibility of future bank failures poses risks of reduced financial market liquidity at clearing, cash management and other custodial financial institutions. The failure of banks which hold cash on behalf of the Company, the Company’s underlying obligors, the collateral managers of the CLOs in which the Company invests (or managers of other securitized or pooled vehicles in which the Company invests), or the Company’s service providers could adversely affect the Company’s ability to pursue its investment strategies and objectives. For example, if an underlying obligor has a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, such company may experience delays or other disruptions in meeting its obligations and consummating business transactions. Additionally, if a collateral manager has a commercial relationship with a distressed bank, the manager may experience issues conducting its operations or consummating transactions on behalf of the CLOs it manages, which could negatively affect the performance of such CLOs (and, therefore, the performance of the Company).

In May, we launched our first continuous offering of Series AA and Series AB Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock which are unlisted and do not trade on the NYSE. We have raised $8.7 million in net proceeds from this offering through June 2024. We believe our offering of Series AA and Series AB Convertible and Perpetual Preferred Stock will be significantly accretive over time.
The weighted average maturity on our outstanding notes and preferred stock as of June 30, 2024 was approximately 6.7 years and the weighted average cost of capital was 6.52%. In addition,
all of our financing is fixed rate with the earliest maturity not until April 2028, providing us with added certainty.
As of June 30, 2024, we had debt and preferred securities outstanding which totaled approximately 28.4% of our total assets (less current liabilities). Over the long term, management expects the Company to operate under normal market conditions generally with leverage within a range of 25% to 35% of total assets, although the actual amount of leverage will vary over time. As market conditions evolve, or should significant opportunities present themselves, the Company may incur leverage outside of this range, subject to applicable regulatory and contractual limits.

Risks of Investing in CLOs and Other Structured Debt Securities
CLOs and other structured finance securities are generally backed by a pool of credit-related assets that serve as collateral. Accordingly, CLO and structured finance securities present risks similar to those of other types of credit investments, including default (credit), interest rate and prepayment risks. In addition, CLOs and other structured finance securities are often governed by a complex series of legal documents and contracts, which increases the risk of dispute over the interpretation and enforceability of such documents relative to other types of investments. There is also a risk that the trustee of a CLO does not properly carry out its duties to the CLO, potentially resulting in loss to the CLO. CLOs are also inherently leveraged vehicles and are subject to leverage risk.

Subordinated Securities Risk
CLO equity and junior debt securities that the Company may acquire are subordinated to more senior tranches of CLO debt. CLO equity and junior debt securities are subject to increased risks of default relative to the holders of superior priority interests in the same CLO. In addition, at the time of issuance, CLO equity securities are under-collateralized in that the face amount of the CLO debt and CLO equity of a CLO at inception exceed its total assets. The Company will typically be in a subordinated or first loss position with respect to realized losses on the underlying assets held by the CLOs in which the Company is invested.

High Yield Investment Risk
The CLO equity and junior debt securities that the Company acquires are typically rated below investment grade, or in the case of CLO equity securities unrated, and are therefore considered “higher yield” or “junk” securities and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. The senior secured loans and other credit-related assets underlying CLOs are also higher yield investments. Investing in CLO equity and junior debt securities and other high yield investments typically involves greater credit and liquidity risk than investment grade obligations, which may adversely impact the Company’s performance.

Leverage Risk
The use of leverage, whether directly or indirectly through investments such as CLO equity or junior debt securities that inherently involve leverage, may magnify the Company’s risk of loss. CLO equity or junior debt securities are very highly leveraged (with CLO equity securities typically being leveraged ten times), and therefore the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to a higher degree of risk of loss since the use of leverage magnifies losses.

As such, the CLO securities and related investments in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment risk. If the Company or a CLO collateral manager are unable to reinvest prepaid amounts in a new investment with an expected rate of return at least equal to that of the investment repaid, the Company’s investment performance will be adversely impacted.

Fair Valuation of the Company’s Portfolio Investments
Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments and certain other credit assets in which the Company
may invest. The Adviser values these securities at least quarterly, or more frequently as may be required from time to time, at fair value. The Adviser’s determinations of the fair value of the Company’s investments have a material impact on the Company’s net earnings through the recording of unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and may cause the Company’s NAV on a given date to understate or overstate, possibly materially, the value that the Company ultimately realizes on one or more of the Company’s investments.

Limited Investment Opportunities Risk
The market for CLO securities is more limited than the market for other credit related investments. The Company can offer no assurances that sufficient investment opportunities for the Company’s capital will be available. In recent years there has been a marked increase in the number of, and flow of capital into, investment vehicles established to pursue investments in CLO securities whereas the size of the market is relatively limited. While the Company cannot determine the precise effect of such competition, such increase may result in greater competition for investment opportunities, which may result in an increase in the price of such investments relative to the risk taken on by holders of such investments. Such competition may also result under certain circumstances in increased price volatility or decreased liquidity with respect to certain positions.

Political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Company’s investments. A disruption or downturn in the capital markets and the credit markets could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital, reduce the availability of suitable investment opportunities for the Company, or adversely and materially affect the value of the Company’s investments, any of which would negatively affect the Company’s business. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain, and could affect companies worldwide.

Loan Accumulation Facilities Risk
The Company may invest in LAFs, which are short to medium term facilities often provided by the bank that will serve as placement agent or arranger on a CLO transaction and which acquire loans on an interim basis which are expected to form part of the portfolio of a future CLO. Investments in LAFs have risks similar to those applicable to investments in CLOs. Leverage is typically utilized in such a facility and as such the potential risk of loss will be increased for such facilities employing leverage. In the event a planned CLO is not consummated, or the loans are not eligible for purchase by the CLO, the Company may be responsible for either holding or disposing of the loans. This could expose the Company to credit and/or mark-to-market losses, and other risks.

Synthetic Investments Risk
The Company may invest in synthetic investments, such as significant risk transfer securities and credit risk transfer securities issued by banks or other financial institutions, or acquire interests in lease agreements that have the general characteristics of loans and are treated as loans for withholding tax purposes. In addition to the credit risks associated with the applicable reference assets, the Company will usually have a contractual relationship only with the counterparty of such synthetic investment, and not with the reference obligor of the reference asset. Accordingly, the Company generally will have no right to directly enforce compliance by the reference obligor with the terms of the reference asset nor will it have any rights of setoff against the reference obligor or rights with respect to the reference asset. The Company will not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the reference asset and will not have the benefit of the remedies that would normally be available to a holder of such reference asset. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the counterparty, the Company may be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the reference asset.

Reinvestment Risk
CLOs will typically generate cash from asset repayments and sales that may be reinvested in substitute assets, subject to compliance with applicable investment tests. If the CLO collateral manager causes the CLO to purchase substitute assets at a lower yield than those initially acquired or sale proceeds are maintained temporarily in cash, it would reduce the excess interest-related cash flow, thereby having a negative effect on the fair value of the Company’s assets and the market value of the Company’s securities. In addition, the reinvestment period for a CLO may terminate early, which would cause the holders of the CLO’s securities to receive principal payments earlier than anticipated. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reinvest such amounts in an alternative investment that provides a comparable return relative to the credit risk assumed.

Interest Rate Risk
The price of certain of the Company’s investments may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, including recent increases in interest rates. Although senior secured loans are generally floating rate instruments, the Company’s investments in senior secured loans through investments in junior equity and debt tranches of CLOs are sensitive to interest rate levels and volatility. For example, because the senior secured loans constituting the underlying collateral of CLOs typically pay a floating rate of interest, a reduction in interest rates would generally result in a reduction in the residual payments made to the Company as a CLO equity holder (as well as the cash flow the Company receives on the Company’s CLO debt investments and other floating rate investments). Further, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, loan defaults may increase and result in credit losses that may adversely affect the Company’s cash flow, fair value of the Company’s assets and operating results. Because CLOs generally issue debt on a floating rate basis, an increase in the relevant benchmark index will increase the financing costs of CLOs.

If the Company incurs debt financing and subsequently refinances such debt, the replacement debt may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions. If the Company fails to extend, refinance or replace such debt financings prior to their maturity on commercially reasonable terms, the Company’s liquidity will be lower than it would have been with the benefit of such financings, which would limit the Company’s ability to grow, and holders of the Company’s common stock would not benefit from the potential for increased returns on equity that incurring leverage creates.

Derivatives Risk
Derivative instruments in which the Company may invest may be volatile and involve various risks different from, and in certain cases greater than, the risks presented by other instruments. The primary risks related to derivative transactions include counterparty, correlation, liquidity, leverage, volatility, over-the-counter trading, operational and legal risks. In addition, a small investment in derivatives could have a large potential impact on the Company’s performance, effecting a form of investment leverage on the Company’s portfolio. In certain types of derivative transactions, the Company could lose the entire amount of the Company’s investment; in other types of derivative
transactions the potential loss is theoretically unlimited.

The possibility of future bank failures poses risks of reduced financial market liquidity at clearing, cash management and other custodial financial institutions. The failure of banks which hold cash on behalf of the Company, the Company’s underlying obligors, the collateral managers of the CLOs in which the Company invests (or managers of other securitized or pooled vehicles in which the Company invests), or the Company’s service providers could adversely affect the Company’s ability to pursue its investment strategies and objectives. For example, if an underlying obligor has a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, such company may experience delays or other disruptions in meeting its obligations and consummating business transactions. Additionally, if a collateral manager has a commercial relationship with a distressed bank, the manager may experience issues conducting its operations or consummating transactions on behalf of the CLOs it manages, which could negatively affect the performance of such CLOs (and, therefore, the performance of the Company).
