All debt investments are income producing, unless otherwise noted. The Adviser determines in good faith the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with a valuation policy and processes established by the Adviser, which have been approved by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

(Amounts in thousands, except unit/share amounts)
investments unless otherwise noted. Index-based floating interest rates are generally subject to a contractual minimum interest rate. Variable rate loans to the Company’s portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), the Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (“BBSY”), the Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate (“STIBOR”), the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”), the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), the Swiss Average Rate Overnight (“SARON”), the Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate (“NIBOR”), the Bank Bill Market rate (“BKBM”) or an alternate base rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrower’s option, which reset annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly. For each such loan, the Company has provided the interest rate in effect on the date presented. SOFR-based contracts may include a credit spread adjustment that is charged in addition to the base rate and the stated spread. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan.
(2)
All of the Company’s portfolio company investments (including joint venture investments), which as of September 30, 2025 represented
217.4
% of the Company’s net assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales. The acquisition date represents the date of the Company’s initial investment in the relevant portfolio company.
(3)
Investment is not a qualifying investment as defined under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. Non-qualifying assets represent
24.1
% of t
ot
al investments at fair value as of September 30, 2025. Qualifying assets must represent at least 70% of total assets at the time of acquisition of any additional non-qualifying assets. If at any time qualifying assets do not represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets, the Company will be precluded from acquiring any additional non-qualifying asset until such time as it complies with the requirements of Section 55(a).
(4)
As defined in the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to be an “affiliated person” of the portfolio company as the Company owns between 5% or more, up to 25% (inclusive), of the portfolio company’s voting securities (“non-controlled affiliate”).

Fair value as a percentage of net assets.
(1)
All debt investments are income producing, unless otherwise noted. The Adviser determines in good faith the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with a valuation policy and processes established by the Adviser, which have been approved by the Board, and the 1940 Act. In addition, all debt investments are variable rate investments unless otherwise noted. Index-based floating interest rates are generally subject to a contractual minimum interest rate. Variable rate loans to the Company’s portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to SOFR, EURIBOR, BBSY, STIBOR, CORRA, SONIA, SARON, NIBOR, BKBM or an alternate base rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrower’s option, which reset annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly. For each such loan, the Company has provided the interest rate in effect on the date presented. SOFR-based contracts may include a credit spread adjustment that is charged in addition to the base rate and the stated spread. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan.
(2)
All of the Company’s portfolio company investments (including joint venture investments), which as of December 31, 2024 represented
205.8
% of the Company’s net assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales. The acquisition date represents the date of the Company’s initial investment in the relevant portfolio company.

The Company currently operates as a closed-end, non-diversified investment company and has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the 1940 Act. The Company has elected for federal income tax purposes to be treated and intends to qualify annually as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Organization
The Company is a Maryland corporation incorporated on October 10, 2006. On August 2, 2018, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Original Advisory Agreement”) and an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) and became an externally-managed BDC managed by Barings LLC (“Barings” or the “Adviser”). An externally-managed BDC generally does not have any employees, and its investment and management functions are provided by an outside investment adviser and administrator under an investment advisory agreement and administration agreement. Instead of the Company directly compensating employees, the Company pays the Adviser for investment and management services pursuant to the terms of the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement (as defined in “Note 2. Agreements and Related Party Transactions”) and reimburses Barings, in its role as the Company’s administrator, for its provision of administrative services to the Company pursuant to the Administration Agreement. See “Note 2. Agreements and Related Party Transactions” for additional information regarding the Company’s investment advisory agreement and administration agreement.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Barings BDC, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The effects of all intercompany transactions between the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is an investment company and, therefore, applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946,
Financial Services – Investment Companies
(“ASC Topic 946”). ASC Topic 946 states that consolidation by the Company of an investee that is not an investment company is not appropriate, except when the Company holds a controlling interest in an operating company that provides all or substantially all of its services directly to the Company or to its portfolio companies. None of the portfolio investments made by the Company qualify for this exception. Therefore, the Company’s investment portfolio is carried on the Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, as discussed further in “Note 3. Investments”, with any adjustments to fair value recognized as “Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been reflected in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the full fiscal year. Additionally, the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024. Financial statements prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Share Repurchase Programs
On February 22, 2024, the Board authorized a
12
-month share repurchase program (the “Prior Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Prior Share Repurchase Program, the Company was able to repurchase, during the
12
-month period commencing on March 1, 2024, up to $
30.0
million in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the then-current net asset value (“NAV”) per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases was determined by the Company, in its discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, the Company’s stock price, applicable legal, contractual and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Prior Share Repurchase Program terminated on March 1, 2025. The Prior Share Repurchase Program did not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company could not assure stockholders that any shares would have been repurchased under the program. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company did
not
repurchase any shares pursuant to the Prior Share Repurchase Program. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company purchased a total of
658,132
shares of its common stock in the open market under the Prior Share Repurchase Program at an average price of $
9.79
per share, including brokerage commissions.
On February 20, 2025, the Board authorized a new
12
-month share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase, during the
12
-month period commencing on March 1, 2025, up to $
30.0
million in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the then-current NAV per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company, in its discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, the Company’s stock price, applicable legal, contractual and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Share Repurchase Program is expected to be in effect until March 1, 2026, unless extended or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the Board has been expended. The Share Repurchase Program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company did
not
repurchase any shares of its common stock in the open market under the Share Repurchase Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased a total of
250,000
shares of its common stock in the open market under the Share Repurchase Program at an average price of $
9.35
per share, including brokerage commissions.

AGREEMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On August 2, 2018, the Company entered into the Original Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement with the Adviser, an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
In connection with the completion of the Company’s acquisition of MVC on December 23, 2020 (the “
MVC Acquisition”)
, the Company entered into an amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser
, following approval of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement by the Company’s stockholders at its December 23, 2020 special meeting of stockholders. The terms of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement became effective on January 1, 2021.
The Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement amended the Original Advisory Agreement to, among other things, (i) reduce the annual base management fee payable to the Adviser from
1.375
% to
1.250
% of the Company’s gross assets, (ii) reset the commencement date for the rolling
12
-quarter “look-back” provision used to calculate the income incentive fee and incentive fee cap to January 1, 2021 from January 1, 2020 and (iii) describe the fact that the Company may enter into guarantees, sureties and other credit support arrangements with respect to one or more of its investments, including the impact of these arrangements on the income incentive fee cap.
In connection with the completion of the Company’s acquisition of Sierra on February 25, 2022 (the “Sierra Merger”), the Company entered into a second amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “Second Amended Barings BDC Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser, which increased the hurdle rate applicable to the income incentive fee from
2.0
% to
2.0625
% per quarter (or from
8.0
% to
8.25
% annualized) and therefore increased the catch-up amount that is used in calculating the income incentive fee to correspond to the increase in the hurdle rate. All other terms and provisions of the
Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement
between the Company and the Adviser, including with respect to the calculation of the other fees payable to the Adviser, remained unchanged under the Second Amended Barings BDC Advisory Agreement. On June 24, 2023, the Company entered into a third amended and restated investment advisory agreement with the Adviser in order to update the term of the agreement to expire on June 24 of each year subject to annual re-approval in accordance with its terms (the “Barings BDC Advisory Agreement”). All other terms and provisions of the Second Amended Barings BDC Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Adviser, including with respect to the calculation of the fees payable to the Adviser, remain unchanged under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement.

Investment Advisory Agreement
Pursuant to the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the Company’s day-to-day operations and provides the Company with investment advisory services. Among other things, the Adviser (i) determines the composition of the portfolio of the Company, the nature and timing of the changes therein and the manner of implementing such changes; (ii) identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments made by the Company; (iii) executes, closes, services and monitors the investments that the Company makes; (iv) determines the securities and other assets that the Company will purchase, retain or sell; (v) performs due diligence on prospective portfolio companies and (vi) provides the Company with such other investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds.
The Barings BDC Advisory Agreement provides that, absent fraud, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of its duties and obligations, the Adviser, and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with the Adviser (collectively, the “IA Indemnified Parties”), are entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damages, liabilities, costs, demands, charges, claims and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) incurred by the IA Indemnified Parties in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of the Company or its security holders) arising out of any actions or omissions or otherwise based upon the performance of any of the Adviser’s duties or obligations under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company. The Adviser’s services under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and the Adviser is generally free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its performance under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement is not adversely affected.
The Adviser has entered into a personnel-sharing arrangement with its affiliate, Baring International Investment Limited (“BIIL”). BIIL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Baring Asset Management Limited, which in turn is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser. Pursuant to this arrangement, certain employees of BIIL may serve as “associated persons” of the Adviser and, in this capacity, subject to the oversight and supervision of the Adviser, may provide research and related services, and discretionary investment management and trading services (including acting as portfolio managers) to the Company on behalf of the Adviser. This arrangement is based on no-action letters of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that permit SEC-registered investment advisers to rely on and use the resources of advisory affiliates or “participating affiliates,” subject to the supervision of that SEC-registered investment adviser. BIIL is a “participating affiliate” of the Adviser, and the BIIL employees are “associated persons” of the Adviser.
Under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser (i) a base management fee (the “Base Management Fee”) and (ii) an incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”) as compensation for the investment advisory and management services it provides the Company thereunder.
Base Management Fee
The Base Management Fee is calculated based on the Company’s gross assets, including the Company’s credit support agreements, assets purchased with borrowed funds or other forms of leverage and excluding cash and cash equivalents, at an annual rate of
1.25
%. The Base Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. The Base Management Fee is calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters prior to the quarter for which such fees are being calculated. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately prorated.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Base Management Fees determined in accordance with the terms of the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement were approximately $
8.4
million and $
24.6
million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Base Management Fees determined in accordance with the terms of the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement were approximately $
8.0
million and $
24.5
million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the Base Management Fee of $
8.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was unpaid and included in “Base management fees payable” in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2024, the Base Management Fee of $
7.9
million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was unpaid and included in “Base management fees payable” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Incentive Fee
The Incentive Fee consists of
two
components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on the Company’s income (the “Income-Based Fee”) and a portion is based on the Company’s capital gains (the “Capital Gains Fee”), each as described below:
(i) The Income-Based Fee will be determined and paid quarterly in arrears based on the amount by which (x) the aggregate “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” (as defined below) in respect of the current calendar quarter and the eleven preceding calendar quarters beginning with the calendar quarter that commences on or after January 1, 2021, as the case may be (or the appropriate portion thereof in the case of any of the Company’s first eleven calendar quarters that commences on or after January 1, 2021) (in either case, the “Trailing Twelve Quarters”) exceeds (y) the Hurdle Amount (as defined below) in respect of the Trailing Twelve Quarters. The Hurdle Amount will be determined on a quarterly basis, and will be calculated by multiplying
2.0625
% (
8.25
% annualized) by the aggregate of the Company’s NAV at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. For this purpose, “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including, without limitation, any accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash and any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses accrued during the calendar quarter (including, without limitation, the Base Management Fee, administration expenses and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Income-Based Fee and the Capital Gains Fee). For the avoidance of doubt, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
The calculation of the Income-Based Fee for each quarter is as follows:
(A) No Income-Based Fee will be payable to the Adviser in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s aggregate Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the Trailing Twelve Quarters does not exceed the Hurdle Amount;
(B)
100
% of the Company’s aggregate Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the Trailing Twelve Quarters, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Amount but is less than or equal to an amount (the “Catch-Up Amount”) determined on a quarterly basis by multiplying
2.578125
% (
10.3125
% annualized) by the Company’s NAV at the beginning of each applicable calendar quarter comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. The Catch-Up Amount is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of
20
% on all of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income when the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income reaches the Catch-Up Amount for the Trailing Twelve Quarters; and
(C) For any quarter in which the Company’s aggregate Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for the Trailing Twelve Quarters exceeds the Catch-Up Amount, the Income-Based Fee shall equal
20
% of the amount of the Company’s aggregate Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income for such Trailing Twelve Quarters, as the Hurdle Amount and Catch-Up Amount will have been achieved.
Subject to the Incentive Fee Cap described below, the amount of the Income-Based Fee that will be paid to the Adviser for a particular quarter will equal the excess of the aggregate Income-Based Fee so calculated less the aggregate Income-Based Fees that were paid to the Adviser in the preceding eleven calendar quarters (or portion thereof) comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters.
(ii) The Income-Based Fee is subject to a cap (the “Incentive Fee Cap”). The Incentive Fee Cap in any quarter is an amount equal to (a)
20
% of the Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return (as defined below) during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters less (b) the aggregate Income-Based Fee that was paid to the Adviser in the preceding eleven calendar quarters (or portion thereof) comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. For this purpose, “Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return” during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters means (x) Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in respect of the Trailing Twelve Quarters less (y) any Net Capital Loss, if any, in respect of the Trailing Twelve Quarters. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is zero or a negative value, the Company will pay no Income-Based Fee to the Adviser in that quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is a positive value but is less than the Income-Based Fee calculated in accordance with paragraph (i) above, the Company will pay the Adviser the Incentive Fee Cap for such quarter. If, in any quarter, the Incentive Fee Cap is equal to or greater than the Income-Based Fee calculated in accordance with paragraph (i) above, the Company will pay the Adviser the Income-Based Fee for such quarter.
65
Barings BDC, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
“Net Capital Loss” in respect of a particular period means the difference, if positive, between (i) aggregate capital losses on the Company’s assets, whether realized or unrealized, in such period and (ii) aggregate capital gains or other gains on the Company’s assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the value ascribed to any credit support arrangement in the Company’s financial statements even if such value is not categorized as a gain therein), whether realized or unrealized, in such period.
(iii) The Capital Gains Fee will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the investment advisory agreement), commencing with the calendar year ended on December 31, 2018, and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (1) the sum of the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (2) the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from August 2, 2018. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the Capital Gains Fee payable for such year is equal to
20
% of such amount, less the cumulative aggregate amount of Capital Gains Fees paid in all prior years commencing with the calendar year ended on December 31, 2018. If such amount is negative, then there is no Capital Gains Fee payable for such year. If this Agreement is terminated as of a date that is not a calendar year end, the termination date will be treated as though it were a calendar year end for purposes of calculating and paying a Capital Gains Fee.
Under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement, the “cumulative aggregate realized capital gains” are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company’s portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.
The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company’s portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.
The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in the Company’s portfolio as of the applicable Capital Gains Fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.
Under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement,
the “
accreted or amortized cost basis of an investment”
shall mean the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment as reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Income-Based Fees determined in accordance with the terms of the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement were $
5.6
million and $
24.5
million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Income-Based Fees determined in accordance with the terms of the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement were $
6.6
million and $
15.9
million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the Income-Based Fee of $
5.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was unpaid and included in “Incentive management fees payable” in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2024, the Income-Based Fee of $
7.9
million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was unpaid and included in “Incentive management fees payable” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company did
not
incur any capital gains fees for either of the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.
Payment of Company Expenses
Under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement, all investment professionals of the Adviser and its staff, when and to the extent engaged in providing services required to be provided by the Adviser under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement, and the compensation and routine overhead expenses of such personnel allocable to such services, are provided and paid for by the Adviser and not by the Company, except that all costs and expenses relating to the Company’s operations and transactions, including, without limitation, those items listed in the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement, will be borne by the Company.

Administration Agreement
Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Adviser performs (or oversees, or arranges for, the performance of) the administrative services necessary for the operation of the Company, including, but not limited to, office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record-keeping services at such office facilities and such other services as the Adviser, subject to review by the Board, from time to time, determines to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under the Administration Agreement. The Adviser also, on behalf of the Company and subject to oversight by the Board, arranges for the services of, and oversees, custodians, depositories, transfer agents, dividend disbursing agents, other stockholder servicing agents, accountants, attorneys, valuation experts, underwriters, brokers and dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurers, banks and such other persons in any such other capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable.
The Company will reimburse Barings for the costs and expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities under the Administration Agreement in an amount to be negotiated and mutually agreed to by the Company and Barings quarterly in arrears. In no event will the agreed-upon quarterly expense amount exceed the amount of expenses that would otherwise be reimbursable by the Company under the Administration Agreement for the applicable quarterly period, and Barings will not be entitled to the recoupment of any amounts in excess of the agreed-upon quarterly expense amount. The costs and expenses incurred by the Adviser on behalf of the Company under the Administration Agreement include, but are not limited to:
•
the allocable portion of the Adviser’s rent for the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs, which is based upon the allocable portion of the usage thereof by such personnel in connection with their performance of administrative services under the Administration Agreement;
•
the allocable portion of the salaries, bonuses, benefits and expenses of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and their respective staffs, which is based upon the allocable portion of the time spent by such personnel in connection with performing administrative services for the Company under the Administration Agreement;
•
the actual cost of goods and services used for the Company and obtained by the Adviser from entities not affiliated with the Company, which is reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other methods conforming with U.S. GAAP;
•
all fees, costs and expenses associated with the engagement of a sub-administrator, if any; and
•
costs associated with (a) the monitoring and preparation of regulatory reporting, including registration statements and amendments thereto, prospectus supplements, and tax reporting, (b) the coordination and oversight of service provider activities and the direct cost of such contractual matters related thereto and (c) the preparation of all financial statements and the coordination and oversight of audits, regulatory inquiries, certifications and sub-certifications.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred and was invoiced by the Adviser for expenses of approximately $
0.4
million and $
1.1
million, respectively, under the terms of the Administration Agreement, which amounts are included in “General and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred and was invoiced by the Adviser for expenses of approximately $
0.4
million and $
1.4
million, respectively, under the terms of the Administration Agreement, which amounts are included in “General and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2025, the administrative expenses of $
0.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were unpaid and included in “Administrative fees payable” in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2024, the administrative expenses of $

MVC Credit Support Agreement
In connection with the MVC Acquisition on December 23, 2020, promptly following the closing of the Company’s merger with
MVC
, the Company entered into a Credit Support Agreement (the “MVC Credit Support Agreement”) with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser agreed to provide credit support to the Company in the amount of up to $
23.0
million relating to the net cumulative realized and unrealized losses on the acquired MVC investment portfolio over a
10-year
period.
A summary of the material terms of the MVC Credit Support Agreement are as follows:
•
The MVC Credit Support Agreement covered all of the investments in the MVC Reference Portfolio.
67
Barings BDC, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
•
The Adviser had an obligation to provide credit support to the Company in an amount equal to the excess of (1) the aggregate realized and unrealized losses on the MVC Reference Portfolio over (2) the aggregate realized and unrealized gains on the MVC Reference Portfolio, in each case from the date of the closing of the Company’s merger with MVC through the MVC Designated Settlement Date (as defined below) (up to a $
23.0
million cap) (such amount, the “MVC Covered Losses”). For purposes of the MVC Credit Support Agreement, “MVC Designated Settlement Date” was defined as the earlier of (1) January 1, 2031 and (2) the date on which the entire MVC Reference Portfolio would have been realized or written off. No credit support was required to be made by the Adviser to the Company under the MVC Credit Support Agreement if the aggregate realized and unrealized gains on the MVC Reference Portfolio exceeded realized and unrealized losses of the MVC Reference Portfolio on the MVC Designated Settlement Date.
•
The Adviser would settle any credit support obligation under the MVC Credit Support Agreement as follows. If the MVC Covered Losses were greater than $
0.00
, then, in satisfaction of the Adviser’s obligation set forth in the MVC Credit Support Agreement, the Adviser would irrevocably waive during the MVC Waiver Period (as defined below) (1) the Incentive Fees payable under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement (including any Incentive Fee calculated on an annual basis during the MVC Waiver Period), and (2) in the event that MVC Covered Losses exceeded such Incentive Fee, the Base Management Fees payable under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement. The “MVC Waiver Period” was defined as the four quarterly measurement periods immediately following the quarter in which the MVC Designated Settlement Date would have occurred. If the MVC Covered Losses exceeded the aggregate amount of Incentive Fees and Base Management Fees waived by the Adviser during the MVC Waiver Period, then, on the date on which the last Incentive Fee or Base Management Fee payment would otherwise be due during the MVC Waiver Period, the Adviser would make a cash payment to the Company equal to the positive difference between the MVC Covered Losses and the aggregate amount of Incentive Fees and Base Management Fees previously waived by the Adviser during the MVC Waiver Period.
•
The MVC Credit Support Agreement and the rights of the Company thereunder would have automatically terminated if the Adviser (or an affiliate of the Adviser) ceased to serve as the investment adviser to the Company or any successor thereto, other than as a result of the voluntary termination by the Adviser of its investment advisory agreement with the Company. In the event of such a voluntary termination by the Adviser of the then-current investment advisory agreement with the Company, the Adviser would remain obligated to provide the credit support contemplated by the MVC Credit Support Agreement. In the event of a non-voluntary termination of the advisory agreement or its expiration (due to non-renewal by the Board), the Adviser would have no obligations under the MVC Credit Support Agreement.
The MVC Credit Support Agreement was intended to give stockholders of the combined company following the MVC Acquisition downside protection from net cumulative realized and unrealized losses on the acquired MVC portfolio and insulate the combined company’s stockholders from potential value volatility and losses in MVC’s portfolio following the closing of the MVC Acquisition. There was no fee or other payment by the Company to the Adviser or any of its affiliates in connection with the MVC Credit Support Agreement. Any cash payment from the Adviser to the Company under the MVC Credit Support Agreement would be excluded from the Company’s Incentive Fee calculations under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement.
When the Company and the Adviser entered into the MVC Credit Support Agreement, it was accounted for as a deemed contribution from the Adviser and was included in “Additional paid-in capital” in the accompanying Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the MVC Credit Support Agreement was accounted for as a derivative in accordance with ASC Topic 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
(“ASC Topic 815”), and is included in “Credit support agreements” in the accompanying Audited Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On May 8, 2025, the Company entered into the Termination and Cancellation Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Barings to terminate all rights and obligations under the MVC Credit Support Agreement in exchange for Barings’ cash payment of $
23.0
million to the Company, which amount represents Barings’ maximum obligation under the MVC Credit Support Agreement. Barings’ cash payment of $
23.0
million to the Company was made on June 30, 2025, and the Company recorded a $
9.4
million gain, which is included in the “Net realized gains (losses) - Credit support agreements” in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sierra Credit Support Agreement
In connection with the Sierra Merger on February 25, 2022, promptly following the closing of the Company’s merger with Sierra, the Company entered into a Credit Support Agreement (the “Sierra Credit Support Agreement”) with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to provide credit support to the Company in the amount of up to $
100.0
million

The Adviser has an obligation to provide credit support to the Company in an amount equal to the excess of (1) the aggregate realized and unrealized losses on the Sierra Reference Portfolio less (2) the aggregate realized and unrealized gains on the Sierra Reference Portfolio, in each case from the date of the closing of the Company’s merger with Sierra through the Sierra Designated Settlement Date (as defined below) (up to a $
100.0
million cap) (such amount, the “Covered Losses”). For purposes of the Sierra Credit Support Agreement, “Sierra Designated Settlement Date” means the earlier of (1) April 1, 2032 and (2) the date on which the entire Sierra Reference Portfolio has been realized or written off. No credit support is required to be made by the Adviser to the Company under the Sierra Credit Support Agreement if the aggregate realized and unrealized gains on the Sierra Reference Portfolio exceed realized and unrealized losses of the Sierra Reference Portfolio on the Sierra Designated Settlement Date.
•
The Adviser will settle any credit support obligation under the Sierra Credit Support Agreement as follows. If the Covered Losses are greater than $
0.00
, then, in satisfaction of the Adviser’s obligation set forth in the Sierra Credit Support Agreement, the Adviser will irrevocably waive during the Waiver Period (as defined below) (1) the Incentive Fees payable under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement (including any Incentive Fee calculated on an annual basis during the Waiver Period), and (2) in the event that Covered Losses exceed such Incentive Fee, the Base Management Fees payable under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement. The “Waiver Period” means the four quarterly measurement periods immediately following the quarter in which the Sierra Designated Settlement Date occurs. If the Covered Losses exceed the aggregate amount of Incentive Fees and Base Management Fees waived by the Adviser during the Waiver Period, then, on the date on which the last Incentive Fee or Base Management Fee payment would otherwise be due during the Waiver Period, the Adviser shall make a cash payment to the Company equal to the positive difference between the Covered Losses and the aggregate amount of Incentive Fees and Base Management Fees previously waived by the Adviser during the Waiver Period.
•
The Sierra Credit Support Agreement and the rights of the Company thereunder shall automatically terminate if the Adviser (or an affiliate of the Adviser) ceases to serve as the investment adviser to the Company or any successor thereto, other than as a result of the voluntary termination by the Adviser of its investment advisory agreement with the Company. In the event of such a voluntary termination by the Adviser of the then-current investment advisory agreement with the Company, the Adviser will remain obligated to provide the credit support contemplated by the Sierra Credit Support Agreement. In the event of a non-voluntary termination of the advisory agreement or its expiration (due to non-renewal by the Board), the Adviser will have no obligations under the Sierra Credit Support Agreement.
The Sierra Credit Support Agreement is intended to give stockholders of the combined company following the Sierra Merger downside protection from net cumulative realized and unrealized losses on the acquired Sierra portfolio and insulate the combined company’s stockholders from potential value volatility and losses in Sierra’s portfolio following the closing of the Company’s merger with Sierra. There is no fee or other payment by the Company to the Adviser or any of its affiliates in connection with the Sierra Credit Support Agreement. Any cash payment from the Adviser to the Company under the Sierra Credit Support Agreement will be excluded from the combined company’s Incentive Fee calculations under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement.

INVESTMENTS
Portfolio Composition
The Company invests predominantly in senior secured private debt investments in well-established middle-market businesses that operate across a wide range of industries, as well as syndicated senior secured loans, structured product investments, bonds and other fixed income securities. Structured product investments include collateralized loan obligations and asset-backed securities. The Adviser’s existing SEC co-investment exemptive relief under the 1940 Act permits the Company and the Adviser’s affiliated private funds and SEC-registered funds to co-invest in loans originated by the Adviser, which allows the Adviser to efficiently implement its senior secured private debt investment strategy for the Company.
The cost basis of the Company’s debt investments includes any unamortized purchased premium or discount, unamortized loan origination fees and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, if any.

for treatment as a sale and satisfies the following conditions:
•
assigned investments have been isolated from the Company, and put presumptively beyond the reach of the Company and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership;
•
each participant has the right to pledge or exchange the assigned investments it received, and no condition both constrains the participant from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a trivial benefit to the Company; and
•
the Company, its consolidated affiliates or its agents do not maintain effective control over the assigned investments through either: (i) an agreement that entitles and/or obligates the Company to repurchase or redeem the assets before maturity, or (ii) the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets, other than through a cleanup call.
The Company has determined that Jocassee is an investment company under ASC Topic 946, however, in accordance with such guidance, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially wholly owned investment company subsidiary, which is an extension of the operations of the Company, or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. The Company does not consolidate its interest in Jocassee as it is not a substantially wholly owned investment company subsidiary. In addition, Jocassee is not an operating company and the Company does not control Jocassee due to the allocation of voting rights among Jocassee members.

Sierra Senior Loan Strategy JV I LLC
On February 25, 2022, as part of the Sierra Merger, the Company purchased its interest in Sierra Senior Loan Strategy JV I LLC (“Sierra JV”). The Company and MassMutual Ascend Life Insurance Company (“MMALIC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, are the members of Sierra JV, a joint venture formed as a Delaware limited liability company and commenced operations on July 15, 2015. Sierra JV’s investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in the debt of privately-held middle market companies with a focus on senior secured first lien term loans. The members of Sierra JV make capital contributions as investments by Sierra JV are completed, and all portfolio and other material decisions regarding Sierra JV must be submitted to Sierra JV’s board of managers, which is comprised of
four
members,
two
of whom are selected by the Company and the other
two
are selected by MMALIC. Approval of Sierra JV’s board of managers requires the unanimous approval of a quorum of the board of managers, with a quorum consisting of equal representation of members appointed by each of the Company and MMALIC.
As of September 30, 2025, Sierra JV had total capital commitments of $
124.5
million with the Company committing $
110.1
million and MMALIC committing $
14.5
million. The Company had fully funded its $
110.1
million commitment and total commitments of $
124.5
million were fully funded as of September 30, 2025.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Sierra JV declared $
2.0
million and $
6.0
million, respectively, in distributions, of which $
1.8
million and $
5.4
million, respectively, was recognized as dividend income in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Sierra JV declared $
0.8
million and $
1.8
million, respectively, in distributions, of which $
0.7
million and $
1.6
million, respectively, was recognized as dividend income in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company has determined that Sierra JV is an investment company under ASC Topic 946, however, in accordance with such guidance, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a substantially wholly owned investment company subsidiary, which is an extension of the operations of the Company, or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. The Company does not consolidate its interest in Sierra JV as it is not a substantially wholly owned investment company subsidiary. In addition, Sierra JV is not an operating company the Company does not control Sierra JV due to the allocation of voting rights among Sierra JV members.

Rocade Holdings LLC
On February 1, 2023, the Company made an equity investment in Rocade Holdings LLC (“Rocade”) of $
45.0
million, alongside other related party affiliates and made additional investments thereafter during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 of $
3.5
million. The total equity invested in Rocade as of September 30, 2025 was $
71.0
million (excluding preferred dividends) and the Company had $
7.0
million of unfunded preferred equity commitments. Rocade conducts its business through Rocade LLC and operates as Rocade Capital. Rocade is one of the country’s leading litigation finance platforms that specializes in providing financing to plaintiff law firms engaged in mass tort and other civil litigation. Rocade typically provides loans to law firms that are secured by the borrowing firm’s interests in award settlements, including contingency fees expected to be earned from successful litigation. The loans generally bear floating rate PIK interest with an overall expected annualized return between
10
% and
25
% and collect debt service upon receipt of settlement awards and/or contingency fees. The addition of Rocade to the portfolio allows the Company to participate in an uncorrelated asset class that offers differentiated income returns as compared to directly originated loans. Rocade is led by a seasoned team of litigation finance experts.
The Company has determined that Rocade is not an investment company under ASC Topic 946
.
Under ASC 810-10-15-12(d), an investment company generally does not consolidate an investee that is not an investment company other than a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the company. Thus, the Company is not required to consolidate Rocade because it does not provide services to the Company. Instead, the Company accounts for its equity investment in Rocade in accordance with ASC Topic 946-320, presented as a single investment measured at fair value.
Valuation of Investments
The Adviser conducts the valuation of the Company’s investments, upon which the Company’s NAV is primarily based, in accordance with its valuation policy, as well as established and documented processes and methodologies for determining the fair values of portfolio company investments on a recurring (at least quarterly) basis in accordance with the 1940 Act and FASB ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(“ASC Topic 820”). The Company’s current valuation policy and processes were established by the Adviser and were approved by the Board.
Under ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller at the measurement date. For the Company’s portfolio securities, fair value is generally the amount that the Company might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of the security. The fair value measurement assumes that the sale occurs in the principal market for the security, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the security. If no market for the security exists or if the Company does not have access to the principal market, the security should be valued based on the sale occurring in a hypothetical market.
Under ASC Topic 820, there are three levels of valuation inputs, as follows:
Level 1 Inputs
– include quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs
– include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 Inputs
– include inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument is categorized within the ASC Topic 820 valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input to the valuation process that is significant to the fair value measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, unrealized appreciation and depreciation related to such investments categorized as Level 3 investments within the tables below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The Company’s investment portfolio includes certain debt and equity instruments of privately held companies for which quoted prices or other observable inputs falling within the categories of Level 1 and Level 2 are generally not available. In such cases, the Adviser determines the fair value of the Company’s investments in good faith primarily using Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, quoted prices or other observable inputs exist, and if so, the Adviser assesses the appropriateness of the use of these third-party quotes in determining fair value based on (i) its understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer and (ii) the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with the underlying performance of the portfolio company.
There is no single approach for determining fair value in good faith, as fair value depends upon the specific circumstances of each individual investment. The recorded fair values of the Company’s Level 3 investments may differ significantly from fair values that would have been used had an active market for the securities existed. In addition, changes in the market
78
Barings BDC, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.
Investment Valuation Process
The Board must determine fair value in good faith for any or all Company investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Board has designated the Adviser as valuation designee to perform the fair value determinations relating to the value of the assets held by the Company for which market quotations are not readily available. The Adviser has established a pricing committee that is, subject to the oversight of the Board, responsible for the approval, implementation and oversight of the processes and methodologies that relate to the pricing and valuation of assets held by the Company. The Adviser uses independent third-party providers to price the portfolio, but in the event an acceptable price cannot be obtained from an approved external source, the Adviser will utilize alternative methods in accordance with internal pricing procedures established by the Adviser’s pricing committee.
At least annually, the Adviser conducts reviews of the primary pricing vendors to validate that the inputs used in the vendors’ pricing process are deemed to be market observable. While the Adviser is not provided access to proprietary models of the vendors, the reviews have included on-site walkthroughs of the pricing process, methodologies and control procedures for each asset class and level for which prices are provided. The review also includes an examination of the underlying inputs and assumptions for a sample of individual securities across asset classes, credit rating levels and various durations, a process the Adviser continues to perform annually. In addition, the pricing vendors have an established challenge process in place for all security valuations, which facilitates identification and resolution of prices that fall outside expected ranges. The Adviser believes that the prices received from the pricing vendors are representative of prices that would be received to sell the assets at the measurement date (i.e., exit prices).
The Company’s money market fund investments are generally valued using Level 1 inputs and its equity investments listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued using Level 1 inputs, using the last quoted sale price of that day. The Company’s syndicated senior secured loans and structured product investments are generally valued using Level 2 inputs, which are generally valued at the bid quotation obtained from dealers in loans by an independent pricing service. The Company’s middle-market, private debt and equity investments are generally valued using Level 3 inputs.
Independent Valuation
The fair value of loans and equity investments that are not syndicated or for which market quotations are not readily available, including middle-market loans, are generally submitted to independent providers to perform an independent valuation on those loans and equity investments as of the end of each quarter. Such loans and equity investments are initially held at cost, as that is a reasonable approximation of fair value on the acquisition date, and monitored for material changes that could affect the valuation (for example, changes in interest rates or the credit quality of the borrower). At the quarter end following that of the initial acquisition, such loans and equity investments are generally sent to a valuation provider which will determine the fair value of each investment. The independent valuation providers apply various methods (synthetic rating analysis, discounting cash flows, and re-underwriting analysis) to establish the rate of return a market participant would require (the “discount rate”) as of the valuation date, given market conditions, prevailing lending standards and the perceived credit quality of the issuer. Future expected cash flows for each investment are discounted back to present value using these discount rates in the discounted cash flow analysis. A range of values will be provided by the valuation provider and the Adviser will determine the point within that range that it will use. If the Adviser’s pricing committee disagrees with the price range provided, it may make a fair value recommendation to the Adviser that is outside of the range provided by the independent valuation provider and the reasons therefore. In certain instances, the Company may determine that it is not cost-effective, and as a result is not in the stockholders’ best interests, to request an independent valuation firm to perform an independent valuation on certain investments. Such instances include, but are not limited to, situations where the fair value of the investment in the portfolio company is determined to be insignificant relative to the total investment portfolio.
Valuation Inputs
The Adviser’s valuation techniques are based upon both observable and unobservable pricing inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Adviser’s market assumptions. The Adviser’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. An independent pricing service provider is the preferred source of pricing a loan, however, to the extent the independent pricing service provider price is unavailable or not relevant and reliable, the Adviser will utilize alternative approaches such as broker quotes or manual prices. The Adviser attempts to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The availability of observable inputs can vary from

investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the security.
Valuation of Investments in Jocassee, Thompson Rivers, Waccamaw River, Sierra JV and MVC Private Equity Fund LP
As Jocassee, Thompson Rivers, Waccamaw River, Sierra JV and MVC Private Equity Fund LP are investment companies with no readily determinable fair values, the Adviser estimates the fair value of the Company’s investments in these entities using the NAV of each company and the Company’s ownership percentage as a practical expedient. The NAV is determined in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies.
Level 3 Unobservable Inputs
The following tables summarize the significant unobservable inputs the Adviser used in the valuation of the Company’s Level 3 debt and equity securities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The weighted average range of unobservable inputs is based on fair value of investments.

Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the period in which the transfers occur. For both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, transfers into (out of) Level 3 were as a result of changes in the observability of significant inputs for certain portfolio companies.
All realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are included in earnings (changes in net assets) and are reported on separate line items within the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Pre-tax net
on Level 3 investments of $
19.8
million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was related to portfolio company investments that were still held by the Company as of September 30, 2025. Pre-tax net unrealized depreciation on Level 3 investments of $
13.0
million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was related to portfolio company investments that were still held by the Company as of September 30, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company made investments of approximately $
464.5
million in portfolio companies to which it was not previously contractually committed to provide such financing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company made investments of $
90.2
million in portfolio companies to which it was previously committed to provide such financing.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company made investments of approximately $
272.4
million in portfolio companies to which it was not previously contractually committed to provide such financing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company made investments of $
73.3
million in portfolio companies to which it was previously committed to provide such financing.
Unsettled Purchases and Sales of Investments
Investment transactions are recorded based on the trade date of the transaction. As a result, unsettled purchases and sales are recorded as payables and receivables from unsettled transactions, respectively. While purchases and sales of the Company’s syndicated senior secured loans generally settle on a T+7 basis, the settlement period will sometimes extend past the scheduled settlement. In such cases, the Company generally is contractually owed and recognizes interest income equal to the applicable margin (“spread”) beginning on the T+7 date. Such income is accrued as interest receivable and is collected upon settlement of the investment transaction.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Realized Gain or Loss and Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation of Portfolio Investments
Realized gains or losses are recorded upon the sale or liquidation of investments and are calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale or liquidation, if any, and the cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflects the difference between the fair value of the investments and the cost basis of the investments.
Investment Classification
In accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company classifies investments by level of control. As defined in the 1940 Act, “Control Investments” are investments in those companies that the Company is deemed to “Control.” “Affiliate Investments” are investments in those companies that are “Affiliated Persons” of the Company, as defined in the 1940 Act, other than Control Investments. “Non-Control / Non-Affiliate Investments” are those that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments. Generally, under the 1940 Act, the Company is deemed to control a company in which it has invested if the Company owns more than 25.0% of the voting securities (i.e., securities with the right to elect directors) and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. Generally, under the 1940 Act, “Affiliate Investments” that are not otherwise “Control Investments” are defined as investments in which the Company owns at least 5.0%, up to 25.0% (inclusive), of the voting securities and does not have the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company.
Cash and Foreign Currencies
Cash consists of deposits held at a custodian bank and restricted cash pledged as collateral for certain derivative instruments. Cash is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company places its cash with financial institutions and, at times, cash may exceed insured limits under applicable law.
Investment Income
Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company writes off any previously accrued and uncollected interest when it is determined that interest is no longer considered collectible. As of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had
eight
portfolio companies with investments that were on non-accrual. As of September 30, 2025, the
eight
portfolio companies on non-accrual included
two
portfolio companies purchased as part of the Sierra Merger and
six
portfolio companies originated by Barings. As of December 31, 2024, the
eight
portfolio companies on non-accrual included
two
portfolio companies purchased as part of the Sierra Merger,
one
purchased as part of the MVC Acquisition and
five
portfolio companies originated by Barings.
Interest income from investments in the equity class of a collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) security (typically subordinated notes) is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC Topic 325-40,
Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets
. The Company monitors the expected cash flows from these investments, including the expected residual payments, and the effective yield is determined and updated periodically. Any difference between the cash distribution received and the amount calculated pursuant to the effective interest method is recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of such investments.
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Payment-in-Kind Income
The Company currently holds, and expects to hold in the future, some loans in its portfolio that contain PIK interest provisions. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is periodically added to the principal balance of the loan, rather than being paid to the Company in cash, and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of PIK interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment.
85
Barings BDC, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
The Company has certain preferred equity securities in its portfolio that contain a PIK dividend provision that are accrued and recorded as dividend income at the contractual rates specified in each applicable agreement. The accrued PIK and non-cash dividends are capitalized to the cost basis of the preferred equity security and are generally collected when redeemed by the portfolio company.
PIK interest and dividend income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income at the time of recognition, is included in the Company’s taxable income and therefore affects the amount the Company is required to distribute to its stockholders to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC for federal income tax purposes, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. Generally, when current cash interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if the Company otherwise does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing PIK interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The Company writes off any accrued and uncollected PIK interest when it is determined that the PIK interest is no longer collectible. As of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had
one
portfolio company that was current on interest payments and on partial non-accrual status for PIK purposes only.
Fee and Other Income
Origination, facility, commitment, consent and other advance fees received in connection with loan agreements (“Loan Origination Fees”) are recorded as deferred income and recognized as investment income over the term of the loan. Upon prepayment of a loan, any unamortized Loan Origination Fees are recorded as investment income. In the general course of its business, the Company receives certain fees from portfolio companies, which are non-recurring in nature. Such fees include loan prepayment penalties, structuring fees and covenant waiver fees and amendment fees, and are recorded as investment income when earned. Other income includes royalty income received in connection to revenue participation rights which is recorded on an accrual basis in accordance with revenue participation right agreements and recognized as investment income over the term of the rights.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include administrative costs, facilities costs, insurance, legal and accounting expenses, expenses reimbursable to the Adviser under the terms of the Administration Agreement and other costs related to operating as a publicly-traded company.
Deferred Financing Fees
Costs incurred to issue debt are capitalized and are amortized over the term of the debt agreements using the effective interest method.
Segments
The Company lends to and invests in portfolio companies in various industries. The Company operates as a single operating and reporting segment: lending and investment. The segment generates revenues through debt investments, and on a limited basis, may acquire equity investments in portfolio companies. The accounting policies of the lending and investment segment are the same as those described herein and in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company has identified the Chief Executive Officer, its President, and Chief Financial Officer as the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), who evaluates the performance of the lending and investment segment. The CODM uses segment net investment income before taxes and net increase in net assets resulting from operations to determine the capital allocation of the Company, the dividend policy, and the Company’s investment strategy, which is outlined in “Business–Investment Criteria” in Part I, Item 1 of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. As the Company operates as a single reportable segment, the segment assets are presented on the accompanying Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets as “total assets” and the net investment income before taxes, significant segment expenses, and net increase in net assets resulting from operations are presented on the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no individual investments representing greater than 10% of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s largest single portfolio company investment represented approximately
6.0
% and
6.2
%, respectively, of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio. Income, consisting of interest, dividends, fees, other investment income and realization of gains or losses on equity interests, can fluctuate dramatically upon repayment of an investment or sale of an equity interest and in any given year can be highly concentrated among several portfolio companies.
As of September 30, 2025, all of the Company’s assets were or will be pledged as collateral for the February 2019 Credit Facility.

Financial and Derivative Instruments
Pursuant to ASC Topic 815, certain derivative instruments entered into by the Company are designated as hedging instruments. For all derivative instruments designated as a hedge, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument shall be recorded in the same line item of the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations as the hedged item. The Company’s derivative instruments are used to hedge the Company’s fixed rate debt, and therefore both the periodic payment and the change in fair value for the effective hedge, if applicable, will be recognized as components of interest expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps is based on unadjusted prices from independent pricing services and independent indicative broker quotes, which are Level 2 inputs.
Investments Denominated in Foreign Currencies
As of September 30, 2025, the Company held
two
investments that were denominated in Canadian dollars,
two
investments that were denominated in Danish kroner,
10
investments that were denominated in Australian dollars,
two
investments that were denominated in New Zealand dollars,
one
investment that was denominated in Norwegian kroner,
two
investments that were denominated in Swiss francs,
one
investment that was denominated in Swedish kronor,
69
investments that were denominated in Euros, and
31
investments that were denominated in British pounds sterling. As of December 31, 2024, the Company held
one
investment that was denominated in Canadian dollars,
one
investment that was denominated in Danish kroner,
11
investments that were denominated in Australian dollars,
two
investments that were denominated in New Zealand dollars,
one
investment that was denominated in Norwegian kroner,
two
investments that were denominated in Swiss francs,
two
investments that were denominated in Swedish kronor,
72
investments that were denominated in Euros, and
27
investments that were denominated in British pounds sterling.
At each balance sheet date, portfolio company investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars using the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period. Purchases and sales of foreign portfolio company investments, and any income from such investments, are translated into United States dollars using the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the fair values of foreign portfolio company investments and the fluctuation in such fair values are translated into United States dollars using the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, the Company does not separately report that portion of the change in fair values resulting from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations from the change in fair values of the underlying investment. All fluctuations in fair value are included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In addition, during both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company entered into forward currency contracts primarily to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on net interest income from the Company’s investments and related borrowings denominated in foreign currencies. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward currency contracts are included in “Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) - forward currency contracts” and net realized gains or losses on forward currency contracts are included in “Net realized gains (losses) - forward currency contracts” in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies and foreign currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. Dollar.
4.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has elected for federal income tax purposes to be treated, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code and intends to make the required distributions to its stockholders as specified therein. In order to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC, the Company must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then the Company is generally required to pay taxes only on the portion of its taxable income and gains it does not distribute (actually or constructively) and certain built-in gains. The Company has historically met its minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and continually monitors its distribution requirements with the goal of ensuring compliance with the Code.
Depending on the level of investment company taxable income (“ICTI”) and net capital gains, if any, or taxable income, the Company may choose to carry forward undistributed taxable income and pay a 4% nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax on certain undistributed income unless the Company distributes, in a timely manner, an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of net ordinary income for each calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of the amount by which capital gains exceed capital losses (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year (or later if the Company is permitted
88
Barings BDC, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
to elect and so elects) and (iii) certain undistributed amounts from previous years on which the Company paid no U.S. federal income tax. Any such carryover of taxable income must be distributed before the end of that next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing of the tax return related to the year which generated such taxable income not to be subject to U.S. federal income tax. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded net expenses of $
1.3
million and $
2.5
million, respectively, for U.S. federal excise tax. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded net expenses of $
1.0
million and $
1.6
million, respectively, for U.S. federal excise tax.
Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns are evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions taken, or to be taken, on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (fiscal years 2021-2023), and has concluded that the provision for uncertain tax positions in the Company’s financial statements is appropriate.
Taxable income generally differs from increase in net assets resulting from operations due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized gains or losses, as unrealized gains or losses are generally not included in taxable income until they are realized. The Company makes certain adjustments to the classification of net assets as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, which include differences in the book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, and nondeductible federal taxes or losses among other items. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to additional paid in capital, or total distributable earnings (loss), as appropriate.
For federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was approximately $
2,573.6
million and $
2,550.7
million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, net unrealized depreciation on the Company’s investments (tax basis) was approximately $
27.7
million, consisting of gross unrealized appreciation, where the fair value of the Company’s investments exceeds their tax cost, of approximately $
121.6
million and gross unrealized depreciation, where the tax cost of the Company’s investments exceeds their fair value, of approximately $
149.3
million. As of December 31, 2024, net unrealized depreciation on the Company’s investments (tax basis) was approximately $
50.5
million, consisting of gross unrealized appreciation, where the fair value of the Company’s investments exceeds their tax cost, of approximately $
124.0
million and gross unrealized depreciation, where the tax cost of the Company’s investments exceeds their fair value, of approximately $
174.5
million.
I
n addition, the Company has wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries (the “Taxable Subsidiaries”), which hold certain portfolio investments that are listed on the Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Schedules of Investments. The Taxable Subsidiaries are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, such that the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s investments in the portfolio companies owned by the Taxable Subsidiaries. The purpose of the Taxable Subsidiaries is to permit the Company to hold certain portfolio companies that are organized as limited liability companies (“LLCs”) (or other forms of pass-through entities) and still satisfy the RIC tax requirement that at least 90% of the RIC’s gross revenue for income tax purposes must consist of qualifying investment income. Absent the Taxable Subsidiaries, a proportionate amount of any gross income of an LLC (or other pass-through entity) portfolio investment would flow through directly to the RIC. To the extent that such income did not consist of qualifying investment income, it could jeopardize the Company’s ability to qualify as a RIC and therefore cause the Company to incur significant amounts of federal income taxes. When LLCs (or other pass-through entities) are owned by the Taxable Subsidiaries, their income is taxed to the Taxable Subsidiaries and does not flow through to the RIC, thereby helping the Company preserve its RIC tax treatment and resultant tax advantages. The Taxable Subsidiaries are not consolidated for income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense or benefit as a result of their ownership of the portfolio companies. This income tax expense or benefit, if any, is reflected in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, any unrealized appreciation related to portfolio investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries (net of unrealized depreciation related to portfolio investments held by the Taxable Subsidiaries) is reflected net of applicable federal and state income taxes, if any, in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations, with the related deferred tax assets or liabilities, if any, included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” in the Company’s Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of $
3.0
million pertaining to operating losses and tax basis differences related to certain partnership interests. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of $
11.0
million pertaining to operating losses and tax basis differences related to certain partnership interests. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, given the losses generated by the entity, the net deferred tax assets have been offset by a valuation allowance of $
4.6
million and $
11.2
million, respectively. The Company concluded that the remaining net deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized, though this is not assured, and as such no valuation allowance has been provided on these assets.

Effective May 9, 2023, the revolving period of the February 2019 Credit Facility was extended to February 21, 2025, followed by a
one-year
repayment period, and the maturity date was extended to February 21, 2026.

%. The swap transaction matures on February 15, 2029. The interest expense related to the February 2029 Notes will be equally offset by proceeds received from the interest rate swap. The swap adjusted interest expense is included as a component of interest and other financing fees in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the interest rate swap had a fair value of $
3.9
million and $(
4.4
) million, respectively. Depending on the nature of the balance at period end, the fair value of the interest rate swap is either included as a component of derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap is offset by the change in fair value of the February 2029 Notes. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap is based on unadjusted prices from independent pricing services and independent indicative broker quotes, which are Level 2 inputs.
September 2028 Notes
On September 8, 2025, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement among the Company, Barings LLC, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, ING Financial Markets LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., in connection with the issuance and sale of $
300.0
million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s
5.200
% senior unsecured notes due September 15, 2028 (the “September 2028 Notes”). The September 2028 Notes offering closed on September 15, 2025 and the September 2028 Notes were issued under a Third Supplemental Indenture, dated September 15,

Barings BDC, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
2025, between the Company and the Trustee, to the Base Indenture (the “Third Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “September 2028 Notes Indenture”).
The September 2028 Notes will mature on September 15, 2028 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time or from time to time prior to August 15, 2028 at par value plus a “make-whole” premium calculated in accordance with the terms under “optional redemption” in the September 2028 Notes Indenture and at par value on August 15, 2028 or thereafter. The September 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of
5.200
% per year payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2026. The September 2028 Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the September 2028 Notes, rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company, rank effectively junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and rank structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.
The September 2028 Notes Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to comply with the asset coverage requirements of Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) and (2) of the 1940 Act, whether or not it is subject to those requirements (but giving effect to exemptive relief granted to the Company by the SEC), and to provide financial information to the holders of the September 2028 Notes and the Trustee if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the September 2028 Notes Indenture. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the September 2028 Notes Indenture.
In addition, on the occurrence of a “change of control repurchase event,” as defined in the September 2028 Notes Indenture, the Company may be required by the holders of the September 2028 Notes to make an offer to purchase the outstanding September 2028 Notes at a price equal to
100
% of the principal amount of such September 2028 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.
The net proceeds received by the Company in connection with the September 2028 Notes offering were approximately $
294.7
million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of the outstanding September 2028 Notes was $
298.4
million. The fair value determinations of the September 2028 Notes were based on a market yield approach and current interest rates, which are Level 3 inputs to the market yield model.
In connection with the offering of the September 2028 Notes, on September 15, 2025, the Company entered into a $
300.0
million notional value interest rate swap. The Company receives a fixed rate interest at
5.20
% paid semi-annually and pays semi-annually based on a compounded daily rate of SOFR plus
2.059
%. The swap transaction matures on September 15, 2028. The interest expense related to the September 2028 Notes will be equally offset by proceeds received from the interest rate swap. The swap adjusted interest expense is included as a component of interest and other financing fees in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2025, the interest rate swap had a fair value of $(
1.6
) million. Depending on the nature of the balance at period end, the fair value of the interest rate swap is either included as a component of derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap is offset by the change in fair value of the September 2028 Notes. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap is based on unadjusted prices from independent pricing services and independent indicative broker quotes, which are Level 2 inputs.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, consisting primarily of unused commitments to extend financing to the Company’s portfolio companies.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company believed that it had adequate financial resources to satisfy its unfunded commitments.
The balances of unused commitments to extend financing as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

In the normal course of business, the Company guarantees certain obligations in connection with its portfolio companies (in particular, certain controlled portfolio companies). Under these guarantee arrangements, payments may be required to be made to third parties if such guarantees are called upon or if the portfolio companies were to default on their related obligations, as applicable. As of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had guaranteed €
9.9
million ($
11.6
million U.S. dollars and $
10.3
million U.S. dollars, respectively) relating to credit facilities among Erste Bank and MVC Automotive Group Gmbh (“MVC Auto”) that mature in December 2025. The Company would be required to make payments to Erste Bank if MVC Auto were to default on their related payment obligations. None of the credit facility guarantees are recorded as a liability on the Company’s Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets, as such the credit facility liabilities are considered in the valuation of the investments in MVC Auto. The guarantees denominated in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars based on the spot rate at the relevant balance sheet date.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Neither the Company, the Adviser, nor the Company’s subsidiaries are currently subject to any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to their respective businesses. The Company, the Adviser, and the Company’s subsidiaries may from time to time, however, be involved in litigation arising out of operations in the normal course of business or otherwise, including in connection with strategic transactions. Furthermore, third parties may seek to impose liability on the Company in connection with the activities of its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any current legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect any current matters will materially affect its financial condition or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance whether any pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in any future reporting period.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion is designed to provide a better understanding of our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, including a brief discussion of our business, key factors that impacted our performance and a summary of our operating results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Historical results and percentage relationships among any amounts in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of trends in operating results for any future periods.
Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report constitute forward-looking statements because they relate to future events or our future performance or financial condition. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements as to our future operating results, our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies, the impact of the investments that we expect to make, the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives, our expected financings and investments, the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital, and the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “goals,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “continue,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “potential,” variations of such words, and similar expressions indicate a forward-looking statement, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. Readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are only predictions, are not guarantees of future performance, and are subject to risks, events, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Our actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including the items discussed herein, in Item 1A titled “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in Item 1A titled “Risk Factors” in Part II of our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or in other reports that we may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time. Other factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially include, but are not limited to, changes in political, economic or industry conditions, including the risks of a slowing economy, rising inflation and risk of recession, disruptions related to tariffs and other trade or sanction issues, government shutdowns and volatility in the financial services sector, including bank failures; the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets; the impact of global health crises on our or our portfolio companies’ business and the U.S. and global economies; our, or our portfolio companies’, future business, operations, operating results or prospects; risks associated with possible disruption due to terrorism in our operations or the economy generally; and future changes in laws or regulations and conditions in our or our portfolio companies’ operating areas. These statements are based on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts, information and projections about the industry in which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless we are required to do so by law. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.
Overview of Our Business
We are a Maryland corporation incorporated on October 10, 2006. In August 2018, in connection with the closing of an externalization transaction through which Barings LLC (“Barings” or the “Adviser”) agreed to become our external investment adviser, we entered into an investment advisory agreement and an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Barings. In connection with the completion of our acquisition of MVC Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on December 23, 2020 (the “MVC Acquisition”), we entered into an amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”) with Barings on December 23, 2020, following approval of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement by our stockholders at our December 23, 2020 special meeting of stockholders. The terms of the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement became effective on January 1, 2021. In connection with the completion of our acquisition of Sierra Income Corporation on February 25, 2022 (the “Sierra Merger”), we entered into a second amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “Second Amended Barings BDC Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser. On June 24, 2023, we entered into the third amended and restated advisory agreement with the Adviser in order to update the term of the agreement to expire on June 24 of each year subject to annual re-approval in accordance with its terms (the “Barings BDC Advisory Agreement”). All other terms and provisions of the Second Amended Barings BDC Advisory Agreement between us the Adviser, including with respect to the calculation of the fees payable to the Adviser, remained unchanged under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement. Under the terms of the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement,
107
Barings serves as our investment adviser and administrator and manages our investment portfolio and performs (or oversees, or arranges for, the performance of) the administrative services necessary for our operation.
An externally-managed business development company (“BDC”) generally does not have any employees, and its investment and management functions are provided by an outside investment adviser and administrator under an advisory agreement and administration agreement. Instead of directly compensating employees, we pay Barings for investment management and administrative services pursuant to the terms of an investment advisory agreement and an administration agreement. Under the terms of the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement, the fees paid to Barings for managing our affairs are determined based upon an objective and fixed formula, as compared with the subjective and variable nature of the costs associated with employing management and employees in an internally-managed BDC structure, which include bonuses that cannot be directly tied to Company performance because of restrictions on incentive compensation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
Barings focuses on investing our portfolio primarily in senior secured private debt investments in well-established middle-market businesses that operate across a wide range of industries. Barings’ existing SEC co-investment exemptive relief under the 1940 Act (as amended, the “Co-Investment Exemptive Relief”) permits us and Barings’ affiliated private and SEC-registered funds to co-invest in Barings-originated loans, which allows Barings to efficiently implement its senior secured private debt investment strategy for us.
We and Barings have applied for a new exemptive relief order which, if granted, would supersede the Co-Investment Exemptive Relief with respect to negotiated co-investment transactions alongside Barings’ affiliated private and SEC-registered funds. There can be no assurance that we will obtain such new exemptive relief from the SEC.
Barings employs fundamental credit analysis, and targets investments in businesses with relatively low levels of cyclicality and operating risk. The holding size of each position will generally be dependent upon a number of factors including total facility size, pricing and structure, and the number of other lenders in the facility. Barings has experience managing levered vehicles, both public and private, and will seek to enhance our returns through the use of leverage with a prudent approach that prioritizes capital preservation. Barings believes this strategy and approach offers attractive risk/return with lower volatility given the potential for fewer defaults and greater resilience through market cycles. A significant portion of our investments are expected to be rated below investment grade by rating agencies or, if unrated would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
We generate revenues in the form of interest income, primarily from our investments in debt securities, loan origination and other fees and dividend income. Fees generated in connection with our debt investments are recognized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method or, in some cases, recognized as earned. Our senior secured, middle-market, private debt investments generally have terms of between five and seven years. Our senior secured, middle-market, first lien private debt investments generally bear interest between the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (or the applicable currency rate for investments in foreign currencies) plus 450 basis points and SOFR plus 650 basis points per annum. Our subordinated middle-market, private debt investments generally bear interest between SOFR (or the applicable currency rate for investments in foreign currencies) plus 700 basis points and SOFR plus 900 basis points per annum if floating rate, and between 8% and 15% if fixed rate. From time to time, certain of our investments may have a form of interest, referred to as payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, which is not paid currently but is instead accrued and added to the loan balance and paid at the end of the term. To a lesser extent, we will invest opportunistically in assets such as, without limitation, equity, special situations, structured credit (e.g., private asset-backed securities), syndicated loan opportunities and/or mortgage securities.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted average yield on the principal amount of our outstanding debt investments other than non-accrual debt investments was approximately 9.8% and 10.2%, respectively. The weighted average yield on the principal amount of all of our outstanding debt investments (including non-accrual debt investments) was approximately 9.3% and 9.8% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Relationship with Our Adviser, Barings
Our investment adviser, Barings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, is a leading global asset management firm and is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Barings’ primary investment capabilities include fixed income, private credit, real estate, equity, and alternative investments. Subject to the overall supervision of our Board of Directors (the “Board”), Barings’ Global Private Finance Group (“Barings GPFG”) manages our day-to-day operations, and provides investment advisory and management services to us. Barings GPFG is part of Barings’ $375.0 billion Global Fixed Income Platform (as of September 30, 2025) that invests in liquid, private and structured credit. Barings GPFG also advises private funds and separately managed accounts, along with multiple public vehicles.
Among other things, Barings (i) determines the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes therein and the manner of implementing such changes; (ii) identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments made by us; (iii) executes, closes, services and monitors the investments that we make; (iv) determines the securities and other assets that we will purchase, retain or sell; (v) performs due diligence on prospective portfolio companies and (vi) provides us with such other investment advisory, research and related services as we may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of our funds.
Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, Barings (in its capacity as our Administrator) performs (or oversees, or arranges for, the performance of) the administrative services necessary for our operation, including, but not limited to, office facilities, equipment, clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such office facilities and such other services as Barings, subject to review by the Board, will from time to time determine to be necessary or useful to perform its obligations under the Administration Agreement. Barings also, on our behalf and subject to the Board’s oversight, arranges for the services of, and oversees, custodians, depositories, transfer agents, dividend disbursing agents, other stockholder servicing agents, accountants, attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurers, banks and such other persons in any such other capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable. Barings is responsible for the financial and other records that we are required to maintain and will prepare all reports and other materials required to be filed with the SEC or any other regulatory authority.
Included in Barings GPFG is Barings North American Private Finance Team (the “U.S. Investment Team”), which consists of 57 investment professionals (as of September 30, 2025) located in three offices in the United States. The U.S. Investment Team provides a full set of solutions to the North American middle market, including first and second lien senior secured loans, unitranche structures, revolvers, mezzanine debt and equity co-investments. The U.S. Investment Team averages over 20 years of industry experience at the Managing Director and Director level. Also included in Barings GPFG are its Europe and Asia-Pacific Investment Committees and Private Finance Teams, which are responsible for our investment origination and portfolio monitoring activities for middle-market companies in Europe and Asia-Pacific geographies. In addition, Barings believes that it has best-in-class support personnel, including expertise in risk management, legal, accounting, tax, information technology and compliance, among others. We expect to benefit from the support provided by these personnel in our operations.
Stockholder Approval of Reduced Asset Coverage Ratio
On July 24, 2018, our stockholders voted at a special meeting of stockholders (the “2018 Special Meeting”) to approve a proposal to authorize us to be subject to a reduced asset coverage ratio of at least 150% under the 1940 Act. As a result of the stockholder approval at the 2018 Special Meeting, effective July 25, 2018, our applicable asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act has been decreased to 150% from 200%. As a result, we are permitted under the 1940 Act to incur indebtedness at a level which is more consistent with a portfolio of senior secured debt. As of September 30, 2025, our asset coverage ratio was 171.5%.
Portfolio Composition
The total value of our investment portfolio was $2,536.3 million as of September 30, 2025, as compared to $2,449.3 million as of December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, we had investments in 333 portfolio companies with an aggregate cost of $2,564.0 million. As of December 31, 2024, we had investments in 328 portfolio companies with an aggregate cost of $2,522.7 million. As of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, none of our portfolio investments represented greater than 10% of the total fair value of our investment portfolio.

Portfolio Risk Monitoring
The Adviser monitors our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. As part of the monitoring process, the Adviser regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our investments and, on a quarterly basis, rates each investment on a risk scale of 1 to 5. Risk assessment is not standardized in our industry and our risk ratings may not be comparable to ones used by other companies. For additional information regarding the Adviser’s portfolio management and investment monitoring, see “Item 1. Business – Portfolio Management and Investment Monitoring” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
111
Our risk assessment is based on the following risk rating categories:
•
Risk Rating 1: In the opinion of the Adviser, the issuer is performing materially above expectations at the time of underwriting and the business trends and/or risk factors are favorable.
•
Risk Rating 2: In the opinion of the Adviser, the issuer is performing in a manner consistent with expectations at the time of underwriting and the current risk is believed to be similar to that at the time the asset was originated.
•
Risk Rating 3: In the opinion of the Adviser, the issuer is performing below expectations at the time of underwriting and the investment risk has increased since underwriting.
•
Risk Rating 4: In the opinion of the Adviser, the issuer is performing materially below expectations at the time of underwriting and the investment risk has increased materially since underwriting. Issuers with a risk rating of 4 are typically in violation of one or more debt covenants.
•
Risk Rating 5: In the opinion of the Adviser, the issuer is performing substantially below expectations at the time of underwriting and indicates the investment risk has increased substantially since underwriting. Loans with a risk rating of 5 are not anticipated to be repaid in full or have a possibility to not be repaid in full, and the fair market value reflects the Adviser’s current estimate of recoverable value.
The following table shows the classification of our investments by risk rating as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Investment risk ratings are accurate only as of those dates and may change due to subsequent developments to a portfolio company’s business or financial condition, market conditions or developments, and other factors.

Non-Accrual Assets
Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. As of September 30, 2025, we had eight portfolio companies with investments on non-accrual, the aggregate fair value of which was $20.4 million, which comprised 0.8% of the total fair value of our portfolio, and the aggregate cost of which was $45.4 million, which comprised 1.8% of the total cost of our portfolio. Excluding the non-accrual assets that are covered by the Sierra Credit Support Agreement (as defined in “Note 2. Agreements and Related Party Transactions”) with Barings, the non-accruals as of September 30, 2025 comprised 0.4% of the total fair value of our portfolio and 1.1% of the aggregate cost of our portfolio. As of December 31, 2024, we had eight portfolio companies with investments on non-accrual, the aggregate fair value of which was $8.0 million, which comprised 0.3% of the total fair value of our portfolio, and the aggregate cost of which was $41.6 million, which comprised 1.6% of the total cost of our portfolio. Excluding the non-accrual assets that are covered by the Sierra Credit Support Agreement with Barings, the non-accruals as of December 31, 2024 comprised 0.2% of the total fair value of our portfolio and 0.9% of the aggregate cost of our portfolio.

The change in total investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to increased dividends from portfolio companies and joint venture investments, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield on the portfolio and decreased fee and other income. The change in total investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average yield on the portfolio, partially offset by increased dividends from portfolio companies and joint venture investments and increased fee and other income. The weighted average yield on the principal amount of our outstanding debt investments, other than non-accrual debt investments, was 9.8% as of September 30, 2025, as compared to 10.6% as of September 30, 2024.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, dividends from portfolio companies and joint venture investments were $14.2 million and $39.5 million, respectively, as compared to $9.8 million and $30.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, fee and other income was $4.0 million and $12.5 million, respectively, as compared to $4.3 million and $11.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Interest and Other Financing Fees
Interest and other financing fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were attributable to borrowings under the February 2019 Credit Facility, the August 2025 Notes, the November Notes, the February Notes, the November 2026 Notes, the February 2029 Notes and the September 2028 Notes (each as defined below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”). Interest and other financing fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were attributable to borrowings under the February 2019 Credit Facility, the August 2025 Notes, the November Notes, the February Notes, the November 2026 Notes and the February 2029 Notes. The decrease in interest and other financing fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily attributed to a lower weighted average interest rate on the February 2019 Credit Facility, partially offset by higher weighted average borrowings outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on the February 2019 Credit Facility for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 5.2% and 5.7%, respectively, as compared to 6.6% and 6.9%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the weighted average borrowings outstanding on the February 2019 Credit Facility were $541.0 million and $503.9 million, respectively, as compared to $320.7 million and $428.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Base Management Fee
Under the terms of the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement, we pay Barings a base management fee (the “Base Management Fee”), quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. The Base Management Fee is calculated based on the average value of our gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters prior to the quarter for which such fees are being calculated. Base Management Fees for any partial month or quarter are appropriately pro-rated. See “Note 2. Agreements and Related Party Transactions” to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement and the fee arrangements thereunder. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the amount of Base Management Fees incurred were approximately $8.4 million and $24.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the amount of Base Management Fees incurred were approximately $8.0 million and $24.5 million, respectively.
The increase in the Base Management Fees for the three months ended September 30, 2025 versus the three months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily related to the average value of gross assets increasing from $2,574.8 million as of the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters prior to September 30, 2024 to $2,692.9 million as of the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters prior to September 30, 2025. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Base Management Fee rate was 1.250%.
Incentive Fee
Under the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement, we pay Barings an incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”). A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on our income (the “Income-Based Fee”) and a portion is based on our capital gains (the “Capital Gains Fee”). The Income-Based Fee is determined and paid quarterly in arrears based on the amount by which (x) the aggregate pre-incentive fee net investment income in respect of the current calendar quarter and the eleven preceding calendar quarters beginning with the calendar quarter that commences on or after January 1, 2021, as the case may be (or the appropriate portion thereof in the case of any of our first eleven calendar quarters that commences on or after January 1, 2021) exceeds (y) the hurdle amount as calculated for the same period. See “Note 2. Agreements and Related Party Transactions” to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of the Barings BDC Advisory Agreement and the fee arrangements thereunder. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the amount of Income-Based Fees incurred were $5.6 million and $24.5 million, respectively, as compared to $6.6 million and $15.9 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Income-Based Fee is subject to a cap (the “Incentive Fee Cap”). The Incentive Fee
115
Cap in any quarter is an amount equal to (a) 20% of the Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return during the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters less (b) the aggregate Income-Based Fees that were paid to the Adviser in the preceding eleven calendar quarters (or portion thereof) comprising the relevant Trailing Twelve Quarters. See “Note 2. Agreements and Related Party Transactions” to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of the Incentive Fee Cap.
The Incentive Fee for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, was limited to the Incentive Fee Cap, however, the Incentive Fee Cap in 2025 was lower than the Incentive Fee Cap in 2024 as a result of an increase in Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return partially offset by a larger increase in incentive fees paid in the trailing twelve quarters.
The increase in the Incentive Fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, relates to a higher Incentive Fee Cap for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as a result of an increase in Cumulative Pre-Incentive Fee Net Return partially offset by a smaller increase in incentive fees paid in the trailing twelve quarters (or portion thereof).
General and Administrative Expenses
We entered into the Administration Agreement with Barings in August 2018. Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, Barings performs (or oversees, or arranges for, the performance of) the administrative services necessary for our operations. We reimburse Barings for the costs and expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations and providing personnel and facilities under the Administration Agreement in an amount to be negotiated and mutually agreed to by us and Barings quarterly in arrears; provided that the agreed-upon quarterly expense amount will not exceed the amount of expenses that would otherwise be reimbursable by us under the Administration Agreement for the applicable quarterly period, and Barings will not be entitled to the recoupment of any amounts in excess of the agreed-upon quarterly expense amount. See “Note 2. Agreements and Related Party Transactions” to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Administration Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the amount of administration expenses incurred and invoiced by Barings for expenses was approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 the amount of administration expenses incurred and invoiced by Barings for expenses was approximately $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. In addition to expenses incurred under the Administration Agreement, general and administrative expenses include fees payable to the members of our Board for their service on the Board, directors’ and officers’ insurance costs, as well as legal and accounting expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our current cash and foreign currencies on hand, our available borrowing capacity under the February 2019 Credit Facility (as defined below under “Financing Transactions”) and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate to meet our cash needs for our daily operations for at least the next twelve months. This “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section should be read in conjunction with the notes to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cash Flows
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we experienced a net decrease in cash in the amount of $8.1 million. During that period, our operating activities used $44.0 million in cash, consisting primarily of purchases of portfolio investments of $561.6 million, partially offset by proceeds from sales or repayments of portfolio investments totaling $425.4 million. In addition, our financing activities provided net cash of $35.9 million, consisting of net proceeds from notes payable of $294.8 million, partially offset by net repayments of the February 2019 Credit Facility of $108.7 million, dividends paid in the amount of $97.9 million, repayment of the $50.0 million August 2025 Notes and share repurchases of $2.3 million. As of September 30, 2025, we had $83.2 million of cash and foreign currencies on hand, including $12.9 million of restricted cash.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we experienced a net decrease in cash in the amount of $4.5 million. During that period, our operating activities provided $167.3 million in cash, with proceeds from sales or repayments of portfolio investments totaling $422.9 million and other cash collections from investments exceeding purchases of portfolio investments of $346.0 million. In addition, our financing activities used net cash of $171.9 million, consisting of net repayments under the February 2019 Credit Facility of $377.1 million, dividends paid in the amount of $82.6 million and share repurchases of $5.0 million, partially offset by net proceeds of $292.8 million from the issuance of the February 2029 Notes. As of September 30, 2024, we had $66.0 million of cash and foreign currencies on hand, including $3.2 million of restricted cash.
Financing Transactions
February 2019 Credit Facility
On February 21, 2019, we entered into a senior secured credit facility with ING Capital LLC (“ING”), as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (as amended, restated and otherwise modified from time to time, the “February 2019 Credit Facility”). The initial commitments under the February 2019 Credit Facility totaled $800.0 million. Effective on November 4, 2021, we increased aggregate commitments under the February 2019 Credit Facility to $875.0 million from $800.0 million pursuant to the accordion feature under the February 2019 Credit Facility, which allowed for an increase in the total commitments to an aggregate of $1.2 billion subject to certain conditions and satisfaction of specified financial covenants. Effective on February 25, 2022, we increased aggregate commitments under the February 2019 Credit Facility to $965.0 million from $875.0 million pursuant to the accordion feature under the February 2019 Credit Facility, which allowed for an increase in the total commitments increased to $1.5 billion from $1.2 billion subject to certain conditions and the satisfaction of specified financial covenants. Effective on April 1, 2022, we increased the aggregate commitments under the February 2019 Credit Facility to $1.1 billion from $965.0 million pursuant to the accordion feature under the February 2019 Credit Facility, which allowed for an increase in the total commitments to an aggregate of $1.5 billion subject to certain conditions and the satisfaction of specified financial covenants. We can borrow foreign currencies directly under the February 2019 Credit Facility. The February 2019 Credit Facility, which is structured as a revolving credit facility, is secured primarily by a material portion of our assets and guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. Following the termination on June 30, 2020, of Barings BDC Senior Funding I, LLC’s, our indirect wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company (“BSF”), credit facility entered into in August 2018 with Bank of America, N.A., BSF became a subsidiary guarantor whose assets secure the February 2019
118
Credit Facility. Effective May 9, 2023, the revolving period of the February 2019 Credit Facility was extended to February 21, 2025, followed by a one-year repayment period, and the maturity date was extended to February 21, 2026. Effective November 5, 2024 we amended the February 2019 Credit Facility to, among other things, (a) extend the revolving period from February 21, 2025 to November 5, 2028; (b) extend the stated maturity date from February 21, 2026 to November 5, 2029; (c) adjust the interest rate charged on the February 2019 Credit Facility from an applicable spread of either the term SOFR plus 2.25% (or 2.00% for so long as we maintain an investment grade credit rating) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for borrowings with an interest period of one month, 0.15% for borrowings with an interest period of three months, or 0.25% for borrowings with an interest period of six months to an applicable spread of 1.875% plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%; and (d) reduce the total commitments under the facility from $1,065 million to $825 million, of which $100 million has been reallocated from revolving commitments to term loan commitments. Effective September 25, 2025, we repaid the $100.0 million term loan commitment, reducing the total commitments under the February 2019 Credit Facility to $725.0 million from $825.0 million.
Borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars under the February 2019 Credit Facility bear interest, subject to our election, on a per annum basis equal to (i) the alternate base rate plus 0.875% or (ii) the term SOFR plus an applicable spread of 1.875% plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. Borrowings denominated in certain foreign currencies, other than Australian dollars, bear interest on a per annum basis equal to the applicable currency rate for the foreign currency as defined in the credit agreement plus 1.875% or for borrowings denominated in Australian dollars, 1.875% plus the applicable Australian benchmark rate, which is defined as the applicable Australian dollar Screen Rate plus 0.20%. The alternate base rate is equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (iii) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 0.5%, (iv) one-month term SOFR plus 1.0% plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and (v) 1.0%.
In addition, we pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on undrawn amounts of the February 2019 Credit Facility. In connection with entering into the February 2019 Credit Facility, we incurred financing fees of approximately $6.4 million, which will be amortized over the life of the February 2019 Credit Facility. In connection with all amendments to the February 2019 Credit Facility, we incurred financing fees of approximately $10.7 million, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the February 2019 Credit Facility.
The fair values of the borrowings outstanding under the February 2019 Credit Facility are based on a market yield approach and current interest rates, which are Level 3 inputs to the market yield model. As of September 30, 2025, the total fair value of the borrowings outstanding under the February 2019 Credit Facility was $354.0 million. See “Note 5. Borrowings — February 2019 Credit Facility” to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the February 2019 Credit Facility.
August 2025 Notes
On August 3, 2020, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “August 2020 NPA”) with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company governing the issuance of (1) $
50.0
million in aggregate principal amount of Series A senior unsecured notes due August 2025 (the “Series A Notes due 2025”) with a fixed interest rate of 4.66% per year, and (2) up to $
50.0
million in aggregate principal amount of additional senior unsecured notes due August 2025 with a fixed interest rate per year to be determined (the “Additional Notes” and, collectively with the Series A Notes due 2025, the “August 2025 Notes”), in each case, to qualified institutional investors in a private placement. An aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million of the Series A Notes due 2025 were issued on September 24, 2020 and an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million of the Series A Notes due 2025 were issued on September 29, 2020, both of which matured on August 4, 2025. Interest on the August 2025 Notes was due semiannually in March and September, beginning in March 2021. In addition, we were obligated to offer to repay the August 2025 Notes at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of prepayment) if certain change in control events occur.
Subject to the terms of the August 2020 NPA, we could have redeemed the August 2025 Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option at par plus accrued interest to the prepayment date and, if redeemed on or before November 3, 2024, a make-whole premium.
The August 2025 Notes were guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries, and were our general unsecured obligations that ranked pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by us.
119
Our permitted issuance period for the Additional Notes under the August 2020 NPA expired on February 3, 2022, prior to which date we issued no Additional Notes.
The August 2020 NPA contained certain representations and warranties, and various covenants and reporting requirements customary for senior unsecured notes issued in a private placement, including, without limitation, affirmative and negative covenants such as information reporting, maintenance of our status as a BDC within the meaning of the 1940 Act, certain restrictions with respect to transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes, changes of line of business, permitted liens, investments and restricted payments, minimum shareholders’ equity, maximum net debt to equity ratio and minimum asset coverage ratio. The August 2020 NPA also contained customary events of default with customary cure and notice periods, including, without limitation, nonpayment, incorrect representation in any material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default under our other indebtedness or that of our subsidiary guarantors, certain judgements and orders, and certain events of bankruptcy. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the holders of at least 66-2/3% in principal amount of the August 2025 Notes at the time outstanding may have declared all August 2025 Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.
The August 2025 Notes were offered in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The August 2025 Notes were not registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and could not have been offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as applicable.
On August 4, 2025, the August 2025 Notes matured in accordance with the terms of the August 2020 NPA and the Company repaid in full the par amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of the outstanding Series D Notes and the Series E Notes was $79.4 million and $67.9 million, respectively. The fair value determinations of the Series D Notes and Series E Notes were based on a market yield approach and current interest rates, which are Level 3 inputs to the market yield model.
121
November 2026 Notes
On November 23, 2021, we entered into an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”) and a First Supplemental Indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “November 2026 Notes Indenture”) with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor-in-interest to U.S. Bank National Association, the “Trustee”). The First Supplemental Indenture relates to our issuance of $
350.0
million aggregate principal amount of our 3.300% notes due 2026 (the “November 2026 Notes”).
The November 2026 Notes will mature on November 23, 2026 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option at any time or from time to time at the redemption prices set forth in the November 2026 Notes Indenture. The November 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.300% per year payable semi-annually on May 23 and November 23 of each year, commencing on May 23, 2022. The November 2026 Notes are our general unsecured obligations that rank senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the November 2026 Notes, rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by us, rank effectively junior to any of our secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and rank structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.
The November 2026 Notes Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring us to comply with the asset coverage requirements of Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Sections 61(a)(1) and (2) of the 1940 Act, whether or not we are subject to those requirements, and to provide financial information to the holders of the November 2026 Notes and the Trustee if we are no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the November 2026 Notes Indenture. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under the November 2026 Notes Indenture.
In addition, on the occurrence of a “change of control repurchase event,” as defined in the November 2026 Notes Indenture, we will generally be required to make an offer to purchase the outstanding November 2026 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such November 2026 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.
The November 2026 Notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Concurrent with the closing of November 2026 Notes offering, we entered into a registration rights agreement for the benefit of the purchasers of the November 2026 Notes. Pursuant to the terms of this registration rights agreement, we filed a registration statement on Form N-14 with the SEC, which was subsequently declared effective, to permit electing holders of the November 2026 Notes to exchange all of their outstanding restricted November 2026 Notes for an equal aggregate principal amount of new November 2026 Notes (the “Exchange Notes”). The Exchange Notes have terms substantially identical to the terms of the November 2026 Notes, except that the Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act, and certain transfer restrictions, registration rights, and additional interest provisions relating to the November 2026 Notes do not apply to the Exchange Notes.
February 2029 Notes
On February 7, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement among us, Barings LLC, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., and Fifth Third Securities, Inc., in connection with the issuance and sale of $
300.0
million in aggregate principal amount of our 7.000% senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2029 (the “February 2029 Notes”). The February 2029 Notes offering closed on February 12, 2024 and the February 2029 Notes were issued under a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated February 12, 2024, between us and the Trustee, to the Base Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “February 2029 Notes Indenture”).
The February 2029 Notes will mature on February 15, 2029 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option at any time or from time to time at the redemption prices set forth in the February 2029 Notes Indenture. The February 2029 Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.000% per year payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on August 15, 2024. The February 2029 Notes are general unsecured obligations of ours that rank senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the February 2029 Notes, rank pari passu with all existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by us, rank effectively junior to any of our secured indebtedness (including unsecured indebtedness that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing
122
such indebtedness, and rank structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.
The February 2029 Notes Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring us to comply with the asset coverage requirements of Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) and (2) of the 1940 Act, whether or not we are subject to those requirements (but giving effect to exemptive relief granted to us by the SEC), and to provide financial information to the holders of the February 2029 Notes and the Trustee if we are no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the February 2029 Notes Indenture. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under the February 2029 Notes Indenture.
In addition, on the occurrence of a “change of control repurchase event,” as defined in the February 2029 Notes Indenture, we may be required by the holders of the February 2029 Notes to make an offer to purchase the outstanding February 2029 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such February 2029 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.
The net proceeds received by us in connection with the February 2029 Notes offering were approximately $292.9 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of the outstanding February 2029 Notes was $303.9 million. The fair value determinations of the February 2029 Notes were based on a market yield approach and current interest rates, which are Level 3 inputs to the market yield model.
In connection with the offering of the February 2029 Notes, on February 12, 2024, we entered into a $300.0 million notional value interest rate swap. We receive a fixed rate interest at 7.00% paid semi-annually and pay semi-annually based on a compounded daily rate of SOFR plus 3.14750%. The swap transaction matures on February 15, 2029. The interest expense related to the February 2029 Notes will be equally offset by proceeds received from the interest rate swap. The swap adjusted interest expense is included as a component of interest and other financing fees in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2025, the interest rate swap had a fair value of $3.9 million. Depending on the nature of the balance at period end, the fair value of the interest rate swap is either included as a component of derivative assets or derivative liabilities on our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap is offset by the change in fair value of the February 2029 Notes. The fair value of the interest rate swap is based on unadjusted prices from independent pricing services and independent indicative broker quotes, which are Level 2 inputs.
September 2028 Notes
On September 8, 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement among us, Barings LLC, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, ING Financial Markets LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., in connection with the issuance and sale of $

The September 2028 Notes will mature on September 15, 2028 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at our option at any time or from time to time prior to August 15, 2028 at par value plus a “make-whole” premium calculated in accordance with the terms under “optional redemption” in the September 2028 Notes Indenture and at par value on August 15, 2028 or thereafter. The September 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.200% per year payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2026.

Share Repurchase Programs
On February 22, 2024, our Board authorized a 12-month share repurchase program (the “Prior Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Prior Share Repurchase Program, we were able to repurchase, during the 12-month period commencing on March 1, 2024, up to $30.0 million in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the then-current net asset value (“NAV”) per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases was determined by us, at our discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, our stock price, applicable legal, contractual and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Prior Share Repurchase Program terminated on March 1, 2025. The Prior Share Repurchase Program did not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares, and we could not assure stockholders that any shares would be repurchased under the Prior Share Repurchase Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we did not repurchase any shares pursuant to the Prior Share Repurchase Program.
On February 20, 2025, our Board authorized a new 12-month share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase, during the 12-month period commencing on March 1, 2025, up to $30.0 million in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the then-current NAV per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by us, in our discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, our stock price, applicable legal, contractual and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Share Repurchase Program is expected to be in effect until March 1, 2026, unless extended or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the Board has been expended. The Share Repurchase Program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares, and we cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased a total of 250,000 shares of common stock in the open market under the Share Repurchase Program at an average price of $9.35 per share, including brokerage commissions.
Distributions to Stockholders
We intend to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when we declare a dividend, stockholders who have not opted out of the DRIP will have their dividends automatically reinvested in shares of our common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends.
We have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and intend to make the required distributions to our stockholders as specified therein.
124
In order to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC and to obtain RIC tax benefits, we must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then we are generally required to pay income taxes only on the portion of our taxable income and gains we do not distribute (actually or constructively) and certain built-in gains. We have historically met our minimum distribution requirements and continually monitor our distribution requirements with the goal of ensuring compliance with the Code. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit the payment of any level of cash distributions and our ability to make distributions will be limited by the asset coverage requirement and related provisions under the 1940 Act and contained in any applicable indenture or financing agreement and related supplements. In addition, in order to satisfy the annual distribution requirement applicable to RICs, we may declare a significant portion of our dividends in shares of our common stock instead of in cash. As long as a portion of such dividend is paid in cash (which portion may be as low as 20% of such dividend under published guidance from the Internal Revenue Service) and certain requirements are met, the entire distribution will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a stockholder generally would be subject to tax on 100% of the fair market value of the dividend on the date the dividend is received by the stockholder in the same manner as a cash dividend, even though most of the dividend was paid in shares of our common stock.
The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require us to distribute to our stockholders each year at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, or ICTI, as defined in the Code. Depending on the level of ICTI and net capital gain, if any, earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward ICTI in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such excess. Any such carryover ICTI must be distributed before the end of the next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such ICTI.
ICTI generally differs from net investment income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. We may be required to recognize ICTI in certain circumstances in which we do not receive cash. For example, if we hold debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (“OID”) (such as debt instruments issued with warrants), we must include in ICTI each year a portion of the OID that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by us in the same taxable year. We may also have to include in ICTI other amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as (i) PIK interest income and (ii) interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. Because any OID or other amounts accrued will be included in our ICTI for the year of accrual, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, even though we will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. ICTI also excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.
Recent Developments
Subsequent to September 30, 2025, we
made approximately $73.5 million of new commitments, of which $41.1 million closed and funded. The $41.1 million of investments consists of $41.0 million of first lien senior secured debt investments and $0.1 million of equity investments. The weighted average yield of the debt investments was 9.1%. In addition, we funded $21.9 million of previously committed revolvers and delayed draw term loans.
On October 6, 2025, the Board declared a quarterly distribution of $0.26 per share payable on December 10, 2025 to holders of record as of December 3, 2025.
On November 4, 2025, the Series B Notes matured in accordance with the terms of the November 2020 NPA and we repaid in full the par amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of our unaudited financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods covered by such financial statements. We have identified investment valuation and revenue recognition as our most critical accounting estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion of our critical accounting policies follows.

Valuation of Investments
The Adviser conducts the valuation of our investments, upon which our NAV is primarily based, in accordance with its valuation policy, as well as established and documented processes and methodologies for determining the fair values of portfolio company investments on a recurring (at least quarterly) basis in accordance with the 1940 Act and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(“ASC Topic 820”). Our current valuation policy and processes were established by the Adviser and were approved by the Board.
As of September 30, 2025, our investment portfolio, valued at fair value in accordance with the Board-approved valuation policies, represented approximately 217% of our total net assets, as compared to approximately 206% of our total net assets as of December 31, 2024.
Under ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between a willing buyer and a willing seller at the measurement date. For our portfolio securities, fair value is generally the amount that we might reasonably expect to receive upon the current sale of the security. The fair value measurement assumes that the sale occurs in the principal market for the security, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the security. If no market for the security exists or if we do not have access to the principal market, the security should be valued based on the sale occurring in a hypothetical market.
Under ASC Topic 820, there are three levels of valuation inputs, as follows:
Level 1 Inputs
– include quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs
– include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 Inputs
– include inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument is categorized within the ASC Topic 820 valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input to the valuation process that is significant to the fair value measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Therefore, unrealized appreciation and depreciation related to such investments categorized as Level 3 investments within the tables in the notes to our consolidated financial statements may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (Level 3).
Our investment portfolio includes certain debt and equity instruments of privately held companies for which quoted prices or other observable inputs falling within the categories of Level 1 and Level 2 are generally not available. In such cases, the Adviser determines the fair value of our investments in good faith primarily using Level 3 inputs. In certain cases, quoted prices or other observable inputs exist, and if so, the Adviser assesses the appropriateness of the use of these third-party quotes in determining fair value based on (i) its understanding of the level of actual transactions used by the broker to develop the quote and whether the quote was an indicative price or binding offer and (ii) the depth and consistency of broker quotes and the correlation of changes in broker quotes with underlying performance of the portfolio company.
There is no single approach for determining fair value in good faith, as fair value depends upon the specific circumstances of each individual investment. The recorded fair values of our Level 3 investments may differ significantly from fair values that would have been used had an active market for the securities existed. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.
Investment Valuation Process
The Board must determine fair value in good faith for any or all of our investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Board has designated the Adviser as valuation designee to perform the fair value determinations relating to the value of the assets held by us for which market quotations are not readily available. Barings has established a pricing committee that is, subject to the oversight of the Board, responsible for the approval, implementation and oversight of the processes and methodologies that relate to the pricing and valuation of assets we hold. Barings uses independent third-party providers to price the portfolio, but in the event an acceptable price cannot be obtained from an approved external source, Barings will utilize alternative methods in accordance with internal pricing procedures established by Barings’ pricing committee.
126
At least annually, Barings conducts reviews of the primary pricing vendors to validate that the inputs used in the vendors’ pricing process are deemed to be market observable. While Barings is not provided access to proprietary models of the vendors, the reviews have included on-site walkthroughs of the pricing process, methodologies and control procedures for each asset class and level for which prices are provided. The review also includes an examination of the underlying inputs and assumptions for a sample of individual securities across asset classes, credit rating levels and various durations, a process Barings continues to perform annually. In addition, the pricing vendors have an established challenge process in place for all security valuations, which facilitates identification and resolution of prices that fall outside expected ranges. Barings believes that the prices received from the pricing vendors are representative of prices that would be received to sell the assets at the measurement date (i.e., exit prices).
Our money market fund investments are generally valued using Level 1 inputs and our equity investments listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued using Level 1 inputs, using the last quoted sale price of that day. Our syndicated senior secured loans and structured product investments are generally valued using Level 2 inputs, which are generally valued at the bid quotation obtained from dealers in loans by an independent pricing service. Our middle-market, private debt and equity investments are generally valued using Level 3 inputs.
Independent Valuation
The fair value of loans and equity investments that are not syndicated or for which market quotations are not readily available, including middle-market loans, are generally submitted to independent providers to perform an independent valuation on those loans and equity investments as of the end of each quarter. Such loans and equity investments are initially held at cost, as that is a reasonable approximation of fair value on the acquisition date, and monitored for material changes that could affect the valuation (for example, changes in interest rates or the credit quality of the borrower). At the quarter end following that of the initial acquisition, such loans and equity investments are generally sent to a valuation provider which will determine the fair value of each investment. The independent valuation providers apply various methods (synthetic rating analysis, discounting cash flows, and re-underwriting analysis) to establish the rate of return a market participant would require (the “discount rate”) as of the valuation date, given market conditions, prevailing lending standards and the perceived credit quality of the issuer. Future expected cash flows for each investment are discounted back to present value using these discount rates in the discounted cash flow analysis. A range of values will be provided by the valuation provider and Barings will determine the point within that range that it will use. If the Barings pricing committee disagrees with the price range provided, it may make a fair value recommendation to Barings that is outside of the range provided by the independent valuation provider and the reasons therefore. In certain instances, we may determine that it is not cost-effective, and as a result is not in the stockholders’ best interests, to request an independent valuation firm to perform an independent valuation on certain investments. Such instances include, but are not limited to, situations where the fair value of the investment in the portfolio company is determined to be insignificant relative to the total investment portfolio.
Valuation Inputs
The Adviser’s valuation techniques are based upon both observable and unobservable pricing inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Adviser’s market assumptions. The Adviser’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. An independent pricing service provider is the preferred source of pricing a loan, however, to the extent the independent pricing service provider price is unavailable or not relevant and reliable, the Adviser will utilize alternative approaches such as broker quotes or manual prices. The Adviser attempts to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the security.
Valuation of Investments in Jocassee Partners LLC, Thompson Rivers LLC, Waccamaw River LLC and Sierra Loan Strategy JV I LLC
As Jocassee Partners LLC, Thompson Rivers LLC, Waccamaw River LLC and Sierra Loan Strategy JV I LLC are investment companies with no readily determinable fair values, the Adviser estimates the fair value of our investments in these entities using the NAV of each company and our ownership percentage as a practical expedient. The NAV is determined in accordance with the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies.
127
Revenue Recognition
Interest and Dividend Income
Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. The cessation of recognition of such interest will negatively impact the reported fair value of the investment. We write off any previously accrued and uncollected interest when it is determined that interest is no longer considered collectible.
Interest income from investments in the equity class of a collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) security (typically subordinated notes) is recorded based upon an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed cash flows in accordance with ASC Topic 325-40,
Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets
. We monitor the expected cash flows from these investments, including the expected residual payments, and the effective yield is determined and updated periodically. Any difference between the cash distribution received and the amount calculated pursuant to the effective interest method is recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of such investments.
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
We may have to include interest income in our ICTI, including OID income, from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. As a result, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements to maintain our RIC tax treatment, even though we will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. Additionally, any loss recognized by us for U.S. federal income tax purposes on previously accrued interest income will be treated as a capital loss.
Fee and Other Income
Origination, facility, commitment, consent and other advance fees received in connection with the origination of a loan, or Loan Origination Fees, are recorded as deferred income and recognized as investment income over the term of the loan. Upon prepayment of a loan, any unamortized Loan Origination Fees are recorded as investment income. In the general course of our business, we receive certain fees from portfolio companies, which are non-recurring in nature. Such fees include loan prepayment penalties, structuring fees, covenant waiver fees and loan amendment fees, and are recorded as investment income when earned. Other income includes royalty income received in connection with revenue participation rights which is recorded on an accrual basis in accordance with revenue participation right agreements and recognized as investment income over the term of the rights.

Payment-in-Kind (PIK) Income
We currently hold, and expect to hold in the future, some loans in our portfolio that contain PIK interest provisions. PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is periodically added to the principal balance of the loan, rather than being paid to us in cash, and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of PIK interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment.
We have certain preferred equity securities in our portfolio that contain a PIK dividend provision that are accrued and recorded as dividend income at the contractual rates specified in each applicable agreement. The accrued PIK and non-cash dividends are capitalized to the cost basis of the preferred equity security and are generally collected when redeemed by the portfolio company.

PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income at the time of recognition, is included in our taxable income and therefore affects the amount we are required to distribute to our stockholders to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even though we have not yet collected the cash. Generally, when current cash interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing PIK interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. We write off any previously accrued and uncollected PIK interest when it is determined that the PIK interest is no longer collectible.
We may have to include in our ICTI, PIK interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. As a result, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy
129
the minimum distribution requirements, even though we will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount.
Unused Commitments
In the normal course of business, we are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, consisting primarily of unused commitments to extend financing to our portfolio companies. Since commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we believed that we had adequate financial resources to satisfy our unfunded commitments. The balances of unused commitments to extend financing as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

In the normal course of business, we guarantee certain obligations in connection with our portfolio companies (in particular, certain controlled portfolio companies). Under these guarantee arrangements, payments may be required to be made to third parties if such guarantees are called upon or if the portfolio companies were to default on their related obligations, as applicable. As of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had guaranteed €9.9 million ($11.6 million U.S. dollars and $10.3 million U.S. dollars, respectively) relating to credit facilities among Erste Bank and MVC Automotive Group Gmbh, or MVC Auto, that mature in December 2025. We would be required to make payments to Erste Bank if MVC Auto were to default on their related payment obligations. None of the credit facility guarantees are recorded as a liability on our Unaudited and Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. As such, the credit facility liabilities are considered in the valuation of our investments in MVC Auto. The guarantees denominated in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars based on the spot rate at the relevant balance sheet date.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are subject to market risk. Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. The fair value of securities held by us may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies we invest in; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; global pandemics; legislative reform; local, regional, national or global political, social or economic instability; and interest rate fluctuations.
In addition, we are subject to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing intervals between our assets and liabilities and the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flows. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest earning assets and our interest expense incurred in connection with our interest bearing debt and liabilities. Changes in interest rates can also affect, among other things, our ability to acquire and originate loans and securities and the value of our investment portfolio. Our net investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including EURIBOR, BBSY, STIBOR, CORRA, SOFR, SONIA, SARON, NIBOR and BKBM. Our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks. We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk and determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates. We currently, and may in the future, hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using hedging instruments such as additional interest rate swaps, futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of changes in interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments.
Following a campaign by the U.S. Federal Reserve of raising interest rates to address significant and persistent inflation in order to slow economic growth and reduce price pressure, in September 2024, December 2024, September 2025 and October 2025, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced benchmark rate cuts. A prolonged reduction in interest rates will reduce our gross investment income and could result in a decrease in our net investment income if such decreases in SOFR are not offset by a corresponding increase in the spread over SOFR that we earn on any portfolio investments, a decrease in in our operating expenses, including with respect to our income incentive fee, or a decrease in the interest rate of our floating interest rate liabilities tied to SOFR.
As of September 30, 2025, approximately $1,977.0 million (principal amount) of our debt portfolio investments bore interest at variable rates, which generally are SOFR-based (or based on an equivalent applicable currency rate), and many of which are subject to certain floors. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $954.0 million (principal amount) of our borrowings bore interest at variable rates (approximately 58.6% of our total borrowings as of September 30, 2025) under the February 2019 Credit Facility, the February 2029 Notes and the September 2028 Notes. See “Note 5. Borrowings” to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for information about the variable interest rates and spreads applicable to borrowings under the February 2019 Credit Facility, the February 2029 Notes and the September 2028 Notes.
Based on our September 30, 2025 Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet, the following table shows the annual impact on net income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates on our debt investments and borrowings (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

We may also have exposure to foreign currencies related to certain investments. Such investments are translated into U.S. dollars based on the spot rate at the relevant balance sheet date, exposing us to movements in the exchange rate. In order to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates, we generally borrow in local foreign currencies under the February 2019 Credit Facility to finance such investments. As of September 30, 2025, we had borrowings under the February 2019 Credit

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings.
Neither we, the Adviser, nor our subsidiaries are currently subject to any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our respective businesses. We, the Adviser, and our subsidiaries may from time to time, however, be involved in litigation arising out of operations in the normal course of business or otherwise, including in connection with strategic transactions. Furthermore, third parties may seek to impose liability on us in connection with the activities of our portfolio companies. While the outcome of any current legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, we do not expect any current matters will materially affect our financial condition or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance whether any pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations in any future reporting period.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
You should carefully consider the risks referenced below and all other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our interim financial statements and the related notes thereto, before making a decision to transact in our securities. The risks and uncertainties referenced herein are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or operating results, as well as the market price of our securities.
There have been no material changes during the three months ended September 30, 2025 to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which you should carefully consider before transacting in our securities. If any of such risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, in connection with our DRIP for our common stockholders, we directed the plan administrator to purchase 45,641 shares of our common stock for an aggregate of $430,577 in the open market in order to satisfy our obligations to deliver shares of common stock to our stockholders with respect to our dividend declared on August 7, 2025.
On February 20, 2025, the Board authorized a new 12-month Share Repurchase Program. Under the Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase, during the 12-month period commencing on March 1, 2025, up to $30.0 million in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the then-current NAV per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by us, in our discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, our stock price, applicable legal, contractual and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Share Repurchase Program is expected to be in effect until March 1, 2026, unless extended or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the Board has been expended. The Share Repurchase Program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares, and we cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in the open market under the Share Repurchase Program.
