| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide a variety of general indemnifications. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements could involve future claims that may be made against the Company. Currently, no such claims exist or are expected to arise and, accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.
The Company’s investment portfolio may contain debt investments which are in the form of lines of credit or delayed draw commitments, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with underlying loan agreements.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had unfunded delayed draw term loans, revolvers and preferred equity in the aggregate principal amount of $760.7 million and $895.9 million, respectively.
The Adviser agreed to bear all of the Company’s expenses, including organization and offering expenses, through February 3, 2022, the date on which the Company broke escrow for the initial offering of its Common Shares, on which date the Company became obligated to reimburse the Adviser for such advanced expenses upon breaking escrow for the offering and the Adviser subsequently requested reimbursement of these expenses and was paid pursuant to the Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.
From time to time, the Company may become a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of its business. As of December 31, 2023, management is not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation.
Warehousing Transactions
Beginning August 17, 2021, the Company entered into multiple sale and purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with Macquarie US Trading LLC and Macquarie Bank Limited (together, the “Financing Provider”), whereby the Company agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase certain assets from unaffiliated parties. The transactions under the Purchase Agreements related primarily to newly originated, privately negotiated senior secured term loans to middle market companies consistent with the Company’s investment objective and strategies (the “Warehousing Transactions”). The Warehousing Transactions were designed to assist the Company with deploying capital upon receipt of subscription proceeds. Under the Purchase Agreements, the Company had forward obligations to settle the purchase of certain investments (the “Warehouse Investments”) from the Financing Provider, each of whom was obligated to settle the sale of such investments subject to the following conditions: (a) that the Company had received subscriptions of at least $300 million; and (b) that the Board of the Company had approved the purchase of the specific Warehouse Investments (collectively, the “Warehouse Conditions”).
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Company could request that the Financing Provider acquire such Warehouse Investments as the Company may designate from time to time, which a Financing Provider could approve or reject in its sole and absolute discretion. Prior to any sale to the Company, the Warehouse Investments were owned and held solely for the account of the relevant Financing Provider. Until such time as the Company satisfied the Warehouse Conditions, which occurred on February 3, 2022, it had no obligation to purchase the Warehouse Investments nor be entitled to any benefits or subject to any obligations under the Purchase Agreements. On such date, the Company recognized $656.3 million of investments at principal ($106.9 million of which was unfunded) from the Financing Provider. Since February 3, 2022, the Company has not entered into any Purchase Agreement with the Financing Provider. Until such time the Company enters into additional Purchase Agreements, the Company will not incur any additional fees with respect to any Purchase Agreements. As of December 31, 2023, there are no forward obligations to settle the purchase of Portfolio Investments from the Financing Provider.
In consideration for the forward arrangement provided by the Financing Provider, the Company agreed to pay, subject to the satisfaction of the Warehouse Conditions, certain fees and expenses to the Financing Provider, including a financing fee with respect to the portion of the purchase amount that is funded equivalent to 2.75% to 2.95% per annum. For the year ended December 31, 2022, financing fees of $3.4 million, were paid to the Financing Provider, which are included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company’s obligations to the Financing Provider under the Purchase Agreements were guaranteed by an affiliate of HPS. Beginning October 14, 2021 and December 10, 2021, certain of the Company’s obligations to the Financing Provider under the Purchase Agreements were guaranteed by two non-affiliated entities.
In consideration of the two non-affiliated guarantors entering into the guarantees, the Company paid a fee based on the Net Carry with respect to each transaction to the respective guarantor of each investment. “Net Carry” means, an amount equal to the sum of (a) the interest (paid and accrued and unpaid) less (b) the financing fee paid to the Financing Provider plus (c) the net realized gains/losses on each investment.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, $1.1 million, of fees (the “backstop fees”) were paid to the two non-affiliated guarantors, which are included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2022, all of the income, expenses and mark-to-market gain/loss under all Purchase Agreements, in addition to other economic rights and obligations held by the Company, were recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
