SLR Business Credit | Note 15. SLR Business Credit SUNS acquired 100% of the equity interests of North Mill Capital LLC (“NMC”) on October 20, 2017. NMC is a leading asset-backed lending commercial finance company that provides senior secured asset-backed financings to U.S. based small-to-medium-sized businesses primarily in the manufacturing, services and distribution industries. SUNS invested approximately $51,000 to effect the transaction. Subsequently, SUNS contributed 1% of its equity interest in NMC to ESP SSC Corporation. Immediately thereafter, SUNS and ESP SSC Corporation contributed their equity interests to NorthMill LLC (“North Mill”). On May 1, 2018, North Mill merged with and into NMC, with NMC being the surviving company. SUNS and ESP SSC Corporation then owned 99% and 1% of the equity interests of NMC, respectively. The management team of NMC continues to lead NMC. On June 28, 2019, North Mill Holdco LLC (“NM Holdco”), a newly formed entity and ESP SSC Corporation acquired 100% of Summit Financial Resources, a Salt Lake City-based provider of asset-backed financing to small and medium-sized businesses. As part of this transaction, SUNS’s 99% interest in the equity of NMC was contributed to NM Holdco. This approximately $15,500 transaction was financed with borrowings on NMC’s credit facility. Effective February 25, 2021, NMC and its related companies are doing business as SLR Business Credit. On June 3, 2021, NMC acquired 100% of Fast Pay Partners LLC, a Los Angeles-based provider of asset-backed financing to digital media companies. The transaction purchase price of $66,671 was financed with equity from SUNS of $19,000 and borrowings on NMC’s credit facility of $47,671. SLRC acquired SLR Business Credit in connection with the Mergers on April 1, 2022. On September 27, 2024, NMC acquired an asset-based factoring portfolio and operations from Webster Bank, N.A.’s Commercial Services Division. The transaction purchase price of approximately $127,000 was funded with $30,000 of equity from the Company and the remaining $97,000 from borrowings on NMC’s credit facility. SLR Business Credit currently manages a highly diverse portfolio of directly-originated and underwritten senior-secured commitments. As of June 30, 2025, the portfolio totaled approximately $1,014,089 of commitments, of which, on a net basis, approximately $516,279 were funded, on total assets of $558,084. As of December 31, 2024, the portfolio totaled approximately $857,953 of commitments, of which $488,402 were funded, on total assets of $527,077. At June 30, 2025, the portfolio consisted of 192 issuers with an average balance of approximately $2,689 versus 188 issuers with an average balance of approximately $2,598 at December 31, 2024. NMC has a senior credit facility with a bank lending group for $325,307 which expires on November 13, 2025. Borrowings are secured by substantially all of NMC’s assets. NMC’s credit facility, which is non-recourse to us, had approximately $274,365 and $231,034 of borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, SLR Business Credit had net income of $2,931 and $2,324 respectively, on gross income of $13,224 and $10,437, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, SLR Business Credit had net income of $5,482 and $5,505 respectively, on gross income of $26,151 and $21,605, respectively. Due to timing and non-cash items, there may be material differences between GAAP net income and cash available for distributions. As such, and subject to fluctuations in SLR Business Credit’s funded commitments, the timing of originations, and the repayments of financings, the Company cannot guarantee that SLR Business Credit will be able to maintain consistent dividend payments to us. |
