Based upon this evaluation, management has determined there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements. Management does note the following: On January 1, 2026, the Company’s office lease for Ovation, a fully owned subsidiary of ML Management, was transferred to BC Partners. Refer to Note 17. Other assets and Accrued expenses and other liabilities for details on the right of use asset and lease liabilities associated with this operating lease. On January 26, 2026, the Company closed its debt offering of $40 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (“the Notes”). The Notes will mature on January 31, 2031, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company’s option on or after January 31, 2028. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.00% per year, payable quarterly, with the first interest payment occurring on April 30, 2026. On February 2, 2026, the Company’s offer to purchase for cash up to $15 million of its shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, at a fixed price of $9.43 per share (the “Tender Offer”) expired. The Tender Offer was oversubscribed. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and based on the final count by Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, the Depositary for the Offer, the Company accepted for payment an aggregate 1,590,601 shares of the Company’s common stock, adjusted to avoid the purchase of fractional shares, at a purchase price of $9.43 per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $15 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer. The Company accepted the shares on a pro rata basis. The shares purchased represent approximately 12% of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding as of February 2, 2026. On February 23, 2026, the Company announced the board of directors’ approval of a $10.0 million share repurchase program through December 31, 2027 (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program, repurchases may be made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with applicable securities laws and subject to market conditions and other factors. The size and timing of any repurchases will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on factors including, but not limited to, prevailing stock prices, general economic and market conditions, along with other considerations. The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific amount of Common Stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. On February 24, 2026, BC Partners Lending Corporation (“BCPL”) and Alternative Credit Income Fund (“ACIF”) announced that they have entered into an agreement under which ACIF will merge with and into BCPL (the “Proposed Merger”), subject to approval by ACIF shareholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions. Given the Proposed Merger is still subject to approval, there is no impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements. On March 5, 2026, the Board declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.03 per common share to be paid on April 15, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 30, 2026. On March 18, 2026, Opportunistic Credit Interval Fund (“OCIF”), a fund managed by ML Management, entered into definitive agreements to acquire the assets of Yieldstreet Alternative Income Fund (“YS AIF”) (the “Asset Acquisition”). In connection with the Asset Acquisition, ML Management entered into a Transaction Services Agreement with Willow Asset Management LLC (“Willow”), the advisor of YS AIF, pursuant to which Willow will provide access to books and records of YS AIF, certain transition services and licenses in exchange for aggregate consideration of up to $5 million, payable in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory and YS AIF shareholder approvals. Given the transaction is still subject to approvals, there is no impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
