  (a) Senior loans pay interest at rates that are periodically determined on the basis of a floating benchmark lending rate, often subject to a floor, plus a spread, unless otherwise indicated. The most popular benchmark lending rates are the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the rate that contributor banks in London charge each other for interbank deposits, and the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks (“Prime”). Both LIBOR and Prime were utilized as benchmark lending rates for the senior loans at September 30, 2019. The rates shown represent the contractual rates (benchmark rate or floor plus spread) in effect at period end. Senior loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy.
  (b) Fair Value Level 3 security. All remaining securities are categorized as Level 2.
  (c) All or a portion of this position has not settled as of September 30, 2019. The Fund will not accrue interest on its senior loans until the settlement date at which point LIBOR will be established.
  (d) Subsequent to September 30, 2019, Charming Charlie filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the related loans were put on non-accrual.
  (e) Security has been deemed illiquid and has been fair valued in good faith in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees.
  (f) The Fund held defaulted securities for which the income has been deemed uncollectible. As of September 30, 2019, the aggregate value of those securities was $289,893, representing 0.2% of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund no longer accrues income on securities once the income has been deemed uncollectible.
  (g) Security was purchased pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be resold subject to that rule except to qualified institutional buyers. Total fair value of Rule 144A securities amounts to $1,274,045 which represents approximately 1.0% of net assets as of September 30, 2019. Unless otherwise noted, 144A securities are deemed to be liquid.
  (h) Less than 0.05%.
  (i) Rate shown reflects the 7-day yield as of September 30, 2019.

THL Credit Senior Loan Fund  
Notes to the Schedule of Investments (unaudited) September 30, 2019

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

THL Credit Senior Loan Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund is an unincorporated business trust established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated July 30, 2013. The Fund was previously classified as a non-diversified investment company. The Fund commenced operations on September 20, 2013.

 

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide current income and preservation of capital primarily through investments in U.S. dollar-denominated senior secured corporate loans and notes (“Senior Loans”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets, defined as total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to borrowings for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings for investment purposes in Senior Loans. The Senior Loans in which the Fund will invest are fully collateralized, first lien corporate loans and notes. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in other securities, including high yield securities, notes, bonds, convertible securities, second lien loans and other subordinated debt and collateralized loan obligations. The Fund’s investments in high yield bonds, not including Senior Loans, will be limited to 10% of the Fund’s Managed Assets.

 

THL Credit Advisors LLC (the Adviser) serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”. The Fund’s financial statements have been prepared to comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These principles require the Adviser to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund follows the significant accounting policies described in this section, as well as the valuation policies described in the next section on valuation.

 

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

Securities Valuation: The Fund holds portfolio securities that are fair valued at the close of each day on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to a valuation committee (the “Committee”), subject to the Board’s supervision and direction, through the adoption of procedures for valuation of the Fund’s securities (the “Valuation Procedures”). The Committee consists of certain designated individuals of the Adviser. Under the current Valuation Procedures, the Committee is responsible for, among other things, determining and monitoring the value of the Fund’s assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available or not representative of the fair value of the securities.

 

The Fund’s securities are valued by various methods, as described below:

 

Senior Loans are valued at prices supplied by the Fund’s pricing agent based on broker-dealer supplied valuations (including mid or average prices) and other criteria. If the Committee does not believe that the pricing agent price reflects the current market value, the Adviser will determine a recommended method of valuing the Senior Loan for consideration by the Committee.

 

Fixed income securities (including short-term obligations) are valued at prices supplied by the Fund’s pricing agent based on broker-dealer supplied valuations, or in the absence of broker-dealer supplied valuations, matrix pricing, a method of valuing securities by reference to the value of other securities with similar characteristics, such as rating, interest rate and maturity.

 

Exchange traded equity securities and warrants are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of the exchange or, in the absence of a sale, the closing bid price, with the exception that for securities traded on the London Stock Exchange and National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System, those securities are valued at the official closing price.

 

 

 

 

THL Credit Senior Loan Fund  
Notes to the Schedule of Investments (unaudited) (continued) September 30, 2019

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Non-exchange traded equity securities are valued at prices supplied by the Fund’s pricing agent based on the average of the bid/ask prices quoted by brokers that are knowledgeable about the securities.

 

Money market funds are valued at their net asset value.

 

If a price is not available from an independent pricing service or broker, or if the price provided is believed to be unreliable, the security will be fair valued pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. Fair value methods may include, but are not limited to, the use of market comparable and/or income approach methodologies. Using a fair value pricing methodology to value securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent sale price and from the prices used by other investment companies to calculate their NAV. Determination of fair value is uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s valuation of a security will not differ from the amount that it realizes upon the sale of such security.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, quoted prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability based on the best information available.

 

Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which a Fund’s net asset value is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investment). Examples of events that may be “significant events” are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflicts and acts of terrorism.

 

The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of investing in those securities.

 

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the period ended September 30, 2019 were intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments under the fair value hierarchy levels as of September 30, 2019:

 

Asset Type   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Senior Loans

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)

 

Fair Value Measurement (continued)

 

Investments were transferred into Level 3 during the period ended September 30, 2019 due to changes in the quantity and quality of information, specifically the number of vendor quotes available to support the valuation of each investment and the increased incidence of stale prices, as assessed by the Adviser. Investments were transferred out of Level 3 during the period ended September 30, 2019 due to improvements in the quantity and quality of information, specifically the number of vendor quotes available to support the valuation of each investment and the reduced incidence of stale prices, as assessed by the Adviser.

 

The valuation techniques and significant amounts of unobservable inputs used in Fund’s Level 3 securities are outlined in the table below:

 

    Fair Value     Valuation Technique   Unobservable Input   Range   Direction Change in
Fair Value Resulting

from Increase in
Unobservable Inputs(1)
Senior Loans   $ 23,987,414     Third-party vendor pricing service   Broker quotes   N/A   Increase
Senior Loans     144,946     Recoverability   Liquidation proceeds   $24.3M   Increase
Common Stocks     414,791     Broker quotes   Broker quotes   $5.50   Increase
Common Stocks     ---     Recoverability   Liquidation proceeds   $24.3M   Increase
Warrants     151,737     Third-party vendor pricing service   Broker quotes   N/A   Increase

 

(1) This column represents the direction change in the fair value of Level 3 securities that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable inputs. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases of these inputs could result in significantly higher or lower gain value determination.

 

3. DELAYED DRAW LOAN COMMITMENTS

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments outstanding, which could be extended at the option of the borrower:

 

Loan   Principal
Amount
    Cost     Value     Net Unrealized
Appreciation/
Depreciation
 
Heartland Dental LLC, Delayed Draw Term Loan - First Lien   $ 24,457     $ 24,334     $ 23,986     $ (348 )
NCR Corp., Delayed Draw Term Loan - First Lien     266,667       265,333       267,500       2,167  

 

Delayed draw loan commitments are marked to market on the relevant day of the valuation in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policy.
