EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this Amendment) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2014 (Form 10-K).
This Amendment amends Part IV, Item 15, Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules, of our Form 10-K. We made the following amendments in response to comments received from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission: (i) revised Note 1 to add disclosure regarding the Companys filing of a registration statement on Form N-2 related to an initial public offering of the Companys common stock; and (ii) revised Note 8 to add disclosure stating that unfunded commitments of our existing investors will no longer remain in effect following the completion of an initial public offering. This Amendment does not amend any other item of our Form 10-K.
There are no other changes to the Form 10-K other than as set forth above. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the March 4, 2014 filing of our Form 10-K or modify or update the disclosures set forth in the Form 10-K in any way. As a result, this Amendment contains forward-looking information that has not been updated for events subsequent to the March 4, 2014 filing of our Form 10-K, and we direct you to our SEC filings made subsequent to March 4, 2014 for additional information.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-1
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
TPG Specialty Lending, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. (and subsidiaries) (the Company), including the consolidated schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, by correspondence with custodians or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. (and subsidiaries) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the results of their operations and their cash flows, and the changes in net assets for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. (TSL or the Company) is a Delaware corporation formed on July 21, 2010. The Company was formed primarily to lend to, and selectively invest in, middle-market companies in the United States. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). In addition, for tax purposes, the Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). TSL is managed by TSL Advisers, LLC (the Adviser). On June 1, 2011, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, TC Lending, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. On March 22, 2012, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, TPG SL SPV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company was a development stage company as defined in ASC 915-10-05, Development Stage Entity. During this time the Company was devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing the business and its planned principal operations had not commenced. All losses accumulated during the six months ended June 30, 2011, have been considered a part of the Companys development stage activities.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented, have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the Companys financial position or its results of operations as previously reported.
Fiscal Year End
The Companys fiscal year ends on December 31.
Recent Developments
On February 18, 2014, we filed a registration statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-193986) with the Securities and Exchange Commission related to an initial public offering of the Companys common stock. The timing of the Companys initial public offering is uncertain. The SEC has not declared this registration statement effective and securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy the securities be accepted, prior to the time this registration statement becomes effective.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Such amounts could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
F-14
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents may consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments (e.g., money market funds, U.S. Treasury notes, and similar type instruments) with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with highly-rated banking corporations and, at times, cash deposits may exceed the insured limits under applicable law.
Investments at Fair Value
Investment transactions purchased on a secondary basis are recorded on the trade date. Loan originations are recorded on the date of the binding commitment, which is generally the funding date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds received (excluding prepayment fees if any) and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized gains or losses primarily reflects the change in investment values and also includes the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses with respect to investments realized during the period.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at those market quotations. To validate market quotations, the Company utilizes a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available, as is the case for substantially all of our investments, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Companys Board of Directors (the Board), based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser, the Companys Audit Committee and independent third-party valuation firms engaged at the direction of the Board.
As part of the valuation process, the Board takes into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of its investments, including: the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company (that is, the total fair value of the portfolio companys debt and equity), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio companys ability to make payments based on its earnings and cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio companys securities to any similar publicly traded securities, overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Board considers whether the pricing indicated by the external event corroborates its valuation.
The Board undertakes a multi-step valuation process, which includes, among other procedures, the following:
| The valuation process begins with each investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the portfolio management team. |
| The Advisers management reviews the preliminary valuations with the investment professionals. Agreed upon valuation recommendations are presented to the Audit Committee. |
| The Audit Committee reviews the valuations presented and recommends values for each investment to the Board. |
| The Board reviews the recommended valuations and determines the fair value of each investment; valuations that are not based on readily available market quotations are valued in good faith based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser, Audit Committee and, where applicable, other third parties. |
The Company currently conducts this valuation process on a quarterly basis.
F-15
In connection with debt and equity securities that are valued at fair value in good faith by the Board, the Board has engaged independent third-party valuation firms to perform certain limited procedures that the Board has identified and requested them to perform. At December 31, 2013, the independent third-party valuation firms performed their procedures over substantially all of the Companys investments. Upon completion of such limited procedures, the third-party valuation firms determined that the fair value, as determined by the Board, of those investments subjected to their limited procedures, was reasonable.
The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), as amended, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company considers its principal market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:
| Level 1Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. |
| Level 2Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
| Level 3Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfers occur. In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company applies the valuation policy approved by its Board that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which its investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. When a security is valued based on prices provided by reputable dealers or pricing services (that is, broker quotes), the Company subjects those prices to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular investment would qualify for treatment as a Level 2 or Level 3 investment. For example, we review pricing methodologies provided by dealers or pricing services in order to determine if observable market information is being used, versus unobservable inputs. Some additional factors considered include the number of prices obtained as well as an assessment as to their quality.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Companys investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of such investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be realized. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities and may be subject to contractual and other restrictions on resale. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.
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 unrealized gains or losses reflected herein.
F-16
Financial and Derivative Instruments
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative contracts entered into by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments, and as a result the Company presents changes in fair value through current period earnings.
In the normal course of business, the Company has commitments and risks resulting from its investment transactions, which may include those involving derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are measured in terms of the notional contract amount and derive their value based upon one or more underlying instruments. While the notional amount gives some indication of the Companys volume of derivative trading activity, it generally is not exchanged, but is only used as the basis on which interest and other payments are exchanged. Derivative instruments are subject to various risks similar to non-derivative instruments including market, credit, liquidity, and operational risks. The Company manages these risks on an aggregate basis as part of its risk management policies.
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Company presents the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts executed with the same counterparty on a net basis given the Company has the legal right to offset the recognized amounts, and it intends to settle on a net basis.
Foreign currency forward contract receivables or payables pending settlement are offset, and the net amount is included with receivable or payable for foreign currency forward contracts in the consolidated balance sheets when, and only when, the Company has the legal right to offset the recognized amounts, and it intends to either settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
| market value of investments, other assets and liabilities: at the spot exchange rate on the last business day of the period; and |
| purchases and sales of investments, income and expenses: at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses. |
Although net assets and fair values are presented based on the applicable foreign exchange rates described above, the Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair values of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
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.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs for revolving credit facilities are amortized over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight line method.
Interest and Dividend Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the amortization of discounts and premiums. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are amortized into interest income over the
F-17
contractual life of the respective security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums, if any.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon managements judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in managements judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on an 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 securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies.
Other Income
From time to time, the Company may receive fees for services provided to portfolio companies by the Adviser. These fees are generally only available to the Company as a result of closing investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that the Adviser provides vary by investment, but generally include structuring or diligence fees, and fees for providing managerial assistance to our portfolio companies.
In certain instances where the Company is invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and does not provide significant services in connection with the investment, all or a portion of any loan fees received by the Company in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the investments life using the effective yield method.
Reimbursement of Transaction-Related Expenses
The Company may receive reimbursement for certain transaction-related expenses in pursuing investments. Transaction-related expenses, which are expected to be reimbursed by third parties, are typically deferred until the transaction is consummated and are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the date incurred. The costs of successfully completed investments not otherwise reimbursed are borne by the Company and included as a component of the investments cost basis. Subsequent to closing, investments are recorded at fair value at each reporting period.
Cash advances received in respect of transaction-related expenses are recorded as Cash and cash equivalents with an offset to Other liabilities or Payables to affiliates. Other liabilities or Payables to affiliates are relieved as reimbursable expenses are incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Company also has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code for the taxable year ended March 31, 2013. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it will generally not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income or excise taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. As a result, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company represents obligations of the Companys stockholders and will not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the applicable tax
F-18
authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are reversed and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
Dividends to Common Stockholders
Dividends to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Board and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by the Adviser. Net realized long-term capital gains, if any, would be generally distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.
The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of any dividends declared in cash on behalf of stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and it declares, a cash dividend, then the stockholders who have not opted out of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Companys common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividend. The Company expects to use newly issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-08, Financial ServicesInvestment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2013- 08). ASU 2013-08 amends the criteria that define an investment company, clarifies the measurement guidance and requires certain additional disclosures. Public companies are required to apply ASU 2013-08 prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2013-08 on its financial statements and disclosures and determined the adoption of ASU 2013-08 will not have a material effect on the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 (ASU 2011-11), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of the financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on the statement of assets and liabilities. In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 (ASU 2013-01),Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarified the types of instruments and transactions that are subject to the disclosure requirements established by ASU 2011-11. The Companys adoption of ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements. See Note 5 for additional disclosure resulting from the adoption of ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01.
3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions
Administration Agreement
On March 15, 2011, the Company entered into the Administration Agreement with the Adviser. Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Adviser provides administrative services to the Company. These services include providing office space, equipment and office services, maintaining financial records, preparing reports to stockholders and reports filed with the SEC, and managing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others. Certain of these services are reimbursable to the Adviser under the terms of the Administration Agreement. In addition, the Adviser is permitted to delegate its duties under the Administration Agreement to affiliates or third parties and we pay or reimburse the Adviser expenses incurred by any such affiliates or third parties for work done on our behalf.
F-19
For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred expenses of $1.4 million, $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for administrative services payable to the Adviser under the terms of the Administration Agreement.
On November 5, 2013, the Board renewed the Administration Agreement. Unless earlier terminated as described below, the Administration Agreement will remain in effect until November 5, 2014, and may be extended subject to required approvals. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon at least 60 days written notice to the other party.
No person who is an officer, director or employee of the Adviser or its affiliates and who serves as a director of the Company receives any compensation from the Company for his or her services as a director. However, the Company reimburses the Adviser (or its affiliates) for an allocable portion of the compensation paid by the Adviser or its affiliates to the Companys Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other professionals who spend time on such related activities (based on the percentage of time those individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the business and affairs of the Company). Directors who are not affiliated with the Adviser receive compensation for their services and reimbursement of expenses incurred to attend meetings.
Investment Advisory Agreement
On April 15, 2011, the Company entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser. The Investment Advisory Agreement was subsequently amended on December 12, 2011. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will provide investment advisory services to the Company. The Advisers services under the Investment Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and the Adviser is free to furnish similar or other services to others so long as its services to the Company are not impaired. Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company will pay the Adviser the Management Fee and may also pay certain Incentive Fees.
For the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2011, and June 30, 2011, the Management Fee was calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% based on the value of the Companys gross assets, which equals total assets before deduction of any liabilities, at the end of such calendar quarter, adjusted for share issuances and repurchases during that period. Beginning October 1, 2011, the Management Fee has been calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% based on the average value of the Companys gross assets calculated using the values at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the period. The Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is prorated for any partial month or quarter.
For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, Management Fees were $13.4 million, $8.9 million, and $1.6 million, respectively.
Until such time that the Company completes an initial public offering of its Common Stock, or IPO, the Adviser has waived its right to receive the Management Fee in excess of the sum of (i) 0.25% of aggregate committed but undrawn capital; and, (ii) 0.75% of aggregate drawn capital (including capital drawn to pay Company expenses) as determined as of the end of any calendar quarter.
For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, Management Fees of $7.1 million, $3.7 million, and $7 thousand, respectively, were waived. Any waived Management Fees are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.
The Incentive Fee consists of two parts, as follows:
(i) | The first component, payable at the end of each quarter in arrears, equals 100% of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of a 1.5% quarterly hurdle rate the calculation of which is further explained below, until the Adviser has received 15% of the total pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for that quarter (17.5% subsequent to an IPO) and, for pre-Incentive Fee net |
F-20
investment income in excess of 1.82% quarterly, 15% of all remaining pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for that quarter (17.5% subsequent to an IPO). The 100% catch-up provision for pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of the 1.5% hurdle rate is intended to provide the Adviser with an incentive fee of 15% on all pre-Incentive Fee net investment income when that amount equals 1.82% in a quarter (7.28% annualized), which is the rate at which catch-up is achieved. Once the hurdle rate is reached and catch-up is achieved, 15% of any pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of 1.82% in any quarter is payable to the Adviser. |
Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means dividends (including reinvested dividends), interest and fee income accrued by us during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement to the Administrator, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we may not have received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
(ii) | The second component, payable at the end of each fiscal year in arrears, prior to the end of the quarter in which an IPO is completed, equals 15%, and following the completion of an IPO, will equal a weighted percentage of cumulative realized capital gains from our inception to the end of that fiscal year, less cumulative realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation. We refer to this component of the Incentive Fee as the Capital Gains Fee. Each year, the fee paid for this component of the Incentive Fee is net of the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gains Fee for prior periods. For capital gains that accrue following the end of the quarter in which an IPO is completed, the Incentive Fee rate will be 17.5%. The Company accrues, but does not pay, a capital gains Incentive Fee with respect to unrealized appreciation because a capital gains Incentive Fee would be owed to the Adviser if the Company were to sell the relevant investment and realize a capital gain. The weighted percentage is intended to ensure that for each fiscal year following the completion of an IPO, the portion of the Companys realized capital gains that accrued prior to an IPO will be subject to an incentive fee rate of 15% and the portion of the Companys realized capital gains that accrued following the end of the quarter in which an IPO is completed will be subject to an incentive fee rate of 17.5%. |
Prior to the completion of an IPO, if cumulative net realized losses from the Companys inception exceeded the aggregate dollar amount of dividends paid by the Company through that date, the Adviser would forgo the right to receive its quarterly Incentive Fee payments with respect to pre-Incentive Fee net investment income until the time that cumulative net realized losses were less than or equal to the aggregate amount of dividend payments.
The Company accrues the Incentive Fee taking into account unrealized gains and losses; however, Section 205(b)(3) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, prohibits the Adviser from receiving the payment of fees until those gains are realized, if ever. There can be no assurance that such unrealized gains will be realized in the future. For the year ended December 31, 2013, Incentive Fees were $11.8 million of which $10.5 million were realized and payable to the Adviser. For the year ended December 31, 2012, Incentive Fees were $7.0 million of which $5.7 million were realized and payable to the Adviser.

5. Derivatives
Foreign Currency
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to facilitate settlement of purchases and sales of investments denominated in foreign currencies or to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Companys investments denominated in foreign currencies. A foreign currency forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. These contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled. The Companys foreign currency forward contracts during the year ended December 31, 2013 had terms of approximately one to two months. The volume of open contracts at the end of each reporting period is reflective of the typical volume of transactions during each month. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company attempts to limit this risk by dealing with only creditworthy counterparties.

The Company typically determines the fair value of its performing Level 3 debt investments utilizing a yield analysis. In a yield analysis, a price is ascribed for each investment based upon an assessment of current and expected market yields for similar investments and risk profiles. Additional consideration is given to the expected life, portfolio company performance since close, and other terms and risks associated with an investment. Among other factors, a determinant of risk is the amount of leverage used by the portfolio company relative to the total enterprise value of the company, and the rights and remedies of our investment within each portfolio companys capital structure.
F-26
Significant unobservable quantitative inputs typically used in the fair value measurement of the Companys Level 3 debt investments primarily include current market yields, including relevant market indices, but may also include quotes from brokers, dealers, and pricing services as indicated by comparable investments. For the Companys Level 3 equity investments, multiples of similar companies revenues, earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) or some combination thereof and comparable market transactions are typically used.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
Debt
The fair value of the Companys debt, which is categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, approximates its carrying value as the outstanding balances are callable at carrying value.
Other Assets and Liabilities
The carrying amounts of the Companys assets and liabilities, other than investments at fair value, approximate fair value due to their short maturities or their close proximity of the originations to the measurement date. Under the fair value hierarchy, cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 while the Companys other assets and liabilities, other than investments at fair value and debt, are classified as Level 2.
7. Debt
In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limitations, the Company is allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after such borrowing. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Companys asset coverage was 232.9% and 244.6%, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility (SunTrust)
On August 23, 2012, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement with SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent, and certain lenders. On July 2, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to amend and restate the agreement, effective on July 3, 2013. The amended and restated facility, among other things, increased the size of the facility from $200 million to $350 million. The facility included an uncommitted accordion feature that allowed the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the facility up to $550 million. On September 30, 2013, the Company exercised its right under the accordion feature and increased the size of the facility to $400 million. On January 27, 2014, the Company again exercised its right under the accordion feature and increased the size of the facility to $420 million.
On February 27, 2014, the Company further amended and restated the Revolving Credit Facility (SunTrust). The second amended and restated agreement (the Revolving Credit Facility (SunTrust)), among other things:
| increased the size of the facility to $581.3 million; |
| increased the size of the uncommitted accordion feature to allow the Company, under certain circumstances to increase the size of the facility up to $956.3 million; |
| increased the limit for swingline loans to $100 million; |
| with respect to $545 million in commitments, |
| extended the expiration of the revolving period from June 30, 2017 to February 27, 2018, during which period the Company, subject to certain conditions, may make borrowings under the facility, and |
| extended the stated maturity date from July 2, 2018 to February 27, 2019; and |
| provided that borrowings under the multicurrency tranche will be available in certain additional currencies. |
The Company may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies. Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility (SunTrust), including amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit, bear interest at either LIBOR plus a margin, or the prime rate plus a margin. The Company may elect either the LIBOR or prime rate at the time of drawdown, and loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time, subject to certain conditions. The Company also pays a fee of 0.375% on undrawn amounts and, in respect of each undrawn letter of credit, a fee and interest rate equal to the then applicable margin while the letter of credit is outstanding.
The Revolving Credit Facility (SunTrust) is guaranteed by TC Lending, LLC and certain domestic subsidiaries that are formed or acquired by the Company in the future. The Revolving Credit Facility (SunTrust) is secured by a perfected first-priority security interest in substantially all the portfolio investments held by the Company and each guarantor. Proceeds from borrowings may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of portfolio investments.
F-28
The Revolving Credit Facility (SunTrust) includes customary events of default, as well as customary covenants, including restrictions on certain distributions and financial covenants requiring:
| an asset coverage ratio of no less than 2 to 1 on the last day of any fiscal quarter; |
| a liquidity test under which the Company must maintain cash and liquid investments of at least 10% of the covered debt amount under circumstances where the Companys adjusted covered debt balance is greater than 90% of the Companys adjusted borrowing base under the facility; and |
| stockholders equity of at least $205,000,000 plus 25% of the net proceeds of the sale of equity interests after August 23, 2012. |
Revolving Credit Facility (Natixis)
On May 8, 2012, the Natixis Closing Date, the Companys wholly owned subsidiary TPG SL SPV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, entered into a credit and security agreement with Natixis, New York Branch. Also on May 8, 2012, the Company contributed certain investments to TPG SL SPV pursuant to the terms of a Master Sale and Contribution Agreement by and between the Company and TPG SL SPV. The Company consolidates TPG SL SPV in its consolidated financial statements, and no gain or loss was recognized as a result of the contribution. Proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility (Natixis) may be used to finance the acquisition of eligible assets by TPG SL SPV, including the purchase of such assets from the Company. The Company retains a residual interest in assets contributed to or acquired by TPG SL SPV through its ownership of TPG SL SPV. The facility size is subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on the amount of TPG SL SPVs assets from time to time, and satisfaction of certain conditions, including an asset coverage test, an asset quality test and certain concentration limits.
The credit and security agreement provided for a contribution and reinvestment period for up to 18 months after the Natixis Closing Date, or the Natixis Commitment Termination Date. The Natixis Commitment Termination Date was November 8, 2013, at which point the reinvestment period of the Revolving Credit Facility (Natixis) expired and accordingly any undrawn availability under the facility terminated. Proceeds received by TPG SL SPV from interest, dividends or fees on assets are required to be used to pay expenses and interest on outstanding borrowings, and the excess can be returned to the Company, subject to certain conditions, on a quarterly basis. Prior to the Natixis Commitment Termination Date, proceeds received from principal on assets could be used to pay down borrowings or make additional investments. Following the Natixis Commitment Termination Date, proceeds received from principal on assets are required to be used to make payments of principal on outstanding borrowings on a quarterly basis. Proceeds received from interest and principal at the end of a reporting period that have not gone through the settlement process for these payment obligations are considered to be restricted cash.
On January 21, 2014, TPG SL SPV entered into an agreement to amend and restate the credit and security agreement (as amended, Revolving Credit Facility (Natixis)). The amended and restated facility, among other things:
| increased the size of the facility from $100 million to $175 million; |
| reopened the reinvestment period thereunder for an additional period of six months following the closing date of January 21, 2014, which may be extended in the borrowers sole discretion for an additional six-month period thereafter; |
| extended the stated maturity date from May 8, 2020 to January 21, 2021; |
| modified pricing; and |
| made certain changes to the eligibility criteria and concentration limits. |
Amounts drawn under the amended and restated Revolving Credit Facility (Natixis) and the original credit and security agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin or base rate plus a margin or, in the case of the
F-29
amended and restated Revolving Credit Facility (Natixis), the lenders cost of funds plus a margin, in each case at TPG SL SPVs option. TPG SL SPVs ability to borrow at lenders cost of funds plus a margin lowers our interest rate currently applicable on the Companys borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (Natixis). The undrawn portion of the commitment bears an unutilized commitment fee of 0.75%. The Revolving Credit Facility (Natixis) contains customary covenants, including covenants relating to separateness from the Adviser and its affiliates and long-term credit ratings with respect to the underlying collateral obligations, and events of default. The Revolving Credit Facility (Natixis) is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the assets of TPG SL SPV and on any payments received by TPG SL SPV in respect of such assets, which accordingly are not available to pay the Companys other debt obligations.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, TPG SL SPV had $184.3 million and $154.4 million, respectively, in investments at fair value, and $78.3 million and $67.3 million, respectively, in liabilities, including the outstanding borrowings, on its balance sheet. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, TPG SL SPV had $6.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively, in restricted cash, a component of prepaid expenses and other assets, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Borrowings of TPG SL SPV are considered the Companys borrowings for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act.
Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA)
On September 28, 2011, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, or DBTCA. At closing, the maximum principal amount of the revolving credit facility was $150 million, subject to availability under the borrowing base. On December 22, 2011, the revolving credit facility was amended and restated (as amended the Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA)). Under the Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA), the maximum principal amount was increased from $150 million to $250 million subject to availability under a borrowing base. Proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA) could have been used for investment activities, expenses, working capital requirements and general corporate purposes.
During July 2013, the Company reduced the capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA) from $250 million to $100 million. The elective reduction did not have a significant effect on the Companys liquidity as (i) the Companys borrowings are limited by the 1940 Acts asset coverage requirement; and (ii) there was adequate availability under the Companys other credit facilities.
On November 5, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA) by extending the stated maturity date from December 22, 2013 to June 30, 2014. The Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA) would have matured upon the earlier of June 30, 2014 and 25 days prior to a qualifying initial public offering of the Company. On February 27, 2014, The Company terminated the Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA), effective March 4, 2014. The outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA) was paid down prior to terminating the facility. The Company did not incur any fees or penalties in conjunction with the termination.
The Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA) was secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the unfunded capital commitments of the Companys existing investors.
Interest rates on obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA) were based on prevailing LIBOR or prime lending rate plus an applicable margin. The Company could have elected either the LIBOR or prime rate at the time of draw-down, and loans could have been converted from one rate to another at any time, subject to certain conditions. The Company also paid a fee of 0.375% on undrawn amounts of the Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA). In respect of each letter of credit, the Company paid a fee and a fixed rate while the letter of credit was outstanding.
F-30
The Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA) contained customary covenants on the Company and its subsidiaries, including requirements to deposit all capital call proceeds into a collateral account, restrictions on certain distributions, and restrictions on certain types and amounts of indebtedness. The Revolving Credit Facility (DBTCA) also included customary events of default.
As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the terms of its debt obligations.

(2) | As further described in Note 9, the indicated amounts have been retroactively adjusted for the stock split which was effected in the form of a stock dividend. |
The number of shares issued through the dividend reinvestment plan was determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the dividend payable to such investor by the net asset value per share of the Common Stock on
F-32
the record date of the dividend. The Common Stock issued through the dividend reinvestment plan was rounded down to the nearest whole share to avoid the issuance of fractional shares, and fractional shares were paid in cash.
On December 3, 2013, the Board approved a stock split in the form of a stock dividend pursuant to which the Companys stockholders of record as of December 4, 2013 received 65.676 additional shares of common stock for each share of common stock held. The Company distributed the shares on December 5, 2013 and paid cash for fractional shares without interest or deduction. The Company has retroactively applied the effect of the stock split to the financial information presented herein by multiplying numbers of shares outstanding by 66.676 and dividing per share amounts by 66.676. As of December 31, 2013, the Companys issued and outstanding shares totaled 37,026,023, as adjusted for the stock split.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: | Taxable income is an estimate and is not fully determined until the Companys tax return is filed. |
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 stockholders equity 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, undistributed net investment income or undistributed net realized gains on investments, as appropriate. In addition, due to the Companys differing fiscal, tax, and excise tax year ends, the best estimates available are recorded to the above accounts in the period that such differences arise or are identifiable.
F-34
During the year ended December 31, 2013, permanent differences were principally related to $0.2 million attributable to accrued U.S. federal excise taxes, $3.0 million of recharacterization of prepayment penalties for tax purposes between ordinary income and capital gains and $1.4 million on the disposition of investments with PIK earnings not previously recognized for tax purposes. During the year ended December 31, 2012, permanent differences of $46 thousand were principally attributable to accrued U.S. federal excise taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2011, permanent differences were primarily attributable to $54 thousand of nondeductible net operating losses incurred by the Company in respect of the Companys taxable year ended March 31, 2011, and were recorded as a decrease to the Companys additional paid-in capital and accumulated net investment income (loss) as of December 31, 2011.
We neither have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes, nor did we have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. Although we file federal and state tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is federal. Our inception-to-date federal tax year remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
The tax cost of the Companys investments as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, approximates their amortized cost.

(1) | U.S. GAAP requires that total return be calculated as the change in net asset value per share during the period plus declared dividends per share, divided by the beginning net asset value per share. For the year ended December 31, 2011, calculating total return in such a manner does not adjust for the effect of the initial seed funding as part of the Companys formation (at $1 per share) and accordingly the information is not meaningful. Excluding the effect of the initial seed funding, total return for the period July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 would be (1.58%). |
(2) | As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the amount includes commitments from the Adviser and its affiliates of $117.1, $114.1 and $70.4 million, respectively. |
