Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On April 1, 2022, SLR Investment Corp., a Maryland corporation (“SLRC”), completed its previously announced acquisition of SLR Senior Investment Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of December 1, 2021, by and among SLRC, the Company, Solstice Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SLRC (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, SLR Capital Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and investment adviser to each of SLRC and the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was first merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Initial Merger”), and, immediately following the Initial Merger, the Company was then merged with and into SLRC, with SLRC as the surviving company (together with the Initial Merger, the “Merger”). As a result of, and as of the effective time of, the Merger, the Company’s separate existence ceased.

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.7796 shares of SLRC’s common stock (with the Company’s stockholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares of SLRC’s common stock). As a result of the Merger, SLRC issued an aggregate of approximately 12.5 million shares of its common stock to former stockholders of the Company prior to any adjustment for the former stockholders of the Company receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Company as Exhibit 2.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 1, 2021.

Trading of shares of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq was halted after the close of trading on March 31, 2022. The information contained in Item 2.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
