LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

 

We are pleased to provide you with the enclosed report of Eagle Point Income Company Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

The primary investment objective of the Company is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. We seek to achieve these objectives by investing primarily in junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). In addition, the Company may invest up to 35% of its total assets in CLO equity securities and other securities and instruments that are consistent with our investment objectives.

 

The Company benefits from the specialized investment experience of Eagle Point Income Management LLC (“Eagle Point” or the “Adviser”), which applies its proprietary, private markets-style investment process to CLO investing. This process seeks to maximize returns while mitigating risks. We believe the scale and experience of our Adviser and its affiliates in CLO investing provides the Company with meaningful advantages.

 

The Company had a strong first half of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had an increase in net assets resulting from operations of $25.5 million, or $1.93 per weighted average common share¹ (inclusive of unrealized changes in portfolio prices). This represents a non-annualized return on our common equity of 14.50%.² From December 31, 2023 through June 30, 2024, the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”) increased 6% from $14.39 to $15.24 per common share.

 

During the first half of 2024, we:

 

●

Generated strong GAAP net investment income (“NII”) and realized capital gains of $1.09 per weighted average common share when excluding non-recurring expenses related to securities offerings.

 

●

Significantly increased recurring cash flows for the first half of 2024 to $23.1 million, or $1.75 per weighted average common share. This compares to recurring cash flows of $12.5 million, or $1.48 per weighted average common share, collected during the first half of 2023. Recurring cash flows received in the first half of 2024 exceeded our total expenses (excluding non-recurring expenses related to securities offerings) and regular common distributions by $0.08 per weighted average common share.

 

●

Paid $1.20 per share in cash distributions to our common stockholders.

 

●

Proactively managed our CLO junior debt and equity portfolio so that weighted average effective yield stood at 13.09% as of June 30, 2024.

 

Past performance is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance.

 

Please see page 11 for endnotes.

 

●

Strengthened our balance sheet by issuing $35.0 million of 8.00% Series C Term Preferred Stock due in 2029 (the “Series C Term Preferred Stock”), with proceeds deployed opportunistically into new CLO debt and equity investments, as well as raising $71.0 million of additional common equity through our at-the-market (“ATM”) program at a premium to NAV, resulting in $0.12 per share of NAV accretion, with net proceeds utilized to increase our liquidity and expand our investment portfolio.

 

We continue to prudently and actively manage the Company’s capital structure while raising capital to take advantage of available investment opportunities. As of July 31, 2024, we had $41.0 million in cash and available borrowing capacity on our balance sheet.

 

While CLO junior debt remains a significant majority of the Company’s portfolio, the portfolio’s CLO equity exposure continues to help enhance the Company’s earnings ability. We believe CLOs, with their strong structural protections and self-correcting mechanisms, are well-positioned to weather periods of market volatility. In our view, the performance of our portfolio through volatility has demonstrated the resilience of the Company’s investment strategy.

 

Past performance is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance.

Company Overview

 

Common Stock

 

The Company’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “EIC”. As of June 30, 2024, the NAV per share of the Company’s common stock was $15.24. The trading price of our common stock may, and often does, differ from NAV per share. The closing price per share of our common stock was $15.80 on June 30, 2024, representing a 3.67% premium to NAV per share.³ For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s non-annualized total return to common stockholders, on a market price basis and assuming reinvestment of distributions, was 17.29%.⁴

 

As of July 31, 2024, the closing price per share of common stock was $15.98, a premium of 4.86% compared to NAV as of June 30, 2024.

 

In connection with our ATM offering program, the Company sold 4.6 million shares of common stock during the first six months ended June 30, 2024 for total net proceeds to the Company of approximately $71.0 million. The common stock issuance resulted in NAV accretion of $0.12 per share.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company paid to common stockholders aggregate distributions totaling $1.20 per share of common stock.⁵ An investor who purchased common stock as part of our IPO in July 2019 has received total cash distributions of $8.22 per share through June 2024. A portion of these distributions was comprised of a return of capital.⁵

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded NII plus realized gains of $0.56 per weighted average common share, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded NII plus realized gains of $0.44 per weighted average common share. The second quarter results include non-recurring offering costs related to the Series C Term Preferred Stock. Excluding these non-recurring expenses, our second quarter NII plus realized gains would have been $0.54 per weighted average common share.

 

We also highlight the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) for common stockholders. This plan allows common stockholders to have their distributions automatically reinvested into new shares of common stock. If the prevailing market price of our common stock exceeds our NAV per share, such reinvestment is at a discount (up to 5%) to the prevailing market price. If the prevailing market price of our common stock is less than our NAV per share, such reinvestment is at the prevailing market price, subject to the terms in the DRIP. We encourage all common stockholders to carefully review the terms of the plan. See “Dividend Reinvestment Plan” in the enclosed report.

Financing Solutions

 

In addition to our common stock, the Company has three preferred equity securities which trade on the NYSE, summarized below:

 

Security	NYSE Symbol	Par Amount Outstanding	Rate	Payment Frequency	Callable	Maturity
5.00% Series A Term Preferred Stock due 2026	EICA	$38.0 million	5.00%	Monthly	Callable	October 2026
7.75% Series B Term Preferred Stock due 2028	EICB	$38.5 million	7.75%	Monthly	July 2025	July 2028
8.00% Series C Term Preferred Stock due 2029	EICC	$35.8 million	8.00%	Monthly	April 2026	April 2029

 

Leverage

 

The weighted average maturity on our preferred stock as of June 30, 2024 was approximately 3.7 years. In addition, all of our preferred stock financing is fixed rate, providing us with certainty in a dynamic rate environment.

 

We had leverage equal to 32.2% of total assets (less current liabilities) as of June 30, 2024. Over the long term, management expects the Company to operate under normal market conditions generally with leverage of between 25% and 35% of total assets (less current liabilities). Based on applicable market conditions at any given time, or should significant opportunities present themselves, the Company may incur leverage in excess of this amount, subject to applicable regulatory and contractual limits.

Portfolio Overview

 

First Half 2024 Portfolio Update

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had an increase in net assets resulting from operations of $25.5 million, or $1.93 per weighted average common share (inclusive of unrealized gains).

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company deployed $115.1 million of gross capital into CLO debt, CLO equity and other investments. The CLO debt had a weighted average expected yield (to maturity) of 11.27% at the time of purchase, while CLO equity had a weighted average expected yield of 21.74% at the time of purchase.⁶

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had 109 CLO investments in our portfolio, the significant majority of which are BB-rated (or equivalent) CLO junior debt. The weighted average effective yield on the aggregate portfolio of CLO debt and equity investments was 13.09% as of this date, based on amortized cost.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received recurring cash flows of $23.1 million, or $1.75 per weighted average common share. This is a significant increase when compared to recurring cash flows of $12.5 million, or $1.48 per weighted average common share, collected during the first half of 2023. Recurring cash flows received in the first half of 2024 exceeded our total expenses (excluding non-recurring expenses related to securities offerings) and regular common distributions by $0.08 per weighted average common share.

 

Our Adviser continues to evaluate attractive investment opportunities on our behalf predominantly in the secondary market, which presently offer better relative value than the primary market. Maintaining exposure to varied CLO vintage periods remains an important part of our investment approach.

 

Within the enclosed report, you will find detailed portfolio information, including certain look-through information related to the underlying collateral characteristics of the investments held as of June 30, 2024.

Market Overview⁷

 

Loan Market

 

For the first half of 2024, loan performance was stable. The Credit Suisse Leverage Loan Index⁸ (“CSLLI”), which is a broad index followed by many tracking the corporate loan market, generated a non-annualized total return of 4.44% in the first half of 2024. There was an increase in loan refinancing and repricing activity in the second quarter. Interest rates remained elevated, helping to maintain the attractive current coupons on floating rate loans.

 

Average loan prices finished the first half of 2024 at 95.68, a modest increase from 95.32 at the beginning of the year.

 

Loan issuance totaled $289 billion for the first half of 2024, compared to $103 billion for the first half of 2023. Total institutional loans outstanding stood at $1.4 trillion as of June 30, 2024.

 

The trailing 12-month par-weighted default rate finished June at 0.92%, compared to 1.53% at the end of 2023, and remaining well below the long-term average of 2.65%.⁹ While many CLO investors focus on default rates, we believe the market does not give enough consideration to loan repayment rates and the reinvestment period tenor within CLOs, which allows CLOs to purchase loans at a discount. With over $44 billion of BSLs repaying at par in June, the 12-month trailing loan repayment rate increased to 25.3% as of June 30, 2024.

 

Part of these repayments relate to refinancing of loans coming due. As of June 30, 2024, less than 3% of the loan market was set to mature prior to 2026 and the “maturity wall” continues to be pushed out; 2025 and 2026 maturities have each been reduced by over 50% since the beginning of the year. Only 2.9% of the loans in the portfolios of our underlying CLO equity positions mature prior to 2026.

 

CLO Market

 

The first half of 2024 saw CLO new issue at the fastest pace ever, with approximately $102 billion of volume, which is over 80% higher than new issue volume at the same time last year. Third party CLO equity investors have returned to the new issue market in 2024 as CLO AAAs have tightened, which has also driven a large increase in CLO refinancing and reset activity to over $110 billion combined. We appear well on pace to break the previous issuance records set in 2021.

 

In the first half of 2024, there were approximately $50 billion of CLO AAA paydowns, and research reports expect another $30 billion of CLO AAA paydowns in July. Absent unexpected volatility, tightening pressure on CLO AAA spreads will likely remain and encourage more CLO refinancing and reset activity.

 

Past performance is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance.

As of June 30, 2024, CLO BB discount margins, or DMs, averaged approximately 673 basis points over SOFR, a decrease of 110 basis points since the end of 2023. At today’s SOFR level, we believe CLO BBs represent a very attractive investment opportunity.

 

The underlying fundamentals of CLO portfolios remain strong. The median marketwide CCC-rated loan exposure for U.S. CLOs was just 6.6%, with average OC cushions of 3.2% on June 30, 2024. For context, approximately 6.3% of U.S. CLOs recorded a breach of their overcollateralization test as of June 30, 2024. In other words, over 93% of U.S. CLOs continued to pay cash distributions to their CLO equity investors. For reference, all of our CLO equity investments with a payment date in July received a distribution.

 

We remain excited about the investment opportunities within the CLO market – in particular the junior debt and equity portions of the capital structure. Our investment portfolio, as well as the right side of our balance sheet, was intentionally designed for markets like these, and our shareholders are benefiting via multiple increases in our monthly cash distributions over the past two years.

Notes

 

1	“Weighted average common share” is calculated based on the average daily number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and “per common share” refers to per share of the Company’s common stock.

2	Return on our common equity reflects the Company’s cumulative monthly performance net of applicable expenses and fees measured against beginning capital adjusted for any common equity issued during the period.

3	An investment company trades at a premium when the market price at which its shares trade is more than its net asset value per share. Alternatively, an investment company trades at a discount when the market price at which its shares trade is less than its net asset value per share.

4

Total return based on market value is calculated assuming shares of the Company’s common stock were purchased at the market price as of the beginning of the period, and distributions paid to common stockholders during the period were reinvested at prices obtained by the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, and the total number of shares were sold at the closing market price per share on the last day of the period. Total return does not reflect any sales load.

5

To date, a portion of common stock distributions has been estimated to be a return of capital as noted under the Tax Information section on the Company’s website. The actual components of the Company’s distributions for U.S. tax reporting purposes can only be finally determined as of the end of each fiscal year of the Company and are thereafter reported on Form 1099-DIV.

6

Weighted average effective yield is based on an investment’s amortized cost and expected future cash flows whereas weighted average expected yield is based on an investment’s fair market value and expected future cash flows as of the applicable period end as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements, which is subject to change from period to period.

7	Market data and statistics summarized herein are sourced from JPMorgan Chase & Co., S&P Capital IQ, S&P LCD and Credit Suisse.

8	The CSLLI tracks the investable universe of the US dollar-denominated leveraged loan market. The performance of an index is not an exact representation of any particular investment, as you cannot invest directly in an index.

9	“Par-weighted default rate” represents the rate of obligors who fail to remain current on their loans based on the par amount.

10	Calculated in the aggregate with its affiliate Eagle Point Credit Management LLC and certain other affiliated advisers.

Notes

 

1

The summary of portfolio investments shown is based on the estimated fair value of the underlying positions as of June 30, 2024. Cash and borrowing capacity represents cash net of pending trade settlements and includes available capacity on the Company’s credit facility as of June 30, 2024. Borrowings under the credit facility are subject to applicable regulatory and contractual limits.

2

The information presented herein is on a look-through basis to the collateralized loan obligation, or “CLO,” and other related investments held by the Company as of June 30, 2024 (except as otherwise noted) and reflects the aggregate underlying exposure of the Company based on the portfolios of those investments. The data is estimated and unaudited and is derived from CLO trustee reports received by the Company relating to June 2024 and from custody statements and/or other information received from CLO collateral managers and other third party sources. Information relating to the market price of underlying collateral is as of month end; however, with respect to other information shown, depending on when such information was received, the data may reflect a lag in the information reported. As such, while this information was obtained from third party data sources, June 2024 trustee reports and similar reports, other than market price, it does not reflect actual underlying portfolio characteristics as of June 30, 2024 and this data may not be representative of current or future holdings. The Weighted Average Remaining Reinvestment Period information is based on the fair value of CLO equity investments held by the Company at the end of the reporting period.

3	Data represents aggregate indirect exposure. We obtain exposure in underlying senior secured loans indirectly through our CLO and related investments.

4	The weighted average OC cushion senior to the security is calculated using the BBB OC cushion for all BB-rated CLO debt securities in the portfolio and the BB OC cushion for all other securities in the portfolio, in each case as held on June 30, 2024.

5

Credit ratings shown are based on those assigned by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group, or “S&P,” or, for comparison and informational purposes, if S&P does not assign a rating to a particular obligor, the weighted average rating shown reflects the S&P equivalent rating of a rating agency that rated the obligor provided that such other rating is available with respect to a CLO or related investment held by us. In the event multiple ratings are available, the lowest S&P rating, or if there is no S&P rating, the lowest equivalent rating, is used. The ratings of specific borrowings by an obligor may differ from the rating assigned to the obligor and may differ among rating agencies. For certain obligors, no rating is available in the reports received by the Company. Such obligors are not shown in the graphs and, accordingly, the sum of the percentages in the graphs may not equal 100%. Ratings below BBB- are below investment grade. Further information regarding S&P’s rating methodology and definitions may be found on its website (www.standardandpoors.com).

Industry categories are based on the S&P industry categorization of each obligor as reported in CLO trustee reports to the extent so reported. Certain CLO trustee reports do not report the industry category of all of the underlying obligors and where such information is not reported, it is not included in the summary look-through industry information shown. As such, the Company’s exposure to a particular industry may be higher than that shown if industry categories were available for all underlying obligors. In addition, certain underlying obligors may be re-classified from time to time based on developments in their respective businesses and/or market practices. Accordingly, certain underlying borrowers that are currently, or were previously, summarized as a single borrower in a particular industry may in current or future periods be reflected as multiple borrowers or in a different industry, as applicable.

7	Certain CLO trustee reports do not provide the industry classification for certain underlying obligors. These obligors are not summarized in the look-through industry data shown; if they were reflected, they would represent 4.0%.

1.	ORGANIZATION

 

Eagle Point Income Company Inc. (the “Company”) is an externally managed, diversified closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s primary investment objective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. The Company seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations, or “CLOs,” that are collateralized by a portfolio consisting primarily of below investment grade U.S. senior secured loans with a large number of distinct underlying borrowers across various industry sectors. The Company focuses on CLO debt tranches rated “BB” (e.g., BB+, BB or BB-, or their equivalent) by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or “Moody’s,” Standard & Poor’s, or “S&P,” or Fitch Ratings, Inc., or “Fitch,” and/or other applicable nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The Company may invest up to 35% of its total assets (at the time of investment) in unrated CLO equity securities and related securities and instruments. The Company may also invest in other junior debt tranches of CLOs, senior debt tranches of CLOs, loan accumulation facilities (“LAF”) and other related securities and instruments.

 

The Company was initially formed on September 28, 2018 and commenced operations on October 4, 2018. On July 23, 2019, the Company priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and on July 24, 2019, the Company’s shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “EIC”.

 

The Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for federal income tax purposes.

 

Eagle Point Income Management LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser of the Company and manages the investments of the Company subject to the supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Eagle Point Administration LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser, is the administrator of the Company (the “Administrator”).

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries- Eagle Point Income Company Sub II (Cayman) Ltd. (the “Cayman Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, and Eagle Point Income Company Sub (US) LLC (the “US Subsidiary), a Delaware limited liability company (together the “Subsidiaries”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. As of June 30, 2024, the US Subsidiary and the Cayman Subsidiary represented 0.1% and 0.0% of the Company’s net assets, respectively.

 

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. Items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured and presented in United States dollars.

 

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of the reporting date. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Valuation of Investments 

The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments.

 

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and fair values its investment portfolio in

 

 

Eagle Point Income Company Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. Investments are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Fair value is the estimated amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).

 

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act adopted by the SEC in December 2020 (“Rule 2a-5”), the Board has elected to designate the Adviser as “valuation designee” to perform fair value determinations, subject to Board oversight and certain other conditions. In the absence of readily available market quotations, as defined by Rule 2a-5, the Adviser determines the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with its written valuation policy approved by the Board. There is no single method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments held by the Company. Due to the uncertainty of valuation, this estimate may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

 

The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments:

 

●

Level I – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company is able to access as of the reporting date.

●

Level II – Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level I, that are observable either directly or indirectly as of the reporting date. These inputs may include (a) quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset, or (d) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

●

Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and little, if any, active market exists as of the reporting date. Fair value inputs require significant judgment or estimation from the Adviser.

 

In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given investment is based on the lowest level of input significant to that fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the investment.

 

Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Investments with readily available actively quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market, will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

 

Investments for which observable, quoted prices in active markets do not exist are reported at fair value based on Level III inputs. The amount determined to be fair value may incorporate the Adviser’s own assumptions (including assumptions the Adviser believes market participants would use in valuing investments and assumptions relating to appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and lack of marketability), as provided for in the Adviser’s valuation policy.

 

An estimate of fair value is made for each investment at least monthly taking into account information available as of the reporting date and is subject to review by the Board on a quarterly basis.

 

See Note 3 “Investments” for further discussion relating to the Company’s investments.

Other Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities at Fair Value 

The Fair Value Option (“FVO”) under FASB ASC Subtopic 825-10, Fair Value Option (“ASC 825”), allows companies to make an irrevocable election to use fair value as the initial and subsequent accounting measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities. The decision to elect the FVO is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis and must be applied to an entire instrument. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be reported separately from those instruments measured using another accounting method and changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk on financial liabilities for which the FVO is elected are required to be presented separately in other comprehensive income. Additionally, upfront offering costs related to such instruments, inclusive of costs associated with issuances under the Company’s at-the-market (“ATM”) program, are recognized in earnings as incurred and are not deferred.

 

The Company elected to account for its 5.00% Series A Term Preferred Stock due 2026 (the “Series A Term Preferred Stock”), its 7.75% Series B Term Preferred Stock due 2028 (“Series B Term Preferred Stock”), and its 8.00% Series C Term Preferred Stock due 2029 (“Series C Term Preferred Stock”, and collectively with the Series A Term Preferred Stock and the Series B Term Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) utilizing the FVO under ASC 825. The primary reason for electing the FVO is to reflect economic events in the same period in which they are incurred and address simplification of reporting and presentation.

 

Investment Income Recognition

Interest income from investments in CLO debt and collateralized fund obligation (“CFO”) debt is recorded using the accrual basis of accounting to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. Interest income on such investments is generally expected to be received in cash. The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”), in calculating amortization of premium for applicable investments. Amortization of premium or accretion of discount is recognized using the effective interest method.

 

In certain circumstances, all or a portion of interest income from a given investment may be paid in the form of additional investment principal, often referred to as payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. PIK interest is included in interest income and interest receivable through the payment date. The PIK interest rate represents the coupon rate at payment date when PIK interest is received. On the payment date, all or a portion of interest receivable is capitalized as additional principal in the investment. To the extent the Company does not believe it will ultimately be able to collect PIK interest, the investment will be placed on non-accrual status, and previously recorded PIK interest income will be reversed.

 

CLO equity investments, fee rebates and CFO equity investments recognize investment income for U.S. GAAP purposes on the accrual basis utilizing an effective interest methodology based upon an effective yield to maturity utilizing projected cash flows. ASC Topic 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, requires investment income from such investments to be recognized under the effective interest method, with any difference between cash distributed and the amount calculated pursuant to the effective interest method being recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of the investment. It is the Adviser’s policy to update the effective yield for each CLO equity and fee rebate position held within the Company’s portfolio at the initiation of each investment and each subsequent quarter thereafter. It is the Adviser’s policy to review the effective yield for each CFO equity position at each measurement date and update periodically based on the facts and circumstances known to the Adviser.

 

Other Income 

Other income includes the Company’s share of income under the terms of fee rebate agreements and commitment fee income.

 

Interest Expense 

Interest expense includes the Company’s distributions associated with its Series A Term Preferred Stock, Series B Term Preferred Stock and amounts due under the credit facility agreement in relation to the outstanding borrowings and unused commitment fees. Interest expense also includes the Company’s amortization of original issue premiums and discounts associated with its Preferred Stock.

The following table summarizes the components of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

 

		Series A Term Preferred Stock				Series B Term Preferred Stock				Series C Term Preferred Stock				Revolving Credit Facility				Total
Distributions declared and paid		$	951,034			$	1,428,298			$	649,668			$	-			$	3,029,000
Interest expense on credit facility															101,536				101,536
Amortization of issuance premium (discount)			-				592				13								605
		$	951,034			$	1,428,890			$	649,681			$	101,536			$	3,131,141

 

Interest expense is recorded as an expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company’s Preferred Stock has no interest payable as of June 30, 2024.

 

Please refer to Note 6 “Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock” and Note 9 “Revolving Credit Facility” for further discussion relating to the Preferred Stock issuances and on the interest expense due under the credit facility agreement, respectively.

 

Original Issue Discounts and Premiums 

Original issue discounts and premiums on liabilities consist of discounts or premiums recorded in connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock as part of the Company’s ATM program, consistent with FASB ASC Topic 835-30-35-2. The original issue discounts and premiums are capitalized at the time of issuance and amortized using the effective interest method over the respective terms of each of the Preferred Stock. Amortization and accretion of original issue discounts and premiums are reflected as an expense and a contra expense within interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively.

 

Securities Transactions 

The Company records the purchase and sale of securities on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded based on the specific identification method.

 

In certain circumstances where the Adviser determines it is unlikely to fully amortize a CLO equity or CLO debt investment’s remaining amortized cost, such remaining cost is written-down to its current fair value and recognized as a realized loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

The Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federal insured limits. The Adviser monitors the performance of the financial institution where the accounts are held in order to manage any risk associated with such accounts.

 

Expense Recognition 

Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Prepaid Expenses 

Prepaid expenses consist primarily of insurance premiums, filing fees, shelf registration expenses, ATM program expenses and the Committed Equity Financing (as defined in Note 5 “Common Stock”) expenses. Prepaid shelf registration expenses, ATM program expenses and Committed Equity Financing expenses represent fees and expenses incurred in connection with the initial registration of the Company’s current shelf registration, ATM program and the Committed Equity Financing. Such costs are allocated pro-rata based on the amount issued relative to the total respective offering amount to paid-in-capital or expense depending on the security being issued pursuant to the shelf registration, ATM program and the Committed Equity Financing. Any subsequent costs incurred to maintain the Company’s ATM program and the Committed Equity Financing are expensed as incurred.

 

Any unallocated prepaid expense balance associated with the shelf registration, ATM program and the Committed Equity Financing are accelerated into expense at the earlier of the end of the program period or at the effective date of a new shelf registration or ATM program.

Deferred Financing Costs 

Deferred financing costs consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility (refer to Note 9 “Revolving Credit Facility”). Deferred financing costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility and are reflected in borrowings under the credit facility on the Consolidated Statement of Asset and Liabilities (if any). Amortization of deferred financing costs are recorded as an expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.

 

Offering Expenses 

Offering expenses associated with the issuance and sale of shares of common stock, inclusive of expenses incurred associated with offerings under the ATM program, are charged to paid-in capital at the time the shares are sold in accordance with guidance noted in FASB ASC Topic 946-20-25-5, Investment Companies – Investment Company Activities – Recognition, during the period incurred.

 

Federal and Other Taxes 

The Company intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code and, as such, to not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC tax treatment, among other requirements, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code.

 

Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax basis components of distributable earnings may differ from the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities due to temporary book/tax differences arising primarily from partnerships and passive foreign investment company investments.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the federal income tax cost and net unrealized depreciation on securities were as follows:

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes		$	340,255,992
Gross unrealized appreciation		$	8,074,030
Gross unrealized depreciation			(17,616,773	)
Net unrealized depreciation		$	(9,542,743	)

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred $100,000 in tax expenses as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This is comprised of $50,000 of Delaware franchise tax expense related to the 2024 tax year and $50,000 of excise tax expense related to the 2023 tax year.

 

Distributions 

The composition of distributions paid to common stockholders from net investment income and capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions to common stockholders and can be comprised of net investment income, net realized capital gains and return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are intended to be paid monthly. Distributions payable to common stockholders are recorded as a liability on ex-dividend date. Unless a common stockholder opts out of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), distributions are automatically reinvested in full shares of the Company as of the payment date, pursuant to the DRIP. The Company’s common stockholders who opt-out of participation in the DRIP (including those common stockholders whose shares are held through a broker who has opted out of participation in the DRIP) generally will receive all distributions in cash.

In addition to the regular monthly distributions, and subject to available taxable earnings of the Company, the Company may make periodic special and/or supplemental distributions representing the excess of the Company’s net taxable income over the Company’s aggregate monthly distributions paid during the year.

 

The characterization of distributions paid to common stockholders, as set forth in the Consolidated Financial Highlights, reflect estimates made by the Company for federal income tax purposes. Such estimates are subject to change once the final determination of the source of all distributions has been made and the final tax return has been filed by the Company.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid monthly distributions on common stock of approximately $15.8 million or $1.20 per share.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series A Term Preferred Stock of approximately $1.0 million or approximately $0.63 per share of Series A Term Preferred Stock.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series B Term Preferred Stock of approximately $1.4 million or approximately $0.97 per share of Series B Term Preferred Stock.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company declared and paid dividends on the Series C Term Preferred Stock of approximately $0.6 million or approximately $0.48 per share of Series C Term Preferred Stock.

	⁽¹⁾	Weighted average calculations are based on the fair value of investments.
	⁽²⁾	A weighted average is not presented as the input in the discounted cash flow model varies over the life of an investment.
	⁽³⁾	0% is assumed for defaulted and non-performing assets.
	⁽⁴⁾	Range not shown as only one position is included in the category.
	⁽⁵⁾	Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

 

In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the above table, the Adviser may use other valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the fair value measurements of the Company’s investments, as provided for in the Adviser’s valuation policy approved by the Board. Please refer to Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion. The above table is not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provides information on the significant Level III inputs as they relate to the Company’s fair value measurements as of June 30, 2024. Unobservable inputs and assumptions are reviewed at each measurement date and updated as necessary to reflect current market conditions.

 

Increases (decreases) in the annual default rate, reinvestment price, expected yield and discount rate in isolation would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement. Increases (decreases) in the reinvestment spread and recovery rate in isolation would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. Changes in the annual prepayment rate may result in a higher (lower) fair value, depending on the circumstances. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the annual default rate may be accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for the annual prepayment rate and recovery rate.

Fair Value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs 

The Adviser establishes valuation processes and procedures to ensure the valuation techniques are fair and consistent, and valuation inputs are supportable. The Adviser has a Valuation Committee comprised of various senior personnel of the Adviser, the majority of which are not members of the Company’s portfolio management function. The Valuation Committee is responsible for overseeing the valuation process, evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of the Adviser’s written valuation policies approved by the Board. The Valuation Committee reviews and approves the valuation on a monthly basis.

 

Valuation of CLO Debt 

The Company’s investments in CLO debt have been valued using an independent pricing service. The valuation methodology of the independent pricing service includes incorporating data comprised of observable market transactions, executable bids, broker quotes from dealers with two sided markets, as well as transaction activity from comparable securities to those being valued. As the independent pricing service contemplates real time market data and no unobservable inputs or significant judgment has been used by the Adviser in the valuation of the Company’s investment in CLO debt, such positions are considered Level II assets.

 

Valuation of CLO Equity 

The Adviser estimates the fair value of CLO equity investments utilizing the output from a third-party financial tool based on assumptions derived from internal and external (market) data. The tool contains detailed information on the characteristics of each CLO, including recent information about assets and liabilities from data sources such as trustee reports, and uses market data inputs to project future cash flows to CLO equity tranches. Key inputs to the tool, including, but not limited to assumptions for future loan default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and discount rates are determined by considering both observable and third-party market data and prevailing general market assumptions and conventions as well as those of the Adviser. Additionally, a third-party independent valuation firm is used as an input by the Adviser to determine the fair value of the Company’s investments in CLO equity. The valuation firm’s advice is only one factor considered in the valuation of such investments, and the Adviser does not solely rely on such advice in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with the 1940 Act.

 

The Adviser categorizes CLO equity as Level III investments. Certain pricing inputs may be unobservable. An active market may exist, but not necessarily for CLO equity investments that the Company holds as of the reporting date.

 

Valuation of CFO Debt and CFO Equity  

The Adviser engages a nationally recognized independent valuation agent to determine fair value of the CFO debt and CFO equity held by the Company. The independent valuation agent performs a discounted cash flow analysis, or other valuation techniques appropriate for the facts and circumstances, to determine the fair value of such investments, ultimately providing a high and low valuation for each investment. The final valuation recorded is within the high and low band provided by the valuation agent. Given the illiquidity of these investments and lack of observable inputs, the Adviser categorizes these investments as Level III investments.

 

The Adviser may also utilize the mid-point of an indicative broker quotation, if available, to value such investments as of the reporting date. The Adviser generally categorizes investments valued utilizing indicative broker quotations as Level II or Level III depending on whether an active market exists as of the reporting date.

 

Valuation of Preferred Stock 

The Preferred Stock is considered a Level I security and is valued at the official closing price, taken from the NYSE.

Investment Risk Factors

 

The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the potential risks associated with the Company. The Company’s prospectus provides a detailed discussion of the Company’s risks and considerations. The risks described in the prospectus are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that are currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.

 

Risks of Investing in CLOs and Other Structured Debt Securities

CLOs and other structured finance securities are generally backed by a pool of credit-related assets that serve as collateral. Accordingly, CLO and structured finance securities present risks similar to those of other types of credit investments, including default (credit), interest rate and prepayment risks. In addition, CLOs and other structured finance securities are often governed by a complex series of legal documents and contracts, which increases the risk of dispute over the interpretation and enforceability of such documents relative to other types of investments. There is also a risk that the trustee of a CLO does not properly carry out its duties to the CLO, potentially resulting in loss to the CLO. CLOs are also inherently leveraged vehicles and are subject to leverage risk.

 

Subordinated Securities Risk

CLO junior debt and equity securities that the Company may acquire are subordinated to more senior tranches of CLO debt. CLO junior debt and equity securities are subject to increased risks of default relative to the holders of superior priority interests in the same CLO. In addition, at the time of issuance, CLO equity securities are under-collateralized in that the face amount of the CLO debt and CLO equity of a CLO at inception exceed its total assets. The Company will typically be in a subordinated or first loss position with respect to realized losses on the underlying assets held by the CLOs in which the Company is invested.

 

High-Yield Investment Risk

The CLO junior debt and equity securities that the Company acquires are typically rated below investment grade or, in the case of CLO equity securities, unrated and are therefore considered “higher-yield” or “junk” securities and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. The senior secured loans and other credit-related assets underlying CLOs are also higher-yield investments. Investing in CLO junior debt and equity securities and other high-yield investments typically involves greater credit and liquidity risk than investment grade obligations, which may adversely impact the Company’s performance.

 

Leverage Risk

The use of leverage, whether directly or indirectly through investments such as CLO junior debt and equity securities that inherently involve leverage, may magnify the Company’s risk of loss. CLO junior debt and equity securities are very highly leveraged (with CLO equity securities typically being leveraged ten times), and therefore the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to a higher degree of risk of loss since the use of leverage magnifies losses.

 

Credit Risk

If (1) a CLO in which the Company invests, (2) an underlying asset of any such CLO or (3) any other type of credit investment in the Company’s portfolio declines in price or fails to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer or debtor, as the case may be, experiences a decline in its financial status, the Company’s income, net asset value (“NAV”) and/or market price would be adversely impacted.

 

Key Personnel Risk

The Adviser manages our investments. Consequently, the Company’s success depends, in large part, upon the services of the Adviser (including Eagle Point Credit Management LLC, which provides the Adviser with investment professionals and other resources under a personnel and resources agreement) and the skill and expertise of the Adviser’s professional personnel. There can be no assurance that the professional personnel of the Adviser (or Eagle Point Credit Management LLC) will continue to serve in their current positions or continue to be employed by the Adviser. The Company can offer no assurance that their services will be available for any length of time or that the Adviser will continue indefinitely as the Company’s investment adviser.

Conflicts of Interest Risk

The Company’s executive officers and directors, and the Adviser and certain of its affiliates and their officers and employees, including the members of the Investment Committee, have several conflicts of interest as a result of the other activities in which they engage.

 

Prepayment Risk 

The assets underlying the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment by the underlying corporate borrowers. As such, the CLO securities and related investments in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment risk. If the Company or a CLO collateral manager are unable to reinvest prepaid amounts in a new investment with an expected rate of return at least equal to that of the investment repaid, the Company’s investment performance will be adversely impacted.

 

Liquidity Risk

Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments in which the Company invests. As such, the Company may not be able to sell such investments quickly, or at all. If the Company is able to sell such investments, the prices the Company receives may not reflect the Adviser’s assessment of their fair value or the amount paid for such investments by the Company.

 

Management Fee Risk  

The Company’s management fee structure may incentivize the Adviser to use leverage in a manner that adversely impacts the Company’s performance.

 

Fair Valuation of the Company’s Portfolio Investments

Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments and certain other credit assets in which the Company may invest. The Adviser values these securities at least quarterly, or more frequently as may be required from time to time, at fair value. The Adviser’s determinations of the fair value of the Company’s investments have a material impact on the Company’s net earnings through the recording of unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and may cause the Company’s NAV on a given date to understate or overstate, possibly materially, the value that the Company ultimately realizes on one or more of the Company’s investments.

 

Limited Investment Opportunities Risk

The market for CLO securities is more limited than the market for other credit related investments. The Company can offer no assurances that sufficient investment opportunities for the Company’s capital will be available. In recent years there has been a marked increase in the number of, and flow of capital into, investment vehicles established to pursue investments in CLO securities whereas the size of this market is relatively limited. While the Company cannot determine the precise effect of such competition, such increase may result in greater competition for investment opportunities, which may result in an increase in the price of such investments relative to the risk taken on by holders of such investments. Such competition may also result under certain circumstances in increased price volatility or decreased liquidity with respect to certain positions.

 

Market Risk

Political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Company’s investments. A disruption or downturn in the capital markets and the credit markets could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital, reduce the availability of suitable investment opportunities for the Company, or adversely and materially affect the value of the Company’s investments, any of which would negatively affect the Company’s business. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain, and could affect companies worldwide.

 

Loan Accumulation Facilities Risk

The Company may invest in LAFs, which are short to medium term facilities often provided by the bank that will serve as placement agent or arranger on a CLO transaction and which acquire loans on an interim basis which are expected to form part of the portfolio of a future CLO. Investments in LAFs have risks similar to those applicable to investments in CLOs. Leverage is typically utilized in such a facility and as such the potential risk of loss will be

36

 

Eagle Point Income Company Inc. and Subsidiaries 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

increased for such facilities employing leverage. In the event a planned CLO is not consummated, or the loans are not eligible for purchase by the CLO, the Company may be responsible for either holding or disposing of the loans. This could expose the Company to credit and/or mark-to-market losses, and other risks.

 

Synthetic Investments Risk

The Company may invest in synthetic investments, such as significant risk transfer securities and credit risk transfer securities issued by banks or other financial institutions, or acquire interests in lease agreements that have the general characteristics of loans and are treated as loans for withholding tax purposes. In addition to the credit risks associated with the applicable reference assets, the Company will usually have a contractual relationship only with the counterparty of such synthetic investment, and not with the reference obligor of the reference asset. Accordingly, the Company generally will have no right to directly enforce compliance by the reference obligor with the terms of the reference asset nor will it have any rights of setoff against the reference obligor or rights with respect to the reference asset. The Company will not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the reference asset and will not have the benefit of the remedies that would normally be available to a holder of such reference asset. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the counterparty, the Company may be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the reference asset.

 

Currency Risk  

Although the Company primarily makes investments denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company may make investments denominated in other currencies. The Company’s investments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be subject to the risk that the value of such currency will decrease in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Company may or may not hedge currency risk.

 

Hedging Risk

Hedging transactions seeking to reduce risks may result in poorer overall performance than if the Company had not engaged in such hedging transactions. Additionally, such transactions may not fully hedge the Company’s risks.

 

Reinvestment Risk  

CLOs will typically generate cash from asset repayments and sales that may be reinvested in substitute assets, subject to compliance with applicable investment tests. If the CLO collateral manager causes the CLO to purchase substitute assets at a lower yield than those initially acquired or sale proceeds are maintained temporarily in cash, it would reduce the excess interest-related cash flow, thereby having a negative effect on the fair value of the Company’s assets and the market value of the Company’s securities. In addition, the reinvestment period for a CLO may terminate early, which would cause the holders of the CLO’s securities to receive principal payments earlier than anticipated. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reinvest such amounts in an alternative investment that provides a comparable return relative to the credit risk assumed.

 

Interest Rate Risk

The price of certain of the Company’s investments may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, including recent increases in interest rates. Although senior secured loans are generally floating rate instruments, the Company’s investments in senior secured loans through investments in junior equity and debt tranches of CLOs are sensitive to interest rate levels and volatility. For example, because CLO debt securities are floating rate securities, a reduction in interest rates would generally result in a reduction in the coupon payment and cash flow the Company receives on the Company’s CLO debt investments. Further, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, loan defaults may increase and result in credit losses that may adversely affect the Company’s cash flow, fair value of the Company’s assets and operating results. Because CLOs generally issue debt on a floating rate basis, an increase in the relevant benchmark index will increase the financing costs of CLOs.

 

Refinancing Risk

If the Company incurs debt financing and subsequently refinances such debt, the replacement debt may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions. If the Company fails to extend, refinance or replace such debt financings prior to their maturity on commercially reasonable terms, the Company’s liquidity will be lower than it would have been with the benefit of such financings, which would limit the Company’s ability to grow, and

37

 

Eagle Point Income Company Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

holders of the Company’s common stock would not benefit from the potential for increased returns on equity that incurring leverage creates.

 

Tax Risk

If the Company fails to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for any reason, or otherwise becomes subject to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes (and any related penalties) could substantially reduce the Company’s net assets, the amount of income available for distributions to the Company’s stockholders, and the amount of income available for payment of the Company’s other liabilities.

 

Counterparty Risk

The Company may be exposed to counterparty risk, which could make it difficult for the Company or the issuers in which the Company invests to collect on obligations, thereby resulting in potentially significant losses.

 

Price Risk 

Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

 

Global Risks

Due to highly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value of the Company’s securities and its underlying investments may go up or down in response to governmental actions and/or general economic conditions throughout the world. Events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact the Company and its investments.

 

Banking Risk 

The possibility of future bank failures poses risks of reduced financial market liquidity at clearing, cash management and other custodial financial institutions. The failure of banks which hold cash on behalf of the Company, the Company's underlying obligors, the collateral managers of the CLOs in which the Company invests (or managers of other securitized or pooled vehicles in which the Company invests), or the Company’s service providers could adversely affect the Company’s ability to pursue its investment strategies and objectives. For example, if an underlying obligor has a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, such company may experience delays or other disruptions in meeting its obligations and consummating business transactions. Additionally, if a collateral manager has a commercial relationship with a distressed bank, the manager may experience issues conducting its operations or consummating transactions on behalf of the CLOs it manages, which could negatively affect the performance of such CLOs (and, therefore, the performance of the Company).

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Investment Adviser

On October 5, 2018, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser, for its services, a management fee equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of the Company’s “Managed Assets”. Managed Assets are defined as the Company’s total assets (including assets attributable to the Company’s use of leverage) minus the sum of the Company’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities incurred for the purpose of creating leverage). The management fee is calculated monthly and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s Managed Assets at the end of each calendar month. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company was charged a management fee of approximately $1.87 million, of which $1.04 million was payable as of June 30, 2024.

 

Administrator

Effective October 5, 2018, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator, an affiliate of the Adviser. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or arranges for the performance of, the Company’s required administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial records which the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports which are disseminated to the Company’s stockholders. In addition, the Administrator provides the Company with accounting services, assists the Company in determining and publishing its NAV, oversees the preparation and filing

Eagle Point Income Company Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

of the Company’s tax returns, monitors the Company’s compliance with tax laws and regulations, and prepares and assists the Company with any audits by an independent public accounting firm of the consolidated financial statements. The Administrator is also responsible for printing and disseminating reports to the Company’s stockholders and maintaining the Company’s website, providing support to investor relations, generally overseeing the payment of the Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others, and providing such other administrative services as the Company may from time to time designate.

 

Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon the Company’s allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions and the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of the Company’s chief compliance officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer and the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of any related support staff. The Company’s allocable portion of such compensation is based on an allocation of the time spent on the Company relative to other matters. To the extent the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company pays the fees on a direct basis, without profit to the Administrator. Certain accounting and other administrative services have been delegated by the Administrator to SS&C Technologies, Inc. (“SS&C”). The Administration Agreement may be terminated by the Company without penalty upon not less than sixty days’ written notice to the Administrator and by the Administrator upon not less than ninety days’ written notice to the Company. The Administration Agreement is approved by the Board, including by a majority of the Company’s independent directors, on an annual basis.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company was charged a total of approximately $0.30 million in administration fees, consisting of approximately $0.23 million and $0.08 million relating to services provided by the Administrator and SS&C, respectively, which are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, and of which approximately $0.11 million was payable as of June 30, 2024 and reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

 

The Company may utilize leverage to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. The Company may obtain leverage using any form of financial leverage instruments, including funds borrowed from banks or other financial institutions, margin facilities, notes or preferred stock and leverage attributable to repurchase agreements or similar transactions. Instruments that create leverage are generally considered to be senior securities under the 1940 Act. The use of leverage creates an opportunity for increased net income and capital appreciation, but also creates additional risks and expenses which will be borne entirely by common stock holders. The Company’s leverage strategy may not ultimately be successful.

 

On September 24, 2021 the Company entered into a credit agreement, which was amended on September 6, 2022 and September 18, 2023, with BNP Paribas, as lender, that established a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company can borrow up to an aggregate principal balance of $25.0 million (the “Commitment Amount”). The Revolving Credit facility is collateralized by certain investments held by the Company. The Company has granted a security interest in certain assets to BNP Paribas, as lender. Such borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at Term SOFR plus a spread under the amended credit agreement. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused amount.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on the earlier of (i) the termination of the Commitment, as defined by the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility or (ii) the scheduled maturity date of September 21, 2024. The Company has the option to extend the maturity from time to time in accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility agreement.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had an average outstanding borrowing and average interest rate of approximately $1.9 million and 7.45%, respectively. The interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 on the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $0.1 million, inclusive of the unused fee, and is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding borrowings.

 

See Note 10 “Asset Coverage” for further discussion on the Company’s calculation of asset coverage with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility.

ASSET COVERAGE

 

Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company is permitted to issue senior securities, including debt securities and preferred stock, and borrow from banks or other financial institutions, provided that the Company satisfies certain asset coverage requirements.

 

With respect to senior securities that are stocks, such as the Preferred Stock, the Company is required to have asset coverage of at least 200%, as measured at the time of issuance of any such senior securities that are stocks and calculated as the ratio of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Company’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness plus the aggregate liquidation preference of any outstanding shares of senior securities that are stocks.

 

With respect to senior securities representing indebtedness, such as the Revolving Credit Facility or any bank borrowings (other than temporary borrowings as defined under the 1940 Act), the Company is required to have asset

coverage of at least 300%, as measured at the time of borrowing and calculated as the ratio of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Company’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness.

 

If the Company’s asset coverage declines below 300% (or 200%, as applicable), the Company would be prohibited under the 1940 Act from incurring additional debt or issuing additional preferred stock and from declaring certain distributions to its stockholders. In addition, the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility require the Company to cure any breach of the applicable asset coverage if the Company fails to maintain the applicable asset coverage, and the terms of the Preferred Stock require the Company to redeem shares of the Preferred Stock, if such failure to maintain the applicable asset coverage is not cured by a certain date.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s asset coverage with respect to its Preferred Stock and Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024, and as of December 31, 2023:

 

		As of June 30, 2024				As of  December 31, 2023
Total Assets		$	350,781,477			$	243,728,043

⁽¹⁾	Asset coverage of the preferred stock is calculated in accordance with Section 18(h) of the 1940 act, as generally described above.
⁽²⁾	Asset coverage of the debt securities is calculated in accordance with Section 18(h) of the 1940 act, as generally described above.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03 (“ASU 2022-03”) related to FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements - Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This change prohibits entities from taking into account contractual restrictions on the sale of equity securities when estimating fair value and introduces required disclosures for such transactions. The Company has fully adopted the provisions of ASU 2022-03, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The information provided is based on estimates available at each respective period. The Company’s final taxable income and the actual amount required to be distributed will be finally determined when the Company files its final tax returns and may vary from these estimates.

(5)

Represents the difference between the per share amount distributed to common stockholders of record and the per share amount distributed based on the weighted average of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.

(6)

Represents the effect per share of the Company’s issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to a private placement in May 2019 and the Company’s ATM and follow on offerings.

The involuntary liquidating preference per unit is the amount to which a share of Preferred Stock would be entitled in preference to any security junior to it upon our involuntary liquidation.

(3)

The average market value per unit is calculated by taking the average of the closing price of the Series A Term Preferred Stock (NYSE: EICA), Series B Term Preferred Stock (NYSE: EICB), and Series C Term Preferred Stock (NYSE: EICC).

 

 

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

 

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). Under the DRIP, each registered holder of at least one full share of our common stock will be automatically enrolled in the DRIP and distributions on shares of the Company’s common stock are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock by Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (formerly, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC) (the “DRIP Agent”) unless a stockholder “opts-out” of the DRIP. Holders of the Company’s common stock who receive distributions in the form of additional shares of the Company’s common stock are nonetheless required to pay applicable federal, state or local taxes on the reinvested distribution but will not receive a corresponding cash distribution with which to pay any applicable tax. Distributions that are reinvested through the issuance of new shares increase the Company’s stockholders’ equity on which a management fee is payable to the Adviser. If we declare a distribution payable in cash, holders of shares of the Company’s common stock who opt-out of participation in the DRIP (including those holders whose shares are held through a broker or other nominee who has opted out of participation in the DRIP) generally will receive such distributions in cash.

 

The DRIP Agent, on the Company’s behalf, will primarily use newly-issued, authorized shares of common stock to implement reinvestment of distributions under the DRIP (regardless of whether the outstanding shares are trading at a premium or at a discount to the Company’s net asset value (the “NAV”)). However, the Company reserves the right to instruct the DRIP Agent to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market (on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere) in connection with the reinvestment of distributions under the DRIP to the extent that the Company’s shares of common stock are trading at a discount to NAV per share.

 

The number of shares of common stock to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined based on the closing market price per share of common stock on the payment date (the “Market Price”). If 95% of the Market Price is greater than the Company’s last determined NAV per share, the number of shares to be credited to each participant’s account pursuant to DRIP will be determined by dividing the aggregate dollar amount of the distribution by 95% of the Market Price. If 95% of the Market Price is less than the Company’s last determined NAV per share, the number of shares to be credited to each participant’s account pursuant to DRIP will be determined by dividing the aggregate dollar amount of the distribution by the lesser of (i) the last determined NAV per share and (ii) the Market Price.

 

In the event that the DRIP Agent is instructed to buy shares of our common stock on the open market, any shares so purchased will be allocated to each participant based upon the average purchase price (excluding any brokerage charges or other fees) of all shares purchased with respect to the distribution. In any case, the DRIP Agent (or the DRIP Agent’s broker) will have until the last business day before the next date on which the shares trade on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for the applicable distribution, whichever is sooner, to invest the distribution amount in shares acquired on the open market. To the extent that the DRIP Agent is unable to reinvest the full amount of the distribution through open market purchases, the balance shall be credited to participants’ accounts in the form of newly-issued shares of common stock, in accordance with the procedures described above. Open market purchases may be made on any securities exchange where shares of our common stock are traded, in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions, and may be on such terms as to price, delivery and otherwise as the DRIP Agent shall determine.

 

There are no brokerage charges with respect to shares of common stock issued directly by the Company. However, whenever shares are purchased or sold on the NYSE or otherwise on the open market, each participant will pay a pro rata portion of brokerage trading fees, currently $0.07 per share purchased or sold. Brokerage trading fees will be deducted from amounts to be invested.

 

Holders of the Company’s common stock can also sell shares held in the DRIP account at any time by contacting the DRIP Agent in writing at Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560. The DRIP Agent will mail a check to such holder (less applicable brokerage trading fees) on the settlement date, which is three business

 

 

days after the shares have been sold. If a stockholder chooses to sell its shares through a broker, the holder will need to request that the DRIP Agent electronically transfer their shares to the broker through the Direct Registration System.

 

Stockholders participating in the DRIP may withdraw from the DRIP at any time by contacting the DRIP Agent in writing at Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560. Such termination will be effective immediately if the notice is received by the DRIP Agent prior to any dividend or distribution record date; otherwise, such termination will be effective on the first trading day after the payment date for such dividend or distribution and thus apply to any subsequent dividend or distribution. If a holder of the Company’s common stock withdraws, full shares will be credited to their account, and the stockholder will be sent a check for the cash adjustment of any fractional share at the market value per share of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on the day the termination is effective, less any applicable fees. Alternatively, if the stockholder wishes, the DRIP Agent will sell their full and fractional shares and send them the proceeds, less a transaction fee of $15.00 and less brokerage trading fees of $0.07 per share. If a stockholder does not maintain at least one whole share of common stock in the DRIP account, the DRIP Agent may terminate such stockholder’s participation in the DRIP after written notice. Upon termination, stockholders will be sent a check for the cash value of any fractional share in the DRIP account, less any applicable broker commissions and taxes.

 

Stockholders who are not participants in the DRIP, but hold at least one full share of our common stock, may join the DRIP by notifying the DRIP Agent in writing at Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560. If received in proper form by the DRIP Agent before the record date of a dividend, the election will be effective with respect to all dividends paid after such record date. If a stockholder wishes to participate in the DRIP and their shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, the stockholder should contact their nominee to see if it will participate in the DRIP. If a stockholder wishes to participate in the DRIP, but the brokerage firm, bank or other nominee is unable to participate on their behalf, the stockholder will need to request that their shares be re-registered in their own name, or the stockholder will not be able to participate. The DRIP Agent will administer the DRIP on the basis of the number of shares certified from time to time by the stockholder as representing the total amount registered in their name and held for their account by their nominee.

 

Experience under the DRIP may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Company and the DRIP Agent reserve the right to amend or terminate the DRIP upon written notice to each participant at least 30 days before the record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Company.

 

All correspondence or additional information about the DRIP should be directed to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219.

Matthews, Paul E. Tramontano, Thomas P. Majewski and Kevin F. McDonald.

 

Investment Advisory Agreement

 

At a meeting held on May 15, 2024, the Board, including all of the independent Directors (voting separately), unanimously voted to approve the continuation and renewal of the existing investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) by and between the Company and the Adviser for an additional one-year period.

 

In reaching a decision to approve the continuation and renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel, requested and received a significant amount of information and considered all the factors the Board believed relevant, including, among other things, the following: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services performed by the Adviser, including the investment performance of the Company, other comparable registered investment companies, certain other accounts advised by an affiliate of the Adviser; (2) information regarding the fees and other expenses paid by the Company, including the cost of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliate; (3) the profitability to the Adviser of its relationship with the Company, including certain ancillary and other benefits received by the Adviser; (4) comparative information on fees and expenses borne by other comparable registered investment companies, and certain other accounts advised by an affiliate of the Adviser; (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Company grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Company’s investors; and (6) various other factors.

 

The Board’s decision to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board did not assign relative weights to the factors considered by it as the Board conducted an overall analysis of these factors. Individual members of the Board may have given different weights to different factors.

 

The Board requested, considered and evaluated information regarding the following factors, among others:

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services and Performance

 

The Board reviewed and considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement and by its affiliate under a separate administration agreement and the services provided to the Company by third-party service providers. Among other things, the Board reviewed the most recent Form ADV for the Adviser and information about the qualifications, background and experience of the staff and personnel of the Adviser primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Company, including their experience in managing portfolios of CLO securities and the CLO industry knowledge of the Adviser’s senior investment team.

 

The Board also evaluated the Adviser’s shared personnel/services arrangement with its affiliate, Eagle Point Credit Management LLC, and the ability of the Adviser and its affiliate to attract and retain high-caliber professional personnel. In

 

 

this regard, the Board considered information regarding the Adviser’s and its affiliate’s compensation program, which is designed to align personnel interests with the long-term success of clients, including the Company.

 

In addition, the Board reviewed information about the Adviser’s investment process, financial stability, risk management program, and legal and compliance program. They reviewed the Company’s use of leverage, including the forms and amounts of leverage and the effect of such leverage on the Company’s portfolio, profitability and performance, as well as comparative information regarding the levels of leverage used by certain other publicly listed, registered closed-end investment companies (“Peer Funds”) that have an investment strategy comparable to that of the Company’s or otherwise have meaningful CLO securities exposure.

 

The Board then reviewed and considered the Company’s performance results in terms of both (1) total return on a net asset value basis (i.e., book basis) and (2) total return to common stockholders (assuming reinvestment of dividends), each during 1- and 3-year periods ending March 31, 2024 and for the period from July 23, 2019 (inception of the Company) through March 31, 2024, and the Board considered such performance in light of the Company’s investment objective, strategies and risks.

 

The Board also considered and discussed the performance results for various periods of time of (1) funds and accounts managed by an affiliate of the Adviser that is comparable to the Company in terms of investment objectives investment, policies, eligible portfolio investments and certain other characteristics, investment strategy and policy (“Comparable Accounts”), (2) the Peer Funds, and (3) an index of CLO debt securities deemed relevant by the Adviser. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation of the differences between the Company’s and the Peer Funds’ strategies and portfolios.. The Board also discussed and considered the Company’s recent performance in light of recent and current market conditions. The Board also noted certain distinguishing features between the Company, the Peer Funds and the Comparable Accounts.

 

Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was generally satisfied with, and that the Company should continue to benefit from, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Company by the Adviser.

 

Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Total Expense Ratio

 

The Board then reviewed and considered the advisory fee rate payable by the Company to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the total expense ratio of the Company. Additionally, the Board considered a comparison of the advisory fee rate and total expense ratio of the Company with those of the Peer Funds and the advisory fee rate of the Comparable Accounts.

 

Among other things, the Board considered the differences between the investment strategy of the Company and the strategy of each of the Comparable Accounts. The Board noted that the Company’s contractual management fee rate was lower than that of each of the Peer Funds that invest at least 75% of their assets in CLO securities (the “Close Peer Funds”) and the average contractual management fee of the Peer Funds. The Board considered that the Company’s gross and net expense ratios were lower than the average of the Close Peer Funds’ gross and net expense ratios. The Board further noted that the Company does not charge an incentive fee and that all of the Close Peer Funds’ charge an incentive fee.

 

The Board also noted that there were certain differences among the fee structures of the Company and each of the Comparable Accounts. The Board noted that while the Company’s advisory fee rate was higher than that of each of the Comparable Accounts, each of the Comparable Accounts is subject to an annual performance fee. The Board noted the Adviser’s explanation that such incentive fees could result in each of the Comparable Accounts having a higher effective aggregate fee rate than the Company. The Board considered that the different fee structures are driven by investor expectations for different account structures and regulatory and tax restrictions and additional costs related to the management of the Company as a publicly-traded registered fund.

 

In considering the advisory fee rate, the Board also discussed the Company’s use of leverage, including the Company’s issuance of preferred stock and borrowing under its credit facility. The Board noted that while the Adviser believes that the prudent use of leverage is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, the use of leverage has the impact of increasing the management fee rate paid by the Company as a percent of net assets because the Company’s management fees are based on total assets, including assets attributable to leverage (less certain accrued liabilities), and therefore may create a conflict of interest with the Company’s stockholders.

 

 

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each of the Company’s advisory fee rate and total expense ratio is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Company and other factors considered.

 

Profitability

 

The Board also considered a profitability analysis of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Company and the changes in such profitability over time. The Board concluded that, in light of the profitability information presented and other factors considered, the Adviser’s profitability was not excessive.

 

Economies of Scale

 

The Board considered information regarding whether the Investment Advisory Agreement adequately addresses economies of scale with respect to providing advisory services to the Company. The Board considered that, given (1) the complexity and time required to manage and monitor the types of CLO securities in which the Company invests, (2) the resource-intensive nature of acquiring and disposing of certain of the Company’s investments in the primary markets (particularly with respect to CLO equity and other negotiated investments), and (3) the limited size of individual CLO transactions, growth in the Company’s assets would be expected to require and had required additional investment resources, including personnel, and therefore generally would not meaningfully reduce the per unit cost of managing the portfolio. Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that the opportunity of the Company to realize significant economies of scale is limited and that the lack of breakpoints in the fee structure was appropriate given the Company’s investment objectives and strategies.

 

Other Benefits

 

The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Company. The Board considered the Adviser’s representation that these ancillary benefits could not be appropriately valued.

 

Based on the information reviewed and the discussions detailed above, the Board reached a determination, through the exercise of its business judgment, that the compensation payable to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Company by the Adviser and other factors considered.

The Company files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT.

General Description of Registrant [Abstract]
Risk Factors [Table Text Block]				Investment Risk Factors   The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the potential risks associated with the Company. The Company’s prospectus provides a detailed discussion of the Company’s risks and considerations. The risks described in the prospectus are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that are currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.   Risks of Investing in CLOs and Other Structured Debt Securities CLOs and other structured finance securities are generally backed by a pool of credit-related assets that serve as collateral. Accordingly, CLO and structured finance securities present risks similar to those of other types of credit investments, including default (credit), interest rate and prepayment risks. In addition, CLOs and other structured finance securities are often governed by a complex series of legal documents and contracts, which increases the risk of dispute over the interpretation and enforceability of such documents relative to other types of investments. There is also a risk that the trustee of a CLO does not properly carry out its duties to the CLO, potentially resulting in loss to the CLO. CLOs are also inherently leveraged vehicles and are subject to leverage risk.   Subordinated Securities Risk CLO junior debt and equity securities that the Company may acquire are subordinated to more senior tranches of CLO debt. CLO junior debt and equity securities are subject to increased risks of default relative to the holders of superior priority interests in the same CLO. In addition, at the time of issuance, CLO equity securities are under-collateralized in that the face amount of the CLO debt and CLO equity of a CLO at inception exceed its total assets. The Company will typically be in a subordinated or first loss position with respect to realized losses on the underlying assets held by the CLOs in which the Company is invested.   High-Yield Investment Risk The CLO junior debt and equity securities that the Company acquires are typically rated below investment grade or, in the case of CLO equity securities, unrated and are therefore considered “higher-yield” or “junk” securities and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. The senior secured loans and other credit-related assets underlying CLOs are also higher-yield investments. Investing in CLO junior debt and equity securities and other high-yield investments typically involves greater credit and liquidity risk than investment grade obligations, which may adversely impact the Company’s performance.   Leverage Risk The use of leverage, whether directly or indirectly through investments such as CLO junior debt and equity securities that inherently involve leverage, may magnify the Company’s risk of loss. CLO junior debt and equity securities are very highly leveraged (with CLO equity securities typically being leveraged ten times), and therefore the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to a higher degree of risk of loss since the use of leverage magnifies losses.   Credit Risk If (1) a CLO in which the Company invests, (2) an underlying asset of any such CLO or (3) any other type of credit investment in the Company’s portfolio declines in price or fails to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer or debtor, as the case may be, experiences a decline in its financial status, the Company’s income, net asset value (“NAV”) and/or market price would be adversely impacted.   Key Personnel Risk The Adviser manages our investments. Consequently, the Company’s success depends, in large part, upon the services of the Adviser (including Eagle Point Credit Management LLC, which provides the Adviser with investment professionals and other resources under a personnel and resources agreement) and the skill and expertise of the Adviser’s professional personnel. There can be no assurance that the professional personnel of the Adviser (or Eagle Point Credit Management LLC) will continue to serve in their current positions or continue to be employed by the Adviser. The Company can offer no assurance that their services will be available for any length of time or that the Adviser will continue indefinitely as the Company’s investment adviser.   Conflicts of Interest Risk The Company’s executive officers and directors, and the Adviser and certain of its affiliates and their officers and employees, including the members of the Investment Committee, have several conflicts of interest as a result of the other activities in which they engage.   Prepayment Risk  The assets underlying the CLO securities in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment by the underlying corporate borrowers. As such, the CLO securities and related investments in which the Company invests are subject to prepayment risk. If the Company or a CLO collateral manager are unable to reinvest prepaid amounts in a new investment with an expected rate of return at least equal to that of the investment repaid, the Company’s investment performance will be adversely impacted.   Liquidity Risk Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments in which the Company invests. As such, the Company may not be able to sell such investments quickly, or at all. If the Company is able to sell such investments, the prices the Company receives may not reflect the Adviser’s assessment of their fair value or the amount paid for such investments by the Company.   Management Fee Risk   The Company’s management fee structure may incentivize the Adviser to use leverage in a manner that adversely impacts the Company’s performance.   Fair Valuation of the Company’s Portfolio Investments Generally, there is no public market for the CLO investments and certain other credit assets in which the Company may invest. The Adviser values these securities at least quarterly, or more frequently as may be required from time to time, at fair value. The Adviser’s determinations of the fair value of the Company’s investments have a material impact on the Company’s net earnings through the recording of unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and may cause the Company’s NAV on a given date to understate or overstate, possibly materially, the value that the Company ultimately realizes on one or more of the Company’s investments.   Limited Investment Opportunities Risk The market for CLO securities is more limited than the market for other credit related investments. The Company can offer no assurances that sufficient investment opportunities for the Company’s capital will be available. In recent years there has been a marked increase in the number of, and flow of capital into, investment vehicles established to pursue investments in CLO securities whereas the size of this market is relatively limited. While the Company cannot determine the precise effect of such competition, such increase may result in greater competition for investment opportunities, which may result in an increase in the price of such investments relative to the risk taken on by holders of such investments. Such competition may also result under certain circumstances in increased price volatility or decreased liquidity with respect to certain positions.   Market Risk Political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Company’s investments. A disruption or downturn in the capital markets and the credit markets could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital, reduce the availability of suitable investment opportunities for the Company, or adversely and materially affect the value of the Company’s investments, any of which would negatively affect the Company’s business. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain, and could affect companies worldwide.   Loan Accumulation Facilities Risk The Company may invest in LAFs, which are short to medium term facilities often provided by the bank that will serve as placement agent or arranger on a CLO transaction and which acquire loans on an interim basis which are expected to form part of the portfolio of a future CLO. Investments in LAFs have risks similar to those applicable to investments in CLOs. Leverage is typically utilized in such a facility and as such the potential risk of loss will be increased for such facilities employing leverage. In the event a planned CLO is not consummated, or the loans are not eligible for purchase by the CLO, the Company may be responsible for either holding or disposing of the loans. This could expose the Company to credit and/or mark-to-market losses, and other risks.   Synthetic Investments Risk The Company may invest in synthetic investments, such as significant risk transfer securities and credit risk transfer securities issued by banks or other financial institutions, or acquire interests in lease agreements that have the general characteristics of loans and are treated as loans for withholding tax purposes. In addition to the credit risks associated with the applicable reference assets, the Company will usually have a contractual relationship only with the counterparty of such synthetic investment, and not with the reference obligor of the reference asset. Accordingly, the Company generally will have no right to directly enforce compliance by the reference obligor with the terms of the reference asset nor will it have any rights of setoff against the reference obligor or rights with respect to the reference asset. The Company will not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the reference asset and will not have the benefit of the remedies that would normally be available to a holder of such reference asset. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of the counterparty, the Company may be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the reference asset.   Currency Risk   Although the Company primarily makes investments denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company may make investments denominated in other currencies. The Company’s investments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be subject to the risk that the value of such currency will decrease in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Company may or may not hedge currency risk.   Hedging Risk Hedging transactions seeking to reduce risks may result in poorer overall performance than if the Company had not engaged in such hedging transactions. Additionally, such transactions may not fully hedge the Company’s risks.   Reinvestment Risk   CLOs will typically generate cash from asset repayments and sales that may be reinvested in substitute assets, subject to compliance with applicable investment tests. If the CLO collateral manager causes the CLO to purchase substitute assets at a lower yield than those initially acquired or sale proceeds are maintained temporarily in cash, it would reduce the excess interest-related cash flow, thereby having a negative effect on the fair value of the Company’s assets and the market value of the Company’s securities. In addition, the reinvestment period for a CLO may terminate early, which would cause the holders of the CLO’s securities to receive principal payments earlier than anticipated. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to reinvest such amounts in an alternative investment that provides a comparable return relative to the credit risk assumed.   Interest Rate Risk The price of certain of the Company’s investments may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, including recent increases in interest rates. Although senior secured loans are generally floating rate instruments, the Company’s investments in senior secured loans through investments in junior equity and debt tranches of CLOs are sensitive to interest rate levels and volatility. For example, because CLO debt securities are floating rate securities, a reduction in interest rates would generally result in a reduction in the coupon payment and cash flow the Company receives on the Company’s CLO debt investments. Further, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, loan defaults may increase and result in credit losses that may adversely affect the Company’s cash flow, fair value of the Company’s assets and operating results. Because CLOs generally issue debt on a floating rate basis, an increase in the relevant benchmark index will increase the financing costs of CLOs.   Refinancing Risk If the Company incurs debt financing and subsequently refinances such debt, the replacement debt may be at a higher cost and on less favorable terms and conditions. If the Company fails to extend, refinance or replace such debt financings prior to their maturity on commercially reasonable terms, the Company’s liquidity will be lower than it would have been with the benefit of such financings, which would limit the Company’s ability to grow, and holders of the Company’s common stock would not benefit from the potential for increased returns on equity that incurring leverage creates.   Tax Risk If the Company fails to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code for any reason, or otherwise becomes subject to corporate income tax, the resulting corporate taxes (and any related penalties) could substantially reduce the Company’s net assets, the amount of income available for distributions to the Company’s stockholders, and the amount of income available for payment of the Company’s other liabilities.   Counterparty Risk The Company may be exposed to counterparty risk, which could make it difficult for the Company or the issuers in which the Company invests to collect on obligations, thereby resulting in potentially significant losses.   Price Risk  Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.   Global Risks Due to highly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value of the Company’s securities and its underlying investments may go up or down in response to governmental actions and/or general economic conditions throughout the world. Events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats could also significantly impact the Company and its investments.   Banking Risk  The possibility of future bank failures poses risks of reduced financial market liquidity at clearing, cash management and other custodial financial institutions. The failure of banks which hold cash on behalf of the Company, the Company's underlying obligors, the collateral managers of the CLOs in which the Company invests (or managers of other securitized or pooled vehicles in which the Company invests), or the Company’s service providers could adversely affect the Company’s ability to pursue its investment strategies and objectives. For example, if an underlying obligor has a commercial relationship with a bank that has failed or is otherwise distressed, such company may experience delays or other disruptions in meeting its obligations and consummating business transactions. Additionally, if a collateral manager has a commercial relationship with a distressed bank, the manager may experience issues conducting its operations or consummating transactions on behalf of the CLOs it manages, which could negatively affect the performance of such CLOs (and, therefore, the performance of the Company).

[1] The asset coverage per unit figure is the ratio of the Company’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate dollar amount of senior securities, as calculated separately for each of the Preferred Stock and Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with section 18(h) of the 1940 Act. With respect to the Preferred Stock, the asset coverage per unit figure is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per share of outstanding preferred stock (based on a per share liquidation preference of $25). With respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the asset coverage per unit figure is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per $1,000 of indebtedness. [2] The involuntary liquidating preference per unit is the amount to which a share of Preferred Stock would be entitled in preference to any security junior to it upon our involuntary liquidation. [3] The average market value per unit is calculated by taking the average of the closing price of the Series A Term Preferred Stock (NYSE: EICA), Series B Term Preferred Stock (NYSE: EICB), and Series C Term Preferred Stock (NYSE: EICC).
