Priority Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment management company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, as a secondary objective, long-term capital appreciation. We expect to seek to achieve our investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of our total assets in senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in limited circumstances, unrated, which we collectively refer to as “Senior Secured Loans,” with an emphasis on current income. Our investments may take the form of the purchase of Senior Secured Loans (either in the primary or secondary markets) or through investments in the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) vehicles that in turn own pools of Senior Secured Loans. The Company intends to invest in both the primary and secondary markets.

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

We are pleased to present this annual report of Priority Income Fund, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company”, the “Fund” or “Priority”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Priority has provided its shareholders cash distributions each month for over nine years, and recently increased its quarterly bonus distributions to shareholders for the eleventh time since August 2020.

Priority paid shareholders an annualized dividend yield of 10.64%, based on the June 30, 2023 “Class R Shares” offering price of $12.64, 11.32% based on the June 30, 2023 “Class RIA Shares” offering price of $11.88, and 11.41% based on the June 30, 2023 “Class I Shares” offering price of $11.79.

Priority Update

Priority Income Fund’s growing shareholder distributions continued to more than offset changes in NAV per share between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023, and Priority Income Fund ended the fiscal year with a positive total return of 6.14% based on final net asset value per share of $11.31 assuming reinvestment of all shareholder distributions. Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share decreased by 6% between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023, moving from $12.04 to $11.31, but has remained stable in the two months following fiscal year-end. Considering that loan default rates in Priority Income Fund and the loan market overall continued to remain below historical averages, we believe the decline in NAV was primarily due to market yields for CLO equity and debt widening with the overall increase in prevailing interest rates.

Annualized dividend yields continued to exceed the Fund’s targeted performance objectives and increased by 6.97% year-over-year based on the June 30, 2023 “Class R Shares” offering price of $12.64, 6.94% year-over-year based on the June 30, 2023 “Class RIA Shares” offering price of $11.88, and 6.90% year-over-year based on the June 30, 2023 “Class I Shares” offering price of $11.79.

Since our semi-annual shareholder letter for the period ended December 2022, we have continued to implement Priority’s strategy of targeting attractive risk-adjusted investments in CLO debt and equity that further our primary objective of providing our shareholders with current income.

Priority is pleased to report the following accomplishments for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023:

–Priority invested in (i) six equity investments totaling $18.9 million in cost basis and (ii) 34 debt investments totaling $79.9 million in cost basis. Priority sold one debt investment totaling $1.0 million in cost basis. The Fund continues to focus on identifying attractive investments consistent with the Fund’s strategy and accretive to solid risk-adjusted historical performance.
–The Fund successfully raised $147.9 million during the fiscal year-ended June 30, 2023, outperforming its fundraising efforts for the fiscal year-ended June 30, 2022 by $44.0 million, or over 42%.
–Since inception in January 2014 through June 30, 2023, Priority has outperformed the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index and the Credit Suisse Leverage Loan Index.
–In September 2022, Priority closed on a $40 million senior secured revolving credit facility, refinancing the previously existing $35 million facility, and subsequently exercised the accordion feature to increase the facility size to $75 million. In addition to increasing the Fund’s access to liquidity, the facility enhances the Fund’s financial flexibility with a longer maturity and lower drawn and undrawn interest rates.



2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            5                             

Furthermore, Priority benefitted from certain strategic portfolio management decisions and market conditions that proved accretive to the Fund’s historical strategy and performance:

–Opportunistic buying of CLO debt tranches rated at inception as ‘BB’ investments by rating agencies that include S&P, Moody’s, and Fitch, with a weighted average discount from par of over 13% and weighted average underwritten internal rates of return in line with the Fund’s target returns.
–Prudent risk management with a reduction in Fund level leverage during the year.
–Market volatility in 2022 and 2023 that allowed Priority to achieve equity-like returns in CLO debt tranches, increasing the Fund’s resistance to defaults while also creating an opportunity to build NAV given our purchases of these debt investments were made significantly below par. We anticipate continuing to grow our CLO debt book should the discounted opportunity persist in the current fiscal year.

CLO Market Commentary

The Russia/Ukraine war, inflationary pressures, regional bank turmoil, and the corresponding Fed response introduced volatility which began in 2022 and persisted throughout the first half of 2023. Despite slowing from its 2021 peak of $187.5 billion1, market CLO issuance has remained robust by historical standards at $56.0 billion1 for the first half of 2023. Furthermore, CLOs represented 69%1 of the buyer base in the institutional Senior Secured Loan market for fiscal year 2023, highlighting the importance of the CLO market.

CLO research analysts are projecting calendar year 2023 CLO issuance totaling:
–Barclays: $105 billion2
–Citigroup: $95 billion3
–JP Morgan: $100 billion4
–Morgan Stanley: $100 billion5
–Nomura: $90 billion6

Secondary CLO trading exhibited volatility during fiscal year 2023, with CLO BB debt trading in an 8.5-point range, from a high index price of 90.08 on August 19, 2022, to a trough index price of 81.59 on October 13, 20227, even though such assets pay floating rate interest that increased dramatically throughout the year. The index ended at 87.03 on June 30, 2023. Other parts of CLO capital structures exhibited heightened price and spread volatility as well2.

We believe the widening of CLO liabilities contributed to a decline in CLO refinance and reset activity in 2022 after a fast-paced 2021. This trend continued to be the case in 2023. A CLO refinancing is an occurrence where all or part of the CLO liabilities are refinanced at a lower spread without a change in CLO maturity. A CLO reset is an occurrence where all of the CLO liabilities are refinanced, and the CLO reinvestment period is extended typically by two to five years.

Looking ahead to the second half of 2023, we expect the macroeconomic picture to remain uncertain, with defaults likely to continue increasing from historically low levels. While that may put some pressure on the loan and CLO markets, we also anticipate such factors to present enhanced opportunities for Priority to invest at discounted prices.

In addition, we believe that long-term fundamentals for the investments held by Priority remain attractive: (1) Priority continued to increase its number of investments with 215 investments as of June, 30, 2023 (the highest count achieved to date), (2) Priority’s portfolio’s trailing twelve month (“TTM”) default rate as of June 30, 2023 stood at an historically below average 1.50%, and (3) we believe CLO managers will be able to capitalize on loan price volatility to increase portfolio spreads and buy loans at discounted prices.

Dividend Policy

To qualify for U.S federal income tax treatment as a regulated investment company, the Company is required to pay out distributions as determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations. In certain periods, we expect the income distributable pursuant to these regulations, which we refer to as distributable income, to be higher or lower than our reportable accounting income. In addition to net investment income, our dividend policy considers in part our estimate of our distributable income, which includes (1) interest income from our underlying collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) debt and equity

PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            6                             

investments, (2) recognition of certain mark-to-market gains or losses to the extent that the fair market value of our CLO investments is determined to deviate from its adjusted tax basis, and (3) acceleration of unamortized fees and expenses following the refinancing or reset of a CLO’s liabilities. As a result, distributable income may differ from accounting income, as expressed by net investment income. Our distributions may exceed our earnings, and portions of the distributions that we make may therefore be a return of the money that you originally invested and represent a return of capital to you for tax purposes.

We would like to express our gratitude to both our new and long-term shareholders for their continued support of Priority Income Fund’s investment thesis and hope to continue to realize our goal to create further value for the Fund’s shareholders.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer


Disclosures

The Senior Secured Loans in which we invest are made primarily to U.S. companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in some circumstances, unrated. These investments, which are often referred to as “junk” or “high yield,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be difficult to value and illiquid.

Fund Performance
PRISFundPerformance06.30.23.jpg
Comparison of change in value of a $10,000 investment in Priority Income Fund with a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, and S&P 500® Index.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Current and future results may be lower or higher than those shown. The results shown are before taxes on fund distributions and sale of fund shares.

The above graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in Priority Income Fund on 1/6/14 (inception date) to a hypothetical investment of $10,000 made in the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, Credit Suisse Leverage Loan Index, and S&P 500® Index on that date. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

The fund’s performance shown in the line graph above takes into account the maximum initial sales charge on Class R shares. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and non-agency). The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index tracks the investable market of the U.S. dollar denominated leveraged loan market. It consists of issues rated “5B” or lower, meaning that the highest rated issues included in this index are Moody’s/S&P ratings of Baa1/BB+ or Ba1/BBB+. All loans are funded term loans with a tenor of at least one year and are made by issuers domiciled in developed countries. The S&P 500® Index is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. The Index includes 500 leading companies and captures approximately 80% coverage of available market capitalization. Investors cannot invest directly in any index. These factors can contribute to the indices potentially outperforming the Fund. Further information relating to fund performance is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Priority Income Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2023, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and temporary equity for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in net assets and temporary equity for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2012.

(1) The Company does not "control" and is not an "affiliate" of any of the portfolio investments, each term as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). In general, under the 1940 Act, the Company would be presumed to "control" a portfolio company if the Company owned 25% or more of its voting securities and would be an "affiliate" of a portfolio company if the Company owned 5% or more of its voting securities.
(2) The CLO subordinated notes, income notes and preferred shares are considered equity positions in the CLOs. The CLO equity investments are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the excess cash flow generated from the underlying investments after payment of the contractual payments to senior debt holders and CLO expenses. The current estimated yield, calculated using amortized cost, is based on the current projections of this excess cash flow taking into account assumptions which have been made regarding expected prepayments, losses and future reinvestment rates. These assumptions are periodically reviewed and adjusted. Ultimately, the actual yield may be higher or lower than the estimated yield if actual results differ from those used for the assumptions.
(3) Fair value is determined by or under the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors. For intra-quarter end periods, the Company’s Board of Directors has designated the Advisor to fair value the Company’s investments. As of June 30, 2023, all of the Company’s investments were classified as Level 3. ASC 820 classifies such unobservable inputs used to measure fair value as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. See Notes 2 and 3 within the accompanying notes to financial statements for further discussion.
(4) The interest rate on these investments is subject to the base rate of 3-Month LIBOR or 3-Month Term SOFR, as specified, which was 5.54543% and 5.26836% at June 30, 2023, respectively. The current base rates for each investment may be different from the reference rates on June 30, 2023.
(5) The securities in which the Company has invested were acquired in transactions that were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These securities may be resold only in transactions that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
(6) The effective yield has been estimated to be 0% as expected future cash flows are anticipated to not be sufficient to repay the investment at cost. If the expected investment proceeds increase, there is a potential for future investment income from the investment. Distributions, once received, will be recognized as return of capital, and when called, any remaining unamortized investment costs will be written off if the actual distributions are less than the amortized investment cost. To the extent that the cost basis of the senior secured notes is fully recovered, any future distributions will be recorded as realized gains.
(7) Security was called for redemption and the liquidation of the underlying loan portfolio is ongoing.
(8) This investment has contractual payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. PIK interest computed at the contractual rate is accrued into income and reflected as receivable up to the capitalization date.
(9) All investments are pledged as collateral for the Credit Facility (see Note 11).
See accompanying notes to financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2023

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization
Priority Income Fund, Inc., (the “Company,” “us,” “our,” or “we”) was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on July 19, 2012 as an externally managed, nondiversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and commenced operations on May 9, 2013. In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income, and as a secondary objective, long-term capital appreciation. We seek to achieve our investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, in senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in limited circumstances, unrated (“Senior Secured Loans”) with an emphasis on current income. Our investments may take the form of the purchase of Senior Secured Loans (either in the primary or secondary markets) or through investments in the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) vehicles that in turn own pools of Senior Secured Loans. The Company intends to invest in both the primary and secondary markets.

The Company is managed by Priority Senior Secured Income Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), which is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser is 50% owned by Prospect Capital Management, L.P. (“PCM”) and 50% by Stratera Holdings, LLC (“Stratera Holdings”).

The Company is offering up to 100,000,000 shares of its common stock, on a best efforts basis. The Company commenced the offering on May 9, 2013, at an initial offering price of $15.00 per share, for an initial offering period of 36 months from the date of the commencement of the offering. On January 6, 2014, the Company satisfied its minimum offering requirement by raising over $2.5 million from selling shares to persons not affiliated with the Company or the Adviser (the “Minimum Offering Requirement”), and as a result, broke escrow and commenced making investments.

On February 9, 2016 the Company’s Board of Directors the (the “Board”) approved an 18-month extension to the offering period for the sale of the Company’s common shares through November 9, 2017. Subsequently, on May 30, 2017, the Board approved a continuation of the offering for an additional two years, extending the offering period for the sale of shares through November 2, 2019. On November 25, 2019, the Board approved an additional 18-month continuous public offering period through July 23, 2021. On April 30, 2021, the Board approved a continuation of the offering through December 31, 2022. On November 3, 2022, the Board approved an extension of the offering until the date upon which 150,000,000 common shares have been sold in the course of our offerings, unless terminated or further extended or increased by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion.

On December 21, 2018 the Board approved a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, to acquire Stira Alcentra Global Credit Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (“Stira Alcentra”), in a common stock transaction (the “Stira Alcentra Acquisition”). The transaction was treated as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The transaction was completed on May 10, 2019.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form N-CSR, ASC 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the presentation of prior financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the presentation as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income, expenses and gains (losses) during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

Cash and Restricted Cash
Cash held at financial institutions, has exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limit. The Company has not incurred any losses on these accounts, and the credit risk exposure is mitigated by the financial strength of the banking institutions where the amounts are held. The Company has restrictions on the uses of the cash held based on the terms of the Facility (as defined in Note 11). Cash and restricted cash are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Investment Risks
Our investments are subject to a variety of risks. Those risks include the following:

Market Risk
Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the fair value of the financial instrument.

Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the risk that we would incur if the counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the terms of their agreements with us.

Credit Spread Risk
Credit spread risk represents the risk that with higher interest rates comes a higher risk of defaults.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk represents the possibility that we may not be able to rapidly adjust the size of our investment positions in times of high volatility and financial stress at a reasonable price.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk represents a change in interest rates, which could result in an adverse change in the fair value of an interest-bearing financial instrument.

Prepayment Risk
Many of our debt investments allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Downward changes in interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a faster than expected rate, thereby effectively shortening the maturity of the security and making us less likely to fully earn all of the expected income of that security and reinvesting in a lower yielding instrument.

Downgrade Risk
Downgrade risk results when rating agencies lower their rating on a bond which are usually accompanied by bond price declines.

Default Risk
Default risk is the risk that a borrower will be unable to make the required payments on their debt obligation.

Structured Credit Related Risk
CLO investments may be riskier and less transparent to us than direct investments in underlying companies. CLOs typically will have no significant assets other than their underlying senior secured loans. Therefore, payments on CLO investments are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such senior secured loans.    

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical and other events, such as war (including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine), terrorist attacks, public health crises and natural or environmental disasters, may disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Those events, as well as other changes in non-U.S. and U.S. economic and political conditions, could adversely affect the value of the Company’s investments.

Economic Recessions Risk
Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio investments and adversely affect our operating results.

Investments Transactions
Investments are recognized when we assume an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assume the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Investments are derecognized when we assume an obligation to sell a financial instrument and forego the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Specifically, we record all security transactions on a trade date

basis and changes in fair value are recognized in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the Statement of Operations. Realized gains or losses on investments are calculated by using the specific identification method.

Investment Valuation
The Company follows guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"), which classifies the inputs used to measure fair values into the following hierarchy:

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities on an inactive market, or other observable inputs other than quoted prices.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each investment.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at such market quotations and are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

U.S. government securities for which market quotations are available are valued at a price provided by an independent pricing agent or primary dealer. The pricing agent or primary dealer provides these prices usually after evaluating inputs including yield curves, credit rating, yield spreads, default rates, cash flows, broker quotes and reported trades. U.S. government securities are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act which established a consistent, principles-based framework for boards of directors to use in creating their own specific processes in order to determine fair values in good faith. Rule 2a-5's adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures as our Board of Directors has chosen to continue to determine fair value in good faith for quarter end valuations. The Board of Directors has designated the Adviser as Valuation Designee for intra-quarter investment valuations.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, the Board has approved a multi-step valuation process for each quarter, as described below, and such investments are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:

1.Each portfolio investment is reviewed by investment professionals of the Adviser with the independent valuation firm engaged by the Board.
2.The independent valuation firm prepares independent valuations based on its own independent assessments and issues its report.
3.The Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) reviews and discusses with the independent valuation firm the valuation report, and then makes a recommendation to the Board of the value for each investment.
4.The Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of such investments in the Company’s portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Adviser, the independent valuation firm and the Audit Committee.

For intra-quarter periods and pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) for the purpose of performing fair value determinations for investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value. The Board has approved a multi-step valuation process for such intra-quarter investment valuations, as described below, and such investments are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:

1.Each portfolio investment is reviewed by investment professionals of the Adviser with the independent valuation firm engaged by the Board.
2.The independent valuation firm prepares independent valuations based on its own independent assessments and issues its report.
3.The Adviser, as the Company’s Valuation Designee, reviews and approves the independent valuation firm’s valuation report.


2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            28                             


Our investments in CLOs are classified as Level 3 fair value measured securities under ASC 820 and are valued using a discounted multi-path cash flow model. The CLO structures are analyzed to identify the risk exposures and to determine an appropriate call date (i.e., expected maturity). These risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations, which is a simulation used to model the probability of different outcomes, to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows from the underlying assets and liabilities. These cash flows are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market as well as certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment. In addition, we generate a single-path cash flow utilizing our best estimate of expected cash receipts, and assess the reasonableness of the implied discount rate that would be effective for the value derived from the multi-path cash flows. We are not responsible for and have no influence over the asset management of the portfolios underlying the CLO investments we hold, as those portfolios are managed by non-affiliated third-party CLO collateral managers. The main risk factors are default risk, prepayment risk, interest rate risk, downgrade risk, and credit spread risk.

The types of factors that are taken into account in fair value determination include, as relevant, market changes in expected returns for similar investments, performance improvement or deterioration, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the issuer’s ability to make payments and its earnings and cash flows, the markets in which the issuer does business, comparisons to traded securities, and other relevant factors.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income - Equity Class
Interest income from investments in the “equity” positions of CLOs (typically income notes, subordinated notes or preferred shares) is recorded based on an estimation of an effective yield to expected maturity utilizing assumed future cash flows. The Company monitors the expected cash inflows from CLO equity investments, including the expected residual payments, and the estimated effective yield is updated periodically.

Interest Income - Debt Class
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis using the contractual rate applicable to each debt investment and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on securities purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Generally, if the Company does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Company will, on a discretionary basis, place the debt instrument on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. Unpaid accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are either applied to the cost basis or interest income, depending upon the Fund’s judgment of the collectibility of the loan receivable. The Company generally restores non-accrual loans to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in the Fund’s judgment, the payments are likely to remain current. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had no non-accrual investments in its portfolio.

Paid-In-Kind Interest
The Company has certain investments in its portfolio that contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provision, which represents contractual interest or dividends that are added to the principal balance and recorded as income. For the year ended June 30, 2023, PIK interest included in interest income totaled $217,730. For the year ended June 30, 2023, $752,153 of previous PIK interest was repaid which reduced the principal balance. The Company stops accruing PIK interest when it is determined that PIK interest is no longer collectible. To maintain RIC tax treatment, and to avoid corporate tax, substantially all of this income must be paid out to the stockholders in the form of distributions, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.

Preferred Stock
The Company carries its mandatorily redeemable Term Preferred Stock (as defined in “Note 7. Mandatorily Redeemable and Cumulative Preferred Stock”) at accreted cost on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and not fair value. Refer to “Note 7. Mandatorily Redeemable and Cumulative Preferred Stock” for further details. In accordance with ASC 480-10-25, the Company's Term Preferred Stock has been classified as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends on its Term Preferred Stock (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are accrued monthly and paid quarterly. Unpaid dividends relating to the Term Preferred Stock are included in preferred dividend payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and preferred dividend expense on the Statement of Operations. Deferred offering costs and deferred issuance costs are amortized and are included in Preferred dividend expense on the Statement of Operations over the term of the respective shares.



2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            29                             

In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the Company’s Cumulative Preferred Stock (as defined in “Note 7. Mandatorily Redeemable and Cumulative Preferred Stock”) has been classified in temporary equity on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities due to the possibility of a change of control triggering event that could lead to redemption outside of the Company’s control. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is recorded net of offering costs and issuance costs. Unpaid dividends relating to the Cumulative Preferred Stock are included in cumulative preferred stock on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends declared on the Cumulative Preferred Stock are included in dividends declared on Cumulative Preferred Stock on the Statement of Operations. Dividends on Cumulative Preferred Stock are accrued monthly and paid quarterly. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not adjusted to its redemption amount as it is not probable it will be redeemed as it has not reached its optional redemption date.

Asset Coverage Requirement
As a registered closed-end investment company, the Company is required to comply with the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Company may not issue additional preferred stock if immediately after such issuance the Company will not have an asset coverage of at least 200% (defined as the ratio of the Company’s gross assets (less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities) to its outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness, plus the aggregate involuntary liquidation preference of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock). If the value of our assets declines, we may be unable to satisfy this test. If that happens, we may be required to sell a portion of our investments and, depending on the nature of our leverage, repay a portion of our indebtedness or redeem outstanding shares of preferred stock, in each case at a time when doing so may be disadvantageous. Also, any amounts that we use to service our indebtedness or preferred dividends would not be available for distributions to our preferred stockholders. Further, the Company may be restricted from making distributions to holders of the Company’s common stock if the Company does not have asset coverage of at least 200%. As a result of issuing senior securities, we would also be exposed to typical risks associated with leverage, including an increased risk of loss.

With respect to senior securities representing indebtedness, such as the senior unsecured notes 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%, immediately after such issuance or borrowing, and calculated as the ratio of the Company’s gross assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Company’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness.

Common Stock Offering Costs
Common stock offering costs are capitalized to deferred common stock offering costs on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized to expense over the 12 month period following such capitalization on a straight line basis.

Common stock offering expenses consist of costs for the registration, certain marketing and distribution of the Company’s common shares. These expenses include, but are not limited to, expenses for legal, accounting, printing and certain marketing, and include salaries and direct expenses of the Adviser’s employees, employees of its affiliates and others for providing these services.

Due to Adviser
Amounts due to our Adviser consist of base management fees, incentive fees, routine non-compensation overhead, and operating expenses and offering expenses paid on behalf of the Company. All balances due to the Adviser are settled quarterly.

Deferred Issuance Costs on Mandatorily Redeemable Term Preferred Stock
Deferred issuance costs on Term Preferred Stock consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of Term Preferred Stock offerings, and are capitalized at the time of payment. These costs are amortized using the effective yield method over the term of the respective preferred stock series. This amortization expense is included in interest expense in the Company’s financial statements. Upon early termination of Term Preferred Stock, the remaining balance of unamortized fees related to such debt is accelerated into realized loss on redemption of term preferred stock on the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Financing Costs
The Company records origination expenses related to the Facility (as defined in Note 11) as deferred financing costs. These expenses are deferred and amortized as part of interest expense using the effective interest method over the stated life of the obligation for the Facility. Debt issuance costs and origination discounts related to the 2035 Notes (as defined in Note 12) are presented net against the outstanding principal of the respective instrument and amortized as part of interest expense using the effective interest method over the stated life of the respective instrument. In the event that we modify or extinguish our debt before maturity, we follow the guidance in ASC 470-50, Modification and Extinguishments (“ASC 470-50”). For


2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            30                             

extinguishments of the Facility or the 2035 Notes, any unamortized deferred costs are recognized as a realized loss on extinguishment of debt.

Dividends and Distributions
Dividends and distributions to common stockholders, which are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, are recorded on the record date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is approved by the Board. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.

Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes and intends to comply with the requirement of the Code applicable to RICs. In order to continue to qualify for RIC tax treatment among other things, the Company is required to timely distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (the “Annual Distribution Requirement”) and intends to distribute all of the Company’s investment company taxable income and net capital gain to common stockholders; therefore, the Company has made no provision for income taxes. The character of income and gains that the Company will distribute is determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from U.S. GAAP. Book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder dividends and distributions and other permanent book and tax differences are reclassified to paid-in capital.

As of June 30, 2023, the cost basis of investments for tax purposes was $938,000,974 resulting in an estimated net realized depreciation of $(38,791,181). The gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation as of June 30, 2023 were $56,126,769 and $(94,917,950), respectively.

If the Company does not distribute (or is not deemed to have distributed) at least (1) 98% of its calendar year ordinary income; (2) 98.2% of its capital gains for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year; and (3) any ordinary net income and capital gains net income recognized in preceding years, but were not distributed during such years, and on which the Company paid no corporate-level U.S. federal income tax, the Company will generally be required to pay a nondeductible U.S. federal excise tax equal to 4% of such excess amounts. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current calendar year taxable income will be in excess of estimated current calendar year dividend distributions from such taxable income, the Company accrues excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income. As of June 30, 2023, the Company expects to have, and has accrued an excise tax due for the 2023 calendar year of $110,921.

If the Company fails to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement or otherwise fails to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, the Company would be subject to tax on all of its taxable income at regular corporate rates. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions to common stockholders, nor would the Company be required to make distributions. Distributions would generally be taxable to the Company’s individual and other non-corporate taxable common stockholders as ordinary dividend income eligible for the reduced maximum rate applicable to qualified dividend income to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, provided certain holding period and other requirements are met. Subject to certain limitations under the Code, corporate distributions would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. To qualify again to be taxed as a RIC in a subsequent year, the Company would be required to distribute to its common stockholders the Company’s accumulated earnings and profits attributable to non-RIC years reduced by an interest charge of 50% of such earnings and profits payable by us as an additional tax. In addition, if the Company failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, then, in order to qualify as a RIC in a subsequent year, the Company would be required to elect to recognize and pay tax on any net built-in gain (the excess of aggregate gain, including items of income, over aggregate loss that would have been realized if the Company had been liquidated) or, alternatively, be subject to taxation on such built-in gain recognized for a period of five years.

The Company follows ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. As of June 30, 2023 and for the year then ended, the Company did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. Management has analyzed the Company’s positions taken and expected to be taken on its income tax returns for all open tax years and for the year ended June 30, 2023, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2023, no provision for uncertain tax position is required in the Company’s financial statements. Our determinations regarding ASC 740 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. All federal and state income tax returns for each tax year in the three-year period ended June 30, 2023 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The standard is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024, as updated by ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 in December 2022. The Company did not utilize the optional expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 during the twelve months ended June 30, 2023. The Company will adopt the above referenced optional expedients and exceptions in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and adoption will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 establishes a consistent, principles-based framework for boards of directors to use in creating their own specific processes in order to determine fair values in good faith. The effective date for compliance with Rule 2a-5 was September 8, 2022. Adoption of Rule 2a-5 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures as our Board of Directors has chosen to continue to determine fair value in good faith for quarter end valuations. The Board of Directors has designated the Adviser as Valuation Designee for intra-quarter investment valuations.

Note 3. Portfolio Investments
Purchases of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) for the year ended June 30, 2023 were $98,775,014. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized realized gains of $9,271 from an investment which has been called. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold one investment resulting in a realized gain of $44,066. The Company received $163,896 from liquidating payments on investments that were written-off for tax purposes, which resulted in realized gains.

(1) Excludes investments that have been called for redemption or are currently marked to zero fair market value.
(2) Represents the implied discount rate based on our internally generated single-path cash flows that are derived from the fair value estimated by the corresponding multi-path cash flow model utilized by the independent valuation firm.
In determining the range of values for our investments in CLOs, the independent valuation firm uses a discounted multi-path cash flow model. The valuations were accomplished through the analysis of the CLO deal structures to identify the risk exposures from the modeling point of view as well as to determine an appropriate call date (i.e., expected maturity). These risk factors are sensitized in the multi-path cash flow model using Monte Carlo simulations to generate probability-weighted (i.e., multi-path) cash flows for the underlying assets and liabilities. These cash flows are discounted using appropriate market discount rates, and relevant data in the CLO market and certain benchmark credit indices are considered, to determine the value of each CLO investment. In addition, we generate a single-path cash flow utilizing our best estimate of expected cash receipts, and assess the reasonableness of the implied discount rate that would be effective for the value derived from the corresponding multi-path cash flow model.

The significant unobservable input used to value the CLOs is the discount rate applied to the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which includes both future principal and interest payments. Included in the consideration and selection of the discount rate are the following factors: risk of default, comparable investments, and call provisions. An increase or decrease in the discount rate applied to projected cash flows, where all other inputs remain constant, would result in a decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value measurement.

The Company is not responsible for and has no influence over the management of the portfolios underlying the CLO investments the Company holds as those portfolios are managed by non-affiliated third party CLO collateral managers. CLO investments may be riskier and less transparent to the Company than direct investments in underlying companies. CLOs typically will have no significant assets other than their underlying senior secured loans. Therefore, payments on CLO investments are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such senior secured loans. 

The Company’s portfolio primarily consists of residual interests investments in CLOs, which involve a number of significant risks. CLOs are typically highly levered (10 - 14 times), and therefore the residual interest tranches that the Company invests in are subject to a higher degree of risk of total loss. In particular, investors in CLO residual interests indirectly bear risks of the underlying loan investments held by such CLOs. The Company generally has the right to receive payments only from the CLOs, and generally do not have direct rights against the underlying borrowers or the entity that sponsored the CLO. While the CLOs the Company targets generally enable the investor to acquire interests in a pool of senior loans without the expenses associated with directly holding the same investments, the Company’s prices of indices and securities underlying CLOs will rise or fall. These prices (and, therefore, the values of the CLOs) will be influenced by the same types of political and economic events that affect issuers of securities and capital markets generally. The failure by a CLO investment in which the Company invests to satisfy financial covenants, including with respect to adequate collateralization and/or interest coverage tests, could lead to reductions in its payments to the Company. In the event that a CLO fails certain tests, holders of debt senior to the Company may be entitled to additional payments that would, in turn, reduce the payments the Company would otherwise be entitled to receive. Separately, the Company may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting CLO or any other investment the Company may make. If any of these occur, it could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operating results and cash flows.

The interests the Company has acquired in CLOs are generally thinly traded or have only a limited trading market. CLOs are typically privately offered and sold, even in the secondary market. As a result, investments in CLOs may be characterized as illiquid securities. In addition to the general risks associated with investing in debt securities, CLO residual interests carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) the fact that the


2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            33                             

Company’s investments in CLO tranches will likely be subordinate to other senior classes of note tranches thereof; and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the CLO investment or unexpected investment results. The Company’s net asset value may also decline over time if the Company’s principal recovery with respect to CLO residual interests is less than the price that the Company paid for those investments. The Company’s CLO investments and/or the underlying senior secured loans may prepay more quickly than expected, which could have an adverse impact on its value.

An increase in interest rates could materially increase the CLO’s financing costs. Since most of the collateral positions within the CLOs have interest rate floors, there may not be corresponding increases in investment income (if interest rates increases but stays below the interest rate floor of such investments) resulting in materially smaller distribution payments to the residual interest investors.

The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a phase out of LIBOR such that after June 30, 2023, the overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings ceased to be published and are no longer representative. All other LIBOR settings and certain other interbank offered rates, such as the Euro Overnight Index Average, ceased to be published or representative after December 31, 2021. Secured Financial Overnight Rate (“SOFR”) is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities in the repurchase agreement market and has been used increasingly on a voluntary basis in new instruments and transactions. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted regulations implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act, which provides a statutory fallback mechanism to replace LIBOR, by identifying benchmark rates based on SOFR that will replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. Proposals for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication. Markets are in the process of developing in response to these new rates. Although financial regulators and industry working groups have suggested alternative reference rates, such as the European Interbank Offer Rate, the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate and SOFR, there has been no global consensus as to an alternative rate and the process for amending existing contracts or instruments to transition away from LIBOR remains incomplete.

If the Company owns more than 10% of the shares in a foreign corporation that is treated as a Controlled Foreign Corporation (“CFC”) (including residual interest tranche investments in a CLO investment treated as a CFC), for which the Company is treated as receiving a deemed distribution (taxable as ordinary income) each year from such foreign corporation in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the corporation’s income for the tax year (including both ordinary earnings and capital gains), the Company is required to include such deemed distributions from a CFC in its income and the Company is required to distribute such income to maintain its RIC tax treatment regardless of whether or not the CFC makes an actual distribution during such year.

The Company owns shares in Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFICs”) (including residual interest tranche investments in CLOs that are PFICs), therefore the Company may be subject to federal income tax on a portion of any “excess distribution” or gain from the disposition of such shares even if such income is distributed as a taxable dividend to its common stockholders. Certain elections may be available to mitigate or eliminate such tax on excess distributions, but such elections (if available) will generally require the Company to recognize its share of the PFICs income for each year regardless of whether the Company receives any distributions from such PFICs. The Company must nonetheless distribute at least 90% of such income to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC.

If the Company is required to include amounts in income prior to receiving distributions representing such income, the Company may have to sell some of its investments at times and/or at prices management would not consider advantageous, raise additional debt or equity capital or forgo new investment opportunities for this purpose. If the Company is not able to obtain cash from other sources, it may fail to qualify for RIC tax treatment and thus become subject to corporate-level income tax.

The Company’s portfolio is concentrated in CLO vehicles, which is subject to a risk of loss if that sector experiences a market downturn. The Company is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Company’s maximum risk of loss from credit risk for its portfolio investments is the inability of the CLO collateral managers to return up to the cost value due to defaults occurring in the underlying loans of the CLOs.

Investments in CLO residual interests generally offer less liquidity than other investment grade or high-yield corporate debt, and may be subject to certain transfer restrictions. The Company’s ability to sell certain investments quickly in response to changes in economic and other conditions and to receive a fair price when selling such investments may be limited, which could prevent the Company from making sales to mitigate losses on such investments. In addition, CLOs are subject to the possibility of liquidation upon an event of default of certain minimum required coverage ratios, which could result in full loss of value to the CLO residual interests and junior debt investors.


2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            34                             


The fair value of the Company’s investments may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates. The Company’s investments in senior secured loans through CLOs are sensitive to interest rate levels and volatility. In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, loan defaults may increase and result in credit losses which may adversely affect the Company’s cash flow, fair value of its investments and operating results. In the event of a declining interest rate environment, a faster than anticipated rate of prepayments is likely to result in a lower than anticipated yield.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the currently assigned valuations.

Note 4. Capital
The Company offers its shares of common stock with varying up-front sales loads and has elected to designate each level of sales load as a “class” solely as a means of identifying those differing sales loads and the different channels through which shares are sold. Shares available to the general public are charged selling commissions and dealer manager fees and are referred to as “Class R Shares”. Shares available to accounts managed by registered investment advisers are charged dealer manager fees but no selling commissions and are referred to as “Class RIA Shares”. Shares available for purchase through (1) fee-based programs, also known as wrap accounts, of investment dealers, (2) participating broker-dealers that have alternative fee arrangements with their clients, (3) certain registered investment advisors or (4) bank trust departments or any other organization or person authorized to act in a fiduciary capacity for its clients or customers are charged no selling commissions or dealer manager fees and are referred to as “Class I Shares.” Although the Company uses “Class” designations to indicate its differing sales load structures, the Company does not operate as a multi-class fund.

The Company’s authorized stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of stock, par value $0.01 per share, 50,000,000 of which are classified as preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, or “Preferred Stock” and 150,000,000 of which are classified as

Share Repurchase Program
The Company conducts quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company’s Board considers the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause us to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:
•the effect of such repurchases on our qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);
•the liquidity of the Company’s assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);
•the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements;
•the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company’s size;
•the Company’s history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof; and
•the condition of the securities markets.
The Company limits the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar quarter to up to 2.5% of the number of shares outstanding at the close of business on the last day of the prior fiscal year. At the discretion of the Company’s Board, the Company may use cash on hand, and cash from the sale of investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. The Company will offer to repurchase such shares at a price equal to the net asset value per share of our common stock specified in the tender offer. The Company’s Board may suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. The first such tender offer commenced in May 2015.

Note 5. Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Advisory Agreement
On May 9, 2013, the Company entered into an initial investment advisory agreement with the Adviser (the "Prior Advisory Agreement"). On May 30, 2019, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which stockholders voted to approve a new investment advisory agreement with the Adviser that is identical in all respects except for the date of effectiveness and the term to the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, which had terminated as a result of a technical “change in control” and “assignment” as such terms are defined under the 1940 Act. The Adviser manages the day-to-day investment operations of, and provides investment advisory services to, the Company. For providing these services, the Adviser is paid a base management fee and an incentive fee. The base management fee, payable quarterly in arrears, is calculated at an annual rate of 2.0% based on the average of the total assets as of the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The Company also pays routine non-compensation overhead expenses of the Adviser in an amount up to 0.0625% per quarter (0.25% annualized) of the Company’s average total assets. The incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees received) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses reimbursed under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the administration agreement and the investor services agreement, any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the organization and offering expenses and incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized


2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            37                             

capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to the preferred return rate of 1.5% per quarter (6.0% annualized). The Company pays the Adviser an incentive fee with respect to its pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the preferred return rate; (2) 100% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the preferred return rate but is less than 1.875% in any calendar quarter (7.5% annualized); and (3) 20.0% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 1.875% in any calendar quarter. These calculations are appropriately pro-rated for any period of less than three months.

For the year ended June 30, 2023, expenses incurred by the Company and the payable amount remaining at June 30, 2023 in connection with the Investment Advisory Agreement were as follows:

Administration Agreement
On May 9, 2013, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with Prospect Administration LLC (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Administrator performs, oversees and arranges for the performance of administrative services necessary for the operation of the Company. These services include, but are not limited to, accounting, finance, legal services and offerings of the Company’s debt, common stock and other securities. For providing these services, facilities and personnel, the Company reimburses the Administrator for the Company’s actual and allocable portion of expenses and overhead incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and the Company’s allocable portion of the costs of its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer and her staff. During the year ended June 30, 2023, $3,562,963 in administrator costs were incurred by the Company, $916,732 of which is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a payable under the Due to administrator line item.

Commissions and fees on shares of common stock sold
On December 5, 2019, we announced that Preferred Capital Securities, LLC (“PCS” or “Dealer Manager”), a broker dealer and wholesale distributor, would become the dealer manager for an 18-month follow-on common stock offering upon the effectiveness of our common share registration statement. On February 17, 2023, we filed a definitive prospectus with the SEC pursuant to which, through our Dealer Manager, we are offering up to 50,748,029 shares of our common stock until the date upon which 150,000,000 shares of our common stock have been sold in the course of our offerings, unless terminated or further extended or increased by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion. PCS charges selling commissions of 6.0% and dealer manager fees of 0.75%, payable upon a purchase of “Class R” shares.

During the year ended June 30, 2023, the total sales load incurred through the offering of our common stock was $6,724,498, which includes $5,848,040 of selling commissions and $876,458 of dealer manager fees. These fees are charged against additional paid-in capital on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Temporary Equity.

Common Stock Offering Costs
The Adviser, on behalf of the Company, paid or incurred common stock offering costs totaling $1,675,146 for the year ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, $985,714 remains as a deferred asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, while $1,178,973 has been amortized to expense on the Statement of Operations during the year ended June 30, 2023 .

Common stock offering expenses consist of costs for the registration, certain marketing activities and distribution of the Company’s common shares. These expenses include, but are not limited to, expenses for legal, accounting, printing and certain marketing activities, and include salaries and direct expenses of the Adviser’s employees, employees of its affiliates and others for providing these services.

Upon achieving the Minimum Offering Requirement, the Adviser was entitled to receive up to 5.0% of the gross proceeds from the offering as reimbursement for organization and common stock offering costs that it has funded, until all of the organization and common stock offering costs incurred and/or paid by the Adviser have been recovered. On January 8, 2014, the Adviser agreed to reduce such reimbursement and accept a maximum of 2% of the gross proceeds of the offering of the Company’s securities until all of the organization and common stock offering costs incurred and/or paid by the Adviser have been recovered.

Co-Investments
On January 13, 2020, (amended on August 2, 2022), the parent company of the Adviser received an exemptive order from the SEC (the “Order”), which superseded a prior co-investment exemptive order granted on February 10, 2014, granting the parent company the ability to negotiate terms other than price and quantity of co-investment transactions with other funds managed by the Adviser or certain affiliates, including Prospect Capital Corporation (“PSEC”), Prospect Floating Rate and Alternative Income Fund, Inc. (“PFLOAT”) and NGL Subsidiary Ltd. (“NGL”), where co-investing would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, subject to the conditions included therein.
Under the terms of the relief permitting us to co-invest with other funds managed by our Investment Adviser or its affiliates, a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Company’s independent directors must make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to the Company and its stockholders and do not involve overreaching of the Company or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of the Company’s stockholders and is consistent with the Company’s investment objective and strategies. In certain situations where co-investment with one or more funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates is not covered by the Order, such as when there is an opportunity to invest in different securities of the same issuer, the personnel of the Adviser or its affiliates will need to decide which fund will proceed with the investment. Such personnel will make these determinations based on policies and procedures, which are designed to reasonably ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among affiliated funds over time and in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Moreover, except in certain circumstances, when relying on the Order, the Company will be unable to invest in any issuer in which one or more funds managed or owned by the Adviser or its affiliates has previously invested.
Allocation of Expenses
For CLO investments held by each of the Company, PSEC and NGL, the cost of valuation services with regard to such investments is initially borne by the Company, which then allocates to PSEC and NGL their proportional share of such expense based on the number of positions held by each entity. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred $367,452 in expenses related to valuation services that are attributable to PSEC and NGL. As of June 30, 2023, $181,394 is still owed to the Company from PSEC and NGL. Additionally, during the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred $148,754 related to


2023 ANNUAL REPORT

marketing, insurance and general and administrative expenses that are attributable to PSEC and NGL, of which $129,854 is still owed to the Company. The amounts owed to the Company are typically settled on a quarterly basis.

Officers and Directors
Certain officers and directors of the Company are also officers and directors of the Adviser and its affiliates. For the year ended June 30, 2023, $225,000 was paid to the independent directors of the Company, which is included as Directors fees on the Statement of Operations, of which $0 is still payable at June 30, 2023. The officers do not receive any direct compensation from the Company.

Services Agreement
PCM has engaged Preferred Shareholder Services, LLC, an affiliate of the Dealer Manager, to provide certain non-offering issuer support services pursuant to a services agreement. PCM is responsible for any payments due under such agreement. Starting on January 1, 2022, Prospect Capital Management allocated the costs under such services agreement to the Company quarterly, at an up to 0.25% per annum rate of the Company’s average monthly net assets. For the year ended June 30, 2023, $1,437,332 of reimbursement was incurred, which is included in Adviser shared service expense on the Statement of Operations, of which $383,251 is still payable at June 30, 2023 .

2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            40                             

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the record date. The table above includes distributions with record dates during the year ended June 30, 2023 and does not include distributions previously declared to common stockholders of record on any future dates, as those amounts are not yet determinable. The following distributions were previously declared and have record dates subsequent to June 30, 2023 for the common shares:

Record DatePayment Date
Total Amount per Share(a)
July 7, 14, 21 and 28, 2023July 31, 2023$0.08056 
August 4, 11, 18 and 25, 2023August 28, 2023$0.08056 
(a)Total amount per share represents the total distribution rate for the record dates indicated.

The Company may fund its distributions to common stockholders from any sources of funds available, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, and non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets. Any capital returned to common stockholders through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses.

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which common stockholders will automatically have the full amount of distributions reinvested in additional shares. Common stockholders may "opt out" of the distribution reinvestment plan and instead receive their distributions in cash. Reinvested distributions will purchase shares at a price equal to 95% of the price that shares are sold in the offering at the closing immediately following the distribution payment date. There will be no selling commissions, dealer manager fees or other sales charges for shares issued under the distribution reinvestment plan. During any period when we are not making a “best-efforts” offering of our shares, the number of shares to be issued to a common stockholder in connection with a distribution reinvestment shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to the common stockholder by the net asset value per common share of the Company, as determined pursuant to procedures adopted by our Board.

The Company issued 1,976,175 and 1,743,574 shares of its common stock in connection with the distribution reinvestment plan for the years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Note 8. Income Taxes
The information presented in this footnote is based on our most recent tax year ended June 30, 2023.

For income tax purposes, distributions made to shareholders are reported as ordinary income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. The expected tax character of distributions declared and paid to common shareholders during the year ended June 30, 2023 was as follows:
Year Ended June 30, 2023:
Ordinary income$58,929,502 
Return of capital— 
Capital gain— 
Total distributions paid to common shareholders$58,929,502 
(1)
(1)$9,357,633 accrued but unpaid distributions payable as of June 30, 2023 are allocable to the tax year ended June 30, 2024. The determination of the tax character for the accrued but unpaid distributions payable will be reported on the 2023 Form 1099-DIV.









2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            44                             

The expected tax character of distributions declared and paid to preferred stock shareholders during the year ended June 30, 2023 was as follows:
Year Ended June 30, 2023:
Ordinary income$17,429,478 
Return of capital— 
Capital gain— 
Total distributions paid to preferred shareholders$17,429,478 
However, the final determination of the tax character of distributions between ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital will not be made until we file our tax return for the tax year ended June 30, 2023.

Taxable income generally differs from net increase in net assets resulting from operations for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized gains or losses, as unrealized gains or losses are generally not included in taxable income until they are realized. The following reconciles the net increase in net assets resulting from operations to taxable income for the tax year ended June 30, 2023.
Year Ended June 30, 2023:
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations$35,969,573 
Net realized (gains) losses106,951 
Net unrealized (gains) losses on Investments71,740,677 
Other temporary book-to-tax differences(1)
(41,165,618)
Other permanent differences17,063,053 
Taxable income before deductions for distributions$83,714,636 
(1)Temporary book-to-tax differences primarily relate to timing recognition of CLO taxable income.

As of the tax year ended June 30, 2023, we had $65,761,535 of undistributed ordinary income in excess of cumulative distributions and no capital gain in excess of cumulative distributions.

Capital losses in excess of capital gains earned in a tax year may generally be carried forward and used to offset capital gains, subject to certain limitations. As of June 30, 2023, we had $11,444,144 of capital loss carryforwards available for use in later tax years. While our ability to utilize losses in the future depends upon a variety of factors that cannot be known in advance, some of the Company's capital loss carryforwards may become permanently unavailable due to limitations by the Code.

Year Ended June 30, 2023:
Undistributed ordinary income$65,761,535 
Capital loss carryforwards$11,444,144 

In general, we may make certain adjustments to the classification of net assets as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences,
which may include differences in the book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, amortization of offering costs and
nondeductible federal excise taxes, among other items. For the year ended June 30, 2023, we increased total distributable earnings by $2,438,448, decreased paid-in capital in excess of par by $2,762,632, and decreased accumulated realized loss by
$324,184.

Note 9. Concentration of Credit Risks
Cash held at financial institutions, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the FDIC. The Company has not incurred any losses on these accounts, and the credit risk exposure is mitigated by the financial strength of the banking institutions where the amounts are held. For the year ended June 30, 2023, our cash deposits have exceeded the FDIC insured limit. The Company’s portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of investments in CLO vehicles, which is subject to a risk of loss if that sector experiences a market downturn. The Company is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment


2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            45                             

objectives. The Company’s maximum risk of loss from credit risk for its portfolio investments is the inability of the CLO collateral managers to return up to the cost value due to loan defaults occurring in the underlying collateral within the CLOs.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings and, to the Company’s knowledge, no material legal proceedings are threatened against the Company. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

Note 11. Revolving Credit Facility
On December 16, 2019, we entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “ 2019 Facility”). The aggregate commitment of the 2019 Facility was $35 million and was collateralized by all of our investments. The 2019 Facility bore interest at the current Prime Rate subject to a 3% floor plus 0.75%. Additionally, the lenders charged a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to either 50 basis points if more than 60% of the credit facility was drawn, or 100 basis points if an amount more than 35% and less than or equal to 60% of the credit facility was drawn, or 150 basis points if an amount less than or equal to 35% of the credit facility is drawn. On September 7, 2022, we paid down the 2019 Facility.
In connection with the origination of the 2019 Facility, we incurred $855,260 of fees, all of which were being amortized over the term of the facility on an effective yield basis. From July 1, 2022 through September 7, 2022, we recorded $207,731 of interest costs and amortization costs on the 2019 Facility as interest expense. On September 7, 2022, we recognized a realized loss on the extinguishment of debt of $324,184 of the remaining fees.
On September 6, 2022, we entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The aggregate commitment of the Facility was $40 million and is collateralized by our CLO investments. The Facility matures on March 6, 2027 and generally bears interest at the current 1 month SOFR Rate plus 3.25% subject to a SOFR floor of 0.25%. Additionally, the lender charges a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to 0.375% per annum on the difference between the commitment amount and the average daily funded amount of the Facility. On March 31, 2023, the commitment of the Facility was increased to $75 million.

As part of the Facility, we are required to maintain an interest reserve account that will contain the greater of $250,000 or the product of the weighted average daily advances outstanding during the immediately prior calendar month, multiplied by the interest rate and 90/360. Such amounts are classified as Restricted cash on our Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of June 30, 2023, we held $250,000 in the interest reserve account.

The agreement governing our Facility requires us to comply with certain financial and operational covenants. These covenants include restrictions on the level of indebtedness that we are permitted to incur in relation to the value of our assets and a minimum total net asset level that we are required to maintain. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with these covenants. As of June 30, 2023, we had $10,000,000 outstanding on our Facility. As of June 30, 2023, the investments used as collateral for the Facility had an aggregate fair value of $899,209,793, which represents 100% of our total investments. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the Facility was $10,000,000, the balance outstanding, and is categorized as Level 2 under ASC 820. The fair value of the Facility is equal to that of the carrying value since the Facility bears a floating rate and re-prices to market frequently.

In connection with the origination of the Facility, we incurred $609,547 of fees, all of which are being amortized over the term of the facility on an effective yield basis. As of June 30, 2023, $523,556 remains to be amortized and is reflected as Deferred financing costs on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

During the year ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $1,067,275 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs on the Facility as interest expense.

For the year ended June 30, 2023, the average stated interest rate (i.e., rate in effect plus the spread) was 5.65%. For the year ended June 30, 2023, average outstanding borrowings for the Facility were $14,789,899.

Note 12. Notes Payable
On January 27, 2020, we issued $15,000,000 principal amount of senior unsecured notes that mature on March 31, 2035 (the “2035 Notes”). On March 2, 2022, we completed a further issuance of $15,000,000 of the 2035 Notes in a private placement to the same institutional investor. As of June 30, 2023, $30,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2035 Notes remained


2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            46                             

outstanding. The 2035 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per year, payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year. Total proceeds from the issuance of the 2035 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and issuance costs, were $28,777,401. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the 2035 Notes is $29,146,695, estimated by discounting remaining payments using applicable current market rates, and is categorized as Level 2 under ASC 820 as of June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, $255,028 of debt issuance costs and $853,305 of underwriting discounts that remains to be amortized and are included as a reduction within Notes payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

During the year ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $1,997,630 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs on the 2035 Notes as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.

For the year ended June 30, 2023, the average stated interest rate was 6.50%. For the year ended June 30, 2023, average outstanding borrowings for the 2035 Notes were $30,000,000.

Note 13. Financial Highlights
The following is a schedule of financial highlights for each of the past five years ended June 30. Although the Company has designated its differing up-front sale loads as different “share classes”, the Company does not operate as a multi-class fund and each share of the Company has the same net asset value, as well as identical voting and distributions rights, and bears its own pro rata portion of the Company’s expenses.

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN
Subject to our Board of Directors’ discretion and applicable legal restrictions, we intend to authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions on a quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which shareholders will automatically have the full amount of their distributions reinvested in additional shares. Participants in our distribution reinvestment plan are free to revoke or reinstate participation in the distribution reinvestment plan within a reasonable time as specified in the plan. If you elect not to participate in the plan you will automatically receive any distributions we declare in cash. For example, if our Board of Directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash distribution, then if you have “opted out” of our distribution reinvestment plan you will receive your distributions in cash rather than having them reinvested in additional shares. During this offering, we generally intend to coordinate distribution payment dates so that the same price that is used for the closing date immediately following such distribution payment date will be used to calculate the purchase price for purchasers under the distribution reinvestment plan. In such case, your reinvested distributions will purchase shares at a price equal to 95% of the price that shares are sold in the offering at the closing immediately following the distribution payment date. Shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan will have the same voting rights as our shares offered pursuant to our continuous offering.

If you wish to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan, no action will be required on your part to do so. If you are a registered stockholder, you may opt out of the distribution reinvestment plan and elect receive your entire distribution in cash by notifying DST Systems, Inc., the reinvestment agent, and our transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by the reinvestment agent no later than the record date for distributions to stockholders. For plan participants, the reinvestment agent will set up an account for shares you acquire through the plan and will hold such shares in non-certificated form. If your shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary, you may “opt out” of our distribution reinvestment plan by notifying your broker or other financial intermediary of your election.

Our distribution reinvestment plan was amended and restated effective April 25, 2022 (the “Amendment Date”). If you held shares of the Company prior to the Amendment Date, your status as a participant or non-participant in the plan will not change on the Amendment Date and will remain unchanged unless you elect to change your participation as specified in the plan, or you purchase new shares of the Company and select a different participation status for those shares. Importantly, all shares held by a shareholder in one account must have the same status with respect to participation in the plan. That means that, if you purchase new shares of the Company after the Amendment Date and do not specifically elect to receive cash distributions, you will become a participant in the plan with respect to all of our shares that you hold, no matter when they were purchased or what your prior election was.

Distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participant's account. In the event of termination of a participant's account under the Plan, the plan administrator will adjust for any such undivided fractional interest in cash at the current offering price of the Company's shares in effect at the time of termination.

We intend to use newly issued shares to implement the plan and determine the number of shares we will issue to you as follows:

To the extent the Company’s shares are not listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on an over-the-counter market or a national market system (collectively, an “Exchange”):

•during any period when we are making a “best-efforts” public offering of our shares, the number of shares to be issued to you shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to you by a price equal to 95% of the price that the shares are sold in the offering at the closing immediately following the distribution payment date; and
•during any period when we are not making a “best-efforts” offering of our shares, the number of shares to be issued to you shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to you by a price equal to the net asset value as determined by our Board of Directors.

To the extent our shares are listed on an Exchange, the number of shares to be issued to you shall be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to you by the market price per share of our shares at the close of regular trading on such Exchange on the valuation date fixed by the Board of Directors for such distribution.

There will be no selling commissions, dealer manager fees or other sales charges associated with participation in the distribution reinvestment plan. We will pay the reinvestment agent’s fees under the plan.
If you receive your ordinary cash distributions in the form of shares, you generally are subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as you would be had you elected to receive your distributions in cash. Your basis for determining gain


2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            54                             

or loss upon the sale of shares received in a distribution from us will be equal to the total dollar amount of the distribution payable in cash. Any shares received in a distribution will have a holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares are credited to your account.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

At a meeting held on June 15, 2023, our Board of Directors, including all of the directors that are not interested persons of the Company, unanimously voted to reapprove the Investment Advisory Agreement. In reaching a decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed and considered a significant amount of information including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services that have been provided to the Company by the Adviser; (2) the investment performance of the Company; (3) comparative fee information on fees paid by other registered management investment companies and business development companies with similar investment objectives; (4) comparative fee information on fees charged by affiliates of the Adviser to other investment companies; (5) the Company’s operating expenses compared to registered management investment companies with similar investment objectives; (6) information about the Adviser’s profitability and economies of scale; and (7) 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 the June 15, 2023 meeting and based on 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. Among other factors, the Board requested, considered and evaluated information regarding:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board considered the services being provided to the Company by the Adviser and the personnel who would be providing such services. The Board considered that the Adviser does not currently have any employees but has access to employees of Prospect Capital Management (“PCM”). The Board considered the due diligence that PCM’s personnel conduct with respect to prospective CLO equity securities and the ongoing monitoring of the Company’s investments that is conducted. The Board also reviewed information concerning the compliance program of the Adviser and the Company.

Based on a review of the above information, together with the factors 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.

Performance

The Board reviewed detailed information regarding the performance of the Company over a number of periods since the Company’s inception. The Board also reviewed information comparing the performance of the Company to the performance of two closed-end funds with similar investment strategies. The Board noted that the two funds that had the most similar investment strategies to the Company were traded on an exchange whereas the Company was not traded and was currently involved in a continuous offering of its securities.

Investment Advisory Fee Rates and Total Expense Ratio

The Board then reviewed and considered the advisory fee rates, including the base management fee and incentive fee, payable by the Company to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement and also reviewed the total expense ratio of the Company for calendar year 2022. Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the advisory fee rates and operating expense ratio to similarly situated funds. Based on the information reviewed, the Board determined that, while there were differences in the fee structures among the funds reviewed, the fees that the Company paid to the Adviser were in line with other funds in the industry in which the Company competes.



2023 ANNUAL REPORT
PRIORITY INCOME FUND, INC.                                            57                             

Profitability

The Board also considered a profitability analysis of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Company. The Board concluded that, in light of the costs of providing investment advisory services to the Company, particularly the specialized nature of investing in CLOs, the Adviser’s profitability was not excessive.

Other Benefits

The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Company. Based on information provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that these benefits were not material.

Based on the information reviewed and the discussions detailed above, the Board approved of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the base management fee, the incentive fee and other amounts payable by the Company thereunder, including the reimbursement for routine non-compensation overhead expenses of the Adviser and its investment affiliates up to 0.25% per annum of the Company’s average gross assets determined on a quarterly basis, and determined that such compensation was fair and reasonable.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Portfolio Information

For tax purposes, distributions to common stockholders during the year ended June 30, 2023 were approximately $58,929,502 for distributions from net investment income, $0 from return of capital and $0 from capital gain.

The Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures of Priority Senior Secured Income Management, LLC are set forth below.

PRIORITY SENIOR SECURED INCOME MANAGEMENT, LLC
STATEMENT OF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES REGARDING THE VOTING OF SECURITIES
The guidelines will be reviewed periodically by Priority Senior Secured Income Management, LLC and the Registrant’s non-interested directors, and, accordingly, are subject to change. For purposes of these Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures described below, “we,” “our” and “us” refers to Priority Senior Secured Income Management, LLC.

Introduction
An investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) has a fiduciary duty to act solely in the best interests of its clients. As part of this duty, we recognize that we must vote client securities in a timely manner free of conflicts of interest and in the best interests of our clients. These policies and procedures for voting proxies for our investment advisory clients are intended to comply with Section 206 of, and Rule 206(4)-6 under, the Advisers Act.

Proxy Policies
We will vote proxies relating to our securities in the best interest of our clients’ stockholders. We will review on a case-by-case basis each proposal submitted for a stockholder vote to determine its impact on the portfolio securities held by our clients. Although we will generally vote against proposals that may have a negative impact on our clients’ portfolio securities, we may vote for such a proposal if there exists compelling long-term reasons to do so. Our proxy voting decisions will be made by the senior officers who are responsible for monitoring each of our clients’ investments. To ensure that our vote is not the product of a conflict of interest, we will require that: (a) anyone involved in the decision-making process disclose to our chief compliance officer any potential conflict that he or she is aware of and any contact that he or she has had with any interested party regarding how we intend to vote on a proposal in order to reduce any attempted influence from interested parties.

Proxy Voting Records
You may obtain information, without charge, regarding how we voted proxies with respect to our portfolio securities by making a written request for proxy voting information to: Chief Compliance Officer, Priority Income Fund, Inc., 10 East 40th Street, 42nd Floor, New York, New York 10016.RS.

Our Adviser and its affiliates, including our officers and some of our directors, will face conflicts of interest caused by compensation arrangements with us and our affiliates. Our Adviser and certain of its affiliates are currently, and plan in the future to continue to be, involved with activities which are unrelated to us. As a result of these activities, our Adviser, its personnel and certain of its affiliates will have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between us and other activities in which they are or may become involved, including, but not limited to, the management of Prospect Capital Management L.P.,


Prospect Administration LLC, and Prospect Capital Corporation. However, Prospect Capital Management L.P. believes that our Adviser’s professionals have sufficient time to fully discharge their responsibilities to us and to the other businesses in which they are involved. We believe that our affiliates and executive officers will devote the time required to manage our business and expect that the amount of time a particular executive officer or affiliate devotes to us will vary during the course of the year and depend on our business activities at the given time. To the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and staff interpretations, our Adviser may seek to have us and one or more other investment accounts managed by our Adviser or any of its affiliates participate in an investment opportunity. These co-investment transactions may give rise to conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest among us and the other participating accounts. To mitigate these conflicts, our Adviser and its affiliates will seek to allocate portfolio transactions for all of the participating investment accounts, including us, on a fair and equitable basis, taking into account such factors as the relative amounts of capital available for new investments, the applicable investment programs and portfolio positions, the clients for which participation is appropriate and any other factors deemed appropriate.

(a)(3) Portfolio Manager compensation as of June 30, 2023:

The portfolio managers receive compensation through an affiliate of the Adviser that includes an annual base salary, an annual individual performance bonus and contributions to a retirement plan in connection with their services.

None during the period covered by this Form N-CSR filing pursuant to a plan or program.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
(a)Based on an evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the “Disclosure Controls”) as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report on Form N-CSR, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), have concluded that the Disclosure Controls are effective and are reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us on Form N-CSR is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, including ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit on Form N-CSR is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form N-CSR for the year ended June 30, 2022, a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting existed as of June 30, 2022, relating to the operation of the management review control over the evaluation of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), including management’s review procedures over the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in performing those review procedures.


During the year ended June 30, 2023, we implemented the following controls to improve our internal control over financial reporting to address this material weakness:

•Enhanced existing controls that address the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the performance of management review controls over the valuation of CLOs;

•Enhanced policies and procedures to retain adequate documentary evidence for certain management review controls over the valuation of CLOs, including precision of review and evidence of review procedures performed to demonstrate effective operation of such controls.

These enhanced controls resulted in an improved internal control environment that have been implemented for a sufficient length of time for management to conclude, through testing the design and operating effectiveness of these controls, that we have fully remediated the material weakness.

(b)Other than the controls implemented to remediate the previously identified material weakness described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act) over the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 12. Disclosure of Securities Lending Activities for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

General Description of Registrant [Abstract]          
Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block]
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, as a secondary objective, long-term capital appreciation. We expect to seek to achieve our investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of our total assets in senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade or, in limited circumstances, unrated, which we collectively refer to as “Senior Secured Loans,” with an emphasis on current income. Our investments may take the form of the purchase of Senior Secured Loans (either in the primary or secondary markets) or through investments in the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) vehicles that in turn own pools of Senior Secured Loans. The Company intends to invest in both the primary and secondary markets.
        
Risk Factors [Table Text Block]
Investment Risks
Our investments are subject to a variety of risks. Those risks include the following:

Market Risk
Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the fair value of the financial instrument.

Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the risk that we would incur if the counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the terms of their agreements with us.

Credit Spread Risk
Credit spread risk represents the risk that with higher interest rates comes a higher risk of defaults.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk represents the possibility that we may not be able to rapidly adjust the size of our investment positions in times of high volatility and financial stress at a reasonable price.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk represents a change in interest rates, which could result in an adverse change in the fair value of an interest-bearing financial instrument.

Prepayment Risk
Many of our debt investments allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. Downward changes in interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a faster than expected rate, thereby effectively shortening the maturity of the security and making us less likely to fully earn all of the expected income of that security and reinvesting in a lower yielding instrument.

Downgrade Risk
Downgrade risk results when rating agencies lower their rating on a bond which are usually accompanied by bond price declines.

Default Risk
Default risk is the risk that a borrower will be unable to make the required payments on their debt obligation.

Structured Credit Related Risk
CLO investments may be riskier and less transparent to us than direct investments in underlying companies. CLOs typically will have no significant assets other than their underlying senior secured loans. Therefore, payments on CLO investments are and will be payable solely from the cash flows from such senior secured loans.    

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical and other events, such as war (including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine), terrorist attacks, public health crises and natural or environmental disasters, may disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Those events, as well as other changes in non-U.S. and U.S. economic and political conditions, could adversely affect the value of the Company’s investments.

Economic Recessions Risk
Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio investments and adversely affect our operating results.

Long Term Debt [Table Text Block]
Note 11. Revolving Credit Facility
On December 16, 2019, we entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “ 2019 Facility”). The aggregate commitment of the 2019 Facility was $35 million and was collateralized by all of our investments. The 2019 Facility bore interest at the current Prime Rate subject to a 3% floor plus 0.75%. Additionally, the lenders charged a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to either 50 basis points if more than 60% of the credit facility was drawn, or 100 basis points if an amount more than 35% and less than or equal to 60% of the credit facility was drawn, or 150 basis points if an amount less than or equal to 35% of the credit facility is drawn. On September 7, 2022, we paid down the 2019 Facility.
In connection with the origination of the 2019 Facility, we incurred $855,260 of fees, all of which were being amortized over the term of the facility on an effective yield basis. From July 1, 2022 through September 7, 2022, we recorded $207,731 of interest costs and amortization costs on the 2019 Facility as interest expense. On September 7, 2022, we recognized a realized loss on the extinguishment of debt of $324,184 of the remaining fees.
On September 6, 2022, we entered into a secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The aggregate commitment of the Facility was $40 million and is collateralized by our CLO investments. The Facility matures on March 6, 2027 and generally bears interest at the current 1 month SOFR Rate plus 3.25% subject to a SOFR floor of 0.25%. Additionally, the lender charges a fee on the unused portion of the credit facility equal to 0.375% per annum on the difference between the commitment amount and the average daily funded amount of the Facility. On March 31, 2023, the commitment of the Facility was increased to $75 million.

As part of the Facility, we are required to maintain an interest reserve account that will contain the greater of $250,000 or the product of the weighted average daily advances outstanding during the immediately prior calendar month, multiplied by the interest rate and 90/360. Such amounts are classified as Restricted cash on our Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of June 30, 2023, we held $250,000 in the interest reserve account.

The agreement governing our Facility requires us to comply with certain financial and operational covenants. These covenants include restrictions on the level of indebtedness that we are permitted to incur in relation to the value of our assets and a minimum total net asset level that we are required to maintain. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with these covenants. As of June 30, 2023, we had $10,000,000 outstanding on our Facility. As of June 30, 2023, the investments used as collateral for the Facility had an aggregate fair value of $899,209,793, which represents 100% of our total investments. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the Facility was $10,000,000, the balance outstanding, and is categorized as Level 2 under ASC 820. The fair value of the Facility is equal to that of the carrying value since the Facility bears a floating rate and re-prices to market frequently.

In connection with the origination of the Facility, we incurred $609,547 of fees, all of which are being amortized over the term of the facility on an effective yield basis. As of June 30, 2023, $523,556 remains to be amortized and is reflected as Deferred financing costs on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

During the year ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $1,067,275 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs on the Facility as interest expense.

For the year ended June 30, 2023, the average stated interest rate (i.e., rate in effect plus the spread) was 5.65%. For the year ended June 30, 2023, average outstanding borrowings for the Facility were $14,789,899.
Note 12. Notes Payable
On January 27, 2020, we issued $15,000,000 principal amount of senior unsecured notes that mature on March 31, 2035 (the “2035 Notes”). On March 2, 2022, we completed a further issuance of $15,000,000 of the 2035 Notes in a private placement to the same institutional investor. As of June 30, 2023, $30,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2035 Notes remained
outstanding. The 2035 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per year, payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year. Total proceeds from the issuance of the 2035 Notes, net of underwriting discounts and issuance costs, were $28,777,401. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the 2035 Notes is $29,146,695, estimated by discounting remaining payments using applicable current market rates, and is categorized as Level 2 under ASC 820 as of June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, $255,028 of debt issuance costs and $853,305 of underwriting discounts that remains to be amortized and are included as a reduction within Notes payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

During the year ended June 30, 2023, we recorded $1,997,630 of interest costs and amortization of financing costs on the 2035 Notes as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.

For the year ended June 30, 2023, the average stated interest rate was 6.50%. For the year ended June 30, 2023, average outstanding borrowings for the 2035 Notes were $30,000,000.

Note 4. Capital
The Company offers its shares of common stock with varying up-front sales loads and has elected to designate each level of sales load as a “class” solely as a means of identifying those differing sales loads and the different channels through which shares are sold. Shares available to the general public are charged selling commissions and dealer manager fees and are referred to as “Class R Shares”. Shares available to accounts managed by registered investment advisers are charged dealer manager fees but no selling commissions and are referred to as “Class RIA Shares”. Shares available for purchase through (1) fee-based programs, also known as wrap accounts, of investment dealers, (2) participating broker-dealers that have alternative fee arrangements with their clients, (3) certain registered investment advisors or (4) bank trust departments or any other organization or person authorized to act in a fiduciary capacity for its clients or customers are charged no selling commissions or dealer manager fees and are referred to as “Class I Shares.” Although the Company uses “Class” designations to indicate its differing sales load structures, the Company does not operate as a multi-class fund.

The Company’s authorized stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of stock, par value $0.01 per share, 50,000,000 of which are classified as preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, or “Preferred Stock” and 150,000,000 of which are classified as
common stock. All shares of common stock have identical voting and distributions rights, and bear their own pro rata portion of the Company’s expenses and have the same net asset value.

Share Repurchase Program
The Company conducts quarterly tender offers pursuant to its share repurchase program. The Company’s Board considers the following factors, among others, in making its determination regarding whether to cause us to offer to repurchase shares and under what terms:
•the effect of such repurchases on our qualification as a RIC (including the consequences of any necessary asset sales);
•the liquidity of the Company’s assets (including fees and costs associated with disposing of assets);
•the Company’s investment plans and working capital requirements;
•the relative economies of scale with respect to the Company’s size;
•the Company’s history in repurchasing shares or portions thereof; and
•the condition of the securities markets.
The Company limits the number of shares to be repurchased in any calendar quarter to up to 2.5% of the number of shares outstanding at the close of business on the last day of the prior fiscal year. At the discretion of the Company’s Board, the Company may use cash on hand, and cash from the sale of investments as of the end of the applicable period to repurchase shares. The Company will offer to repurchase such shares at a price equal to the net asset value per share of our common stock specified in the tender offer. The Company’s Board may suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. The first such tender offer commenced in May 2015.
