SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
following is a summary of the
application. The complete application

Applicant’s Representations
1. The Company is an internally
managed, non-diversified, closed-end
investment company that has elected to
be regulated as a business development
company (‘‘BDC’’) under the Act. The
Company is currently permitted to (i)
issue shares of Restricted Stock to
certain of its Employees and Nonemployee Directors, and (ii) issue
options to purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock to certain of
its Employees and Non-employee
Directors, under the terms of the Plans
in reliance on the Prior Orders.
Applicant seeks to amend the Prior
Orders in order to permit the Company,
pursuant to the Amended Plans, to
withhold shares of the Company’s
common stock or purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock from its
Employees and Non-employee Directors
to satisfy tax withholding obligations
related to the vesting of Restricted Stock
that were or will be granted pursuant to
PO 00000
Frm 00106
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

the Plans or the Amended Plans.2 In
addition, the Company seeks to amend
the Prior Orders to permit Participants
to pay the exercise price of options to
purchase shares of the Company’s
common stock that were or will be
granted to them pursuant to the Plans or
the Amended Plans with shares of the
Company’s common stock already held
by them or pursuant to a net share
settlement feature.3 The Company will
continue to comply with all of the terms
and conditions of the Prior Orders.
2. The Plans and the Amended Plans
authorize the issuance to Participants of
shares of Restricted Stock, subject to
certain forfeiture restrictions, and
options that may be subject to forfeiture
conditions to purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock. On the date
that any Restricted Stock vests, such
vested shares of the Restricted Stock are
released to the Participant and are
available for sale or transfer.4 For
Participants who are Employees, the
value of the vested shares is deemed to
be wage compensation for the
Employee. As discussed more fully in
the application, upon the exercise of
certain options the amount by which the
current market value of the shares of the
Company’s common stock, determined
as of the date of exercise, exceeds the
exercise price will be treated as ordinary
income to the recipient of the option in
the year of exercise. Applicant states
that any compensation income
recognized by an employee generally is
subject to Federal withholding for
income and employment tax purposes.
The Amended Plans provide that each
grant or exercise of an Award is subject
to the Participant making arrangements
to satisfy all applicable Federal, State,
and local or other income and
employment tax withholding
obligations.
3. The Amended Plans will be subject
to approval by the Company’s board of
directors (‘‘Board’’) as well as the
required majority of the Company’s
directors with the meaning of section
57(o) of the Act. The Amended Plans
explicitly permit the Company to
2 All Employees and Non-Employee Directors
who participate in the Plans or the Amended Plans
are referred to as ‘‘Participants.’’
3 Net share settlement allows the Company to
deliver only gain shares (i.e., shares of its common
stock with a current market value, as the term is
defined in the Amended Plans, equal to the option
spread upon exercise) directly to the optionee
without the need for the optionee to sell shares of
the Company’s common stock on the open market
or borrow cash from third parties in order to
exercise his or her options.
4 During the restriction period (i.e., prior to the
lapse of the forfeiture restrictions), the Restricted
Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated, margined, or otherwise encumbered
by a Participant.
