Oxford Lane Capital Corp.

November 1, 2019
To Our Stockholders:

We are pleased to submit to you the report of Oxford Lane Capital Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Fund” or “Oxford Lane”) for the six months ended September 30, 2019. The net asset value of our shares at that date was $6.63 per common share. The Fund’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and its share price can differ from its net asset value. The Fund’s closing price at September 30, 2019 was $9.30, compared to $9.84 at March 31, 2019. The total return based on market value for Oxford Lane, for the six months ended September 30, 2019, as reflected in the Fund’s financial highlights, was 2.43%. This return reflects the change in market price for the six month period ended September 30, 2019, as well as the impact of $0.81 per share in distributions declared and paid. The total return based on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six months ended September 30, 2019, as reflected in the Fund’s financial highlights, was (10.58%). Please refer to “Note 13. Financial Highlights” for further details. On October 31, 2019, the last reported sale price of the Fund’s common stock was $9.34.

We note that there may be significant differences between Oxford Lane’s earnings prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and our taxable earnings, particularly related to collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) equity investments where our taxable earnings are based upon the distributable share of earnings as determined under tax regulations for each CLO equity investment, while GAAP earnings are based upon an effective yield calculation. Additionally, as our taxable earnings are not generally known until after our distributions are made, those distributions may represent a return of capital on a tax basis. While reportable GAAP revenue from our CLO equity investments for the six months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $53.7 million, we received or were entitled to receive approximately $68.4 million in distributions from our CLO equity investments.

Investment Review

The Fund’s investment objective is to maximize its portfolio’s risk-adjusted total return over its investment horizon. Our current focus is to seek that return by investing in equity and junior tranches of CLO vehicles(1), which are collateralized primarily by a diverse portfolio of senior loans, which are senior secured loans made to companies whose debt is unrated or is rated below investment grade, and which generally have little to no exposure to real estate loans, mortgage loans or pools of consumer-based debt, such as credit card receivables or auto loans. Our investment strategy also includes investing in warehouse facilities, which are financing structures intended to aggregate senior loans that may be used to form the basis of a CLO vehicle. As of September 30, 2019, we held debt investments in six different CLO structures, and equity investments in approximately 110 different CLO structures.

Structurally, CLO vehicles are entities formed to originate and manage a portfolio of loans. The loans within a CLO vehicle are limited to those which, on an aggregated basis, meet established credit criteria and are subject to concentration limitations in order to limit a CLO vehicle’s exposure to a single credit or industry.

An investment in our Fund carries with it a significant number of meaningful risks, certain of which are discussed in the notes to our financial statements. Investors should read “Note 14. Risks and Uncertainties” carefully.

Investment Outlook

We believe that the market for CLO-related assets continues to provide us with opportunities to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term.

The long-term and relatively low-cost capital that many CLO vehicles have secured, compared with current asset spreads, have created opportunities to purchase certain CLO equity and junior debt instruments that may produce attractive risk-adjusted returns. Additionally, given that the CLO vehicles we invest in are cash flow-based vehicles, this term financing may be beneficial in periods of market volatility.

____________

1. A CLO vehicle is formed by issuing various classes or “tranches” of debt (with the most senior tranches being rated “AAA” to the most junior tranches typically being rated “BB” or “B”) and equity. The tranches of CLO vehicles rated “BB” or “B” may be referred to as “junk.” The equity of a CLO vehicle is generally structured to absorb the CLO’s losses before any of the CLO’s debt tranches, and it also has the lowest level of payment priority among the CLO’s tranches; therefore, the equity is typically the riskiest tranche of a CLO vehicle.

We continue to review a large number of CLO investment opportunities in the current market environment, and we expect that the majority of our portfolio holdings, over the near to intermediate-term, will continue to be comprised of CLO debt and equity securities, with the more significant focus over the near-term likely to be on CLO equity securities.

(1) We do not “control” and are not an “affiliate” of any of our portfolio companies, each as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In general, under the 1940 Act, we would be presumed to “control” a portfolio company if we owned more than 25% of its voting securities and would be an “affiliate” of a portfolio company if we owned 5% or more of its voting securities.

(2) Fair value is determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Fund.

(3) Cost value reflects accretion of original issue discount or market discount.

(4) Investment represents greater than 5% of net assets.

(5) Cost value reflects accretion of effective yield less any cash distributions received or entitled to be received from CLO equity investments.

(7) The CLO subordinated notes, preferred shares and income notes are considered equity positions in the CLO funds. Equity investments are entitled to recurring distributions which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of the payments made by the underlying fund’s securities less contractual payments to debt holders and fund expenses. The estimated yield indicated is based upon a current projection of the amount and timing of these recurring distributions and the estimated amount of repayment of principal upon termination. Such projections are periodically reviewed and adjusted, and the estimated yield may not ultimately be realized.

(8) Fair value represents discounted cash flows associated with fees earned from CLO equity investments

(9) Investment has not made inaugural distribution for relevant period end. See “Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Investment Income.”

(10) The CLO equity investment was optionally redeemed. See “Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Securities Transactions.”

(14) The fair value of the investment was determined using significant unobservable inputs. See “Note 4. Fair Value.”

(15) This investment was optionally redeemed during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. See “Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Securities Transactions.”

NOTE 1. UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Interim financial statements of Oxford Lane Capital Corp. (“OXLC,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Fund”) are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form N-CSR. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair statement of financial results for the interim periods have been included. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the year. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Fund’s Form N-CSR for the year ended March 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

NOTE 2. ORGANIZATION

OXLC was incorporated under the General Corporation Laws of the State of Maryland on June 9, 2010. The Fund is a non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Fund 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 Fund’s investment objective is to maximize its portfolio’s risk adjusted total return, and it currently seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in structured finance investments, specifically the equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) vehicles, which are collateralized primarily by a diverse portfolio of Senior Loans, and which generally have very little or no exposure to real estate loans, or mortgage loans or to pools of consumer-based debt, such as credit card receivables or auto loans.

OXLC’s investment activities are managed by Oxford Lane Management, LLC (“OXLC Management”), a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Oxford Funds, LLC (“Oxford Funds”), is the managing member of OXLC Management and serves as the administrator of OXLC. Under the investment advisory agreement with OXLC Management (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), OXLC has agreed to pay OXLC Management an annual base management fee based on gross assets as well as an incentive fee based on its performance. For further detail please refer to “Note 5. Related Party Transactions.”

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), include the accounts of the Fund. The Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. Certain prior period figures have been reclassified from those originally published on Form N-CSR to conform to the current period presentation for comparative purposes. The Fund maintains its accounting records in U.S. dollars.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and provide indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based upon experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and cash held in a money market fund which contain investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Fund places its cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in bank accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limit. Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 assets and are included on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Cash equivalents are carried at cost or amortized cost which approximates fair value.

INVESTMENT VALUATION

The Fund determines the fair values of its investment portfolio in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Estimates made in the preparation of OXLC’s financial statements include the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. OXLC believes that there is no single definitive method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments OXLC makes. OXLC is required to specifically fair value each individual investment on a quarterly basis.

ASC 820-10 clarifies the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, which includes inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. OXLC considers the attributes of current market conditions on an ongoing basis and has determined that due to the general illiquidity of the market for its investment portfolio, whereby little or no market data exists.

Collateralized Loan Obligations — Debt and Equity

OXLC has acquired debt and equity positions in CLO investment vehicles and has purchased CLO warehouse facilities. These investments are special purpose financing vehicles. In valuing such investments, OXLC considers the indicative prices provided by a recognized industry pricing service as a primary source, and the implied yield of such prices, supplemented by actual trades executed in the market at or around period-end, as well as the indicative prices provided by the broker who arranges transactions in such investment vehicles. OXLC also considers those instances in which the record date for an equity distribution payment falls on or before the last day of the period, and the likelihood that a prospective purchaser would require a downward adjustment to the indicative price representing substantially all of the pending distribution. Additional factors include any available information on other relevant transactions, including firm bids and offers in the market and information resulting from bids-wanted-in-competition. In addition, OXLC considers the operating metrics of the specific investment vehicle, including compliance with collateralization tests, defaulted and restructured securities, and payment defaults, if any. OXLC Management or the Fund’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) may elect to engage third-party valuation firms to provide assistance to our Valuation Committee and Board of Directors in valuing certain of our investments, including, but not limited to, when requested by the Board of Directors or OXLC Management. If a third-party valuation firm is engaged by the Fund, it will provide the Board of Directors with a written report with respect to each investment it has reviewed. The Valuation Committee will evaluate the impact of such additional information, and factor it into its consideration of fair value.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

The Fund has entered into an agreement whereby it sold securities to be repurchased at an agreed-upon price and date. Under this agreement, the Fund accounts for this transaction as a collateralized financing transaction which is recorded at the contracted repurchase amount plus interest. The Fund’s securities sold under the agreement to repurchase are carried at cost. Refer to “Note 9. Borrowings Related to Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase” for further details.

SHARE REPURCHASES

From time to time, the Board of Directors may authorize a share repurchase program under which shares of the Fund’s common stock are purchased in open market transactions. Since the Fund is incorporated in the State of Maryland, state law requires share repurchases to be accounted for as a share retirement. The cost of repurchased shares is charged against capital on the settlement date. There was no share repurchase program authorized for the six months ended September 30, 2019.

PREFERRED STOCK

The Fund carries its mandatorily redeemable preferred stock at accreted cost on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and not fair value. Refer to “Note 8. Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock” for further details.

PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER ASSETS

Prepaid expenses and other assets generally consists primarily of insurance costs.

INVESTMENT INCOME

Income from securitization vehicles and investments

Income from investments in the equity class securities of CLO vehicles (typically income notes or subordinated notes) is recorded using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC 325-40 Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, based upon an effective yield to the expected redemption utilizing estimated cash flows, including those CLO equity investments that have not made their inaugural distribution for the relevant period end. The Fund monitors the expected residual payments, and effective yield is determined and updated periodically, as needed. Accordingly, investment income recognized on CLO equity securities in the GAAP statement of operations differs from both the tax-basis investment income and from the cash distributions actually received by the Fund during the period.

The Fund also records income on its investments in certain securitization vehicles (or “CLO warehouse facilities”) based on a stated rate as per the underlying note purchase agreement or, if there is no stated rate, then an estimated rate is calculated using a base case model projecting the timing of the ramp-up of the CLO warehouse facility.

Interest Income — Debt Investments

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. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Generally, if the Fund does not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, the Fund 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. The Fund 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 September 30, 2019, the Fund had no non-accrual investments in its portfolio.

Other Income

Other income includes distributions from fee letters and success fees associated with portfolio investments. Distributions from fee letters are based upon a percentage of the collateral manager’s fees, and are recorded as other income when earned. The Fund may also earn success fees associated with its investments in CLO warehouse facilities, which are contingent upon a repayment of the warehouse by a permanent CLO securitization structure; such fees are earned and recognized when the repayment is completed.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

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

Because U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund’s fiscal 2020 tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S Federal and Connecticut State. The Fund is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next six months.

Distributions

Our distribution policy is based upon our estimate of our taxable net investment income, which includes actual distributions from our CLO equity class investments, with further consideration given to our realized gains or losses on a taxable basis. Distributions from net investment income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP. Distributions from net investment income, if any, are expected to be declared quarterly and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, unless offset by any available capital loss carry-forward, are typically distributed to stockholders annually. Distributions to stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are automatically reinvested in full and fractional shares of the Fund in accordance with the Fund’s distribution reinvestment plan, unless the stockholder has elected to have them paid in cash.

Amounts required to be distributed reflect estimates made by the Fund. Distributions paid by the Fund in accordance with RIC requirements are subject to re-characterization for tax purposes.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

Securities transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of specific identification. An optional redemption (“optionally redeemed”) feature of a CLO allows a majority of the holders of the equity securities issued by the CLO issuer, after the end of a specified non-call period, to cause the redemption of the secured notes issued by the CLO with proceeds paid either through the liquidation of the CLO’s assets or through a refinancing with new debt. The optional redemption is effectively a voluntary prepayment of the secured debt issued by the CLO prior to the stated maturity of such debt. Distributions received on CLO equity investments which were optionally redeemed are first applied to the remaining cost basis until it is reduced to zero, after which distributions are recorded as realized gains.

DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS ON COMMON STOCK

Deferred offering costs on common stock consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration and public offer and sale of the Fund’s common stock, including legal, accounting and printing fees. These costs are deferred at the time of incurrence and are subsequently charged as a reduction to capital when the offering takes place or as shares are issued. Deferred costs are periodically reviewed and expensed if the related registration statement is no longer active or if the offering is unsuccessful.

DEFERRED ISSUANCE COSTS ON MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

Deferred issuance costs on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock consist of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of preferred stock offerings, and are capitalized at the time of payment. These costs are amortized using the straight line method over the term of the respective preferred stock series. This amortization expense is included in interest expense in the Fund’s financial statements. Upon early termination of preferred stock, the remaining balance of unamortized fees related to such debt is accelerated into realized loss on redemption of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock on the Fund’s Statement of Operations. Deferred issuance costs are presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a direct deduction from the related debt liability.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE

The Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820-10 at September 30, 2019, were as follows:

In accordance with ASC 820-10, the following table provides quantitative information about the Fund’s Level 3 fair value measurements as of September 30, 2019. The Fund’s valuation policy, as described above, establishes parameters for the sources and types of valuation analysis, as well as the methodologies and inputs that the Fund uses in determining fair value. If the Board of Directors or OXLC Management determines that additional techniques, sources or inputs are appropriate or necessary in a given situation, such additional work may be undertaken. The weighted average calculations in the table below are based on the fair value within each respective valuation technique and methodology and asset category.

(1) The Fund generally uses non-binding indicative prices (“NBIP”) provided by an independent pricing service or broker on or near the valuation date as the primary basis for the fair value determinations for CLO debt and equity investments, which may be adjusted for pending equity distributions as of the valuation date. These prices are non-binding, and may not be determinative of fair value. Each price is evaluated by the Board of Directors in conjunction with additional information compiled by OXLC Management, including performance and covenant compliance information as provided by the independent trustee.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE (cont.)

(2) The Fund will calculate the fair value of CLO equity side letters based upon the net present value of expected contractual payment streams discounted using estimated market yields for the equity tranche of the respective CLO vehicle.

(3) Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.

(4) The impact on fair value measurement of an increase in each unobservable input is in isolation. The discount rate is the rate used to discount future cash flows in a discounted cash flow calculation. An increase in discount rate, in isolation, would result in a decrease in a fair value measurement. Significant increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

(5) The fair value of those CLO equity positions which have been optionally redeemed are generally valued using a liquidation net asset value basis which represents the estimated expected residual value of the CLO as of the end of the period.

(6) Represents a single investment fair value position, and therefore the range/weighted average is not applicable.

(7) Prices provided by independent pricing services are evaluated in conjunction with actual trades and payoffs and, in certain cases, the value represented by actual trades or payoffs may be more representative of fair value as determined by the Board of Directors.

A reconciliation of the fair value of investments for the six months ended September 30, 2019, utilizing significant unobservable inputs, is as follows:

($ in millions)	Collateralized Loan Obligation Debt Investments			Collateralized Loan Obligation Equity Investments			Total

____________

(1) Reduction to cost value on OXLC’s CLO equity investments represents the difference between distributions received, or entitled to be received, for the six months ended September 30, 2019, of approximately $68.4 million and the effective yield interest income of approximately $53.7 million. A reduction to cost value is not made for CLO warehouse investments.

(2) Totals may not sum due to rounding.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the six months ended September 30, 2019.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Effective September 9, 2010, the Fund entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with OXLC Management, a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act. Oxford Funds is the managing member of OXLC Management and serves as the administrator of OXLC.

Effective September 9, 2010, the Fund entered into an agreement (“Administration Agreement”) with Oxford Funds to serve as its administrator. Under the Administration Agreement, Oxford Funds performs, or oversees the

performance of, the Fund’s required administrative services, which include, among other things, being responsible for the financial records which the Fund is required to maintain and for preparation of the reports to the Fund’s stockholders.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund has agreed to pay OXLC Management a fee for advisory and management services consisting of two components — a base management fee (or “Investment Advisory Fee”) and an incentive fee.

The Investment Advisory Fee is calculated at an annual rate of 2.00% of the Fund’s gross assets. For services rendered under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the investment advisory fee is payable quarterly in arrears. The investment advisory fee is calculated based on the average value of the Fund’s gross assets, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro-rated. For the six months ended September 30, 2019, the Fund recognized an investment advisory fee expense of approximately $6.3 million. At September 30, 2019, the Fund had an investment advisory fee payable of approximately $3.2 million.

The incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net investment income means income from securitization vehicles and investments, interest income from debt investments and any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that are received from an investment) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Fund’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the Investment Advisory Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement to Oxford Funds, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes accrued income that OXLC has not yet received in cash, such as the amount of any market discount it may accrete on debt instruments purchased below par value. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized or unrealized capital gains or losses, and the Fund could incur incentive fees in periods when there is a net decrease in net assets from operations. Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a hurdle of 1.75% per quarter (7.00% annualized). For such purposes, the Fund’s quarterly rate of return is determined by dividing its pre-incentive net investment income by its reported net assets as of the prior period end. OXLC’s pre-incentive fee net investment income used to calculate the incentive fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the 2.00% Investment Advisory Fee. The Fund pays OXLC Management an incentive fee with respect to the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

• No incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Fund’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle of 1.75%;

• 100% of pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized). The Fund refers to this portion of the pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.1875%) as the “catch-up”. The “catch-up” is meant to provide the investment adviser with 20% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle did not apply if the net investment income exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and

• 20% of the amount of pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized) is payable to OXLC Management (once the hurdle is reached and the “catch-up” is achieved, 20% of all pre-incentive fee net investment income thereafter is allocated to OXLC Management).

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

There is no offset in subsequent quarters for any quarter in which an incentive fee is not earned. For the six months ended September 30, 2019, the Fund recognized incentive fee expense of approximately $8.1 million. At September 30, 2019, the Fund had an incentive fee payable of approximately $4.2 million.

Oxford Funds assists the Fund in determining and publishing the Fund’s net asset value, overseeing the preparation and filing of the Fund’s tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to the Fund’s stockholders, and generally overseeing the payment of the Fund’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Fund by others. Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon the Fund’s allocable portion of Oxford Funds’ overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, and the Fund’s allocable portion of the compensation of the Fund’s chief financial officer and any administrative support staff, including accounting personnel. Other expenses that are paid by the Fund include legal, compliance, audit and tax services, market data services, excise taxes, if any, and miscellaneous office expenses. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party. The costs associated with the functions performed by OXLC’s chief compliance officer are paid indirectly by the Fund pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the Fund and Alaric Compliance Services, LLC.

Until July 31, 2018, independent directors received an annual fee of $75,000, which was increased to $90,000 effective August 1, 2018. In addition, the independent directors receive $2,000 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending each Board of Directors meeting, $1,500 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending each Valuation Committee meeting and $1,000 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending each Audit Committee meeting. The Chairman of the Audit Committee also receives an additional annual fee of $10,000. No compensation is paid to directors who are interested persons of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act.

Certain directors, officers and other related parties, including members of OXLC Management, owned, directly or indirectly, an aggregate 1.1% of the common stock of the Fund at September 30, 2019.

Co-Investment Exemptive Relief

On June 14, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an order permitting OXLC and certain of its affiliates to complete negotiated co-investment transactions in portfolio companies, subject to certain conditions (the “Order”). Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions to the Order, OXLC and certain of its affiliates are now permitted, together with any future business development companies, registered closed-end funds and certain private funds, each of whose investment adviser is OXLC’s investment adviser or an investment adviser controlling, controlled by, or under common control with OXLC’s investment adviser, to co-invest in negotiated investment opportunities where doing so would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, providing OXLC’s stockholders with access to a broader array of investment opportunities.

Pursuant to the Order, OXLC is permitted to co-invest in such investment opportunities with its affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of its independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including, but not limited to, that (1) the terms of the potential co-investment transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to OXLC and its stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of OXLC or its stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the potential co-investment transaction is consistent with the interests of OXLC’s stockholders and is consistent with OXLC’s then-current investment objective and strategies.

NOTE 6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Fund places its cash in an overnight money market account and, at times, cash and cash equivalents may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of investments, which will subject the Fund to a risk of significant loss if any of these investments defaults on its obligations if those sectors experience a market downturn.

NOTE 7. DISTRIBUTIONS

For the six months ended September 30, 2019, the Fund declared and paid distributions on common stock of $0.81 per share, or $40,835,129. The Fund declared and paid distributions on common stock of $1.62 per share, or $57,014,731, for the year ended March 31, 2019. The tax character of distributions paid for the six months ended September 30, 2019 represented, on an estimated basis, $35,914,573 million from ordinary income and $4,920,556 million from tax return of capital. For the six months ended September 30, 2019, the amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates (based on an average of our three most recent years’ reported tax character) and are not being provided for U.S. tax reporting purposes. Because the Fund believes the historical tax characteristic of distributions is the most useful information which is readily available, the Fund has used the average of the three most recent years in providing the estimates herein. However, the timing and character of distributions for U.S. federal income tax purposes (which are determined in accordance with the U.S. federal income tax rules which may differ from GAAP) may be materially different than the historical information the Fund used in providing the estimates herein.

The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended March 31, 2019 represented, on an estimated basis, $47,264,503 from ordinary income and $9,750,228 from tax return of capital. The ultimate tax character of distributions is unknown until our tax return is filed. For the six months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended March 31, 2019 the Fund also declared and paid dividends on preferred stock of $5,692,945 and $11,385,890, respectively. The tax character of distributions paid on preferred stock represented ordinary income.

Pursuant to the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Fund had available $47,655,036 of long-term capital losses, which can be used to offset future capital gains. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Fund utilized $3,491,702 of capital loss carryforward. These losses represent post-RIC modernization losses not subject to expiration. Under the current law, capital losses related to securities realized after October 31 and prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be deferred as occurring the first day of the following fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Fund had no losses to defer.

As of March 31, 2019, the estimated components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Distributable ordinary income	$	—
Distributable long-term capital gains (capital loss carry forward)		(47,655,036	)
Unrealized depreciation on investments	$	(72,022,456	)
Other timing differences		(6,750	)

The tax basis components of accumulated earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities due to temporary book/tax differences primarily arising from investments in CLO equity investments and permanent book/tax differences attributable to CLO equity investments. For the year ended March 31, 2019, the permanent differences between financial and tax reporting were due to basis adjustments on

As of September 30, 2019, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for tax purposes was $17,415,208, and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation was $208,486,890. For tax purposes, the cost basis of the portfolio investments at September 30, 2019 was $781,632,130.

At any time on or after the optional redemption date, at the Fund’s sole option, the Fund may redeem the Term Shares at a redemption price per share equal to the sum of the $25 liquidation preference per share plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends, if any, on such Term Shares. The Fund, with the authorization by the Board of Directors, may repurchase any of the Term Preferred Shares from time to time in the open market and effectively extinguish the debt.

NOTE 9. BORROWINGS RELATED TO SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENT TO REPURCHASE

On January 2, 2018, the Fund entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”) with Nomura Securities International, Inc. (“Nomura”). Pursuant to the MRA and a transaction confirmation, The Fund entered into a repurchase transaction (the “Repo”) with Nomura pursuant to which the Fund sold CLO securities to Nomura with a market value of approximately $106.2 million, at January 2, 2018, for a purchase price of approximately $42.5 million. At the end of the Repo term, the Fund is obligated to repurchase those securities from Nomura, and Nomura is obligated to sell the securities to the Fund, for the original purchase price of $42.5 million plus accrued but unpaid funding costs. The Repo had a nine-month term, from trade date, that may be extended by mutual agreement. The Repo has a funding cost of 3-month LIBOR plus 3.15 percent per annum, which may be adjusted in the event of an extension of the Repo term. On October 11, 2018, the MRA was amended and restated to extend the Repo term. Under this agreement, the term of the Repo was extended until July 2, 2019. On May 1, 2019, the Fund amended the Repo with Nomura to (i) extend the maturity date of the Repo from July 2, 2019 to January 2, 2020, and (ii) reduce the funding cost of the Repo from

(3) Management monitors available taxable earnings, including net investment income and realized capital gains, to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the period. To the extent the Fund’s taxable earnings fall below the total amount of the Fund’s distributions for that fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a tax return of capital to the Fund’s stockholders. The ultimate tax character of the Fund’s earnings cannot be determined until tax returns are prepared after the end of the fiscal year. The information provided is based on estimates available at each respective fiscal year end, see “Note 6. Distributions”.

(4) Total return based on market value is calculated assuming that shares of the Fund’s common stock were purchased at the market price as of the beginning of the period, and that distribution, capital gains and other distributions were reinvested as provided for in the Fund’s distribution reinvestment plan, excluding any discounts, and that the total number of shares were sold at the closing market price per share on the last day of the period. The computation does not reflect any sales commission investors may incur in purchasing or selling shares of the Fund.

(5) Total return based on net asset value (“NAV”) is the change in ending NAV per share plus distributions per share paid during the period assuming participation in the Fund’s distribution reinvestment plan divided by the beginning NAV per share.

(6) Portfolio turnover rate is calculated using the lesser of the year-to-date purchases or sales and repayments of investments divided by the monthly average of the fair value of total investments. Excluded from both numerator and denominator is the fair value of all investments whose maturity date was one year or less.

(7) Annualized as of September 30, 2019.

NOTE 14. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The U.S. capital markets have experienced periods of volatility and disruption. Disruptions in the capital markets tend to increase the spread between the yields realized on risk-free and higher risk securities, resulting in illiquidity in parts of the capital markets. The Fund believes these conditions may reoccur in the future. A prolonged period of market illiquidity may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Adverse economic conditions could also limit the Fund’s access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Fund. These events could limit the Fund’s investment purchases, limit the Fund’s ability to grow and negatively impact the Fund’s operating results.

OXLC Management’s investment team also presently manages the portfolios of Oxford Square Capital Corp., a publicly-traded business development company that invests principally in the debt of U.S.-based companies and CLOs. Additionally, OXLC Management’s investment team manages the portfolio of Oxford Bridge, LLC, Oxford Bridge II, LLC, and Oxford Gate Master Fund, LLC, limited liability companies that invest principally in the equity of CLOs. In certain instances, the Fund may co-invest on a concurrent basis with affiliates of its investment adviser, subject to compliance with applicable regulations and regulatory guidance and our written allocation policies. On June 14, 2017, the SEC issued the Order permitting us and certain of our affiliates to complete negotiated co-investment transactions in portfolio companies, subject to certain conditions. Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions to the Order, we and certain of our affiliates are now permitted, together with any future business development companies, registered closed-end funds and certain private funds, each of whose investment adviser is our investment adviser or an investment adviser controlling, controlled by, or under common control with our investment adviser, to co-invest in negotiated investment opportunities where doing so would otherwise be prohibited under the 1940 Act, providing our stockholders with access to a broader array of investment opportunities. Pursuant to the Order, we are permitted to co-invest in such investment opportunities with our affiliates if a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including, but not limited to, that (1) the terms of the potential co-investment transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching in respect of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned, and (2) the potential co-investment transaction is consistent with the interests of our stockholders and is consistent with our then-current investment objective and strategies.

NOTE 14. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (cont.)

Given the structure of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement with OXLC Management, any general increase in interest rates will likely have the effect of making it easier for OXLC Management to meet the quarterly hurdle rate for payment of net investment income incentive fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement without any additional increase in relative performance on the part of the Fund’s investment adviser. In addition, in view of the catch-up provision applicable to income incentive fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement, OXLC Management could potentially receive a significant portion of the increase in the Fund’s investment income attributable to such a general increase in interest rates. If that were to occur, the Fund’s increase in net earnings, if any, would likely be significantly smaller than the relative increase in OXLC Management’s net investment income incentive fee resulting from such a general increase in interest rates.

The Fund’s portfolio consists of equity and junior debt investments in CLO vehicles, which involve a number of significant risks. CLO vehicles are typically highly levered, and therefore the junior debt and equity tranches that the Fund invests in are subject to a higher degree of risk of total loss. As of September 30, 2019, the CLO vehicles in which the Fund was invested had average leverage of 10.5 times and ranged from approximately 5.4 times to 14.5 times levered. In particular, investors in CLO vehicles indirectly bear risks of the underlying debt investments held by such CLO vehicles.

The Fund generally has the right to receive payments only from the CLO vehicles, and generally does not have direct rights against the underlying borrowers or the entity that sponsored the CLO vehicle. While the CLO vehicles the Fund 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 Fund generally pays a proportionate share of the CLO vehicles’ administrative and other expenses. Although it is difficult to predict whether the prices of indices and securities underlying CLO vehicles will rise or fall, these prices (and, therefore, the prices of the CLO vehicles) 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 vehicle in which we invest to satisfy certain financial covenants, including with respect to adequate collateralization and/or interest coverage tests, could lead to a reduction in its payments to us. In the event that a CLO vehicle fails certain tests, holders of debt senior to us may be entitled to additional payments that would, in turn, reduce the payments we would otherwise be entitled to receive. Separately, OXLC may incur expenses to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting CLO vehicle or any other investment we may make. If any of these occur, it could materially and adversely affect the Fund’s operating results and cash flows.

The interests the Fund has acquired in CLO vehicles are generally thinly traded or have only a limited trading market. CLO vehicles are typically privately offered and sold, even in the secondary market. As a result, investments in CLO vehicles may be characterized as illiquid securities. In addition to the general risks associated with investing in debt securities, CLO vehicles 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 Fund’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 vehicle or unexpected investment results. The Fund’s net asset value may also decline over time if the Fund’s principal recovery with respect to CLO equity investments is less than the price that the Fund paid for those investments.

Section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act added a provision to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), requiring the seller, sponsor or securitizer of a securitization vehicle to retain no less than five percent of the credit risk in assets it sells into a securitization and prohibiting such securitizer from directly or indirectly hedging or otherwise transferring the retained credit risk. The responsible federal agencies adopted final rules implementing these restrictions on October 22, 2014. The risk retention rules became effective with respect to CLOs two years after publication in the Federal Register. Under the final rules, the asset manager of a CLO is considered the sponsor of a securitization vehicle and is required to retain

NOTE 14. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (cont.)

five percent of the credit risk in the CLO, which may be retained horizontally in the equity tranche of the CLO or vertically as a five percent interest in each tranche of the securities issued by the CLO.

Although the final rules contain an exemption from such requirements for the asset manager of a CLO if, among other things, the originator or lead arranger of all of the loans acquired by the CLO retain such risk at the asset level and, at origination of such asset, takes a loan tranche of at least 20% of the aggregate principal balance, it is possible that the originators and lead arrangers of loans in this market will not agree to assume this risk or provide such retention at origination of the asset in a manner that would provide meaningful relief from the risk retention requirements for CLO managers.

The Fund believes that the U.S. risk retention requirements imposed for CLO managers under Section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act has created some uncertainty in the market in regard to future CLO issuance. Given that certain CLO managers may require capital provider partners to satisfy this requirement, the Fund believes that this may create opportunities and additional risks for the Fund in the future.

On February 9, 2018, a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the federal agencies exceeded their authority under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in adopting the final rules as applied to asset managers of open-market CLOs. On April 5, 2018, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia entered an order implementing the D.C. Circuit Ruling and thereby vacated the U.S. Risk Retention Rules insofar as they apply to CLO managers of “open market CLOs”.

Further, to the extent income from the Fund’s CLO equity investments (which the Fund expects to decline as those vehicles deleverage after the end of their respective reinvestment periods) declines or if the Fund transitions its portfolio into lower yielding investments, the Fund’s ability to pay future distributions may be harmed.

On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear if at that time whether or not LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large US financial institutions, is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities. On June 12, 2019, the Staff from the SEC’s Division of Corporate Finance, Division of Investment Management, Division of Trading and Markets, and Office of the Chief Accountant issued a statement about the potentially significant effects on financial markets and market participants when LIBOR is discontinued in 2021 and no longer available as a reference benchmark rate. The Staff encouraged all market participants to identify contracts that reference LIBOR and begin transitions to alternative rates. Recently, the CLOs we have invested in have included, or have been amended to include, language permitting the CLO investment manager, to implement a market replacement rate (like those proposed by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) upon the occurrence of certain material disruption events. However, we cannot ensure that all CLOs in which we are invested will have such provisions, nor can we ensure the CLO investment managers will undertake the suggested amendments when able. We believe that because CLO managers and other CLO market participants have been preparing for an eventual transition away from LIBOR, we do not anticipate such a transition to have a material impact on the liquidity or value of any of our LIBOR-referenced CLO investments. However, because the future of LIBOR at this time is uncertain and the specific effects of a transition away from LIBOR cannot be determined with certainty as of the date of this report, a transition away from LIBOR could:

• adversely impact the pricing, liquidity, value of, return on and trading for a broad array of financial products, including any LIBOR-linked CLO investments;

• require extensive changes to documentation that governs or references LIBOR or LIBOR-based products, including, for example, pursuant to time-consuming renegotiations of existing documentation to modify the terms of outstanding investments;

NOTE 14. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (cont.)

• result in inquiries or other actions from regulators in respect of our preparation and readiness for the replacement of LIBOR with one or more alternative reference rates;

• result in disputes, litigation or other actions with CLO investment managers, regarding the interpretation and enforceability of provisions in our LIBOR-based CLO investments, such as fallback language or other related provisions, including, in the case of fallbacks to the alternative reference rates, any economic, legal, operational or other impact resulting from the fundamental differences between LIBOR and the various alternative reference rates;

• require the transition and/or development of appropriate systems and analytics to effectively transition our risk management processes from LIBOR-based products to those based on one or more alternative reference rates, which may prove challenging given the limited history of the proposed alternative reference rates; and

• cause us to incur additional costs in relation to any of the above factors.

OXLC Management anticipates that the CLO vehicles in which the Fund invests may constitute “passive foreign investment companies” (“PFICs”). If the Fund acquires shares in a PFIC (including equity tranche investments in CLO vehicles that are PFICs), the Fund may be subject to U.S. 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 distribution by the Fund to its stockholders. Certain elections may be available to mitigate or eliminate such tax on excess distributions, but such elections (if available) will generally require the Fund to recognize its share of the PFIC’s income for each year regardless of whether the Fund receives any distributions from such PFIC. The Fund must nonetheless distribute such income to maintain its tax treatment as a RIC.

If the Fund holds more than 10% of the shares in a foreign corporation that is treated as a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) (including equity tranche investments in a CLO vehicle treated as a CFC), the Fund may be treated as receiving a deemed distribution (taxable as ordinary income) each year from such foreign corporation in an amount equal to the Fund’s pro rata share of the corporation’s income for the tax year (including both ordinary earnings and capital gains). If the Fund is required to include such deemed distributions from a CFC in the Fund’s income, it will be 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 Fund may be required to include in its income its proportionate share of the income of certain CLO investments to the extent that such CLOs are PFICs for which the Fund has made a qualifying electing fund (“QEF”) election or are CFCs. To qualify as a RIC, OXLC must, among other thing, derive in each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from certain sources specified in the Code (the “90% Income Test”). The income inclusions from a QEF or a CFC will be “good income” for purposes of this 90% Income Test provided that they are derived in connection with OXLC’s business of investing in stocks and securities or the QEF or the CFC distributes such income to OXLC in the same taxable year to which the income is included in its income.

Legislation commonly referred to as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act,” or “FATCA,” generally imposes a 30% withholding tax on payments of certain types of income to foreign financial institutions (“FFIs”) unless such FFIs either (i) enter into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury to report certain required information with respect to accounts held by U.S. persons (or held by foreign entities that have U.S. persons as substantial owners) or (ii) reside in a jurisdiction that has entered into an intergovernmental agreement (“IGA”) with the United States to collect and share such information and are in compliance with the terms of such IGA and any enabling legislation or regulations. The types of income subject to the tax include U.S. source interest and dividends. While existing U.S. Treasury regulations would also require withholding on payments of the gross proceeds from the sale of any property that could produce U.S. source interest or dividends, the U.S. Treasury Department has indicated in subsequent proposed regulations its intent to eliminate this requirement.

NOTE 14. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (cont.)

Most CLO vehicles in which OXLC invests will be treated as non-U.S. financial entities for this purpose, and therefore will be required to comply with these reporting requirements to avoid the 30% withholding tax. If a CLO vehicle in which OXLC invests fails to properly comply with these reporting requirements, it could reduce the amounts available to distribute to equity and junior debt holders in such CLO vehicle, which could materially and adversely affect OXLC’s operating results and cash flows.

If the Fund is required to include amounts in income prior to receiving distributions representing such income, the Fund 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. If the Fund 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. For additional discussion regarding the tax implications of a RIC, see “Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — U.S. Federal Income Taxes”.

The Fund’s Term Shares pay dividends at a fixed dividend rate. Prices of fixed income investments vary inversely with changes in market yields. The market yields on securities comparable to the Term Shares may increase, which would likely result in a decline in the secondary market price of such shares prior to the term redemption date. The Fund may be unable to pay dividends on the Term Shares under some circumstances. The terms of any future indebtedness OXLC may incur could preclude the payment of dividends in respect of equity securities, including such shares, under certain conditions.

As a registered closed-end investment company, OXLC is required to comply with the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act and the Articles Supplementary governing OXLC’s Preferred Stock. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund may not issue additional Preferred Stock if immediately after such issuance the Fund will not have an asset coverage of at least 200% (defined as the ratio of the Fund’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 OXLC’s outstanding Preferred Stock). In addition, the Articles Supplementary governing OXLC’s Term Preferred Shares require that the Fund have an asset coverage of at least 200% as of the end of each fiscal quarter. If the asset coverage is not at least 200% as of such measurement dates, OXLC may not be able to incur additional debt or issue additional shares of Preferred Stock and could be forced to sell a portion of its investments to repurchase or redeem some shares of Preferred Stock when it is disadvantageous to do so, which could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s operations. Further, OXLC may be restricted from making distributions to holders of the Fund’s common stock if the Fund does not have asset coverage of at least 200%.

Given the ten-year original terms, and potential for early redemption, of the Term Preferred Shares, holders of such shares may face an increased reinvestment risk, which is the risk that the return on an investment purchased with proceeds from the sale or redemption of such shares may be lower than the return previously obtained from the investment in such shares, see “Note 8. Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock”.

The Fund does not intend to have the Term Preferred Shares rated by any rating agency. Unrated securities usually trade at a discount to similar, rated securities. As a result, there is a risk that any such shares may trade at a price that is lower than they might otherwise trade if rated by a rating agency.

On October 18, 2019, the Fund entered into a $12.5 million repurchase transaction facility (the “Repo Facility”) with Nomura Securities International, Inc. (“Nomura”). Pursuant to the MRA and a transaction facility confirmation, the Fund may sell securities to Nomura from time to time with a corresponding repurchase obligation at an agreed-upon price 30 to 60 days after the sale date (“Reverse Repo”). The Repo Facility has a funding cost of 1-month LIBOR plus 2.05% per annum for each Reverse Repo transaction and is subject to a facility fee of 0.85% per annum on the full $12.5 million facility amount. The Repo Facility expires on October 18, 2020, subject to optional termination or extension that is mutually agreed. The Fund will account for these Reverse Repo transactions as secured financings for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP.

The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance and noted no other events that necessitate adjustments to or disclosure in the financial statements.

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN

We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of our distributions on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash as provided below. As a result, if our Board of Directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash distribution, our stockholders who have not opted out of our distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash distributions.

No action will be required on the part of a registered stockholder to have his cash distribution reinvested in shares of our common stock. A registered stockholder may elect to receive an entire distribution in cash by notifying Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the plan administrator and our transfer agent and registrar, by telephone, through the Internet or in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator no later than the record date for distributions to stockholders. The plan administrator will set up an account for shares acquired through the plan for each stockholder who has not elected to receive distributions in cash and hold such shares in non-certificated form. Upon request by a stockholder participating in the plan, received by telephone, through the Internet or writing prior to the record date, the plan administrator will, instead of crediting shares to the participant’s account, issue a certificate registered in the participant’s name for the number of whole shares of our common stock and a check for any fractional share, less any applicable fees.

Those stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other financial intermediary may receive distributions in cash by notifying their broker or other financial intermediary of their election.

We expect to use primarily newly-issued shares to implement the plan, whether our shares are trading at a premium or at a discount to net asset value. Under such circumstances, the number of shares to be issued to a stockholder is determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the distribution payable to such stockholder by an amount equal to ninety-five (95%) percent of the market price per share of our common stock at the close of regular trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the valuation date fixed by our Board of Directors for such distribution. Market price per share on that date will be the closing price for such shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or, if no sale is reported for such day, at the average of their electronically reported bid and asked prices. We reserve the right to purchase shares in the open market in connection with our implementation of the plan. Shares purchased in open market transactions by the plan administrator will be allocated to a stockholder based on the average purchase price, excluding any brokerage charges or other charges, of all shares of common stock purchased in the open market. The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after giving effect to payment of the distribution cannot be established until the value per share at which additional shares will be issued has been determined and elections of our stockholders have been tabulated.

There is no charge to stockholders for receiving their distributions in the form of additional shares of our common stock. Any transaction fees, brokerage charges, plan administrator’s fees or any other charges for handling distributions in stock are paid by us. There are no brokerage charges with respect to shares we have issued directly as a result of distributions payable in stock. If a participant elects by telephonic, Internet or written notice to the plan administrator to have the plan administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the plan administrator in the participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the plan administrator is authorized to deduct a $2.50 transaction fee plus brokerage charges from the proceeds.

Stockholders who receive distributions in the form of stock are subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as are stockholders who elect to receive their distributions in cash. The amount of the distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be equal to the fair market value of the stock received. A stockholder’s basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of stock received in a distribution from us will be equal to the amount treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The plan may be terminated by us upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by us. All correspondence concerning the plan should be directed to the plan administrator as follows: through the Internet at www.computershare/investor, telephone number is 1-800-426-5523 and written correspondence can be mailed to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 30170, College Station, TX 77845.

Messrs. Cohen and Rosenthal do not receive any additional compensation from Oxford Lane Management in connection with the management of our portfolio.

The compensation of Mr. Rubin, our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Corporate Secretary, is paid by our administrator, Oxford Funds, subject to reimbursement by us of an allocable portion of such compensation for services rendered by Mr. Rubin to Oxford Lane Capital.

Mr. Cummins, our Chief Compliance Officer, is a director of Alaric, and performs his functions under the terms of an agreement between us and Alaric.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

At an in-person meeting of our Board of Directors held on July 31, 2019, our Board of Directors unanimously voted to re-approve the Investment Advisory Agreement. In reaching a decision to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors reviewed a significant amount of information provided by Oxford Lane Management in response to questionnaires provided by counsel to the independent directors on behalf of the independent directors and considered and concluded, among other things:

• The nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services to be provided to us by Oxford Lane Management, including with respect to the investment process and Oxford Lane Management’s policies and guidelines currently in place to monitor and manage the risk and volatility associated with the Fund’s portfolio, and the qualifications and abilities of the professional personnel of Oxford Lane Management and the compensation structure for such personnel, and concluded that such services are satisfactory;

• The investment performance of OXLC and Oxford Lane Management including a comparison to the performance of OXLC’s peer group, and concluded that OXLC’s performance is reasonable in comparison to its peers;

• Comparative data with respect to advisory fees or similar expenses paid by other closed-end management investment companies with similar investment objectives, and concluded that the total advisory fees paid by OXLC to Oxford Lane Management were not unreasonable;

• Our historical and projected operating expenses and expense ratio compared to closed-end management investment companies with similar investment objectives, and concluded that our operating expenses were reasonable;

• Any existing and potential sources of indirect income to Oxford Lane Management or Oxford Funds from their relationships with OXLC and the profitability of those relationships, and concluded that Oxford Lane Management’s profitability was not excessive with respect to us;

• The services to be performed and the personnel performing such services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and concluded that the services to be performed and the personnel performing such services were satisfactory;

• The organizational capability and financial condition of Oxford Lane Management and its affiliates, and concluded that the organizational capability and financial condition of Oxford Lane Management were reasonable;

• The due diligence-related expenses, travel expenses, and expenses associated with investigating and monitoring investments, and concluded that such expenses were reasonable; and

• The possibility of obtaining similar services from other third party service providers or through an internally managed structure, and concluded that our current externally managed structure with Oxford Lane Management as our investment advisor was satisfactory.

Based on the information reviewed and the discussions detailed above, the Board of Directors, including all of the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act, and assisted by independent counsel, concluded that the fees payable to Oxford Lane Management pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement were not unreasonable, and comparable to the fees paid by other management investment companies with similar investment objectives, in relation to the services to be provided. The Board of Directors did not assign relative weights to the above factors or the other factors considered by it. Individual members of the Board of Directors may have given different weights to different factors.
