We believe that the strength of the Operating Company’s unique investment strategy – which focuses on acyclical “defensive growth” companies that are well researched by New Mountain Capital, L.L.C., a leading private equity firm – is underscored by continued strong credit performance. The Operating Company has had only one portfolio company, representing $5.9 million of loans, or less than 0.4% of the cost of all investments made since its inception in October 2008, go on non-accrual.
