There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the investment objectives. Investment Strategies The Company is focused on income generation, capital preservation, and providing risk-adjusted rates of return. The Company attempts to achieve its investment objective through investment in preferred equity, debt and subordinated debt, structured notes and securities, convertible securities, regulatory capital securities and common equity issued or structured by banks and financial institutions including community banks, larger regional, national and money center banks domiciled in the United States and foreign and global money center banks. (“banking-related securities”). The Company makes investments that will generally be expected to pay the Company dividends and interest on a current basis and generate capital gains over time. The Company may seek to enhance the Company’s returns through the use of warrants, options and other equity conversion features. The Company has a policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in such banking-related securities. The Company focuses its portfolio on making long-term, passive, non-control investments in the banking sector, including “regulatory capital securities” which are securities issued or structured by banks seeking capital that is treated more favorably under banking regulations than other types of capital, acquisitions and other refinancing activities regulatory capital securities are issued or structured by a bank to maintain or reduce its regulatory capital requirements by transferring certain credit risks to investors. Regulatory capital securities may be structured in a variety of ways and are highly bespoke to the needs of the bank or other deposit-taking institution involved. Regulatory capital securities may be in the form of structured notes (e.g., credit-linked notes), contingent convertible securities, and other structured products or transactions. The Company intends to continue to direct investments in numerous issuers differentiated by asset size, business models and geographies. The Company also may invest in an option strategy that will normally consist of writing (selling) call options on bank equity securities in the Company’s portfolio (“covered calls”). The Company invests in foreign securities and the Company is not limited in the amount of assets the Company may invest in such foreign securities. The Company indirectly invests in securities issued or structured by banks through structured securities and credit derivatives, including collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and credit-linked </div> <div> notes. The Company currently invests in credit-linked notes for which the performance and payment of principal and interest is tied to a reference asset such as a pool of loans originated by a bank and held on its balance sheet. The Company also invests in equity and junior debt tranches of CLOs, and other debt securitizations, that are collateralized by a portfolio consisting primarily of unsecured, subordinated loans made to (and, to a lesser extent, unsecured, subordinated debentures and notes issued by) community banks or savings institutions or their respective holding companies. The Company may also invest in other securities and instruments that are related to these investments or that the Advisor believes are consistent with the Company’s investment objectives, including senior debt tranches of CLOs and loan accumulation facilities. These indirect investments provide exposure to and focus on the same types of direct investments that the Company makes in banking companies and, accordingly, the Company’s investments in structured securities (such as credit-linked notes and CLOs) and credit derivatives that provide exposure to the banking industry are considered an investment in banking securities. The loans or other assets pledged as collateral in these securitizations may not be publicly rated by any rating agency, and may have greater credit and liquidity risks than investment-grade corporate obligations that are publicly rated. The Company believes that the use of such instruments complements the Company’s overall strategy and enhance the diversity of the Company’s holdings. The Company may also incur additional leverage to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act. Although the Company normally seeks to invest substantially all of the Company’s assets in banking-related securities, the Company reserves the ability to invest up to 20% of the Company’s assets in other types of securities and instruments. Additionally, the Company may take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Company’s investment strategy in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. If the Company does so, the Company may not achieve the Company’s investment objective. The Company may also choose not to take defensive positions. Investment Restrictions The restrictions listed below are policies of the Company. Except as described herein, the Company may not alter these policies without the approval of the holders of a majority of its outstanding shares. For purposes of the foregoing, “a majority of the outstanding shares” means (i) 67% or more of such shares present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of such shares are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of such shares, whichever is less. Unless otherwise indicated, all limitations applicable to the Company’s investments apply only at the time a transaction is entered into. Any subsequent change in the percentage of the Company’s assets invested in certain securities or other instruments resulting from market fluctuations or other changes in the Company’s total assets, will not require the Company to dispose of an investment. <table cellpadding="0" style="font:9.5pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;width:100%;border-spacing:0px"> <tr style="font:9.5pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;vertical-align:top"> <td style="font:9.5pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;width:0in"></td> <td style="font:9.5pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;width:0.25in">1.</td> <td style="font:9.5pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;text-align:justify">The Company may borrow money, make loans or issue senior securities to the fullest extent permitted by the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or applicable orders of the SEC, as such statute, rules, regulations or orders may be amended from time to time.</td> </tr> </table> <table cellpadding="0" style="font:9.5pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;width:100%;border-spacing:0px"> <tr style="font:9.5pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;vertical-align:top"> <td style="font:9.5pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;width:0in"></td> <td style="font:9.5pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;width:0.25in">2.</td> <td style="font:9.5pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif">Except with respect to the banking industry, no more than 25% of the Company’s total assets may be invested in a particular industry or group of industries.

You could lose some or all of your investment. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the Company’s investment objective. An investment in the Company’s common stock involves significant risks, including: <div> <div> Risks Related to Investing in the Banking Sector. The Company’s assets will be concentrated in the banking industry, potentially exposing the Company to greater risks than companies that invest in multiple sectors. ● The Company primarily invests in equity and debt securities issued by banks, subjecting the Company to unique risks. ● All of the Company’s investments are subject to liquidity risk, but the Company may face higher liquidity risk if the Company invests in debt obligations and other securities that are unrated and issued by banks that have no corporate rating. ● The Company expects to keep the Company’s portfolio of securities and investments focused on the bank sector, which would make the Company more economically vulnerable in the event of a downturn in the banking industry. ● A large number of banks may fail during times of economic stress. ● The Company expects to keep the Company’s portfolio of securities and investments focused on the bank sector including community banks whose business is subject to greater lending risks than larger banks. </div> </div> Risks Related to Banking Regulations and Banking Investments Affecting the Company’s Business <div style="display:none"> <div> </div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> <div> <div> ● The banking institutions in which the Company invests, including global money center banks, are subject to substantial regulations that could adversely affect their ability to operate and the value of the Company’s investments. In addition, geopolitical instability, natural disasters, including outbreaks of infectious diseases, or in times of significant global market downturns, which may impact the value of regulatory capital securities or other investments. ● Regulatory capital securities are subject to several risks. Banking regulators could change or amend existing banking regulations which could affect the regulatory treatment of regulatory capital securities, where stricter regulation could make regulatory capital securities less desirable, or undesirable, for banks to issue, reducing the supply of new investments. Should an adverse regulatory development occur in the future, it would likely result in the bank issuer of such securities being able to redeem an investment early, which subjects the Company to reinvestment risk. Regulatory capital securities remain subject to the same sector specific and other risks as any banking-related investment that the Company may acquire, including, but not limited to, credit risk, interest rate risk, currency risk, prepayments, adverse changes in market value or liquidity and the quality of the loans extended by each bank to its clients. ● The Company may become subject to adverse current or future banking regulations. ● Ownership of the Company’s stock by certain types of regulated institutions may subject the Company to additional regulations. ● Investments in banking institutions and transactions related to the Company’s portfolio investments may require approval from one or more regulatory authorities. ● If the Company were deemed to be a bank holding company or thrift holding company, bank holding companies or thrift holding companies that invest in the Company would be subject to certain restrictions and regulations. ● The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, has issued a new credit impairment model, the Current Expected Credit Loss, or CECL model, which must be implemented by banks and certain other companies beginning in 2021. Under the CECL model, entities subject to the model will be required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held for investment and held-to-maturity debt securities, at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement will take place at the time the financial asset is first added to the balance sheet and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the “incurred loss” model, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. CECL may create more volatility in the companies in which the Company invests, and this in turn could affect the value of the Company’s portfolio. </div> </div> <div> <div> Risks Related to the Company’s Investments ● The Company’s investments will be subject to dividend and interest rate fluctuations, and the Company is subject to interest rate risk. In particular, the Company’s investments in subordinated or unsecured debt securities that are perpetual or have maturities in excess of ten years subject the Company to a high degree of interest rate risk. ● Most of the Company’s assets will be unrated, illiquid, and their fair value may not be readily determinable. As a consequence, the Company may be unable to sell such assets at an attractive value for a period of time, if at all. The assets in which the Company invests may not be publicly </div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> rated by any rating agency, and may have greater credit and liquidity risks than investment-grade corporate obligations that are publicly rated. ● The Company’s investments in regulatory capital securities subject the Company to the risks of underlying bank assets. ● Risks of credit-linked notes include those risks associated with fixed-income instruments and those of the underlying reference instrument or credit obligation including but not limited to market risk, interest rate risk, credit (default) risk, counterparty risk, valuation risk, foreign security and foreign currency risk. ● The Company may acquire CLO equity and junior debt securities that are subordinated to more senior tranches of CLO debt. CLOs present risks including credit(default), interest rate and prepayment risks. Investors in CLO securities indirectly bear risks of the collateral held by such CLOs. The prices of CLOs (and, therefore, the prices of the CLOs’ securities) are influenced by the same types of political and economic events that affect issuers of securities and capital markets generally. CLO interests are generally thinly traded or have only a limited trading market. CLO securities are typically privately offered and sold, even in the secondary market. As a result, investments in CLO securities are illiquid and the price at which these securities are sold may be less than the price used to calculate the Company’s NAV. CLO equity and junior debt securities are typically highly levered and, therefore, the junior debt and equity tranches in which the Company is currently invested and in which it may invest will be subject to a higher degree of risk of total loss. The loans or other assets pledged as collateral in a CLO may not be publicly rated by any rating agency, and may have greater credit and liquidity risks than investment-grade corporate obligations that are publicly rated. ● Foreign securities may experience greater price volatility and changes in value. Investments denominated in foreign currencies as well as currency hedge transactions will be subject to fluctuations in value. ● Derivatives transactions may limit the ’s income or result in losses. ● The Company may invest in securities rated below investment grade or which are unrated. Securities rated below investment grade and certain unrated securities are considered to be speculative, “high yield,” or “junk” and are subject to greater market and credit risks, and accordingly, that the risk of non-payment or default is higher than investment-grade securities. In addition, such securities may be more sensitive to interest rate changes and more likely to receive early returns of principal in falling rate environments. </div> </div> <div> <div> Risks Related to the Company’s Use of Leverage ● The Company currently has a bank loan to finance investments as a form of leverage. the Company also has authority to issue preferred stock or engage in reverse repurchase agreements to finance investments. ● Leverage exaggerates the effects of market downturns or upturns on the NAV and market value of the Company’s common stock, as well as on distributions to holders of the Company’s common stock. ● Leverage can also increase the volatility of the Company’s NAV, and expenses related to leverage can reduce the Company’s income. ● In the case of leverage, if the Company’s assets decline in value so that asset coverage requirements for any borrowings or preferred stock would not be met, the Company may be </div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> prevented from paying distributions, which could jeopardize the Company’s qualification for pass-through tax treatment, make the Company liable for excise taxes and/or force the Company to sell portfolio securities at an inopportune time. ● The use of leverage through investments such as CLO equity or junior debt securities that inherently involve leverage, may magnify the Company’s risk of loss. CLO equity or junior debt securities are very highly leveraged, and therefore the CLO securities in which the Company is currently invested and in which the Company intends to invest are subject to a higher degree of loss since the use of leverage magnifies losses. ● The Company utilizes a revolving credit agreement with Texas Capital Bank to provide for a maximum borrowing amount of $70 million and a fee of Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) +2.61%, with a maturity date of May 27, 2028 (the “Credit Facility”). ● The Credit Facility imposes asset coverage requirements, which are more stringent than those imposed by the Investment Company Act, or by the Company’s policies. In addition, the Company agreed not to purchase assets not contemplated by the investment policies and restrictions in effect when the Credit Facility became effective unless changes to these policies and restrictions are consented to by Texas Capital Bank. ● The covenants or guidelines under the Credit Facility could impede the Advisor from fully managing the Company’s portfolio in accordance with the Company’s investment objectives and policies. Furthermore, non-compliance with such covenants or the occurrence of other events could lead to the cancellation of the Credit Facility. ● For as long as the Credit Facility remains in effect, the Company may not incur additional debt under any other facility, except in limited circumstances. ● The Credit Facility allows the Company to prepay borrowings under the Credit Facility at any time. The Company does not anticipate that such guidelines will have a material adverse effect on the holders of the Company’s common stock or on the Company’s ability to achieve the Company’s investment objectives. The Company may also consider alternative measures of obtaining leverage in the future. </div> </div> <div> <div> Risks Related to the Company’s Operations ● The Company’s performance is highly dependent on the Advisor. The Advisor may rely on assumptions that prove to be incorrect. ● The Advisor and its affiliates may serve as investment advisor to other funds, investment vehicles and investors, which may create conflicts of interest not in the best interest of the Company or the Company’s stockholders. ● The Company may generate low or negative rates of return on capital, and the Company may not be able to execute the Company’s business plans as expected, if at all. ● The Company’s business model depends to a significant extent upon strong referral relationships, and the Company’s inability to maintain or develop these relationships, as well as the failure of these relationships to generate investment opportunities, could adversely affect the Company’s business. ● If the Company is unable to source investments effectively, the Company may be unable to achieve the Company’s investment objective. </div> <div style="display:none"> <div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> </div> <div> <div> <div> ● The Company’s quarterly results may fluctuate. ● The Company makes distributions to the Company’s stockholders on a quarterly basis. If the amount of any distribution exceeds the Company’s net investment income or capital gains, then all or a portion of such distribution could constitute a return of capital to stockholders rather than dividend income for tax purposes. A return of capital distribution has the effect of lowering stockholders’ basis in their shares, which will result in higher tax liability when the shares are sold, even if such shares have not increased in value or have, in fact, lost value. In addition to the tax consequences, such a distribution is a return of a shareholder’s own investment, but distributed net of Company expenses, and will decrease the funds available for investment by the Company. ● Financing arrangements with lenders or preferred shareholders may limit the Company’s ability to make dividend payments to the Company’s stockholders. ● The Company may change the Company’s business strategy and operational policies without stockholder consent (unless stockholder consent is specifically required by the Investment Company Act), which may result in a determination to pursue riskier business activities. ● Laws and regulations may prohibit the banks in which the Company invests from paying interest and/or dividends to the Company. ● Legal and regulatory changes could occur that may adversely affect the Company. ● The Company may be required to register as a commodity pool operator. ● Market fluctuations caused by force majeure, terrorism, global pandemics, or certain other acts may adversely affect the Company’s performance. The operational and financial performance of some of the portfolio banks in which the Company makes investments may be impacted by pandemics as globally experienced with COVID-19, which may in turn impact the valuation of the Company’s investments and results of the Company’s operations. ● Changes in interest rates may affect the Company’s net investment income, reinvestment risk and the probability of defaults of the Company’s investments. </div> </div> <div> <div> Risks Related to the Advisor and/or its Affiliates ● The Company’s performance is dependent on the Advisor, and the Company may not find a suitable replacement if the management agreement is terminated. ● The departure or death of any of the members of senior management of the Advisor or ArrowMark Partners may adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve the Company’s business objective; The Company’s management agreement does not require the availability to the Company of any particular individuals. ● If the Advisor ceases to be the Company’s manager under the Company’s management agreement, financial institutions that provided the Company’s credit facilities may not provide future financing to the Company. ● The Advisor’s liability is limited under the Company’s management agreement, and the Company has agreed to indemnify the Advisor against certain liabilities. ● There may be potential conflicts of interest between the Company’s management and the Advisor, on one hand, and the interest of the Company’s common stockholders, on the other. </div> <div style="display:none"> <div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> </div> <div> <div> <div> ● The Company is limited in the Company’s ability to conduct transactions with affiliates. ● The Advisor’s investment committee is not independent from its management. ● The Company may compete with the Advisor’s current and future investment vehicles for access to capital and assets. ● There may be other conflicts of interest in the Company’s relationship with the Advisor and/or its affiliates that could negatively affect the Company’s earnings. ● The Advisor’s management of the Company’s business is subject to the oversight of the Company’s board of directors, but the Company’s board of directors will not approve each business decision made by the Advisor. ● The Advisor may be incentivized to incur additional leverage, up to the extent permitted by regulations, even if additional leverage is not in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. </div> </div> <div> <div> Risks Related to Offerings ● The price for the Company’s common stock may be volatile. ● The price for the Company’s common stock is subject to market risk. ● Future offerings of debt securities or preferred stock, which would rank senior to the Company’s common stock upon the Company’s liquidation, and future offerings of equity securities, which would dilute the Company’s existing stockholders and may be senior to the Company’s common stock for the purposes of dividend and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the market value of the Company’s common stock. </div> </div> <div> <div> Risks Related to Taxation ● Despite the Company’s election to be treated as a RIC, the Company may not be able to meet the requirements to maintain an election to be treated as a RIC. ● The Company will be subject to corporate-level federal income tax on all of the Company’s income if the Company is unable to maintain RIC status under Subchapter M of the Code. ● Whether an investment in a RIC is appropriate for a Non-U.S. Stockholder will depend upon the Non-U.S. Stockholder’s particular circumstances. </div> </div> </div> <div> Risks Related to Investing in the Banking Sector. The Company’s assets will be concentrated in the banking industry, potentially exposing the Company to greater risks than companies that invest in multiple sectors. ● The Company primarily invests in equity and debt securities issued by banks, subjecting the Company to unique risks. ● All of the Company’s investments are subject to liquidity risk, but the Company may face higher liquidity risk if the Company invests in debt obligations and other securities that are unrated and issued by banks that have no corporate rating. ● The Company expects to keep the Company’s portfolio of securities and investments focused on the bank sector, which would make the Company more economically vulnerable in the event of a downturn in the banking industry. ● A large number of banks may fail during times of economic stress. ● The Company expects to keep the Company’s portfolio of securities and investments focused on the bank sector including community banks whose business is subject to greater lending risks than larger banks. </div> Risks Related to Banking Regulations and Banking Investments Affecting the Company’s Business <div> </div> <div> ● The banking institutions in which the Company invests, including global money center banks, are subject to substantial regulations that could adversely affect their ability to operate and the value of the Company’s investments.

The Advisor may rely on assumptions that prove to be incorrect. ● The Advisor and its affiliates may serve as investment advisor to other funds, investment vehicles and investors, which may create conflicts of interest not in the best interest of the Company or the Company’s stockholders. ● The Company may generate low or negative rates of return on capital, and the Company may not be able to execute the Company’s business plans as expected, if at all. ● The Company’s business model depends to a significant extent upon strong referral relationships, and the Company’s inability to maintain or develop these relationships, as well as the failure of these relationships to generate investment opportunities, could adversely affect the Company’s business. ● If the Company is unable to source investments effectively, the Company may be unable to achieve the Company’s investment objective. </div> <div> </div> <div> ● The Company’s quarterly results may fluctuate. ● The Company makes distributions to the Company’s stockholders on a quarterly basis. If the amount of any distribution exceeds the Company’s net investment income or capital gains, then all or a portion of such distribution could constitute a return of capital to stockholders rather than dividend income for tax purposes. A return of capital distribution has the effect of lowering stockholders’ basis in their shares, which will result in higher tax liability when the shares are sold, even if such shares have not increased in value or have, in fact, lost value. In addition to the tax consequences, such a distribution is a return of a shareholder’s own investment, but distributed net of Company expenses, and will decrease the funds available for investment by the Company. ● Financing arrangements with lenders or preferred shareholders may limit the Company’s ability to make dividend payments to the Company’s stockholders. ● The Company may change the Company’s business strategy and operational policies without stockholder consent (unless stockholder consent is specifically required by the Investment Company Act), which may result in a determination to pursue riskier business activities. ● Laws and regulations may prohibit the banks in which the Company invests from paying interest and/or dividends to the Company. ● Legal and regulatory changes could occur that may adversely affect the Company. ● The Company may be required to register as a commodity pool operator. ● Market fluctuations caused by force majeure, terrorism, global pandemics, or certain other acts may adversely affect the Company’s performance. The operational and financial performance of some of the portfolio banks in which the Company makes investments may be impacted by pandemics as globally experienced with COVID-19, which may in turn impact the valuation of the Company’s investments and results of the Company’s operations. ● Changes in interest rates may affect the Company’s net investment income, reinvestment risk and the probability of defaults of the Company’s investments. </div> <div> Risks Related to the Advisor and/or its Affiliates ● The Company’s performance is dependent on the Advisor, and the Company may not find a suitable replacement if the management agreement is terminated. ● The departure or death of any of the members of senior management of the Advisor or ArrowMark Partners may adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve the Company’s business objective; The Company’s management agreement does not require the availability to the Company of any particular individuals. ● If the Advisor ceases to be the Company’s manager under the Company’s management agreement, financial institutions that provided the Company’s credit facilities may not provide future financing to the Company. ● The Advisor’s liability is limited under the Company’s management agreement, and the Company has agreed to indemnify the Advisor against certain liabilities. ● There may be potential conflicts of interest between the Company’s management and the Advisor, on one hand, and the interest of the Company’s common stockholders, on the other. </div> <div> </div> <div> ● The Company is limited in the Company’s ability to conduct transactions with affiliates. ● The Advisor’s investment committee is not independent from its management. ● The Company may compete with the Advisor’s current and future investment vehicles for access to capital and assets. ● There may be other conflicts of interest in the Company’s relationship with the Advisor and/or its affiliates that could negatively affect the Company’s earnings. ● The Advisor’s management of the Company’s business is subject to the oversight of the Company’s board of directors, but the Company’s board of directors will not approve each business decision made by the Advisor. ● The Advisor may be incentivized to incur additional leverage, up to the extent permitted by regulations, even if additional leverage is not in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. </div> <div> Risks Related to Offerings ● The price for the Company’s common stock may be volatile. ● The price for the Company’s common stock is subject to market risk. ● Future offerings of debt securities or preferred stock, which would rank senior to the Company’s common stock upon the Company’s liquidation, and future offerings of equity securities, which would dilute the Company’s existing stockholders and may be senior to the Company’s common stock for the purposes of dividend and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the market value of the Company’s common stock. </div> <div> Risks Related to Taxation ● Despite the Company’s election to be treated as a RIC, the Company may not be able to meet the requirements to maintain an election to be treated as a RIC. ● The Company will be subject to corporate-level federal income tax on all of the Company’s income if the Company is unable to maintain RIC status under Subchapter M of the Code. ● Whether an investment in a RIC is appropriate for a Non-U.S. Stockholder will depend upon the Non-U.S. Stockholder’s particular circumstances. </div> On June 9, 2014, the Company entered into the Credit Facility, a revolving credit agreement which had an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $45,000,000 and stated maturity date of June 9, 2019.
