Other than the Company’s investments listed in footnote 7 below (subject to the limitations set forth therein), the Company does not “Control” any of its portfolio companies, for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”). In general, under the Investment Company Act, the Company would “Control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities (i.e., securities with the right to elect directors) and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. All of the Company’s portfolio company investments, which as of June 30, 2018 represented 159% of the Company’s net assets or 94% of the Company’s total assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales.


(2)	These assets are pledged as collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and, as a result, are not directly available to the creditors of the Company to satisfy any obligations of the Company other than the Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).

(3)

These assets are owned by the Company’s consolidated subsidiary Ares Capital CP Funding LLC (“Ares Capital CP”), are pledged as collateral for the Revolving Funding Facility (as defined below) and, as a result, are not directly available to the creditors of the Company to satisfy any obligations of the Company other than Ares Capital CP’s obligations under the Revolving Funding Facility (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).

(4)

These assets are owned by the Company’s consolidated subsidiary Ares Capital JB Funding LLC (“ACJB”), are pledged as collateral for the SMBC Funding Facility (as defined below) and, as a result, are not directly available to the creditors of the Company to satisfy any obligations of the Company other than ACJB’s obligations under the SMBC Funding Facility (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).


(5)	Investments without an interest rate are non-income producing.

(6)

As defined in the Investment Company Act, the Company is deemed to be an “Affiliated Person” because it owns 5% or more of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities or it has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company (including through a management agreement). Transactions as of and during the six months ended June 30, 2018 in which the issuer was an Affiliated Person (but not a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to Control) are as follows:

______________________________________________________________________

Together with Varagon Capital Partners (“Varagon”) and its clients, the Company has co-invested through the Senior Direct Lending Program LLC (d/b/a the “Senior Direct Lending Program” or the “SDLP”). The SDLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SDLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SDLP consisting of representatives of the Company and Varagon (with approval from a representative of each required); therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of the SDLP, the Company does not believe that it has control over the SDLP (for purposes of the Investment Company Act or otherwise) because, among other things, these "voting securities" do not afford the Company the right to elect directors of the SDLP or any other special rights (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

(8)

Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. Pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act, 14% of the Company’s total assets are represented by investments at fair value and other assets that are considered “non-qualifying assets” as of June 30, 2018.


(9)	Exception from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company

Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets.

(10)

Variable rate loans to the Company’s portfolio companies bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to either the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or an alternate base rate (commonly based on the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate), at the borrower’s option, which reset annually (A), semi-annually (S), quarterly (Q), bi-monthly (B), monthly (M) or daily (D). For each such loan, the Company has provided the interest rate in effect on the date presented.

(11)

In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest amount of 2.00% on $69.5 aggregate principal amount of a “first out” tranche of the portfolio company’s senior term debt previously syndicated by the Company into “first out” and “last out” tranches, whereby the “first out” tranche will have priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder.

(12)

In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest amount of 2.00% on $38.9 aggregate principal amount of a “first out” tranche of the portfolio company’s first lien senior secured loans, whereby the “first out” tranche will have priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder.

(13)

The Company sold a participating interest of approximately $9.1 aggregate principal amount of the portfolio company’s second lien senior secured term loan as a “first out” tranche. As the transaction did not qualify as a “true sale” in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company recorded a corresponding $8.8 secured borrowing included in “accounts payable and other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

(14)

The Company sold a participating interest of approximately $2.5 aggregate principal amount of the portfolio company’s first lien senior secured term loan. As the transaction did not qualify as a “true sale” in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company recorded a corresponding $2.5 secured borrowing included in “accounts payable and other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.


(15)	The Company is entitled to receive a fixed fee upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the credit agreement governing the Company’s debt investment in the portfolio company. The fair value of such fee is included in the fair value of the debt investment.


(16)	Loan was on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2018.


(17)	Loan includes interest rate floor feature.


(18)	In addition to the interest earned based on the stated contractual interest rate of this security, the certificates entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the SDLP’s loan portfolio, after expenses, which may result in a return to the Company greater than the contractual stated interest rate.


(19)	As of June 30, 2018, no amounts were funded by the Company under this first lien senior secured revolving loan; however, there were letters of credit issued and outstanding through a financial intermediary under the loan. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on letters of credit commitments related to certain portfolio companies.


(20)	As of June 30, 2018, in addition to the amounts funded by the Company under this first lien senior secured revolving loan, there were also letters of credit issued and outstanding through a financial intermediary under the loan. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on letters of credit commitments related to certain portfolio companies.

(21)

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had the following commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, including commitments to issue letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. Such commitments are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the documents governing these loans and letters of credit and there can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on revolving and delayed draw loan commitments, including commitments to issue letters of credit, related to certain portfolio companies.

Other than the Company’s investments listed in footnote 8 below (subject to the limitations set forth therein), the Company does not “Control” any of its portfolio companies, for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”). In general, under the Investment Company Act, the Company would “Control” a portfolio company if the Company owned more than 25% of its outstanding voting securities (i.e., securities with the right to elect directors) and/or had the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company. All of the Company’s portfolio company investments, which as of December 31, 2017 represented 167% of the Company’s net assets or 96% of the Company’s total assets, are subject to legal restrictions on sales.


(2)	These assets are pledged as collateral for the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) and, as a result, are not directly available to the creditors of the Company to satisfy any obligations of the Company other than the Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).


(3)	These assets are owned by the Company’s consolidated subsidiary Ares Capital CP Funding LLC (“Ares Capital CP”), are pledged as collateral for the Revolving Funding Facility (as defined below) and, as a result, are not directly

available to the creditors of the Company to satisfy any obligations of the Company other than Ares Capital CP’s obligations under the Revolving Funding Facility (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements).

(5)

These assets are owned by the Company’s consolidated subsidiary Ares Venture Finance, L.P. (“AVF LP”), are pledged as collateral for the SBA-guaranteed debentures (the “SBA Debentures”) and, as a result, are not directly available to the creditors of the Company to satisfy any obligations of the Company other than AVF LP’s obligations (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements). AVF LP operates as a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) under the provisions of Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended.


(6)	Investments without an interest rate are non-income producing.

(7)

As defined in the Investment Company Act, the Company is deemed to be an “Affiliated Person” because it owns 5% or more of the portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities or it has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company (including through a management agreement). Transactions as of and during the year ended December 31, 2017 in which the issuer was an Affiliated Person (but not a portfolio company that the Company is deemed to Control) are as follows:

______________________________________________________________________

Together with Varagon Capital Partners (“Varagon and its clients”), the Company has co-invested through the Senior Direct Lending Program LLC (d/b/a the "Senior Direct Lending Program” or the "SDLP"). The SDLP has been capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SDLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SDLP consisting of representatives of the Company and Varagon (with approval from a representative of each required); therefore, although the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities of the SDLP, the Company does not believe that it has control over the SDLP (for purposes of the Investment Company Act or otherwise) because, among other things, these "voting securities" do not afford the Company the right to elect directors of the SDLP or any other special rights (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements).

(9)

Non-U.S. company or principal place of business outside the U.S. and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. Pursuant to Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act, 12% of the Company’s total assets are represented by investments at fair value and other assets that are considered “non-qualifying assets” as of December 31, 2017.

(10)

Exception from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act and as a result is not a qualifying asset under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time such acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets.

(11)

(12)

In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest amount of 1.75% on $63 aggregate principal amount of a “first out” tranche of the portfolio company’s senior term debt previously syndicated by the Company into “first out” and “last out” tranches, whereby the “first out” tranche will have priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder.

(13)

In addition to the interest earned based on the stated interest rate of this security, the Company is entitled to receive an additional interest amount of 2.00% on $73 aggregate principal amount of a “first out” tranche of the portfolio company’s first lien senior secured loans, whereby the “first out” tranche will have priority as to the “last out” tranche with respect to payments of principal, interest and any other amounts due thereunder.

(14)

The Company sold a participating interest of approximately $9 of aggregate principal amount of the portfolio company’s second lien senior secured term loan as a “first out” tranche. As the transaction did not qualify as a “true sale” in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company recorded a corresponding $9 secured borrowing included in “accounts payable and other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.”


(15)	The Company is entitled to receive a fixed fee upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the credit agreement governing the Company’s debt investment in the portfolio company. The fair value of such fee is included in the fair value of the debt investment.


(16)	Loan was on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2017.


(17)	Loan includes interest rate floor feature.


(18)	In addition to the interest earned based on the stated contractual interest rate of this security, the certificates entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the SDLP’s loan portfolio, after expenses, which may result in a return to the Company greater than the contractual stated interest rate.


(19)	As of December 31, 2017, no amounts were funded by the Company under this first lien senior secured revolving loan; however, there were letters of credit issued and outstanding through a financial intermediary under the loan. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on letters of credit commitments related to certain portfolio companies.


(20)	As of December 31, 2017, in addition to the amounts funded by the Company under this first lien senior secured revolving loan, there were also letters of credit issued and outstanding through a financial intermediary under the loan. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on letters of credit commitments related to certain portfolio companies.

(21)

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had the following commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, including commitments to issue letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. Such commitments are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the documents governing these loans and letters of credit and there can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on revolving and delayed draw loan commitments, including commitments to issue letters of credit, related to certain portfolio companies.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2018

(unaudited)

(in millions, except per share data, percentages and as otherwise indicated; for example, with the word “billion” or otherwise)

1. ORGANIZATION

Ares Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is a specialty finance company that is a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company incorporated in Maryland. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Investment Company Act”). The Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.

The Company’s investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Company invests primarily in first lien senior secured loans (including “unitranche” loans, which are loans that combine both senior and mezzanine debt, generally in a first lien position), second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component. To a lesser extent, the Company also makes equity investments.

The Company is externally managed by Ares Capital Management LLC (“Ares Capital Management” or the Company’s “investment adviser”), a subsidiary of Ares Management, L.P. (“Ares Management”), a publicly traded, leading global alternative asset manager, pursuant to an investment advisory and management agreement. Ares Operations LLC (“Ares Operations” or the Company’s “administrator”), a subsidiary of Ares Management, provides certain administrative and other services necessary for the Company to operate.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company is an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period presented, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include funds from time to time deposited with financial institutions and short-term, liquid investments in a money market account. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in money market accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific

identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized.

Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically valued at such market quotations. In order to validate market quotations, the Company looks at a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and nature of the quotations. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available (i.e., substantially all of the Company’s investments) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, based on, among other things, the input of the Company’s investment adviser, audit committee and independent third-party valuation firms that have been engaged at the direction of the Company’s board of directors to assist in the valuation of each portfolio investment without a readily available market quotation at least once during a trailing 12-month period (with certain de minimis exceptions) and under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process. The valuation process is conducted at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a portion of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value is subject to review by an independent valuation firm each quarter. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm obtains an understanding of, and performs select procedures relating to, the Company’s investment valuation process within the context of performing the integrated audit.

As part of the valuation process, the Company may take into account the following types of factors, if relevant, in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments: the enterprise value of a portfolio company (the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments and its earnings and discounted cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets, which may affect the price at which similar investments would trade in their principal markets and other relevant factors. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Company considers the pricing indicated by the external event to corroborate its valuation.

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

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

The Company’s board of directors undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:


•	The Company’s quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment in conjunction with the Company’s portfolio management team.


•	Preliminary valuations are reviewed and discussed with the Company’s investment adviser’s management and investment professionals, and then valuation recommendations are presented to the Company’s board of directors.


•	The audit committee of the Company’s board of directors reviews these valuations, as well as the input of third parties, including independent third-party valuation firms who have reviewed a portion of the investments in the Company’s portfolio at fair value.


•	The Company’s board of directors discusses valuations and ultimately determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio without a readily available market quotation in good faith based on, among other things, the input of the Company’s investment adviser, audit committee and, where applicable, independent third-party valuation firms.

See Note 8 for more information on the Company’s valuation process.

Interest and Dividend Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis 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 yield method. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more or when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded as dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies.

Payment-in-Kind Interest

The Company has loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provisions. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement, is added to the principal balance of the loan and recorded as interest income. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to stockholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash.

Capital Structuring Service Fees and Other Income

The Company’s investment adviser seeks to provide assistance to its portfolio companies and in return the Company may receive fees for capital structuring services. These fees are fixed based on contractual terms, are generally only available to the Company as a result of the Company’s underlying investments, are normally paid at the closing of the investments, are generally non-recurring and non-refundable and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the investment. The services that the Company’s investment adviser provides vary by investment, but generally include reviewing existing credit facilities, arranging bank financing, arranging equity financing, structuring financing from multiple lenders, structuring financing from multiple equity investors, restructuring existing loans, raising equity and debt capital, and providing general financial advice, which concludes upon closing of the investment. Any services of the above nature subsequent to the closing would generally generate a separate fee payable to the Company. In certain instances where the Company is invited to participate as a co-lender in a transaction and does not provide significant services in connection with the investment, a portion of loan fees paid to the Company in such situations will be deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan.

Other income includes amendment fees that are fixed based on contractual terms and are generally non-recurring and non-refundable and are recognized as revenue when earned upon closing of the transaction. Other income also includes fees for management and consulting services, loan guarantees, commitments, and other services rendered by the Company to portfolio companies. Such fees are fixed based on contractual terms and are recognized as income as services are rendered.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:


(1)	Fair value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.


(2)	Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions, income or expenses.

Results of operations based on changes in foreign exchange rates are separately disclosed in the statement of operations, if any. Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

Derivative Instruments

The Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such values its derivatives at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses recorded in “net unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency and other transactions” in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Equity Offering Expenses

The Company’s offering costs are charged against the proceeds from equity offerings when proceeds are received.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight line method or the effective yield method, depending on the type of debt instrument.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operates in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, the Company must (among other requirements) meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. The Company (among other requirements) has made and intends to continue to make the requisite distributions to its stockholders, which will generally relieve the Company from U.S. federal corporate-level income taxes.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company may choose to carry forward taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year taxable income will be in excess of estimated dividend distributions for the current year, the Company accrues excise tax, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned.

Certain of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state corporate-level income taxes.

Dividends to Common Stockholders

Dividends and distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend is determined by the Company’s board of directors each quarter and is generally based upon the earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed, although the Company may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of any distributions the Company declares in cash on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, if the Company’s board of directors authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend, then the Company’s stockholders who have not “opted out” of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividend. The Company intends to use primarily newly issued shares to implement the dividend reinvestment plan (so long as the Company is trading at a premium to net asset value). If the Company’s shares are trading at a discount to net asset value and the Company is otherwise permitted under applicable law to purchase such shares, the Company may purchase shares in the open market in connection with the Company’s obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan. However, the Company reserves the right to issue new shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Company’s obligations under the dividend reinvestment plan even if the Company’s shares are trading below net asset value.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of actual and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income or loss and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments.

3. AGREEMENTS

Investment Advisory and Management Agreement

The Company is party to an investment advisory and management agreement (the “investment advisory and management agreement”) with Ares Capital Management. Subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s board of directors, Ares Capital Management provides investment advisory and management services to the Company. For providing these services, Ares Capital Management receives fees from the Company consisting of a base management fee, a fee based on the Company’s net investment income (“income based fee”) and a fee based on the Company’s net capital gains (“capital gains incentive fee”). The investment advisory and management agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.5% based on the average value of the Company’s total assets (other than cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears. In connection with the Company’s board of directors approving the modification of the asset coverage requirement applicable to senior securities from 200% to 150% effective on June 21, 2019 (unless the Company receives earlier stockholder approval), the investment advisory and management agreement will be amended prior to June 21, 2019 (or such earlier date) to reduce the Company’s annual base management fee from 1.5% to 1.0% on all assets financed using leverage over 1.0x debt to equity. See Note 5 for additional information.

The income based fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, as defined in the investment advisory and management agreement, for the quarter. Pre-incentive fee net investment income means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, any expenses payable under the administration agreement, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the income based fee and capital gains incentive fee accrued under GAAP). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature such as market discount, debt instruments with PIK interest, preferred stock with PIK dividends and zero coupon securities, accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. The Company’s investment adviser is not under any obligation to reimburse the Company for any part of the income based fees it received that was based on accrued interest that the Company never actually received.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses, unrealized capital appreciation, unrealized capital depreciation or income tax expense related to realized gains and losses. Because of the structure of the income based fee, it is possible that the Company may pay such fees in a quarter where the Company incurs a loss. For example, if the Company receives pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of the hurdle rate (as defined below) for a quarter, the Company will pay the applicable income based fee even if the Company has incurred a loss in that quarter due to realized and/or unrealized capital losses.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any income based fees and capital gains incentive fees payable during the period) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, is compared to a fixed “hurdle rate” of 1.75% per quarter. If market credit spreads rise, the Company may be able to invest its funds in debt instruments that provide for a higher return, which may increase the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income and make it easier for the Company’s investment adviser to surpass the fixed hurdle rate and receive an income based fee based on such net investment income. To the extent the Company has retained pre-incentive fee net investment income that has been used to calculate the income based fee, it is also included in the amount of the Company’s total assets (other than cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds) used to calculate the 1.5% base management fee.

The Company pays its investment adviser an income based fee with respect to the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:


•	No income based fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate;

•

100% of the Company’s 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 rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter. The Company refers to this portion of its pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875%) as the “catch-up” provision. The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Company’s investment adviser with 20% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeded 2.1875% in any calendar quarter; and


•	20% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter.

These calculations are adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter.

In connection with the Company's acquisition of American Capital, Ltd., a Delaware corporation ("American Capital") (the "American Capital Acquisition"), Ares Capital Management agreed to waive, for each of the first ten calendar quarters beginning with the second quarter of 2017 and ending with the third quarter of 2019, the lesser of (x) $10 of income based fees and (y) the amount of income based fees for such quarter, in each case, to the extent earned and payable by the Company in such quarter pursuant to and as calculated under the Company's investment advisory and management agreement (the "Fee Waiver"). See Note 14 for additional information regarding the American Capital Acquisition.

The capital gains incentive fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or, upon termination of the investment advisory and management agreement, as of the termination date) and is calculated at the end of each applicable year by subtracting (a) the sum of the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital losses and aggregate unrealized capital depreciation from (b) the Company’s cumulative aggregate realized capital gains, in each case calculated from October 8, 2004 (the date the Company completed its initial public offering). Realized capital gains and losses include gains and losses on investments and foreign currencies, gains and losses on extinguishment of debt and from other assets, as well as any income tax and other expenses related to cumulative aggregate realized gains and losses. If such amount is positive at the end of such year, then the capital gains incentive fee for such year is equal to 20% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of capital gains incentive fees paid in all prior years. If such amount is negative, then there is no capital gains incentive fee for such year.

The cumulative aggregate realized capital gains are calculated as the sum of the differences, if positive, between (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company’s portfolio when sold and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

The cumulative aggregate realized capital losses are calculated as the sum of the amounts by which (a) the net sales price of each investment in the Company’s portfolio when sold is less than (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

The aggregate unrealized capital depreciation is calculated as the sum of the differences, if negative, between (a) the valuation of each investment in the Company’s portfolio as of the applicable capital gains incentive fee calculation date and (b) the accreted or amortized cost basis of such investment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a result of an amendment to the capital gains incentive fee under the investment advisory and management agreement that was adopted on June 6, 2011, if the Company is required by GAAP to record an investment at its fair value as of the time of acquisition instead of at the actual amount paid for such investment by the Company (including, for example, as a result of the application of the asset acquisition method of accounting), then solely for the purposes of calculating the capital gains incentive fee, the “accreted or amortized cost basis” of an investment shall be an amount (the “Contractual Cost Basis”) equal to (1) (x) the actual amount paid by the Company for such investment plus (y) any amounts recorded in the Company’s financial statements as required by GAAP that are attributable to the accretion of such investment plus (z) any other adjustments made to the cost basis included in the Company’s financial statements, including PIK interest or additional amounts funded (net of repayments) minus (2) any amounts recorded in the Company’s financial statements as required by GAAP that are attributable to the amortization of such investment, whether such calculated

Contractual Cost Basis is higher or lower than the fair value of such investment (as determined in accordance with GAAP) at the time of acquisition.

There was no capital gains incentive fee earned by the Company’s investment adviser as calculated under the investment advisory and management agreement (as described above) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. However, in accordance with GAAP, the Company had cumulatively accrued a capital gains incentive fee of $117 as of June 30, 2018, of which $117 is not currently due under the investment advisory and management agreement. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the investment advisory and management agreement. This GAAP accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation, net of any expense associated with cumulative unrealized capital depreciation or appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires the Company to record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 20% of such cumulative amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains incentive fees paid or capital gains incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has paid capital gains incentive fees since inception totaling $57. The resulting accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reversal of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future.

The Company defers cash payment of any income based fees and capital gains incentive fees otherwise earned by the Company’s investment adviser if during the most recent four full calendar quarter period ending on or prior to the date such payment is to be made the sum of (a) the aggregate distributions to the Company’s stockholders and (b) the change in net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any income based fees and capital gains incentive fees payable during the period) is less than 7.0% of the Company’s net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness) at the beginning of such period. Any deferred income based fees and capital gains incentive fees are carried over for payment in subsequent calculation periods to the extent such payment is payable under the investment advisory and management agreement.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, base management fees were $45 and $91, respectively, and income based fees were $30 and $58, respectively. The income based fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were net of the Fee Waiver of $10 and $20, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP were $18 and $38, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, base management fees were $44 and $83, respectively, and income based fees were $20 and $52, respectively. The income based fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were net of the Fee Waiver of $10. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP were $10 and $26, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, $11 of capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP were recorded in connection with the American Capital Acquisition as a result of the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeding the fair value of the merger consideration paid by the Company.

The services of all investment professionals and staff of the Company’s investment adviser, when and to the extent

Co-Investment Programs

Senior Direct Lending Program

The Company has established a joint venture with Varagon to make certain first lien senior secured loans, including certain stretch senior and unitranche loans, primarily to U.S. middle market companies. Varagon was formed in 2013 as a lending platform by American International Group, Inc. and other partners. The joint venture is called the SDLP. In July 2016, the Company and Varagon and its clients completed the initial funding of the SDLP. The SDLP may generally commit and hold individual loans of up to $300. The Company and other accounts managed by the Company’s investment adviser and its affiliates may directly co-invest with the SDLP to accommodate larger transactions. The SDLP is capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SDLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SDLP consisting of representatives of the Company and Varagon (with approval from a representative of each required).

The Company provides capital to the SDLP in the form of subordinated certificates (the “SDLP Certificates”), and Varagon and its clients provide capital to the SDLP in the form of senior notes, intermediate funding notes and SDLP Certificates. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company and a client of Varagon owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the outstanding SDLP Certificates.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company and Varagon and its clients had agreed to make capital available to the SDLP of $6,400 and $2,925, respectively, in the aggregate, of which $1,444 and $591, respectively, is to be made available from the Company.

(1)	At principal amount.


(2)	These commitments have been approved by the investment committee of the SDLP and will be funded as the transactions are completed.

The SDLP Certificates pay a coupon of LIBOR plus 8.0% and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, after expenses, which may result in a return to the holders of the SDLP Certificates that is greater than the stated coupon. The SDLP Certificates are junior in right of payment to the senior notes and intermediate funding notes.

The amortized cost and fair value of the SDLP Certificates held by the Company were $589 and $589, respectively, as of June 30, 2018. The Company’s yield on its investment in the SDLP at amortized cost and fair value was 15.0% and 15.0%, respectively, as of June 30, 2018. The amortized cost and fair value of the SDLP Certificates held by the Company were $487 and $487, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. The Company’s yield on its investment in the SDLP at amortized cost and fair value was 14.5% and 14.5%, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company earned interest income of $20 and $39, respectively, from its investment in the SDLP Certificates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company earned interest income of $11 and $21, respectively, from its investment in the SDLP Certificates. The Company is also entitled to certain fees in connection with the SDLP. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, in connection with the SDLP, the Company earned capital structuring service and other fees totaling $5 and $8, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, in connection with the SDLP, the Company earned capital structuring service and other fees totaling $5 and $6, respectively.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the SDLP’s portfolio was comprised entirely of first lien senior secured loans to U.S. middle-market companies and were in industries similar to the companies in the Company’s portfolio. As of

June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, none of the loans were on non-accrual status. Below is a summary of the SDLP’s portfolio.

Senior Secured Loan Program

The Company and General Electric Capital Corporation and GE Global Sponsor Finance LLC (collectively, “GE”) had previously co-invested in first lien senior secured loans of middle market companies through the SSLP. The SSLP was capitalized as transactions were completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP were approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of the Company and GE (with approval from a representative of each required). The Company provided capital to the SSLP in the form of subordinated certificates (the “SSLP Certificates”). GE provided capital to the SSLP in the form of senior notes and the SSLP Certificates.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s investment in the SSLP Certificates at amortized cost and fair value was $1.9 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, the SSLP had $1.2 billion in cash and GE’s senior notes outstanding totaled $601. In July 2017, the SSLP made its monthly waterfall distribution from this cash, which fully repaid the senior notes of the SSLP with the remaining amounts distributed to the holders of the SSLP Certificates. From this distribution, the Company received $474 in respect of the Company’s SSLP Certificates. After this distribution, the Company’s amortized cost in its SSLP Certificates was $1.5 billion.

In addition, in July 2017, the Company and GE agreed to an effective termination of the SSLP whereby on July 26, 2017, the Company purchased the remaining $1.6 billion in aggregate principal amount of first lien senior secured loans outstanding at par plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees from the SSLP (the “SSLP Loan Sale”) and assumed the SSLP’s remaining unfunded loan commitments totaling $50. Upon completion of the SSLP Loan Sale, the SSLP made a liquidation distribution to the holders of the SSLP Certificates (the “SSLP Liquidation Distribution”), of which the Company received $1.5 billion. In connection with the SSLP Liquidation Distribution, the Company recognized an $18 realized loss. After completion of the transactions above, the operations of the SSLP were effectively terminated pursuant to the terms of the documents governing the SSLP and the SSLP no longer has an obligation to fund existing commitments and other amounts in respect of its former portfolio companies.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company earned interest income of $29 and $63, respectively, from its investment in the SSLP Certificates. The Company was also entitled to certain fees in connection with the SSLP. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, in connection with the SSLP, the Company earned capital structuring service, sourcing and other fees totaling $3 and $5, respectively.

Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P.

Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P. (“IHAM”) is an asset management services company and an SEC-registered investment adviser. The Company has made investments in IHAM, its wholly owned portfolio company, and previously made investments in certain vehicles managed by IHAM. As of June 30, 2018, IHAM had assets under management of approximately $5.0 billion. As of June 30, 2018, IHAM managed 23 vehicles and served as the sub-manager/sub-servicer for two other vehicles (these vehicles managed or sub-managed/sub-serviced by IHAM are collectively referred to as the “IHAM Vehicles”). IHAM earns fee income from managing the IHAM Vehicles and has also invested in certain of these vehicles as part of its business strategy. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, IHAM had total investments of $451 and $229, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, IHAM had management and incentive fee income of $6 and

$12, respectively, and other investment-related income of $12 and $27, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, IHAM had management and incentive fee income of $8 and $16, respectively, and other investment-related income of $6 and $13, respectively.

In connection with the American Capital Acquisition, which was completed on January 3, 2017 (the “Acquisition Date”), American Capital Asset Management, LLC (“ACAM”), a wholly owned portfolio company of American Capital, merged with and into IHAM, with IHAM remaining as the surviving entity as a wholly owned portfolio company of the Company. As a result of the merger of IHAM and ACAM, the Company’s investment in IHAM increased by $179, which was recorded as an equity capital contribution in the amount of the fair value of the net assets of ACAM as of the Acquisition Date.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company is party to a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which allows the Company to borrow up to $2,133 at any one time outstanding. The Revolving Credit Facility consists of a $414 term loan tranche with a stated maturity date of March 30, 2023 and a $1,719 revolving tranche. For $1,624 of the revolving tranche, the end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date are March 30, 2022 and March 30, 2023, respectively. For $50 of the revolving tranche, the end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date are January 4, 2021 and January 4, 2022, respectively. For the remaining $45 of the revolving tranche, the end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date are May 4, 2019 and May 4, 2020, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the overall size of the Revolving Credit Facility to a maximum of $3,133. The Revolving Credit Facility generally requires payments of interest at the end of each LIBOR interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly, on LIBOR based loans, and monthly payments of interest on other loans. From the end of the revolving period to the stated maturity date as applicable for each revolving tranche, the Company is required to repay outstanding principal amounts under such revolving tranche on a monthly basis in an amount equal to 1/12th of the outstanding principal amount at the end of the revolving period.

Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities, including, without limitation, covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) maintaining a certain minimum stockholders’ equity, (e) maintaining a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) of not less than 2.0:1.0, (f) limitations on pledging certain unencumbered assets, and (g) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that prohibit liens on certain properties of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the documents governing the Revolving Credit Facility. Amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) are also subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in the Company’s portfolio that are pledged as collateral. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there was $414 and $395 outstanding, respectively, under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2018, the Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit for up to an aggregate amount of $150. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $45 and $44, respectively, in letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility. The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by any letters of credit issued. As of June 30, 2018, there was $1,674 available for borrowing (net of letters of credit issued) under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Since March 30, 2018, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Credit Facility is based on an applicable spread of either 1.75% or 1.875% over LIBOR or 0.75% or 0.875% over an “alternate base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility), in each case, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. Prior to March 30, 2018, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Credit Facility was based on an applicable spread of

100

either 1.75% or 2.00% over LIBOR or 0.75% or 1.00% over an “alternate base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility), in each case, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2018, the interest rate in effect was LIBOR plus 1.75%. As of June 30, 2018, the one, two, three and six month LIBOR was 2.09%, 2.17%, 2.34% and 2.50%, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, the one, two, three and six month LIBOR was 1.56%, 1.62%, 1.69% and 1.84%, respectively. In addition to the stated interest expense on the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on any unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company is also required to pay a letter of credit fee of either 2.00% or 2.125% per annum on letters of credit issued, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility.

In December 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively fix the interest rate in connection with $395 of the term loan tranche of the Revolving Credit Facility. See Note 6 for more information on the interest rate swap.

The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by certain assets in the Company’s portfolio and excludes investments held by Ares Capital CP under the Revolving Funding Facility, those held by ACJB under the SMBC Funding Facility (as defined below) and those held by AVF LP (as defined below) under the SBA Debentures (as defined below), each as described below, and certain other investments.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the components of interest and credit facility fees expense, cash paid for interest expense, average stated interest rates (i.e., rate in effect plus the spread) and average outstanding balances for the Revolving Credit Facility were as follows:

The 2019 Convertible Notes and the 2022 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.375% and 3.75%, respectively, per year, payable semi-annually.

In certain circumstances, the Convertible Unsecured Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election, at their respective conversion rates (listed below as of June 30, 2018) subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and the requirements of their respective indenture (the “Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures”).

________________________________________


(1)	Represents conversion price and conversion rate, as applicable, as of June 30, 2018, taking into account certain de minimis adjustments that will be made on the conversion date.

As of June 30, 2018, the principal amounts of each series of the Convertible Unsecured Notes exceeded the value of the underlying shares multiplied by the per share closing price of the Company’s common stock.

The Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures contain certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act and to provide financial information to the holders of the Convertible Unsecured Notes under certain circumstances. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures.

The Convertible Unsecured Notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20. Upon conversion of any of the other Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Company intends to pay the outstanding principal amount in cash and to the extent that the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, the Company has the option to pay in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock (or a combination of cash and shares) in respect of the excess amount, subject to the requirements of the Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures. The Company has determined that the embedded conversion options in the Convertible Unsecured Notes are not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under GAAP. In accounting for the Convertible Unsecured Notes, the Company estimated at the time of issuance separate debt and equity components for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes. An original issue discount equal to the equity components of the Convertible Unsecured Notes was recorded in “capital in excess of par value” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the issuance costs associated with the Convertible Unsecured Notes were allocated to the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the proceeds and accounted for as debt issuance costs and equity issuance costs, respectively.

The debt and equity component percentages, the issuance costs and the equity component amounts for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes are listed below.



	2019 Convertible Notes		2022 Convertible Notes
Debt and equity component percentages, respectively(1)	99.8% and 0.2%		96.0% and 4.0%

These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions set forth in the indentures governing such notes. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the respective indentures governing each of the Unsecured Notes.

The Convertible Unsecured Notes and the Unsecured Notes are the Company’s unsecured senior obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible

106

Unsecured Notes and the Unsecured Notes; equal in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not expressly subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of its secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into forward currency contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the counterparty to these forward currency contracts was Bank of Montreal. Net unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency contracts are included in “net unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency and other transactions” and net realized gains or losses on forward currency contracts are included in “net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps are considered undesignated derivative instruments.

In December 2017, in connection with $395 of the term loan tranche of the Revolving Credit Facility the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement to mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates for a total notional amount of $395 and a maturity date of January 4, 2021. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 2.06% and receives a floating rate based on the prevailing one-month LIBOR. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the one-month LIBOR rate in effect was 2.06% and 1.50%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $0 and $1, respectively, in realized losses and $2 and $6, respectively, in unrealized gains related to this swap agreement. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, this swap agreement had a fair value of $6 and $(1), respectively, which is included in the “other assets” and "accounts payable and other liabilities", respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Net realized gains or losses on the interest rate swap are included in “net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency and other transactions.” Net unrealized gains or losses on the interest rate swap are included in “net unrealized gains (losses) from foreign currency and other transactions.”

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has various commitments to fund investments in its portfolio as described below. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had the following commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, including commitments to fund which are at (or substantially at) the Company’s discretion:



	As of
	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments	$	1,422		$	881
Less: drawn commitments	(384		)	(201		)
Total undrawn commitments	1,038			680
Less: commitments substantially at discretion of the Company	(14		)	(11		)
Less: unavailable commitments due to borrowing base or other covenant restrictions	—			—
Total net adjusted undrawn revolving and delayed draw loan commitments	$	1,024		$	669

Included within the total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were delayed draw loan commitments totaling $348 and $251, respectively. The Company’s commitment to fund delayed draw loans is triggered upon the satisfaction of certain pre-negotiated terms and conditions. Generally, the most significant and uncertain term requires the borrower to satisfy a specific use of proceeds covenant. The use of proceeds covenant typically requires the borrower to use the additional loans for the specific purpose of a permitted acquisition or permitted investment, for example. In addition to the use of proceeds covenant, the borrower is generally required to satisfy additional negotiated covenants (including specified leverage levels).

Also included within the total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments as of June 30, 2018 were commitments to issue up to $190 in letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $26 in letters of credit issued and outstanding under these commitments on behalf of portfolio companies. For all these letters of credit issued and outstanding, the Company would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. Of these letters of credit, $13 expire in 2018 and $13 expire in 2019. As of June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a liability of $5 for certain letters of credit issued and outstanding and none of the other letters of credit issued and outstanding were recorded as a liability on the Company’s balance sheet as such other letters of credit are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company.

The Company also has commitments to co-invest in the SDLP for the Company’s portion of the SDLP’s commitments to fund delayed draw loans to certain portfolio companies of the SDLP. See Note 4 for more information.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company was party to subscription agreements to fund equity investments in private equity investment partnerships as follows:



	As of
	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Total private equity commitments	$	116		$	111
Less: funded private equity commitments	(70		)	(62		)
Total unfunded private equity commitments	46			49
Less: private equity commitments substantially at discretion of the Company	(46		)	(48		)
Total net adjusted unfunded private equity commitments	$	—		$	1

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may sell certain of its investments to third party purchasers. In particular, in connection with the sale of certain controlled portfolio company equity investments (as well as certain other sales) the Company has, and may continue to do so in the future, agreed to indemnify such purchasers for future liabilities arising from the investments and the related sale transaction. Such indemnification provisions have given rise to liabilities in the past and may do so in the future.

In addition, in the ordinary course of business, the Company may guarantee certain obligations in connection with its portfolio companies (in particular, certain controlled portfolio companies). Under these guarantee arrangements, payments may

109

be required to be made to third parties if such guarantees are called upon or if the portfolio companies were to default on their related obligations, as applicable.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company follows ASC 825-10, which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. The Company has not elected the ASC 825-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. With the exception of the line items entitled “other assets” and “debt,” which are reported at amortized cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the balance sheet. The carrying value of the lines titled “interest receivable,” “receivable for open trades,” “payable for open trades,” “accounts payable and other liabilities,” “base management fees payable,” “income based fees payable,” “capital gains incentive fees payable” and “interest and facility fees payable” approximate fair value due to their short maturity.

The Company also follows ASC 820-10, which expands the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Company to assume that the portfolio investment is sold in its principal market to market participants or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, which may be a hypothetical market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company has considered its principal market as the market in which the Company exits its portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820-10 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. In accordance with ASC 820-10, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:


•	Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.


•	Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.


•	Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company continues to employ the net asset valuation policy approved by the Company’s board of directors that is consistent with ASC 820-10 (see Note 2). Consistent with the Company’s valuation policy, it evaluates the source of inputs, including any markets in which the Company’s investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. The Company’s valuation policy considers the fact that because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in the Company’s portfolio, the fair value of the investments must typically be determined using unobservable inputs.

The Company’s portfolio investments (other than as described below in the following paragraph) are typically valued using two different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value (“EV”) of the portfolio company. Enterprise value means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The primary method for determining EV uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s EBITDA (generally defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization). EBITDA multiples are typically determined based upon review of market comparable transactions and publicly traded comparable companies, if any. The Company may also employ other valuation multiples to determine EV, such as revenues or, in the case of certain portfolio companies in the power generation industry, kilowatt capacity. The second method for determining EV uses a discounted cash flow analysis whereby future expected cash flows of the portfolio company are discounted to determine a present value using estimated discount rates (typically a weighted average cost of capital based on costs of debt and equity consistent with current market conditions). The EV analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments, the value of debt investments in portfolio companies where the Company has control or could gain control through an option or warrant security, and to determine if there is credit impairment for debt investments. If debt investments are credit impaired, an EV analysis may be used to value such debt investments; however, in addition to the methods outlined above, other methods

110

such as a liquidation or wind-down analysis may be utilized to estimate enterprise value. The second valuation technique is a yield analysis, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments in portfolio companies where the Company does not own a controlling equity position. To determine fair value using a yield analysis, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk. In the yield analysis, the Company considers the current contractual interest rate, the maturity and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the enterprise value of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by the Company are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Company depends on primary market data, including newly funded transactions, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.

For other portfolio investments such as investments in the SDLP Certificates, discounted cash flow analysis is the primary technique utilized to determine fair value. Expected future cash flows associated with the investment are discounted to determine a present value using a discount rate that reflects estimated market return requirements.

The following tables summarize the significant unobservable inputs the Company used to value the majority of its investments categorized within Level 3 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The tables are not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead capture the significant unobservable inputs relevant to the Company’s determination of fair values.

Changes in market yields, discount rates or EBITDA multiples, each in isolation, may change the fair value of certain of the Company’s investments. Generally, an increase in market yields or discount rates or decrease in EBITDA multiples may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain of the Company’s investments.

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

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

There were no sales of the Company’s equity securities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. See Note 11 for information regarding shares of common stock issued or purchased in accordance with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan.

In connection with the American Capital Acquisition, the Company issued 112 shares valued at approximately $1,839.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company is authorized under its stock repurchase program to purchase up to $300 in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at certain thresholds below its net asset value per share, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company, in its discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Company cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the program. The expiration date of the stock repurchase program is February 28, 2019. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had repurchased a total of 0.5 shares of its common stock in the open market under the stock repurchase program since the program’s inception in September 2015, at an average price of $13.92 per share, including commissions paid, leaving approximately $293 available for additional repurchases under the program. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not repurchase any shares of the Company’s common stock under the stock repurchase program.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following information sets forth the computations of basic and diluted net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations available to common stockholders	$	254	$	178	$	496	$	296
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding—basic and diluted	426		426		426		424
Basic and diluted net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations per share	$	0.60	$	0.42	$	1.16	$	0.70

For the purpose of calculating diluted net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations per share, the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was less than the conversion price for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes outstanding as of June 30, 2018, as well as any other convertible unsecured notes outstanding during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the average closing price of the Company’s common stock was less than the conversion price for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes outstanding as of June 30, 2017, as well as any other convertible unsecured notes outstanding during the period. Therefore, for all periods presented in the financial statements, the underlying shares for the intrinsic value of the embedded options in the Convertible Unsecured Notes and any other convertible unsecured notes outstanding during the periods presented had no impact on the computation of diluted net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations per share.

The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan, whereby the Company may buy shares of its common stock in the open market or issue new shares in order to satisfy dividend reinvestment requests. When the Company issues new shares in connection with the dividend reinvestment plan, the issue price is equal to the closing price of its common stock on the dividend payment date. Dividend reinvestment plan activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, was as follows:



	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018				2017

14. AMERICAN CAPITAL ACQUISITION

On May 23, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire American Capital. On the Acquisition Date, the Company completed the American Capital Acquisition pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, American Capital shareholders received total consideration of approximately $18.06 per share comprised of: (i) $14.41 per share from the Company consisting of approximately $6.48 per share of cash (including a make-up dividend in the amount of $0.07 per share) and 0.483 shares of the Company’s common stock for each American Capital share at a value of $7.93 per American Capital share (based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the Acquisition Date), (ii) $2.45 per share of cash from American Capital’s sale of American Capital Mortgage Management, LLC, and (iii) approximately $1.20 per share of cash as transaction support provided by Ares Capital Management acting solely on its own behalf. As of the Acquisition Date, the transaction was valued at approximately $4.2 billion. The total cash and stock consideration paid by the Company was $3.3 billion. In connection with the stock consideration, the Company issued approximately 112 shares of its common stock to American Capital’s then-existing stockholders (including holders of outstanding in-the-money American Capital stock options), thereby resulting in the Company’s then-existing stockholders owning approximately 73.7% of the combined company and then-existing American Capital stockholders owning approximately 26.3% of the combined company. In addition, in connection with the American Capital Acquisition, Ares Capital Management agreed to waive certain income based fees as described in Note 3.

The American Capital Acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the asset acquisition method of accounting as detailed in ASC 805-50, Business Combinations-Related Issues. The fair value of the merger consideration paid by the Company was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the date of acquisition and did not give rise to goodwill. Since the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the fair value of the merger consideration paid by the Company, the Company recognized a deemed contribution from Ares Capital Management.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the American Capital Acquisition:

15. LITIGATION

The Company is party to certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. In addition, American Capital and Allied Capital were involved in various legal proceedings that the Company assumed in connection with the American Capital Acquisition and the Allied Acquisition, respectively. Furthermore, third parties may try to seek to impose liability on the Company in connection with the Company’s activities or the activities of its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any such legal proceedings cannot at this time be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these legal proceedings will materially affect its business, financial condition or results of operations.

On May 20, 2013, the Company was named as one of several defendants in an action filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by the bankruptcy trustee of DSI Renal Holdings LLC (“DSI Renal”) and two

120

affiliate companies. On March 17, 2014, the motion by the Company and the other defendants to transfer the case to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”) was granted. On May 6, 2014, the Delaware Court referred the matter to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The complaint alleges, among other things, that each of the named defendants participated in a purported fraudulent transfer involving the restructuring of a subsidiary of DSI Renal. Among other things, the complaint seeks, jointly and severally from all defendants, (1) damages of approximately $425, of which the complaint states the Company’s individual share is approximately $117, and (2) punitive damages. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss all claims on August 5, 2013. On July 20, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order granting the motion to dismiss certain claims and denying the motion to dismiss certain other claims, including the purported fraudulent transfer claims. The defendants answered the complaint on August 31, 2017. Under the operative scheduling order, discovery will continue until early 2019 with dispositive motions due on April 30, 2019. No trial date has been set. The Company is currently unable to assess with any certainty whether it may have any exposure in this matter. However, the Company believes the plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

On August 3, 2017, American Capital and one of its former portfolio companies were awarded a judgment plus prejudgment interest by the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the “District Court”) following a bench trial in a case first filed by one of American Capital’s insurance companies concerning coverage for bodily injury claims against American Capital and/or its former portfolio company. The District Court found that the carrier breached its duty to defend American Capital and its former portfolio company against more than 1,000 bodily injury claims and awarded American Capital damages plus prejudgment interest. American Capital’s carrier filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit; thereafter, American Capital and its former portfolio company filed a notice of cross appeal. The appeal has been fully briefed and oral argument has been scheduled in September 2018. It is currently expected the appeal will be adjudicated in late 2018 at the earliest. American Capital’s recovery, if any, will not be known until such time as the appeal is resolved.

We are externally managed by Ares Capital Management LLC (“Ares Capital Management” or our “investment adviser”), a subsidiary of Ares Management L.P. (NYSE: ARES) (“Ares Management”), a publicly traded, leading global alternative asset manager, pursuant to our investment advisory and management agreement. Ares Operations LLC (“Ares Operations” or our “administrator”), a subsidiary of Ares Management, provides certain administrative and other services necessary for us to operate.

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first lien senior secured loans (including unitranche loans), second lien senior secured loans and mezzanine debt, which in some cases includes an equity component like warrants.

To a lesser extent, we also make preferred and/or common equity investments, which have generally been non-control equity investments, of less than $20 million (usually in conjunction with a concurrent debt investment). However, we may increase the size or change the nature of these investments. Also, as a result of the American Capital Acquisition (as defined below), American Capital’s (as defined below) equity investments, including equity investments pursuant to which American Capital controlled a particular portfolio company, became part of our portfolio.

Since our initial public offering (“IPO”) on October 8, 2004 through June 30, 2018, our exited investments resulted in an asset level realized gross internal rate of return to us of approximately 14% (based on original amounts invested, net of syndications, of approximately $23.1 billion and total proceeds from such exited investments of approximately $29.3 billion). Internal rate of return is the discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash flows related to a particular investment equal to zero. Internal rate of return is gross of expenses related to investments as these expenses are not allocable to specific investments. Investments are considered to be exited when the original investment objective has been achieved through the receipt of cash and/or non-cash consideration upon the repayment of a debt investment or sale of an investment or through the determination that no further consideration was collectible and, thus, a loss may have been realized. Approximately 63% of these exited investments resulted in an asset level realized gross internal rate of return to us of 10% or greater.

Additionally, since the closing of the American Capital Acquisition on January 3, 2017 through June 30, 2018, exited investments acquired in the American Capital Acquisition resulted in an asset level realized gross internal rate of return to us of approximately 21% (based on original amounts invested of approximately $1.2 billion and total proceeds from such exited investments of approximately $1.3 billion).

Additionally, since our IPO on October 8, 2004 through June 30, 2018, our realized gains have exceeded our realized losses by approximately $629 million (excluding a one-time gain on the acquisition of Allied Capital Corporation (“Allied Capital”) and realized gains/losses from the extinguishment of debt and other assets). For this same time period, our average annualized net realized gain rate was approximately 1.0% (excluding a one-time gain on the acquisition of Allied Capital and realized gains/losses from the extinguishment of debt and other assets). Net realized gain/loss rates for a particular period are the amount of net realized gains/losses during such period divided by the average quarterly investments at amortized cost in such period.

Information included herein regarding internal rates of return, realized gains and losses and annualized net realized gain rates are historical results relating to our past performance and are not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured.

123

As a BDC, we are required to comply with certain regulatory requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities and indebtedness of private U.S. companies and certain public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. We also may invest up to 30% of our portfolio in non-qualifying assets, as permitted by the Investment Company Act. Specifically, as part of this 30% basket, we may invest in entities that are not considered “eligible portfolio companies” (as defined in the Investment Company Act), including companies located outside of the United States, entities that are operating pursuant to certain exceptions under the Investment Company Act, and publicly traded entities whose public equity market capitalization exceeds the levels provided for under the Investment Company Act.

We have elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and timely distribute to our stockholders generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. Pursuant to this election, we generally will not have to pay U.S. federal corporate-level taxes on any income that we distribute to our stockholders provided that we satisfy those requirements.

American Capital Acquisition

On May 23, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire American Capital, Ltd. (“American Capital”), a Delaware corporation (the “American Capital Acquisition”) in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $4.2 billion. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, American Capital shareholders received total consideration of approximately $18.06 per share comprised of: (i) $14.41 per share from us consisting of approximately $6.48 per share of cash (including a make-up dividend in the amount of $0.07 per share) and 0.483 shares of our common stock for each American Capital share at a value of $7.93 per American Capital share (based on the closing price per share of our common stock on January 3, 2017 (the “Acquisition Date”)), (ii) $2.45 per share of cash from American Capital’s sale of American Capital Mortgage Management, LLC, and (iii) approximately $1.20 per share of cash as transaction support provided by Ares Capital Management acting solely on its own behalf. As of the Acquisition Date, the transaction was valued at approximately $4.2 billion. The total cash and stock consideration paid by us was $3.3 billion. In connection with the stock consideration, we issued approximately 112 million shares of our common stock to American Capital’s then-existing stockholders (including holders of outstanding in-the-money American Capital stock options), thereby resulting in our then-existing stockholders owning approximately 73.7% of the combined company and then-existing American Capital stockholders owning approximately 26.3% of the combined company. As a result of the American Capital Acquisition, Ares Capital acquired $3.6 billion of assets, including $2.5 billion of investments, and assumed $226 million of liabilities.

In connection with the American Capital Acquisition, Ares Capital Management also agreed to waive, for each of the first ten calendar quarters beginning with the second quarter of 2017, the lesser of (x) $10 million of income based fees and (y) the amount of income based fees for such quarter, in each case, to the extent earned and payable by us in such quarter pursuant to and as calculated under our investment advisory and management agreement (the “Fee Waiver”). See Notes 3 and 14 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 for additional information regarding the American Capital Acquisition.

(1)

“Weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities” is computed as (a) the annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount and market discount or premium earned on accruing debt and other income producing securities, divided by (b) the total accruing debt and other income producing securities at amortized cost or at fair value as applicable. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities that were acquired as part of the American Capital Acquisition and held as of June 30, 2018 was 11.7% and 11.5% at amortized cost and fair value, respectively.

(2)

“Weighted average yields” are computed as (a) the annual stated interest rate or yield earned plus the net annual amortization of original issue discount and market discount or premium earned on the relevant accruing debt and other income producing securities, divided by (b) the total relevant investments at amortized cost or at fair value as applicable. The weighted average yield on total investments that were acquired as part of the American Capital Acquisition and held as of June 30, 2018 was 9.5% and 7.2% at amortized cost and fair value, respectively.


(3)	The proceeds from these certificates were applied to co-investments with Varagon and its clients to fund first lien senior secured loans.

Ares Capital Management, our investment adviser, employs an investment rating system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, our investment adviser grades the credit risk of all investments on a scale of 1 to 4 no less frequently than quarterly. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of such portfolio investment (i.e., at the time of origination or acquisition), although it may also take into account under certain circumstances the performance of the portfolio company’s business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant factors. Under this system, investments with a grade of 4 involve the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a potential exit. Investments graded 3 involve a level of risk to our initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is generally performing as expected and the risk factors to our ability to ultimately recoup the cost of our investment are neutral to favorable. All investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a grade of 3. Investments graded 2 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition, including as a result of factors such as declining performance and non-compliance with debt covenants; however, payments are generally not more than 120 days past due. An investment grade of 1 indicates that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has substantially increased since origination or acquisition, and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. For debt investments with an investment grade of 1, most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For investments graded 1, it is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit. For investments graded 1 or 2, our investment adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company. The grade of a portfolio investment may be reduced or increased over time.

Set forth below is the grade distribution of our portfolio companies as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:



	As of
	June 30, 2018							December 31, 2017
(dollar amounts in millions)	Fair Value		%		Number of Companies	%		Fair Value		%		Number of Companies	%
Grade 1	$	153	1.3	%	20	5.8	%	$	72	0.6	%	16	5.1	%
Grade 2	416		3.6	%	11	3.2	%	343		2.9	%	14	4.5	%
Grade 3	9,059		78.6	%	300	86.7	%	10,099		85.3	%	268	85.3	%
Grade 4	1,899		16.5	%	15	4.3	%	1,327		11.2	%	16	5.1	%
Total	$	11,527	100.0	%	346	100.0	%	$	11,841	100.0	%	314	100.0	%

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the weighted average grade of the investments in our portfolio at fair value was 3.1 and 3.1, respectively.

127

As of June 30, 2018, investments on non-accrual status represented 2.7% and 0.8% of the total investments at amortized cost and at fair value, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, investments on non-accrual status represented 3.1% and 1.4% of the total investments at amortized cost and at fair value, respectively.

Co-Investment Programs

Senior Direct Lending Program

We have established a joint venture with Varagon to make certain first lien senior secured loans, including certain stretch senior and unitranche loans, primarily to U.S. middle-market companies. Varagon was formed in 2013 as a lending platform by American International Group, Inc. and other partners. The joint venture is called the Senior Direct Lending Program LLC (d/b/a the “Senior Direct Lending Program” or the “SDLP”). In July 2016, we and Varagon and its clients completed the initial funding of the SDLP. The SDLP may generally commit and hold individual loans of up to $300 million. The SDLP is capitalized as transactions are completed and all portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SDLP must be approved by an investment committee of the SDLP consisting of representatives of ours and Varagon (with approval from a representative of each required).

We provide capital to the SDLP in the form of subordinated certificates (the “SDLP Certificates”), and Varagon and its clients provide capital to the SDLP in the form of senior notes, intermediate funding notes and SDLP Certificates. As of June 30, 2018, we and a client of Varagon owned 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the outstanding SDLP Certificates.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we and Varagon and its clients had agreed to make capital available to the SDLP of $6.4 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, in the aggregate, of which $1,444 million and $591 million, respectively, is to be made available from us. This capital will only be committed to the SDLP upon approval of transactions by the investment committee of the SDLP. Below is a summary of the funded capital and unfunded capital commitments of the SDLP.



	As of
(in millions)	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Total capital funded to the SDLP(1)	$	2,928	$	2,319
Total capital funded to the SDLP by the Company(1)	$	589	$	487
Total unfunded capital commitments to the SDLP(2)	$	115	$	92
Total unfunded capital commitments to the SDLP by the Company(2)	$	24	$	19

___________________________________________________________________________


(1)	At principal amount.


(2)	These commitments have been approved by the investment committee of the SDLP and will be funded as the transactions are completed.

The SDLP Certificates pay a coupon of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 8.0% and also entitle the holders thereof to receive a portion of the excess cash flow from the loan portfolio, after expenses, which may result in a return to the holders of the SDLP Certificates that is greater than the stated coupon. The SDLP Certificates are junior in right of payment to the senior notes and intermediate funding notes.

The amortized cost and fair value of our SDLP Certificates held by us were $589 million and $589 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2018 and $487 million and $487 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. Our yield on our investment in the SDLP at amortized cost and fair value was 15.0% and 15.0%, respectively, as of June 30, 2018 and 14.5% and 14.5%, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we earned interest income of $20 million and $39 million, respectively, from our investment in the SDLP Certificates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we earned interest income of $11 million and $21 million, respectively, from our investment in the SDLP Certificates.We are also entitled to certain fees in connection with the SDLP. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, in connection with the SDLP, we earned capital structuring service and other fees totaling $5 million and $8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, in connection with the SDLP, we earned capital structuring service and other fees totaling $5 million and $6 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the portfolio was comprised of all first lien senior secured loans primarily to U.S. middle-market companies and were in industries similar to the companies in our portfolio. As of June 30, 2018 and

128

December 31, 2017, none of the loans were on non-accrual status. Below is a summary of the SDLP’s portfolio as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Senior Secured Loan Program

We and General Electric Capital Corporation and GE Global Sponsor Finance LLC (collectively, “GE”) had previously co-invested in first lien senior secured loans of middle market companies through an unconsolidated Delaware limited liability company, the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC (d/b/a the “Senior Secured Loan Program” or the “SSLP”). The SSLP was capitalized as transactions were completed. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of the SSLP were approved by an investment committee of the SSLP consisting of representatives of ours and GE (with approval from a representative of each required). We provided capital to the SSLP in the form of the SSLP Certificates. GE provided capital to the SSLP in the form of senior notes and SSLP Certificates.

As of June 30, 2017, our investment in the SSLP Certificates at amortized cost and fair value was $1.9 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, and our yield on our investment in the SSLP Certificates at amortized cost and fair value was 5.8% and 5.8%, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, the SSLP had $1.2 billion in cash and GE’s senior notes outstanding totaled $601 million. In July 2017, the SSLP made its monthly waterfall distribution from this cash, which fully repaid the outstanding principal amount of the senior notes of the SSLP with the remaining amounts distributed to the holders of the SSLP Certificates. From this distribution, we received $474 million in respect of our SSLP Certificates. After this distribution, the amortized cost of our SSLP Certificates was $1.5 billion.

In addition, in July 2017, we and GE agreed to an effective termination of the SSLP whereby on July 26, 2017, we purchased the remaining $1.6 billion in aggregate principal amount of first lien senior secured loans outstanding at par plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees from the SSLP (the “SSLP Loan Sale”) and assumed the SSLP’s remaining unfunded loan commitments totaling $50 million. Upon completion of the SSLP Loan Sale, the SSLP made a liquidation distribution to the holders of the SSLP Certificates (the “SSLP Liquidation Distribution”), of which we received $1.5 billion. In connection with the SSLP Liquidation Distribution, we recognized an $18 million realized loss. After completion of the transactions described above, the operations of the SSLP were effectively terminated pursuant to the terms of the documents governing the SSLP and the SSLP no longer has an obligation to fund existing commitments and other amounts in respect of its former portfolio companies.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we earned interest income of $29 million and $63 million, respectively, from our investment in the SSLP Certificates. We were also entitled to certain fees in connection with the SSLP. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, in connection with the SSLP, we earned capital structuring service, sourcing and other fees totaling $3 million and $5 million, respectively, from our investment in the SSLP Certificates.

Net income can vary substantially from period to period due to various factors, including acquisitions, the level of new investment commitments, the recognition of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. As a result, comparisons of net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations may not be meaningful.

Investment Income



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2018		2017		2018		2017
Interest income from investments	$	262	$	231	$	516	$	462
Capital structuring service fees	25		29		54		41
Dividend income	24		16		46		40
Other income	22		8		34		16
Total investment income	$	333	$	284	$	650	$	559

The increase in interest income from investments for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from the comparable period in 2017 was primarily due to an increase in the average size of our portfolio and an increase in the weighted average yield of our portfolio. The size of our portfolio increased from an average of $11.7 billion at amortized cost for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to an average of $11.8 billion at amortized cost for the comparable period in 2018. The weighted average yield of our portfolio increased from 8.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to 9.1% for the comparable period in 2018. The increase in the weighted average yield was primarily due to an increase in LIBOR during the period. The decrease in capital structuring service fees for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from the comparable period in 2017 was primarily due to the decrease in new investment commitments, which decreased from $2.0 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $1.6 billion for the comparable period in 2018. Dividend income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 included dividends received from Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P. (“IHAM”) totaling $15 million and $10 million, respectively. Also during the three months ended June 30, 2018, we received $2 million in other non-recurring dividends from non-income producing equity securities compared to $3 million for the comparable period in 2017. Dividend income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 included other recurring dividends of $7 million compared to $4 million for the comparable period in 2017.

The increase in interest income from investments for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from the comparable period in 2017 was primarily due to an increase in the size of our portfolio and an increase in the weighted average yield of our

130

portfolio. The size of our portfolio increased from an average of $11.6 billion at amortized cost for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to an average of $11.9 billion at amortized cost for the comparable period in 2018. The weighted average yield of our portfolio increased from 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 9.0% for the comparable period in 2018, primarily due to an increase in LIBOR during the period. The increase in capital structuring service fees for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from the comparable period in 2017 was due to the increase in new investment commitments (excluding investments acquired as a result of the American Capital Acquisition), which increased from $2.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $3.4 billion for the comparable period in 2018, as well as the increase in the weighted average capital structuring service fees received on new investment commitments, which increased from 1.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 1.6% for the comparable period in 2018. Dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 included dividends received from IHAM totaling $28 million and $20 million, respectively. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2018, we received $5 million in other non-recurring dividends from non-income producing equity securities compared to $15 million for the comparable period in 2017.

Interest and credit facility fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, were comprised of the following:



	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2018		2017		2018		2017
Stated interest expense	$	51	$	47	$	101	$	94

Total interest and credit facility fees	$	61	$	55	$	121	$	110

Stated interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased from the comparable period in 2017 primarily due to the increase in the average principal amount of debt outstanding. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, our average principal debt outstanding increased to $4.9 billion as compared to $4.6 billion for the comparable period in 2017. The weighted average stated interest rate on our outstanding debt was 4.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 4.1% for the comparable period in 2017. Facility fees for the three months ended June 30, 2018 increased from the comparable period in 2017 primarily due to the lower utilization of our revolving facilities resulting in higher unused commitment fees.

Stated interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased from the comparable period in 2017 primarily due to the increase in the average principal amount of debt outstanding. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our average principal debt outstanding increased to $4.9 billion as compared to $4.6 billion for the comparable period in 2017. The weighted average stated interest rate on our outstanding debt was 4.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to

131

4.1% for the comparable period in 2017. Facility fees for the six months ended June 30, 2018 increased from the comparable period in 2017 primarily due to the lower utilization of our revolving facilities resulting in higher unused commitment fees.

The increase in base management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 from the comparable periods in 2017 was primarily due to the increase in the average size of our portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in income based fees for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from the comparable period in 2017 was primarily due to the pre-incentive fee net investment income, as defined in the investment advisory and management agreement, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 being higher than in the comparable period in 2017. The three and six months ended June 30, 2018 reflects the Fee Waiver of $10 million and $20 million, respectively. The three and six months ended June 30, 2017 also reflects the Fee Waiver of $10 million and $10 million, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP was $18 million and $38 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the capital gains incentive fees calculated in accordance with GAAP was $10 million and $26 million, respectively. The capital gains incentive fee expense accrual for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included an $11 million accrual related to the American Capital Acquisition as a result of the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeding the fair value of the merger consideration paid by us. The capital gains incentive fee accrued under GAAP includes an accrual related to unrealized capital appreciation, whereas the capital gains incentive fee actually payable under our investment advisory and management agreement does not. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual. As of June 30, 2018, the total capital gains incentive fee accrual calculated in accordance with GAAP was $117 million. As of June 30, 2018, there was no capital gains incentive fee actually payable under our investment advisory and management agreement. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, for more information on the base management fees, income based fees and capital gains incentive fees.

Administrative fees represent fees paid to Ares Operations for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by Ares Operations in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the compensation, rent and other expenses of certain of our executive officers and their respective staffs. Administrative fees incurred related specifically to the American Capital Acquisition are included in net professional fees and other costs related to the American Capital Acquisition as discussed below.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we incurred a net expense of $(1) million and $2 million, respectively, in professional fees and other costs related to the American Capital Acquisition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred $12 million and $38 million, respectively, in net professional fees and other costs related to the American Capital Acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, these costs included $18 million in one-time investment banking fees incurred upon the closing of the American Capital Acquisition.

Other general and administrative expenses includes, among other costs, professional fees, insurance, fees and expenses related to evaluating and making investments in portfolio companies, including the costs associated with meeting with and marketing to financial sponsors and independent directors’ fees.

Income Tax Expense, Including Excise Tax

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code and operate in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify as a RIC, we must generally (among other requirements) timely distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, for each year. In order to maintain our RIC status, we have made and intend to continue to make the requisite distributions to our stockholders which will generally relieve us from U.S. federal corporate-level income taxes.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward such taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions from such current year taxable income into the next tax year and pay a 4% excise tax on such income, as required. If we determine that our estimated current year taxable income will be in excess of estimated dividend distributions for the current year from such income, we accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a net expense of $3 million and $7 million for U.S. federal excise tax, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a net expense of $4 million and $7 million for U.S. federal excise tax, respectively.

132

Certain of our consolidated subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a net tax expense of approximately $3 million and $4 million for these subsidiaries, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a net tax expense of approximately $3 million and $2 million for these subsidiaries, respectively. The income tax expense for our taxable consolidated subsidiaries will vary depending on the level of realized gains from the exits of investments held by such taxable subsidiaries during the respective periods.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our liquidity and capital resources are generated primarily from the net proceeds of public offerings of equity and debt securities, advances from the Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Funding Facility and the SMBC Funding Facility (each as defined below and together, the “Facilities”), net proceeds from the issuance of other securities, including unsecured notes, as well as cash flows from operations.

As of June 30, 2018, we had $509 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.6 billion in total aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding ($4.5 billion at carrying value). Subject to leverage, borrowing base and other restrictions, we had approximately $3.1 billion available for additional borrowings under the Facilities as of June 30, 2018.

We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our common stock through cash purchases, as well as retire, cancel or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. In addition, we may from time to time enter into additional debt facilities, increase the size of existing facilities or issue additional debt securities, including unsecured debt and/or debt securities convertible into common stock. Any such incurrence or

139

issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. In accordance with the Investment Company Act, we are currently allowed to borrow amounts such that our asset coverage, calculated pursuant to the Investment Company Act, is at least 200% after such borrowings. On June 21, 2018, our board of directors, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the Investment Company Act) of our board of directors, approved the application of the modified asset coverage requirement set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act. As a result, effective on June 21, 2019 (unless we receive earlier stockholder approval), our asset coverage requirement applicable to senior securities will be reduced to 150%. As of June 30, 2018, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the senior securities issued by us was $4.6 billion. As of June 30, 2018, our asset coverage was 255%.

Equity Capital Activities

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our total equity market capitalization was $7.0 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively. There were no sales of our equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

On the Acquisition Date, in connection with the American Capital Acquisition, we issued 112 million shares valued at approximately $16.42 per share.

We are authorized under our stock repurchase program to purchase up to $300 in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock in the open market at certain thresholds below our net asset value per share, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by us, in our discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. We cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the program. The expiration date of the stock repurchase program is February 28, 2019. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.

As of June 30, 2018, we had repurchased a total of 0.5 million shares of our common stock in the open market under the stock repurchase program since its inception in September 2015, at an average price of $13.92 per share, including commissions paid, leaving approximately $293 million available for additional repurchases under the program. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the stock repurchase program.

Revolving Credit Facility

We are party to a senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Revolving Credit Facility”), that allows us to borrow up to $2.1 billion at any one time outstanding. The Revolving Credit Facility consists of a $414 million term loan tranche with a stated maturity date of March 30, 2023 and a $1.7 billion revolving tranche. For $1.6 billion of the revolving tranche, the end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date are March 30, 2022 and March 30, 2023, respectively. For $50 million of the revolving tranche, the end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date are January 4, 2021 and January 4, 2022, respectively. For the remaining $45 million of the revolving tranche, the end of the revolving period and the stated maturity date are May 4, 2019 and May 4, 2020, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a feature that allows us, under certain circumstances, to increase the overall size of the Revolving Credit Facility to a maximum of $3.1 billion. The interest rate charged on the Revolving Credit Facility is based on an applicable spread of either 1.75% or 1.875% over LIBOR or 0.75% or 1.00% over an “alternate base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility), in each case, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2018, the interest rate in effect was LIBOR plus 1.75%. We are also required to pay a letter of credit fee of either 2.00% or 2.25% per annum on letters of credit issued, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, we are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on any unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2018, there was $414 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and we were in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Revolving Funding Facility

Our consolidated subsidiary, Ares Capital CP Funding LLC (“Ares Capital CP”) is party to a revolving funding facility (as amended, the “Revolving Funding Facility”), that allows Ares Capital CP to borrow up to $1 billion at any one time outstanding. The Revolving Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by, and the membership interest in, Ares Capital CP. The end of the reinvestment period and the stated maturity date for the Revolving Funding Facility are January 3, 2019 and January 3, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, the interest rate charged on the Revolving Funding Facility was based on LIBOR plus 2.15% per annum or a “base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Funding Facility) plus 1.15% per annum. Ares Capital CP is also required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.50% and 1.50% per annum depending on the size of the unused portion of the Revolving Funding Facility. As of June 30, 2018, there were no outstanding amounts under the Revolving Funding Facility and we and Ares Capital CP were in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the Revolving Funding Facility.

SMBC Funding Facility

Our consolidated subsidiary, Ares Capital JB Funding LLC (“ACJB”), is party to a revolving funding facility (as amended, the “SMBC Funding Facility”), that allows ACJB to borrow up to $400 million at any one time outstanding. The

142

SMBC Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by ACJB. As of June 30, 2018, the end of the reinvestment period and the stated maturity date for the SMBC Funding Facility were September 14, 2018 and September 14, 2023, respectively. The reinvestment period and the stated maturity date are both subject to two one-year extensions by mutual agreement. The interest rate charged on the SMBC Funding Facility is based on an applicable spread of either 1.75% or 2.00% over LIBOR or 0.75% or 1.00% over a “base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the SMBC Funding Facility), in each case, determined monthly based on the amount of the average borrowings outstanding under the SMBC Funding Facility. As of June 30, 2018, the interest rate in effect was LIBOR plus 2.00%. Additionally, ACJB is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.35% and 0.875% per annum depending on the size of the unused portion of the SMBC Funding Facility. As of June 30, 2018, there were no outstanding amounts under the SMBC Funding Facility and we and ACJB were in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the SMBC Funding Facility.

SBA Debentures

In April 2015, our consolidated subsidiary, Ares Venture Finance, L.P. (“AVF LP”), received a license from the SBA to operate as a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) under the provisions of Section 301(c) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended.

The license from the SBA allowed AVF LP to obtain leverage by issuing SBA Debentures, subject to issuance of a capital commitment by the SBA and other customary procedures. Leverage through the SBA Debentures was subject to required capitalization thresholds. The original amount committed to AVF LP by the SBA was $75 million. In September 2017, AVF LP fully repaid the $25 million of the aggregate principal amount of the SBA Debentures outstanding at the time. In April 2018, our consolidated subsidiary, AVF LP, surrendered its license to operate as a SBIC and the undrawn SBA Debenture commitments of $50 million were terminated.

Convertible Unsecured Notes

We have issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible notes that mature on January 15, 2019 (the “2019 Convertible Notes”) and the $388 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible notes that mature on February 1, 2022 (the “2022 Convertible Notes” and together with the 2019 Convertible Notes, the “Convertible Unsecured Notes”). The Convertible Unsecured Notes mature upon their respective maturity dates unless previously converted or repurchased in accordance with their terms. We do not have the right to redeem the Convertible Unsecured Notes prior to maturity. The 2019 Convertible Notes and the 2022 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.375% and 3.75%, respectively, per year, payable semi-annually.

Certain key terms related to the convertible features for each of the Convertible Unsecured Notes as of June 30, 2018 are listed below.

________________________________________


(1)	Represents conversion price and conversion rate, as applicable, as of June 30, 2018, taking into account certain de minimis adjustments that will be made on the conversion date.

In certain circumstances, the Convertible Unsecured Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election, at their respective conversion rates (listed below as of June 30, 2018) subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and the requirements of their respective indenture (the “Convertible Unsecured Notes Indentures”). Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding their respective conversion date (listed above), holders may convert their Convertible Unsecured Notes only under certain circumstances set forth in the respective Convertible Unsecured Notes Indenture. On or after their respective conversion dates until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding their respective maturity date, holders may

143

convert their Convertible Unsecured Notes at any time.

See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 for more information on our debt obligations.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have various commitments to fund investments in our portfolio, as described below.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had the following commitments to fund various revolving and delayed draw senior secured and subordinated loans, including commitments to fund which are at (or substantially at) our discretion:



	As of
(in millions)	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments	$	1,422		$	881
Less: drawn commitments	(384		)	(201		)
Total undrawn commitments	1,038			680
Less: commitments substantially at our discretion	(14		)	(11		)
Less: unavailable commitments due to borrowing base or other covenant restrictions	—			—
Total net adjusted undrawn revolving and delayed draw loan commitments	$	1,024		$	669

Included within the total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were delayed draw loan commitments totaling $348 million and $251 million, respectively. Our commitment to fund delayed draw loans is triggered upon the satisfaction of certain pre-negotiated terms and conditions. Generally, the most significant and uncertain term requires the borrower to satisfy a specific use of proceeds covenant. The use of proceeds covenant typically requires the borrower to use the additional loans for the specific purpose of a permitted acquisition or permitted investment, for example. In addition to the use of proceeds covenant, the borrower is generally required to satisfy additional negotiated covenants (including specified leverage levels).

Also included within the total revolving and delayed draw loan commitments as of June 30, 2018 were commitments to issue up to $190 million in letters of credit through a financial intermediary on behalf of certain portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2018, we had $26 million in letters of credit issued and outstanding under these commitments on behalf of the portfolio companies. For all these letters of credit issued and outstanding, we would be required to make payments to third parties if the portfolio companies were to default on their related payment obligations. Of these letters of credit, $13 million expire in 2018 and $13 million expires in 2019. As of June 30, 2018, we recorded a liability of $5 million for certain letters of credit issued and outstanding and none of the other letters of credit issued and outstanding were recorded as a liability on our balance sheet as such other letters of credit are considered in the valuation of the investments in the portfolio company.

We also have commitments to co-invest in the SDLP for our portion of the SDLP’s commitments to fund delayed draw loans to certain portfolio companies of the SDLP. See “Senior Direct Lending Program” above and Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 for more information.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we were party to subscription agreements to fund equity investments in private equity investment partnerships as follows:

145



	As of
(in millions)	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Total private equity commitments	$	116		$	111
Less: funded private equity commitments	(70		)	(62		)
Total unfunded private equity commitments	46			49
Less: private equity commitments substantially our discretion	(46		)	(48		)
Total net adjusted unfunded private equity commitments	$	—		$	1

In the ordinary course of business, we may sell certain of our investments to third party purchasers. In particular, in connection with the sale of certain controlled portfolio company equity investments (as well as certain other sales), we have, and may continue to do so in the future, agreed to indemnify such purchasers for future liabilities arising from the investments and the related sale transaction. Such indemnification provisions have given rise to liabilities in the past and may do so in the future.

In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we may guarantee certain obligations in connection with our portfolio companies (in particular, certain controlled portfolio companies). Under these guarantee arrangements, payments may be required to be made to third parties if such guarantees are called upon or if the portfolio companies were to default on their related obligations, as applicable.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

From July 1, 2018 through July 25, 2018, we made new investment commitments of approximately $895 million, of which $794 million were funded. Of these new commitments, 70% were in first lien senior secured loans, 25% were in second lien senior secured loans and 5% were in other equity securities. Of the approximately $895 million of new investment commitments, 95% were floating rate and 5% were non-interest bearing. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities funded during the period at amortized cost was 7.5%. We may seek to sell all or a portion of these new investment commitments, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.

From July 1, 2018 through July 25, 2018, we exited approximately $629 million of investment commitments, including $291 million of investment commitments acquired in the American Capital Acquisition. Of the total investment commitments, 62% were first lien senior secured loans, 25% were senior subordinated loans, 11% were second lien senior secured loans and 2% were investments in the SDLP Certificates. Of the approximately $629 million of exited investment commitments, 75% were floating rate, and 25% were fixed rate. The weighted average yield of debt and other income producing securities exited or repaid during the period at amortized cost was 9.5% and the weighted average yield on total investments exited or repaid during the period at amortized cost was 9.5%. On the approximately $629 million of investment commitments exited from July 1, 2018 through July 25, 2018, we recognized total net realized gains of approximately $326 million.

In addition, as of July 25, 2018, we had an investment backlog and pipeline of approximately $710 million and $660 million, respectively. Investment backlog includes transactions approved by our investment adviser’s investment committee and/or for which a formal mandate, letter of intent or a signed commitment have been issued, and therefore we believe are likely to close. Investment pipeline includes transactions where due diligence and analysis are in process, but no formal mandate, letter of intent or signed commitment have been issued. The consummation of any of the investments in this backlog and pipeline depends upon, among other things, one or more of the following: satisfactory completion of our due diligence investigation of the prospective portfolio company, our acceptance of the terms and structure of such investment and the execution and delivery of satisfactory transaction documentation. In addition, we may sell all or a portion of these investments and certain of these investments may result in the repayment of existing investments. We cannot assure you that we will make any of these investments or that we will sell all or any portion of these investments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, which describes our critical accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Leases (Topic 840). Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases previously classified as operating leases. The guidance requires the use of a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The amendments in ASU No. 2016‑02 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. While we are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-02, we expect an increase to the consolidated balance sheets for the lease assets and associated lease liabilities for our lease agreements previously accounted for as operating leases.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and the valuations of our investment portfolio.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in our earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we fund a portion of our investments with borrowings, our net investment income is affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

As of June 30, 2018, 78% of the investments at fair value in our portfolio bore interest at variable rates, 8% bore interest at fixed rates, 13% were non-interest earning and 1% were on non-accrual status. Additionally, for the variable rate investments, 99% of these investments contained interest rate floors (representing 78% of total investments at fair value). Also, as of June 30, 2018, all the loans made through the SDLP contained interest rate floors. The Facilities all bear interest at variable rates with no interest rate floors, while the Unsecured Notes and the Convertible Unsecured Notes bear interest at fixed rates.

We regularly measure our exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on that review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates.

In December 2017, in connection with $395 of the million term loan tranche of our Revolving Credit Facility, we entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement for a total notional amount of $395 million. Under the interest rate swap agreement, we pay a fixed interest rate of 2.06% and receive a floating rate based on the prevailing one-month LIBOR. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 for more information on the Revolving Credit Facility and see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 for more information on the interest rate swap.

Based on our June 30, 2018, balance sheet, the following table shows the annual impact on net income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure and reflecting the effect of our interest rate swap agreement discussed in the paragraph above:

147



(in millions) Basis Point Change	Interest Income			Interest Expense(1)		Net Income(2)
Up 300 basis points	$	267		$	1	$	266
Up 200 basis points	$	178		$	—	$	178
Up 100 basis points	$	88		$	—	$	88
Down 100 basis points	$	(87	)	$	—	$	(87	)
Down 200 basis points	$	(97	)	$	—	$	(97	)
Down 300 basis points	$	(92	)	$	—	$	(92	)

________________________________________


(1)	Includes the impact of the interest rate swap (discussed above) as a result of changes in interest rates.


(2)	Excludes the impact of income based fees. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 for more information on the income based fees.

The above sensitivity analysis does not include our CLO equity investments. CLO equity investments are levered structures that are collateralized primarily with first lien floating rate loans that may have LIBOR floors and are levered primarily with floating rate debt that does not have a LIBOR floor. The residual cash flows available to the equity holders of the CLOs will decline as interest rates increase until interest rates surpass the LIBOR floors on the floating rate loans. However, the revenue recognized on our CLO equity investments is calculated using the effective interest method which incorporates a forward LIBOR curve in the projected cash flows. Any change to interest rates that is not in-line with the forward LIBOR curve used in the projections, in either the timing or magnitude of the change, will cause actual distributions to differ from the current projections and will impact the related revenue recognized from these investments.

Based on our December 31, 2017, balance sheet, the following table shows the annual impact on net income of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:



(in millions) Basis Point Change	Interest Income			Interest Expense(1)			Net Income(2)
Up 300 basis points	$	289		$	20		$	269
Up 200 basis points	$	192		$	13		$	179
Up 100 basis points	$	96		$	7		$	89

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018. Based upon that

148

evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2018, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below and the risk factors described in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form N-2, filed on March 6, 2018 (the “N-2”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, in the N-2 and discussed below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Effective on June 21, 2019 (unless we receive earlier stockholder approval), our asset coverage requirement will reduce from 200% to 150%, which may increase the risk of investing with us.

On June 21, 2018, our board of directors, including a “required majority” (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the Investment Company Act) of our board of directors, approved the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act. As a result, effective on June 21, 2019 (unless we receive earlier stockholder approval), our asset coverage requirement applicable to senior securities will be reduced from 200% to 150%, and the risks associated with an investment in us may increase.

Changes to United States tariff and import/export regulations may have a negative effect on our portfolio companies and, in turn, harm us.

There has been ongoing discussion and commentary regarding potential significant changes to United States trade policies, treaties and tariffs. The current administration, along with Congress, has created significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to the trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United States. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our portfolio companies’ access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition and results of operations, which in turn would negatively impact us.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Stock Repurchase Program

In September 2015, our board of directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to purchase up to $100 million in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock in the open market at certain thresholds below our net asset value per share, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by us, in our discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. In February 2017, our board of directors authorized an amendment to our stock repurchase program to increase the total authorization under the program from $100 million to $300 million. In February 2018, our board of directors authorized an amendment to our $300 million stock repurchase program to extend the expiration date of the program from February 28, 2018 to February 28, 2019. Under the stock repurchase program, we may purchase up to $300 million in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock in the open market at a price per share that meets certain thresholds below our net asset value per share, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The program does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares and we cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the program. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. As of June 30, 2018, we had repurchased a total of 0.5 million shares of our common stock in the open market under the stock repurchase program since the program’s inception in September 2015, at an average price of $13.92 per share, including commissions paid, leaving approximately $293 million available for additional repurchases under the program.

Repurchases of our common stock under our stock repurchase program for the periods below were as follows:
