Mr. Michael C. Mauer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said “We are very pleased with the overall performance of our portfolio companies. Companies have adapted to operating in the COVID environment over the short term. Most of those affected are showing signs of a true recovery during the first quarter.”
The Company’s dividend framework provides a quarterly base dividend and is supplemented (when available) by additional dividends determined by the net investment income during the quarter.
On May 6, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a distribution for the quarter ending June 30, 2021 of $0.15 per share, payable on July 9, 2021, to stockholders of record as of June 18, 2021.
This distribution represents a 10.26% yield on the Company’s $5.85 share price as of market close on May 7, 2021. Distributions may include net investment income, capital gains and/or return of capital, however, the Company does not expect these distributions to be comprised of a return of capital. The tax status of distributions will be determined at the end of the taxable year.
Portfolio and Investment Activities
During the quarter, the Company made two investments in new portfolio companies. The aggregate capital invested during the quarter totaled $14.8 million, at cost, and the new debt investments were made at a weighted average yield of 8.51%.
The Company received proceeds of $24.0mm from repayments, sales and amortization during the quarter, primarily related to the realizations of Limbach Holdings, Inc., BW Gas & Convenience, and Empire Resorts, Inc.
The Company’s realized and unrealized gains and losses accounted for an increase in the Company’s net investments of $1.9 million, or $0.13 per share. The total net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the quarter was $3.7 million, or $0.27 per share.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of investments in 35 portfolio companies, of which 87.0% were first lien investments, 4.6% were second lien investments, 4.8% were unitranche loans, and 3.6% were equity, warrants, and other investments. The Company’s debt portfolio consisted of 99.3% floating rate investments and 0.7% fixed rate investments.
Notes due 2026
On March 31, 2021, the Company closed the public offering of $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The total net proceeds to the Company from the 2026 Notes after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1.3 million and estimated offering expenses of approximately $215,000, were approximately $63.1 million.
COVID-19 Developments
During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s portfolio was negatively affected by the economic uncertainty caused by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The Company has closely monitored its portfolio companies throughout this period, including assessing portfolio companies’ operational and liquidity exposure and outlook. Though the magnitude of the impact remains to be seen, certain of the Company’s portfolio companies and, by extension, select operating results have been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For additional information about the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, please refer to the disclosure in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $86.4 million in cash, of which $6.5 million was in restricted cash and $20.0 million of capacity under its revolving credit facility with UBS AG, London Branch.
