The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's then outstanding common stock, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Highlights

• Net investment income for the quarter was $0.15 per share, or $11.7 million.
  
  
• Net asset value (“NAV”) per share increased to $2.93 from $2.92 quarter-to-quarter, reflecting continued favorable market conditions including ongoing tightening of credit spreads offset partially by approximately $0.02 per share of one-time HCAP merger transaction costs.
  
  
• The fair value of the Company's investments excluding derivatives totaled $520 million, of which the Company’s debt securities portfolio totaled $420 million and was comprised of investments in 144 investee companies.
  
  
• During the second quarter, the Company acquired approximately $62 million par value of investment portfolio assets. Also, during the quarter, the Company received approximately $70 million in sale and repayment proceeds, which includes a $1.5 million increase relative to the carrying value of those assets sold.
  
  
• Net leverage⁽¹⁾ was 1.0x as of June 30, 2021, down from 1.1x as of March 31, 2021, driven primarily by the HCAP merger transaction and timing of certain investments in the pipeline.
  
  
• The quarterly distribution for the second quarter was $0.06 per share and was paid on June 1, 2021.
  
  
• During the quarter, the Company issued $108.0 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured 4.875% Notes due 2026 (the “4.875% Notes due 2026”) in two separate private placement offerings. On April 30, 2021, the Company issued $80.0 million in the 4.875% Notes due 2026. Also, on April 30, 2021, the Company notified the trustee for the unsecured 6.125% Notes due 2022 of its election to redeem in full the aggregate amount outstanding of $76.7 million. This redemption was completed on May 30, 2021. On June 24, 2021, the Company issued an additional $28.0 million in the 4.875% Notes due 2026, on identical terms to the 4.875% Notes due 2026 that were issued on April 30, 2021. Also, on June 24, 2021, the Company notified the trustee for HCAP’s 6.125% Notes due 2022 of its election to redeem in full the aggregate amount outstanding of $28.75 million. This redemption was completed, subsequent to quarter-end, on July 23, 2021.
  
  
• During the quarter, several affiliates of the Company’s Advisor and an affiliate of LibreMax Intermediate Holdings, LP purchased 1,381,305 shares of the Company’s common stock for total consideration of approximately $4.0 million in a private placement. These purchases were made in accordance with the terms of the 2019 Externalization Agreement and represent the re-investment of incentive fees paid by the Company to its Advisor prior to the second anniversary of the Externalization. The shares were purchased at the net asset value per share of the Company’s common stock.
  
  
• As previously announced, following the lifting of the suspension of repurchases due to the Harvest Capital Credit Corporation (“HCAP”) merger transaction, the Company has been actively repurchasing its shares under its existing share buyback program. Through the end of the second quarter, the Company repurchased approximately $380 thousand of its shares. Subsequent to quarter-end and to date, the Company has repurchased an additional approximately $1.2 million of its shares.
  

Closing of Previously Announced Merger

• On June 9, 2021, the Company completed its previously announced HCAP merger transaction. Stockholders voted overwhelmingly in favor of the proposed transaction as over 96% of stockholders who voted at the meeting voted in favor of the merger.
  
  
• In connection with the HCAP merger transaction, the Company assumed $28.75 million of HCAP’s 6.125% Notes due 2022. As previously mentioned, these notes were redeemed in full on July 23, 2021.
  

1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's then outstanding common stock. The Company expects to complete the reverse stock split in the third quarter of 2021 and will announce additional details prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split. The Company will reevaluate the quarterly distributions in conjunction with and commensurate with the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split was approved by Portman Ridge's shareholders at its annual stockholders' meeting held on June 7, 2021. As a result of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock will be converted into one share of issued and outstanding common stock. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares to be received as a result of the reverse stock split will be redeemed for cash.

In connection with the reverse stock split, the Company's certificate of incorporation will also be amended to reduce the authorized number of shares of the Company's common stock by one half of the reverse stock split ratio.

Management Commentary

Ted Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Portman Ridge commented, “We had an active quarter highlighted by strong second quarter results and the successful closing of the HCAP merger transaction. Throughout the quarter, we continued in our efforts to position the Company for long-term success as we issued $108 million in unsecured 4.875% Notes and in turn redeemed near term maturities with higher coupons to significantly reduce our cost of debt going forward. Although our asset base has grown significantly over the past several quarters, we have maintained stable expenses and we expect the leveraging of operating expenses will continue to materialize more significantly over time. Looking ahead, we have a favorable outlook on market conditions and growth opportunities. We believe we are in a solid financial position with ample capacity as we focus on growing our investment portfolio and continue to opportunistically reposition the portfolio in order to generate incremental risk adjusted returns for our shareholders.”

“Importantly, we are also pleased to announce the Board’s approval of a 1-for-10 reverse stock split to be completed in the third quarter. We are committed to making the ownership of our stock shareholder friendly, and we believe this reverse stock split will facilitate trading in our stock to the benefit of all shareholders,” continued Goldthorpe.

Total investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 was $21.5 million and $18.3 million, respectively. Investment income increased quarter-to-quarter due to the increase in debt securities investments resulting from the HCAP merger transaction and income resulting from continued elevated repayment activity. Investment income on CLO fund securities in the quarter was $0.8 million compared with $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 reflecting repricing activity in a number of the underlying CLOs. Investment income from Joint Ventures in the quarter was $2.5 million, compared to $2.0 million earned in the first quarter of 2021 due to continued portfolio rotation and increased utilization in the joint ventures.

Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 was $9.8 million and $10.1 million, respectively. The decrease quarter-to-quarter was driven primarily by lower professional fees, offset in part by higher management and performance-based incentive fees. These fees increased due to a larger investment portfolio as compared to the prior quarter. Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs increased slightly quarter-to-quarter, from $3.4 million to $3.5 million in the second quarter due to the timing between the new issuances of lower interest-bearing debt and the full redemption of higher interest-bearing debt. The Company expects substantial interest expense savings in future periods driven by a lower weighted average interest rate on its long-term senior unsecured debt.
        
Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 was $11.7 million or $0.15 per share, and $8.2 million or $0.11 per share, respectively.

Net realized and unrealized depreciation on investments for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $(0.9) million, as compared to net realized and unrealized appreciation of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Investments on non-accrual status were 1.5% and 3.3% of the Company’s investment portfolio at fair value and amortized cost, respectively, compared to 0.7% and 2.3% as of March 31, 2021. The increase was largely due to the addition of one investment on non-accrual status resulting from the HCAP merger transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, we had $369.7 million (par value) of borrowings outstanding ($364.0 million net of capitalized costs) with a combined weighted average interest rate of 3.4%. This balance was comprised of $69.1 million of outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, $163.9 million of 2018-2 Secured Notes due 2029, $108.0 million of 4.875% Notes due 2026, and $28.75 million of HCAP’s 6.125% Notes due 2022.

During the quarter, the Company issued $108.0 million in aggregate principal of the 4.875% Notes due 2026 in two private placement offerings. On April 30, 2021, we issued $80.0 million in aggregate principal of the 4.875% Notes due 2026 and on June 24, 2021, we issued an additional $28.0 million of the 4.875% Notes due 2026 under identical terms.

The proceeds from the issuances of the 4.875% Notes due 2026 were generally used to redeem existing notes of the Company. On April 30, 2021 we notified the trustee for the 6.125% Notes due 2022 our intention to redeem in full the outstanding principal balance of $76.7 million. This redemption was completed on May 30, 2021. On June 24, 2021, we notified the trustee for HCAP’s 6.125% Notes due 2022 our intention to redeem in full the outstanding principal balance of $28.75 million. Subsequent to quarter-end, this redemption was completed on July 23, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had unrestricted cash of $65.7 million, restricted cash of $47.6 million, $45.9 million of available borrowing capacity under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, and $25.0 million of borrowing capacity under the 2018-2 Revolving Credit Facility. Total assets and stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2021 were $650 million and $269 million, respectively. Aggregate unfunded commitments stood at $36.5 million as of June 30, 2021.

The Company’s asset coverage ratio stood at 171% as of June 30, 2021, above the 150% asset coverage statutory limit.

Stockholder Distribution
