Except as noted, the total amount of each class of senior securities outstanding at the end of the year/period presented (in 000’s).
(2)
The asset coverage ratio for a class of secured senior securities representing indebtedness is calculated as our consolidated total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, divided by secured senior securities representing indebtedness. The asset coverage ratio for a class of unsecured senior securities is inclusive of all senior securities. This asset coverage ratio is multiplied by $1,000 to determine the Asset Coverage Per Unit.

(12)
For the period ended March 31, 2020 and all fiscal years ended June 30th, the notes are presented net of unamortized discount.
(13)
While we do not consider commitments to fund under revolving arrangements to be Senior Securities, if we were to elect to treat such unfunded commitments, which were $38,135 as of March 31, 2020 as Senior Securities for purposes of Section 18 of the 1940 Act, our asset coverage per unit would be $2,268.
(14)
During the period of April 1, 2020 through May 14, 2020, we issued $2,889 aggregate principal amount of Prospect Capital InterNotes® at par.
(15)
As of May 14, 2020, we had $415,576 outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.
(16)
On April 15, 2020, we repaid the outstanding principal amount of $127,711 of the 2020 Notes, plus interest.
(17)
If we were to consider the additional borrowings, issuances, repurchases and maturities subsequent to March 31, 2020, our asset coverage per unit for our senior secured credit facility and unsecured notes would be $12,614 and $2,238, respectively, or $2,202 including the effects of unfunded commitments.

Prospect Capital Management L.P. and its predecessors (“PCM”) have been in business for 32 years. Prospect successfully completed its initial public offering nearly 16 years ago. PCM has weathered multiple market challenges over the last several decades, including stock market crashes, credit market dislocations, liquidity crunches, epidemics, and pandemics, thereby providing valuable experience and perspective to help guide Prospect through current macroeconomic challenges.
During the prior economic downturn from 2007 to 2010, Prospect benefited by “going on offense” with the first acquisition in the history of the BDC industry (Prospect’s acquisition of Patriot Capital Funding, Inc., or “Patriot”) at an approximately 50% discount to net asset value. Prospect is actively reviewing other potential investment opportunities emerging in the current environment. Prospect is also seeking shareholder approval for the one year option to sell shares of our common stock at a price below net asset value. The purchase of Patriot might not have been possible without Prospect having previously received such approval from Prospect shareholders.



For the March 2020 quarter, we earned net investment income (“NII”) of $68.5 million, $0.19 per weighted average share, up from the December 2019 quarter by 0.9% and $0.01 per share. Our ratio of NII to distributions was 103% in the March 2020 quarter.
Over the past 10 quarters ended March 2020, our ratio of NII to distributions was 113%, with NII exceeding distributions by $85.7 million during that period.
As of March 31, 2020, our net of cash debt to equity ratio was 74.1%.
Over the past 10 quarters through March 2020, our ending quarter net of cash debt to equity ratio has ranged from 60.2% to 75.1%, averaging 69.0%. Over the past two years, other listed business development companies (“BDCs”) overall have increased leverage, with the typical listed BDC operating as of March 31, 2020 at approximately 114% debt to equity, which is approximately 40 percentage points higher than for Prospect. Prospect has not increased its target leverage, instead electing lower risk from lower leverage.
To further reduce risk, on May 5, 2020 Prospect shareholders adopted 150% minimum regulatory asset coverage under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). On April 13, 2020 Prospect also elected to benefit from additional regulatory relief with respect to the calculation of asset coverage, providing further leverage cushion through December 31, 2020. Prospect has no current plans to increase target leverage beyond the historical target of 0.70 to 0.85 debt to equity, or 218% to 243% asset coverage.
100% of Prospect’s debt has been either unsecured or non-recourse to the parent public company for over 12 years. Unsecured debt for Prospect was 92.5% of total consolidated debt in March 2020, while the typical peer BDC utilized approximately 40% unsecured debt in December 2019, more than 50 percentage points less than Prospect.
Our net asset value (“NAV”) per share decreased by $0.68 to $7.98, a decrease of 7.9%, during the March 2020 quarter. This decrease is approximately 40% less than what the average listed BDC has reported to date for the same quarter.
For the March 2020 quarter, our net loss was $(185.7) million, or $(0.51) per weighted average share, primarily due to unrealized depreciation from macroeconomic conditions.

For the nine months ended March 2020, we earned NII of $207.4 million, or $0.56 per weighted average share, down $0.11 from the prior year. For the nine months ended March 2020, our net loss was $(178.8) million, or $(0.49) per weighted average share, down $0.78 from the prior year.

DISTRIBUTION DECLARATION

Prospect is declaring distributions as follows:

•
$0.06 per share for May 2020 to May 29, 2020 record holders with June 18, 2020 payment date;
•
$0.06 per share for June 2020 to June 30, 2020 record holders with July 23, 2020 payment date;
•
$0.06 per share for July 2020 to July 31, 2020 record holders with August 20, 2020 payment date; and
•
$0.06 per share for August 2020 to August 31, 2020 record holders with September 17, 2020 payment date.

These distributions are Prospect’s 142nd, 143rd, 144th, and 145th consecutive cash distributions to shareholders. These distributions are at the same distribution rate as for each of the past 32 months.

Based on the declarations above, Prospect’s closing stock price of $4.08 at May 8, 2020 delivers to shareholders a distribution yield of 17.6%.

Based on past distributions and our current share count for declared distributions, Prospect since inception through our August 2020 distribution will have distributed $18.12 per share to original shareholders, aggregating $3.1 billion in cumulative distributions to all shareholders.

Prospect expects to declare September 2020 and October 2020 distributions in August 2020.

INSIDER PURCHASES

During the month of March 2020, our senior management team made open market purchases of $138 million of Prospect shares, increasing insider ownership to approximately 26% of shares outstanding.

We have invested in structured credit investments benefiting from individual standalone financings non-recourse to Prospect and with our risk limited in each case to our net investment amount. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our subordinated structured note portfolio at fair value consisted of the following:

To date, including called investments being liquidated, we have exited nine subordinated structured notes totaling $263.4 million with an expected pooled average realized IRR of 16.7% and cash on cash multiple of 1.48 times.
Since December 31, 2017 through today, 27 of our structured credit investments have completed multi-year extensions of their reinvestment periods (typically at reduced liability spreads and with increased weighted average life asset benefits). We believe further long-term optionality upside exists in our structured credit portfolio through additional refinancings and reinvestment period extensions.




To date during the June 2020 quarter, we have completed new and follow-on investments as follows:

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

Our laddered funding profile includes a revolving credit facility (with 30 lenders), program notes, listed baby bonds, institutional bonds, and convertible bonds. We have proactively retired upcoming maturities, including a recent retirement in April 2020, and as of today have zero debt maturing until July 2022. On September 9, 2019, we completed an amendment of our existing revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) for Prospect Capital Funding, extending the term 5.0 years from such date. Pricing for amounts drawn under the Facility is one-month Libor plus 2.20%.
The combined amount of our balance sheet cash and undrawn revolving credit facility commitments currently stands at approximately $785 million. Our total unfunded eligible commitments to non-control portfolio companies totals approximately $15 million.

Prospect holds investment grade company ratings from Standard & Poor’s (BBB-), Moody’s (Baa3), Kroll (BBB-), and Egan-Jones (BBB), with the first three of these ratings reaffirmed within the past 45 days. Maintaining our investment grade ratings is an important objective for Prospect.





DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
PLAN OVERVIEW
We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of our distributions on behalf of our shareholders, unless a shareholder elects to receive cash. If and when our board of directors authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend, then our shareholders who have not "opted out" of our dividend reinvestment plan may have their cash dividends automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, rather than receiving the cash dividends. Many shareholders have been “opted out” of our dividend reinvestment plan by their brokers.
Shareholders interested in participating in our dividend reinvestment plan (also known as a “DRIP” or “DRP”) should contact their brokers to make sure each such DRIP participation election has been made for the benefit of such shareholder. In making such DRIP election, each shareholder should specify to his or her broker the desire to participate in the "Prospect Capital Corporation DRIP plan through DTC" that issues shares based on 95% of the market price (a 5% discount to the market price), a recent amendment to benefit shareholders, and not the broker's own "synthetic DRIP” plan with 0% discount to the market price. Each shareholder should not assume his or her broker will automatically place such shareholder in our DRIP plan through DTC. Each shareholder will need to make this election proactively with his or her broker or risk not receiving the 5% discount.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Shares held with a broker or financial institution
Some brokers and financial institutions “opt out” of an issuer’s dividend reinvestment plan on behalf of all their clients and instead implement a synthetic dividend reinvestment plan in which they (1) purchase shares in the open market at the market price with zero discount with the funds from cash dividends and (2) credit client accounts with the number of shares purchased. We recommend every shareholder consult with a representative of the shareholder’s broker or financial institution with respect to participation in our dividend reinvestment plan and verify that such broker or financial institution has not “opted out” of our dividend reinvestment plan (which utilizes DTC’s dividend reinvestment service) so that the shareholder may receive a greater number of shares based on a 5% discount to the market price. Each shareholder may also consult with a representative of such shareholder’s broker or financial institution to request that the number of shares the shareholder wishes to enroll in our dividend reinvestment plan be re-registered by the broker or financial institution in the shareholder’s own name as record owner in order to participate directly in our dividend reinvestment plan.
Shares registered directly with our transfer agent
If a shareholder holds shares registered in the shareholder’s own name with our transfer agent (less than 0.1% of our shareholders hold shares this way) and wants to make a change to how the shareholder receives dividends, please contact our plan administrator, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company LLC by mail or by telephone.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE PORTFOLIO EBITDA AND NET LEVERAGE

Weighted Average Portfolio Net Leverage (“Portfolio Net Leverage”) and Weighted Average Portfolio EBITDA (“Portfolio EBITDA”) provide clarity into the underlying capital structure of our portfolio debt investments and the likelihood that our overall portfolio will make interest payments and repay principal.     
Portfolio Net Leverage reflects the net leverage of each of our portfolio company debt investments, weighted based on the current debt principal outstanding of such investments. The net leverage for each portfolio company is calculated based on our investment in the capital structure of such portfolio company, with a maximum limit of 10.0x adjusted EBITDA. This calculation excludes debt subordinate to our position within the capital structure because our exposure to interest payment and principal repayment risk is limited beyond that point. Additionally, structured credit residual interests and equity investments, for which principal repayment is not fixed, are also not included in the calculation. The calculation does not exceed 10.0x adjusted EBITDA for any individual investment because 10.0x captures the highest level of risk to us. Portfolio Net Leverage provides us with some guidance as to our exposure to the interest payment and principal repayment risk of our overall debt portfolio. We monitor our Portfolio Net Leverage on a quarterly basis.
Portfolio EBITDA is used by Prospect to supplement Portfolio Net Leverage and generally indicates a portfolio company’s ability to make interest payments and repay principal. Portfolio EBITDA is calculated using the weighted average dollar amount EBITDA of each of our portfolio company debt investments. The calculation provides us with insight into profitability and scale of the portfolio companies within our overall debt investments.
These calculations include addbacks that are typically negotiated and documented in the applicable investment documents, including but not limited to transaction costs, share-based compensation, management fees, foreign currency translation adjustments and other nonrecurring transaction expenses.
Together, Portfolio Net Leverage and Portfolio EBITDA assist us in assessing the likelihood that we will timely receive interest and principal payments. However, these calculations are not meant to substitute for an analysis of our underlying portfolio company debt investments, but to supplement such analysis.
