Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization

Runway Growth Finance Corp. (formerly known as Runway Growth Credit Fund Inc.) (the “Company”), is a Maryland corporation that was formed on August 31, 2015. On August 18, 2021, the Company changed its name to “Runway Growth Finance Corp.” from “Runway Growth Credit Fund Inc.” The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Company has elected to be treated, currently qualifies, and intends to continue to qualify annually as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company was formed primarily to lend to, and selectively invest in, high growth-potential companies in technology, life sciences, healthcare information and services, business services, select consumer services and products in other high-growth industries in the United States. The Company’s investment objective is to maximize its total return to its stockholders primarily through current income on its loan portfolio, and secondarily through capital appreciation on its warrants and other equity positions. The Company’s investment activities are managed by its external investment adviser, Runway Growth Capital LLC (“RGC”). The Company’s administrator, Runway Administrator Services LLC (the “Administrator”), is a wholly owned subsidiary of RGC and provides administrative services necessary for the Company to operate.

On October 25, 2021, the Company closed its initial public offering ("IPO"), issuing 6,850,000 shares of its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market LLC under the symbol “RWAY”.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10‑Q and Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company is an investment company following the specialized accounting and reporting guidance specified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, all of which were of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2023. The interim unaudited financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 2, 2023.

Certain items in the June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2023 presentation with no effect on the net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and no net effect on the net increase in net assets resulting from operations on the Statements of Operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists solely of funds deposited with financial institutions, while cash equivalents consists of short-term liquid investments in money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $37.6 million and $5.6 million were invested in money market funds, respectively. Interest earned in money market funds are recorded in Other income on the Statements of Operations.

Debt and Deferred Debt Costs

The debt of the Company is carried at amortized cost, which is comprised of the principal amount borrowed, net of unamortized debt issuance costs on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Debt issuance costs are fees and other direct incremental costs incurred by the Company in relation to debt financing and are recognized as Unamortized deferred debt costs on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the life of the related debt instrument, or the life of the cost respective service if shorter, using the straight-line method, which closely approximates the effective yield method. To the extent there are no outstanding borrowings, the deferred debt costs are presented as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Amortization of deferred debt costs and interest expense on the outstanding principal balance are recorded in Interest and other deferred financing expenses on the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid interest is included within Interest payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For more information, refer to “Note 7 – Borrowings.”

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income

Security transactions, if any, are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains or losses from the repayment or sale of investments are measured using the specific identification method. The amortized cost basis of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion/amortization of discounts and premiums and upfront loan origination fees. The Company reports changes from the prior period in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the Statements of Operations.

Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, if any, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. Original issue discount (“OID”), principally representing the estimated fair value of detachable equity, warrants or contractual success fees obtained in conjunction with the Company’s debt investments, loan origination fees, end of term payments, and market discount or premium are capitalized and accreted or amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees received in connection with the closing of investments are reported as unearned income, which is included as amortized cost of the investment; the unearned income from such fees is accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the loan based on the effective interest method. Upon prepayment of a debt investment, any unamortized loan origination fees, end-of-term payments, and unamortized market discounts are recorded as interest income and any prepayment penalties are recorded as fee income. Upon amending terms of an existing investment, any amendment fees charged are recorded as fee income.

Table of Contents The Company currently holds, and expects to hold in the future, some investments in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provisions. PIK interest is computed at the contractual rate specified in each loan agreement and is added to the principal balance of the loan, rather than being paid to the Company in cash, and is recorded as interest income. Thus, the actual collection of PIK interest may be deferred until the time of debt principal repayment. PIK interest, which is a non-cash source of income, is included in the Company’s taxable income and therefore affects the amount of income the Company is required to distribute to stockholders to maintain its qualification as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, approximately 15.3% and 12.6%, respectively, of the Company’s total investment income was attributable to non-cash PIK interest. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 14.8% and 11.6%, respectively, of the Company’s total investment income was attributable to non-cash PIK interest.

Non-Accrual of Investments

Debt investments are placed on non-accrual status when principal, interest, and other obligations become materially past due or when there is reasonable doubt that principal, interest, or other obligations will be collected in full. At the point of non-accrual, the Company will cease recognizing interest income on the debt investment until all principal and interest due have been paid or the Company believes the borrower has demonstrated the ability to repay its current and future contractual obligations. Additionally, any OID associated with the debt investment is no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Any payments received on non-accrual loans are first applied to principal prior to recovery of any foregone interest or end of term payment fees. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal or interest are paid, and, in management’s judgment are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this policy if the investment has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection such that the Company will be made whole on the investment, inclusive of interest and end of term payment fees.

As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company has not written off any accrued and uncollected PIK interest. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had one loan to Pivot3, Inc. on non-accrual status. The loan, with a cost basis of $18.0 million and a fair value of $11.6 million, represents 1.06% of the Company’s total investment portfolio. From being placed on non-accrual status through June 30, 2023, cumulative interest of $5.1 million would be receivable and $0.3 million OID would be accreted into the cost basis, for a total of $5.4 million not recorded in interest income from control investments on the Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had one loan to Pivot3, Inc. on non-accrual status. The loan, with a cost basis of $19.2 million and a fair value of $9.3 million, represents 0.8% of the Company’s total investment portfolio. From being placed on non-accrual status through December 31, 2022, cumulative interest of $3.6 million would be payable and $0.3 million OID would be accreted into the cost basis, for a total of $3.9 million not recorded in interest income from control investments on the Statement of Operations.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures the value of its financial instruments at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”), issued by the FASB. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. With the exception of the Company’s borrowings, which are reported at amortized cost, all assets and liabilities approximate fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below:

• Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

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

• Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to the inability to observe inputs to valuation.

22

---

Table of Contents

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the instrument.

Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset, which may be a hypothetical market, and excludes transaction costs. The principal market for any asset or liability is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for such asset or liability in which the reporting entity would or could sell or transfer the asset or liability. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under ASC Topic 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to such market as of the measurement date. 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.

Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act was adopted by the SEC in December 2020 and establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits boards, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions, to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are "readily available" for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must determine the fair value of a security. The SEC also adopted new Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act ("Rule 31a-4"), which provides the recordkeeping requirements associated with fair value determinations. Finally, the SEC rescinded previously issued guidance on related issues, including the role of the board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 became effective on March 8, 2021, and had a compliance date of September 8, 2022. While the Company's Board of Directors has not designated a valuation designee, the Company has adopted certain revisions to its valuation policies and procedures in order comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4.

Investment Valuation Techniques

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Company undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter, as described below:

• The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company investment being initially valued by RGC’s investment professionals that are responsible for the portfolio investment;

• Preliminary valuation conclusions are then documented and discussed with RGC’s senior investment team;

• At least once annually, the valuation for each portfolio investment is reviewed by an independent valuation firm. Certain investments, however, may not be evaluated by an independent valuation firm if the net asset value and other aspects of such investments in the aggregate do not exceed certain thresholds;

• The Audit Committee then reviews these preliminary valuations from RGC and the independent valuation firm, if any, and makes a recommendation to the Company’s Board of Directors regarding such valuations; and

• The Company’s Board of Directors reviews the recommended preliminary valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio, in good faith, based on the input of RGC, the independent valuation firm and the Audit Committee.

The Company’s investments are primarily loans made to and equity and warrants of small, fast-growing companies focused in technology, life sciences, health care information and services, business services, and other high-growth industries. These investments are considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 because there is no known or accessible market or market indices for these types of debt and equity instruments and, thus, RGC’s senior investment team must estimate the fair value of these investment securities based on models utilizing unobservable inputs.

23

---

Table of Contents

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors assists the Board of Directors in valuing investments that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued using market quotations, which are generally obtained from independent pricing services, broker-dealers or market makers. With respect to portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of the Audit Committee, RGC and its senior investment team and independent valuation agents, is responsible for determining, in good faith, the fair value in accordance with the valuation policy approved by the Board of Directors. If more than one valuation method is used to measure fair value, the results are evaluated and weighted, as appropriate, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results. The Company considers a range of fair values based upon the valuation techniques utilized and selects the value within that range that was most representative of fair value based on current market conditions as well as other factors RGC’s senior investment team considers relevant.

The Company’s Board of Directors makes this fair value determination on a quarterly basis and any other time when a decision regarding the fair value of the portfolio investments is required. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates and depends on the facts and circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of portfolio investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

Valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. There is no single standard for determining the fair value of investments that do not have an active public market. Valuations of privately held investments are inherently uncertain, as they are based on estimates, and their values may fluctuate over time. The determination of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an active market for these investments existed. In some cases, the fair value of such investments is best expressed as a range of values derived utilizing different methodologies from which a fair value may then be determined.

Debt Investments

To determine the fair value of the Company’s debt investments, the Company compares the cost basis of the debt investment, which includes OID, to the resulting fair value determined using a discounted cash flow model, unless another model is more appropriate based on the circumstances at the measurement date. The discounted cash flow approach entails analyzing the interest rate spreads for recently completed financing transactions that are similar in nature to the Company’s investments, in order to determine a comparable range of effective market interest rates for its investments. The range of interest rate spreads utilized is based on borrowers with similar credit profiles. All remaining expected cash flows of the investment are discounted using this range of interest rates to determine a range of fair values for the debt investment.

This valuation process includes, among other things, evaluating the underlying investment performance, the portfolio company’s current financial condition and ability to raise additional capital, as well as macro-economic events that may impact valuations. These events include, but are not limited to, current market yields and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. Significant increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurements.

Under certain circumstances, the Company may use an alternative technique to value the debt investments to be acquired by the Company that better reflects the fair value of the investment, such as the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or a binding offer received in an arms-length transaction, the use of multiple probability-weighted cash flow models when the expected future cash flows contain elements of variability or estimates of proceeds that would be received in a liquidation scenario.

Warrants

Fair value of warrants is primarily determined using a Black Scholes option-pricing model. Privately held warrants and equity-related securities are valued based on an analysis of various factors including, but not limited to, the following:

• Underlying enterprise value of the issuer is estimated based on information available, including any information regarding the most recent rounds of issuer funding. Valuation techniques to determine enterprise value include market multiple approaches, income approaches or approaches that utilize recent rounds of financing and the portfolio company’s capital structure to determine enterprise value. Valuation techniques are also utilized to allocate the enterprise fair value of a portfolio company to the specific class of common or preferred stock exercisable in the warrant. Such techniques take into account the rights and preferences of the portfolio company’s securities, expected exit scenarios, and volatility associated with such outcomes to allocate the fair value to the specific class of stock held in the portfolio. Such techniques include Option Pricing Models, or “OPM,” including back-solve techniques, Probability Weighted Expected Return Models, or “PWERM,” and other techniques as determined to be appropriate.

• Volatility, or the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of the changes in the warrant price, is based on comparable publicly traded companies within indices similar in nature to the underlying company issuing the warrant. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase or decrease in this unobservable input.

• The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The risk-free interest rates are calculated based on a weighted average of the risk-free interest rates that correspond closest to the expected remaining life of the warrant. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase (decrease) in this unobservable input.

• Other adjustments, including a marketability discount on private company warrants, are estimated based on judgment about the general industry environment. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase (decrease) in this unobservable input.

• Historical portfolio experience on cancellations and exercises of warrants are utilized as the basis for determining the estimated life of the warrants in each financial reporting period. Warrants may be exercised in the event of acquisitions, mergers or initial public offerings, and cancelled due to events such as bankruptcies, restructuring activities or additional financings. These events cause the expected remaining life assumption to be shorter than the contractual term of the warrants. Significant increases (decreases) in this unobservable input could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value, but a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase (decrease) in this unobservable input.

Under certain circumstances, the Company may use an alternative technique to value warrants that better reflects the warrants’ fair values, such as an expected settlement of a warrant in the near term, a model that incorporates a put feature associated with the warrant, or the price paid or realized in a recently completed transaction or binding offer received in an arms-length transaction. The fair value may be determined based on the expected proceeds to be received from such settlement or based on the net present value of the expected proceeds from the put option.

Equity Investments

The fair value of an equity investment in a privately held company is initially the face value of the amount invested. The Company adjusts the fair value of equity investments in private companies upon the completion of a new third-party round of equity financing subsequent to the Company’s investment. The Company may make adjustments to fair value, absent a new equity financing event, based upon positive or negative changes in a portfolio company’s financial or operational performance. The Company may also reference comparable transactions and/or secondary market transactions in connection with its determination of fair value. The fair value of an equity investment in a publicly traded company is based upon the closing public share price on the date of measurement. These assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Investment Classification

The Company is a non-diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Company classifies its investments by level of affiliation and control. As defined in the 1940 Act, investee companies are deemed as affiliated investments when a company or individual possesses, or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of 5.0% or more of the outstanding voting securities of an investee company. Control investments are those where the investor has the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of an investee company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses, or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of more than 25.0% of the outstanding voting securities of an investee company, or maintains greater than 50% representation on the investee company's board of directors.

Investments are recognized when the Company assumes an obligation to acquire a financial instrument and assumes the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Investments are derecognized when the Company assumes an obligation to sell a financial instrument and foregoes the risks for gains or losses related to that instrument. Specifically, the Company records all security transactions on a trade date basis. Investments in other, non-security financial instruments, such as limited partnerships or private companies, are recorded on the basis of subscription date or redemption date, as applicable. Amounts for investments recognized or derecognized but not yet settled will be reported as receivables for investments sold and payables for investments acquired, respectively, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2016, currently qualifies as a RIC, and intends to qualify annually for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. A RIC generally is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on distributed income and gains so long as it meets certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and it distributes at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of its net long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by the Company represents obligations of the Company’s investors and will not be reflected in the financial statements of the Company. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year and it does not anticipate paying any material U.S. federal income taxes in the future.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company 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 the Company determines that the estimated current year taxable income will exceed the estimated dividend distributions for the current year from such income, the Company accrues excise tax on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned. Differences between taxable income and net increase in net assets resulting from operations either can be temporary, meaning they will reverse in the future, or permanent. In accordance with Section 946-205-45-3 of the ASC, permanent tax differences are reclassified from accumulated undistributed earnings to paid-in-capital at the end of each year and have no impact on total net assets. For more information, refer to "Note 10 – Income Taxes."

Per Share Information

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period presented. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock were the same because there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Per share data is based on the weighted-average shares outstanding.

Distributions

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the applicable record date. The amount, if any, to be distributed to common stockholders is determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and is generally based upon the Company's earnings estimated by management. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed at least annually. For more information, refer to "Note 9 – Net Assets."

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization costs include, among other things, the cost of organizing as a Maryland corporation, including the cost of legal services and other fees pertaining to the Company's organization, all of which are expensed as incurred. Offering costs include, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the Company’s public and private offering materials as well as travel-related expenses related to the Company’s public and private offerings. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement (as defined below), the Company and RGC agreed that organization and offering costs incurred in connection with the Initial Private Offering would be borne by the Company up to a maximum amount of $1.0 million, provided that the amount of such costs in excess of $1.0 million would be paid by RGC. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had already incurred the maximum amount of $1.0 million in organization and offering costs incurred in connection with the Initial Private Offering.

Offering costs related to the Second Private Offering were accumulated and charged to additional paid in capital at the time of closing beginning in 2019. These offering costs related to the Second Private Offering were subject to a cap of $0.6 million, excluding placement agent fees which had no cap, of which the Company will bear the cost. At the completion of the Second Private Offering, the Company had accumulated and recorded $0.7 million in offering costs and $0.2 million in placement agent fees related to the Second Private Offering. Under the terms of the Second Private Offering, offering costs in excess of $0.6 million, excluding placement agent fees, were reimbursed by RGC.

Offering costs related to the IPO were accumulated and charged to additional paid in capital at the time of closing in October 2021. The Company had accumulated and recorded $7.0 million of offering costs related to the Company’s IPO. The offering costs were fully born by the Company and included underwriting fees, legal fees, and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the Company’s offering materials as well as travel-related expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions", which was issued to (1) clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company does not anticipate the new standard will have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Second Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement

On November 29, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an investment advisory agreement between RGC and the Company, under which RGC, subject to the overall supervision of the Board of Directors, manages the day-to-day operations of and provides investment advisory services to the Company (together with a subsequent amendment thereto, the “Prior Advisory Agreement”). On August 3, 2017, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments to the Prior Advisory Agreement (the “First Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement”) and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve the First Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement. The First Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement became effective on September 12, 2017 upon approval by the stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company. On April 7, 2021, the Board of Directors approved certain additional amendments to the advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) at a virtual meeting and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve the Advisory Agreement. In reliance upon certain exemptive relief granted by the SEC in connection with the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Directors undertook to ratify the Advisory Agreement at its next in-person meeting which was held in July 2021. The Advisory Agreement became effective on May 27, 2021 upon approval by the stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company. The Advisory Agreement amended the Prior Advisory Agreement to include certain revisions to the management and incentive fee calculation mechanisms and clarify language relating to liquidity events. On May 2, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors renewed the Advisory agreement for a period of twelve months commencing May 27, 2023. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, RGC:

• determines the composition of the Company’s portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to the portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;

• identifies, evaluates and negotiates the structure of the investments the Company makes;

• executes, closes and monitors the investments the Company makes;

• determines the securities and other assets that the Company will purchase, retain or sell;

• performs due diligence on prospective investments; and

• provides the Company with other such investment advisory, research and related services as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of its funds.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays RGC a fee for its investment advisory and management services consisting of two components – a base management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the base management fee and incentive fee are ultimately borne by the Company’s stockholders.

Base Management Fee

The base management fee is payable on the first day of each calendar quarter and is calculated on the Company's "Gross Assets" which, for purposes of the Advisory Agreement, is defined as the Company’s gross assets, including assets purchased with borrowed funds or other forms of leverage, as well as any PIK interest, as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. The base management fee will be an amount equal to 0.375% (1.50% annualized) of the Company’s average daily Gross Assets during the most recently completed calendar quarter, so long as the aggregate amount of the Company’s Gross Assets as of the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter is equal to or greater than $1.0 billion. If the aggregate amount of the Company’s Gross Assets as of the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter is less than $1.0 billion but equal to or greater than $500 million, the base management fee will be an amount equal to 0.40% (1.60% annualized) of the Company’s average daily Gross Assets during the most recently completed calendar quarter. If the aggregate amount of the Company’s Gross Assets as of the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter is less than $500 million, the base management fee will be an amount equal to 0.4375% (1.75% annualized) of the Company’s average daily Gross Assets during the most recently completed calendar quarter.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, RGC earned base management fees at a rate of 1.50% per annum, amounting to $4.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, RGC earned base management fees at a rate of 1.60% per annum, amounting to $2.9 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Incentive Fee

The incentive fee, which provides RGC with a share of the income that RGC generates for the Company, consists of an investment-income component and a capital-gains component, which are largely independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not.

Under the investment-income component (the “Income Incentive Fee”), the Company pays RGC each quarter an incentive fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income. The Income Incentive Fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. Payments based on Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income will be based on the Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income earned for the quarter. For this purpose, “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, managerial and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) that the Company accrues during the fiscal quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the amended and restated administration were deferred incentive fees payable, both of which are included in incentive fees payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities agreement with the Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”), and any dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID accretion, debt instruments with pay in kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income the Company has not yet received in cash; provided, however, that the portion of the Income Incentive Fee attributable to deferred interest features will be paid, only if and to the extent received in cash, and any accrual thereof will be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write off or similar treatment of the investment giving rise to any deferred interest accrual, applied in each case in the order such interest was accrued. Such subsequent payments in respect of previously accrued income will not reduce the amounts payable for any quarter pursuant to the calculation of the Income Incentive Fee described above. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized or unrealized capital gains (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 liabilities) at the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 2.0% per quarter (8.0% annualized). The Company pays RGC an Income Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Income Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0%; (2) 80% 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 2.667% in any calendar quarter (10.668% annualized) (the portion of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income that exceeds the hurdle but is less than 2.667% is referred to as the “catch-up”; the “catch-up” is meant to provide RGC with 20.0% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as if a hurdle did not apply if the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income exceeds 2.667% in any calendar quarter (10.668% annualized)); and (3) 20.0% of the amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.667% in any calendar quarter (10.668% annualized) payable to RGC (once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 20.0% of all Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income thereafter is allocated to RGC).

Until the consummation of a Spin-Off transaction (defined below), in the event that (a) the sum of the Company’s cumulative net realized losses since the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC exceeded 2.0% of the total non-control/non-affiliate investments made by the Company since the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the end of the quarter and (b) the Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income adjusted to include any realized capital gains and losses (“Adjusted Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income”), expressed as an annualized rate of return on the value of the Company’s average daily net assets (defined as total assets less liabilities), since the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the end of the quarter was less than 10.0%, no Income Incentive Fee would be payable for such quarter until the first subsequent quarter in which either (x) the sum of the Company’s cumulative net realized losses since the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC was equal to or less than 2.0% of the total non-control/non-affiliate investments made by the Company since the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the end of such subsequent quarter or (y) the Adjusted Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as an annualized rate of return on the value of the Company’s average daily net assets (defined as total assets less liabilities), since the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the of the end of the quarter equals or exceeds 10.0%; provided, however, that in no event would any Income Incentive Fee be payable for any prior quarter after the three-year anniversary of the end of such quarter. For purposes of the Advisory Agreement, a “Spin-Off transaction” includes either a transaction whereby (a) the Company offers its stockholders the option to elect to either (i) retain their ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock, or (ii) exchange their shares of the Company’s common stock for shares of common stock in a newly formed entity (the “Public Fund”) that will elect to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code (the “Public Fund Spin Off”); or (b) the Company completes a listing of the Company’s securities on any securities exchange (an “Exchange Listing”).

Table of Contents

Under the capital gains component of the incentive fee (the “Capital Gains Fee”), the Company will pay RGC, as of the end of each calendar year, 20.0% of the Company’s aggregate cumulative realized capital gains, if any, from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through the end of that calendar year, computed net of the Company’s aggregate cumulative realized capital losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital losses through the end of such year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gains Fee. For the foregoing purpose, the Company’s “aggregate cumulative realized capital gains” will not include any unrealized gains. If such amount is negative, then no Capital Gains Fee will be payable for such year.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, RGC earned incentive fees of $4.9 million and $9.5 million, respectively; $3.4 million and $6.9 million of which was payable in cash, respectively, and $1.5 million and $2.6 million was accrued and generated from deferred interest, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, RGC earned incentive fees of $3.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively; of which $3.0 million and $4.1 million was payable in cash, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.9 million was accrued and generated from deferred interest, respectively. All incentive fees accrued and generated from deferred interest (i.e., PIK and certain discount accretion) are not payable until receipt of respective cash by the Company. As of June 30, 2023, $3.5 million were payable in cash, and $7.3 million were deferred incentive fees payable, both of which are included in incentive fees payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of December 31, 2022, $3.8 million were payable in cash, and $5.0 million were deferred incentive fees payable, both of which are included in incentive fees payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The capital gains incentive fee consists of fees related to realized gains and losses and unrealized capital losses. With respect to the incentive fee expense accrual related to the capital gains incentive fee, U.S. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized gains in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized gains were realized even though such unrealized gains are not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Advisory Agreement. As of each of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no capital gains incentive fee accrued, earned or payable to RGC under the Advisory Agreement.

Spin-Off Incentive Fee

The Income Incentive Fee will be payable in connection with a Public Fund Spin-Off as follows. The Income Incentive Fee will be calculated as of the date of the completion of each Public Fund Spin-Off and will equal the amount of Income Incentive Fee that would be payable to RGC if (1) all of the Company’s investments were liquidated for their current value and any unamortized deferred portfolio investment-related fees would be deemed accelerated, (2) the proceeds from such liquidation were used to pay all of the Company’s outstanding liabilities, and (3) the remainder were distributed to the Company’s stockholders and paid as incentive fee in accordance with the Income Incentive Fee described in clauses (1) and (2) above for determining the amount of the Income Incentive Fee; provided, however, that in no event will the Income Incentive Fee paid in connection with the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off (x) include the portion of the Income Incentive Fee attributable to deferred interest features of a particular investment that is not transferred pursuant to the Public Fund Spin-Off until such time as the deferred interest is received in cash, or (y) exceed 20.0% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income accrued by the Company for the fiscal quarter as of the date of the completion of the Public-Fund Spin-Off. The Company will make the payment of the Income Incentive Fee paid in connection with the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off in cash on or immediately following the date of the completion of the Public-Fund Spin-Off. After the Public Fund Spin-Off, all calculations relating to the incentive fee payable will be made beginning on the day immediately following the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off without taking into account the exchanged shares of the Company’s common stock (or contributions, distributions or proceeds relating thereto).

The Capital Gains Fee will be payable in respect of the exchanged shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Public Fund Spin-Off and will be calculated as of the date of the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off as if such date were a calendar year-end for purposes of calculating and paying the Capital Gains Fee.

No Income Incentive Fee or Capital Gains Fee will be payable in connection with the Public Fund Spin-Off unless, on the date of the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off, the sum of the Company’s (i) Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income and (ii) realized capital gains less realized capital losses and unrealized capital losses from the date of the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC through, and including, the date of the completion of the Public Fund Spin-Off, is greater than 8.0% of the cumulative net investments made by the Company since the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC.

Note 4 – Investments

Control and Affiliate Investments

The Company classifies its investment portfolio by level of affiliation and control in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. As defined in the 1940 Act, investee companies are deemed as affiliated investments when a company or individual possesses, or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of 5.0% or more of the outstanding voting securities of an investee company. Control investments are those where the investor has the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of an investee company. Control is generally deemed to exist when a company or individual possesses, or has the right to acquire within 60 days or less, beneficial ownership of more than 25.0% of the outstanding voting securities of an investee company, or maintains greater than 50% representation on the investee company's board of directors.

Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company may utilize derivative contracts in connection with its investment activities. Investments in derivative contracts are subject to additional risks that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment. The derivative activities and exposure to derivative contracts primarily involve equity price risks. In addition to the primary underlying risk, additional counterparty risk exists due to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Warrants provide exposure and potential gains upon equity gains of the portfolio company’s equity value. A warrant has a limited life and expires on a certain date. As a warrant’s expiration date approaches, the time value of the warrant will decline. In addition, if the stock underlying the warrant declines in price, the intrinsic value of an “in the money” warrant will decline. Further, if the price of the stock underlying the warrant does not exceed the strike price of the warrant on the expiration date, the warrant will expire worthless. As a result, there is the potential for the entire value of an investment in a warrant to be lost. The Company’s volume of warrant investment activity is closely correlated to its primary senior secured loans to portfolio companies. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had net realized gains (losses) of $0.0 million and $(1.2) million, respectively, and a net unrealized gain (loss) of $(0.9) million and $(2.6) million, respectively, from its investments in warrants. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had net realized gains (losses) of $0.0 million and $(0.3) million, respectively, and a net unrealized gain (loss) of ($1.0) million and $0.2 million, respectively, from its investments in warrants. Realized gains (losses) from warrants are included in the respective control, affiliate, or non-control/non-affiliate Net realized gain (loss) on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net change in unrealized gain (loss) from investments in warrants is included in the respective control, affiliate, or non-control/non-affiliate Net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments on the Statement of Operations.

Counterparty risk exists from the potential failure of an issuer of warrants to settle its exercised warrants. The maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the contracts and the purchase price of the warrants. The Company’s Board of Directors considers the effects of counterparty risk when determining the fair value of its investments in warrants.

(1) The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s debt securities are origination yields and discount rates. The origination yield is defined as the initial market price of an investment in a hypothetical market to hypothetical market participants where buyers and sellers are willing participants. The discount rate is related to company-specific characteristics such as underlying investment performance, projected cash flows, and other characteristics of the investment. Significant increases (decreases) in the inputs in isolation may result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement, depending on the materiality of the investment. However, a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase (decrease) in the unobservable inputs.

(2) The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s warrant and equity-related securities are inputs used in the OPM, which include industry volatility, risk free interest rate and estimated time to exit. The Equity Allocation model and the Black Scholes model were the main OPMs used during the period ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022. Probability Weighted Expected Return Models (“PWERM”) and other techniques were used as determined appropriate. Significant increases (decreases) in the inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement, depending on the materiality of the investment. However, a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement of any of the Company’s portfolio investments may occur regardless of whether there is a significant increase (decrease) in the unobservable inputs. For some investments, additional consideration may be given to data from the last round of financing or merger/acquisition events near the measurement date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Reported at Cost

The fair value of the Company’s Credit Facility, April 2026 Notes, December 2026 Notes, July 2027 Notes, August 2027 Notes, and December 2027 Notes (as defined in "Note 7 – Borrowings") is estimated using the relative market yield approach. The fair value of the Company's Credit Facility, December 2026 Notes and August 2027 Notes are estimated using Level 3 inputs by discounting remaining payments using comparable market rates or market quotes for similar instruments at the measurement date. The fair value of the Company's July 2027 Notes and December 2027 Notes is based on vendor pricing received by the Company, which is considered a Level 2 input, and reflects the market close price of the notes traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market LLC under the symbol "RWAYL" and "RWAYZ", respectively.

As of both June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Credit Facility, April 2026 Notes, July 2027 Notes, August 2027 Notes, and December 2027 Notes approximates fair value. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the December 2026 Notes was approximately $53.6 million and the carrying value was approximately $69.3 million, net of unamortized deferred debt costs of $0.7 million. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the December 2026 Notes was approximately $57.0 million and the carrying value was approximately $69.2 million, net of unamortized deferred debt costs of $0.8 million.

Note 6 – Concentration of Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company maintains its cash balances at large, high credit-quality financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company is subject to credit risk to the extent that any financial institution with which it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf. The Company monitors the financial condition of those financial institutions and believes that risk of loss associated with any uninsured balance is remote.

The amount of loss due to credit risk from the Company's investments, if borrowers completely fail to perform according to the terms of the loan agreement, is equal to the sum of the Company’s recorded investments and the portion of unfunded commitments currently eligible to be drawn. Refer to "Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies" for a summary of the aggregate balance of unfunded as of June 30, 2023. The Company collateralizes its investments by obtaining a first priority security interest in a portfolio company’s assets, which may include its intellectual property.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The Company elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code starting with its taxable year ended December 31, 2016. The Company currently qualifies and intends to qualify annually for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. A RIC generally is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on distributed income and gains so long as it meets certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and it distributes at least 90% of its net ordinary income and net short-term capital gains in excess of its net long-term capital losses, if any, to its stockholders. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned by the Company represents obligations of the Company’s investors and will not be reflected in the financial statements of the Company. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions to maintain its RIC status each year and it does not anticipate paying any material United States federal income taxes in the future.

Federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP, therefore distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary in nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their appropriate tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future.

The following table sets forth the tax cost basis and the estimated aggregate gross unrealized gain (loss) on investments for federal income tax purposes as of and for the period ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

	June 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
Tax cost on investments	$	1,119,938		$	1,149,902
Change in unrealized gain on a tax basis	$	12,941		$	9,207
Change in unrealized loss on a tax basis		(37,558	)		(32,800	)
Net unrealized gain (loss) on a tax basis	$	(24,617	)	$	(23,593	)

The Company accounts for income taxes in conformity with ASC Topic 740 — Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 provides guidelines for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in Consolidated Financial Statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet a "more-likely-than-not" threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. There were no material uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. Although the Company files federal and state tax returns, the Company's major tax jurisdiction is federal. The previous three tax year-ends and the interim tax period since then remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

If the Company does not distribute (or is not deemed to have distributed) each calendar year the sum of (1) 98% of its net ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income recognized, but not distributed, in preceding years (the “Minimum Distribution Amount”), the Company will generally be required to pay a U.S. federal excise tax equal to 4% of the amount by which the Minimum Distribution Amount exceeds the distributions for the year. To the extent that the Company determines that its estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, the Company accrues excise taxes, if any, on estimated excess taxable income as taxable income is earned using an annual effective excise tax rate. The annual effective U.S. federal excise tax rate is determined by dividing the estimated annual excise tax by the estimated annual taxable income.

If the Company does not qualify to be treated as a RIC for any taxable year, the Company will be taxed as a regular corporation (a “C corporation”) under subchapter C of the Code for such taxable year. If the Company has previously qualified as a RIC but is subsequently unable to qualify, and certain amelioration provisions are not applicable, the Company would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on all of its taxable income (including its net capital gains) at regular corporate rates. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions to stockholders, nor would it be required to make distributions. In order to requalify as a RIC, in addition to the other requirements discussed above, the Company would be required to distribute all of its previously undistributed earnings attributable to the period it failed to qualify by the end of the first year that it intends to requalify. If the Company fails to requalify for a period greater than two taxable years, it may be subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate tax rates on any net built-in gains with respect to certain of its assets (i.e., the excess of the aggregate gains, including items of income, over aggregate losses that would have been realized with respect to such assets if the Company had been liquidated) that it elects to recognize on requalification or when recognized over the next five years.

(1) All per share activity is calculated based on the weighted-average shares outstanding for the relevant period.

(2) Total return based on net asset value is calculated as the change in net asset value per share during the period, divided by the beginning net asset values per share. The total returns are not annualized.

(3) Total return based on market value is calculated as the change in market value per share during the period plus dividends, divided by beginning market value per share. The total returns are not annualized.

(4) The ratios are calculated based on weighted average net assets for the relevant period and are annualized.

(5) The ratio includes annualized incentive fees and as incentive fees are performance driven, the amount expensed in future periods may vary significantly and is dependent on overall investment performance, early terminations, scheduled prepayments and other liquidity events.

(6) The portfolio turnover rate for the period is calculated by taking the lesser of investment portfolio purchases or sales during the period, divided by the average investment portfolio value during the period. As such, portfolio turnover rate is not annualized.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10‑Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about us, our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs and opinions, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “potential,” “predicts” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:

• changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets;

• an economic downturn or recession, as well as the impairment or failure of financial institutions on both a global and domestic scale, could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies;

• such an economic downturn could disproportionately impact the companies that we intend to target for investment, potentially causing us to experience a decrease in investment opportunities and diminished demand for capital from these companies;

• a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets that could impair our lending and investment activities;

• interest rate volatility that could adversely affect our results, particularly to the extent that we use leverage as part of our investment strategy;

• the impact of interest and inflation rates on our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

• our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies;

• our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

• the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;

• competition with other entities and our affiliates for investment opportunities;

• the speculative and illiquid nature of our investments;

• the use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments;

• the adequacy of our financing sources and working capital;

• the loss of key personnel;

• the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies and the impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic thereon;

• the ability of our external investment adviser, Runway Growth Capital LLC (“RGC”), to locate suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;

• the ability of RGC to attract and retain highly talented professionals;

• our ability to qualify and maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and as a business development company (“BDC”);

• the occurrence of a disaster, such as a cyber-attack against us or against a third party that has access to our data or networks, a natural catastrophe, an industrial accident, failure of our disaster-recovery systems, or consequential employee error;

• the effect of legal, tax, and regulatory changes; and

• the other risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 2, 2023 and in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Although we believe the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These risks and uncertainties include those described or identified in “Risk Factors” in in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023.

We have based the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10‑Q on information available to us on the date of this Form 10‑Q, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we have filed or in the future may file with the SEC, including our annual reports on Form 10‑K, quarterly reports on Form 10‑Q and current reports on Form 8‑K.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10‑Q.

Overview

Runway Growth Finance Corp. ("we," "us," "our," or the "Company"), a Maryland corporation formed on August 31, 2015, is structured as an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company. On August 18, 2021, we changed our name to "Runway Growth Finance Corp." from "Runway Growth Credit Fund Inc." We are a specialty finance company focused on providing senior secured loans to high growth-potential companies in technology, life sciences, healthcare information and services, business services, select consumer services and products and other high-growth industries. Our goal is to create significant value for our stockholders and the entrepreneurs we support by providing high growth-potential companies with hybrid debt and equity financing that is more flexible than traditional credit and less dilutive than equity. Our investment objective is to maximize our total return to our stockholders primarily through current income on our loan portfolio, and secondarily through capital gains on our warrants and other equity positions. Our offices are in Chicago, Illinois; Menlo Park, California; San Diego, California; Dallas, Texas; and New York, New York.

We have 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 "1940 Act"). We have also elected to be treated as regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). While we currently qualify and intend to qualify annually to be treated as a RIC, no assurance can be provided that we will be able to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC. If we fail to qualify for tax treatment as a RIC for any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on any net taxable income for such year. As a BDC and a RIC, we are required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in “qualifying assets,” source-of-income limitations, asset diversification requirements, and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our investment company taxable income and net tax-exempt interest.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). We will remain an emerging growth company until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our IPO (December 31, 2026), or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more, (ii) December 31 of the fiscal year in which we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”), (which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million, measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months), or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, we will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

Table of Contents

We are externally managed by RGC, an investment adviser that has registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Administrator, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RGC, provides all the administrative services necessary for us to operate.

On August 10, 2020, we, RGC, and certain other funds and accounts sponsored or managed by RGC and/or its affiliates were granted an order (the “Order”), amended on August 30, 2022, that permits us greater flexibility than the 1940 Act permits to negotiate the terms of co-investments if our Board of Directors determines that it would be advantageous for us to co-invest with other accounts sponsored or managed by RGC or its affiliates in a manner consistent with the our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. We believe that the ability to co-invest with similar investment structures and accounts sponsored or managed by RGC or its affiliates will provide additional investment opportunities and the ability to achieve greater diversification. Under the terms of the Order, a majority of our independent directors are required to make certain determinations in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the proposed transaction are reasonable and fair to us and our stockholders and do not involve overreaching of us or our stockholders on the part of any person concerned and (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our and is consistent with our investment strategies and policies.

On August 30, 2022, we received an amendment to our existing Order to permit us to, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, co-invest in our existing portfolio companies with certain affiliates that are private funds even if such other funds had not previously invested in such existing portfolio company. Without this Order, such affiliated funds that are private funds would not be able to participate in such co-investments with us unless the affiliated funds had previously acquired securities of the portfolio company in a co-investment transaction with us.

Portfolio Composition and Investment Activity

Portfolio Composition

At June 30, 2023, we had investments in 49 portfolio companies, representing 23 companies in which we held loan and warrant investments, two companies in which we held loan investments and shares of common, preferred stock, or a combination with warrants, six companies in which we held a loan investment only, thirteen companies in which we held warrant investments only, and five companies in which we held shares of common or preferred stock only, or a combination with warrants. At December 31, 2022, we had investments in 49 portfolio companies, representing 28 companies in which we held loan and warrant investments, one companies in which we held loan investments and shares of common, preferred stock, or a combination with warrants, six companies in which we held a loan investment only, nine companies in which we held warrant investments only, and five companies in which we held shares of common or preferred stock only, or a combination with warrants.

The following table shows the fair value of our investments, by asset class, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

	June 30, 2023							December 31, 2022

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, our debt investment portfolio had a dollar-weighted annualized yield of 16.69% and 15.65%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, our debt investment portfolio had a dollar-weighted annualized yield of 15.11% and 13.44%, respectively. We calculate the yield on dollar-weighted debt investments for any period measured as (1) total related investment income during the period divided by (2) the daily average of the fair value of debt investments outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2023, our debt investments had a dollar-weighted average outstanding term of 56 months at origination and a dollar-weighted average remaining term of 40 months, or approximately 3.4 years. As of June 30, 2023, substantially all of our debt investments had an original committed principal amount of between $6.0 million and $85.0 million, repayment terms of between 37 months and 82 months and pay cash interest at annual interest rates of between 7.01% and 16.51%.

The following table shows our dollar-weighted annualized yield by investment type for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	Fair Value(1)												Cost(2)
	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,						Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

(1) We calculate the dollar-weighted annualized yield on average investment type for any period as (a) total related investment income during the period divided by (b) the daily average of the fair value of the investment type outstanding during the period. The dollar-weighted annualized yield represents the portfolio yield and will be higher than what investors will realize because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load paid by investors.

(2) We calculate the dollar-weighted annualized yield on average investment type for any period as (a) total related investment income during the period divided by (b) the daily average of the investment type outstanding during the period, at amortized cost. The dollar-weighted annualized yield represents the portfolio yield and will be higher than what investors will realize because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load paid by investors.

Investment Activity

The value of our investment portfolio will change over time due to changes in the fair value of our underlying investments, as well as changes in the composition of our portfolio resulting from purchases of new and follow-on investments as well as repayments and sales of existing investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not fund any new portfolio companies and funded $63.5 million in eight existing portfolio companies, net of upfront loan origination fees. The Company also received $98.9 million in loan repayments from six portfolio companies and $6.8 million in scheduled principal payments from two portfolio companies. There were no proceeds from the termination of warrants, sale of preferred stock, and sale of common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company funded $151.2 million in six new portfolio companies and $82.3 million in nine existing portfolio companies, net of upfront loan origination fees. The Company also received $80.9 million in loan repayments from four portfolio companies and $7.3 million in scheduled principal payments from two portfolio companies. There was $5.9 million in proceeds from the termination of warrants, sale of preferred stock, and sale of common stock.

Asset Quality

In addition to various risk management and monitoring tools, RGC uses an investment rating system to characterize and monitor the quality of our debt investment portfolio. Equity securities and Treasury Bills are not graded. This debt investment rating system uses a five-level numeric scale. The following is a description of the conditions associated with each investment rating:

Investment<br>Rating	Rating Definition
1	Performing above plan and/or strong enterprise profile, value, financial performance/coverage. Maintaining full covenant and payment compliance as agreed.
2	Performing at or reasonably close to plan. Acceptable business prospects, enterprise value, financial coverage. Maintaining key covenant and payment compliance as agreed. All new loans are initially graded Category 2.
3	Performing below plan of record. Potential elements of concern over performance, trends and business outlook. Loan-to-value remains adequate. Potential key covenant non-compliance. Full payment compliance.
4	Performing materially below plan. Non-compliant with material financial covenants. Payment default/deferral could result without corrective action. Requires close monitoring. Business prospects, enterprise value and collateral coverage declining. These investments may be in workout, and there is a possibility of loss of return but no loss of principal is expected.
5	Going concern nature in question. Substantial decline in enterprise value and all coverages. Covenant and payment default imminent if not currently present. Investments are nearly always in workout. May experience partial and/or full loss.

The following table shows the investment ratings of our debt investments at fair value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

Loans and Debt Securities on Non-Accrual Status

Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will cease recognizing interest income on that loan for financial reporting purposes until all principal and interest have been brought current through payment or due to a restructuring such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we have not written off any accrued and uncollected PIK interest. As of June 30, 2023, we had one loan to Pivot3, Inc. on non-accrual status. The loan, with a cost basis of $18.0 million and a fair value of $11.6 million, represents 1.06% of the total investment portfolio. From being placed on non-accrual status through June 30, 2023, cumulative interest of $5.1 million would be receivable and $0.3 million OID would be accreted into the cost basis, for a total of $5.4 million not recorded in Interest income from control investments on the Statement of Operations. As of December 31, 2022, we had one loan to Pivot3, Inc. on non-accrual status. The loan, with a cost basis of $19.2 million and a fair market value of $9.3 million represents 0.8% of the total investment portfolio. From being placed on non-accrual status through December 31, 2022, cumulative interest of $3.6 million would be payable and $0.3 million OID would be accreted into the cost basis, for a total of $3.9 million not recorded in Interest income from control investments on the Statement of Operations.

Results of Operations

An important measure of our financial performance is net increase/(decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income/(loss), net realized gain/(loss) and net unrealized gain/(loss). Net investment income/(loss) is the difference between our income from interest, dividends, fees and other investment income and our operating expenses, including interest on borrowed funds. Net realized gain/(loss) on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their amortized cost. Net unrealized gain/(loss) on investments is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio.

Investment Income

Our investment objective is to maximize total return to our stockholders primarily through current income on our loan portfolio, and secondarily through capital gain on our warrants and other equity positions. We intend to achieve our investment objective by investing in high growth-potential, private companies. We typically invest in senior secured loans that generally fall into two strategies: Sponsored Growth Lending and Non-Sponsored Growth Lending. We generally receive warrants and/or other equity from our investments. We expect our investments in loans will generally range from between $10.0 million to $100.0 million, and the upper end of this range may increase as we raise additional capital.

We generate revenue in the form of interest on the debt securities that we hold and distributions and capital gains on other interests that we acquire in our portfolio companies. We expect that the debt we invest in will generally have stated terms of 36 to 60 months. Interest on debt securities is generally payable monthly, primarily based on a floating rate index, and subject to certain floors determined by market rates at the time the investment is made. In some cases, some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest will become due at the maturity date. Any original issue discount ("OID") or market discount or premium will be capitalized, and we will accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We record prepayment fees on debt investments as fee income. Dividend income, if any, will be recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.

Table of Contents

Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $41.9 million and $25.0 million, respectively, and includes non-recurring income of $2.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Non-recurring income includes, but is not limited to, unamortized OID, prepayment fees and amendment fees. The increase in investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to increased interest income driven by our deployment of capital, increased invested balance, and increased market interest rates.

Operating Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of fees to RGC under the Advisory Agreement, our allocable portion of overhead expenses under the Administration Agreement, professional fees, and other operating costs described below.

• all other expenses incurred by us, our Administrator or RGC in connection with administering our business, including payments under the Administration Agreement based on our allocable portion of our Administrator’s overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $22.2 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Operating expenses increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in interest expense as a result of increased leverage, performance-based incentive fees, and management fees. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $0.55 and $0.26 per share, respectively.

Management fees for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $4.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Management fees increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in gross assets, offset by a decrease in the base management rate from 1.6% to 1.5% per annum.

Incentive fees increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in net investment income. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, $3.4 million of the incentive fees were payable in cash, and $1.5 million were deferred and accrued. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, $3.0 million of the incentive fees were payable in cash, and $0.6 million were deferred and accrued.

Net investment income increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to rising interest rates on our investments, partially offset by an increase in interest expense, performance-based incentive fees, and management fees. Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.49 and $0.35 per share, respectively.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments

There were no net realized gains (losses) on investments for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The net realized gain on investments of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the gain on a portion of our investment in the common stock of Brilliant Earth Group, Inc.

Net Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments

Net change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in the fair value of our senior secured loans to Brivo, Inc., as well as a recovery of $1.2 million in liquidation of assets related to the senior secured loan to Pivot3, Inc., which released prior unrealized loss recorded on the investment. The net change in unrealized loss on investments of $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to decreases in the fair value of our investment in the senior secured loan to Pivot3, Inc. and common stock of Brilliant Earth Group, Inc.

The net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the comparative net change in unrealized gain (loss), as well as an increase in net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, Capital Resources and Obligations

Our liquidity and capital resources are derived from net proceeds from the offering of our securities, debt borrowings and cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments, and income earned. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt and the proceeds from the turnover of our portfolio and from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives. We expect that we may also generate cash from any financing arrangements we may enter into in the future and any future offerings of our equity or debt securities. Financing arrangements may come in the form of borrowings from banks or issuances of senior securities, which may be secured or unsecured, through registered offerings or private placements. Our primary use of funds is to make investments in eligible portfolio companies, pay our operating expenses and make distributions to holders of our common stock.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we principally funded our operations from (i) cash receipts from interest, dividend, and fee income from our investment portfolio and (ii) cash proceeds from the realization of portfolio investments through the repayments of debt investments and the sale of debt and equity investments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our operating activities provided $71.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, compared to $73.0 million used during the six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The $144.6 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $135.0 million decrease in purchases of investments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our financing activities used $39.6 million of cash, compared to $75.1 million provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 . The $114.7 million increase in cash flows used in financing activities was primarily due to decreased net borrowing activity of $154.0 million and increased dividend distributions of $12.9 million, offset by decreased reverse repurchase agreements of $44.8 million.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2023, our net assets totaled $573.9 million, with a net asset value per share of $14.17. We intend to continue to operate in order to generate cash flows from operations, including income earned from investments in our portfolio companies. Our primary use of funds will be investments in portfolio companies and cash distributions to holders of our common stock.

Available Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had $227.7 million in available liquidity, including $37.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $190.0 million available under our Credit Facility, subject to borrowing base capacity. As of June 30, 2023, we had $310.0 million of secured debt outstanding under our Credit Facility, which are floating interest rate obligations and $247.3 million of unsecured debt outstanding under 2026 and 2027 Notes, which are all fixed interest rate debt obligations. Refer to "Note 7 – Borrowings" to our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional discussion of our debt obligations.

Pursuant to the 1940 Act, we are permitted to incur borrowings, issue debt securities, or issue preferred stock unless immediately after the borrowings or issuance the ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness plus preferred stock is less than 150% (at least 200% prior to June 17, 2022). As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our asset coverage ratio was 203% for both periods ended.

As detailed above, our diverse and well-structured balance sheet is designed to provide a long-term focused and sustainable investment platform. Currently, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to support our near-term capital requirements.

Commitments and Obligations

Our significant contractual payment obligations relate to our borrowings and deferred incentive fees. As of June 30, 2023, we had $557.3 million of debt outstanding, none of which was due within the next year, $335.0 million within 1 to 3 years, and $222.3 million beyond 3 years. As of June 30, 2023, we had $7.3 million of deferred incentive fees, $0.8 million of which was due within the next year, $2.4 million within 1 to 3 years, and $4.0 million beyond 3 years.

In addition to our on-balance sheet contractual obligations, in the normal course of business, we have future cash requirements related our financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These consist of unfunded loan commitments to extend credit, in the form of loans, to our portfolio companies. Unfunded loan commitments to provide funds to portfolio companies are not reflected on our balance sheet.

Our unfunded loan commitments may be significant from time to time. As of June 30, 2023, we had $234.3 million in unfunded loan commitments to provide debt financing to its portfolio companies The availability of unfunded loan commitments are dependent upon the portfolio company reaching certain performance milestones and time-based cancellation provisions before the loan commitment becomes available. Furthermore, our credit agreements generally contain customary lending provisions which allow us relief from funding obligations for previously made unfunded commitments in instances where the underlying company experiences materially adverse events that affect the financial condition or business outlook for the company. These commitments will be subject to the same underwriting and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial instruments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We maintain sufficient liquidity (through cash on hand and available borrowings under the Credit Facility) to fund such unfunded loan commitments should the need arise. As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $103.0 million of available unfunded commitments eligible to be drawn based on achieved milestones. Refer to “Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies” of our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a summary of unfunded loan commitments by portfolio company as of June 30, 2023.

The fair value of our unfunded commitments is considered to be immaterial as the yield determined at the time of underwriting is expected to be materially consistent with the yield upon funding, given that interest rates are generally pegged to market indices and given the existence of milestones, conditions and/or obligations embedded in the borrowing agreements.

Distributions

To the extent that we have funds available, we intend to make quarterly distributions to our stockholders. Our stockholder distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. Any distribution to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. We anticipate that distributions will be paid from income primarily generated by interest and dividend income earned on investments made by us.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we declared and paid dividends in the amount of $18.2 million and $36.5 million, respectively, of which $17.5 million and $34.9 million, respectively, was distributed in cash and the remainder distributed in shares to stockholders pursuant to the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we declared and paid

Table of Contents

dividends in the amount of $51.6 million, of which $40.7 million was distributed in cash and the remainder distributed in shares to stockholders pursuant to our Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

The timing and amount of our distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors and will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. Refer to "Note 9 – Net Assets" of our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a summary of the distributions declared and paid since inception.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period reports. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. For a description of our critical accounting policies, including those related to the valuation of investments and our election to be treated, and intent to qualify annually, as a RIC refer to “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. We consider the most significant accounting policies to be those related to our Fair Value Measurements and Income Taxes.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We commenced investment activities in portfolio securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and commenced investment activities in U.S. Treasury Bills during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

We are subject to financial market risk, including changes in the valuations of our investment portfolio. Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. The prices of securities held by us may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies we invest in; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; legislative reform; local, regional, national or global political, social or economic instability; and interest rate fluctuations. Uncertainty with respect to the ongoing economic effects of the COVID‑19 pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets, and the effects of this volatility could materially impact our market risks.

Valuation Risk

Our investments may not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. 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 our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is possible that the difference could be material.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing intervals between our assets and liabilities and the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flows. Changes in interest rates may affect both our cost of funding and our interest income from portfolio investments, and cash and cash equivalents. Changes in interest rates can also affect our ability to acquire and originate loans and securities and the value of our investment portfolio. Our net investment income is affected by fluctuations in various interest rates, including SOFR and Prime rates. Increasing interest rates could have the effect of increasing our total investment income once interest rates increase above contractual interest rates floors to which our portfolio companies are subject. Conversely, we would expect the cost of our floating rate Credit Facility and unsecured notes to increase as well, offsetting the positive effect on our net interest income.

As of June 30, 2023, 100.0% of our performing debt portfolio investments bore interest at variable rates, consisting of approximately 64.0% based on SOFR and 36.0% based on Prime. As a policy, any interest above the cash cap, if applicable, as determined on an individual loan basis will accrue to principal and be treated as PIK interest. A hypothetical 200 basis point increase (decrease) in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt investments could increase our investment income by a maximum of $20.3 million and decrease our investment income by a maximum of $19.7 million, due to certain floors, on an annual basis.

Our debt borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate, all other outstanding debt borrowings bear interest at a fixed rate. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest on a per annum basis equal to the SOFR plus an applicable margin rate that ranges from 2.95% to 3.35% per annum depending on the Company's leverage ratio and number of eligible loans in the collateral pool. For additional information regarding the interest rate associated with each of our debt borrowings, refer to "Note 7 – Borrowings" to our financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Because we currently borrow, and plan to borrow in the future, money to make investments, our net investment income would be dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest the funds borrowed. Accordingly, 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. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our net investment income if there is not a corresponding increase in interest income generated by our investment portfolio.

We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. We may hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the

Table of Contents

requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates.

In addition, any investments we make that are denominated in a foreign currency will be subject to risks associated with changes in currency exchange rates. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved, and may be exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic on foreign financial markets.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a‑15 under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We and RGC are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we or RGC may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. While the outcome of any such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that any such proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the risks described below and all other information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including our interim financial statements and the related notes thereto, before making a decision to purchase our securities. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, you may lose all or part of your investment. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes known to us during the period ended June 30, 2023 to the risk factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023.

Our business and our portfolio companies may be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions and to risks related to bank impairments or failures

Many of the portfolio companies in which we have invested or expect to make investments are likely to be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions and may be unable to repay our loans during such periods. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase our funding costs, limit our access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to us. These events could prevent us from increasing our investments and harm business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. In March 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) took control of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank and subsequently in May 2023 of First Republic Bank due to liquidity concerns and concerns that have arisen regarding the stability of other banks and financial institutions. Also, the impairment or failure of one or more banks with whom the Company, its portfolio companies, and/or the Adviser transact may inhibit the ability of the Company or its portfolio companies to access depository accounts. In such cases, we may be forced to delay or forgo investments, resulting in lower performance. In the event of such a failure of a banking institution where we or one or more of our portfolio companies holds depository accounts, access to such accounts could be restricted and FDIC protection may not be available for balances in excess of amounts insured by the FDIC. In such instances, we and our affected portfolio companies would not recover such excess, uninsured amounts. To the extent that we or the portfolio companies are impacted, the ability to access existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, or to access existing or enter into new banking arrangements or facilities to service our portfolio companies, may be threatened. We had no depository relationships with Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, or First Republic Bank, nor did we participate in any credit facilities that were agented by or included these banks as lenders. A number of our portfolio companies had operating relationships with these banks and may have experienced operational disruptions, all of which have since been resolved.

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

Other than pursuant to our Dividend Reinvestment Plan, and except as previously reported by us on our current reports on Form 8‑K, we did not sell any securities during the period covered by this Form 10‑Q that were not registered under the Securities Act.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Custody Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2017, is made and entered into as of August 3 2023 by and among Runway Growth Finance Corp., as successor in interest to GSV Growth Credit Fund Inc. (the “Company”), U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as custodian (the “Custodian”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as document custodian (the “Document Custodian”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company, the Custodian and the Document Custodian entered into that certain Custody Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2017 (the “Original Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Company has requested, and the Custodian and the Document Custodian agree to amend the Original Agreement on the terms herein in order to permit the Custodian to hold certain foreign assets through its sub-custodian;

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the Company and the Custodian for themselves and their respective successors and permitted assigns, hereby agree as follows:

1. Section 1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the defined terms below in its respective alphabetical order:

““Foreign Sub-custodian” means and includes any sub-custodian appointed to administer any of the Company’s Foreign Securities, pursuant to Section 6 below. “

““Foreign Securities” means Securities for which the primary market is outside the United States.”

2. Section 6 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

6. SECURITIES HELD OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES

6.1 Appointment of Foreign Sub-custodian. The Company hereby authorizes and instructs the Custodian in its sole discretion to employ one or more Foreign Sub- custodians to act as Eligible Securities Depositories or as sub-custodian to hold the Securities and other assets of the Company maintained outside the United States, subject to the Company’s approval in accordance with this Section. If the Custodian wishes to appoint a Foreign Sub-custodian to hold property of the Company subject to this Agreement, it will so notify the Company and provide it with information reasonably necessary to determine any such new Foreign Sub-custodian’s eligibility under Rule 17f- 5 under the 1940 Act, including a copy of the proposed agreement with such Foreign Sub-custodian.

Execution Version

6.2 Assets to be Held. The Custodian shall limit the Securities and other assets maintained in the custody of the Foreign Sub-custodian to: (a) Foreign Securities and

(b) cash and cash equivalents in such amounts as the Company (through Proper Instructions) may determine to be reasonably necessary to effect the Company’s transactions in such investments.

6.3 Omnibus Accounts. The Custodian may hold Foreign Securities and related Proceeds with one or more Foreign Sub-custodians or Eligible Securities Depositories in each case in a single account with such Foreign Sub-custodian or Eligible Securities Depository that is identified as belonging to the Custodian for the benefit of its customers; provided however, that the records of the Custodian with respect to Securities and related Proceeds that are property of the Company maintained in such account(s) shall identify by book-entry those Securities and other property as belonging to the Company.

6.4 Reports Concerning Foreign Sub-custodian. The Custodian will supply to the Company, upon request from time to time, statements in respect of the Securities held by Foreign Sub-custodians or Eligible Securities Depositories, including an identification of the Foreign Sub-custodians and Eligible Securities Depositories having physical possession of the Foreign Securities.

6.5 Transactions in Foreign Custody Account. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, settlement and payment for Securities received by a Foreign Sub-custodian or Eligible Securities Depository for the account of the Company may be effected in accordance with the customary established securities trading or securities processing practices and procedures in the jurisdiction or market in which the transaction occurs, including delivering securities to the purchaser thereof or to a dealer therefor (or an agent for such purchaser or dealer) against a receipt with the expectation of receiving later payment for such securities from such purchaser or dealer.

6.6 Foreign Sub-custodian. Each contract or agreement pursuant to which the Custodian employs a Foreign Sub-custodian shall include provisions that provide: (i) for indemnification or insurance arrangements (or any combination of the foregoing) such that the Company will be adequately protected against the risk of loss of assets held in accordance with such contract; (ii) that the Company’s assets will not be subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of the Foreign Sub- custodian or its creditors (except a claim of payment for their safe custody or administration) or, in the case of cash deposits, liens or rights in favor of creditors of the Foreign Sub-custodian arising under bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws; (iii) that beneficial ownership for the Company’s assets will be freely transferable without the payment of money or value other than for safe custody or administration; (iv) that adequate records will be maintained identifying the assets as belonging to the Company or as being held by a third party for the benefit of the Company; (v) that the Company’s independent public accountants will be given access to those records or confirmation of the contents of those records; and (vi) that the Company will receive periodic reports with respect to the safekeeping of the Company’s assets, including notification of any transfer to or from a Company’s account or a third party account containing assets held for the benefit of the Company. Such contract may contain, in lieu of any or all of the provisions specified above, such other provisions that the Custodian determines will provide, in their entirety, the same or a greater level of care and protection for Company assets as the specified provisions, in their entirety.

6.7 Custodian’s Responsibility for Foreign Sub-custodian.

(a) With respect to its responsibilities under this Section 6, the Custodian agrees to exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence such as a person having responsibility for the safekeeping of property of the Company would exercise. The Custodian further agrees that the Foreign Securities will be subject to reasonable care, based on the standards applicable to the Custodian in the relevant market, if maintained with each Foreign Sub-custodian, after considering all factors relevant to the safekeeping of such assets, including: (i) the Foreign Sub-custodian’s practices, procedures, and internal controls, including the physical protections available for certificated securities (if applicable), the method of keeping custodial records, and the security and data protection practices; (ii) whether the Foreign Sub-custodian has the requisite financial strength to provide reasonable care for Company assets; (iii) the Foreign Sub-custodian’s general reputation and standing and, in the case of Eligible Securities Depository, the Eligible Securities Depository’s operating history and number of participants; and (iv) whether the Company will have jurisdiction over and be able to enforce judgments against the Foreign Sub- custodian, such as by virtue of the existence of any offices of the Foreign Sub- custodian in the United States or the Foreign Sub-custodian’s consent to service of process in the United States.

(b) At the end of each calendar quarter, or at such other times as the Company’s board of directors deems reasonable and appropriate based on the circumstances of the Company’s foreign custody arrangements, the Custodian shall provide written reports notifying the board of directors of the Company as to the placement of the Foreign Securities and cash of the Company with a particular Foreign Sub-custodian and of any material changes in the Company's foreign custody arrangements. The Custodian shall promptly take such steps as may be required to withdraw assets of the Company from any Foreign Sub- custodian that has ceased to meet the requirements of Rule 17f-5 under the 1940 Act.

(c) The Custodian shall establish a system to monitor the appropriateness of maintaining the Company’s assets with a particular Foreign Sub-custodian and the performance of the contract governing the Company’s arrangements with such Foreign Sub-custodian. To the extent the Custodian holds Foreign Securities and related Proceeds with one or more Eligible Securities Depositories, the Custodian shall (i) provide the Company with an analysis of the custody risks associated with maintaining assets with such Eligible Securities Depository and shall monitor such custody risks on a continuing basis and promptly notify the Company of any material change in these risks and (ii) if the Custodian determines that a custody arrangement with an Eligible Securities Depository no longer meets the requirements of Rule 17f-7 under the 1940 Act, the Company’s Foreign Securities must be withdrawn from such depository as soon as reasonably practicable. The Custodian agrees to exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence in performing its obligations under this clause (c).

Execution Version

(d) The Custodian’s responsibility with respect to the selection or appointment of a Foreign Sub-custodian shall be limited to a duty to exercise reasonable care in the selection or retention of such Foreign Sub-custodian in light of prevailing settlement and securities handling practices, procedures and controls in the relevant market. With respect to any costs, expenses, damages, liabilities, or claims (including attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred as a result of the acts or the failure to act by any Foreign Sub-custodian, the Custodian shall take reasonable action to recover such costs, expenses, damages, liabilities, or claims from such Foreign Sub-custodian; provided that the Custodian’s sole liability in that regard shall be limited to amounts actually received by it from such Foreign Sub-custodian (exclusive of related costs and expenses incurred by the Custodian). The Custodian shall have no responsibility for any act or omission (or the insolvency of) any Securities System (including an Eligible Securities Depository).

3. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed, and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York for all purposes (without regard to its choice of law provisions); except to the extent such laws are inconsistent with federal securities laws, including the 1940 Act, in which case such federal securities laws shall govern.

4. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, each Agreement remains in full force and effect on the date hereof.

5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed (including by .pdf file, .jpeg file, facsimile transmission or any other electronic or image file, or any “electronic signature” as defined under E-SIGN or ESRA, which includes any electronic signature provided using Adobe Sign, DocuSign, or any other similar platform identified by the Company with counterpart pages) in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall, taken together, be considered one and the same agreement, it being understood that both Parties need not sign the same counterpart.
