OFS Capital Corp (OFS) is an externally managed BDC with a portfolio concentrated in middle-market senior secured loans and structured finance securities. As of March 31, 2026, total assets were $315.7M against total liabilities of $206.4M, producing reported NAV of $109.3M ($8.16/share). Under the liquidation lens, the primary asset is the investment portfolio carried at fair value of $308.1M, but the BDC's own disclosures acknowledge that a forced liquidation sale would realize materially less than current fair value — particularly for illiquid middle-market debt and equity positions, and for structured finance securities (CLO tranches) that trade in thin secondary markets. Applying a modest 10-15% haircut to the $308.1M fair value portfolio yields liquidation proceeds of approximately $262-277M against $206.4M of liabilities at face value, leaving a residual of roughly $55-71M — well below the $109.3M book NAV. This gap is the core recovery risk. The $16.0M redemption of the 4.75% Unsecured Notes Due February 2026 in Q1 2026 eliminated the nearest maturity and replaced it with the new Natixis Facility ($44.7M drawn against $80M capacity, maturing 2031), refinancing the prior BNP Facility. No debt now matures until February 2028. The liability stack sits at $202.5M par across three tranches: Banc of California revolver ($8.8M, secured, 7.89%), Natixis Facility ($44.7M, secured at OFSCC-FS subsidiary, SOFR+2.35%), and Unsecured Notes ($149.0M, fixed rate, 74% of total debt). The secured facilities ($53.5M) have priority over the unsecured notes in a wind-down scenario; the Natixis Facility is ring-fenced to OFSCC-FS assets ($114.7M fair value at that subsidiary). The Banc of California amendment dated March 27, 2026 reduced the minimum tangible NAV covenant from $100M to $75M and reduced the minimum quarterly NII covenant to $1.0M through September 2026 — a covenant relaxation that signals earnings pressure relative to prior requirements. Asset coverage ratio stands at 154%, marginally above the 150% regulatory minimum. NAV per share declined sharply QoQ from $9.19 (Q4 2025) to $8.16 (Q1 2026), driven by net realized and unrealized losses of $13.9M. The stock traded at $3.55, a 56.5% discount to NAV at period-end. PIK income ($587K) and OID/discount accretion ($2.5M) inflate reported NII relative to cash earnings, a structural feature that reduces actual cash coverage of distributions. The $7.8M in unfunded portfolio commitments represent a secondary drain on liquidity in a wind-down scenario. Filing discusses the minimum asset coverage ratio and covenant amendments in MD&A but the specific covenant amendment terms are disclosed only in narrative, not separately XBRL-tagged.
