On October 9, 2018, Antero Midstream GP LP (“AMGP”) and Antero Midstream Partners LP (“AM”) announced that they entered into a definitive agreement for AMGP to acquire all of the outstanding AM common units. In connection with the transaction, AMGP will convert into a corporation and the combined entity will be renamed Antero Midstream Corporation (“New AM”). Under the terms of the agreement, AM unitholders will receive a combination of $3.415 in cash and 1.635 shares of New AM stock per AM unit owned.

 

  (4)

The Company believes that it is an affiliate of Buckeye Partners, L.P. (“BPL”), Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (“PAGP”), Plains AAP, L.P. (“PAGP-AAP”) and Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“PAA”).

 

  (5)

Fair valued security.

 

  (6)

The Company’s ability to sell this security is subject to certain legal or contractual restrictions. As of August 31, 2018, the aggregate value of restricted securities held by the Company was $256,634 (6.4% of total assets), which included $42,374 of Level 2 securities and $214,260 of Level 3 securities.

 

  (7)

On March 2, 2018, the Company purchased, in a private placement, Class C Units from BPL. The BPL Class C Units are similar in all respects to the common units except that BPL has elected to pay distributions in-kind (additional Class C Units) instead of cash. The Class C Units will convert on a one-for-one basis to BPL common units no later than March 2, 2020 and convert automatically on a one-for-one basis if BPL reduces its common unit distribution.

 

  (8)

On December 1, 2016, the Company purchased, in a private placement, Series A Convertible Preferred Units (“DM Convertible Preferred Units”) from Dominion Midstream Partners, LP (“DM”). The DM Convertible Preferred Units are senior to the common units in terms of liquidation preference and priority of distributions and pay a quarterly distribution of $0.3135 per unit for the first two years and thereafter will pay the higher of (a) $0.3135 per unit or (b) the distribution that the DM Convertible Preferred Units would receive on an as converted basis. For the first two years, the distribution may be paid, at DM’s option, in cash or in units. After two years, the distribution will be paid in cash. Holders of the DM Convertible Preferred Units may convert on a one-for-one basis to DM common units any time after December 1, 2018. On September 19, 2018, Dominion Energy (“D”) announced an offer to acquire all outstanding DM common units that are not already owned by D. In connection with this transaction, the DM Convertible Preferred Units are expected to be converted into DM common units at a conversion ratio that will be determined in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement of DM and that is expected to result in a value to the Company of 140% of the liquidation preference of $26.40 per unit. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019.

Table of Contents

From time to time, the Company’s ability to sell certain of its investments is subject to certain legal or contractual restrictions. For instance, private investments that are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), cannot be offered for public sale in a non-exempt transaction without first being registered. In other cases, certain of the Company’s investments have restrictions such as lock-up agreements that preclude the Company from offering these securities for public sale.

At August 31, 2018, the Company held the following restricted investments:

At August 31, 2018, the cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,339,401. At August 31, 2018, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

   $ 1,737,052  

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (89,398
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 1,647,654  
  

 

 

 

The cost basis for federal income tax purposes is estimated based on information available from the Company’s portfolio companies. In some cases, this information is very limited. Accordingly, the actual cost basis may prove higher or lower than the estimated cost basis included above.

As required by the Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 820”), the Company has performed an analysis of all assets and liabilities (other than deferred taxes) measured at fair value to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination.


Table of Contents

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad categories.

 

   

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets traded on a national exchange to which the Company has access at the date of measurement.

 

   

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.

 

   

Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The following table presents the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at August 31, 2018, and the Company presents these assets by security type and description on its Schedule of Investments. Note that the valuation levels below are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment.

The Company’s investment in Plains AAP, L.P. (“PAGP-AAP”) is exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into either Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (“PAGP”) shares or Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“PAA”) units at the Company’s option. The Company values its PAGP-AAP investment on an “as exchanged” basis based on the higher public market value of either PAGP or PAA. As of August 31, 2018, the Company’s PAGP-AAP investment is valued at PAA’s closing price. The Company categorizes its investment as a Level 2 security for fair value reporting purposes.

The Company did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at August 31, 2018. For the nine months ended August 31, 2018, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Table of Contents

As of August 31, 2018, the Company held no derivative instruments, and during the nine months ended August 31, 2018, the Company did not have any activity involving derivative instruments.

The Company’s investments are concentrated in the energy sector. The focus of the Company’s portfolio within the energy sector may present more risks than if the Company’s portfolio were broadly diversified across numerous sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy sector would have a larger impact on the Company than on an investment company that does not focus on the energy sector. The performance of securities in the energy sector may lag the performance of other industries or the broader market as a whole. Additionally, to the extent that the Company invests a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers, the Company may be more susceptible than a more widely diversified investment company to any single economic, political or regulatory occurrence. At August 31, 2018, the Company had the following investment concentrations:
