There is no public trading market for shares (the "Shares") in our private markets investment solutions and we do not anticipate that there will be a public trading market for the Shares, so redemption of Shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of stockholders' Shares. The redemption programs impose limits on redemptions and may be modified or suspended at any time. As a result, Shares have only limited liquidity and may become illiquid.
ASIF seeks to invest primarily in first lien senior secured loans, second lien senior secured loans, subordinated secured and unsecured loans, subordinated debt, and other types of credit instruments made to or issued by U.S. middle-market companies. ASIF generally defines U.S. middle-market companies as companies with annual net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") between $10 million and $250 million.
