The Reporting Persons (as defined below) are filing this Schedule 13D, because the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be part of a “group” as that term is defined in Rule 13d-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Each of the Reporting Persons (as defined below) disclaims the existence of a “group” as between the Reporting Persons, and disclaims beneficial ownership, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, of any securities held directly by the other Reporting Persons. This report shall not be deemed to be an admission that any of the Reporting Persons are a “group” for purposes of Rule 13d-5.


ITEM 2.			IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
This Schedule 13D is being filed by the following persons (each a “Reporting Person”):
	i.	First Eagle Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FEH”), whose principal office address is 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105. FEH is the managing member of First Eagle Investment Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FEIM”);
	ii.	FEIM, whose principal office address is 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105. FEIM is the sole and managing member of First Eagle Alternative Credit, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FEAC” and, together with FEH and FEIM, the “FE Entities”);
	iii.	FEAC, the investment advisor to the Issuer, whose principal office address is 100 Federal Street, 31st Floor, Boston, MA 02110;
	iv.	William Montgomery Cook, who is a citizen of the United States of America and employee of FEAC, with a business address of 570 Lexington Avenue, 21^st Floor, New York, NY 10022;
	v.	Steven Krull, who is a citizen of the United States of America and employee of FEAC, with a business address of 227 W. Monroe St., Suite 3200, Chicago, IL 60606;
	vi.	Robert Hickey, who is a citizen of the United States of America and employee of FEAC, with a business address of 227 W. Monroe St., Suite 3200, Chicago, IL 60606;
	vii.	Michael Herzig, who is a citizen of the United States of America and employee of FEAC, with a business address of 570 Lexington Avenue, 21^st Floor, New York, NY 10022;

	x.	James Fellows, who is a citizen of the United States of America and employee of FEAC, with a business address of 227 W. Monroe St., Suite 3200, Chicago, IL 60606;


CUSIP No. 872438106		SCHEDULE 13D		Page 15 of 26

xi.

Sabrina Rusnak-Carlson, who is a citizen of the United States of America and employee of FEAC, with a business address of 100 Federal Street, 31st Floor, Boston, MA 02110

(together with the individuals listed in subsections (iv) – (x) hereof, the “FEAC Employees”); and

xii.

Mehdi Mahmud, who is a citizen of the United States of America and employee of FEIM, with a business address of 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 48^th Floor, New York, NY 10105. (“Mahmud”).

The FE Entities, FEAC Employees and Mahmud are sometimes individually referred to herein as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons.”

Each of the Reporting Persons is either principally engaged in, or employed by a firm that is principally engaged in, the business of investing in securities.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

On September 21, 2015, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) announced an agreement with FEIM to settle charges relating to the use of assets of the FEIM mutual funds (the “Mutual Funds”) to make payments to two financial intermediaries for distribution-related services outside of a written, approved Rule 12b-1 plan, and that were not paid by FEIM out of its own resources. The SEC alleged that the use of the Mutual Funds’ assets to pay for these distribution-related services rendered the Mutual Funds’ disclosures concerning payments for distribution-related services inaccurate. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, FEIM was censured and consented to the entry of an order to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and future violations of Section 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and Sections 12(b) and 34(b) and Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, as amended. FEIM agreed in the settlement to pay disgorgement of $24,907,354, prejudgment interest of $2,340,525 and a civil monetary penalty of $12,500,000. On March 29, 2019, FEIM sent a certification to the SEC that, on a best efforts basis, it had completed the process of disbursing the amounts payable to affected shareholders under the settlement and the third-party consultant provided a final accounting of such payments to the SEC. Any residual, undistributable payments were transferred to the United States Treasury on April 5, 2019 in accordance with the settlement, and the payment of all monetary penalties resulting from this matter is complete. The resolution of this matter did not have a material adverse effect on FEIM’s financial results or operations.

Except as set forth in the foregoing paragraph, during the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were or are subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

The information set forth in Item 4 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3, as applicable.

ITEM 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

On January 28, 2020, the Issuer’s board of directors unanimously approved a new investment management agreement (the “New Investment Management Agreement”) between the Issuer and FEAC. The New Investment Management Agreement is subject to stockholder approval (the “Stockholder Approval”).


CUSIP No. 872438106		SCHEDULE 13D		Page 16 of 26

In connection with the potential Stockholder Approval, the Issuer, FEIM, THLP Debt Partners, L.P. (“THLP Debt Partners”), FEAC Employees, Jeff Korvanda (“Korvanda”), Sam Tillinghast (“Tillinghast”), Brian Good (“Good”), Christian Champ (“Champ”), Howard Wu (“Wu”), and Brian Murphy (“Murphy” and together with the FEAC Employees, Korvanda, Tillinghast, Good, Champ, and Wu, the “Investors”)¹entered into that certain commitment letter agreement, dated March 3, 2020 (the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which (i) FEIM, THLP Debt Partners, and the Investors agreed to purchase from the Issuer, in aggregate, approximately $30 million of the Issuer’s common stock in a publicly registered issuance on or before April 21, 2020, and (ii)FEIM, THLP Debt Partners and the Investors committed to purchasesuch shares at the Issuer’s net asset value per share, in accordance with the 1940 Act, with FEIM’s share of the commitment approximately $20 million, and THLP Debt Partners and the Investors’ collective share approximately $10 million (subsections (i) and (ii), the “Commitment”). The Investors’ share of the Commitment will be funded by the funds held by U.S. Bank, N.A., in its capacity as escrow agent, pursuant to an escrow agreement, dated January 31, 2020, between U.S. Bank, N.A. andChristopher J. Flynn, in his capacity as the Investors’ representative (the “Investor Representative”) (such agreement, the “Escrow Agreement”).

Further, after the investments contemplated by the Commitment, THLP Debt Partners may deliver a notice to the Investor Representative (“Follow-on Notice”), instructing the Investor Representative to release any remaining portion of the escrow funds in order to acquire additional Shares until June 29, 2020. After delivery of the Follow-on Notice, THLP Debt Partners will simultaneously acquire additional Shares on the same terms as the Investors on a pro rata basis and in the same proportion as THLP Debt Partners and the Investors acquired their Shares in connection with the investments contemplated by the Commitment.

In connection with the potential Stockholder Approval, FEIM, THLP Debt Partners and the Investors entered into an amended and restated letter agreement, dated March 3, 2020 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, each of FEIM, THLP Debt Partners and the Investors agreed to (A) take the actions contemplated by the Commitment, (B) not dispose or otherwise transfer, convey or assign beneficial or economic ownership of the Shares it acquires pursuant to the Letter Agreement and the Commitment Letter prior to the earlier of (x) receipt of the Stockholder Approval, and (y) twelve (12) months from the date such Shares were purchased, as contemplated by the Letter Agreement and Commitment Letter, (C) vote the Shares held by it in favor of the New Investment Management Agreement, and (D) take such actions as are necessary to cause the Shares held by it to count towards a quorum for any matter requested by FEIM. The Letter Agreement terminates automatically without the need for any further action after the vote described in clause (C) of this paragraph.

As may be appropriate from time to time, each of the Reporting Persons, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreements referenced in this Item 4, may consider the feasibility and advisability of various alternative courses of action with respect to such investment, including, without limitation: (a) the acquisition or disposition by the Reporting Persons of Shares, including through derivative transactions which may include security-based swaps and short sales; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) changes in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer; (e) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) other material changes in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing any class of the Issuer’s securities to be

CUSIP No. 872438106		SCHEDULE 13D		Page 17 of 26

delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.
