Explanatory Note

 

Item 1.

Security and Issuer

 

The securities to which this statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates are the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Palmer Square Capital BDC Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”), with principal executive offices at 1900 Shawnee Mission Parkway, Suite 315, Mission Woods, Kansas 66205.

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background

 

This statement is being filed by (i) Excelsior Holdings D2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Excelsior”), and (ii) Excelsior Holdings D LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings LLC” and together with Excelsior, the “Reporting Persons”). Holdings LLC is the managing member of Excelsior. As managing member of Excelsior, Holdings LLC exercises dispositive and voting power over the shares beneficially owned by Excelsior. 

 

The principal business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 6000 France Ave. S., Suite 550, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55435. The principal business of Excelsior is investing in securities. The principal business of Holdings LLC is investing in securities and serving as managing member of Excelsior.

 

During the last five years, neither of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of its executive officers or managers, members, or any other persons controlling them has: (1) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (2) been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is 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 Common Stock herein reported as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was acquired at an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000, through private placement transactions (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) between the Issuer and Excelsior. The funds used in such a purchase were from available capital.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

Excelsior entered into the Subscription Agreement solely for investment purposes and to provide working capital to the Issuer. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Excelsior is committed to acquire additional shares of Common Stock as capital is drawn by the Issuer in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement.

 

Excelsior may make additional purchases of the Issuer’s securities in private transactions or otherwise depending on the Issuer’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Issuer’s securities, general economic conditions, money and stock market conditions and other future developments. Excelsior reserves the right to dispose of some or all of its shares of Common Stock in private transactions or otherwise.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Based on the most recent information available to the Reporting Persons, there were 11,383,064.4287 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 17, 2020. As of such date, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 2,613,051.4906 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 22.96% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Because Holdings LLC is the managing member of Excelsior and, as such, has the authority to exercise voting or dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by Excelsior, each Reporting Person could be deemed to share the power to vote and dispose or direct the disposition of such shares of Common Stock.

 

All of the shares of Common Stock reported herein were acquired in the Private Placement. In connection with the Private Placement, on January 23, 2020, Excelsior purchased 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $20.00 per share, and on March 17, 2020 Excelsior purchased 1,363,051.4906 shares of Common Stock at a price of $18.3412 per share.
