In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement (as defined below), the Reporting Entity purchased certain shares of the Company pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into as of May 24, 2024 between the Reporting Entity and a stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which the Reporting Entity, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, acquired all right, title and interest in and to such stockholders’ 6,092,331.406 shares (such shares, the “Purchased Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (“SLIC Common Stock”) that are the subject of this Schedule 13D for cash consideration per Purchased Share equal to the SLIC Per Share NAV (as defined below), to be determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement, plus any distributions payable in respect of the Purchased Shares for the period between signing and closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

Merger Agreement

 

On May 28, 2024, the Reporting Entity entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with the Company, Cobalt Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reporting Entity (“Merger Sub”), and MS Capital Partners Adviser Inc., a Delaware corporation and investment adviser to each of the Reporting Entity and the Company. The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Entity (the “First Merger”) and, immediately thereafter, the Company will merge with and into the Reporting Entity, with the Reporting Entity continuing as the surviving company (together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”).

 

 

The Merger Agreement further provides that, at the effective time of the First Merger, each share of SLIC Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, except for shares, if any, owned by the Company, the Reporting Entity or any of their respective consolidated subsidiaries and shares, if any, held by any person who is entitled to demand (and properly demands) appraisal of such shares, will be converted into the right to receive, in cash, the quotient of (i) the closing SLIC net asset value divided by (ii) the number of shares SLIC Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (inclusive of shares of the Company already held by the Reporting Entity) (the “SLIC Per Share NAV”).

 

The representations and warranties and covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement have been made only for purposes of such agreement and were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including qualification by confidential disclosures made for purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.

 

Fund of Funds Investment Agreement

 

In connection with the acquisition of the Purchased Shares, the Reporting Entity entered into a Fund of Funds Investment Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2024 (the “Fund of Funds Agreement”), pursuant which, among other things, the Reporting Entity agreed to “mirror vote” the Purchased Shares in the same proportion for and against any applicable shareholder proposals as all other holders of the Company’s shares.
