Middle-Market Portfolio Investments Update
In addition to the LMM portfolio investment activity discussed above, Main Street completed middle-market portfolio investments, which represent debt investments in businesses that are generally larger in size than Main Street’s LMM portfolio companies, totaling $133.7 million during the second quarter of 2012. The second quarter investment activity resulted in 22 new middle-market companies at June 30, 2012, with such investments totaling $113 million with a weighted average effective yield of approximately 7.9%. The 22 new middle-market investments represent first lien secured debt investments and include companies operating in a variety of industries. In addition, during the second quarter of 2012 Main Street fully exited its investments in six middle-market portfolio companies that Main Street was invested in on March 31, 2012, which together with partial repayments on or exits of other debt securities in middle-market portfolio companies, represented a total decrease of $41.3 million in middle-market debt investments during the second quarter of 2012.
