And the other side of it.
The offsets in the same document — the things a summary that only listed the good news would have left out.
- Loss of BDC Status
- MRCC withdrew its election to be treated as a business development company, risking potential investment-related advantages associated with that status.
- Shareholder Value Dilution
- Following the merger, existing MRCC shareholders received 0.9402 shares of HRZN, possibly diluting value given market uncertainty.
