MCC reported quarterly results that were disappointing, but not totally surprising to us. We expected that MCC would report additional losses from its legacy second lien loan portfolio and that is exactly what occurred. Most importantly to our thesis is that the losses were well below our stress case scenario. Even in our stress case scenario, the Net Asset Value (NAV) per share of MCC is significantly higher than where the stock currently trades.
