0001504619false424B2Net assets attributable to common shares equal average net assets of September 30, 2022, plus net proceeds anticipated from this offering but excluding the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.The contractual management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of our average adjusted gross assets on September 30, 2022.As of September 30, 2022, we had $168.8 million in borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility, $97.0 million outstanding under our 2023 Notes, $185.0 million outstanding under our 2026 Notes and $228.0 million outstanding under the 2031 Asset-Backed Debt. We may use proceeds of this offering to repay outstanding obligations under our existing financing arrangements or other indebtedness. After completing this offering, we may continue to borrow under our existing financing arrangements to finance our investment objectives. We have estimated the annual interest expense on borrowed funds and we caution you that our actual interest expense in the future will depend on prevailing interest rates and our rate of borrowing, which may be substantially higher than the amount provided in this table.Our Investment Adviser has agreed to pay all of the underwriting discounts and commissions (sales load), which is not reflected in the above table. We are not obligated to repay the sales load paid by our Investment Adviser.The percentage reflects estimated offering expenses payable by us of approximately $250,000 and is based on the offering of 4,250,000 shares in this offering at the offering price of $11.10 per share.The portion of incentive fees paid with respect to net investment income and capital gains, if any, is based on actual amounts incurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Such incentive fees are based on performance, vary from period to period and are not paid unless our performance exceeds specified thresholds. Incentive fees in respect of net investment income do not include incentive fees in respect of net capital gains. The portion of our incentive fee paid in respect of net capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Management Agreement, as of the termination date) and equals 20.0% of our realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. For purposes of this chart and our Consolidated Financial Statements, our incentive fees on capital gains are calculated in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As we cannot predict our future net investment income or capital gains, the incentive fee paid in future periods, if any, may be substantially different than the fee earned during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. For more detailed information about the incentive fee, please see “Item 1. Business-Investment Management Agreement” and “Item 1. Business-Investment Advisory Fees” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.Our stockholders indirectly bear 87.5% of the expenses of our investment in PSSL. No management fee is charged by PennantPark Investment Advisers in connection with PSSL. PSSL pays the Administrator an annual fee of 0.25% of average gross assets under management. For this chart, PSSL fees and operating expenses are based on our share of the actual fees and operating expenses of PSSL for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Expenses for PSSL may fluctuate over time and may be substantially higher or lower in the future. Our stockholders indirectly bear 23.08% of the expenses of our investment in PTSF. A management fee equal to 0.30% per annum of the gross assets of PTSF and its subsidiaries is charged by PennantPark Investment Advisers in connection with PTSF (which is waived by PennantPark Investment Advisers). When applicable, fees and operating expenses estimates would be based on historic fees and operating expenses for acquired funds. For PTSF, which has a limited operating history, fees and operating expenses are estimates based on expected fees and operating expenses of PTSF for the applicable fiscal quarter, annualized for a full year. Expenses for PTSF may fluctuate over time and may be substantially higher or lower in the future.“Other expenses” includes our general and administrative expenses, professional fees, directors’ fees, insurance costs, taxes and the expenses of the Investment Adviser reimbursable under our Investment Management Agreement and of the Administrator reimbursable under our Administration Agreement. Such expenses are estimated for the current fiscal year based on actual other expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.“Total estimated annual expenses” as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares, to the extent we borrow money to make investments, are higher than the total estimated annual expenses percentage would be for a company that is not leveraged. We may borrow money to leverage our net assets and increase our total assets. The SEC requires that the “total estimated annual expenses” percentage be calculated as a percentage of average net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness) rather than total assets, which include assets that have been funded with borrowed money. If the “Total estimated annual expenses” percentage were calculated instead as a percentage of total assets, our “Total estimated annual expenses” would be 7.44% of average total assets.Calculated as of the respective high or low closing sales price less NAV per share, divided by the quarter-end NAV per share.NAV per share is determined as of the last day in the relevant quarter and therefore may not reflect the NAV per share on the date of the high and low sales prices. The NAVs shown are based on outstanding shares at the end of each period. 0001504619 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 2022-11-30 2022-11-30 0001504619 2023-01-01 2023-01-23 0001504619 2022-10-01 2022-12-31 0001504619 2022-07-01 2022-09-30 0001504619 2022-04-01 2022-06-30 0001504619 2022-01-01 2022-03-31 0001504619 2021-10-01 2021-12-31 0001504619 2021-07-01 2021-09-30 0001504619 2021-04-01 2021-06-30 0001504619 2021-01-01 2021-03-31 0001504619 2020-10-01 2020-12-31 0001504619 2022-09-30 2022-09-30 0001504619 2022-06-30 2022-06-30 0001504619 cik0001504619:RiskFactorsMember 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 cik0001504619:CommonStockMember 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 cik0001504619:PreferredStockMember 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 cik0001504619:WarrantsMember 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 cik0001504619:SubscriptionRightsMember 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 cik0001504619:ActualMember cik0001504619:CreditFacilityMember 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 cik0001504619:ActualMember cik0001504619:TwoThousandsAndTwentyThreeNotesPayableMember 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 cik0001504619:ActualMember cik0001504619:TwoThousandsAndTwentySixNotesPayableMember 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 cik0001504619:ActualMember cik0001504619:TwoThousandsAndThirtyOneAssetBackedDebtMember 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 cik0001504619:AssumesNoReturnFromNetRealizedCapitalGainsMember 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 cik0001504619:AssumesReturnOnlyFromRealizedCapitalGainsMember 2023-01-24 2023-01-24 0001504619 cik0001504619:ProformaMember cik0001504619:CreditFacilityMember 2022-09-30 2022-09-30 0001504619 cik0001504619:ProformaMember cik0001504619:TwoThousandsAndTwentyThreeNotesPayableMember 2022-09-30 2022-09-30 0001504619 cik0001504619:ProformaMember cik0001504619:TwoThousandsAndTwentySixNotesPayableMember 2022-09-30 2022-09-30 0001504619 cik0001504619:ProformaMember cik0001504619:TwoThousandsAndThirtyOneAssetBackedDebtMember 2022-09-30 2022-09-30 xbrli:pure iso4217:USD xbrli:shares iso4217:USD xbrli:shares

General Business of PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd.
PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. is a BDC whose objectives are to generate both current income and capital appreciation while seeking to preserve capital by investing primarily in Floating Rate Loans, and other investments made to U.S. middle-market companies.
We believe that Floating Rate Loans to U.S. middle-market companies offer attractive risk-reward to investors due to a limited amount of capital available for such companies. We use the term “middle-market” to refer to companies with annual revenues between $50 million and $1 billion. Our investments are typically rated below investment grade. Securities rated below investment grade are often referred to as “leveraged loans,” “high yield” securities or “junk bonds” and are often higher risk compared to debt instruments that are rated above investment grade and have speculative characteristics. However, when compared to junk bonds and other
non-investment
grade debt, senior secured Floating Rate Loans typically have more robust capital-preserving qualities, such as historically lower default rates than junk bonds, represent the senior source of capital in a borrower’s capital
 
S-1

structure and often have certain of the borrower’s assets pledged as collateral. Our debt investments may generally range in maturity from three to ten years and are made to U.S. and, to a limited extent,
non-U.S.
corporations, partnerships and other business entities which operate in various industries and geographical regions.
Under normal market conditions, we generally expect that at least 80% of the value of our managed assets, which means our net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in Floating Rate Loans and other investments bearing a variable-rate of interest. We generally expect that first lien secured debt will represent at least 65% of our overall portfolio. We also generally expect to invest up to 35% of our overall portfolio opportunistically in other types of investments, including second lien secured debt and subordinated debt and, to a lesser extent, equity investments. We seek to create a diversified portfolio by generally targeting an investment size between $5 million and $30 million, on average, although we expect that this investment size will vary proportionately with the size of our capital base.
Our investment activity depends on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives.
Organization and Structure of PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd.
PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd., a Maryland corporation organized in October 2010, is a
closed-end,
externally managed,
non-diversified
investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, for federal income tax purposes we have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code.
We have entered into an investment advisory management agreement, or the Investment Management Agreement, with the Investment Adviser, an external adviser that manages our
day-to-day
operation. Under our Investment Management Agreement, we have agreed to pay our Investment Adviser an annual base management fee based on our average adjusted gross assets as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. We have also entered into an administration agreement with the Administrator, or the Administration Agreement. Under our Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse the Administrator for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under our Administration Agreement, including rent and our allocable portion of the costs of compensation and related expenses of our Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Counsel and their respective staffs. Our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent of us, provides overall supervision of our activities, and the Investment Adviser supervises our
day-to-day
activities.
Funding I, our wholly owned subsidiary and a special purpose entity, was organized in Delaware as a limited liability company in May 2011. On August 12, 2021, Funding I, as borrower, entered into the Credit Facility, which provides the ability for Funding I to borrow up to $366 million. The Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets of Funding I.
In May 2017, we and a subsidiary of Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR), Trinity Universal Insurance Company, formed PSSL, an unconsolidated joint venture. PSSL invests primarily in middle-market and other corporate debt securities consistent with our strategy. PSSL was formed as a Delaware limited liability company.

Our Investment Adviser and Administrator
We utilize the investing experience and contacts of PennantPark Investment Advisers in developing what we believe is an attractive and diversified portfolio. The senior investment professionals of the Investment Adviser have worked together for many years and average over 25 years of experience in the senior lending, mezzanine lending, leveraged finance, distressed debt and private equity businesses. In addition, our senior investment professionals have been involved in originating, structuring, negotiating, managing and monitoring investments in each of these businesses across changing economic and market cycles. We believe this experience and history have resulted in a strong reputation with financial sponsors, management teams, investment bankers, attorneys and accountants, which provides us with access to substantial investment opportunities across the capital markets. Our Investment Adviser has a rigorous investment approach, which is based upon intensive financial analysis with a focus on capital preservation, diversification and active management. Since our Investment Adviser’s inception in 2007, it has invested through its managed funds $17.1 billion in 628 companies with more than 200 different financial sponsors through its managed funds, which includes investments by the Company totaling $5.0 billion in 451 companies as of September 30, 2022.
Our Administrator has experienced professionals with substantial backgrounds in finance and administration of registered investment companies. In addition to furnishing us with clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services, the Administrator also oversees our financial records as well as the preparation of our reports to stockholders and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. The Administrator assists in the determination and publication of our net asset value, or NAV, oversees the preparation and filing of our tax returns, and monitors the payment of our expenses as well as the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. Furthermore, our Administrator offers, on our behalf, significant managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to offer such assistance. See “

Recent Developments
On January 23, 2023, we announced certain preliminary estimates of our financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
 
   
GAAP net asset value per share is estimated to be between $11.25 and $11.33 per share as of December 31, 2022. This compares to GAAP net asset value per share of $11.62 as of September 30, 2022.
 
   
Adjusted net asset value per share is estimated to be between $11.17 and $11.25 per share as of December 31, 2022. This compares to adjusted net asset value per share of $11.59 as of September 30, 2022. Adjusted net asset value per share is a
non-GAAP
financial measure. We believe that this
 
S-3

 
number provides useful information to investors and management because it reflects our financial performance, excluding the impact of the $3.9 million, or $0.09 per share, and $1.5 million, or $0.03 per share, unrealized loss on the Credit Facility and the 2023 Notes, as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
   
Net investment income is estimated to be between $0.29 and $0.31 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. This compares to net investment income of $0.29 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
 
   
Three loans were on
non-accrual
status as of December 31, 2022.
 
   
As of December 31, 2022, at cost, we had approximately $199.7 million of borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility, approximately $76.2 million in aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes outstanding, $185.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes outstanding and $228.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2031 Asset-Backed Debt.
 
   
As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $52.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.
These estimates are subject to the completion of our financial closing procedures and are not a comprehensive statement of our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Final results may differ materially from these estimates as a result of the completion of our financial closing procedures, as well as any subsequent events, including the discovery of information affecting fair values of our portfolio investments as of December 31, 2022, arising between the date hereof and the completion of our financial statements and the filing of our Form
10-Q
for the quarter then ended.
The preliminary financial estimates provided herein have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of our management. RSM US LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the accompanying preliminary financial data. Accordingly, RSM US LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

Use of Proceeds
We estimate that the net proceeds we receive from this offering will be approximately $47.3 million (or approximately $54.5 million if the underwriters fully exercise their option to purchase additional shares), in each case based on proceeds to us of approximately $11.20 per share, representing a public offering price of $11.10 per share, including the additional supplemental payment of approximately $0.0998 per share that the Investment Adviser has agreed to pay the underwriters which reflects the difference between the public offering price and the proceeds per share received by us in this offering, and also including estimated offering expenses of $250,000 payable by us, but excluding the underwriting commissions of $424,150 (or $487,773 if the underwriters fully exercise their option to purchase additional shares). The Investment Adviser has agreed to pay all of the underwriting discounts and commissions in connection with this offering.
 
 
We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering to reduce outstanding obligations under our existing indebtedness, to invest in new or existing portfolio companies, to capitalize a subsidiary or joint venture or for other general corporate or strategic purposes.
 
 
See “Use of Proceeds” for more information.
 
Investment Adviser payment of Sales Load and Additional Supplemental Payment
Our Investment Adviser has agreed to pay all of the sales load (underwriting discounts and commissions) in the amount of
 
S-5

 
approximately $1.4 million, or $0.3330 per share (or approximately $1.6 million, or $0.3330 per share if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is fully exercised), in connection with the shares of common stock offered by us in this offering. We are not obligated to repay the sales load paid by our Investment Adviser. Our Investment Adviser has also agreed to pay the underwriters an additional supplemental payment of $424,150, or $0.0998 per share (or $487,773, or $0.0998 per share if the option to purchase additional shares is fully exercised), which reflects the difference between the offering price and the proceeds per share received by us in this offering. We are not obligated to repay the additional supplemental payment made by our Investment Adviser.
 
Trading at a Discount
Shares of
closed-end
investment companies, including BDCs, frequently trade at a discount to their NAV. The risk that our shares may trade at a discount to our NAV is separate and distinct from the risk that our NAV per share may decline. We cannot predict whether our shares will trade above, at or below NAV.
 
Distributions on Common Stock
The timing and amount of our monthly distributions to stockholders, if any, are determined by our board of directors. While we intend to make distributions on a monthly basis to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution, we may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of our distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage requirements applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act. If we do not distribute a certain percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including the possible loss of our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions.
 
Taxation
We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually to maintain our election to be treated, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain our RIC tax election, we must, among other requirements, meet certain annual
source-of-income
and quarterly asset diversification requirements. We also must annually distribute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our stockholders out of the assets legally available for distribution of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of the sum of our net ordinary income and realized net short-term capital gains in excess of realized net long-term capital losses, or investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid.
 
Lock Up Arrangements
We have agreed, with exceptions, not to sell or transfer any shares for 60 days after the date of this prospectus supplement without first obtaining the written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. In addition, our executive officers and directors, PennantPark Investment Advisers, and the Administrator have agreed to certain restrictions on sales of our common stock for a period of 60 days from the date of this prospectus supplement. See “Underwriting – No Sales of Similar Securities.”

Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K,
which is incorporated by reference to this prospectus supplement, and in any free writing prospectuses we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, and under similar headings in the documents that are filed with the SEC on or after the date hereof and are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

FEES AND EXPENSES

The following table will assist you in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in shares of our common stock will bear directly or indirectly. However, we caution you that some of the percentages indicated in the table below are estimates and may vary from actual results. The following table should not be considered a representation of our future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than shown. Except where the context suggests otherwise, whenever this prospectus supplement contains a reference to fees or expenses paid by “you” or “us” or that “we” will pay, stockholders will indirectly bear such fees or expenses as investors in us.

Our Investment Adviser has agreed to pay all of the underwriting discounts and commissions (sales load), which is not reflected in the above table. We are not obligated to repay the sales load paid by our Investment Adviser.
(2)
The percentage reflects estimated offering expenses payable by us of approximately $250,000 and is based on the offering of 4,250,000 shares in this offering at the offering price of $11.10 per share.
(3)
Net assets attributable to common shares equal average net assets of September 30, 2022, plus net proceeds anticipated from this offering but excluding the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
(4)
The contractual management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of our average adjusted gross assets on September 30, 2022.
(5)
The portion of incentive fees paid with respect to net investment income and capital gains, if any, is based on actual amounts incurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Such incentive fees are based on performance, vary from period to period and are not paid unless our performance exceeds specified thresholds. Incentive fees in respect of net investment income do not include incentive fees in respect of net capital gains. The portion of our incentive fee paid in respect of net capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Management Agreement, as of the termination date) and equals 20.0% of our realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gain incentive fees. For purposes of this chart and our Consolidated Financial Statements, our incentive fees on capital gains are calculated in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As we cannot predict our future net investment income or capital gains, the incentive fee paid in future periods, if any, may be substantially different than the fee earned during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. For more detailed information about the incentive fee, please see “Item 1. Business-Investment Management Agreement” and “Item 1. Business-Investment Advisory Fees” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(6)
As of September 30, 2022, we had $168.8 million in borrowings outstanding under our Credit Facility, $97.0 million outstanding under our 2023 Notes, $185.0 million outstanding under our 2026 Notes and
 
S-

$228.0 million outstanding under the 2031 Asset-Backed Debt. We may use proceeds of this offering to repay outstanding obligations under our existing financing arrangements or other indebtedness. After completing this offering, we may continue to borrow under our existing financing arrangements to finance our investment objectives. We have estimated the annual interest expense on borrowed funds and we caution you that our actual interest expense in the future will depend on prevailing interest rates and our rate of borrowing, which may be substantially higher than the amount provided in this table.
(7)
Our stockholders indirectly bear 87.5% of the expenses of our investment in PSSL. No management fee is charged by PennantPark Investment Advisers in connection with PSSL. PSSL pays the Administrator an annual fee of 0.25% of average gross assets under management. For this chart, PSSL fees and operating expenses are based on our share of the actual fees and operating expenses of PSSL for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Expenses for PSSL may fluctuate over time and may be substantially higher or lower in the future.
Our stockholders indirectly bear 23.08% of the expenses of our investment in PTSF. A management fee equal to 0.30% per annum of the gross assets of PTSF and its subsidiaries is charged by PennantPark Investment Advisers in connection with PTSF (which is waived by PennantPark Investment Advisers). When applicable, fees and operating expenses estimates would be based on historic fees and operating expenses for acquired funds. For PTSF, which has a limited operating history, fees and operating expenses are estimates based on expected fees and operating expenses of PTSF for the applicable fiscal quarter, annualized for a full year. Expenses for PTSF may fluctuate over time and may be substantially higher or lower in the future.
(8)
“Other expenses” includes our general and administrative expenses, professional fees, directors’ fees, insurance costs, taxes and the expenses of the Investment Adviser reimbursable under our Investment Management Agreement and of the Administrator reimbursable under our Administration Agreement. Such expenses are estimated for the current fiscal year based on actual other expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
(9)
“Total estimated annual expenses” as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares, to the extent we borrow money to make investments, are higher than the total estimated annual expenses percentage would be for a company that is not leveraged. We may borrow money to leverage our net assets and increase our total assets. The SEC requires that the “total estimated annual expenses” percentage be calculated as a percentage of average net assets (defined as total assets less indebtedness) rather than total assets, which include assets that have been funded with borrowed money. If the “Total estimated annual expenses” percentage were calculated instead as a percentage of total assets, our “Total estimated annual expenses” would be 7.44% of average total assets.
Example
The following example illustrates the projected dollar amount of total cumulative expenses that you would pay on a $1,000 hypothetical investment in common shares, assuming (1) no sales load (underwriting discounts and commissions) (see note 1 above) and offering expenses totaling 0.53%, (2) total net estimated annual expenses of 16.14% of average net assets attributable to common shares as set forth in the table above (other than performance-based incentive fees) and (3) a 5.0% annual return.

Assuming a 5% annual return (assumes return only from realized capital gains and thus subject to the capital gains incentive fee)
   $ 165      $ 430      $ 634      $ 963  
This example and the expenses in the table above should not be considered a representation of our future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those assumed. The table above is provided to assist you in understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in our common stock will bear directly or
 
S-9

indirectly. While the example assumes, as required by the SEC, a 5.0% annual return, our performance will vary and may result in a return greater or less than 5.0%. If we were to earn an annual return equal to or less than 5.0% from net investment income, the incentive fee under our Investment Management Agreement would not be earned or payable. If our returns on our investments, including the realized capital gains, result in an incentive fee, then our expenses would be higher. The example assumes that all distributions are reinvested at NAV. See “Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities-Distributions” in our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K
for more information.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our shares of our common stock may be speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K
as well as other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus we have authorized for use in connection with this offering and under similar headings in the documents that we file with the SEC on or after the date of this prospectus supplement and are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
The risks described in these documents are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. In such case, our NAV and the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, including the documents we incorporate by reference herein, and the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus, including the documents we incorporate by reference therein, contain statements that constitute forward-looking statements, which relate to us and our consolidated subsidiaries regarding future events or our future performance or future financial condition. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our Company, our industry, our beliefs and our assumptions. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, including the documents we incorporate by reference herein, and the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus, including the documents we incorporate by reference therein, involve risks and uncertainties, including statements as to:
 
   
our future operating results;
 
   
our business prospects and the prospects of our prospective portfolio companies, including as a result of the current pandemic caused by
COVID-19
or any future worsening thereof;
 
   
changes in political, economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment or conditions affecting the financial and capital markets that could result in changes to the value of our assets, including changes from the impact of the current
COVID-19
pandemic or any future worsening thereof;
 
   
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its impact on the industries in which we invest;
 
   
the impact of a protracted decline in the liquidity of credit markets on our business;
 
   
the impact of investments that we expect to make;
 
   
the impact of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates on our business and our portfolio companies;
 
   
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
 
   
the valuation of our investments in portfolio companies, particularly those having no liquid trading market;
 
   
the ability of our prospective portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
 
   
our expected financings and investments and ability to fund capital commitments to PSSL;
 
   
the adequacy of our cash resources and working capital;

the impact of future legislation and regulation on our business and our portfolio companies; and
 
   
the impact of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia, United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union (commonly known as “Brexit”) and other world economic and political issues.
We use words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “seeks,” “plans,” “estimates” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue influence on the forward-looking statements as our actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including the factors in “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K,
in the documents incorporated by reference herein, and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompany prospectus.

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new loans and investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this prospectus supplement, including the documents we incorporate by reference herein, and the accompanying prospectus and any free writing prospectus, including the documents we incorporate by reference therein, should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. We have based the forward-looking statements included in this prospectus supplement on information available to us on the date of this prospectus supplement, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we in the future may file with SEC including Annual Reports on Form
10-K,
Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q
and Current Reports on Form
8-K.
You should understand that, under Sections 27A(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, do not apply to forward-looking statements made in connection with any offering of securities pursuant to this prospectus supplement or in periodic reports we file under the Exchange Act.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that net proceeds we will receive from the sale of 4,250,000 shares of our common stock in this offering will be approximately $47.3 million (or approximately $54.5 million if the underwriters fully exercise their option to purchase additional shares), in each case based on proceeds to us of approximately $11.20 per shares, representing a public offering price of $11.10 per share, including the additional supplemental payment of approximately $0.10 per share that the Investment Adviser has agreed to pay to the underwriters which reflects the difference between the public offering price and the proceeds per share received by us in this offering, and also including estimated offering expenses of approximately $250,000 payable by us, but excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $1.4 million (or approximately $1.6 million if the underwriters fully exercise their option to purchase additional shares). Our Investment Adviser has agreed to pay all of the sales load (underwriting discounts and commissions) in connection with this offering. We are not obligated to repay the additional supplemental payment or sales load paid by our Investment Adviser.
We expect to use the net proceeds from selling securities pursuant to this prospectus supplement to reduce outstanding obligations under our existing indebtedness, to invest in new or existing portfolio companies, to capitalize a subsidiary or joint venture or for other general corporate or strategic purposes. Affiliates of certain of the underwriters serve as lenders under our Credit Facility and thereby may receive proceeds from this offering that are used to reduce our outstanding obligations under our Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2022, Funding I had approximately $168.8 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate at a spread above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (or an alternative risk-free floating interest rate index) of 225 basis points. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of August 2026 and a revolving period that ends in August 2024. At September 30, 2022, the weighted average interest rate of the Credit Facility was 4.7%, exclusive of the fee on undrawn commitments. The Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets of Funding I and we own 100% of the equity interest in Funding I and treat the indebtedness of Funding I as our leverage.
We may invest the net proceeds from selling securities pursuant to this prospectus supplement in new or existing portfolio companies, and such investments may take up to a year from the closing of this offering, in part because privately negotiated investments in illiquid securities or private middle-market companies require substantial due diligence and structuring. During this period, we may use the net proceeds from this offering to reduce then-outstanding indebtedness or to invest such proceeds in cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. We expect to earn yields on such investments, if any, that are lower than the interest income that we anticipate receiving in respect of investments in
non-temporary
investments. As a result, any distributions we make during this investment period may be lower than the distributions that we would expect to pay when such proceeds are fully invested in
non-temporary
investments. See “Business—Regulation—Temporary Investments” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form
10-
K for more information.

Shares of BDCs may trade at a market price both above and below the NAV that is attributable to those shares. Our shares have traded above and below our NAV. Our shares closed on the NYSE at $9.60 and $11.48 on September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Our NAV per share was $11.62 and $12.21 as of the same dates. The possibility that our shares of common stock will trade at a discount from NAV or at a premium that is unsustainable over the long term is separate and distinct from the risk that our NAV will decrease. It is not possible to predict whether our shares will trade at, above or below our NAV in the future. As of September 30, 2022, we had 37 stockholders of record.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the shares included in this offering are subject to certain conditions precedent, including the absence of any material adverse change in our business and the receipt of certain certificates, opinions and letters from us, our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm. The underwriters are committed to purchase all shares included in this offering, other than those shares covered by the option to purchase additional shares described below, if they purchase any of the shares. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.
We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and breaches of representations and warranties set forth in the underwriting agreement, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
Commissions and Discounts
The underwriters have advised us that they propose initially to offer the shares to the public at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain other Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) members at that price less a concession not in excess of $0.23 per share. After the public offering, the public offering price, concession and discount may be changed. No such change shall change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement.
The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions we will pay to the underwriters assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase up to an additional 637,500 shares.

(1)
Our Investment Adviser has agreed to pay all of the underwriting commissions to the underwriters of approximately $1.4 million, or $0.3330 per share (or approximately $1.6 million, or $0.3330 per share if the option to purchase additional shares is fully exercised) in connection with this offering, which amount is not reflected in the above table. All other expenses of the offering will be borne by us. We are not obligated to repay the sales load paid by our Investment Adviser.
(2)
Our Investment Adviser has agreed to pay the underwriters an additional supplemental payment of $424,150, or $0.0998 per share (or $487,773, or $0.0998 per share if the option to purchase additional shares is fully exercised), which reflects the difference between the offering price and the proceeds per share received by us in this offering. We are not obligated to repay the additional supplemental payment paid by our Investment Adviser.
Option to Purchase Additional Shares
We have granted an option to the underwriters to purchase up to 637,500 additional shares at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. The underwriters may exercise this option for 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement. If the underwriters exercise this option, each will be obligated, subject to conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, to purchase the additional shares approximately proportionate to that underwriter’s initial purchase commitment.
No Sales of Similar Securities
We have agreed, with exceptions, not to sell or transfer any shares for 60 days after the date of this prospectus supplement without first obtaining the written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC.
Our executive officers and directors, PennantPark Investment Advisers, and the Administrator have agreed, with exceptions, not to sell or transfer any common stock for 60 days after the date of this prospectus supplement without first obtaining the written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. Specifically, we and these other individuals and entities have agreed not to directly or indirectly:
 
 
 
offer, pledge, sell or contract to sell any common stock;
 
 
 
sell any option or contract to purchase any common stock;
 
 
 
purchase any option or contract to sell any common stock;
 
 
 
grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of any common stock;
 
 
 
lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any common stock;
 
 
 
request or demand that we file a registration statement related to the common stock; or
 
 
 
enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of any common stock whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.
This lockup provision applies to common stock and to securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with common stock. It also applies to common stock owned now or acquired later by the person executing the agreement or for which the person executing the agreement later acquires the power of disposition.
New York Stock Exchange and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE and the TASE under the symbol “PFLT.”
Short Positions
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales and purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short
 
S-1
8

sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the option granted to them. “Naked” short sales are sales in excess of the option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the NYSE, in the
over-the-counter
market or otherwise.
Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
Passive Market Making
In connection with this offering, underwriters may engage in passive market making transactions in the common stock on the NYSE in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of common stock and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may cause the price of our common stock to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of those transactions. The underwriters are not required to engage in passive market making and may end passive market making activities at any time.
Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Shares
The underwriters may make prospectuses available in electronic (PDF) format. A prospectus in electronic (PDF) format may be made available on a web site maintained by the underwriters, and the underwriters may distribute such prospectuses electronically. The underwriters may allocate a limited number of shares for sale to their online brokerage customers.
Other Relationships
The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making and brokerage and other financing and
non-financial
activities and services. The underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided in the past to the Company and may provide from time to time in the future in the ordinary course of their business certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services to us for which they have received or will be entitled to receive separate fees and expenses. In particular, the underwriters or their affiliates may execute transactions with or on behalf of the Company. In addition, the underwriters or their affiliates may act as arrangers, underwriters or placement agents for companies whose securities are sold to us.
 
S-1

The underwriters or their affiliates may also trade in our securities, securities of our portfolio companies or other financial instruments related thereto for their own accounts or for the account of others and may extend loans or financing directly or through derivative transactions to us or any of the portfolio companies.
We may purchase securities of third parties from the underwriters or their affiliates after the offering. However, we have not entered into any agreement or arrangement regarding the acquisition of any such securities, and we may not purchase any such securities. We would only purchase any such securities if, among other things, we identified securities that satisfied our investment needs and completed our due diligence review of such securities.
After the date of this prospectus supplement, the underwriters and their affiliates may from time to time obtain information regarding specific portfolio companies or us that may not be available to the general public.
Any such information is obtained by the underwriters and their affiliates in the ordinary course of their business and not in connection with the offering of the common stock. In addition, after the offering period for the sale of our common stock, the underwriters or their affiliates may develop analyses or opinions related to PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. or our portfolio companies and buy or sell interests in one or more of our portfolio companies on behalf of their proprietary or client accounts and may engage in competitive activities. There is no obligation on behalf of these parties to disclose their respective analyses, opinions or purchase and sale activities regarding any portfolio company or regarding PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. to our stockholders.
In the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
Affiliates of certain of the underwriters serve as agents and/or lenders under our Credit Facility and may serve as lenders under any future credit facilities. Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates were underwriters in connection with our initial public offering and our subsequent common stock offerings and debt offerings for which they received customary fees.
Proceeds of this offering may be used to repay indebtedness under the Credit Facility. Accordingly, affiliates of certain of the underwriters may receive more than 5% of the proceeds of the offering to the extent such proceeds are used to repay amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility.

LLC, 1585 Broadway, New York, NY 10036; UBS Securities LLC, 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10019; Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, 200 West Street, New York, NY 10282; J.P.

PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. is a
closed-end,
externally managed,
non-diversified
investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Our investment objectives are to generate both current income and capital appreciation while seeking to preserve capital by investing primarily in loans bearing a variable-rate of interest, or Floating Rate Loans, and other investments made to U.S. middle-market companies. Floating Rate Loans or variable-rate investments pay interest at variable-rates, which are determined periodically, on the basis of a floating base lending rate such as the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, with or without a floor, plus a fixed spread. We can offer no assurances that we will achieve our investment objectives.
We are managed by PennantPark Investment Advisers, LLC. PennantPark Investment Administration, LLC provides the administrative services necessary for us to operate.
We may offer, from time to time, in one or more offerings or series, together or separately, up to $500,000,000 of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants representing rights to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities, subscription rights or debt securities, which we refer to, collectively, as the “securities.” We may sell our securities through underwriters or dealers,

The identities of such underwriters, dealers, market makers or agents, as the case may be, will be described in one or more supplements to this prospectus. The securities may be offered at prices and on terms to be described in one or more supplements to this prospectus. In the event we offer common stock, the offering price per share of our common stock exclusive of any underwriting commissions or discounts will not be less than the net asset value, or NAV, per share of our common stock at the time we make the offering except (1) in connection with a rights offering to our existing stockholders, (2) with the consent of the majority of our common stockholders and approval of our board of directors, or (3) under such circumstances as the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, may permit. See “” on page 10 and “” on page 12 of this prospectus for more information.

General Business of PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd.
PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. is a BDC whose objectives are to generate both current income and capital appreciation while seeking to preserve capital by investing primarily in Floating Rate Loans, and other investments made to U.S. middle-market companies.
We believe that Floating Rate Loans to U.S. middle-market companies offer attractive risk-reward to investors due to a limited amount of capital available for such companies. We use the term “middle-market” to refer to companies with annual revenues between $50 million and $1 billion. Our investments are typically rated below investment grade. Securities rated below investment grade are often referred to as “leveraged loans,” “high yield” securities or “junk bonds” and are often higher risk compared to debt instruments that are rated above investment grade and have speculative characteristics. However, when compared to junk bonds and other
non-investment
grade debt, senior secured Floating Rate Loans typically have more robust capital-preserving qualities, such as historically lower default rates than junk bonds, represent the senior source of capital in a borrower’s capital structure and often have certain of the borrower’s assets pledged as collateral. Our debt
 
2

investments may generally range in maturity from three to ten years and are made to U.S. and, to a limited extent,
non-U.S.
corporations, partnerships and other business entities which operate in various industries and geographical regions.
Under normal market conditions, we generally expect that at least 80% of the value of our managed assets, which means our net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in Floating Rate Loans and other investments bearing a variable-rate of interest. We generally expect that first lien secured debt will represent at least 65% of our overall portfolio. We also generally expect to invest up to 35% of our overall portfolio opportunistically in other types of investments, including second lien secured debt and subordinated debt and, to a lesser extent, equity investments. We seek to create a diversified portfolio by generally targeting an investment size between $5 million and $30 million, on average, although we expect that this investment size will vary proportionately with the size of our capital base.
Our investment activity depends on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. We have used, and expect to continue to use, our debt capital, proceeds from the rotation of our portfolio and proceeds from public and private offerings of securities to finance our investment objectives.
Organization and Structure of PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd.
PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd., a Maryland corporation organized in October 2010, is a
closed-end,
externally managed,
non-diversified
investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, for federal income tax purposes we have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code.
Funding I, our wholly owned subsidiary and a special purpose entity, was organized in Delaware as a limited liability company in May 2011. We formed Funding I in order to establish the Prior Credit Facility. On August 12, 2021, we terminated the Prior Credit Facility, and Funding I, as borrower, entered into the Credit Facility, which provides the ability for Funding I to borrow up to $366 million (increased from $300 million in September 2022). The Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets of Funding I.
In May 2017, we and a subsidiary of Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR), Trinity Universal Insurance Company, or Kemper, formed PSSL, an unconsolidated joint venture. PSSL invests primarily in middle-market and other corporate debt securities consistent with our strategy. PSSL was formed as a Delaware limited liability company.
In April 2019, our wholly owned subsidiary, the Securitization Issuer, was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We formed the Securitization Issuer in order to complete the Debt Securitization.
Our Investment Adviser and Administrator
We utilize the investing experience and contacts of PennantPark Investment Advisers in developing what we believe is an attractive and diversified portfolio. The senior investment professionals of the Investment Adviser have worked together for many years and average over 25 years of experience in the senior lending, mezzanine lending, leveraged finance, distressed debt and private equity businesses. In addition, our senior investment professionals have been involved in originating, structuring, negotiating, managing and monitoring investments in each of these businesses across changing economic and market cycles. We believe this experience and history have resulted in a strong reputation with financial sponsors, management teams, investment bankers,
 
3

attorneys and accountants, which provides us with access to substantial investment opportunities across the capital markets. Our Investment Adviser has a rigorous investment approach, which is based upon intensive financial analysis with a focus on capital preservation, diversification and active management. Since our Investment Adviser’s inception in 2007, it has invested through its managed funds $17.1 billion in 628 companies with more than 200 different financial sponsors through its managed funds, which includes investments by the Company totaling $5.0 billion in 451 companies.
Our Administrator has experienced professionals with substantial backgrounds in finance and administration of registered investment companies. In addition to furnishing us with clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services, the Administrator also oversees our financial records as well as the preparation of our reports to stockholders and reports filed with the SEC. The Administrator assists in the determination and publication of our net asset value, or NAV, oversees the preparation and filing of our tax returns, and monitors the payment of our expenses as well as the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to us by others. Furthermore, our Administrator offers, on our behalf, significant managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which we are required to offer such assistance. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to our Business and Structure—There are significant potential conflicts of interest which could impact our investment returns” in our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K
for more information.
Market Opportunity
We believe that the limited amount of capital available to middle-market companies, coupled with the desire of these companies for flexible sources of capital, creates an attractive investment environment for us.
 
   
We believe middle-market companies have faced difficulty raising debt in private markets.
From time to time, banks, finance companies, hedge funds and collateralized loan obligation, or CLO, funds have withdrawn, and may again withdraw, capital from the middle-market, resulting in opportunities for alternative funding sources.
 
   
We believe middle-market companies have faced difficulty in raising debt through the capital markets.
Many middle-market companies look to raise funds by issuing high-yield bonds and broadly syndicated loans. We believe this approach to financing becomes difficult at times when institutional investors seek to invest in larger, more liquid offerings. We believe this has made it harder for middle-market companies to raise funds by issuing high-yield securities from time to time.
 
   
We believe that credit market dislocation for middle-market companies improves the risk-reward on our investments.
From time to time, market participants have reduced lending to middle-market and
non-investment
grade borrowers. As a result, we believe there is less competition in our market, more conservative capital structures, higher yields and stronger covenants.
 
   
We believe there is a large pool of uninvested private equity capital likely to seek to combine their capital with sources of debt capital to complete private investments.
We expect that private equity firms will continue to be active investors in middle-market companies. These private equity funds generally seek to leverage their investments by combining their capital with loans provided by other sources, and we believe that we are well-positioned to partner with such equity investors.
 
   
We believe there is substantial supply of opportunities resulting from maturing loans that seek refinancing.
A high volume of financings will come due in the next few years. Additionally, we believe that demand for debt financing from middle-market companies will remain strong because these companies will continue to require credit to refinance existing debt, to support growth initiatives and to finance acquisitions. We believe the combination of strong demand by middle-market companies and, from time to time, the reduced supply of credit described above should increase lending opportunities for us. We believe this supply of opportunities coupled with a lack of demand offers attractive risk-reward to investors.

We use words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “seeks,” “plans,” “estimates” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue influence on the forward looking statements as our actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements for any reason, including the factors set forth in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. Important assumptions include our ability to originate new loans and investments, certain margins and levels of profitability and the availability of additional capital. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved.
We base the forward-looking statements included in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and documents incorporated by reference on information available to us on the date of the relevant document, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in such documents, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that we have filed or in the future may file with the SEC, including reports on Form
10-K/Q
and current reports on Form
8-K.
You should understand that, under Section 27A(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E(b)(2) of the Exchange Act, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to forward-looking statements made in connection with any offering of securities pursuant to this prospectus or in periodic reports we file under the Exchange Act.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement or a free writing prospectus we have authorized for use in connection with a specific offering, we may use the net proceeds from selling securities pursuant to this prospectus for general corporate or strategic purposes, including making investments in portfolio companies or repaying outstanding indebtedness.
We may invest the proceeds from an offering of securities in new or existing portfolio companies, and such investments may take up to a year from the closing of such offering, in part because privately negotiated investments in illiquid securities or private middle-market companies require substantial due diligence and structuring. During this period, we may use the net proceeds from our offering to reduce then-outstanding indebtedness or to invest such proceeds in cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. We expect to earn yields on such investments, if any, that are lower than the interest income that we anticipate receiving in respect of investments in
non-temporary
 
11

investments. As a result, any distributions we make during this investment period may be lower than the distributions that we would expect to pay when such proceeds are fully invested in
non-temporary
investments. See “Business—Regulation—Temporary Investments” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form
10-K
for more information.

SALES OF COMMON STOCK BELOW NET ASSET VALUE
Our stockholders may approve our ability to sell shares of our common stock below our then current NAV per share in one or more public offerings of our common stock. In making a determination that an offering below NAV per share is in our and our stockholders’ best interests, our board of directors, a majority of our directors who have no financial interest in the sale and a majority of our independent directors considered a variety of factors, including:
 
   
The effect that an offering below NAV per share would have on our stockholders, including the potential dilution they would experience as a result of the offering;
 
   
The amount per share by which the offering price per share and the net proceeds per share are less than the most recently determined NAV per share;
 
   
The relationship of recent market prices of our common stock to NAV per share and the potential impact of the offering on the market price per share of our common stock;
 
   
Whether the estimated offering price would closely approximate the market value of our shares, less distributing commissions or discounts, and would not be below current market price;
 
   
The potential market impact of being able to raise capital in the current financial market;
 
   
The nature of any new investors anticipated to acquire shares in the offering;
 
   
The anticipated rate of return on and quality, type and availability of investments;
 
   
The leverage available to us, both before and after the offering and other borrowing terms; and
 
   
The potential investment opportunities available relative to the potential dilutive effect of additional capital at the time of the offering.
 
12

Our board of directors will also consider the fact that a sale of shares of common stock at a discount will benefit our Investment Adviser, as the Investment Adviser will earn additional investment management fees on the proceeds of such offerings, as it would from the offering of any other securities of PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. or from the offering of common stock at a premium to NAV per share.
Sales by us of our common stock at a discount from NAV pose potential risks for our existing stockholders whether or not they participate in the offering, as well as for new investors who participate in the offering. As of the date of this registration statement, stockholders have not approved sales of our common stock below our then current NAV per share.
We will not seek to sell shares under a prospectus supplement to the registration statement, or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part (the “current registration statement”) if the cumulative dilution to our NAV per share arising from offerings from the effective date of the current registration statement through and including any
follow-on
offering would exceed 15% based on the anticipated pricing of such
follow-on
offering. This limit would be measured separately for each offering pursuant to the current registration statement by calculating the percentage dilution or accretion to aggregate NAV from that offering and then summing the anticipated percentage dilution from each subsequent offering. For example, if our most recently determined NAV per share at the time of the first offering is $10.00, and we have 100 million shares outstanding, the sale of an additional 25 million shares at net proceeds to us of $5.00 per share (a 50% discount) would produce dilution of 10.0%. If we subsequently determined that our NAV per share increased to $11.00 on the then outstanding 125 million shares and contemplated an additional offering, we could, for example, propose to sell approximately 31.25 million additional shares at a price that would be expected to yield net proceeds to us of $8.25 per share, resulting in incremental dilution of 5.0%, before we would reach the aggregate 15% limit. If we file a new post-effective amendment, the threshold would reset.
The following three headings and accompanying tables explain and provide hypothetical examples assuming proceeds are temporarily invested in cash equivalents on the impact of an offering at a price less than NAV per share on three different sets of investors:
 
   
existing stockholders who do not purchase any shares in the offering;
 
   
existing stockholders who purchase a relatively small amount of shares in the offering or a relatively large amount of shares in the offering; and
 
   
new investors who become stockholders by purchasing shares in the offering.
Impact on Existing Stockholders who do not Participate in the Offering
Our existing stockholders who do not participate, or who are not given the opportunity to participate, in an offering below NAV per share or who do not buy additional shares in the secondary market at the same or lower price we obtain in the offering (after any underwriting discounts and commissions) face the greatest potential risks. All stockholders will experience an immediate decrease (often called dilution) in the NAV of the shares they hold. Stockholders who do not participate in the offering will also experience a disproportionately greater decrease in their participation in our earnings and assets and their voting power than stockholders who do participate in the offering. All stockholders may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects, to some degree, announced or potential increases and decreases in NAV per share. This decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discounts increase.
The following examples illustrate the level of NAV dilution that would be experienced by a nonparticipating stockholder in three different hypothetical common stock offerings of different sizes and levels of discount from NAV per share, although it is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur. Actual sales prices and discounts may differ from the presentation below.
 
13

The examples assume that Company XYZ has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, $15.0 million in total assets and $5.0 million in total liabilities. The current NAV and NAV per share are thus $10.0 million and $10.00, respectively. The table below illustrates the dilutive effect on nonparticipating stockholder A of (1) an offering of 50,000 shares (5% of the outstanding shares) at $9.50 per share after any underwriting discounts and commissions (a 5% discount from NAV); (2) an offering of 100,000 shares (10% of the outstanding shares) at $9.00 per share after any underwriting discounts and commissions (a 10% discount from NAV); and (3) an offering of 250,000 shares (25% of the outstanding shares) at $7.50 per share after any underwriting discounts and commissions (a 25% discount from NAV).

Impact on Existing Stockholders who Participate in the Offering
Our existing stockholders who participate in an offering below NAV per share or who buy additional shares in the secondary market at the same or lower price as we obtain in the offering (after any underwriting discounts and commissions) will experience the same types of NAV dilution as the nonparticipating stockholders, albeit at a lower level, to the extent they purchase less than the same percentage of the offering below NAV as their interest in our shares immediately prior to the offering. The level of NAV dilution on an aggregate basis will decrease as the number of shares such stockholders purchase increases. Existing stockholders who buy more than such percentage will experience NAV dilution but will, in contrast to existing stockholders who purchase less than their proportionate share of the offering, experience an increase (often called accretion) in NAV per share over their investment per share and will also experience a disproportionately greater increase in their participation in our earnings and assets and their voting power than our increase in assets, potential earning power and voting interests due to the offering. The level of accretion will increase as the excess number of shares such stockholder purchases increases. Even a stockholder who over-participates will, however, be subject to the risk that we may make additional offerings below NAV in which such stockholder does not participate, in which case such a stockholder will experience NAV dilution as described above in such subsequent offerings. These stockholders may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in NAV per share. This decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discount to NAV increases.
The examples assume that Company XYZ has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, $15.0 million in total assets and $5.0 million in total liabilities. The current NAV and NAV per share are thus $10.0 million and $10.00, respectively. The table below illustrates the (dilutive) and accretive effect in the hypothetical offering of 25% of the shares outstanding at a 25% discount to NAV from the prior chart for stockholder A that acquires shares equal to (1) 50% of their proportionate share of the offering (i.e., 1,250 shares which is 0.50% of the offering of 250,000 shares rather than their 1.00% proportionate share) and (2) 150% of their proportionate share of the offering (i.e., 3,750 shares which is 1.50% of the offering of 250,000 shares rather than their 1.00% proportionate share).

Impact on New Investors
The following examples illustrate the level of NAV dilution or accretion that would be experienced by a new stockholder in three different hypothetical common stock offerings of different sizes and levels of discount from NAV per share, although it is not possible to predict the level of market price decline that may occur. Actual sales prices and discounts may differ from the presentation below.
Investors who are not currently stockholders, but who participate in an offering below NAV and whose investment per share is greater than the resulting NAV per share due to any underwriting discounts and commissions paid by us will experience an immediate decrease, albeit small, in the NAV of their shares and their NAV per share compared to the price they pay for their shares. Investors who are not currently stockholders and who participate in an offering below NAV per share and whose investment per share is also less than the resulting NAV per share due to any underwriting discounts and commissions paid by us being significantly less than the discount per share, will experience an immediate increase in the NAV of their shares and their NAV per share compared to the price they pay for their shares. All these investors will experience a disproportionately greater participation in our earnings and assets and their voting power than our increase in assets, potential earning power and voting interests. These investors will, however, be subject to the risk that we may make additional offerings below NAV in which such new stockholder does not participate, in which case such new stockholder will experience dilution as described above in such subsequent offerings. These investors may also experience a decline in the market price of their shares, which often reflects to some degree announced or potential increases and decreases in NAV per share. Their decrease could be more pronounced as the size of the offering and level of discounts increases.
The following examples illustrate the level of NAV dilution or accretion that would be experienced by a new stockholder who purchases the same percentage (1.00%) of the shares in the three different hypothetical offerings of common stock of different sizes and levels of discount from NAV per share. The examples assume that Company XYZ has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, $15.0 million in total assets and $5.0 million in total liabilities. The current NAV and NAV per share are thus $10.0 million and $10.00, respectively. The table below illustrates the dilutive and accretive effects on a stockholder A at (1) an offering of 50,000 shares (5% of the outstanding shares) at $9.50 per share after any underwriting discounts and commissions (a 5% discount from NAV); (2) an offering of 100,000 shares (10% of the outstanding shares) at $9.00 per share after any underwriting discounts and commissions (a 10% discount from NAV); and (3) an offering of 250,000 shares (25% of the outstanding shares) at $7.50 per share after any underwriting discounts and commissions (a 25% discount from NAV).

DISTRIBUTIONS
We intend to continue making monthly distributions to our stockholders. The timing and amount of our monthly distributions, if any, is determined by our board of directors. Any distributions to our stockholders are declared out of assets legally available for distribution. We monitor available net investment income to determine if a tax return of capital may occur for the fiscal year. To the extent our taxable earnings fall below the total amount of our distributions for any given fiscal year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed to be a tax return of capital to our common stockholders.
Each year, a Form
1099-DIV
will be sent to stockholders subject to information reporting that will state the amount and composition of distributions and provide information with respect to appropriate tax treatment of our distributions.
 
17

The tax characteristics of distributions declared, in accordance with Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act, for our fiscal and taxable years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 from ordinary income (including short-term gains), if any, totaled $46.7 million, or $1.14 per share, and $44.2 million, or $1.14 per share, based on the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective periods. Additionally, for both years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not pay any distributions from long-term capital gains.
We may not be able to achieve operating results that will allow us to make distributions at a specific level or to increase the amount of these distributions from time to time. In addition, we may be limited in our ability to make distributions due to the asset coverage ratio for borrowings when applicable to us as a BDC under the 1940 Act and due to provisions in future credit facilities. If we do not distribute a certain minimum percentage of our income annually, we will suffer adverse tax consequences, including possible loss of our ability to be subject to tax as a RIC. We cannot assure stockholders that they will receive any distributions or distributions at a particular level.

PORTFOLIO COMPANIES
The following is a listing of each portfolio company or its affiliate, together referred to as portfolio companies, in which we had an investment as of September 30, 2022. Percentages shown for class of investment securities held by us represent percentage of voting ownership and not economic ownership. Percentages shown for equity securities, other than warrants or options held, if any, represent the actual percentage of the class of security held before dilution. For additional information see our “Consolidated Schedule of Investments” in our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
The portfolio companies are presented in three categories: “Companies less than 5% owned” which represent portfolio companies where we directly or indirectly own less than 5% of the outstanding voting securities of such portfolio company and where we have no other affiliations with such portfolio company; “Companies 5% to 24% owned” which represent portfolio companies where we directly or indirectly own 5% or more but less than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of such portfolio company and, therefore, are deemed to be an affiliated person under the 1940 Act; and “Companies 25% or more owned” which represent portfolio companies where we directly or indirectly own 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of such portfolio company and, therefore, are generally presumed to be controlled by us under the 1940 Act.
