Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks Runway Growth Finance Corp. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 12, 2026: 76 risks under these headings, as written.4
- Risks Related to the Economy
- Political, social and economic uncertainty creates and exacerbates risks.
- Disruption in the capital markets may cause unstable economic conditions. Such market conditions may materially and adversely affect debt and equity capital markets, which may have a negative impact on our business and operations.
- The current period of capital markets disruption and economic uncertainty may make it difficult to extend the maturity of, or refinance, our existing indebtedness or obtain new indebtedness and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
- Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio companies and harm our operating results.
- Further downgrades of the U.S. credit rating could negatively impact our liquidity, financial conditions and earnings and the impact of any government budgetary disruptions.
- Global economic, political and market conditions may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our revenue growth and profitability.
- Changes to U.S. tariff and import/export regulations may have a negative effect on our portfolio companies and, in turn, negatively impact us.
- Our investment portfolio is recorded at fair value, with our Board of Directors determining, in good faith, the fair value of our investment portfolio and, as a result, there is uncertainty as to the value of our portfolio investments.
- Our financial condition and results of operations depend on our ability to effectively manage and deploy capital.
- We operate in a highly competitive market for investment opportunities and we may not be able to compete effectively.
- Our business model depends to a significant extent upon strong referral relationships. Any inability of RGC to maintain or develop these relationships, or the failure of these relationships to generate investment opportunities, could adversely affect our business.
The other 65 risks
- We are dependent upon RGC’s key personnel for our future success.
- Our success depends on the ability of RGC to attract and retain qualified personnel in a competitive environment.
- The compensation we pay to RGC and our Administrator was not determined on an arm’s-length basis. Thus, the terms of such compensation may be less advantageous to us than if such terms had been the subject of arm’s-length negotiations.
- Our management fee may induce RGC to purchase assets with borrowed funds and to use leverage despite any enhanced risk.
- The capital gains portion of our incentive fee may induce RGC to make speculative investments.
- A general increase in interest rates will likely have the effect of making it easier for RGC to receive incentive fees, without necessarily resulting in an increase in our net earnings.
- RGC and our Administrator have the right to resign upon not more than 60 days’ notice, and we may not be able to find a suitable replacement for either within that time, or at all, resulting in a disruption in our operations that could adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.
- We may need to raise additional capital to grow because we must distribute most of our income.
- Any failure on our part to maintain our status as a BDC or fail to qualify as a RIC would reduce our operating flexibility.
- Regulations governing our operation as a BDC affect our ability to raise additional capital and the way in which we do so. As a BDC, the necessity of raising additional capital may expose us to risks, including the typical risks associated with leverage.
- We borrow money, which could magnify the potential for gain or loss on amounts invested and may increase the risk of investing in us.
- Any defaults under our Credit Facility or other borrowings, including the July 2027, April 2028, or February 2031 Notes could adversely affect our business.
- If we are unable to obtain additional debt financing, or if our borrowing capacity is materially reduced, our business could be materially adversely affected.
- Changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital, the ability of our portfolio companies to service their debt obligations and our net investment income.
- Our portfolio securities may not have a readily available market price and, in such a case, we will value these securities at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by our Board of Directors, which valuation is inherently subjective and may not reflect what we may actually realize for the sale of the investment.
- Our Board of Directors may change our investment objective, operating policies and strategies without prior notice or stockholder approval, the effects of which may be adverse.
- To the extent original issue discount and PIK-interest constitute a portion of our income, we are exposed to typical risks associated with such income being required to be included in taxable and accounting income prior to receipt of cash representing such income.
- We have and will continue to expend significant financial and other resources to comply with the requirements of being a public reporting entity.
- We are obligated to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our common stock.
- Technological developments in artificial intelligence could disrupt the markets in which we operate and subject us to increased competition, legal and regulatory risks and compliance costs.
- Risks Related to Our Investments
- Our investments are very risky and highly speculative.
- Investing in high growth-potential, private companies involves a high degree of risk, and our financial results may be affected adversely if one or more of our significant portfolio investments defaults on its loans or fails to perform as we expect.
- An investment strategy focused primarily on privately held companies presents certain challenges, including the lack of available information about these companies and a greater vulnerability to economic downturns.
- Inflation may adversely affect our and our portfolio companies’ business, results of operations and financial condition.
- Our portfolio companies may have limited operating histories and financial resources.
- The financial projections of our portfolio companies could prove inaccurate.
- Our portfolio companies may incur debt that ranks equally with, or senior to, our investments in such companies.
- There may be circumstances in which our debt investments could be subordinated to claims of other creditors or we could be subject to lender liability claims.
- Second priority liens on collateral securing loans that we make to our portfolio companies may be subject to control by senior creditors with first priority liens. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay in full both the first priority creditors and us.
- We may be subject to risks associated with our investments in covenant-lite loans.
- The lack of liquidity in our investments may adversely affect our business.
- Our failure to make follow-on investments in our portfolio companies could impair the value of our portfolio.
- Our portfolio may lack diversification among portfolio companies, which subjects us to a risk of significant loss if one or more of these companies default on their repayment obligations under any of their debt instruments.
- Our portfolio may be concentrated in a limited number of industries, which will subject us to a risk of significant loss if there is a downturn in a particular industry in which a number of our investments are concentrated.
- Our portfolio may lack diversification among our Sponsored Growth Lending and Non-Sponsored Growth Lending strategies and among sponsors within the Sponsored Growth Lending strategy.
- We invest in sectors including technology, healthcare, business services, financial services, select consumer services and products and other high-growth industries, which are subject to specific risks related to each.
- We may be subject to risks associated with our investments in healthcare-related companies.
- Technology-related sectors, including those involving data processing and outsourced services, in which we invest are subject to many risks, including volatility, intense competition, decreasing life cycles, product obsolescence, changing consumer preferences and periodic downturns.
- Certain technology-related industries are subject to extensive government regulation, which exposes us to the risk of significant loss if any of these industry sectors experiences a downturn.
- Any of our portfolio companies operating in the healthcare information and services industry are subject to extensive government regulation and certain other risks particular to that industry.
- The internet retail industry is subject to many risks and is highly competitive.
- We may be subject to risks associated with our investments in the software industry.
- Our portfolio companies operating in the human resources and employment services industry operate in a complex regulatory environment, and failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could adversely affect the business of our portfolio companies.
- Because we generally do not hold controlling equity interests in our portfolio companies, we may not be in a position to exercise control over our portfolio companies or to prevent decisions by management of our portfolio companies that could decrease the value of our investments.
- Defaults by our portfolio companies will harm our operating results.
- If our portfolio companies are unable to commercialize their technologies, products, business concepts or services, the returns on our investments could be adversely affected.
- If our portfolio companies are unable to protect their intellectual property rights, our business and prospects could be harmed, and if portfolio companies are required to devote significant resources to protecting their intellectual property rights, the value of our investment could be reduced.
- Any unrealized losses we experience on our loan portfolio may be an indication of future realized losses, which could reduce our income available for distribution.
- Prepayments of our debt investments by our portfolio companies could adversely impact our results of operations and reduce our return on equity.
- Our investments in leveraged portfolio companies may be risky, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
- We may not realize gains from our equity investments.
- We may expose ourselves to risks if we engage in hedging transactions.
- Our investments in portfolio companies may expose us to environmental risks.
- Risks Related to Our Conflicts of Interest
- Our relationship with Oaktree may create conflicts of interest.
- There are significant potential conflicts of interest which could impact our investment returns.
- RGC’s liability is limited under the Advisory Agreement and we have agreed to indemnify RGC against certain liabilities, which may lead RGC to act in a riskier manner on our behalf than it would when acting for its own account.
- The valuation process for certain of our investments may create a conflict of interest.
- We may pay the Adviser an incentive fee on certain investments that include a deferred interest feature.
- Risks Related to our Common Stock
- Shares of our common stock have traded at a discount from net asset value and may do so in the future.
- A stockholder’s interest in us will be diluted if we issue additional shares, which could reduce the overall value of an investment in us.
- Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
- The market value of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
- The amount of any distributions we may make is uncertain. We may not be able to pay you distributions, or be able to sustain distributions at any particular level, and our distributions per share, if any, may not grow over time, and our distributions per share may be reduced. We have not established any limit on the extent to which we may use borrowings, if any, to sustain distributions and we may also use offering proceeds to fund distributions (which may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in portfolio companies).
- Distributions on our common stock may exceed our taxable earnings and profits. Therefore, portions of the distributions that we pay may represent a return of capital to you.
- Stockholders may experience dilution in the net asset value of their shares if they do not participate in our Dividend Reinvestment Plan and if our shares are trading at a discount to net asset value.
Legal proceedings
We and RGC are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we or RGC may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us. While the outcome of any such legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that any such proceedings would have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
