ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

 

Issuer: OFS Credit Company, Inc. (the “Issuer”)

 

Address of Issuer’s principal executive offices: 10 South Wacker Drive, Suite 2500, Chicago, IL 60606

 

Security:

 

·         6.125% Series C Term Preferred Stock due 2026, Liquidation Preference $25 per Share (“Series C Preferred Shares”)

·         5.25% Series E Term Preferred Stock due 2026, Liquidation Preference $25 per Share (“Series E Preferred Shares” and together with the Series C Preferred Shares, the “Preferred Shares”)

 

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

 

This Schedule 13D is jointly filed pursuant to a Joint Filing Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A by (i) Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (“EPCM”), a Delaware limited liability company, (ii) Eagle Point DIF GP I LLC (“DIF GP”), a Delaware limited liability company, (iii) Eagle Point CIF GP I LLC (“Core GP”), a Delaware limited liability company, (iv) Eagle Point Defensive Income Fund US LP (“DIF US”), a Delaware limited partnership, and (v) Eagle Point Core Income Fund LP (“Core LP”), a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). The principal business address for each Reporting Person is 600 Steamboat Road, Suite 202, Greenwich, CT 06830 United States.

 

EPCM is a registered investment adviser and serves as investment adviser to DIF US, Core LP and certain separately managed accounts (the “SMAs”), each of which holds the Preferred Shares described herein (collectively, the “Accounts”). EPCM’s sole member is Eagle Point Holdings LP (“Holdings LP”). Eagle Point Holdings GP LLC (“Holdings GP”) is the sole general partner of Holdings LP. Holdings GP is managed by a board of managers (the “EP Holdings Board”) of which the majority of the members are appointed by Trident EP-II Holdings LLC (“EP-II LLC”), which also owns a majority of the voting interests in Holdings GP.

 

DIF GP serves as the general partner to DIF US, which is a private investment fund. DIF GP’s sole member is Holdings LP. Core GP serves as the general partner to Core LP, which is also a private investment fund. Core GP’s sole member is Holdings LP.

 

Information regarding Holdings LP, Holdings GP, EP-II LLC, and each member of the EP Holdings Board (the “Additional Disclosed Persons” and, together with the Reporting Persons, the “Disclosed Parties”) is attached to this Schedule 13D as Schedule I and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

During the past five years, none of the Disclosed Parties (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

 

The Series C Preferred Shares were acquired over a period of time in multiple secondary transactions at various market prices. The funds used to acquire the Series C Preferred Shares were from each applicable Account’s available investment capital, except that certain funds used by DIF US were obtained on margin pursuant to a prime brokerage arrangement with Pershing LLC.

 

An aggregate of 500,000 shares of Series E Preferred Shares were acquired in connection with an underwritten public offering that closed on December 8, 2021. The transaction is described in greater detail in the Issuer’s annual report for the year ended October 31, 2021 filed on Form N-CSR on December 14, 2021 (the “Annual Report”), the terms

of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. The aggregate purchase price of the Series E Preferred Shares acquired in the public offering was $12,125,000.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

EPCM has caused the Accounts to acquire the Preferred Shares for investment purposes and will continue to analyze such investments on an ongoing basis. EPCM, on behalf of the Accounts, reserves the right to increase or decrease the Accounts’ ownership of the Preferred Shares over time.

 

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

 

CURRENT OWNERSHIP

 

Based on the Annual Report, the Issuer currently has total of 2,380,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 603,345 Preferred Shares (without overlap), which represents approximately 25.4% of all of the Issuer’s outstanding preferred shares. The number of Preferred Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Disclosed Parties are as follows:

 

Shares Deemed to be Beneficially Owned By:	Nature of Ownership	Percentage of Class
Eagle Point Credit Management LLC: 603,345	Sole Voting and Sole Dispositive Power (1)	25.4%
Eagle Point DIF GP I LLC: 102,471	Shared Voting and Shared Dispositive Power (2)	4.3%
Eagle Point CIF GP I LLC: 250,245	Shared Voting and Shared Dispositive Power (2)	10.5%
Eagle Point Defensive Income Fund US LP: 102,471	Shared Voting and Shared Dispositive Power (3)	4.3%
Eagle Point Core Income Fund LP: 250,245	Shared Voting and Shared Dispositive Power (3)	10.5%
Holdings LP (4): -	-	-
Holdings GP (4): -	-	-
EP Holdings Board members (4): -	-	-
EP-II LLC (4): -	-	-

 

 

(1) Because EPCM is the investment manager of each Account and, as such, holds discretionary investment authority and voting power with respect to shares of its portfolio companies, including the Preferred Shares, it could be deemed to have the sole power to vote and dispose or direct the disposition of such Preferred Shares.

 

(2) Because the general partner to each private investment fund has the authority to exercise voting or dispositive power with respect to shares of its portfolio companies, including the Preferred Shares, it could be deemed to share the power to vote and dispose or direct the disposition of such Preferred Shares.

 

(3) The private investment funds directly hold the Preferred Shares, and have delegated management of their portfolio, including the Preferred Shares, to their respective general partners and EPCM. Accordingly, each private investment fund may be deemed to share the power to vote and dispose or direct the disposition of such Preferred Shares.

 

(4) Holdings LP is a holding company for EPCM. While Holdings LP, Holdings GP, each of the EP Holdings Board members, and EP-II LLC each fully disclaim beneficial ownership of securities beneficially owned by EPCM within the meaning of the Act, each of them could be deemed to share ownership with EPCM.
