An active portfolio company is one that we have a current management contract and continue to provide management services along with any additional services needed. In exchange for our cash investment in a portfolio company, we receive securities issued by the portfolio company, typically common stock or warrants to purchase common stock.

Our investment objective is to generate capital appreciation, primarily through investments in the equity securities, or warrants to purchase the equity securities, of our portfolio companies. ...
