PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This supplement replaces in its entirety the fourth and eighth paragraphs in the section entitled “Prospectus Summary-Credit Facilities” on page 9 of the Prospectus (as supplemented) with the following:
On June 2, 2014, our wholly owned Structured Subsidiary, HMS Funding I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“HMS Funding”), entered into a credit agreement (the “Deutsche Bank Credit Facility”) among HMS Funding, as borrower, the Company, as equityholder and as servicer, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”), as administrative agent, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (together with Deutsche Bank, the “HMS Funding Lenders”), and U.S. Bank National Association (the "Collateral Agent"), as collateral agent and collateral custodian. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility provided for an initial borrowing capacity of $50 million, subject to certain limitations, including limitations with respect to HMS Funding’s investments, as more fully described in the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility was amended and restated on May 18, 2015 and subsequently has been amended on multiple occasions, most recently on September 23, 2015, increasing the revolver commitments to $360 million. We contribute certain assets to HMS Funding from time to time, as permitted under our Syndicated Credit Facility, as collateral to secure the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility. The Deutsche Bank Credit Facility matures on June 16, 2020, at which point all outstanding advances are due.
As of September 28, 2015, we had approximately $100.0 million outstanding and $25.0 million available under our Syndicated Credit Facility, and approximately $290.0 million outstanding and $70.0 million available under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facility, both of which we estimated approximated fair value and subject to certain limitations and the asset coverage restrictions under the 1940 Act.

Under the Fee Waiver Amendment, our Advisers have agreed to extend the term of the fee waiver with respect to our Adviser through December 31, 2015. The terms of the fee waiver were not extended with respect to our Sub-Adviser (except for the subordinated incentive fee on income for the period January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015, which our Sub-Adviser has agreed to waive). Our Adviser has no obligation to waive fees pursuant to the Conditional Fee Waiver Agreement after December 31, 2015, unless the fee waiver period is further extended.
