Thank you. Welcome and good morning. Thank you for joining us today, and we hope everyone is healthy and doing well. I'm joined this morning by our Chief Financial Officer, Jason Roos, and our Chief Investment Officer, Patrick Schaefer. For those of you who are new to Portman Ridge, our investment strategy is to focus on direct origination of senior secured debt investments to the middle market. We are affiliated with BC Partners, a leading global alternative asset manager with more than $40 billion of assets under management and over 30 years of operating history in the U.S. BC Partners Credit was launched in February of 2017 and has pursued a strategy focused on identifying attractive opportunities in any market environment across sectors by leveraging the deal sourcing and infrastructure made available to us by BC Partners.
Yesterday afternoon, Portman Ridge announced its Q4 and Full Year 2020 Fiscal Year financial results. We had an active and successful year in 2020, and we are very pleased with the progress we've made in managing and growing Portman Ridge. I'll focus my remarks today on three areas. First, an update on our M&A activity in general. Second, an overview of our quarterly and full year results. And finally, our perspective of current market conditions, including our general outlook for the Q1 of 2021. Following that, Jason will provide additional detail on our portfolio, on our financial results, and Patrick will do the same on the investment portfolio. On October 28th, we closed our merger with Garrison Capital.
This transaction, which has been the largest merger we've executed to date, essentially doubled our asset base, and as we've discussed in previous conference calls, is expected to result in a number of benefits to Portman Ridge shareholders. Accordingly, at year-end, total assets was $600 million compared to total assets of $300 million as at September 30th, 2020. As we stated before, our approach heading into the closing of the merger was to immediately begin reducing portfolio risk and the combined leverage levels. We did this through the opportunistic selling of acquired assets immediately after close. By year-end, we proactively monetized an aggregate of $92.4 million of assets originated by Garrison at or above fair value and used the proceeds to delever the portfolio within our targeted leverage range.
We ended the year with a leverage ratio of 1.36 on a net cash basis compared to a net leverage ratio of 1.8 times when we acquired the Garrison assets, which is a full two quarters ahead of our guidance. Our top priority was getting our combined leverage ratio to our target level, and we were able to accomplish this without sacrificing valuations and did not have to take any kind of timing risk. Broadly speaking, the addition of the Garrison assets resulted in a substantial increase in the percentage of senior secured loans, and particularly first lien senior secured debt in our investment portfolio, which is in line with our long-term strategy of having the overall Portman Ridge portfolio being comprised primarily of senior loans with a focus on first lien investments.
Our investment portfolio increased from $279 million at September 30th to $488 million at year-end, and by far, the largest component of the change was the addition of $204 million in senior secured loans from Garrison. First Lien investments comprised 61% of the debt securities portfolio at September 30th, and at year-end, this percentage was 81%. The addition of Garrison assets also improved our overall diversification, and at year-end, we reported 109 portfolio companies across 28 different industries. On the liability side, we assumed an on-balance sheet CLO, which had a principal balance outstanding of $252 million at year-end and serves to diversify our funding sources. As previously stated, we expect the merger to be accretive to Portman Ridge's net investment income per share, driven in the near term by the spreading of fixed costs across a much larger AUM base.
Over time, we expect to continue rotating legacy assets, including those originated by Garrison, into higher yielding directly originated loans. In summary, we're very pleased with the progress we've made so far in terms of the integration of Garrison into our platform, and we will remain well ahead of plan in terms of execution. In December, we announced our plan to merge with Harvest Capital Credit Corporation. The Harvest transaction makes sense for Portman Ridge for many of the same reasons we've noted on our previous mergers. We are adding further size and diversification to the existing platform, increasing the leveraging of public company expenses immediately while improving trading liquidity, visibility, and the capability and flexibility to speak for larger deals in the longer term. The Harvest portfolio will also continue to shift our portfolio composition to first lien assets.
We're working towards an expected closing to occur in the Q2 of this year. Taking a step back, I want to briefly comment on Portman Ridge's M&A activities and provide some big picture commentary. Since April of 2019, when we assumed management of the company, we've acquired two investment portfolios with a third hopefully to be closed and integrated sometime in the Q2 of this year. As we embarked on these transactions in each instance, we've made a clear set of objectives, namely to immediately take action opportunistically to rotate assets in order to de-risk each transaction and also shift the portfolio composition towards high-quality senior secured debt investments.
Along the way, we've also worked to gradually reduce the percentage of non-core assets such as our CLO equity and second lien investments, which both occurred both naturally as we acquired the Garrison portfolio and also as a result of proactive asset sales and wind-downs. We are now able to discuss our track record to date in more tangible terms. We closed the OHAI transaction in late 2019 and assumed a book of largely liquid second lien investments. Very shortly after close, we immediately monetized approximately 40% of the book. The remaining portfolio performed at or above our expectations throughout 2020 despite COVID, which I believe is a testament to the underwriting assumptions we made when we acquired this portfolio.
With respect to Garrison, as I mentioned before, we monetized close to $100 million of assets at or above fair value shortly after close and reduced leverage to within our target ratio. Certainly, we have benefited from the overall economy and market strengthening compared to when we announced the transaction, but our ability to work quickly in managing a portfolio the size of Garrison's is important to note. In summary, we believe we've been able to demonstrate an ability to close transactions, quickly reposition the portfolios as necessary, and immediately begin to capture synergies. Now, with the passage of time, we're beginning to demonstrate a track record in that our underwriting in each of these transactions has been accurate. Shifting gears now to our financial performance for the Q4 and full year. For the Q4 of 2020, we generated net investment income per share of $0.14.
Excluding the impact of gains realized in connection with the Garrison merger, adjusted net investment income per share in the Q4 was $0.08 per share. This adjusted net investment income per share of $0.08 compares to net investment income per share of $0.06 in the Q3 and reflects our continued coverage of our quarterly distributions, which were also $0.06 per share in the Q4 . Net asset value per share at year-end was $2.88 compared to net asset per share of $2.85 at September 30th, $2.71 at June 30th, and $2.69 at March 31st. Jason will go into further detail, but the primary drivers of this NAV increase per share were the broad-based strengthening of our portfolio due to middle market spreads continuing to tighten throughout the quarter, as well as the improving portfolio company performance, offset partially by transaction costs associated with the Garrison merger.
Excluding the Garrison transaction costs, net asset per value per share increased by 2.5% as compared to September 30th. Overall, we're very pleased where we stand from both an investment portfolio perspective, and we are comfortable with our financial position. As previously discussed, our portfolio composition continues to shift towards first lien investments and will continue to do so pro forma for the Harvest assets. Subsequent to year-end, we exited one of our CLO equity positions at fair value, further reducing our exposure to this asset class. As a percentage of our total investment portfolio pro forma for the sale, CLO securities now comprise less than 4% of our total portfolio, down from 16% when we executed the KCAP transaction. I've commented on this before, but I want to reiterate that Portman Ridge's liability structure is extremely flexible.
We have $77 million in unsecured bonds that are callable and a secure revolving credit facility that can be flexed up or down. With the Garrison merger, we now also have $252 million of par value of subordinated notes in connection with a CLO. These notes become callable in November, and during February, we made an $88 million paydown consistent with the initial Garrison investment thesis. On March 8th, 2021, Portman Ridge received a corporate investment grade rating of BBB minus with a stable outlook from Egan-Jones. We are currently assessing our options with respect to the ideal mix of debt. We would like to hold on our balance sheet relative to our assets and investment strategy going forward. Turning briefly to market conditions, as many people on this call know, market conditions gradually improved throughout the year.
We remarked last quarter we were seeing spreads tighten to nearly pre-COVID levels, which remains unchanged. We also noted that we were seeing spreads remain wider in direct loan origination market relative to liquid credit market, and this situation has also continued. Transaction volume was strong in the Q4 but has slowed down since the beginning of the year, which we note is a relatively normal pattern for our business. In addition to M&A activity, refinancing activity is robust. Repayments for the quarter were higher than typical, spurred largely by pent-up capital markets transactions during most of 2020. Looking ahead to the end of the Q1 of 2021, which will occur very shortly at this point, given current market conditions, we expect our current portfolio will continue to exhibit stable performance, and we remain focused on continuing to ensure that we cover our dividend each quarter.
Given we're at our target leverage level, we are being very discerning in terms of making new investments and continuing to avoid sectors that have been directly impacted by COVID-19. In other corporate news, we have previously discussed the $10 million stock repurchase program that we announced in March of 2020 and the 10b5-1 plan that we subsequently entered into during the summer. This program expired on March 5th, 2021, and on March 11th, 2021, the board of directors approved a new $10 million stock purchase program with substantially the same terms as the prior program. We continue to believe that buying back our stock makes sense for shareholders. We continue to be impacted by blackout periods and restrictions around some of the M&A we have done, but we will buy equity when we have windows to legally do so. And now, I'd like to make a brief introduction.
We're joined today by our new Chief Financial Officer, Jason Roos. Jason joins the company after nearly 20 years of experience in financial leadership positions, including at Wells Fargo Securities and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Jason brings to Portman Ridge a wealth of technical and controllership expertise that will help us drive the process needs within our organization as we continue to grow. We are fortunate to have someone with Jason's experience and background joining our team. With that, I will turn over the call to Jason for an overview of financial results and then Patrick Schaefer, our Chief Investment Officer, for a review of our investment activity before concluding the call with some additional remarks.
Great. Thanks, Ted. And good morning, everyone. I'm very happy to have joined the team, especially during such a dynamic time in the company's development. I look forward to getting better acquainted with all of you soon. I will now recap the financial results and our financial position for the Q4 and full year 2020. Given the Garrison merger, I wanted to take a moment to describe the impact of merger accounting to our financial statements this quarter. Under GAAP, the merger was accounted for as an asset acquisition, whereby the value of the consideration paid for the assets at Garrison resulted in a purchase price discount in the amount of approximately $40 million. This discount is a function of the accounting and setting the value of consideration paid based in part on the Portman Ridge share price at the closing date of the acquisition.
The total value of consideration paid is used to set the new cost basis in the assets acquired by allocating the value to each asset based on the relative fair value of the assets acquired upon the closing date of the transaction. This purchase price discount resulted in a one-time unrealized gain as those acquired assets were marked to their fair values immediately upon close, which is a non-cash event. This discount will accrete into net investment income over the remaining lives of the debt instruments and will be accelerated through any sales or paydowns that may occur. The discount allocated to equity instruments will be recognized in net investment income only upon a realization event such as a sale transaction. This will not have an impact on our NAV per share.
GAAP net investment income for Q4 was $8.9 million or $0.14 per share, which put our full year net investment income at $0.34 per share. Adjusting for the Garrison purchase accounting I just described, our adjusted net investment income for Q4 was $0.08 per share. This compares to net investment income of $0.06 per share in Q3. At year-end, we had total investments excluding derivatives of $488 million and net assets of $216 million or $2.88 per share compared to total investments of $279 million and net assets of $126 million or $2.85 per share in the Q3 of 2020. This marks the third straight quarter that we have increased NAV per share. The increase in NAV per share for the quarter was mainly attributable to unrealized gains across our investment portfolio, including the acquired Garrison assets.
The primary components contributing to total Q4 unrealized gains of $29 million included $24 million on our debt securities portfolio, $1.2 million in our legacy CLO equity positions, and $2.6 million on our investments and joint ventures. As Ted mentioned, we continued to observe strengthening market conditions, which resulted in the continued improvement in our valuations. On the liability side of the balance sheet, there was a substantial change from the prior quarter as we assumed the Garrison CLO in connection with the merger. As a result, we recognized $252 million in par value of senior secured notes that are due at the end of 2029. In addition to these notes, we also had $49 million in borrowings under our credit facility and $77 million in the 6.8% notes due 2022 for a total of $378 million in debt.
With respect to liquidity and unfunded commitments, our aggregate unfunded commitments stood at $32.9 million at December 31st, 2020, and we reported $7 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents with an additional $66 million of available borrowing capacity under the credit facility. As of December 31st, 2020, our debt to equity ratio was 1.7 times. From a regulatory perspective, our asset coverage ratio as of December 31st, 2020, was 156%, which is above the statutory requirement for BDCs of 150%. As Ted mentioned, during the Q1 of 2021, we repaid $88 million of the Garrison CLO debt. Our objective has been and will continue to be focused on maintaining overall leverage to a range of 1.25 to 1.4 times. In terms of distributions in 2020, we paid a consistent $0.06 per share each quarter, resulting in $0.24 per share paid for the year.
We recently announced a quarterly distribution of $0.06 on February 12th for shareholders of record on February 22nd and was paid on March 2nd. Our overarching goal is to continue to cover our distribution each quarter and keep this relationship as stable and consistent as possible. We repurchased a total of 734,403 shares of stock during the year at an average price of $1.17 per share under the stock repurchase program, which, as Ted noted, expired on March 5th, 2021, and on March 11th, 2021, the board of directors approved a new $10 million stock repurchase program under substantially the same terms. Also, as previously mentioned, on December 23rd, we announced our intention to merge with Harvest Capital Credit Corporation under the terms of the proposed transaction and, as was the case with our transactions of OHAI and Garrison.
This transaction will be done on a NAV- for- NAV basis, whereby HCAP stockholders will receive aggregate consideration equal to HCAP's net asset value at closing, consisting of newly issued shares of Portman Ridge stock valued at 100% of NAV per share. To the extent that the number of Portman Ridge shares exceeds 19.9% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Portman's pre-transaction shares, cash consideration in the amount of such excess will be paid. Based on December 31st, 2020, net asset values for Portman and September 30, 2020, for Harvest, the current excess cash amount is expected to be $15.4 million. Furthermore, HCAP stockholders will also receive an additional cash payment of $2.15 million from our investment advisor, Sierra Crest. This will result in HCAP shareholders receiving total aggregate value of approximately 104% of NAV net of estimated transaction expenses.
We remain on track with the current process and expect closing to occur in the Q2 . Finally, I'd like to note that we will be transitioning to Deloitte as our audit firm, effective as of the end of the Q1 . While we had no issues or disagreements with KPMG, the broader BC Partners organization is moving audit functions to Deloitte, and Portman Ridge is included as part of this change. We look forward to working with the Deloitte team and thank the KPMG team for their partnership with us today. With that, I would like to turn the call over to Patrick Schaefer, our Chief Investment Officer.
Thanks, Jason. The Q4 was relatively quiet for us in terms of new investment activity given the merger with Garrison and our intentions to de-risk the balance sheet following closing. During the quarter, we made investments into six borrowers, one of which was the BCP Great Lakes Joint Venture and five of which were brand new borrowers, all of which were completed alongside other BC Partners entities. In aggregate, these six investments totaled $24.2 million of face value, 88% of which were first lien securities and the remaining 12% being net add-ons to the Great Lakes Joint Venture. The weighted average spread on the new investments, excluding the Great Lakes Joint Venture, was 648 basis points. As to be expected, given both the Garrison merger and overall improvement in the capital markets, we were very active during the quarter with these positions.
In total, we exited or were repaid on 45 positions, three of which were proactive sales of legacy Garrison assets. In aggregate, these exits represented a carrying value of $135.4 million and resulted in a gain of approximately $1.1 million. Specifically related to the proactive Garrison asset sales, these 30 positions represented an aggregate carrying value of $92.4 million and resulted in a gain of approximately $0.6 million. Excluding the impact of the Garrison merger and associated purchase price accounting, as well as the reversal of previously unrecognized income on Roscoe Medical, our debt and equity securities accounted for an approximately $2.1 million unrealized gain, while CLO equity positions accounted for a $1.2 million unrealized gain, and our two joint ventures accounted for the remaining $2.6 million of unrealized gain.
On an equivalent basis, as of December 31st, Portman Ridge had 437.7 million of debt securities marked at 92.4% of par and yielding a stated spread to LIBOR of 679 basis points on accruing debt securities. This compares to 226.2 million of debt securities marked at 90.4% of par and yielding a stated spread to LIBOR of 715 basis points on accruing debt securities as of September 30th, 2020, and 165.7 million of debt securities portfolio marked at a blended price of 91.9% of par and stated spread to LIBOR of 658 basis points when Sierra Crest took over management of Portman Ridge on April 1st, 2019. Turning to slide 12, non-accruals as of December 31st, 2020, represented 2.4% of cost and 0.8% of fair value on the investment portfolio as compared to 3.2% and 1.2% respectively as of September 30th.
Eight investments were on non-accrual status as of December 31st, 2020. With that, I'll turn the call back over to Ted Goldthorpe.
Thank you, Patrick. In closing, I want to again state how pleased we are with the progress we've made with Portman Ridge. We believe we're off to a strong start in 2021 and are optimistic for more normalized operating conditions through the rest of the year. Looking ahead, we are working towards hopefully another successful closing with the Harvest Capital merger, and we expect to continue our work on portfolio integration and rotation as well. Our transactions to date have brought about significant changes to the Portman Ridge profile in terms of size, capital structure, and portfolio composition over these many months. In the long run, however, our ultimate goal remains steadfast, which is to deliver strong and sustainable risk-adjusted returns to shareholders. We believe the successful execution of these transactions are key to achieving this goal.
I'd like to thank all of our shareholders for your ongoing support and confidence in us, and I'd now like to turn it over to the operator for any questions.
Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star one on your telephone. To withdraw your question, press the pound key. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from Ryan Lynch with KBW. Your line is now open.
Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. First one I had was related to slide number five. You guys accelerated, I would say, the pace of exiting some of the legacy Garrison investments in the quarter. I assume part of that was driven by kind of the elevated leverage range, but now that you all are in kind of your targeted leverage range today, should we expect the pace of that rotation out of those Garrison assets to slow down meaningfully?
Yeah. I mean, that's a great question. I'll turn it over to Patrick, but what I would say is we spent a lot of time before these transactions close lining up asset sales, and so, as you recall, we did 40% of OHAI in the first couple of weeks, and same with Garrison. We just didn't feel comfortable with the leverage range, but we would expect to see elevated repayments and reductions in the Garrison portfolio, but nothing like we saw in the Q4 . I mean, we were very, very proactive about monetizing a big chunk of the book, and I don't think you're going to see that pace continue.
Yeah. Just to add on that, I think that's right, Ted, and the two things I would note on the Garrison portfolio is, one, it tends to be a little bit more liquid still even than our legacy Portman portfolio, so as we think about optimizing our risk return within the portfolio, theoretically, those Garrison assets might be a higher priority in terms of asset sales, and then number two, the Garrison portfolio, generally speaking, is a little bit more mature than the Portman portfolio, just given that BC Partners has been a regime in assets over the last several years, so it would be likely to expect that the Garrison portfolio would be subject to greater repayments just in the ordinary course. I don't think it would be anything intentionally strategic on our part.
Okay. Understood. And then congratulations on the investment grade rating from Egan-Jones, number one. And then on that point, longer term, I know it may look a little bit. It may be a little bit transitional with the Harvest merger coming up, but longer term, what sort of composition do you think is ideal for your liability structure in terms of unsecured debt, credit facility debt, and other pieces of debt? You guys currently have a securitization, which I think is probably going to be winding down, especially with the repayment. But just longer term, what do you see as the ideal fit for the composition of your liability structure?
Yeah. So great question, Ryan. I think we're still sorting it out a little bit. This is Patrick, by the way. I think going forward, even in the long term, unsecured bonds will remain a very integral part of our financing strategy given the flexibility that they provide. I think bigger picture, we would probably look ultimately to consolidate our revolving facility as well as the CLO liabilities in the longer term. Though we still have a fairly long reinvestment period on that CLO, so there's nothing imminent on the horizon there or that we would need to do. But I do think that's probably the area where we would look to try and consolidate from a liability side.
Okay. And the only thing I'd add, the only thing I'd add is we do have a number of near-term maturities coming up on the bond side, and we also have near-term maturities on pro forma for the Harvest transaction. There's also some near-term maturities. So this is something we're very focused on. And given where unsecured debt is pricing these days, we think we can realize significant savings for our shareholders, and it all drops the bottom line. So we've been hurt, obviously, by reductions in LIBOR or rates the last 12-18 months. So there's no reason why we shouldn't benefit from it as well by locking in cheaper liabilities as well. Okay. And then just one last one for me. How active are you guys in the market as far as deploying new capital into new portfolio companies?
Obviously, you guys have been very active on the M&A front. Deal flow was basically shut off for several quarters there in the spring and summer months, but now that that market's picking back up, how active should we expect you as far as deploying new capital given all the M&A that you guys have going on in the background?
Yeah. I mean, our primary - I mean, we had never seen the level of deal activity that we saw in the Q4 of last year, and we expect this year to be very robust as well. There's a lot of private equity activity. Most of our activity that we're seeing now is on the sponsor side. Their non-sponsored businesses continue to be consistent, I would say, but on the sponsor side, a lot of pressure on private equity firms to return capital to their investors, so a lot of portfolio companies up for sale, a lot of expedited processes, and so, yeah, I mean, the deal environment was very robust in the Q4 , and we've kind of seen it spill over into this year, so we'll see what happens.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it slow down in the next couple of quarters, but it still continues to be very active. From our perspective, we're kind of lucky. We came into this year very invested, and the benefit of that is I think you're going to see, I don't think you're going to see us massively increase our net investment activity, but our gross investment activity you'll see has picked up a lot. So a lot of our, I would say, weaker credits we're proactively trying to get refinanced out of and replace them with what we would view as higher quality credits at similar spreads. So I think we've done a really good job the last three months, probably faster than we expected of what I would call high-grade in our portfolio. We think we've taken a lot of risk out of our portfolio while maintaining spreads.
And so I don't think you're going to see—we're at a pretty elevated leverage level now, meaning we're within our range, but I don't think we want to go up that much. So I think you're going to see high gross, low net, the way I would phrase it. Patrick, do you want to add anything to that, or?
No, I think the only thing I would add is BC Partners as a platform has remained very active, so while Portman as an entity has been relatively muted given the M&A activity, our platform is still very much active and involved in the market, which makes it relatively easy to get Portman back in, so we're still maintaining our dialogues with our sponsor relationships and intermediaries and things like that, so that's just the one thing I would add.
Okay. Understood. I appreciate the time this morning. Thanks.
Thanks, Ryan.
Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star one on your telephone, and our next question comes from Christopher Nolan with Ladenburg Thalmann. Your line is now open.
Hey, guys. Ted, is it correct, I'm following up Ryan's question, that for 2021, you expect mostly improved economics from Portman Ridge to be from the restructuring of liabilities?
Yeah. I mean, we would expect to see savings to our shareholders from the various things we're going to do on the liability side over the course of the next couple of quarters.
Great. And I guess as a follow-up on Roscoe Medical, just that was cured, and that's back accruing, excuse me.
Yeah, that's correct. It started paying cash interest as of September month, and it's paying monthly cash interest. There was a bit of a timing mismatch around the accrued interest that ultimately got capitalized as part of a renegotiation in October, so it kind of bled over from Q3 into Q4. But yes, as of September month, it's accruing and paying cash interest.
Final question on operating expenses. Any sort of guidance you can give, Jason, in terms of what we should expect in terms of quarterly run rates for operating expenses?
Yeah, sure. Yeah. So you'll see Q4 is a little bit higher than normal across the operating expense profile, in part because of the professional fees. There was an uptick in that space given that Q3 was a little bit undersized given some positive negotiations we had with vendor pricing in Q3. So it's a little bit higher, an uptick there because of that. But I would expect once the M&A starts to stabilize a little bit, that number will start to come down on a run rate basis. The admin services, you'll see that ticked up a bit as well as the other G&A, in part because of, I would say, one-time expenses popping up because of the M&A activity associated with Garrison.
Just to give a little color on that, I would expect to see about 25%-30% of that come off of that increase going forward.
Great. Thank you for taking my questions.
Thank you. Once again, to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone. I'm not showing any further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the call back over to Ted Goldthorpe for closing remarks.
Again, we'd like to thank everybody for dialing in this morning, and we would like to thank our shareholders for their continuing support. And we wish everybody remains healthy and safe. And if you have any questions at all, call any member of management at any time. Thank you very much.
Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
