Important
Information
This
report is transmitted to the stockholders of Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”
or the “Company”). This report and the information and views herein do not constitute investment advice, or a recommendation
or an offer to enter into any transaction with the Company or any of its affiliates. This report is provided for informational
purposes only, does not constitute an offer to sell securities of the Company and is not a prospectus. From time to time, the
Company may have a registration statement relating to one or more of its securities on file with the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). Any registration statement that has not yet been declared effective by the SEC, and any prospectus
relating thereto, is not complete and may be changed. Any securities that are the subject of such a registration statement may
not be sold until the registration statement filed with the SEC is effective.
The
information and its contents are the property of Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and/or the Company.
Any unauthorized dissemination, copying or use of this presentation is strictly prohibited and may be in violation of law. This
presentation is being provided for informational purposes only.
Investors
should read the Company’s prospectus and SEC filings (which are publicly available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC website
at http://www.sec.gov) carefully and consider their investment goals, time horizons
and risk tolerance before investing in the Company. Investors should consider the Company’s investment objectives, risks,
charges and expenses carefully before investing in securities of the Company. There is no guarantee that any of the goals, targets
or objectives described in this report will be achieved.
An
investment in the Company is not appropriate for all investors. The investment program of the Company is speculative, entails
substantial risk and includes investment techniques not employed by traditional mutual funds. An investment in the Company is
not intended to be a complete investment program. Shares of closed-end investment companies, such as the Company, frequently trade
at a discount from their net asset value (“NAV”), which may increase investors’ risk of loss. Past performance
is not indicative of, or a guarantee of, future performance. The performance and certain other portfolio information quoted
herein represents information as of September 30, 2019. Nothing herein should be relied upon as a representation as to the future
performance or portfolio holdings of the Company. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and shares,
when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Company’s performance is subject to change since the
end of the period noted in this report and may be lower or higher than the performance data shown herein.
Neither
the Adviser nor the Company provide legal, accounting or tax advice. Any statement regarding such matters is explanatory and may
not be relied upon as definitive advice. Investors should consult with their legal, accounting and tax advisors regarding any
potential investment. The information presented herein is as of the dates noted herein and is derived from financial and other
information of the Company, and, in certain cases, from third party sources and reports (including reports of third party custodians,
CLO managers and trustees) that have not been independently verified by the Company. As noted herein, certain of this information
is estimated and unaudited, and therefore subject to change. We do not represent that such information is accurate or complete,
and it should not be relied upon as such.

The

CLO
subordinated notes and income notes are considered CLO equity positions. CLO equity positions are entitled to recurring distributions
which are generally equal to the remaining cash flow of payments made by underlying assets less contractual payments to debt
holders and fund expenses.The effective yield is estimated based upon the current projection of the amount and timing of these
recurring distributions in addition to the estimated amount of terminal principal payment.It is the Company's policy to update
the effective yield for each CLO equity position held within the Company’s portfolio at the initiation of each investment
and each subsequent quarter thereafter.The estimated yield and investment cost may ultimately not be realized. As of September
30, 2019, the Company's weighted average effective yield on its aggregate CLO equity positions, based on current amortized
cost, was 13.35%.When excluding called CLOs, the Company's weighted average effective yield on its CLO equity positions was
13.38%.
|
(8)
|
Fair
value includes the Company's interest in fee rebates on CLO subordinated and income notes.
|
(9)
|
As
of September 30, 2019, the effective yield has been estimated to be 0%. The aggregate projected amount of future recurring
distributions and terminal principal payment is less than the amortized investment cost. Future recurring distributions, once
received, will be recognized solely as return of capital until the aggregate projected amount of future recurring distributions
and terminal principal payment exceeds the amortized investment cost.
|
(10)
|
As
of September 30, 2019 the investment has been called. Expected value of residual distributions, once received, is anticipated
to be recognized as return of capital, pending any remaining amortized cost, and/or realized gain for any amounts received
in excess of such amortized cost.
|
(11)
|
For
the period ending September 30, 2019, the Company converted its CLO equity investment from subordinated notes to income notes.

the Series 2028 Notes will be carried at their fair value.

(Unaudited)
Eagle
Point Credit Company Inc. (the “Company”) is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company’s primary
investment objective is to generate high current income, with a secondary objective to generate capital appreciation. The Company
seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in equity and junior debt tranches of collateralized loan obligations
(“CLOs”) that are collateralized by a portfolio consisting primarily of below investment grade U.S. senior secured
loans with a large number of distinct underlying borrowers across various industry sectors. The Company may also invest in other
securities and instruments related to these investments or that Eagle Point Credit Management LLC (the “Adviser”)
believes are consistent with the Company’s investment objectives, including senior debt tranches of CLOs and loan accumulation
facilities (“LAFs”). From time to time, in connection with the acquisition of CLO equity, the Company may receive
fee rebates from the CLO issuer. The CLO securities in which the Company primarily seeks to invest are unrated or rated below
investment grade and are considered speculative with respect to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. The Company’s
common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “ECC.”
As
of September 30, 2019, the Company had two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Eagle Point Credit Company Sub (Cayman) Ltd. (“Sub
I”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, and Eagle Point Credit Company Sub II (Cayman) Ltd (“Sub II”), a Cayman
Islands exempted company. As of September 30, 2019, Sub I and Sub II represent 5.8% and 4.0% of the Company’s net assets,
respectively.
The
Company was initially formed on March 24, 2014 as Eagle Point Credit Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Eagle Point Credit Partners Sub Ltd., a Cayman Island exempted company (the “Sole Member”), which, in
turn, is a subsidiary of Eagle Point Credit Partners LP, a private fund managed by the Adviser.
The
Company commenced operations on June 6, 2014, the date the Sole Member contributed, at fair value, a portfolio of cash and securities
to the Company.
For
the period of June 6, 2014 to October 5, 2014, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sole Member. As of October 5,
2014, the Company had 2,500,000 units issued and outstanding, all of which were held by the Sole Member.
On
October 6, 2014, the Company converted from a Delaware limited liability company into a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”).
At the time of the Conversion, the Sole Member became a stockholder of Eagle Point Credit Company Inc. In connection with the
Conversion, the Sole Member converted 2,500,000 units of the Delaware limited liability company into shares of common stock in
the Delaware corporation at $20 per share, resulting in 8,656,057 shares and an effective conversion rate of 3.4668 shares per
unit. On October 7, 2014, the Company priced its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and sold an additional 5,155,301
shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $20 per share. On October 8, 2014, the Company’s shares began trading
on the NYSE.
On
July 20, 2016, the Company entered into a custody agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”),
pursuant to which the Company’s portfolio of securities are held by Wells Fargo.
The
Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for federal income tax purposes.
The
Adviser is the investment adviser of the Company and manages the investments of the Company subject to the supervision of the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Eagle Point
Administration LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser, is the administrator of the Company (the “Administrator”).

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Basis
of Accounting
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts
have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company is considered an investment company under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company follows the accounting and reporting guidance
applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. Items included in the consolidated financial
statements are measured and presented in United States dollars.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
which affect the reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of the reporting
date. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Valuation
of Investments
The
most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the valuation of investments.
In the absence of readily determinable fair values, fair value of the Company’s investments is determined in accordance
with the Company’s valuation policy. Due to the uncertainty of valuation, this estimate may differ significantly from the
value that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
There
is no single method for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires judgment be applied
to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process
for the types of investments held by the Company.
The
Company accounts for its investments in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and fair values its investment portfolio in accordance with
the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. Investments are reflected
in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Fair value is the estimated amount that would be received to sell an asset,
or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit
price). The Company’s fair valuation process is reviewed and approved by the Board.
The
fair value hierarchy prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value.
Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, the characteristics specific
to the investment and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants).
Investments with readily available actively quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices
in an orderly market, will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in
measuring fair value.
Investments
measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories based on inputs:
|
·
|
Level
I – Observable, quoted prices for identical investments in active markets as
of the reporting date.
|
|
·
|
Level
II – Quoted prices for similar investments in active markets or quoted prices
for identical investments in markets that are not active as of the reporting date.
|
|
·
|
Level
III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and little, if any,
active market exists as of the reporting date. Fair value inputs require significant
judgment or estimation from the Adviser.

In
certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the
determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given investment is based on the lowest
level of input significant to that fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair
value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the investment.
Investments
for which observable, quoted prices in active markets do not exist are reported at fair value based on Level III inputs. The amount
determined to be fair value may incorporate the Adviser’s own assumptions (including assumptions the Adviser believes market
participants would use in valuing investments and assumptions relating to appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and
lack of marketability), as provided for in the Company’s valuation policy and accepted by the Board.
An
estimate of fair value is made for each investment at least monthly taking into account information available as of the reporting
date. For financial reporting purposes, valuations are determined by the Board on a quarterly basis.
See
Note 3 “Investments” for further discussion relating to the Company’s investments.
In
valuing the Company’s investments in CLO debt, CLO equity and LAFs, the Adviser considers a variety of relevant factors,
including price indications from multiple dealers, or as applicable, a third-party pricing service, recent trading prices for
specific investments, recent purchases and sales known to the Adviser in similar securities and output from a third-party financial
model. The third-party financial model contains detailed information on the characteristics of CLOs, including recent information
about assets and liabilities, and is used to project future cash flows. Key inputs to the model, including assumptions for future
loan default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and discount rates are determined by considering both
observable and third-party market data and prevailing general market assumptions and conventions as well as those of the Adviser.
The
Company engages a third-party independent valuation firm as an input to the Company’s valuation of the fair value of its
investments in CLO equity. The valuation firm’s advice is only one factor considered in the valuation of such investments,
and the Board does not rely on such advice in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments in accordance with
the 1940 Act.
Other
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities at Fair Value
The
Fair Value Option (“FVO”) under FASB ASC Subtopic 825-10 Fair Value Option (“ASC 825”) allows companies
an irrevocable election to use fair value as the initial and subsequent accounting measurement for certain financial assets and
liabilities. The decision to elect the FVO is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis and must be applied to an entire
instrument. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be reported separately from those instruments measured
using another accounting method and changes in fair values attributable to instrument-specific credit risk on financial liabilities for
which the FVO is elected are required to be presented separately in other comprehensive income. Additionally, upfront offering
costs related to such instrument are recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.
The
Company elected to account for its 6.6875% Unsecured Notes due 2028 (the “Series 2028 Notes”) utilizing the FVO under
ASC 825. The primary reasons for electing the FVO are to reflect economic events in the same
period in which they are incurred and address simplification of reporting and presentation.
Investment
Income Recognition
Interest
income from investments in CLO debt is recorded using the accrual basis of accounting to the extent such amounts are expected
to be collected. Amortization of premium or accretion of discount is recognized using the effective interest method. The Company
has applied the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”) in calculating amortization
of premium for purchased CLO debt securities.

CLO
equity investments and fee rebates recognize investment income for U.S. GAAP purposes on the accrual basis utilizing an effective
interest methodology based upon an effective yield to maturity utilizing projected cash flows. ASC Topic 325-40, Beneficial
Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, requires investment income from CLO equity investments and fee rebates to be recognized
under the effective interest method, with any difference between cash distributed and the amount calculated pursuant to the effective
interest method being recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of the investment. It is the Company’s policy to update
the effective yield for each CLO equity position held within the Company’s portfolio at the initiation of each investment
and each subsequent quarter thereafter.
LAFs
recognize interest income according to the guidance noted in ASC Topic 325-40-35-1, Beneficial
Interest in Securitized Financial Assets, which states that the holder of a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets
shall determine interest income over the life of the beneficial interest in accordance with the effective interest method, provided
such amounts are expected to be collected.
Other
Income
Other
income includes the Company’s share of income under the terms of fee rebate agreements.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense includes the Company’s distributions associated with its 7.75% Series A Term Preferred Stock due 2022 (the “Series
A Term Preferred Stock”) and its 7.75% Series B Term Preferred Stock due 2026 (the “Series B Term Preferred Stock,”
and collectively with the Series A Term Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), and interest, paid and accrued, associated
with its 6.75% Unsecured Notes due 2027 (the “Series 2027 Notes”), and its Series 2028 Notes, collectively with the
Series 2027 Notes, the “Unsecured Notes”).
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred a total of $5,281,350 in interest expense on its Preferred Stock,
of which, $0 was payable as of September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred a total
of $5,048,421 in interest expense on the Unsecured Notes, of which $0 was payable as of September 30, 2019.
Interest
expense also includes the Company’s amortization of deferred issuance costs associated with its Preferred Stock and certain
Unsecured Notes, as well as amortization of original issue discounts and accretion of premiums associated with its Series B Term
Preferred Stock.
See
Note 6 “Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock” and Note 7 “Unsecured Notes” for further discussion relating
to Preferred Stock issuances and Unsecured Notes issuances, respectively.
Deferred
Issuance Costs
Deferred
issuance costs on liabilities, which the Company does not measure at fair value under the FVO, consist of fees and expenses incurred
in connection with the issuance of Preferred Stock and certain Unsecured Notes, as well as unamortized original issue discounts
and premiums. The deferred issuance costs are capitalized at the time of issuance and amortized using the effective interest method
over the respective terms of the Preferred Stock and certain Unsecured Notes. Amortization of deferred issuance costs is reflected
in interest expense on Preferred Stock and interest expense on certain Unsecured Note balances in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations. In the event of an early redemption of the Preferred Stock or certain Unsecured Notes, the remaining balance of unamortized
deferred issuance costs associated with such Preferred Stock or certain Unsecured Notes will be accelerated into net realized
gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Securities
Transactions
The
Company records the purchases and sales of securities on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded
on the basis of the specific identification method.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less from the date of purchase. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts, which, at times, may exceed federal
insured limits. The Adviser monitors the performance of the financial institution where the accounts are held in order to manage
any risk associated with such accounts. The Company held $24,994,141 in cash equivalent balances as of September 30, 2019.
Foreign
Currency
The
Company does not isolate the portion of its results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments
from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market price of such investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net
change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, foreign currency and cash equivalents. Reported net realized
foreign exchange gains or losses may arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade
and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends and interest income recorded
on the Company’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received.
Expense
Recognition
Expenses
are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting.
Prepaid
Expenses
Prepaid
expenses consist primarily of insurance premiums, filing fees, shelf registration expenses and at-the-market (“ATM”)
program expenses. Insurance premiums are amortized over the term of the current policy. Shelf registration expenses and ATM program
expenses represent fees and expenses incurred in connection with maintaining the Company’s shelf registration and ATM program
that have not been allocated to date.
Federal
and Other Taxes
The
Company intends to continue to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under subchapter M of the Code and, as such, to not
be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders. To qualify for RIC
tax treatment, among other requirements, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable
income, as defined by the Code.
Because
U.S. federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net
investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent
differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary
differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain or loss are recognized at some time in the future. Differences in
classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The
tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities
due to temporary book/tax differences arising primarily from partnerships and passive foreign investment company investments.
As
of September 30, 2019, the federal income tax cost and net unrealized depreciation on securities
were as follows:

Distributions
The
composition of distributions paid to common stockholders from net investment income and capital gains are determined in accordance
with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions to common stockholders are comprised of net
investment income, realized gains or losses and return of capital for either U.S. federal income tax or U.S. GAAP purposes and
are intended to be paid monthly. Distributions paid to common stockholders are recorded as a liability on record date and, unless
a common stockholder opts out of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”), are automatically reinvested
in full shares of the Company as of the payment date, pursuant to the DRIP. The Company’s common stockholders who opt-out
of participation in the DRIP (including those common stockholders whose shares are held through a broker who has opted out of
participation in the DRIP) will receive all distributions in cash.
In
addition to the regular monthly distributions, and subject to available taxable earnings of the Company, the Company may make
periodic special distributions. A special distribution represents the excess of the Company’s net taxable income over the
Company’s aggregate monthly distributions paid during the year.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company declared and paid distributions on
common stock of $44,865,666 or $1.80 per share.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company declared and paid dividends on the
Series A Term Preferred Stock of $2,201,493 or approximately $1.45 per share.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company declared and paid dividends on the
Series B Term Preferred Stock of $2,738,754 or approximately $1.45 per share.
The
characterization of distributions paid to common stockholders, as set forth in the Financial Highlights, reflect estimates made
by the Company for federal income tax purposes. Such estimates are subject to change once the final determination of the source
of all distributions has been made by the Company.

Valuation
of CLO Equity
The
Adviser gathers price indications from dealers, if available, as part of its valuation process as an input to estimate fair value
of each CLO equity investment. Dealer price indications are not firm bids and may not be representative of the actual value where
trades can be consummated. In addition, the Adviser utilizes a third-party financial model as an input to estimate the fair value
of CLO equity investments. The model contains detailed information on the characteristics of each CLO, including recent information
about assets and liabilities from data sources such as trustee reports, and is used to project future cash flows to the CLO note
tranches, as well as management fees.
The
following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for investments categorized in Level III of the fair value
hierarchy as of September 30, 2019. In addition to the techniques and inputs noted in the table below, the Adviser may use other
valuation techniques and methodologies when determining the Company’s fair value measurements as provided for in the valuation
policy approved by the Board. The table below is not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provides information on the significant
Level III inputs as they relate to the Company’s fair value measurements as of September 30, 2019.

(decreases) in the constant default rate, reinvestment price and yield to maturity in isolation would result in a lower (higher)
fair value measurement. Increases (decreases) in the reinvestment spread and recovery rate in isolation would result in a higher
(lower) fair value measurement. Changes in the constant prepayment rate may result in a higher (lower) fair value, depending on
the circumstances. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the constant default rate may be accompanied by a directionally
opposite change in the assumption used for the constant prepayment rate and recovery rate.
The
Adviser categorizes CLO equity as Level III investments. Certain pricing inputs may be unobservable. An active market may exist,
but not necessarily for investments the Company holds as of the reporting date. Additionally, unadjusted dealer quotes, when obtained
for valuation purposes, are indicative.
Certain
of the Company’s Level III investments have been valued using unadjusted inputs that have not been internally developed
by the Adviser, including third-party transactions, indicative broker quotations and data reported by trustees. As a result, fair
value assets of $8,371,156 have been excluded from the preceding table.
Valuation
of CLO Debt
The
Company’s investments in CLO debt have been valued using an independent pricing service. The valuation methodology of the
independent pricing service includes incorporating data comprised of observable market transactions, executable bids, broker quotes
from dealers with two sided markets, as well as transaction activity from comparable securities to those being valued. As the
independent pricing service contemplates real time market data and no unobservable inputs or significant judgement has been used
by the Adviser in the valuation of the Company’s investment in CLO debt, such positions are considered Level II assets.
Valuation
of Loan Accumulation Facilities
The
Adviser determines the fair value of LAFs in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures utilizing the income approach as noted in ASC 820-10-55-3F, which measures fair value to reflect current market
expectations about the receipt of future amounts (i.e. exit price). LAFs are typically short- to medium-term in nature and
formed to acquire loans on an interim basis that are expected to form part of a specific CLO transaction. Pursuant to LAF
governing documents, loans acquired by the LAF are typically required to be transferred to the contemplated CLO transaction
at original cost plus accrued interest. In such situations, because the LAF will receive its full cost basis in the
underlying loan assets, the Adviser determines the fair value of the LAF as follows: (A) the cost of the Company’s
investment (i.e., the principal amount invested), and (B) to the extent the LAF has realized gains (losses) on its underlying
loan assets which are reported by the Trustee during the applicable reporting period, its attributable portion of such
realized gains (losses).
In
certain circumstances, the LAF documents can contemplate transferring the underlying loans at a price other than original cost
plus accrued interest or the Adviser may determine that, despite the initial expectation that a CLO transaction would result from
a LAF, such a transaction is in fact unlikely to occur and, accordingly, it is unlikely the loans held by the LAF will be transferred
at cost. Rather, the loans held by the LAF will likely

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
transact
at market value. In such situations, the fair value of the LAF is most appropriately determined by reference to the market value
of the LAF’s underlying loans, which is reflective of the price at which the LAF could sell its loan assets in an orderly
transaction between market participants. As such, in these situations, the Adviser will continue utilizing the income approach
as noted in ASC 820-10-55-3F and determine the fair value of the LAF as follows: (A) the cost of the Company’s investment
(i.e., the principal amount invested), (B) the Company’s attributable portion of the unrealized gain (loss) on the LAF’s
underlying loan assets, and (C) to the extent the LAF has realized gains (losses) on its underlying loan assets which are reported
by the Trustee during the applicable reporting period, its attributable portion of such realized gains (losses). The Adviser’s
measure of the Company’s attributable portion of the unrealized gain (loss) on the LAF’s underlying loan assets takes
into account the Adviser’s current market expectations of the receipt of future amounts on such assets, which may be impacted
by various factors including any applicable change in market conditions or new information.
The
Adviser categorizes LAFs as Level III investments. There is no active market and prices are unobservable.

Investment
Risk Factors and Concentration of Investments
The
following list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the potential risks associated with the Company. The Company’s
prospectus provides a detailed discussion of the Company’s risks and considerations. The
risks described in the prospectus are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known
to the Company or that are currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect its business, financial
condition and/or operating results.
Market
Risk
Certain
events particular to each market in which the Company’s investments conduct operations, as well as general economic and
political conditions, may have a significant negative impact on the operations and profitability of the Company’s investments
and/or on the fair value of the Company’s investments. Such events are beyond the Company’s control, and the likelihood
they may occur and the potential effect on the Company cannot be predicted.
Concentration
Risk
The
Company is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Company can invest a greater portion
of its assets in obligations of a single issuer than a “diversified” fund. The Company may therefore be more susceptible
than a diversified fund to being adversely affected by any single corporate, economic, political or regulatory occurrence.
Liquidity
Risk
The
securities issued by CLOs generally offer less liquidity than below investment grade or high-yield corporate debt, and are subject
to certain transfer restrictions imposed on certain financial and other eligibility requirements on prospective transferees. Other
investments the Company may purchase through privately negotiated transactions may also be illiquid or subject to legal restrictions
on their transfer. As a result of this illiquidity, the Company’s ability to sell certain investments quickly, or at all,
in response to changes in economic and other conditions and to receive a fair price when selling such investments may be limited,
which could prevent the Company from making sales to mitigate losses on such investments.
Risks
of Investing in CLOs
The
Company’s investments consist in part of CLO securities and the Company may invest in other related structured finance securities.
CLOs and structured finance securities are generally backed by an asset or a pool of assets (typically senior secured loans and
other credit-related assets in the case of a CLO) which serve as collateral. The Company and other investors in CLO and structured
finance securities ultimately bear the credit risk of the
Eagle Point
Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2019
(Unaudited)
underlying
collateral. If there are defaults or the relevant collateral otherwise underperforms,
scheduled payments to senior tranches of such securities take precedence over those of
mezzanine tranches, and scheduled payments to mezzanine tranches take precedence over
those to subordinated/equity tranches. Therefore, CLO and other structured finance securities
may present risks similar to those of the other types of debt obligations and, in fact,
such risks may be of greater significance in the case of CLO and other structured finance
securities. In addition to the general risks associated with investing in debt securities,
CLO securities carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (1) the possibility
that distributions from collateral assets will not be adequate to make interest or other
payments; (2) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (3) the
fact that investments in CLO equity and junior debt tranches will likely be subordinate
to other senior classes of CLO debt; and (4) the complex structure of the security may
not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer
or unexpected investment results.
Risks
of Investing in Loan Accumulation Facilities
The
Company invests in LAFs, which are short- to medium-term facilities often provided by the bank that will serve as placement agent
or arranger on a CLO transaction and which acquire loans on an interim basis which are expected to form part of the portfolio
of a future CLO. Investments in LAFs have risks similar to those applicable to investments in CLOs.
Interest
Rate Risk
The
fair value of certain investments held by the Company may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates. Although senior
secured loans are generally floating rate instruments, the Company’s investments in senior secured loans through CLOs are
sensitive to interest rate levels and volatility. Although CLOs are generally structured to mitigate the risk of interest rate
mismatch, there may be some difference between the timing of interest rate resets on the assets and liabilities of a CLO. Such
a mismatch could have a negative effect on the amount of funds distributed to CLO equity investors. In addition, in the event
of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, loan defaults may increase and result in credit losses
which may adversely affect the Company’s cash flow, fair value of its assets and operating results.
LIBOR
Risk
The
CLOs in which the Company invests typically obtain financing at a floating rate based on LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the FCA
announced that it will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR rates after 2021 (the
“FCA Announcement”). The FCA Announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis (or at
all) cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021 and that planning a transition to alternative reference rates that are
based firmly on transactions, such as reformed Sterling Over Night Index Average (“SONIA”) must begin.
Furthermore, in the United States, efforts to identify a set of alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rates include
proposals by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York. On June 22, 2017, the ARRC identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), a
broad U.S. treasuries repo financing rate to be published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as the rate that, in the
consensus view of the ARRC, represented best practice for use in certain new U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial
contracts. The first publication of SOFR was released in April 2018. Although there have been a few issuances utilizing SONIA
and SOFR, it remains in question whether or not these alternative reference rates will attain market acceptance as
replacements for LIBOR.
At
this time, it is not possible to predict the effect of the FCA Announcement or other regulatory changes or announcements, the
establishment of SOFR, SONIA or any other alternative reference rates or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the
United Kingdom, the United States or elsewhere. As such, the potential effect of any such event on the Company’s net investment
income cannot yet be determined. As LIBOR is currently being reformed, investors should be aware that: (a) any changes to LIBOR
could affect the level of the published rate, including to cause it to be lower and/or more volatile than it would otherwise be;
(b) if the applicable rate of interest on any CLO security is calculated with reference to a tenor which is discontinued, such
rate of interest will then be determined by the provisions of the affected CLO security, which may include determination by the
relevant calculation agent in its discretion; (c) the administrator of LIBOR will not have any involvement in the CLOs or loans
and may take any actions in respect of LIBOR without regard to the effect of
Eagle Point
Credit Company Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2019
(Unaudited)
such
actions on the CLOs or loans; and (d) any uncertainty in the value of LIBOR or, the development
of a widespread market view that LIBOR has been manipulated or any uncertainty in the
prominence of LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate due to the recent regulatory reform
may adversely affect the liquidity of the securities in the secondary market and their
market value. Any of the above or any other significant change to the setting of LIBOR
could have a material adverse effect on the value of, and the amount payable under, (i)
any underlying asset of the CLO which pay interest linked to a LIBOR rate and (ii) the
CLO securities in which the Company invest.
If
LIBOR is eliminated as a benchmark rate, it is uncertain whether broad replacement conventions in the CLO markets will develop
and, if conventions develop, what those conventions will be and whether they will create adverse consequences for the issuer or
the holders of CLO securities.
Low
Interest Rate Environment
As
of the date of the consolidated financial statements, interest rates in the United States remain relatively low, which may increase
the Company’s exposure to risks associated with rising interest rates. Moreover, interest rate levels are currently impacted
by extraordinary monetary policy initiatives, the effect of which is impossible to predict with certainty.
Leverage
Risk
The
Company has incurred leverage through the issuances of the Preferred Stock and the Unsecured Notes, and the Company may incur
additional leverage, directly or indirectly, through one or more special purpose vehicles, including indebtedness for borrowed
money and leverage in the form of derivative transactions, additional shares of preferred stock and other structures and instruments,
in significant amounts and on terms the Adviser and the Board deem appropriate, subject to applicable limitations under the 1940
Act. Such leverage may be used for the acquisition and financing of the Company’s investments, to pay fees and expenses
and for other purposes. Any such leverage does not include embedded or inherent leverage in CLO structures in which the Company
invests or in derivative instruments in which the Company may invest. Accordingly, there may be a layering of leverage in overall
structure. The more leverage is employed, the more likely a substantial change will occur in the Company’s net asset value
(“NAV”). For instance, any decrease in the Company’s income would cause net income to decline more sharply than
it would have had the Company not borrowed. In addition, any event adversely affecting the value of an investment would be magnified
to the extent leverage is utilized.
Highly
Subordinated and Leveraged Securities Risk
The
Company’s portfolio includes equity and junior debt investments in CLOs, which involve a number of significant risks. CLO
equity and junior debt securities are typically very highly leveraged (with CLO equity securities typically being leveraged nine
to thirteen times), and therefore the junior debt and equity tranches in which the Company is currently invested are subject to
a higher degree of risk of total loss.
Credit
Risk
If
a CLO in which the Company invests, an underlying asset of any such CLO or any other type of credit investment in the Company’s
portfolio declines in price or fails to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer or debtor, as the case may be, experiences
a decline in its financial status either or both the Company’s income and NAV may be adversely impacted. Non-payment would
result in a reduction of the Company’s income, a reduction in the value of the applicable CLO security or other credit investment
experiencing non-payment and, potentially, a decrease in the Company’s NAV. To the extent the credit rating assigned to
a security in the Company’s portfolio is downgraded, the market price and liquidity of such security may be adversely affected.
In addition, if a CLO triggers an event of default as a result of failing to make payments when due or for other reasons, the
CLO would be subject to the possibility of liquidation, which could result in full loss of value to the CLO equity and junior
debt investors. CLO equity tranches are the most likely tranche to suffer a loss of all of their value in these circumstances.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
Investment
Adviser
On
June 6, 2014, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, which was amended and restated on May
16, 2017 (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser
a management fee and an incentive fee for its services.
The
management fee is calculated and payable quarterly, in arrears, at an annual rate equal to 1.75% of the Company’s “total
equity base.” “Total equity base” means the net asset value attributable to the common stock and the paid-in,
or stated, capital of the Preferred Stock. The management fee is calculated based on the “total equity base” at the
end of the most recently completed calendar quarter end, and, with respect to any common stock or preferred stock issued or repurchased
during such quarter, is adjusted to reflect the number of days during such quarter that such common stock and/or preferred stock,
if any, was outstanding. The management fee for any partial quarter is pro-rated (based on the number of days actually elapsed
at the end of such partial quarter relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter). The Company was charged management
fees of $5,320,663 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $1,638,386 of which was
payable as of September 30, 2019.
The
incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly, in arrears, based on the pre-incentive fee net investment income (the “PNII”)
of the Company for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, PNII means interest income, dividend income and
any other income (including any other fees, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other
fees the Company receives from an investment) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses
for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement (as defined below) and
any interest expense and distributions paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock or debt, but excluding the incentive
fee). PNII includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments
with payment in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. PNII
does not include any realized or unrealized capital gains or realized or unrealized capital losses. The portion of incentive fee
that is attributable to deferred interest (such as payment-in-kind interest or original issue discount) will be paid to the Adviser,
without interest, only if and to the extent the Company actually receives such deferred interest in cash, and any accrual thereof
will be reversed if and to the extent such interest is reversed in connection with any write-off or similar treatment of the investment
giving rise to any deferred interest accrual.
PNII,
expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding
calendar quarter, is compared to a hurdle rate of 2.00% per quarter. The Company pays the Adviser an incentive fee with
respect to the Company’s PNII in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in
which the Company’s PNII does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.00%; (2) 100% of the Company’s PNII with respect to
that portion of such PNII, if any, exceeding the hurdle rate but equal to or less than 2.50% in any calendar quarter; and (3)
20% of the amount of the Company’s PNII, if any, exceeding 2.50% in any calendar quarter. The Company incurred
incentive fees of $6,652,035 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $2,817,657 of which was payable as of September
30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Adviser has voluntarily waived a portion of the incentive fee in
the amount of $107,543. The waived incentive fee is not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.
Administrator
Effective
June 6, 2014, the Company entered into an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) with the Administrator,
an affiliate of the Adviser. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or arranges for the performance
of, the Company’s required administrative services, which include being responsible for the financial records which the
Company is required to maintain and preparing reports which are disseminated to the Company’s stockholders. In addition,
the Administrator provides the Company with accounting services, assists the Company in determining and publishing its net asset
value, oversees the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns, monitors the Company’s compliance with tax
laws and regulations, and prepares and assists the Company with any audits by an independent public accounting firm of
Eagle Point

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
September

(Unaudited)
the consolidated
financial statements. The Administrator is also responsible for printing and disseminating reports to the Company’s stockholders
and maintaining the Company’s website, providing support to investor relations, generally overseeing the payment of the
Company’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others, and
providing such other administrative services as the Company may from time to time designate.
Payments
under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount based upon the Company’s allocable portion of the Administrator’s
overhead in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with
performing compliance functions and the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of the Company’s chief compliance
officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer and the Company’s allocable portion of the compensation of any
related support staff. The Company’s allocable portion of such compensation is based on an allocation of the time
spent on the Company relative to other matters. To the extent the Administrator outsources any of its functions, the Company pays
the fees on a direct basis, without profit to the Administrator. Certain accounting and other administrative services have been
delegated by the Administrator to SS&C Technologies, Inc. (“SS&C”). The Administration Agreement may be terminated
by the Company without penalty upon not less than sixty days’ written notice to the Administrator and by the Administrator
upon not less than ninety days’ written notice to the Company. The Administration Agreement is approved by the Board, including
by a majority of the Company’s independent directors, on an annual basis.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company was charged a total of $693,995 in
administration fees consisting of $516,541 and $177,454, relating to services provided by the Administrator and SS&C, respectively,
which are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and, of which $152,202 was payable as of September 30, 2019.
Affiliated
Ownership
As
of September 30, 2019, the Adviser and senior investment team held an aggregate of 5.8% of the Company’s common stock, 0.5%
of the Series A Term Preferred Stock and 0.01% of the Series B Term Preferred Stock. This represented 5.2% of the total outstanding
voting stock of the Company as of September 30, 2019. Additionally, the senior investment team held an aggregate of 0.2% of the
Series 2028 Notes as of September 30, 2019. The Advisor and senior investment team did not hold any of the Series 2027 Notes as

The
Company has accounted for its Series 2028 Notes utilizing the FVO under ASC 825. Accordingly,
the Series 2028 Notes are measured at fair value under the FVO.
The
estimated change in fair value of the Series 2028 Notes attributable to market risk for the nine months ended September 30, 2019
is $1,594,201, which is recorded as unrealized appreciation on liabilities at fair value under the fair value option on the Consolidated
Statement of Operations.
The
estimated change in fair value of the Series 2028 Notes attributable to instrument-specific credit risk for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019 is $2,819,214 which is recorded as unrealized appreciation on liabilities at fair value under the fair value
option on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company defines the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific
credit risk as the excess of the total change in fair value over the change in fair value attributable to changes in a base market
rate, such as the 10-Year Markit CDX North America Investment Grade Index.
See
Note 8 “Asset Coverage” for further discussion on the Company’s calculation of asset coverage with respect to
its Unsecured Notes.
Under
the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Company is permitted to issue senior securities, including debt securities and preferred stock,
and borrow from banks or other financial institutions, provided that the Company satisfies certain asset coverage requirements.
With
respect to senior securities that are stocks, such as the Preferred Stock, the Company is required to have asset coverage of at
least 200%, as measured at the time of the issuance of any such senior securities that are stocks and calculated as the ratio
of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities,
over the aggregate amount of the Company’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness plus the aggregate liquidation
preference of any outstanding shares of senior securities that are stocks.
With
respect to senior securities representing indebtedness, such as the Unsecured Notes or any bank borrowings (other than temporary
borrowings as defined under the 1940 Act), the Company is required to have asset coverage of at least 300%, as measured at the
time of borrowing and calculated as the ratio of the Company’s total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness
not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Company’s outstanding senior securities representing
indebtedness.
If
the Company’s asset coverage declines below 300% (or 200%, as applicable), the Company would be prohibited under the
1940 Act from incurring additional debt or issuing additional preferred stock and from making certain distributions to its
stockholders. In addition, the terms of the Preferred Stock and the Unsecured Notes require the Company to redeem shares of
the Preferred Stock and/or a certain principal amount of the Unsecured Notes, if such failure to maintain the applicable
asset coverage is not cured by a certain date.

The asset coverage per unit figure is the ratio of the Company's total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate dollar amount of outstanding applicable senior securities, as calculated separately for each of the Preferred Stock (prior to 2016, the Series A Term Preferred Stock only) and the Unsecured Notes in accordance with section 18(h) of the 1940 Act. With respect to the Preferred Stock, the asset coverage per unit figure is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per share of outstanding preferred stock (based on a per share liquidation preference of $25.) With respect to the Unsecured Notes, the asset coverage per unit figure is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per $1,000 principal amount of such notes.
|
|
(2)
|
The involuntary liquidating preference per unit is the amount to which a share of Preferred Stock would be entitled in preference to any security junior to it upon our involuntary liquidation.
|
|
(3)
|
The average market value
per unit is calculated by taking the average of the closing price of each of (a) a share of the Preferred Stock (NYSE: ECCA, ECCB)
(prior to 2016, the Series A Term Preferred Stock only) and (b) $25 principal amount of the Unsecured Notes (NYSE: ECCX, ECCY,
ECCZ) for each day during the period ended September 30, 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2018 (ECCX new issuance included
as of April 30, 2018; ECCZ included through date of full redemption on May 22, 2018), December 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and
December 31, 2015, for which the applicable security was listed on the NYSE.

RECENT
ACCOUNTING AND TAX PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
In
August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”) related to FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair
Value Measurement and Disclosures– Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13
eliminates, amends, and adds to the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820. The amendments are
designed to provide more decision useful information to financial statement users. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of
applying this provision.
On
October 1, 2019, the Company declared three separate distributions of $0.20 per share on its common stock. The first distribution
of $5,432,816 or $0.20 per share was paid on October 31, 2019 to holders of record as of October 11, 2019. The additional distributions
are payable on each of November 29, 2019 and December 31, 2019 to holders of record as of November 12, 2019 and December 12, 2019,
respectively.
On
October 1, 2019, the Company declared three separate distributions of $0.161459 per share on its Series A Term Preferred Stock
and three separate distributions of $0.161459 per share on its Series B Term Preferred Stock. The first distributions were paid
on October 31, 2019 to holders of record as of October 11, 2019. The additional distributions are payable on each of November
29, 2019 and December 31, 2019 to holders of record as of November 12, 2019 and December 12, 2019, respectively.
For
the period of October 1, 2019 to November 18, 2019, the Company sold 682,814 shares of its common stock and 0 shares of its Series
B Term Preferred Stock, pursuant to the ATM offering for total net proceeds to the Company of approximately $10.3 million.
Management
of the Company has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date of
release of this report. Management has determined there are no events in addition to those described above which would require
adjustment to or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements and related notes through the date of release of this report.

Per share distributions
paid to preferred stockholders and the aggregate amount of amortized deferred issuance costs associated with the Preferred Stock
are reflected in net investment income, and totaled ($0.20) and ($0.01) per share of common stock, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2019, ($0.33) and ($0.02) per share of common stock, respectively, for the year ended December 31,
2018, ($0.40) and ($0.02) per share of common stock, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2017, ($0.28) and ($0.02) per
share of common stock, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2016 and ($0.16) and ($0.01) per share of common stock, respectively,
for the year ended December 31, 2015.

|
Per share amounts are based
on weighted average of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.

|
Net realized gain (loss)
and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, foreign currency and cash equivalents includes a balancing
figure to reconcile to the change in net asset value (“NAV”) per share at the end of the period. The amount per share
may not agree with the change in the aggregate net realized gain (loss) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
investments, foreign currency and cash equivalents for the period because of the timing of issuance of the Company’s common
stock in relation to fluctuating market values for the portfolio.
