Palmer Square is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that primarily lends to and invests in corporate debt securities, including small to large private U.S. companies, and has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Palmer Square's investment objective is to maximize total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. Palmer Square's current investment focus is guided by two strategies that facilitate its investment opportunities and core competencies: (1) investing in corporate debt securities and, to a lesser extent, (2) investing in collateralized loan obligation structured credit funds, or "CLOs", that typically own corporate debt securities, including in the equity and junior debt tranches of CLOs. Palmer Square may also receive warrants or other rights to acquire equity or similar securities or otherwise purchase such securities in connection with making a debt investment in a company.
