Details of the issue are here.

While Gladstone Investment Corp is not a quality BDC we will be buying this issue for the model.  Remember that BDC’s must maintain specific leverage ratios.  They must maintain net assets equal to 200% or more of their preferred stock redemption costs.  Thus the entire portfolio is available to preferred and/or debt holders while holders of the common are last in line (as usual).  This gives an added level of safety to BDC’s (and all closed end fund preferred stocks) that a typical corporation doesn’t offer.
