Statement of Facts
1. PMC is a registered, closed-end, diversified, management
investment company. On June 24, 1993, PMC filed a Notification of
Registration on form N-8A pursuant to section 8(a) of the Act and a
registration statement on form N-1A under section 8(b) of the Act. On
June 28, 1983, PMC filed a registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933. The registration statement became effective on November
23, 1993.
2. PMC is organized as a corporation under the laws of the state of
Florida and has its principal place of business in the state of Texas.
3. Section 54(a) of the Act provides that any company that
satisfies the definition of a BDC under section 2(a)(48)(A) and (B) may
elect to be subject to the provisions of sections 55 through 65 and be
regulated as a BDC by filing with the SEC a notification of such
election, if such company: (i) has a class of its equity securities
registered under section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
```Exchange Act''); or (i) has filed a registration statement pursuant
to section 12 of the Exchange Act for a class of its equity securities.
4. On June 7, 1994, PMC elected BDC status by filing a form N-54A.
5. Section 8(f) of the Act permits the SEC to deregister a
registered investment company on its own motion if it finds that the
company has ceased to be an investment company.
6. Section 8 of the Act, requiring registration of investment
companies, does not apply to BDCs. After an existing registered
investment company has filed an election to be regulated as a BDC, the
SEC on its own motion will declare by order under section 8(f) that the
company's registration under the Act has ceased to be in effect. Such
an order will be made effective retroactively, as of the time the SEC
received the company's election.\1\
