From an investment rating perspective, our portfolio experienced two loan upgrades and zero downgrades, as well as no new non-accruing loans recorded during the quarter. On the new origination front, we remained active, committing $66.3 million in originations to both new and existing portfolio companies. We are also pleased to announce Pre-Tax Net Investment Income of $0.44 per share. We recently announced a Regular Dividend of $0.41 per share for the quarter, as well as an additional $0.10 per share funded by our large UTI (undistributed taxable income) balance. Total dividends of $0.51 per share for the quarter were flat from the prior quarter. We continued to be active in the capital markets, issuing $50 million in aggregate principal of 5.375% Notes due 2024 at par. We continue the process toward receiving a license from the U.S. Small Business Administration, submitting our final license application during the quarter. We are hopeful that we will receive formal license approval by the end of this calendar year. This license will allow us to access $175 million in long term, cost effective debt capital to deploy in our lower middle market strategy. This would clearly be a major milestone for Capital Southwest and one that once in place will provide significant earnings power for our shareholders.”

Second Fiscal Quarter 2021 Operating Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, Capital Southwest reported total investment income of $16.7 million, compared to $15.2 million in the prior quarter. The increase in investment income was primarily attributable to an increase in average debt investments outstanding and an increase in weighted average yield on debt investments, as well as an increase in non-recurring amendment and prepayment fees received from portfolio companies during the quarter.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, total operating expenses (excluding interest expense) were $4.2 million, compared to $3.7 million in the prior quarter. The increase in expenses was due mainly to a true-up to our annual bonus accrual based on improvement in our overall portfolio performance, as well as an increase in share-based compensation due to additional restricted stock awards granted in the prior quarter.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, interest expense was $4.4 million as compared to $4.3 million in the prior quarter. The increase was due to the issuance in August 2020 of the additional 5.375% Notes due 2024.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, total pre-tax net investment income was $8.1 million, compared to $7.2 million in the prior quarter.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, Capital Southwest had a tax benefit of $0.2 million as compared to tax expense of $0.4 million in the previous quarter. The decrease was primarily due to losses from partnership investments held in the Taxable Subsidiary.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, Capital Southwest recorded total net realized and unrealized gains on investments of $8.4 million, compared to $2.1 million in the prior quarter. For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, this included total net realized losses on investments of $1.3 million and net unrealized appreciation on investments of $9.6 million, of which $1.3 million was the reversal of net unrealized depreciation recognized in prior periods due to realized losses noted above. The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $16.4 million for the quarter, compared to $8.9 million in the prior quarter.
The Company’s NAV at September 30, 2020 was $15.36 per share, as compared to $14.95 at June 30, 2020. The increase in NAV per share from the prior quarter is primarily due to net unrealized appreciation on the investment portfolio.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2020, Capital Southwest had approximately $16.0 million in unrestricted cash and money market balances, $187.0 million of total debt outstanding on the Credit Facility, $56.3 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, of the December 2022 Notes outstanding, and $122.6 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, of the October 2024 Notes outstanding. As of September 30, 2020, Capital Southwest had $134.6 million in available borrowings under the Credit Facility. The debt to equity ratio at the end of the quarter was 1.28 to 1.
In September 2019, the Company issued $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Notes due 2024 (the “Existing October 2024 Notes”). On October 8, 2019, the Company issued an additional $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the October 2024 Notes (the "Additional October 2024 Notes" together with the Existing October 2024 Notes, the "October 2024 Notes"). In August 2020, the Company issued an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the October 2024 Notes (the "New Notes" together with the Existing October 2024 Notes and the Additional October 2024 Notes, the "October 2024 Notes"). The total net proceeds from the offering of the October 2024 Notes was $122.5 million, before offering expenses payable by us. The October 2024 Notes mature on October 1, 2024 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time prior to July 1, 2024, at par plus a “make-whole” premium, and thereafter at par. The October 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per year, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2020.
On September 29, 2020 (the "Redemption Date"), the Company redeemed $20 million in aggregate principal of the December 2022 Notes. The December 2022 Notes were redeemed at 100% of their principal amount, plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon, through, but excluding the Redemption Date. Accordingly, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized realized losses on the extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million, equal to the write-off of the related unamortized debt issuance costs during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
In December 2018, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Agreement"), and a related Amended and Restated Guarantee, Pledge and Security Agreement, to amend and restate its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility"). On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement, which increased the total commitments under the Credit Facility by $25 million. The increase was executed under the accordion feature of the Credit Facility and increased total commitments from $270 million to $295 million. On March 19, 2020, CSWC entered into an Incremental Assumption Agreement, which increased the total commitments under the accordion feature of the Credit Facility by $30 million, increasing total commitments from $295 million to $325 million.
On March 4, 2019, the Company entered into separate equity distribution agreements with certain sales agents through which it may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 (the "Equity ATM Program"). On February 4, 2020, the Company (i) increased the maximum amount of shares of its common stock to be sold through the Equity ATM Program to $100,000,000 from $50,000,000 and (ii) added two additional sales agents to the Equity ATM Program.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold 35,112 shares of its common stock under the Equity ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $14.99 per share, raising $0.5 million of gross proceeds. Net proceeds were $0.5 million after commissions to the sales agents on shares sold. Cumulative to date, the Company has sold 1,903,377 shares of its common stock under the Equity ATM Program at a weighted-average price of $20.31, raising $38.7 million of gross proceeds. Net proceeds were $37.9 million after commissions to the sales agents on shares sold. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has $61.3 million available under the Equity ATM Program.
Additionally, I-45 SLF has total commitments outstanding of $150 million from a group of four bank lenders in its Deutsche Bank led credit facility, which is scheduled to mature in November 2024. As of September 30, 2020, I-45 SLF had $107 million in borrowings outstanding under its credit facility.
Share Repurchase Program
On January 25, 2016, Capital Southwest announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of its common stock at prices below the Company’s net asset value per share as reported in its most recent financial statements. The Board authorized the share repurchase program because it believes that the Company’s common stock may be undervalued from time to time due to market volatility.
On March 26, 2020, the aggregate amount of the Company’s common stock purchased (inclusive of commission fees) pursuant to the share repurchase agreement met the threshold set forth in the share repurchase agreement and, as a result, the Company ceased purchasing common stock under the share repurchase program on such date. Cumulative to date, the Company has repurchased a total of 840,543 shares at an average price of $11.85 per share, including commissions paid. Accordingly, during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not repurchase any shares of the Company's common stock under the share repurchase program.
Declared Dividend of $0.51 Per Share for Quarter Ended December 31, 2020
On October 21, 2020, the Board declared total dividends of $0.51 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, comprised of a Regular Dividend of $0.41 per share and a Supplemental Dividend of $0.10 per share.
The Company's dividend will be payable as follows:
December 31, 2020 Dividend
Amount Per Share: $0.51
Ex-Dividend Date: December 14, 2020
Record Date: December 15, 2020
Payment Date: December 31, 2020
When declaring dividends, the Board reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which may differ from net investment income under generally accepted accounting principles. The final determination of taxable income for each year, as well as the tax attributes for dividends in such year, will be made after the close of the tax year.
Capital Southwest maintains a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") that provides for the reinvestment of dividends on behalf of its registered stockholders who hold their shares with Capital Southwest’s transfer agent and registrar, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company. Under the DRIP, if the Company declares a dividend, registered stockholders who have opted into the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of Capital Southwest common stock.

As of September 30, 2020, there were three investments on non-accrual status. Weighted-average annual effective yield is not a return to shareholders and is higher than what an investor in shares in our common stock will realize on its investment because it does not reflect our expenses or any sales load paid by an investor (3) Weighted average EBITDA metric is calculated using investment cost basis weighting. For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, one portfolio company is excluded from this calculation due to a reported debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio that was not meaningful (4) Includes CSWC debt investments only. Calculated as the amount of each portfolio company’s debt (including CSWC’s position and debt senior or pari passu to CSWC’s position, but excluding debt subordinated to CSWC’s position) in the capital structure divided by each portfolio company’s adjusted EBITDA. Weighted average leverage is calculated using investment cost basis weighting. Management uses this metric as a guide to evaluate relative risk of its position in each portfolio debt investment. For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, one portfolio company is excluded from this calculation due to reporting a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio that was not meaningful Page 13
