Current report

On July 15, 2025, we made an investment in SG Credit Partners, Inc. (along with its affiliates and subsidiaries, “SG Credit”), a national credit platform focused on the lower middle market. The investment is structured as an $80 million term loan facility, a $34 million delayed draw term loan facility and a $12 million common equity investment. The interest rate on the debt investments is 11.00%, and we will own 22.5% of the equity of SG Credit following the investment. In addition, we have an option to purchase additional equity interests of SG Credit at a fixed price.

Current report

On August 8, 2025, we amended our Corporate Credit Facility and increased the total commitment from $400 million to $475 million. There was no change to the interest rates or the maturity date. Amounts available for us to borrow under the Corporate Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets that are pledged as collateral. These advance rates and customary concentration limits may vary depending on the asset coverage ratio.

We finance our investments with leverage in the form of borrowings under credit facilities and issuances of senior unsecured notes.

If this ratio declines below 150%, we cannot incur additional leverage and could be required to sell a portion of our investments to repay some leverage when it is disadvantageous to do so. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our asset coverage ratios were 216% and 238%, respectively.
