NOTE 9 — CREDIT FACILITIES

Credit Facility

On September 30, 2022, as amended on December 9, 2022, April 26, 2023, October 3, 2024 and May 2, 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement with Zions Bancorporation, N.A., dba Amegy Bank and various other lenders (the “Credit Facility” and together with the SPV Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facility provides for borrowings up to a maximum of $195,000,000 on a committed basis with an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the aggregate commitments up to $200,000,000, subject to new or existing lenders agreeing to participate in the increase and other customary conditions.

The Credit Facility bears interest, subject to the Company’s election, on a per annum basis equal to (i) Term SOFR plus 2.50% (or 2.75% during certain periods in which the Company’s asset coverage ratio is equal to or below 1.90 to 1.00) plus a credit spread adjustment (0.10% for one-month Term SOFR and 0.15% for three-month Term SOFR), subject to a 0.25% floor, or (ii) 1.50% (or 1.75% during certain periods in which the Company’s asset coverage ratio is equal to or below 1.90 to 1.00) plus an alternate base rate, which is subject to a 3.00% floor, based on the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (c) one-month Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% (subject to a 0.25% floor), plus 1.00%. The Company pays unused commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the unused lender commitments under the Credit Facility. Interest is payable monthly or quarterly in arrears. The commitment to fund the revolver expires on September 30, 2026, after which the Company may no longer borrow under the Credit Facility and must begin repaying principal equal to 1/12 of the aggregate amount outstanding under the Credit Facility each month. Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on September 30, 2027.

Our obligations to the lenders under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in its portfolio of securities and cash held. The Credit Facility contains certain covenants, including but not limited to: (i) maintaining a minimum liquidity test of at least $10,000,000, including cash, liquid investments, and undrawn availability, (ii) maintaining an asset coverage ratio of at least 1.67 to 1.00, (iii) maintaining a certain minimum stockholder’s equity, and (iv) maintaining a minimum interest coverage ratio of at least 1.75 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $123,100,000 and $90,450,000, respectively, outstanding under the Credit Facility. The carrying amount of the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility approximates its fair value. The fair value of the Credit Facility is determined in accordance with ASC Topic 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Credit Facility is estimated based upon market interest rates for our own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. The Company has incurred costs of $1,778,540 in connection with the Credit Facility, which are being amortized over the life of the facility. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $896,847 and $972,372 of such prepaid loan structure fees and administration fees had yet to be amortized, respectively. These prepaid loan fees are presented on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a deduction from the Credit Facilities payable.

On August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Loan Financing and Servicing Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) for the SPV Facility by and among PBDC SPV, as borrower, the Company, as equityholder and servicer, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as facility agent, Citibank, N.A., as collateral agent and collateral custodian, Alter Domus (US) LLC, as collateral administrator, and the lenders that are party thereto from time to time. The SPV Facility provides for $50,000,000 million of initial commitments with an accordion feature that allows for an additional $50,000,000 million of total commitments from new and existing lenders on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments. Advances under the SPV Facility bear interest at three-month Term SOFR (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus an applicable margin of 2.50% during the revolving period ending on August 1, 2027 and three-month Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.85% thereafter. The Loan Agreement provides for an unused commitment fee, from the effective date of the Loan Agreement through August 1, 2027, of 0.25% per annum on the unused commitments if PBDC SPV’s credit facility utilization is greater than or equal to 80%, and otherwise, 0.50% per annum on the unused commitments, and other customary fees. The SPV Facility will mature on August 1, 2030.
