Debt | 6. Debt In February 2025, the Board approved reducing the Fund's asset coverage requirements from 200% to 150% and in April 2025, the Fund's Shareholders approved the reduction at a Special Meeting of Shareholders. As a result, the reduction of the asset coverage requirements became effective for the Fund on May 1, 2025. Asset coverage ratio is equal to (i) total assets at the end of the period, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, divided by (ii) total debt represented by senior securities at the end of the period. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the asset coverage ratio based on the aggregate amount outstanding of the Fund's senior securities was 216% and 221%, respectively. Revolving Credit Facility The Fund is party to a secured revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that allows the Fund to borrow an amount up to $100 million. Prior to April 16, 2025, the facility termination date for the Revolving Credit Facility was April 17, 2028. The interest rate was 3-Month SOFR plus a margin of 285 basis points per annum on the drawn portion, as well as a commitment fee of 40 basis points per annum on any unused portion. In connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Fund has pledged certain investments and cash as collateral and such pledged investments may accordingly be restricted as to resale. Certain specified revaluation events related to pledged assets may result in a decrease in the borrowing base, and could incent or require the Fund to pledge additional collateral. On April 16, 2025, the Fund entered into Amendment No. 20 to the Revolving Credit Facility ("Amendment No. 20"). Amendment No. 20, (i) reduced the applicable margin from 2.85% to 1.70%, (ii) extended the revolving period by three years and the facility termination date to April 17, 2031 and (iii) added a committed Optional Increased Facility Amount of $50,000,000. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $15.4 million and approximately $2.6 million, respectively, of the Revolving Credit Facility was outstanding. 2021 Debt Securitization On September 9, 2021, the Fund completed a $400 million term debt securitization (the “2021 Debt Securitization”), also known as a collateralized loan obligation transaction, which is a form of secured financing incurred by the Fund. The debt offered in the 2021 Debt Securitization (the “2021 CLO”) was issued by Silver Point SCF CLO I, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund, and was backed by a diversified portfolio of senior secured bonds and loans and second lien loans. The Fund owned $112 million of Class D and Subordinated Notes. All transactions and balances associated with these two classes of notes were eliminated in consolidation. The Class A-1 Loans and Class A-1a through Class D Notes were secured obligations; the Subordinated Notes were the unsecured obligations of the 2021 CLO. The indenture governing the 2021 CLO included customary covenants. 2024 Debt Securitization On September 26, 2024, the Fund completed a $428 million term debt securitization (the “2024 Debt Securitization”), also known as a collateralized loan obligation transaction, which is a form of secured financing incurred by the Fund. The 2024 Debt Securitization is commonly referred to as a “CLO Reset”, in which the 2021 CLO was reset with a new capital structure and reinvestment period. The debt offered in the 2024 Debt Securitization (the “2024 CLO”) was issued by Silver Point SCF CLO IV, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund, and is backed by a diversified portfolio of senior secured bonds and loans and second lien loans. The Fund owns $124 million of Class D and Subordinated Notes. All transactions and balances associated with these two classes of notes have been eliminated in consolidation. The Class A-1 Loans and Class A-1a through Class D Notes are secured obligations; the Subordinated Notes are the unsecured obligations of the 2024 CLO. The indenture governing the 2024 CLO includes customary covenants. The stated maturity for the 2024 CLO is October 15, 2036. The 2024 CLO consists of the following:
(1) Carrying value represents aggregate principal amount outstanding less unamortized debt issuance costs. 2026 Notes On November 4, 2021, the Fund placed $145 million in aggregate principal of unsecured notes that mature on November 4, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes were issued in two tranches, with $100 million of tranche A notes funded on November 4, 2021 and $45 million of tranche B notes funded on January 21, 2022. The 2026 Notes bear contractual interest at a rate of 4.00% per year, payable semi-annually on November 4 and May 4, of each year, commencing on May 4, 2022. The 2026 Notes are subject to various repayment and redemption provisions. Additionally, in connection with the 2026 Notes, the Fund is required to maintain certain asset ratios. In connection with the 2026 Notes, the Fund entered into two interest rate swaps in April and May 2023, respectively, to align the interest rates of its liabilities with the Fund's investment portfolio which consists of predominately floating rate loans. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps were each $72.5 million, or $145 million in aggregate, with a maturity date of June 30, 2025. In October 2024, the Fund simultaneously closed out these swaps and entered into a succeeding $145 million interest rate swap with a maturity date of November 4, 2026. For all swaps entered into in connection with the 2026 Notes, the Fund received a fixed rate of interest at 4.00% and paid a variable rate of interest based on SOFR (see additional information to the consolidated schedules of investments and Note 7 for more details on these interest rate swaps). These interest rate swaps were designated as hedging instruments for the 2026 Notes in a fair value hedge, in accordance with hedge accounting. The April and May 2023 interest rate swaps were discontinued as fair value hedges upon their closure. As a result, the Fund's effective interest rate on the 2026 Notes is SOFR plus 13 basis points during the swaps' outstanding period. The interest expense related to the 2026 Notes is equally offset by the proceeds received from the interest rate swaps. Income and expenses generated by the hedging swaps are included as a component of total interest expense on the Fund's consolidated statements of operations. The change in fair value of the interest rate swaps is offset by the change in the interest rate component of the fair value of the 2026 Notes, with the remaining difference as a component of total interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. 2055 Promissory Notes On April 30, 2025, the Fund issued $1.5 million in aggregate principal of promissory notes (the "2055 Promissory Notes"). The Fund pays interest on the principal amount of the 2055 Notes at a rate of 12% per annum, payable annually in arrears. The 2055 Promissory Notes mature on April 30, 2055 and may be prepaid by the Fund at any time, in whole or in part, provided that (i) the Fund will pay on the date of such prepayment all accrued and unpaid interest due on such prepaid principal amount to and including the date of prepayment and (ii) if the prepayment occurs within twenty-four months after the issue date of the 2055 Promissory Notes, the Fund will pay a one-time premium. The following tables present the details of the Fund’s borrowings as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
(1) Interest rate as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was 3-Month SOFR+1.70% and 3-Month SOFR+2.85%, respectively. The base interest rate is subject to monthly changes. Interest rate does not include the amortization of upfront fees, facility agent fee, unfunded fees and expenses that were incurred in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility. (2) Interest rates as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were calculated using the weighted average interest rate based on the 2024 CLO. Interest rate does not include the amortization of upfront fees. Refer to 2024 CLO table above for the respective coupon rates. (3) Carrying value represents aggregate principal amount outstanding less unamortized debt issuance costs. (4) Carrying value includes the change in fair value of effective hedges. The fair value of the Fund’s borrowings are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The components of the Fund's interest and financing expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 were as follows:
(1) Refer to "2026 Notes" for details on designated hedge relationship with the interest rate swaps. (2) Interest expense includes the portion of the facility agent fee applicable to the drawn portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the unfunded fee includes the portion of the facility agent fee applicable to the undrawn portion of the Revolving Credit Facility (see table above for details of the Fund's borrowings).
