Note 5 – Borrowings
On July 26, 2023, the Board and the Fund’s sole shareholder approved the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act to the Fund and such election became effective the following day. As a result of this approval, the Fund’s applicable minimum asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act was decreased to 150% from 200% and the Fund is currently allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage ratio, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing (if certain requirements are met). As of June 30, 2025, the asset coverage ratio was 449%.
JPM Funding Facility
On March 26, 2024, the SPV entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the JPM Funding Facility), as borrower (the “Borrower”), with the Fund, as the parent and portfolio manager, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent, collateral administrator and securities intermediary, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, that provides a secured credit facility of up to $150 million with a reinvestment period ending March 26, 2027 and an initial final maturity date of March 26, 2029. The JPM Funding Facility also provides for a feature that allows the Borrower, subject to certain conditions, to increase the overall size of the JPM Funding Facility to a maximum of $500 million. In addition, on March 26, 2024, the Fund, as seller, and the Borrower, as purchaser, entered into a Sale and Contribution Agreement, pursuant to which the Borrower will either purchase certain corporate loans or receive contributions of cash or such corporate loans, (collectively, the Loans), from time to time, originated by the Fund or its affiliates.
On November 26, 2024, the SPV entered into a First Amendment to the JPM Funding Facility, which provides for a decrease in the interest rate on borrowings under the JPM Funding Facility from an applicable margin of 2.70% to 2.30%, in each case over Term SOFR or an alternate base rate; an increase in commitment fee on the undrawn balance of 0.55% per annum (or, 0.30% during
ramp-up
period) to 0.75% per annum (or, 0.50% during
ramp-up
period), removal of the administration agency fee, extends the maturity of the JPM Funding Facility to November 26, 2029; and resets the investment period and call protection.
 
On April 10, 2025, the SPV entered into a Second Amendment to the JPM Funding Facility, which provides for an increase to the maximum loan commitments available under the JPM Funding Facility to $
175
 million, with an option for the Borrower to further increase the maximum loan commitments to $
250
 million; a decrease in the interest rate on borrowings under the JPM Funding Facility from an applicable margin of
2.30
% to
2.20
%, in each case over Term SOFR or an alternate base rate; and a decrease in the commitment fee on undrawn loan commitments from
0.75
% to
0.60
%. Further, the Second Amendment resets the minimum loan utilization schedule and gives the Borrower the option to increase the maximum advance rate.
The obligations of the Borrower under the JPM Funding Facility are secured by substantially all assets held by the Borrower, including the Loans. Borrowings under the JPM Funding Facility will bear interest at Term SOFR or an alternate base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin equal to
2.20
% as amended on April 10, 2025, subject to increases for default rate interest from time to time pursuant to the terms of the JPM Funding Facility. In addition, the Borrower will pay, among other fees, an upfront fee, an administrative agency fee (removed November 26, 2024) and a commitment fee on the undrawn balance after March 27, 2025 of 0.60% per annum (or, during March 26, 2024 to March 27, 2025
ramp-up
period, 0.50% per annum) as amended on April 10, 2025 on the average daily unused facility amount.
Under the JPM Funding Facility, the Fund and the Borrower, as applicable, have made customary representations and warranties regarding their businesses, among other things, and are required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. The JPM Funding Facility includes usual and customary events of default for such facilities of this nature. Proceeds from the JPM Funding Facility must be used for the purposes permitted in the JPM Funding Facility, including purchasing of loans or other portfolio investments.
