Note 6. Borrowings

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limitations, BDCs are allowed to borrow amounts such that their asset coverage ratios, as defined in the 1940 Act, are at least 200% (or 150% if certain conditions are met) after such borrowing. Effective December 17, 2019, the asset coverage ratio under the 1940 Act Applicable to us decreased to 150% from 200%, so long as we meet certain disclosure requirements. As a result of complying with the requirements set forth in Section 61 of the 1940 Act, the Company is able to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage ratio is at least 150%, rather than 200%. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s asset coverage ratios were 189% and 194%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the weighted average borrowing and interest rate on our floating rate credit facilities was $941,113 and 6.7% compared to $884,316 and 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the maximum borrowing capacity of the Company under the Capital Call Facility was $65,000.

If the average unused portion of the commitment is greater than 50% during a calendar month, the unused fee will be 0.50% per annum multiplied by the daily unused portion of the commitment.

The stated Maturity Date of the Capital Call Facility is December 26, 2025, unless otherwise terminated.

On April 11, 2025, SPCC Funding I LLC executed a letter agreement (the “First Amendment”) to amend the Revolving Credit Facility. Under the First Amendment, the lenders party to the Revolving Credit Facility agreed to make advances to the respective financing commitment of such lender (a "Tranche A Advance" or a "Tranche B Advance," as applicable and together, an "Advance") with the following changes to the applicable margin: (a) with respect to interest based on the reference rate, 2.00% per annum; provided that, in the case of Tranche B Advances denominated in pound sterling, the applicable margin for Advances shall be 2.1193% per annum, (b) with respect to interest based on Term SOFR, 2.00% per annum, and (c) with respect to interest based on a base rate, 2.00% per annum; provided that, in the case of Tranche B Advances denominated in pound sterling, the applicable margin for Advances is 2.1193% per annum. The First Amendment also extended the non-call period to align with the reinvestment period of the Revolving Credit Facility. The other material terms of the Revolving Credit Facility were unchanged.

As of June 30, 2025, the financing commitment from the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility was $850,000 and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at an applicable margin of 2.00% per annum with respect to SOFR loans.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions.
