Morgan Stanley Facility

On November 6, 2024, APCF Funding SPV LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as borrower, and the Company, as equity holder and servicer, entered into a loan facility (the “Morgan Stanley Facility”) for revolving and term loans pursuant to a Loan and Servicing Agreement (the “Agreement”), with the lenders from time to time party thereto, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent (“Collateral Agent”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as account bank and collateral custodian. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.

Loans under the Morgan Stanley Facility initially bear interest at (i) a per annum rate equal to Term SOFR plus an additional margin calculated as a percentage of the aggregate principal balance of the underlying collateral obligations (the “Applicable Margin”) for loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, (ii) EURIBOR plus the Applicable Margin for loans denominated in Euros, (iii) Daily Compounded CORRA plus the Applicable Margin for loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, and (iv) Daily Simple SONIA plus the Applicable Margin for loans denominated in Great British Pounds, (v) BBSW plus the Applicable Margin for loans denominated in Australian Dollars and (vi) TONA plus the Applicable Margin for loans denominated in Japanese Yen. The Applicable Margin equals the product of (i) 1.65% and (ii) the lesser of: (x) aggregate principal balance of all broadly-syndicated loans divided by the aggregate principal balance of all eligible loans and (y) 35% (“Percentage”) plus the product of (i) 1.90% and (ii) 100% minus Percentage, subject to a step-up of 2.00% following the occurrence of an Event of Default or after the automatic occurrence or declaration of the Facility Maturity Date.

The initial maximum principal amount under the Agreement is $500 million and the Agreement includes an accordion provision to permit increases to the total facility amount up to a maximum of $1 billion, subject in each case to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender whose commitment is being increased. Proceeds from loans made under the Morgan Stanley Facility may be used to fund collateral obligations acquired by APCF Funding SPV LLC, to pay certain fees and expenses and to make distributions to the Company, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Agreement. Revolving loans borrowed under the Morgan Stanley Facility may be repaid and reborrowed until the end of the Revolving Period, which can occur no later than November 6, 2027 (unless extended), and all amounts outstanding under the Morgan Stanley Facility must be repaid by November 6, 2029. The Agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, as well as usual and customary events of default for loan facilities of this nature.

On March 18, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Loan and Servicing Agreement (the “Amendment”), among the parties listed above. The Amendment provides for, among other things, an increase in the aggregate commitments of the lenders under the Morgan Stanley Facility from $500 million to $1 billion, as well as certain changes to the concentration limits.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Morgan Stanley Facility.

Revolving Credit Facility

 

On December 11, 2025, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “SMBC Agreement”) with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as administrative agent, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto (the “Lenders”). The SMBC Agreement is effective as of December 11, 2025.

 

The Company may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies under the Revolving Credit Facility. Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility drawn in U.S. dollars will initially bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 0.75% or 0.875% plus an “alternate base rate” (as described in the SMBC Agreement) in the case of any loan of any class as provided for under the terms of the SMBC Agreement (a “Loan”) denominated in U.S. dollars and bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the “alternate base rate” and 1.75% or 1.875% plus Term SOFR (as defined in the SMBC Agreement) in the case of any Term Benchmark Loan (as defined in the SMBC Agreement) or Loan bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to Daily Simple RFR (as defined in the SMBC Agreement), in each case, depending on the Fund’s rate option election and borrowing base (as of the most recently delivered borrowing base certificate delivered under the SMBC Agreement). Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility drawn in currencies other than U.S. dollars will bear interest at certain local rates consistent with market standards. The Company will also pay a fee of 0.325% on average daily undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

The initial principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is $500,000,000, subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on the Fund’s portfolio investments and other outstanding indebtedness, with an accordion provision to permit increases to the total facility amount up to $875,000,000, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company, and will be guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company that are formed or acquired by the Company in the future (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, repaying outstanding indebtedness, making distributions, contributions and investments, and acquisition and funding, and such other uses as permitted under the SMBC Agreement.

 

The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a perfected first-priority interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by the Company and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions, and includes a $50,000,000 limit for swingline loans.

 

The availability period under the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on December 11, 2029 (the “Commitment Termination Date”) and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on December 11, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”). During the period from the Commitment Termination Date to the Maturity Date, the Fund will be obligated to make mandatory prepayments under the Facility out of the proceeds of certain asset sales, other recovery events and equity and debt issuances.

 

The SMBC Agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum shareholders’ equity and asset coverage ratio, and certain limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, as well as usual and customary events of default for revolving credit facilities of this nature.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Revolving Credit Facility.
