Corporate Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Corporate Credit Facility”), that has a total commitment of $475,000 which has a maturity date of November 22, 2029. The Corporate Credit Facility also provides for a feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the overall size of the Corporate Credit Facility to a maximum of $600,000. The interest rate on the Corporate Credit Facility is equal to Term SOFR (a forward-looking rate based on SOFR futures) plus an applicable spread of 2.10% per annum or an “alternate base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Corporate Credit Facility) plus an applicable spread of 1.00%. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on any unused portion of the Corporate Credit Facility.

Under the Corporate Credit Facility, the Company is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities, including, without limitation, covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain restricted payments, (d) maintaining a certain minimum stockholders’ equity, and (e) maintaining a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities not representing indebtedness) to total indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries of not less than 1.5:1.0. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the agreements governing the Corporate Credit Facility. Amounts available to borrow under the Corporate Credit Facility are subject to compliance with a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets (based on their value as determined pursuant to the Corporate Credit Facility) that are pledged as collateral. The Corporate Credit Facility is secured by certain assets in the Company’s portfolio and excludes investments held by Kayne Anderson BDC Financing LLC (“KABDCF”) under the Revolving Funding Facility and by Kayne Anderson BDC Financing II, LLC (“KABDCF II”) under the Revolving Funding Facility II (each as defined below).

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Corporate Credit Facility was $143,833 and $283,089, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.79% and 6.43%, respectively, for the Corporate Facility portion. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $115,000 outstanding under the Corporate Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 5.77%.

Revolving Funding Facility

As of March 31, 2026, the Company and KABDCF, a wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, had a senior secured revolving funding facility (the “Revolving Funding Facility”), that has a total commitment of $675,000. The end of the reinvestment period is February 20, 2029, and the maturity date is February 20, 2031. The interest rate on the Revolving Funding Facility is SOFR plus 1.95% per annum. The Revolving Funding Facility is secured by all of the assets held by KABDCF and the Company has agreed that it will not grant or allow a lien on the membership interest of KABDCF.

KABDCF is also required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.50% and 1.50% per annum depending on the size of the unused portion of the Revolving Funding Facility. Amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Funding Facility are subject to a borrowing base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets held by KABDCF and is subject to limitations with respect to the loans securing the Revolving Funding Facility, including restrictions on, loan size, industry concentration, payment frequency and status, as well as restrictions on portfolio company leverage, all of which may also affect the borrowing base and therefore amounts available to borrow. The Company and KABDCF are also required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the agreements governing the Revolving Funding Facility.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Funding Facility was $512,139 and $445,211, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.73% and 6.61%, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $553,000 outstanding under the Revolving Funding Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 5.58%.

Revolving Funding Facility II

As of March 31, 2026, the Company and KABDCF II, a wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, had a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Funding Facility II”). The Revolving Funding Facility II has an initial commitment of $250,000 which, under certain circumstances, can be increased up to $500,000. The Revolving Funding Facility II is secured by all of the assets held by KABDCF II and the Company has agreed that it will not grant or allow a lien on the membership interest of KABDCF II. The end of the reinvestment period is December 22, 2027, and the maturity date is December 22, 2029. The interest rate on the Revolving Funding Facility II is 3-month term SOFR plus 2.25%. KABDCF II is also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.55% on the unused portion of the Revolving Funding Facility II.

Amounts available to borrow under the Revolving Funding Facility II are subject to a borrowing base that has limitations with respect to the loans securing the Revolving Funding Facility II, including limitations on, loan size, payment frequency and status, sector concentrations, as well as restrictions on portfolio company leverage, all of which may also affect the borrowing base and therefore amounts available to borrow. The Company and KABDCF II are also required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the agreements governing the Revolving Funding Facility II.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Funding Facility II was $195,000 and $124,472, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.91% and 6.74%, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $195,000 outstanding under the Revolving Funding Facility II at a weighted average interest rate of 5.91%.

Senior Unsecured Notes

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $275,000 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”).

In connection with certain of the unsecured notes, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to more closely align the interest rates of the Company’s liabilities with the Company’s investment portfolio, which consists of predominantly floating rate loans. Under the interest rate swap agreement related to the Series D Notes, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 5.80% per annum and pays a floating interest rate of SOFR plus 2.37% per annum on the $60,000 of the Series D Notes. Under the interest rate swap agreement related to the Series E Notes, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 6.15% per annum and pays a floating interest rate of SOFR plus 2.6565% per annum on the $100,000 of the Series E Notes. The Company designated each interest rate swap as the hedging instrument in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship.

(1) The effective interest rate including the effects of the interest rate swap is SOFR + 2.37%.

 

(2) The effective interest rate including the effects of the interest rate swap is SOFR + 2.6565%.

Holders of the fixed rate Series A, B, D and E Notes are entitled to receive cash interest payments semi-annually (on January 30 and July 30) at the fixed rate. Holders of the floating rate Series C Notes are entitled to receive cash interest payments quarterly (on January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30) at the floating rate. As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding Notes was 6.75%.

As of March 31, 2026, the Notes were rated “BBB” by Kroll Bond Rating Agency (“KBRA”). The Company is required to maintain a current rating from one rating agency with respect to the Notes. In the event the Company does not maintain a current rating from a rating agency for a specified period of time or the credit rating on the Notes falls below “BBB-” (a “Below Investment Grade Event”), the interest rate per annum on the Notes will increase by 1.0% during the period the Notes are rated below “BBB-”. In the event the Company’s Secured Debt Ratio exceeds 55% (a “Secured Debt Ratio Event”), the interest rate per annum on the Notes will increase by 1.5% during the period the ratio is above the stated percentage. If a Below Investment Grade Event and a Secured Debt Ratio Event is continuing at the same time the aggregate increase in interest rate per annum will not exceed 2.0%.

The Notes were issued in private placement offerings to institutional investors and are not listed on any exchange or automated quotation system. The Notes contain various covenants related to other indebtedness, liens and limits on the Company’s overall leverage. The Company must maintain a minimum amount of shareholder equity and the Company’s asset coverage ratio must be greater than 150% as of the last business day of each fiscal quarter. The Notes are redeemable in certain circumstances at the option of the Company and may be redeemed under certain circumstances to cure the asset coverage ratio covenant.

The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, will rank: (1) senior to all of the Company’s outstanding common shares; (2) on parity with any unsecured creditors of the Company and any unsecured senior securities representing indebtedness of the Company; and (3) junior to any secured creditors of the Company.

At March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Notes agreements.

As a result of the Company’s designation of the interest rate swaps as hedging instruments in qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationships, the Company is required to fair value the hedging instruments and the related hedged items, with the changes in the fair value of each being recorded in interest expense. The net losses related to the fair value hedges were approximately zero for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which are included in “Interest expense” in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The balance sheet impact of fair valuing the interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2026 are presented below. There were no interest rate swap activity for the period ended March 31, 2025.
