Main Street Announces Increase in Commitments

Under its Credit Facility to $352.5 Million

 

HOUSTON, May 8, 2013 — Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) (“Main Street”) announced today that it has amended its five-year credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to expand the total commitments from $287.5 million to $352.5 million.  The $65.0 million increase in total commitments was the result of commitment increases by four lenders currently participating in the Credit Facility. The amended Credit Facility also contains an upsized accordion feature that allows for an increase in total commitments under the facility up to $425.0 million of total commitments from new and existing lenders on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments.  The amended Credit Facility provides Main Street with access to additional financing capacity in support of its future investment and operational activities.  Main Street currently has $110.0 million of outstanding debt under the Credit Facility.
