Main Street Announces Amendment of its Credit Facility

 

Amendment Includes Extended Maturity and Improved Pricing

Based on Recently Announced Investment Grade Rating

 

HOUSTON, September 30, 2014 — Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) (“Main Street”) announced today the amendment of its five-year credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The recently closed amendment provides several benefits to Main Street, including (i) an expansion of the total commitments under the facility by $20.0 million, to a total of $522.5 million, (ii) an extension of the final maturity by one year to September 2019, with the facility available on a fully revolving basis for the entire five-year term and (iii) reduced interest rate pricing so long as Main Street maintains an investment grade rating.  Borrowings under the amended Credit Facility bear interest, subject to Main Street’s election, on a per annum basis equal to (i) the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.00% or (ii) the applicable base rate plus 1.00% so long as Main Street maintains an investment grade rating, and 0.25% higher in each case otherwise.  The amended Credit Facility also contains an upsized accordion feature that allows for an increase in total commitments under the facility to up to $650.0 million of total commitments from new and existing lenders on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments.  In addition to the extended maturity, Main Street continues to maintain two, one-year extension options under the amended Credit Facility which could extend the final maturity of the Credit Facility for up to two additional years.  Main Street currently has $281.0 million of outstanding debt under the Credit Facility.
