Main Street’s SBIC debentures payable, under existing SBA-approved commitments, were $334.0 million as of March 31, 2023 and $350.0 million as of December 31, 2022. SBIC debentures provide for interest to be paid semiannually, with principal due at the applicable 10-year maturity date of each debenture.
