Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 16, 2025, Fidelity Private Credit Company LLC (the “Fund”), as Borrower, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) pursuant to a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Truist Bank, as administrative agent, ING Capital LLC, as valuation agent, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto, and Truist Securities, Inc., ING Capital LLC, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as joint book runners and joint lead arrangers. The Agreement is effective as of June 16, 2025. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Agreement.
The Fund may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars or certain agreed foreign currencies under the Facility. Borrowings made under the Facility will have an interest rate, (a) if the Gross Borrowing Base is less than 1.60 times the Combined Debt Amount, (i) with respect to any ABR Loan, 0.875% per annum, and (ii) with respect to any Index Rate Loan, Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, 1.875% per annum; or (b) if the Gross Borrowing Base is equal to or greater than 1.60 times the Combined Debt Amount, (i) with respect to any ABR Loan, 0.750% per annum, and (ii) with respect to any Index Rate Loan, Term Benchmark Loan or RFR loan, 1.750% per annum. The Fund will also pay a fee of 0.375% on average daily undrawn amounts under the Facility.
The initial principal amount of the Facility is $300,000,000, 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 $750,000,000, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In addition, the Facility includes a $60,000,000 limit for swingline loans.
The Facility is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Fund and will be guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Fund that are formed or acquired by the Fund in the future (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Proceeds of the Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, repaying outstanding indebtedness, making distributions, contributions and investments, and acquisition and funding of portfolio investments, and such other uses as permitted under the Agreement.
The Facility is secured by a perfected first-priority interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by the Fund and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.
The availability period under the Facility will terminate on June 15, 2029 (the “Commitment Termination Date”) and the Facility will mature on June 14, 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 Agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants requiring the Fund 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.
The description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation
