Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On April 11, 2025, KKR Enhanced US EvDL Funding II LLC (“KKR Funding II”), a wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary of KKR Enhanced US Direct Lending Fund-L Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among KKR Funding II, as borrower, the Company, as servicer, BNP Paribas (“BNP”), as administrative agent (in such capacity “Administrative Agent”), each of the lenders from time to time party thereto, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for, among other things, borrowings in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies in an initial aggregate amount of up to $200,000,000.
The revolving period during which KKR Funding II is permitted to borrow, repay and re-borrow advances will terminate on April 11, 2028. Any amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on April 11, 2030.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the floating rate applicable to the currency of such borrowing (which, for U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings, is three-month term SOFR, subject to a floor of 0% per annum), plus an applicable margin of 1.85% per annum. From and after April 11, 2028, the applicable margin will be 2.35% per annum. In addition, during the revolving period, KKR Funding II will pay a non-usage fee on the unused commitments under the facility ranging from 0.50% per annum to 1.00% per annum depending on utilization levels.
In connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, KKR Funding II has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains events of default customary for similar financing transactions of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Administrative Agent may terminate the commitments and declare the outstanding loans and all other obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility immediately due and payable. During the continuation of an event of default, KKR Funding II may be required to pay interest at a default rate.
KKR Funding II’s obligations to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of KKR Funding II, including its portfolio investments and cash. The obligations of KKR Funding II under the Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company, and the Company’s exposure to the Credit Facility is limited to the value of its investment in KKR Funding II.
The foregoing description of the Revolving Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3.
