On January 15, 2021, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (as subsequently amended and restated, the “ING Credit Facility”) with ING Capital LLC (“ING”) as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The initial commitments under the ING Credit Facility totaled $65.0 million.

On April 30, 2021, we amended and restated the credit agreement governing the ING Credit Facility to increase the total commitments under the facility to $325.0 million and include a $25.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. On July 22, 2021, we entered into an incremental commitment and assumption agreement to increase the aggregate commitments under the ING Credit Facility to $500.0 million. As amended as of March 31, 2022, we had aggregate commitments from lenders of $500.0 million under the ING Credit Facility, the maximum commitment then allowed under the ING Credit Facility. On April 25, 2022, we amended the ING Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) increase total commitments from lenders to $625.0 million from $500.0 million, (ii) upsize the accordion feature under the ING Credit Facility to allow for an increase in aggregate commitments thereunder from new and existing lenders on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments up to a total of $800.0 million, subject to certain conditions and the satisfaction of specified financial covenants, and (iii) replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) benchmark provisions under the ING Credit Facility with SOFR benchmark provisions. On October 13, 2022, we amended the ING Credit Facility to increase total commitments from lenders to $710.0 million from $625.0 million.

We can borrow foreign currencies directly under the ING Credit Facility. The ING Credit Facility is secured primarily by a material portion of our present and future property and assets and is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The revolving period under the ING Credit Facility terminates on April 30, 2025, and the final maturity date of the ING Credit Facility is scheduled for April 30, 2026.

Borrowings under the ING Credit Facility bear interest on a per annum basis equal to (i) for borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars, subject to our election, (a) the alternate base rate plus 1.15% or (b) the term SOFR plus 2.15% plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for borrowings with an interest period of one month, 0.15% for borrowings with an interest period of three months or 0.25% for borrowings with an interest period of six months, with the term SOFR plus credit spread adjustment subject to a 0.00% floor, (ii) for borrowings denominated in Pounds Sterling, Swiss Francs, Euros, Canadian Dollars, Danish Kroner, Norwegian Kroner or Swedish Kronor, the adjusted eurocurrency rate plus 2.15%, (iii) for borrowings denominated in Australian Dollars, the adjusted eurocurrency rate plus 2.35%, or (iv) for borrowings denominated in New Zealand Dollars, the adjusted eurocurrency rate plus 2.45%. The alternate base rate is equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (iii) the overnight bank funding rate plus 0.50%, (iv) one-month term SOFR plus 1.00% plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and (v) 1.00%. The adjusted eurocurrency rate is equal to the eurocurrency rate for the applicable interest period plus any applicable statutory reserve rate for such interest period, subject to a 0.00% floor. We pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the ING Credit Facility.

The ING Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to (i) maintaining minimum stockholders’ equity, (ii) maintaining a minimum asset coverage ratio of (a) 150% at any time that more than 70% of the total fair value of our portfolio comprises cash, cash equivalents, long-term U.S. government securities or first lien loans to portfolio companies, or (b) 167% or 200% at specified concentrations of such assets at amounts less than or equal to 70% of the total fair value of our portfolio, (iii) meeting a minimum liquidity test, (iv) meeting a minimum net worth test, and (v) maintaining our status as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The ING Credit Facility also contains customary events of default with customary cure and notice provisions, including, without limitation, nonpayment, misrepresentation of representations and warranties in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default to other indebtedness, bankruptcy, certain change of control events, and the occurrence of a material adverse effect. The ING Credit Facility also permits the administrative agent to select an independent third-party valuation firm to determine valuations of certain portfolio investments for purposes of borrowing base provisions.

ING and other lenders under the ING Credit Facility, and their respective affiliates, may from time to time receive customary fees and expenses in the performance of investment banking, financial advisory or other services for us. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants of the ING Credit Facility.

We, one of our subsidiaries, BCIC Holdings, Inc., ING, as administrative agent, the financing agents and designated indebtedness holders that become parties thereto and ING, as collateral agent, also entered into a guarantee, pledge and security

agreement, dated as of January 15, 2021, pursuant to which our obligations under the ING Credit Facility are secured by a first-priority security interest (subject to certain exceptions) in substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors’ present and future property and assets.

As of March 31, 2024, we had U.S. dollar borrowings of $533.0 million under the ING Credit Facility with an interest rate of 7.569% (with Term SOFR borrowings subject to one month SOFR of 5.319%), borrowings denominated in British pounds sterling of £31.2 million ($39.4 million U.S. dollars) with an interest rate of 7.371% (one month SONIA of 5.221%), borrowings denominated in Euros of €61.5 million ($66.4 million U.S. dollars) with an interest rate of 6.088% (one month EURIBOR of 3.938%) and borrowings denominated in Australian Dollars of A$5.5 million ($3.6 million U.S. dollars) with an interest rate of 6.650% (one month AUD Screen Rate of 4.300%). The borrowings denominated in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars based on the spot rate at the relevant balance sheet date. The impact resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on the ING Credit Facility borrowings is included in “Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) - foreign currency transactions” in our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The fair values of the borrowings outstanding under the ING Credit Facility are based on a market yield approach and current interest rates, which are Level 3 inputs to the market yield model. As of March 31, 2024, the total fair value of the borrowings outstanding under the ING Credit Facility was $642.4 million. See “Note 5. Borrowings — ING Capital Credit Facility” to our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the ING Credit Facility.

February 2027 Notes

On February 22, 2022, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “February 2022 NPA”) governing the issuance of $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due February 22, 2027 (the “February 2027 Notes”), in each case, to qualified institutional investors in a private placement. The February 2027 Notes were delivered and paid for on February 22, 2022.

The February 2027 Notes, for which we were required to obtain an initial rating by June 30, 2022, have a fixed interest rate of 4.75% per year, subject to a step up of 0.75% per year, to the extent the February 2027 Notes fail to satisfy certain investment grade rating conditions.

The February 2027 Notes will mature on February 22, 2027 unless redeemed, purchased or prepaid prior to such date by us in accordance with the terms of the February 2022 NPA. Interest on the February 2027 Notes will be due semiannually in February and August of each year, beginning in August 2022. In addition, we are obligated to offer to repay the February 2027 Notes at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of prepayment) if certain change in control events occur. Subject to the terms of the February 2022 NPA, we may redeem the February 2027 Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option at par plus accrued interest to the prepayment date and, if redeemed on or before August 22, 2026, a make-whole premium.

The February 2022 NPA contains certain representations and warranties, and various covenants and reporting requirements customary for agreements of this type, including, without limitation, information reporting, maintenance of our status as a BDC within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and certain restrictions with respect to transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes, changes of line of business, liens, restricted payments, and investments. In addition, the February 2022 NPA contains the following financial covenants: (a) maintaining a minimum obligors’ net worth, measured as of each fiscal quarter-end; (b) not permitting our asset coverage ratio, as of the date of the incurrence of any debt for borrowed money or the making of any cash dividend to stockholders, to be less than the statutory minimum then applicable to us under the 1940 Act; and (c) not permitting our net debt to equity ratio to exceed 2.0x, measured as of each fiscal quarter-end.

The February 2022 NPA also contains customary events of default with customary cure and notice periods, including, without limitation, nonpayment, incorrect representation in any material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default under other indebtedness or that of our subsidiary guarantors, if any, certain judgements and orders, and certain events of bankruptcy. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the holders of at least 66-2/3% in principal amount of the February 2027 Notes at the time outstanding may declare all February 2027 Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

Our obligations under the February 2022 NPA are general unsecured obligations that rank pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by us. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants under the February 2022 NPA.

The February 2027 Notes were offered in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The February 2027 Notes have not and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities

laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as applicable.

As of March 31, 2024, the fair value of the outstanding February 2027 Notes was $92.1 million. The fair value determination of the February 2027 Notes was based on a market yield approach and current interest rates, which are Level 3 inputs to the market yield model.

Distributions to Stockholders

We intend to pay quarterly distributions to our stockholders out of assets legally available for distribution. We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of dividends on behalf of our stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when we declare a dividend, stockholders who have not opted out of the DRIP will have their dividends automatically reinvested in shares of our common stock, rather than receiving cash dividends.

We have elected for federal income tax purposes to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code, and intend to make the required distributions to our stockholders as specified therein. In order to maintain our tax treatment as a RIC and to obtain RIC tax benefits, we must meet certain minimum distribution, source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. If such requirements are met, then we are generally required to pay income taxes only on the portion of our taxable income and gains we do not distribute (actually or constructively). We monitor our distribution requirements with the goal of ensuring compliance with the Code. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit the payment of any level of cash distributions and our ability to make distributions will be limited by the asset coverage requirement and related provisions under the 1940 Act and contained in any applicable indenture or financing agreement and related supplements. In addition, in order to satisfy the annual distribution requirement applicable to RICs, we may declare a significant portion of our dividends in shares of our common stock instead of in cash. A stockholder generally would be subject to tax on 100% of the fair market value of the dividend on the date the dividend is received by the stockholder in the same manner as a cash dividend, even though a portion of the dividend was paid in shares of our common stock.

The minimum distribution requirements applicable to RICs require us to distribute to our stockholders each year at least 90% of our investment company taxable income (“ICTI”), as defined by the Code. Depending on the level of ICTI and net capital gain, if any, earned in a tax year, we may choose to carry forward income in excess of current year distributions into the next tax year and pay a 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such excess. Any such carryover income must be distributed before the end of the next tax year through a dividend declared prior to filing the final tax return related to the year which generated such income.

ICTI generally differs from net investment income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses. We may be required to recognize ICTI in certain circumstances in which we do not receive cash. For example, if we hold debt obligations that are treated under applicable tax rules as having original issue discount (“OID”) (such as debt instruments issued with warrants), we must include in ICTI each year a portion of the OID that accrues over the life of the obligation, regardless of whether cash representing such income is received by us in the same taxable year. We may also have to include in ICTI other amounts that we have not yet received in cash, such as (i) PIK interest income and (ii) interest income from investments that have been classified as non-accrual for financial reporting purposes. Interest income on non-accrual investments is not recognized for financial reporting purposes, but generally is recognized in ICTI. Because any OID or other amounts accrued will be included in our ICTI for the year of accrual, we may be required to make a distribution to our stockholders in order to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements, even though we will not have received and may not ever receive any corresponding cash amount. ICTI also excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as investment gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.

Recent Developments

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we made approximately $5.9 million of new commitments, of which $5.6 million closed and funded. The $5.6 million of investments consists of $5.6 million of first lien senior secured debt investments and $46.9 thousand of equity investments. The weighted average yield of the debt investments was 11.3%. In addition, we funded $1.9 million of previously committed revolvers and delayed draw term loans.

On May 7, 2024, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.64 per share payable on June 12, 2024 to holders of record as of May 29, 2024.
