Executive Summary
Fidus Investment Corporation completed an exchange offer, converting $120 million of privately placed 6.625% Notes due 2029 into registered notes of the same principal amount, and entered into a Seventh Supplemental Indenture to govern the registered notes. The transaction does not change the company's total debt or interest expense; it simply fulfills a registration rights obligation from the original May 2026 private placement.
Key Facts
- Fidus issued $120,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Notes due 2029 in a private placement on May 29, 2026.
- The company completed an exchange offer on October 20, 2026, exchanging all Restricted Notes for an equal principal amount of registered Exchange Notes.
- The Exchange Notes were issued under a Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated October 20, 2026, with U.S. Bank Trust Company as trustee.
- The Exchange Notes mature on June 1, 2029, bear interest at 6.625% per annum, and are unsecured obligations ranking pari passu with existing unsecured debt.
- The indenture includes a covenant requiring the Consolidated Asset Coverage Ratio to be at least 1.50 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter.
- The exchange offer did not raise new capital or alter the company's total debt outstanding.
Financial Impact
No new capital raised; $120 million in 6.625% notes remain outstanding with the same terms as before the exchange.
Risk Factors
- The indenture contains a minimum asset coverage ratio of 1.50x; a breach could trigger an event of default.
- The notes are structurally subordinated to all subsidiary-level debt, including the SPV credit facility and SBIC subsidiary borrowings.
