Financial Impact
Debt issuance of $300 million at 7.000% interest rate, used to refinance existing credit facility debt and potentially repay 2.700% notes due 2027
Risk Factors
- Higher interest expense from the 7.000% coupon vs. the 2.700% notes due 2027 may pressure net investment income if portfolio yields do not rise commensurately
- Unsecured notes are structurally subordinated to secured debt and structurally junior to subsidiary debt
- Leverage increase from incremental debt could pressure asset coverage ratios
- Refinancing risk if the credit facility cannot be reborrow at favorable terms
- Potential downgrade risk if asset coverage falls below investment grade triggers a change of control repurchase event
