On November 4, 2013, Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (the “Company”) renewed and amended its revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) previously administered by Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) and facilitated the assignment of all rights and obligations of Wells Fargo under the Credit Facility to Key Equipment Finance, Inc. (“Key”).
The Credit Facility, as amended, provides the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Horizon Credit II LLC (“Credit II”), with a $50 million commitment from Key and contains an “accordion” feature allowing additional lenders to make additional commitments under the Credit Facility up to an aggregate commitment of $150 million. There can be no assurance that additional lenders will make any commitments under the Credit Facility.
Effective November 4, 2013, the Credit Facility has a LIBOR floor of 0.75%, compared to a previous LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The stated interest rate under the Credit Facility is one-month LIBOR plus 3.25%, for a current interest rate applied on outstanding balances of 4.00%, as compared to a previous interest rate of 4.25%. The amended Credit Facility has a three-year draw period beginning November 4, 2013 followed by a two-year term out option. The Credit Facility allows for a maximum advance rate of 50% against eligible loans and will be secured by all of the assets of Credit II.
