Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
AFT Agreement and Plan of Merger
On November 7, 2023, MidCap Financial Investment Corporation (the “Company” or “MFIC”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “AFT Merger Agreement”) with Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc., a Maryland corporation (“AFT” and, together with the Company and AIF (as defined below), the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”), AFT Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“AFT Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, Apollo Investment Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the Company’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The AFT Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the AFT Merger Agreement, as of the applicable effective time (the “AFT Effective Time”), AFT Merger Sub will be merged with and into AFT, with AFT continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “AFT First Merger”). Immediately after the effectiveness of the AFT First Merger, AFT will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (together with the AFT First Merger, the “AFT Mergers”). The boards of directors of both the Company (the “Company Board”) and AFT (the “AFT Board”), including all of the respective directors who are not “interested persons” of either Fund or its respective investment adviser as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Directors”), in each case, on the unanimous recommendation of a special committee comprised solely of certain Independent Directors of the Company or AFT, as applicable, have approved the AFT Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The parties to the AFT Merger Agreement intend the AFT Mergers to be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Merger Consideration
Subject to the terms and conditions of the AFT Merger Agreement, at the AFT Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of AFT (the “AFT Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the AFT Effective Time (other than shares owned by the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries, including AFT Merger Sub (the “AFT Cancelled Shares”)) will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) equal to the AFT Exchange Ratio (as defined below), plus any cash (without interest) in lieu of fractional shares. AFT has no preferred stock outstanding, and no preferred stock will be issued by the Company as a result of the AFT Mergers.
As of a mutually agreed date no earlier than 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the AFT Effective Time (such date, the “AFT Determination Date”), each of the Company and AFT will deliver to the other a calculation of its net asset value as of such date (such calculation with respect to AFT, the “Closing AFT Net Asset Value” and such calculation with respect to the Company, the “Closing AFT Merger Company Net Asset Value”), in each case using the same set of assumptions, methodologies and adjustments as has been historically used in preparing such calculation. Based on such calculations, the parties will calculate: (1) the “AFT Per Share NAV,” which will be equal to (i) the Closing AFT Net Asset Value divided by (ii) the number of shares of AFT Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the AFT Determination Date (excluding any AFT Cancelled Shares) and (2) the “AFT Merger Company Per Share NAV,” which will be equal to (i) the Closing AFT Merger Company Net Asset Value divided by (ii) the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the AFT Determination Date. The “AFT Exchange Ratio” will be equal to the quotient (rounded to four decimal places) of (i) the AFT Per Share NAV divided by (ii) the AFT Merger Company Per Share NAV.
The Company and AFT will update and redeliver the Closing AFT Merger Company Net Asset Value or the Closing AFT Net Asset Value, respectively, in the event that the closing of the AFT Mergers is subsequently materially delayed or there is a material change to such calculation between the AFT Determination Date and the closing of the AFT Mergers and as needed to ensure that the calculation is determined within 48 hours (excluding Sundays and holidays) prior to the AFT Effective Time.
Immediately following the AFT Effective Time, the Company will repay or prepay any amounts outstanding under AFT’s existing credit facility as of the AFT Effective Time, subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s senior secured credit facility.
1
Promptly following closing of the AFT Mergers, the Adviser or its affiliates will pay to holders of shares of AFT Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the AFT Effective Time a special payment equal to $0.25 per share of AFT Common Stock, subject to deduction for any applicable withholding tax. The specific tax characteristics of the $0.25 per share special payment have not yet been determined. No assurances can be given regarding the tax treatment to stockholders of the receipt of this special payment.
The AFT Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights, including if the AFT Mergers are not completed on or before November 6, 2024, or if the requisite approvals of the Company’s and AFT’s stockholders are not obtained. The AFT Merger Agreement provides that, upon the termination of the AFT Merger Agreement under certain circumstances involving entry into a definitive transaction by AFT with a third party, such third party that enters into the definitive transaction with AFT may be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $7,029,482. The AFT Merger Agreement also provides that, upon the termination of the AFT Merger Agreement under certain circumstances involving entry into a definitive transaction by the Company with a third party, such third party that enters into the definitive agreement with the Company may be required to pay to AFT a termination fee of $29,905,339.
Within thirty days following the closing of the AIF Mergers (as defined below) or the termination of the AIF Merger Agreement (as defined below) pursuant to the terms thereof, as applicable, subject to the closing of the AFT Mergers and applicable law, the Company shall distribute to the holder of each share of Company Common Stock as of a record date to be determined by the Company Board an amount in cash equal to $0.20 per share of Company Common Stock held by such holder. The specific tax characteristics of the $0.20 per share special distribution have not yet been determined. No assurances can be given regarding the tax treatment to stockholders of the receipt of this special distribution.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants
The AFT Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by each of the Company, AFT, AFT Merger Sub and the Adviser, subject to specified exceptions and qualifications. The AFT Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to the operation of each of the Company’s and AFT’s businesses during the period prior to the closing of the AFT Mergers, the preparation of a registration statement on Form N-14 (the “Registration Statement”), the holding of special meetings of the stockholders of the Company and AFT, and obtaining certain regulatory and third party consents, if any. The Company and AFT have agreed to convene and hold stockholder meetings for the purpose of obtaining the approvals required of the Company’s and AFT’s stockholders, respectively, and have agreed to recommend that the stockholders approve the applicable proposals.
The AFT Merger Agreement includes restrictions on the ability of the Company and AFT to solicit proposals for alternative transactions or engage in discussions regarding such proposals, subject to exceptions and termination provisions, which could have the effect of discouraging such proposals from being made or pursued. However, either the Company Board or the AFT Board may, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the AFT Merger Agreement (including the payment of the applicable termination fee described above), change its recommendation to its respective Fund’s stockholders, terminate the AFT Merger Agreement and enter into an agreement with respect to a superior proposal if the Company Board or AFT Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors thereto), as applicable, determines in its reasonable good faith judgment, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, that the failure to take such action would be a breach of the standard of conduct applicable to the Company Board or AFT Board, as applicable (taking into account, among other factors, any changes to the AFT Merger Agreement proposed by the other Fund).
Conditions to the AFT Mergers
Consummation of the AFT Mergers, which are currently anticipated to occur in the first half of 2024, is subject to certain closing conditions, including effectiveness of the Registration Statement, requisite approvals of the Company’s and AFT’s stockholders, absence of a material adverse effect of AFT and the Company, and certain other closing conditions set forth in the AFT Merger Agreement. Neither the closing of the AFT Mergers nor the closing of the AIF Mergers is contingent on the closing of each other.
