Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 15, 2015, Fifth Street Senior Floating Rate Corp. (“FSFR”) and its wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary, FS Senior Funding II LLC (the “Borrower”), entered into a five-year $175 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with the lenders referenced therein (the “Lenders”), Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral agent. The Credit Facility has a three-year reinvestment period and bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum for borrowings used to acquire broadly syndicated loans and LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum for other loans. For the first year following the expiration of the reinvestment period, the interest rate will be 3.50% per annum. For the second year following the expiration of the reinvestment period and thereafter the interest rate will be 4.00% per annum.
In addition, the Borrower will pay the Lenders a non-usage fee of either 0.50% per annum on the unused amount of the Credit Facility (if the advances outstanding on the Credit Facility exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments by Lenders to make advances on such day) or 0.75% per annum on the unused amount of the Credit Facility (if the advances outstanding on the Credit Facility do not exceed 50% of the aggregate commitments by Lenders to make advances on such day) for the duration of the reinvestment period. Accrued interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly, and the maturity date of the Credit Facility is January 15, 2020.
FSFR issued a press release on January 21, 2015 to announce the closing of the Credit Facility, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The foregoing description of the Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of agreements relating to the Credit Facility, attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
