Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 2, 2015, Business Development Corporation of America II (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Advisory Agreement Amendment”) to its Investment Advisory and Management Services Agreement dated as of August 21, 2014 (the “Advisory Agreement”) with BDCA Adviser II, LLC, the Company’s investment adviser. The Company’s board of directors previously approved the entry into the Advisory Agreement Amendment on June 15, 2015. The Advisory Agreement Amendment revises the amounts for the Preferred Return (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) and “catch up” percentage (as used in the Advisory Agreement) from 1.6875% quarterly (6.75% annualized) to 1.75% quarterly (7.0% annualized), and from 1.9853% quarterly (7.94% annualized) to 2.0588% quarterly (8.24% annualized), respectively.
Also on July 2, 2015, the Company also entered into an amendment (the “Escrow Agreement Amendment”) to its Amended and Restated Escrow Agreement dated as of November 21, 2014 with UMB Bank, N.A. and Realty Capital Securities, LLC (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Agreement Amendment corrects an inconsistency in the Escrow Agreement and clarifies the circumstances under which the Minimum Offering Requirement (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) would be met.
