Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets |
On July 28, 2023, AG Twin Brook Capital Income Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (“TCAP”), completed its previously announced acquisition of AG Twin Brook BDC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and, together with TCAP, the “Parties”), with TCAP continuing as the surviving company (the “Transaction”). The Transaction was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated May 19, 2023, by and between the Parties. Prior to the Transaction closing, the Company was an affiliated business development company (“BDC”) managed by AG Twin Brook Manager, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. (“Angelo Gordon”). TCAP is a public, non-exchange traded BDC, managed by AGTB Fund Manager, LLC, which is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Angelo Gordon.
The board of trustees of TCAP and the board of directors of the Company (each, a “Board”), in each case, including the majority of the trustees or directors, as applicable, who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)), approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transaction, consistent with the requirements under Rule 17a-8 of the 1940 Act. The same individuals that serve as trustees on TCAP’s Board also serve as directors on the Company’s Board. In addition, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transaction, were approved by TCAP’s shareholders and the Company’s stockholders at their respective special meetings, each held on July 18, 2023.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Parties caused the Transaction to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 28, 2023. The Transaction became effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger on July 28, 2023 (the “Effective Time”), as agreed to by the Parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger.
As of the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive $20 per share in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Consideration”), subject to any applicable withholding taxes. TCAP paid total cash consideration in connection with the Transaction of approximately $193 million (the “Total Consideration”).
TCAP funded the Total Consideration for the Transaction with $180 million of borrowings under its credit facilities and $13 million of available cash.
The foregoing summary description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the Transaction, does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 19, 2023 and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Further, the information set forth in the Current Reports on Form 8-K and the definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 19, 2023, July 21, 2023 and June 16, 2023, respectively, are incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
