Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 20, 2024, MSD Investment Corp. (the “Company”) issued and sold $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Series E Floating Rate Senior Notes due May 2028, which bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin of 3.00%, (the “Series E Notes”), $165,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.11% Series F Senior Notes due May 2030 (the “Series F Notes”), and $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Series G Floating Rate Senior Notes due May 2030, which bear interest at SOFR plus an applicable margin of 3.35%, (the “Series G Notes”, and, together with the Series E Notes, and the Series F Notes, the “Notes”) to certain investors in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes were issued and sold pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, dated November 20, 2024, by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein (the “Note Purchase Agreement”).
Interest on the Series F Notes shall be payable semi-annually on February 7 and August 7, commencing on February 7, 2025, and interest on the Series E Notes and Series G Notes shall be payable quarterly on February 7, May 7, August 7, and November 7, commencing on February 7, 2025. The Series E Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part at the option of the Company at any time or from time to time prior to May 20, 2028, at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest payments otherwise payable thereon and the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), and thereafter at par, upon not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days written notice by mail prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof.

The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company.
The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for senior unsecured notes issued in a private placement, including, without limitation, affirmative and negative covenants such as: (i) information reporting, (ii) maintenance of the Company’s status as a BDC within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (iii) a minimum consolidated net worth of $1,130,000,000, (iv) a minimum asset coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00, and (v) maintenance of a Debt Rating (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) for each series of Notes from an acceptable rating agency.
The Note Purchase Agreement also contains customary events of default with customary cure and notice periods, including, without limitation, nonpayment, incorrect representation in any material respect, breach of covenant, certain cross-defaults or cross-acceleration under other indebtedness of the Company, certain judgments and orders and certain events of bankruptcy.
