Management Commentary, Risks, and Covenants
- Covenants: The Indenture requires compliance with asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and mandates the provision of financial information to Note holders if the Company ceases to be subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements.
- Change of Control: Upon a "change of control repurchase event," the Company must offer to purchase outstanding Notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
- Redemption: The Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company's option at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
