Material Changes and Transactions
Entry into Material Definitive Agreement (Item 1.01): Athena Funding IV LLC secured a credit facility with a maximum principal of $250 million. The facility includes a two-year reinvestment period and a stated maturity of August 14, 2036. Borrowings are subject to borrowing base tests, overcollateralization ratios, and interest coverage tests. Proceeds are designated for financing the origination and acquisition of eligible assets.
Creation of Direct Financial Obligation (Item 2.03): The Company issued $400 million in new notes under an existing indenture. These notes are fungible with $500 million of existing notes issued in June 2026. The Company intends to use net proceeds to pay down existing indebtedness, specifically under its senior secured revolving credit facility.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Use of Proceeds: The Company plans to utilize the $400 million note issuance to reduce leverage on its existing senior secured revolving credit facility.
- Covenants and Restrictions: The new credit facility contains maintenance covenants and events of default. Assets pledged to lenders under the credit facility are not available to pay the Company's other debts. Borrowings by the subsidiary count toward the Company's asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act.
- Change of Control: The Notes include a change of control repurchase provision requiring the Company to offer to purchase the notes at 100% of principal plus accrued interest if a change of control occurs and the notes are downgraded to below investment grade.
- Redemption Terms: The Notes may be redeemed prior to September 15, 2029, at a price based on the greater of the present value of remaining payments or 100% of principal. On or after that date, they may be redeemed at 100% of principal.
