Date of Report: November 20, 2025

Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not report revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or consolidated debt levels. The primary financial metric disclosed is the size of a new credit facility:
- Facility Size: Up to $150 million.
- Borrower: PSLF II SPV, LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of PennantPark Senior Secured Loan Fund II LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture).
- Guaranty Amount: Up to the Facility Size ($150 million) under specific non-recourse carveout conditions.
Material Changes
The filing details the execution of a new Credit Agreement on November 20, 2025, enabling the Borrower to access up to $150 million in borrowings. Concurrently, the Company entered into a Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA. This represents a new contingent liability for the Company, distinct from its prior consolidated financial position, as the underlying joint venture is unconsolidated.
Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
Guaranty Scope: The Company's guarantee is limited to specific "carveout" events rather than the full debt obligation. Covered events include:
- Willful misconduct, fraud, or misrepresentation by Sponsor Entities.
- Misappropriation or misuse of loan or collateral proceeds.
- Improper asset transfers for less than fair value.
- Breaches of the Collateral Manager's conflicts policy.
- Unauthorized liens or encumbrances on collateral.
- Covered impairment events arising from affiliation or intentional actions disadvantaging the borrower.
- Bankruptcy or insolvency events initiated or colluded in by a Sponsor Entity.
Risk Factors: The filing highlights risks associated with the unconsolidated joint venture structure and the potential for the Company to be liable for up to $150 million if the specified misconduct or impairment events occur.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current leverage and liquidity status of the unconsolidated joint venture (PennantPark Senior Secured Loan Fund II LLC).
- Review the full text of the Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) to understand specific definitions of "covered impairment events."
- Assess the impact of this $150 million facility on the Company's overall capital deployment strategy.
- Confirm whether any drawdowns have occurred under the new facility as of the filing date.
