  Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 3, 2021, MSIF Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “SPV”), a wholly owned subsidiary of MSC Income Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPM”). JPM serves as administrative agent and lender, U.S. Bank, National Association, serves as collateral agent, securities intermediary and collateral administrator, and the Company serves as portfolio manager under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate in effect, plus the applicable margin of 2.90% per annum. The SPV will also pay a commitment fee of 0.75% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the financing commitments until the third anniversary of the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

The initial committed amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is $300 million. The Revolving Credit Facility has an accordion feature, subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, which could bring total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility up to $450 million. All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility must be repaid by February 3, 2025.

 

Proceeds from borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are being used to purchase certain investments and participation interests from HMS Funding I, LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“HMS Funding”). HMS Funding will, in turn, use the proceeds from these transactions to fully repay its existing indebtedness under the amended and restated credit agreement among, HMS Funding, as borrower, the Company, as equityholder and as servicer, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as administrative agent, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders (the “DB Facility”). Concurrently, the Company and HMS Funding will extinguish the DB Facility and transfer certain portfolio investments previously held by HMS Funding to the SPV. The DB Facility had been in an amortization period since April 2020, which among other things required that all monthly interest and principal proceeds from the Company’s investments securing the DB Facility (net of certain fees and expenses) be applied against the outstanding advances on the facility.

 

The SPV’s obligations to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the SPV’s portfolio of investments and cash. The obligations of SPV under the Revolving Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company, and the Company’s exposure under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the value of the Company’s investment in the SPV.

 

In connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, the SPV has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including if a change of control of the SPV occurs or if the Company is no longer the portfolio manager of the SPV. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, JPM may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility immediately due and payable.

 

The occurrence of an event of default (as described above) or a market value event (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) triggers a requirement that the SPV obtain the consent of JPM prior to entering into any sale or disposition with respect to portfolio assets, and the occurrence of a market value event triggers the right of JPM to direct the SPV to enter into sales or dispositions with respect to any portfolio assets, in each case in JPM’s sole discretion.

 

The foregoing description of the Revolving Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Revolving Credit Facility, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
