Revolving Line of Credit
We, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Business Investment, are party to a Credit Facility with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as administrative agent, joint lead arranger and lender, Fifth Third Bank as managing agent, joint lead arranger and lender, the Adviser, as servicer, and certain other lenders party thereto. As of September 30, 2024, the Credit Facility provides for maximum borrowings of $200.0 million, with a revolving period end date of October 30, 2026 and a maturity date of October 30, 2028.
Advances under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at 30-day Term SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.35%, plus 3.15% per annum until October 30, 2026, with the margin then increasing to 3.40% for the period from October 30, 2026 to October 30, 2027, and increasing further to 3.65% thereafter with a SOFR credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points. The Credit Facility has an unused commitment fee on the daily unused commitment amount of 0.50% per annum if the daily unused commitment amount is less than or equal to 50% of the total commitment amount, 0.75% per annum if the daily unused commitment amount is greater than 50% but less than or equal to 65% of the total commitment amount, and 1.00% per annum if the daily unused commitment amount is greater than 65% of the total commitment amount.

Among other things, the Credit Facility contains a performance guaranty that requires us to maintain: (i) a minimum net worth of the greater of $210.0 million or $210.0 million plus 50% of all equity and subordinated debt raised, minus 50% of any equity or subordinated debt redeemed or retired after November 16, 2016, which equated to $348.7 million as of September 30, 2024; (ii) asset coverage with respect to senior securities representing indebtedness of at least 150% (or such percentage as may be set forth in Section 18 of the 1940 Act, as modified by Section 61 of the 1940 Act); and (iii) our status as a BDC under the 1940 Act and as a RIC under the Code. As of September 30, 2024, and as defined in the performance guaranty of the Credit Facility, we had a net worth of $789.2 million, asset coverage on our senior securities representing indebtedness of 229.3%, calculated in compliance with the requirements of Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act, and an active status as a BDC and RIC. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility.
Fair Value
We elected to apply the fair value option of ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” to the Credit Facility, which was consistent with our application of ASC 820 to our investments. Generally, the fair value of the Credit Facility is determined using a yield analysis, which includes a DCF calculation and also takes into account the assumptions the Valuation Team believes market participants would use, including the estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. As of both September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the discount rate used to determine the fair value of the Credit Facility was 30-day Term SOFR, with a 0.35% floor, plus 3.25% per annum, plus an unused commitment fee of 1.00%. Generally, an increase or decrease in the discount rate used in the DCF calculation may result in a corresponding decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of the Credit Facility. As of each of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Credit Facility was valued using Level 3 inputs and any changes in its fair value are recorded in Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of other on our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
