Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 14, 2010, Gladstone Investment Corporation (the “Company”) announced that on April 13, 2010, it entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement through its wholly-owned subsidiary Gladstone Business Investment LLC providing for a $50 million revolving line of credit arranged by Branch Banking and Trust Company as administrative agent (the "Credit Facility"). Key Equipment Finance Inc. also joined the Credit Facility as a committed lender. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Credit Facility may be expanded up to $125 million through the addition of other committed lenders to the facility. The Credit Facility matures on April 13, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), and if it is not renewed or extended by the Maturity Date, all principal and interest will be due and payable on or before April 13, 2013 (one year after the Maturity Date). Advances under the Credit Facility will generally bear interest at the 30 day LIBOR rate (subject to a minimum rate of 2%), plus 4.5% per annum, with a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on undrawn amounts when advances outstanding are above 50% of the commitment and will be 1.0% on undrawn amounts if the advances outstanding are below 50% of the commitment. In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company paid an upfront fee of 1%.

The foregoing description of the Credit Facility is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text thereof, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.
