Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 28, 2012, CCT Funding LLC (“CCT Funding”), a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company subsidiary of Corporate Capital Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”), dated August 22, 2011, to partially exercise the available accordion feature provided in the Credit Agreement. Deutsche Bank is the sole initial lender and also serves as administrative agent for the credit facility established pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

The Amendment provides for the extension of a new tranche of commitments (the “Tranche B Loans”) with borrowings in an aggregate amount up to $100,000,000, in addition to the existing $75,000,000 of available borrowings.

The Tranche B Loans will generally bear interest based on a three-month adjusted London interbank offered rate for the relevant interest period, plus a spread of 2.35% per annum. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. Any amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on August 22, 2013.

No other material modifications have been made to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement.
