Portfolio Activity

 

Fourth Quarter Investments totaled $44.2 million

 

RYE BROOK, NY, July 10, 2014 – Full Circle Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:FULL) (“Full Circle Capital”) today released an update of its investment portfolio activity for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 ended June 30, 2014. For the fourth fiscal quarter, Full Circle Capital invested approximately $44.2 million, including new loan originations to 5 new portfolio companies totaling $35.3 million and follow on investments in existing portfolio companies totaling approximately $8.9 million.  For the full year ended June 30, 2014, portfolio origination activity totaled $92 million consisting of loans to 14 new portfolio companies and expanded investments in certain existing portfolio companies.

 

John Stuart, Full Circle Capital’s Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Since our fourth quarter and full year results won’t be published until early September, we wanted to update Full Circle Capital’s stockholders on our fiscal 2014 fourth quarter portfolio activity, which reached the highest level of portfolio investment since our initial public offering in 2010 and included record new origination activity. However, since most of these fourth quarter transactions closed late in the quarter, Full Circle will not realize the full benefit of the additional investment income until the first fiscal quarter of 2015.

 

“We are pleased to announce new origination activity has continued at robust levels and believe that the current rate of portfolio growth is a direct result of the important additions we made to our investment team during fiscal 2014 that have greatly expanded our breadth of opportunities. We look forward to providing additional details on our fourth quarter and full fiscal year performance when we report results in early September." 

 

Gregg J. Felton, Full Circle Capital’s President and Co-Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Despite competitive market conditions, Full Circle Capital has been able to increase its asset production relative to prior quarters through additional channels of deal sourcing across a broad set of industries and to enhance our overall portfolio diversification. While there tends to be less activity in the summer months, we expect to continue to access attractive investment opportunities and are enthusiastic about our forward pipeline as we enter fiscal 2015.”
