Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 15, 2017, AB Private Credit Investors Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Agreement”) to establish a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC”) as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent) and any other lender that becomes a party to the Credit Facility in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, as lenders (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”).

The initial maximum principal amount (the “Maximum Commitment”) of the Credit Facility is $30 million. The Maximum Commitment amount may be increased upon request of the Company to an amount agreed upon by the Company and the Administrative Agent. Such increase may be done in one or more requested increases, each in a minimum amount of $10 million and in $5 million increments thereof, or such lesser amount to be determined by the Administrative Agent, subject to certain terms and conditions. So long as no request for borrowing is outstanding, the Company may terminate the Lenders’ commitments (the “Commitments”) or reduce the Maximum Commitments by giving prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent. Any reduction of the Maximum Commitments shall be in an amount equal to $10 million or multiples thereof; and in no event shall a reduction by the Company reduce the Commitments to $35 million or less (in each case, except for a termination of all the Commitments).

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election at the time of drawdown, at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, Adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the Agreement) for the applicable Interest Period; and (ii) with respect to Reference Rate Loans (as defined in the Agreement), the greatest of: (i) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent as its prime rate, (ii) the rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers on such day, plus two hundred basis points (2.00%), provided that if such rate is not so published for any day that is a Business Day, the average of the quotation for such day on such transactions received by the Administrative Agent from three (3) Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by the Administrative Agent and, upon request of Borrowers, with notice of such quotations to the Borrowers and (iii) except during any period of time during which LIBOR is unavailable, one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus two hundred basis points (2.00%). The Company will also pay an unused commitment fee of 35 basis points (0.35%) on any unused commitments.

The Credit Facility will mature on November 14, 2018, subject to the Company’s option to extend the maturity date for up to one additional term not longer than 364 days, subject to the following conditions: (i) each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent consents to the extension in their sole discretion; (ii) the Company has paid an extension fee to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the extending Lenders consenting to such extension in an amount agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers at the time of the extension and as set forth in the applicable extension request; (iii) no potential default or event of default has occurred and is continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (iv) or on November 14, 2018; and (iv) the Company has delivered an extension request to the Administrative Agent not more than one hundred twenty (120) days or less than forty-five (45) days prior to November 14, 2018.

Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Credit Facility is secured by a first priority, exclusive, perfected security interest and lien in and on all of the Company’s right, title and interest, in, to and under, whether now existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located (a) all of the Company’s rights, titles, interests and privileges in and to the Capital Commitments, and the Capital Contributions made by its Investors, and all other rights, titles, interests, powers and privileges related to, appurtenant to or arising out of the Capital Commitments; (b) all of the Company’s rights, titles, interests, remedies, and privileges under the Constituent Documents (i) to issue and enforce Capital Calls and Pending Capital Calls, (ii) to receive and enforce Capital Contributions and (iii) relating to Capital Calls, Pending Capital Calls, Capital Commitments or Capital Contributions; (c) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants and events of default (with customary cure and notice provisions).
