Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 21, 2017, Goldman Sachs Private Middle Market Credit SPV LLC (SPV), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldman Sachs Private Middle Market Credit LLC (the Company), entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (JPM). JPM serves as administrative agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as collateral agent, collateral administrator, bank and securities intermediary and the Company serves as portfolio manager under the Revolving Credit Facility. State Street Bank and Trust Company also acts as the Companys transfer agent, disbursing agent, custodian and administrator as well as SPVs custodian.
Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest (at SPVs election) at a per annum rate equal to either (x) the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (or other listed offered rate, depending upon the currency of borrowing) in effect or (y) a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate of JPM in effect on such day and (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, in each case, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is 3.50% per annum. SPV will also pay a commitment fee of 1.00% per annum (or 0.50% per annum during the first nine months from the date the Revolving Credit Facility was entered into) on the average daily unused amount of the financing commitments until the third anniversary of the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Revolving Credit Facility is a multicurrency facility, with borrowings available under U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling and Euros. As of November 21, 2017, the total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility were $400 million. The Revolving Credit Facility also has an accordion feature, subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, which could bring total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to $750 million. Proceeds from borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used to fund portfolio investments by SPV, make advances under delayed draw term loans or revolving loans where SPV is a lender or make distributions to the Company. All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility must be repaid by the fourth anniversary of the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to a six month extension of the maturity date with the consent of the administrative agent at such time.
SPVs obligations to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in all of SPVs portfolio of investments and cash. The obligations of SPV under the Revolving Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Company, and the Companys exposure under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the value of the Companys investment in SPV.
In order to borrow funds under the Revolving Credit Facility and make distributions (subject to certain exceptions), SPV must maintain a 45% or less ratio of the amount of net advances under the Revolving Credit Facility to the net asset value (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) of the portfolio investments of SPV, as modified by applicable concentration limits.
In connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, SPV has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including if a change of control of SPV occurs or if the Company is no longer the portfolio manager of SPV. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, JPM may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility immediately due and payable.
The occurrence of an event of default (as described above) or a market value event (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) triggers (i) a requirement that SPV obtain the consent of JPM prior to entering into any sale or disposition with respect to portfolio assets and (ii) the right of JPM to direct SPV to enter into sales or dispositions with respect to any portfolio assets, in each case in JPMs sole discretion.
The foregoing description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Revolving Credit Facility and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Revolving Credit Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
