Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 14, 2018, Garrison Capital Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the fifth amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “Fifth Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement”) with Garrison Capital Advisers LLC (the “Adviser”), as investment adviser. The Fifth Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement was previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

The Fifth Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, which is effective beginning as of August 14, 2018, modifies the base management fee payable to the Adviser to an annual rate of 1.50% of the Company's average gross assets, excluding cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds, at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters; provided, however, the base management fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average value of the Company’s gross assets, excluding cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed funds, that exceeds the product of (i) 200% and (ii) the Company’s average net assets at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters.  For the avoidance of doubt, the 200% will be calculated in accordance with the 1940 Act and will give effect to the Company’s exemptive relief with respect to SBIC debentures.

 

The other commercial terms of the Company’s existing investment advisory relationship with the Adviser, including the incentive fee component, remain unchanged.

 

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fifth Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

On August 14, 2018, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders voted on a proposal to approve the application of the reduced asset coverage requirements in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to the Company, which would permit the Company to double the maximum amount of leverage that it is permitted to incur by reducing the asset coverage requirement applicable to the Company from 200% to 150% (without giving effect to any exemptive relief with respect to SBIC debentures). The issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote at the Special Meeting consisted of 16,049,352 shares of common stock outstanding on the record date, July 3, 2018. The final voting results from the Special Meeting were as follows:

 

Proposal. To permit the Company to double the maximum amount of leverage that it is permitted to incur by reducing the asset coverage requirement applicable to the Company from 200% to 150% (without giving effect to any exemptive relief with respect to SBIC debentures).
