Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 28, 2021, BCRED Maroon Peak Funding LLC (SPV), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackstone Private Credit Fund (the Fund), entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) with Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (MS). Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. serves as administrative agent (the Administrative Agent), U.S. Bank National Association, serves as collateral agent and the Fund serves as collateral manager under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Advances may be used to finance the purchase or origination of broadly syndicated loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and will initially bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate then in effect plus the applicable spread of 1.30% per annum. After the expiration of a one year base period, the applicable spread on outstanding advances will be increased to 2.00% per annum.
The initial principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is $500 million. The Revolving Credit Facility has an accordion feature, subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, which could bring total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to up to $800 million. Proceeds from borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used to fund portfolio investments by SPV and to make advances under revolving loans or delayed draw term loans where SPV is a lender. All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility must be repaid by the date that is two years after the closing date of the Revolving Credit Facility, unless the parties have entered into an extension agreement.
SPVs obligations to the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in all of SPVs portfolio investments and cash. The obligations of SPV under the Revolving Credit Facility are non-recourse to the Fund, and the Funds exposure under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the value of the Funds investment in SPV.
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. During the continuation of an event of default, the Administrative Agent may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility immediately due and payable.
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.
The information required by Item 2.03 contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
