NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 17, 2018--
紐約--(美國商業新聞網)--2018年9月17日--
Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. (the "Company", "GS BDC") (NYSE:GSBD) announced today that it has amended its senior secured revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility") to, among other things, reduce the Company's minimum asset coverage ratio financial covenant from 200% to 150% as further described in the Revolving Credit Facility. There was no fee or change in borrowing cost under the Revolving Credit Facility in connection with the amendment.
亞洲網加利福尼亞州聖何塞5月16日電高盛BDC公司(以下簡稱“公司”，“GS BDC”)(紐約證券交易所市場代碼：GSBD)今天宣佈，它已經修訂了其高級擔保循環信貸協議(“循環信貸安排”)，其中包括將公司的最低資產覆蓋率金融契約從200%降至150%，循環信貸安排對此有進一步的描述。循環信貸融資項下的借款成本並無與修訂有關的費用或變動。
This amendment follows the passage of the Small Business Credit Availability Act ("SBCA Act") in March, 2018, which seeks to increase the availability of funding to middle market U.S. companies by increasing capital available to business development companies, such as GS BDC.
這一修訂是在2018年3月通過小企業信貸可用性法案(SBCA Act)之後進行的，該法案旨在通過增加GS BDC等業務開發公司的可用資金，增加對美國中端市場公司的融資可獲得性。
"Since the passage of the SBCA Act approximately six months ago, we have worked diligently to secure the necessary approvals from our various stakeholders to position the Company to benefit from the increased flexibility resulting from the change in law. This amendment to our credit facility marks the last necessary approval in that process, and we look forward to continuing to execute our core strategy of direct lending to middle market businesses, but with the added benefit of a broader product set for borrowers," said Brendan McGovern, CEO of the Company.
該公司首席執行官布蘭登·麥戈文説：“自從大約6個月前SBCA法案通過以來，我們一直在努力爭取我們各利益相關者的必要批准，使公司能夠從法律變化帶來的更大靈活性中受益。對我們信貸安排的這一修正案標誌着這一過程中的最後一次必要批准，我們期待着繼續執行我們的核心戰略，即直接向中端市場企業放貸，但同時為借款人提供更廣泛的產品集，這也是我們的額外好處，”該公司首席執行官布倫丹·麥戈文(Brendan McGoven)説。
Jonathan Lamm, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, remarked, "We appreciate the thought leadership from our lending syndicate as we executed on this important amendment to our borrowing facility. We expect to continue to finance the Company in a prudent manner, which includes seeking to further diversify our sources of funding, and endeavoring to maintain a meaningful cushion to the asset coverage limitation."
該公司首席財務官喬納森·拉姆(Jonathan Lamm)表示：“我們感謝我們的貸款銀團在執行對我們借款安排的這項重要修訂時發揮的思想領導作用。我們預計將繼續以謹慎的方式為公司提供資金，包括尋求進一步使我們的資金來源多樣化，並努力保持對資產覆蓋範圍限制的有意義的緩衝。”
