Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 27, 2011, Gladstone Investment Corporation (the “Company”) announced that, on October 26, 2011, it entered into a fourth amended and restated credit agreement through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gladstone Business Investment, LLC, to increase the commitment amount of its revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) to $60 million. The Credit Facility was arranged by Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T”) and Key Equipment Finance, Inc. as Joint Lead Arrangers and Managing Agents, and BB&T as Administrative Agent. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Credit Facility may be expanded up to $175 million through the addition of other committed lenders to the facility. The Credit Facility matures on October 25, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”), and, if not renewed or extended by the Maturity Date, all principal and interest will be due and payable on or before October 25, 2015 (one year after the Maturity Date). Advances under the Credit Facility will generally bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum, with an unused fee of 0.50% on undrawn amounts. There are two one-year extension options, to be agreed upon by all parties, which may be exercised on or before October 26, 2012 and October 26, 2013, as applicable. The Company incurred fees of $0.7 million in connection with this amendment.

The foregoing description of the Credit Facility is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text thereof, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.
