Debt Facility Designed to Focus on Senior Secured Loans

Waives 75 Basis Points of Base Management Fees on Assets Held in Subsidiary

OFS Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:OFS) (“OFS Capital” or the “Company”), a business development company, announced today that it has established a $150 million secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") through a newly-formed indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The new entity will primarily hold first lien loans, including unitranche loans. Management believes that the Credit Facility will provide sponsors and management teams with continued access to flexible capital and improve OFS Capital’s deal flow.

OFS Capital Management, LLC, the Company’s investment adviser, has agreed to waive a portion of its base management fee by reducing it to 1%, from 1.75%, on assets held in the subsidiary. Such waiver will be renewable on an annual basis and will apply when statutory leverage exceeds 1.0x debt to equity.

“We are excited to announce this new financing arrangement, which we believe will improve OFS’s return on equity,” said Bilal Rashid, OFS Capital's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We have been gravitating toward more senior loans, and we expect that this additional credit facility will provide us with the flexibility to capitalize on the benefits provided by the Small Business Credit Availability Act. OFS Capital Management manages $2.2 billion in assets, employs 46 professionals and invests across the corporate loan market. As a result, we believe that we are well positioned to benefit from this opportunity.”

The Credit Facility has a five-year term with a three-year investment period, during which pricing will range from Libor plus 160-250 basis points, depending on asset type.

The Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets held by the new subsidiary and includes customary covenants, including minimum asset coverage and minimum equity requirements.

The description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Credit Facility and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the documentation for the Credit Facility.
