THL Credit Announces Launch of 10b5-1 Stock Trading Plan by its Advisor

THL Credit Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), the external investment advisor to THL Credit, Inc. (the “Company”), has informed the Company that it adopted a stock trading plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to purchase up to $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock.

“Our Advisor is actively implementing the strategy that I outlined on our most recent earnings call that is aimed to build confidence in the Company and improve the performance of the BDC,” said Chris Flynn, CEO of THL Credit. “Our Advisor’s ability to invest up to $10 million is a strong indication of its confidence in the BDC and its commitment to the Company’s shareholders.”

The stock trading plan is designed to allow the Advisor to purchase common stock at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws. The timing and amount of any common stock purchases will depend on the terms and conditions of the Plan, the market price of the common stock and trading volumes. No assurance can be given that any particular amount of common stock will be purchased.

Please see THL Credit’s 8-K for additional information on the Plan. THL Credit’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases, earnings releases, investor presentations and other financial information are available on its website at www.THLCreditBDC.com.
