Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 28, 2021, SLR Investment Corp. (the “Company”), amended and extended its senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Citibank, N.A. acting as administrative agent, and for which Citibank, N.A., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation acted as Joint Lead Bookrunners and Joint Lead Arrangers. In connection with this amendment, commitments under the Credit Facility increased to $700 million from $620 million. The amendment to the Credit Facility, among other things, allows for greater investment flexibility and extends the final maturity date to December 28, 2026. The stated interest rate has also been reduced to LIBOR plus 1.75% to 2.00%, based on certain conditions related to the size of the borrowing base under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility includes usual and customary events of default and covenants for credit facilities of this nature.

Borrowing under the Credit Facility remains subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The description above is only a brief summary of the material provisions of the Credit Facility and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
