Secured Credit Facilities

Our secured credit facilities are bilateral agreements we use to finance diversified pools of senior loan collateral with sufficient flexibility to accommodate our investment and asset management strategy. The facilities are uniformly structured to provide currency, index, and term-matched financing without capital markets based mark-to-market provisions.

(1)Represents the number of lenders with fundings advanced in each respective currency, as well as the total number of facility lenders.
(2)Based on the earlier of (i) the maximum maturity date of each secured credit facility, or (ii) the maximum maturity date of the collateral loans.
(3)Represents the principal balance of the collateral assets.
(4)Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans may be repaid prior to such date.

The availability of funding under our secured credit facilities is based on the amount of approved collateral, which collateral is proposed by us in our discretion and approved by the respective counterparty in its discretion, resulting in a mutually agreed collateral portfolio construction. Certain structural elements of our secured credit facilities, including the limitation on recourse to us and facility economics are influenced by the specific collateral portfolio construction of each facility, and therefore vary within and among the facilities.
