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. Our credit facilities are diversified across 15 counterparties, primarily consisting of top global financial institutions to minimize our counterparty risk exposure.
The following table details our secured credit facilities by spread over the applicable base rates as of March 31, 2024 ($ in thousands):

(1)Represents the number of lenders with fundings advanced in each respective currency, as well as the total number of facility lenders.
(2)Our secured debt agreements are generally term-matched to their underlying collateral. Therefore, the weighted-average maturity is generally allocated based on the maximum maturity date of the collateral loans, assuming all extension options are exercised by the borrower. In limited instances, the maturity date of the respective secured credit facility is used.
(3)Represents the principal balance of the collateral assets and the book value of the REO asset.
(4)Maximum maturity assumes all extension options are exercised by the borrower, however our loans may be repaid prior to such date.
(5)Includes Australian Dollar, Danish Krone, Swedish Krona, and Swiss Franc currencies.

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.
