The Company’s asset coverage requirement applicable to senior securities was reduced from 200% to 150% effective September 23, 2020. As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the senior securities issued by the Company was $1.6 billion and the Company’s asset coverage was 217%. MS Credit Facility On March 15, 2021, the Company, FBCC Lending I, LLC, a wholly-owned, special purpose financing subsidiary of the Company (“FBCC Lending”), and the Adviser, as the servicer, entered into a loan and servicing agreement (together with the other documents executed in connection therewith, the “MS Credit Facility”) with Morgan Stanley Asset Funding, Inc. as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., as the lender, and U.S. Bank National Association as collateral agent, account bank and collateral custodian, that provides for borrowings of up to $100.0 million on a committed basis. Obligations under the MS Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of FBCC Lending, including its portfolio of investments and the Company’s equity interest in FBCC Lending. The obligations of FBCC Lending under the MS Credit Facility are nonrecourse to the Company. Any amounts borrowed under the MS Credit Facility will mature, and will be due and payable, on the maturity date, which is March 15, 2025. Prior to the Third Amendment (defined below), borrowings under the MS Credit Facility bore interest at three-month LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of zero, plus a spread of 2.25%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. FBCC Lending is subject to a non-usage fee of 0.50% on the difference between total commitments and the greater of the (i) drawn amounts and (ii) minimum utilization requirement, and, in addition, after the ramp-up period, FBCC Lending would pay interest on undrawn amounts up to the minimum utilization requirement under the MS Credit Facility if drawn amounts are less than such minimum utilization requirement. The Company paid an upfront fee and incurred other customary costs and expenses in connection with the MS Credit Facility. On July 1, 2021, FBCC Lending amended the MS Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum permissible borrowings under the MS Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $200.0 million on a committed basis (the “First Amendment”).

The entire facility is subject to a 0.25% administrative agent fee. On June 28, 2022, FBCC Lending entered into a fourth amendment (together with any documents executed in connection therewith, the “Fourth Amendment”) to the MS Credit Facility. The Fourth Amendment, among other things, increases the maximum permissible borrowings under the MS Credit Facility to $400.0 million from $300.0 million on a committed basis and amends the spread on borrowings under the MS Credit Facility to 2.25%. The MS Credit Facility was refinanced into the JPM Credit Facility (defined below) on October 4, 2023.

In the repurchase agreements, the Company enters into a trade to sell an investment and contemporaneously enter into a trade to buy the same investment back on a specified date in the future with the same counterparty.

The Company uses repurchase agreements as a short-term financing alternative. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no short-term borrowings outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded no interest expense in connection with short-term borrowings.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had an average outstanding balance of short-term borrowings of $31.0 million and bore interest at a weighted average rate of 0.02%. Secured Borrowings On August 21, 2023, the Company entered into a total return swap (“TRS”) with Nomura. A TRS is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in the market value of the assets underlying the TRS, which may include a specified security, basket of securities or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. The Company pays interest to Nomura for each loan at a rate equal to three-month SOFR plus 3.60% per annum. On April 24, 2024, the rate was amended to three-month SOFR plus 2.80% per annum. Upon the termination or repayment of any loan under the TRS, the Company will either receive from Nomura the appreciation in the value of such loan or pay to Nomura any depreciation in the value of such loan. The scheduled termination date for the TRS is February 17, 2025. The Company may terminate the TRS prior to February 17, 2025 upon the occurrence of certain events but in certain circumstances may be required to pay certain termination fees. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all total return swaps on the Nomura TRS were entered into contemporaneously with the Company’s sale of their reference assets. Due to the Company’s continuing involvement in these assets, these assets are not derecognized under ASC Topic 860 -- Transfers and Servicing, and are presented on the consolidated schedule of investments. Financing amounts related to these assets are presented as secured borrowings on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Any margin paid to the counterparty under the terms of the TRS agreement is included in the “Due from broker” on the Company’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The TRS is subject to the SEC rule related to the use of derivatives, reverse repurchase agreements and certain other transactions by registered investment companies. The rule requires that the Company trade derivatives and other transactions that create future payment or delivery obligations subject to a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain derivatives risk management program and reporting requirements. Generally, these requirements apply unless the Company qualifies as a “limited derivatives user,” as defined in the rule, in which case certain exceptions to these conditions would apply. The Company may qualify as a limited derivatives user if it adopts and implements written policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage the Company's derivatives risk and the Company's derivatives exposure does not exceed 10 percent of the Company's net assets as calculated in accordance with the rule.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The fair value of short-term financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, due to affiliates, accounts payable, short-term borrowings, and secured borrowings approximate their carrying value on the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities due to their short-term nature. At June 30, 2024, the carrying amount of the Company's secured borrowings approximated their fair value. The fair values of the Company's debt obligations are determined in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value in terms of the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value of the Company's borrowings is estimated based upon market interest rates for the Company's own borrowings or entities with similar credit risk, adjusted for nonperformance risk, if any. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company's borrowings would be deemed to be Level 3, as defined in Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair values of the Company’s remaining financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities are reported below:
