As a result of the Transaction, the Company received a partial repayment of $77.7 million on senior notes of GBFC (the “Senior Notes”) held by the Company. Prior to the partial repayment, the outstanding aggregate balance of the Senior Notes held by the Company was $130.7 million, which made GBFC our largest portfolio company. In connection with the Transaction, the Company funded $25 million in new senior secured notes issued by an affiliate of Callodine and will retain a $5.0 million investment made during the third quarter via a senior secured bank facility to Gordon Brothers Finance Company, LLC, a subsidiary of GBFC, which entity will be acquired by Callodine in the Transaction. The Company’s equity ownership of GBFC will be unaffected by the Transaction, and GBFC will retain certain assets in the Transaction, primarily consisting of (i) an “acquired portfolio” note in the notional amount of $40.0 million linked to the future performance of the loan portfolio assets acquired by Callodine, (ii) a warrant to purchase equity, issued by a borrower in GBFC’s pre-transaction loan portfolio, (iii) an earnout note issued by an affiliate of Callodine with a maximum capped payout, subject to future contingencies, of $15.0 million, (iv) any amounts to be released to GBFC from an indemnity escrow account in the amount of $5.0 million established in connection with the Transaction and (v) cash in the amount of $9.4 million.
