Franklin BSP Capital Corp Amends Credit Facility, Raises Limit to $400M
What Happened
- Franklin BSP Capital Corp (FRBP) disclosed on April 16, 2026 (effective April 10, 2026) that its wholly‑owned financing subsidiary, FBLC Funding I, LLC, entered into Amendment No. 5 to the loan and servicing agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (administrative agent) and U.S. Bank entities (collateral custodian and collateral agent).
- The amendment increases the Amended Credit Facility from $300,000,000 to $400,000,000, reduces the borrowing spread from 2.15% to 1.95% per annum, extends the Facility Maturity Date from August 25, 2028 to April 10, 2031, and extends the Reinvestment Period End Date from August 25, 2026 to April 10, 2029. The Subsidiary also incurred customary costs in connection with the amendment.
- The filing is reported as Item 1.01 (material definitive agreement) and Item 2.03 (creation of a direct financial obligation); the Fifth Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1.
Key Details
- Facility amount increased: $300M → $400M.
- Borrowing spread lowered: 2.15% → 1.95% per year.
- Facility maturity extended: Aug 25, 2028 → Apr 10, 2031.
- Reinvestment period extended: Aug 25, 2026 → Apr 10, 2029.
- Parties include Franklin BSP Capital Corp (collateral manager), FBLC Funding I, LLC (borrower), Wells Fargo Bank NA (administrative agent) and U.S. Bank entities (collateral roles).
Why It Matters
- For investors, the amendment provides the subsidiary with a larger committed borrowing capacity and a lower interest spread, and it extends the timeline for availability of funding and reinvestment — all concrete changes to the company’s financing arrangements.
- These changes could affect the company’s liquidity profile and financing costs going forward; the filing does not state any direct change to dividends or portfolio strategy. The detailed amendment is included as an exhibit to the 8‑K for review.
