| Item 1.02 | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 30, 2008, TICC Capital Corp. (the Company) issued a press release announcing that it had undertaken steps to unilaterally terminate, effective December 30, 2008, its existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) under which Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) served as agent and each of RBC and Branch Banking & Trust Company served as lenders. The Company also announced that it had repaid all of its outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
As of the last amendment of the Credit Agreement on January 31, 2008, approximately $150 million was available for borrowing pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Since that time, the Company has unilaterally reduced the borrowings available under the Credit Agreement as outstanding borrowings were repaid. As a result, immediately prior to its termination, only $5 million was available for borrowing under the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, outstanding borrowings generally bore interest at a rate of approximately 1.75% over LIBOR. In addition, the Company was required to pay a fee equal to 0.25% of the commitment amount available under the Credit Agreement on a quarterly basis until termination. The Credit Agreement was scheduled to terminate on January 29, 2009.
A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the Companys repayment of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and its subsequent termination of the Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
