Mon. May 18, 2009; Posted: 04:10 PM

MCLEAN, Va., May 18, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- GLAD | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Gladstone Capital Corp. (Nasdaq:GLAD) (the "Company") announced that on May 15, 2009, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gladstone Business Loan, LLC, it entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement providing for a $127 million revolving line of credit arranged by Key Equipment Finance Inc. as administrative agent, replacing Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent (the "KEF Facility"). Branch Banking and Trust Company ("BB&T") also joined the KEF Facility as a committed lender. In connection with entering into the KEF Facility, the Company drew down borrowings of $104.3 million under the KEF Facility, which were used to make a final payment to Deutsche Bank, A.G. in satisfaction of all unpaid principal and interest owing to Deutsche Bank under the prior credit agreement. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the KEF Facility may be expanded up to $200 million through the addition of other committed lenders to the facility. Without the addition of other committed lenders, the KEF Facility provides a total commitment of $127 million through December 31, 2009, $102 million from January 1, 2010 to May 11, 2010, and $77 million thereafter. The KEF Facility matures on May 14, 2010, and if the facility is not renewed or extended by this date, all principal and interest will be due and payable on the scheduled maturity date of May 14, 2011. Advances under the KEF Facility will generally bear interest at the 30-day LIBOR or Commercial Paper ("CP") rate (subject to a minimum rate of 2%), plus 4% per annum, with a commitment fee of 0.75% per annum on undrawn amounts.
