TORONTO, Aug. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Flow Capital Corp. (TSXV: FW) (“Flow Capital” or the “Company“), a leading provider of growth venture debt in the form of senior secured loans to high-growth companies, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement“) with TBK Bank, SSB (“Triumph”), for a revolving committed credit facility in the principal amount of up to US$15 million.
Flow Capital intends to use the credit facility to finance additional investments and for general operating and corporate purposes. “Partnering with Triumph marks a significant milestone for Flow Capital,” said Alex Baluta, CEO of Flow Capital. “We are thrilled that Triumph has the confidence in our track record, processes, team, and overall strategy, to partner with us.”
“As we announced this past June 12, the 6-year portfolio-level IRR generated from our senior secured loan portfolio of growth venture debt loans stands at over 26%. As we consider our long-term optimal capital structure, this credit line will be a small but important component of our capital stack. This warehouse-type credit facility will help us maintain our steady pace of deployment, while our priority remains raising funds through our redeemable floating rate debentures, which will continue to be our primary funding source,” said Mr. Baluta.
“We are proud of the success of our portfolio companies over the past six years. By focusing on senior secured loans to high-growth companies, we have generated meaningful value for our shareholders while also providing a compelling return and income stream for our debenture holders, who are currently earning a yield between 10% and 11.83% (depending on unit currency and class),” Mr. Baluta continued.
The Triumph credit facility has a term of 36 months, with monthly interest payments to be made on the outstanding balance of the Loan, calculated monthly in arrears, based on SOFR plus a commercially reasonable credit spread. The Loan is secured against all present and after-acquired property of the Company. The Loan Agreement contains standard financial and negative covenants typical for a revolving credit facility.
In consideration of the amounts made available to the Company under the Loan, the Company will pay a finder’s fee commission to TerraNova Capital Equities, Inc.
