Full Circle Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:FULL) (“Full Circle

activity for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014 ended June 30, 2014.
For the fourth fiscal quarter, Full Circle Capital invested

$8.9 million. For the full year ended June 30, 2014, portfolio
origination activity totaled $92 million consisting of loans to 14
new portfolio companies and expanded investments in certain
existing portfolio companies.
John Stuart, Full Circle Capital’s Chairman and Co-Chief
Executive Officer, stated, "Since our fourth quarter and full year
results won’t be published until early September, we wanted to
update Full Circle Capital’s stockholders on our fiscal 2014 fourth
quarter portfolio activity, which reached the highest level of
portfolio investment since our initial public offering in 2010 and
included record new origination activity. However, since most of
these fourth quarter transactions closed late in the quarter, Full
Circle will not realize the full benefit of the additional
investment income until the first fiscal quarter of 2015.
“We are pleased to announce new origination activity has
continued at robust levels and believe that the current rate of
portfolio growth is a direct result of the important additions we
made to our investment team during fiscal 2014 that have greatly
expanded our breadth of opportunities. We look forward to providing
additional details on our fourth quarter and full fiscal year
performance when we report results in early September."
Gregg J. Felton, Full Circle Capital’s President and Co-Chief
Executive Officer, stated, “Despite competitive market conditions,
Full Circle Capital has been able to increase its asset production
relative to prior quarters through additional channels of deal
sourcing across a broad set of industries and to enhance our
overall portfolio diversification. While there tends to be less
activity in the summer months, we expect to continue to access
attractive investment opportunities and are enthusiastic about our
forward pipeline as we enter fiscal 2015.”
