Full Circle Capital Provides Update on First Quarter 2015

Portfolio Activity

 

First Quarter Direct and Managed Investments Totaled $37.9 million

 

GREENWICH, CT, October 1, 2014 – Full Circle Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:FULL) (“Full Circle Capital”) today released an update of its investment portfolio activity for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 ended September 30, 2014.

 

During the first quarter of 2015, Full Circle Capital completed portfolio investments totaling approximately $37.9 million, either directly or through vehicles it manages. This includes direct investments in four new portfolio companies totaling approximately $21.2 million, direct follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies totaling approximately $6.7 million and investments made through FC Capital Investment Partners, a vehicle managed by Full Circle Capital, of $10.0 million. These new portfolio investments are first lien secured debt investments in companies operating in the Software Security, Oil Field Services and Healthcare sectors. Also during the quarter, US Path Labs, LLC fully repaid its $3.5 million loan facility and Full Circle Capital sold $12.5 million of syndicated loans, including both Dynamic Energy Services International, LLC and RCS Capital Corp., in order to redeploy capital into higher returning assets.

 

Full Circle Capital restructured its loan facility to Blackstrap Broadcasting, LLC, with the loan returning to performing status as of September 22, 2014. In conjunction with this restructuring, the Company funded an additional $6.0 million to purchase the balance of the first lien facility. As a result, Full Circle Capital now holds a first lien loan with a face value of $11.2 million. This loan carries an interest rate of 11.00% (LIBOR +10.00%, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor) and is providing a 14.6% yield on the pro forma fair value, as adjusted for the transaction.

 

Full Circle Capital also amended the terms of its outstanding warrant in Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc. The Company previously held warrants to buy 1 million shares at an exercise price of $5.50 per share; following the amendment, Full Circle Capital holds warrants to buy 1.4 million shares at an exercise price of $4.00 per share.

 

Gregg J. Felton, Full Circle Capital’s President and Co-Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The ongoing pace of origination activity remains at robust levels, building on our strong fourth quarter results. Full Circle Capital continues to increase its asset production through an expanding variety of channels and across a broad set of industries.”

 

“We believe that the more liquid credit markets have begun to show signs of weakness with approximately $8.9 billion flowing out of high yield and leveraged loan funds during the past nine months. Since we expect credit fundamentals to remain relatively strong, we believe the softening demand from traditional high yield investors will enhance our origination opportunities.”

 

John Stuart, Full Circle Capital’s Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are also pleased to have announced the restructuring of our loan to Blackstrap Broadcasting, LLC which is now a performing asset with what we consider an attractive yield. We remain focused on optimizing outcomes of certain underperforming legacy positions as we believe the resolution of these positions, combined with continued portfolio growth and diversification, provides a stronger foundation for stockholder returns.”
