Barings BDC Secures $67M Cash Payment, New Credit Support for $11M Legacy Assets
BBDC is trading near its 52-week low of $7.96 (11% above the low).
Summary
Barings BDC has adopted a new Credit Support Agreement with Barings, providing downside protection for $11.0 million in remaining Sierra legacy investments.
