Analysis · FDUS · Unknown
This approval grants Fidus Investment Corporation significant flexibility to raise capital by issuing new shares, even if the price is below its net asset value. While this provides the company with a crucial tool for funding future investments and managing its balance sheet, it also introduces the potential for substantial dilution for existing shareholders if this authority is utilized. This is a common practice for Business Development Companies (BDCs) to ensure access to capital.
