MSC Income Fund Closes $150M Notes Offering at 6.83% to Refinance Maturing Debt
MSIF sits 17% above its 52-week low of $10.8.
Summary
MSC Income Fund completed a $150 million private notes offering at a fixed 6.83% rate, with $75 million closed today and the remainder due in October. Proceeds will repay the $150 million of 4.04% Series A Senior Notes maturing October 30, 2026, eliminating near-term refinancing risk. The new notes carry a higher rate than the maturing debt, which will modestly increase interest expense, but the refinancing secures long-term funding through 2029. This follows the company's recent $40 million buyback authorization and Q2 NII of $0.26 per share. The offering is unsecured and was placed privately, consistent with the fund's typical capital structure. Main Street Capital (MAIN) is the fund's adviser and a co-investor, but the financing is directly attributable to MSIF.
At the time of this announcement, MSIF was trading at $12.61 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $571.8M. The 52-week trading range was $10.80 to $14.46.
