WhiteHorse Finance Halves JPMorgan Credit Facility to $50M, Secures 1% Premium Waiver
WHF sits 16% above its 52-week low of $6.07.
Summary
WhiteHorse Finance, through its subsidiary, has amended its loan agreement to reduce its JPMorgan credit facility from $100 million to $50 million. The amendment, effective March 10, 2026, also includes a waiver by the lenders of a 1% premium. This move follows the company's recent 10-K filing on March 6, which highlighted deteriorating portfolio asset quality and expected markdowns. While the company states the reduction is to better match current portfolio needs, the 50% cut in available credit significantly impacts its financial flexibility and borrowing capacity. The waiver of the 1% premium offers a minor cost saving, but the overall reduction could signal a more cautious outlook or tighter lending conditions. Investors should monitor future financing activities and the company's ability to manage its portfolio given these changes and the previously disclosed asset quality issues.
