Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On December 9, 2009 Gladstone Capital Corporation (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Gladstone Business Loan, LLC, reduced the size of its credit facility with Key Equipment Financing Inc. (the “KEF Facility”) by $5 million, from $107 million to $102 million.  With this commitment reduction, Gladstone Business Loan, LLC will be in compliance with the KEF Facility requirement to reduce Key Bank’s commitment from $100 million to $75 million by December 31, 2009.  The KEF Facility, entered into on May 15, 2009, provides a total commitment of $127 million through December 31, 2009, $102 million from January 1, 2010 to May 11, 2010 and $77 million thereafter.  Under the KEF Facility, the first $50 million of commitment reductions are applied against Key Bank’s commitment, therefore the aforementioned $5 million was subtracted from Key Bank’s commitment, reducing it from $80 million to $75 million and leaving BB&T’s commitment unchanged at $27 million.  As a result of the manner in which the borrowing base is calculated under the KEF Facility, the $5 million reduction did not affect the Company’s availability under the KEF Facility.
