March 19, 2025

Expanded Credit Limits Strengthen Liquidity

Carlyle Secured Lending has secured a major boost to its financing capabilities. A newly amended credit agreement increases its revolving credit facility from $790 million to $935 million, expanding the total borrowing capacity to approximately $1.4 billion. This move strengthens the company’s ability to fund investments and manage liquidity with greater efficiency.

The amendment, finalized on March 12, 2025, enhances flexibility across multiple fronts. The sublimit for swingline loans rises from $50 million to $75 million, while the letter of credit sublimit moves from $25 million to $30 million. These increases provide additional short-term funding options, ensuring Carlyle Secured Lending can quickly access capital when needed.

Extended Deadlines Offer Long-Term Stability

Beyond higher credit limits, the company also extended key deadlines. The availability period now runs through March 12, 2029 —nearly two years longer than the previous August 2027 cutoff. The maturity date has been pushed to March 12, 2030, giving the company a longer window to manage repayment.

Strategic Positioning in a Competitive Market

The credit facility, arranged with JPMorgan Chase Bank as administrative and collateral agent, is a critical tool in Carlyle Secured Lending’s financing strategy. With extended terms and expanded borrowing capacity, the company is well-positioned to support its investment pipeline and navigate market shifts with agility.
