Agreement Provides Additional Borrowing Capacity and Risk Protection NEW YORK, March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GSC Investment Corp. (NYSE: GNV), a business development company, today announced that it has amended its credit facility with Deutsche Bank AG. The amendment increases the portion of the portfolio that can be invested in "CCC" rated investments in return for an increase in financing costs and expedited loan amortization. "We are pleased to have reached this agreement with our lender," said Seth M. Katzenstein, Chief Executive Officer of GSC Investment Corp. "Despite the increase in borrowing costs, the increase in the limit for "CCC" rated investments improves the Company's ability to navigate the current credit environment. We view this as a positive development for our shareholders." As amended, the credit facility requires the Company to amortize the facility over the next two years using principal proceeds from realizations and repayments, and a portion of the interest proceeds generated from the Company's investments. Any amounts remaining outstanding after the amortization period will be due in full on the second anniversary of the amendment. The margin on the facility has been increased from 70 basis points over the commercial paper rate to 400 basis points during the first year, and to 500 basis points during the following year. $58 million is currently outstanding under the facility.
