2024年9月發行了3,600萬美元的8.125%無擔保票據,到期日為2029年(“GECCH票據”),並在10月額外發行了540萬美元,全面行使承銷商的超額配售權。

管理層評論

“我們在第三季度表現強勁,NIl超出我們季度分配,並實現創紀錄的總投資收益達1170萬美元,”GECC執行長馬特·卡普蘭說道。“除了管理我們穩定的投資組合,我們成功地重新融資了GECCm票據,延長我們的債務到期概況。我們期待著在2024年以堅實基礎閉幕一個非常成功的年度,完成多次巨額淨資本籌集計畫並啟動我們的CLO合資企業。我們創新的JV方法利用CLO結構,已經增加了我們對長期無追溯金融的優先銀行貸款的風險敞口,並且已經產生穩健的現金收入。展望未來,我們相信我們仍然處於有利位置,以保持股息覆蓋並為我們的股東創造具吸引力的風險調整回報。”
