WHY THIS GROUP EXISTS

Shared filing context

5/5 members covered

Moderate filing support: the strongest shared 10-Q/K relation is credit / rates across ARCC, BXSL, FSK, GBDC, OBDC.

credit / rates

“The Revolving Credit Facility provides for, on an aggregated basis, a total of outstanding term loans and revolving credit facility commitments in the principal amount of $ 3.90 billion, which is comprised of (a) a term loan in a principal amount of $75.0 million and (b) subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on the portfolio investments and other outstanding indebtedness, a revolving credit facility in a principal amount of up to $ 3.83 billion (increased from $ 3.74 billion on July 15, 2025).”

OBDC 10-Q · 2025-11-05
credit / rates affecting interest expense

“Interest expense decreased by $28.6 million due to a decrease in daily average borrowings from $10.0 billion to $8.4 billion, largely due to repayments, as well as a decrease in the average interest rate from 5.5% to 5.2% period-over-period.”

OBDC 10-Q · 2026-08-05
restructuring

“For the year ended December 31, 2024, the net unrealized loss was primarily driven by a decrease in the fair value of certain debt investments, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of certain equity investments, credit spreads tightening across broader markets, and the reversal of a prior period unrealized loss that was realized during the period in connection with the restructuring of a debt investment.”
