The RCF has a lower borrowing cost of 190 basis points over SONIA (or equivalent), compared to 200 basis points over SONIA (or equivalent) on the prior facility. An arrangement fee will be payable upfront in addition to a commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the new RCF.

The RCF and the Accordion Facility (if exercised) provide the Company with additional liquidity which will be used for working capital purposes and to fund investments in accordance with the Company's investment policy.

The RCF is secured by, inter alia, a charge over the bank accounts of the Company, a charge over the shares in Sequoia IDF Asset Holdings S.A. (the "Subsidiary") held by the Company and a charge on the assets of the Company. In accordance with the Company's Investment Policy, any borrowings undertaken by the Company will not exceed 20 per cent. of the value of the assets of the Company less its liabilities.
