WALTHAM, Mass, September 14, 2017 – Great Elm Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: GECC) (the “Company”) announced today the pricing of its public offering of approximately $28.4 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.50% notes due 2022 (the “Notes”), which will result in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $27.0 million after payment of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Notes will mature on September 18, 2022, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the Company’s option on or after September 18, 2019. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per year payable quarterly on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, beginning October 31, 2017. The Company has also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional approximately $4.3 million aggregate principal amount of Notes to cover over-allotments, if any. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, and the Notes are expected to be delivered on or about September 18, 2017. The Company intends to apply to list the Notes on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the trading symbol “GECCD,” and if the application is approved, expects trading in the Notes to begin within 30 days from the original issue date.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering and cash on hand to redeem all of its outstanding 8.25% notes due 2020 (the “Full Circle Notes”), which currently amount to approximately $33.6 million plus accrued and unpaid interest. Pending the use of the net proceeds to redeem the Full Circle Notes, the Company may invest the net proceeds of this offering in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Government securities and other high-quality debt instruments that mature in one year or less, or "temporary investments", as appropriate.
