Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 8, 2018, PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. (the “Company”), announced that it has upsized and completed all necessary amendments to its secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to enable it to use the flexibility and incremental leverage provided by the Small Business Credit Availability Act (“SBCAA”) in the future.

PFLT amended and extended the maturity of its Credit Facility, led by SunTrust Robinson Humphrey. PFLT grew the size of the Credit Facility to $520 million from $405 million. This increase was a result of expanding lender partner relationships. Pricing on this facility remained unchanged. Additionally, other key terms changed such that we will be able to operate within the asset coverage covenant that the SBCAA reduced from 200% to 150%.

The description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Credit Facility and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Facility.

A press release announcing the amendment to the Credit Facility is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
