    NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:LIEN), a specialty finance company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC"), today announced that the Company has closed a new $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") led by an FDIC-insured financial institution. The Credit Facility matures in March 2028 and bears interest at SOFR plus 3.00%.

    Scott Gordon, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer of the Company, commented, "We are pleased to close this new Credit Facility and secure an attractive source of additional capital from an industry-leading banking partner. With no current debt outstanding, the Credit Facility provides us with significant liquidity and the flexibility to grow the Company's portfolio as we seek to capitalize on the robust lending opportunities in the originations pipeline. We will continue to add investments to the portfolio in a disciplined manner and will take a prudent approach to balance sheet management, with a more conservative leverage profile than that of other BDCs."

    The closing of the Credit Facility marks another recent milestone in the development of the Company, following the Company's announcement in December of a dividend of $0.34 per share for the quarter ending December 31, 2024, which represented a 36% increase from the $0.25 per share dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

    Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. is the only publicly traded BDC primarily focused on the U.S. cannabis industry and also seeks to capitalize on opportunities in other niche or esoteric situations that are typically underserved by traditional sources of capital, with the goal of investing in uncorrelated, idiosyncratic credit opportunities with attractive risk adjusted returns.

    Investment portfolio highlights as of October 1, 2024:

    • 100% senior-secured loans
    • No positions classified as non-accrual
    • 17.2% gross weighted-average yield of debt investments(1)
    • 79% of the portfolio (% of debt investments fair value) is floating rate loans, and 99% of such loans (% of debt investments fair value) have floors
    • Attractive portfolio company credit metrics: (2)
      • Weighted average Sr. Secured Net Debt / EBITDA of 1.6x
      • Weighted average interest coverage of 4.1x
      • Median revenue and EBITDA of $85mm and $19mm, respectively

    Chicago Atlantic BDC Advisers, LLC (the "Adviser") aims to develop a market-leading BDC lending platform focused on delivering alpha through uncorrelated, idiosyncratic credit opportunities in cannabis and other niche or esoteric opportunities where few capital providers with requisite expertise are present. The Company leverages and builds upon the same expertise that has supported the track records of the Company's affiliated lending vehicle Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance Inc. (NASDAQ:REFI) and private funds managed by affiliates of the Adviser.

    (1) Weighted Average Portfolio Yield on Debt Investments ("Portfolio Yield") is the weighted average of the annualized yield for each debt investment in the portfolio weighted by the fair value of each debt investment as of 9/30/24 for the Company and 9/28/24 for the portfolio of loans that the Company acquired from Chicago Atlantic Loan Portfolio, LLC (the "Reference Date"). The yield for each debt investment is calculated by dividing (a) the sum of (i) the stated annual cash interest rate of the debt investment as of the Reference Date, (ii) the stated annual payment-in-kind interest rate, if any, of the debt investment as of the Reference Date, (iii) the difference between the par value and the fair value of the debt investment, expressed as a percentage of the par value of the debt investment, and annualized based on the remaining term of the debt investment as of the Reference Date, and (iv) the exit fee of the debt investment, if any, expressed as a percentage of the par value of the debt investment and annualized based on the remaining term of the debt investment as of the Reference Date, by (b) the fair value of the debt investment, expressed as a percentage of the par value of the debt investment. The Portfolio Yield calculation does not reflect any prepayment penalties or early payoffs with respect to the debt investments. The Portfolio Yield is gross of expenses and excludes cash and equity holdings. The Portfolio Yield would be lower if the calculation reflected expenses and cash holdings. The Portfolio Yield does not represent actual investment returns to the Company's stockholders and the Company may not actually realize the foregoing yield of any specific debt investment, including if the remaining term of the debt investment is less than a year.

    (2) Amounts were derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements, as of October 1, 2024, have not been independently verified by the Company, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, the Company makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information.
