Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 1, 2024, Chicago Atlantic BDC Advisers, LLC (formerly, Silver Spike Capital, LLC) (the “Adviser”), the investment adviser of Chicago Atlantic BDC, Inc. (formerly, Silver Spike Investment Corp.) (the “Company”), and Chicago Atlantic BDC Holdings, LLC (together with its affiliates, “Chicago Atlantic”), the investment adviser of Chicago Atlantic Loan Portfolio, LLC (“CALP”), consummated a transaction pursuant to which a joint venture between Chicago Atlantic and the Adviser has been created to combine and jointly operate the Adviser’s, and a portion of Chicago Atlantic’s, investment management businesses (the “Joint Venture”). As the Joint Venture caused the automatic termination of the prior investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Adviser (the “Prior Investment Advisory Agreement”), a new investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Adviser (the “New Investment Advisory Agreement”), which was approved by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), upon the recommendation of its special committee, and the Company’s stockholders, took effect upon the closing of the Joint Venture. The New Investment Advisory Agreement has the same base management and incentive fee as, and otherwise does not materially differ from, the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement.
On October 1, 2024, in connection with the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company entered into a new license agreement (the “New License Agreement”) with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to grant the Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to use the name “Chicago Atlantic.” Under the New License Agreement, the Company will have a right to use the “Chicago Atlantic” name, for so long as the Adviser or one of its affiliates remains the Company’s investment adviser. Other than with respect to this limited license, the Company will have no legal right to the “Chicago Atlantic” name. The New License Agreement does not materially differ from the prior license agreement between the Company and the Adviser, other than with respect to the licensed name.
On October 1, 2024, in connection with the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company and the Adviser entered into an expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to cap the Company’s operating expenses (excluding base management fees, incentive fees, expenses related to the Loan Portfolio Acquisition, and litigation and indemnification expenses) at an annualized rate of 2.15% of the Company’s net assets through September 30, 2025.
Information regarding the material relationships between the Company and the Adviser is set forth in “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions of Silver Spike Investment Corp.” in the Company’s proxy statement/prospectus dated August 30, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 30, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), and is incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.
The descriptions above are only summaries of the material provisions of the New Investment Advisory Agreement, New License Agreement and Expense Limitation Agreement and are qualified in their entirety by reference to copies of the New Investment Advisory Agreement, New License Agreement and Expense Limitation Agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 1, 2024, upon the closing of the Joint Venture, the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement was terminated.
Information regarding the material relationships between the Company and the Adviser is set forth in “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions of Silver Spike Investment Corp.” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and is incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On October 1, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition from CALP of a portfolio of loans (the “CALP Loan Portfolio”) in exchange for newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Loan Portfolio Acquisition”), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 18, 2024, between the Company and CALP (the “Loan Portfolio Acquisition Agreement”).
In accordance with the terms of the Loan Portfolio Acquisition Agreement, at the effective time of the Loan Portfolio Acquisition, the Company issued 16,605,372 shares of its common stock to CALP in exchange for the CALP Loan Portfolio, which was determined by the Company to have a fair value of $219,621,125 as of September 28, 2024.

The Company estimates the combined loan portfolio of the Company, upon the closing of the Loan Portfolio Acquisition, has a gross weighted-average YTM of approximately 19%.
Estimated Yield to Maturity (“YTM”) includes a variety of fees and features that affect the total yield, which may include, but are not limited to, original issue discount (“OID”), exit fees, prepayment fees, unused fees, and contingent features. The estimated YTM calculations require management to make estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the timing and amounts of loan draws on delayed draw loans, the timing and collectability of exit fees, the probability and timing of prepayments, and the probability of contingent features occurring. The Company has not assumed any prepayment penalties or early payoffs in its YTM calculations. Estimated YTM is based on current management estimates and assumptions, which may change. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. For floating rate loans, future Prime Rates are assumed to be equal to the Prime Rate applicable to the current interest payment period. Weighted average YTM of loans is gross of expenses, excludes cash holdings, and is calculated using values as of 9/28/24. The weighted average YTM of loans would be lower if the calculation reflected expenses and cash holdings. Estimated YTM is unaudited.
The net asset value and transaction fair value determinations described in this Current Report on Form 8-K were made pursuant to the requirements of, and solely for the purposes of, the Loan Portfolio Acquisition Agreement.
