Key Terms
business development companyfinancial
"PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. is a business development company which primarily invests..."
A business development company is a publicly traded investment vehicle that lends to and buys stakes in smaller or privately held companies, acting like a combination of a lender, investor, and business partner. It matters to investors because BDCs offer the potential for higher regular income through dividends and diversified exposure to growing businesses, but they can also carry greater credit and liquidity risk than typical stocks or bonds—think higher-yielding but riskier income instruments.
floating rate senior secured loansfinancial
"...primarily invests in U.S. middle-market private companies in the form of floating rate senior secured loans..."
A floating rate senior secured loan is a type of loan a company takes where the interest rate moves up or down with a market benchmark, the loan has first claim on repayment ahead of other creditors, and it is backed by specific assets as collateral. For investors this means income that adjusts when interest rates change, stronger protection if the borrower runs into trouble, and typically lower risk and yield than unsecured or junior debt—think of it like an adjustable-rate mortgage that gets paid back first and is tied to a pledged asset.
first lien secured debtfinancial
"...including first lien secured debt, second lien secured debt and subordinated debt."
A first lien secured debt is a loan or bond backed by specific assets that gives the lender the top legal claim on those assets if the borrower defaults. Think of it like holding the first seat in line for repayment from a company’s pledged property; that priority usually means lower risk and lower interest compared with unsecured or later‑ranked debt. Investors care because it determines how likely they are to recover money if the borrower runs into trouble and where this claim sits in the company’s payment order.
second lien secured debtfinancial
"...including first lien secured debt, second lien secured debt and subordinated debt."
A loan or bond secured by specific company assets that is legally ranked behind a first-lien creditor for repayment if the borrower defaults. It matters to investors because it offers higher interest than first-lien debt to compensate for greater risk, and its value and recoveries are more sensitive in distress—imagine two people entitled to the same safety deposit box, with the second person only getting what’s left after the first is paid.
subordinated debtfinancial
"...including first lien secured debt, second lien secured debt and subordinated debt."
Subordinated debt is a type of loan that is paid back after other debts have been settled if a company encounters financial trouble. It is considered riskier for lenders because they have lower priority in getting repaid, similar to being last in line during a payout. For investors, this means higher potential returns in exchange for taking on more risk.
forward-looking statementsregulatory
"This press release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the..."
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
