Insights

Credit and capital structure analyst

Gladstone Capital is retiring $207M of notes at par plus interest, reshaping its debt profile.

Gladstone Capital is fully redeeming its 5.125% Notes due 2026 and 7.75% Notes due 2028, totaling $150,000,000 and $57,000,000 in principal, respectively. Both redemptions occur at 100% of principal plus accrued interest on their stated October 2025 redemption dates.

Eliminating these notes will change the company’s interest expense and maturity schedule, but the excerpt does not describe replacement financing or balance sheet context. The 7.75% Notes’ delisting from the Nasdaq Global Select Market simply reflects their full redemption rather than an ongoing trading issue.
