Horizon will issue 20,370,693 new shares, with former MRCC stockholders owning 29.86% of the combined company and legacy Horizon stockholders owning 70.14%. MRCC stockholders will also receive a $0.60 per-share final cash distribution from MRCC. Horizon intends to use the cash it received to repay part of its debt and to make new investments.
Horizon’s adviser agreed to waive up to $4 million of management and incentive fees over four quarters, and the Board plans to use $27.6 million of undistributed taxable earnings to supplement monthly distributions for two quarters following closing, subject to future Board approval. The company also reaffirmed its $10 million stock repurchase program and reshaped its Board, adding former MRCC director Thomas Allison as an independent director.
Horizon Technology Finance Corporation entered into a limited liability company agreement with CR Financial Holdings to form a new joint venture, HRZN CRFH LLC. The partners have committed up to $100,000,000 of capital, with Horizon committing up to $87,500,000 and CRFH up to $12,500,000, invested as membership interests.
The joint venture will provide growth capital financing solutions to primarily U.S.-based small- and micro-cap public companies, generally targeting financings in the $5–$25 million range and may use warehouse credit facilities to leverage its equity capital. Governance and investment decisions will be shared equally through a four-person board and four-person investment committee with equal representation from each partner.
The venture is described as aligned with Horizon’s long-term strategy of expanding its secured lending to venture capital and private equity-backed companies and publicly traded companies, with potential support on larger investments from Monroe Capital, which manages approximately $24 billion in assets as of January 1, 2026.

After the asset sale, MRCC will merge into HRZN, which will remain a public company managed by Horizon Technology Finance Management LLC and continue trading on Nasdaq as HRZN. The parties currently expect closing within the next 30 days, subject to customary conditions.
