Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 22, 2016, Apollo Investment Corporation (the “Company”) amended and restated its senior secured, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (the “Amended & Restated Facility”). The Amended & Restated Facility has lender commitments of $1,140,000,000 and allows the Company to seek additional commitments from new and existing lenders in the future, up to an aggregate facility size not to exceed $1,965,000,000. The final maturity date of the Amended & Restated Facility is December 22, 2021. Pricing for eurocurrency borrowings will be 175 or 200 basis points over Adjusted LIBO Rate, and pricing for Alternate Base Rate borrowings will be 75 or 100 basis points over an Alternate Base Rate, in each case determined based on the total amount of the Borrowing Base relative to the total commitments available under the Amended & Restated Facility plus the aggregate amount of certain other indebtedness minus the amount of fully cash collateralized letters of credit pursuant to the Amended & Restated Facility.
 
Under the Amended & Restated Facility, the Company has made certain representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar revolving credit facilities, including, without limitation, covenants related to: (a) limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, (b) limitations on certain investments, (c) limitations on certain asset transfers and restricted payments, (d) maintaining a certain minimum shareholders’ equity, (e) maintaining a ratio of total assets (less total liabilities) to total indebtedness, of the Company and its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions), of not less than 2.0:1.0, and (f) limitations on the creation or existence of agreements that prohibit liens on certain properties of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The Amended & Restated Facility also continues to include usual and customary events of default for senior secured revolving credit facilities of this type.
 
In addition to the asset coverage ratio described above, borrowings under the Amended & Restated Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) will continue to be subject to compliance with a Borrowing Base that will apply different advance rates to different types of assets in the Company’s portfolio. Borrowings under the Amended & Restated Facility will also continue to be subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Terms used in the foregoing paragraphs have the meanings set forth in the Amended & Restated Facility. The description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Amended & Restated Facility and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions in such Amended & Restated Facility, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
