Conservative Leverage - Regulatory
Passage of the Small Business Credit Availability Act in December 2017 provided the opportunity for BDCs to obtain
board or shareholder approval to access additional leverage by lowering the required asset coverage to 1.50x
MAIN received shareholder approval, effective as of May 3, 2022, to adopt the 1.50x asset coverage ratio
MAIN has historically operated at conservative regulatory leverage levels, in all cases with significant cushion to the
1.50x regulatory limits, and proven through historical performance that MAIN does not require access to additional
leverage to generate market leading returns
MAIN's Historical Asset Coverage Ratio:
