Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, MSCC Funding I, LLC (the "SPV"), entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") led by Truist Bank ("Truist"), with Truist serving as administrative agent and as one of three initial lenders under the facility.  The Revolving Credit Facility provides for $240 million of aggregate initial commitments with an accordion feature that allows for increases up to $450 million of total commitments from new and existing lenders on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments.  

At the 2004 Athens Olympics, American air-rifle shooter Matt Emmons, the reigning world champion in the 50-meter three-position event, held a seemingly insurmountable lead.  Going into his final shot, Emmons was in first place and needed only a mediocre score to win gold.  Emmons aimed, fired, and hit his target – the wrong target, one lane over.  He received no score for that shot and finished in eighth place.  

Emmons’ mistake illustrates the importance of aiming at the right target.  In April of 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department announced the Main Street Loan Program (the “MSLP”), which was designed to provide emergency liquidity to small and mid-sized businesses.  Although well-intentioned, the MSLP, like Emmons, was aimed at the wrong target, and ultimately missed the mark.
