SWK Holdings Corporation, a life science focused specialty finance company, announced that it has closed a $20 million revolving credit facility with AloStar Capital Finance, a division of State Bank & Trust.

SWK intends to use the credit facility to leverage its existing portfolio, as well as deploy additional capital for new opportunities. The credit facility has a three-year term. Amounts borrowed will bear interest at one month LIBOR plus 3.25%, with a LIBOR floor of 1%. SWK can request to increase the facility amount up to $35 million, subject to AloStar’s approval.

By strategically increasing our access to capital, we have enhanced our ability to grow our finance receivables portfolio.”
