Prospect Capital Corporation announced that Prospect has increased total commitments to its five-year $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the "Facility") by $35.0 million to $792.5 million in the aggregate.

The Facility has an investment grade Moody's rating of Aa3.

"The addition of the new lender demonstrates a continued interest in the Facility within the lender community," said Steven Stone, Chief Credit Officer of Prospect. "We continue to identify potential new participants for the Facility and look forward to increasing the commitments to our $1.0 billion target."
