Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 20, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), Capitala Business Lending, LLC (the “Borrower”), a direct, wholly owned, consolidated subsidiary of Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (the “Company”), amended its existing senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Third Amendment to Revolving Credit Facility”), with Mount Logan Management, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”), as collateral manager, the lenders from time to time parties thereto (each a “Lender”), KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, and U.S. Bank National Association, as custodian.

The Third Amendment to Revolving Credit Facility amends the definition of “Weighted Average Senior Debt Ratio Test” so that such test is satisfied if the Weighted Average Senior Debt Ratio is less than 4.5x (previously 4.25x).

The remainder of the senior secured revolving credit agreement remains unchanged.

The description above is only a summary of the Third Amendment to Revolving Credit Facility and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Third Amendment to Revolving Credit, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference thereto.
