Filed Under: Industry News

Runway Growth Finance, a leading provider of flexible capital solutions to late- and growth-stage companies seeking an alternative to raising equity, provided two operational updates. On March 18, 2025, the Company amended and extended its credit agreement with KeyBank. In addition, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) has also expanded the size of the Board from five members to eight members, as previously disclosed.

“These achievements strengthen our balance sheet and enhance our governance profile on the heels of Runway Growth Capital’s completed merger with BC Partners Credit,” said David Spreng, Founder and CEO of Runway Growth. “Our appointments add industry expertise and bolster our Board with key public company experience. Further, our revised credit agreement provides Runway Growth with additional financial flexibility as we seek to optimize our portfolio through an expanded suite of financing solutions for current and prospective borrowers. We believe these operational milestones will lead to strong performance and, in turn, generate attractive returns for our stockholders in the months and years to come.”

Credit Agreement
The amended credit agreement extends the maturity date and revolving period for the Company’s credit facility. Additionally, the revised agreement permits expanded financing solutions that Runway Growth can offer its borrowers. These include but are not limited to: cash flow based loans, asset based loans and recurring revenue loans. The facility is led by KeyBank and includes fourteen lenders in total.

Board Refreshment
On March 13, 2025, in connection with the expanded size of the Board, the Board appointed the following individuals to serve on the Board, effective March 21, 2025:

  • Ted Goldthorpe was appointed to the role of Chairman of the Board and will serve as an interested Class II director until the Company's 2027 annual meeting of stockholders.
  • Alexander Duka was appointed to serve as an independent Class I director until the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.
  • Robert Warshauer was appointed to serve as an independent Class III director until the Company's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.
  • Additionally, in the past year, both Catherine Frey and Jennifer Kwon Chou were appointed to the Board of Directors as independent directors, in connection with previously disclosed resignations. Ms. Frey’s appointment took effect on January 23, 2025, and Ms. Chou’s appointment will take effect on March 21, 2025. More information regarding the recent Board appointees is available on the Company’s website in the “Financials & Filings” section.
