(NEO: MLC) (“Mount Logan,” “our,” “we,” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, MLC US Holdings LLC (“MLC US Holdings”), as borrower, has entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to its existing credit agreement dated August 20, 2021 (the “Existing Credit Agreement” and together with the First Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) to increase the term loan available pursuant to the Credit Agreement by US$4,500,000 for a total facility size of up to US$28,562,500 (the “Credit Facility”).

The retail channel represents a major area of growth in the asset management industry and we are pleased to bring an institutional quality product to the U.S. market. Lastly, we are appreciative of our supportive financing partner for helping fund the growth of this new fund.”

The outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest in respect of the Credit Facility will become payable on August 20, 2027, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
