NEW YORK, June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Business Development Corporation of America ("BDCA"), a business development company ("BDC") primarily focused on senior debt investments in middle market private companies, announced today that it has filed a preliminary registration statement and amendments thereto (the "Registration Statement") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") relating to a possible extension of its continuous offering (the "Extension"). The potential Extension was approved by BDCA's Board of Directors ("Board") based on the recommendation of its adviser, BDCA Adviser, LLC ("BDCA Adviser") and the Board's determination that the Extension would be in the best interests of BDCA and holders of BDCA's common shares ("Shares") to (i)potentially increase the assets of BDCA available for investment and (ii)make additional Shares available for BDCA's dividend reinvestment plan.
Subject to the Registration Statement for the Extension becoming effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, BDCA will offer up to 101,100,000 Shares on a continuous basis. BDCA intends to request from the SEC that the Registration Statement be declared effective on July 1, 2014. If and when the Registration Statement becomes effective and the Extension commences, BDCA's registration for its initial public offering of $1.5 billion in Shares will terminate. The transition to the possible Extension will afford selling group participants and their financial advisors the possibility of offering prospective investors the ability to invest in BDCA and gain exposure to BDCA's growing investment portfolio. Shares offered in connection with the potential Extension may not be available for purchase in all states, and are subject to individual state clearance.
