Horizon Technology Finance Corporation Announces Intent to Supplement Regular Monthly Distributions for Combined Company Stockholders Following Merger With Monroe Capital CorporationMarch 10, 2026 9:15 AM
Business Wire
Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: HRZN) (“HRZN”), an affiliate of Monroe Capital LLC, today announced its Board of Directors’ intent to supplement HRZN’s regular monthly distributions to HRZN stockholders following the closing of the pending merger (the “Merger”) between HRZN and Monroe Capital Corporation (“MRCC”). As previously announced, following the Merger, HRZN will be the surviving public entity and will continue to be managed by Horizon Technology Finance Management LLC (“HTFM”) and trade on the NASDAQ under the symbol “HRZN”.
To create near-term value for the post-Merger combined company stockholders, the HRZN Board intends to use HRZN’s current undistributed taxable earnings (i.e., spillover income) of $27.6 million as of December 31, 2025 to supplement HRZN’s regular monthly distributions for two quarters following the closing of the Merger (the “HRZN Supplemental Distributions”), subject to the closing of the Merger and the HRZN Board’s declaration of the distributions.
HRZN anticipates that the HRZN Supplemental Distributions for the first quarter post-closing will be in the range of at least $0.02 to $0.04 per share per month. In its consideration of declaration of any HRZN Supplemental Distributions, the HRZN Board will consider, among other things, (1) HRZN’s ongoing compliance with asset coverage ratio requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (2) HRZN’s compliance with applicable financial and other operating covenants under HRZN’s financing agreements, and (3) HRZN’s general investment performance and available liquidity, as well as general market conditions at the time.
In addition, MRCC announced today its intent to increase the amount of its final special distribution payable to legacy MRCC stockholders of record as of a time prior to the closing of the Merger by $13.0 million ($0.61 per share) (the “Supplemental MRCC Distribution”), contingent upon MRCC stockholder approval of the Merger and related closing conditions. The Supplemental MRCC Distribution is expected to be paid to legacy MRCC stockholders in addition to MRCC’s planned pre-Merger closing distribution of its undistributed taxable earnings (the “Final MRCC Tax Distribution” and, together with the “Supplemental MRCC Distribution,” the “Pre-Merger MRCC Closing Distribution”), which totaled $2.9 million ($0.14 per share) as of December 31, 2025. The Pre-Merger MRCC Closing Distribution will be sourced from the net proceeds received by MRCC from its sale for cash of substantially all of its assets to Monroe Capital Income Plus Corporation (“MCIP”), the Monroe Capital platform's privately offered business development company, which will occur immediately prior to the Merger pending requisite stockholder approval and completion of other closing conditions.
Management Commentary
“We continue to be excited about the proposed merger between HRZN and MRCC,” said Michael P. Balkin, Chief Executive Officer of Horizon Technology Finance. “These value enhancements, which we believe demonstrate our commitment to completing this compelling transaction, were announced following discussions with each of the MRCC and HRZN Boards of Directors and their special committees."
Mr. Balkin continued, “We will work carefully and strategically to deploy the proceeds of the merger and our available leverage, investing thoughtfully and deliberately with the goal of creating meaningful long-term benefits for our shareholders, including the potential for higher earnings and greater portfolio diversification.”

- Debt Portfolio Yield of 14.3% -
- HRZN Ends Year with Committed Backlog of $154 Million -
Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: HRZN) (“Horizon” or the “Company”), an affiliate of Monroe Capital, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
Fourth Quarter 2025 and Recent Highlights
Net investment income (“NII”) of $8.3 million, or $0.18 per basic share, compared to $10.4 million, or $0.27 per basic share for the prior-year period
Total investment portfolio of $647.2 million as of December 31, 2025
Net asset value of $318.5 million, or $6.98 per share as of December 31, 2025
Annualized portfolio yield on debt investments of 14.3% for the quarter
Funded nine loans totaling $102.5 million
Experienced liquidity events from three portfolio companies
Cash of $142.7 million and credit facility capacity of $329.0 million as of December 31, 2025
Held portfolio of warrant and equity positions in 89 companies as of December 31, 2025
Undistributed spillover income of $0.65 per share as of December 31, 2025
Subsequent to quarter end, declared distributions of $0.06 per share payable in April, May and June 2026
Full Year 2025 Highlights
Net investment income of $44.4 million, or $1.05 per share for 2025, compared to $47.8 million, or $1.32 per share for the prior year
Achieved annual portfolio yield on debt investments of 15.8% for 2025
Horizon funded 28 loans totaling $277.5 million; experienced liquidity events from 23 portfolio companies
“We returned to portfolio growth in the fourth quarter via a number of high-quality new venture debt loans while we made progress toward our planned merger with Monroe Capital Corporation (‘MRCC’),” said Mike Balkin, Chief Executive Officer of Horizon. “NII was impacted in the quarter by lower prepayment activity, while NAV per share was modestly lower due to our distributions paid in the fourth quarter exceeding our NII. Our Board declared a monthly distribution of $0.06 per share for each of April, May and June, which we believe aligns our distribution level with our anticipated NII and operating results for 2026, taking into account the expected impact of the anticipated merger with MRCC.”
“In terms of our portfolio, we were pleased to increase our committed backlog during the quarter, which we believe sets a foundation to lead to steady portfolio growth in 2026,” added Mr. Balkin. “As we move ahead, we remain excited to complete the merger with MRCC, which will provide us significant capital to invest and, along with our active relationship with Monroe Capital, will better position us to win larger venture lending transactions. This will allow us to enhance our NII and NAV over time, which will ultimately create long-term value for our shareholders.”
Fourth Quarter 2025 Operating Results
Total investment income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $20.7 million, compared to $23.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to lower interest income on debt investments from a smaller debt investment portfolio.
The Company’s dollar-weighted annualized yield on average debt investments for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 14.3% and 14.9%, respectively. The Company calculates the dollar-weighted annualized yield on average debt investments for any period measured as (1) total investment income (excluding dividend income) during the period divided by (2) the average of the fair value of debt investments outstanding on (a) the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the first day of the period and (b) the last day of each calendar month during the period. The dollar-weighted annualized yield on average debt investments is higher than what investors will realize because it does not reflect expenses or any sales load paid by investors.
Total expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 were $12.5 million, compared to $12.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in interest expense and a $0.2 million decrease in base management fee due to a lower average weighted size of the portfolio in the quarter.
Net investment income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $8.3 million, or $0.18 per basic share, compared to $10.4 million, or $0.27 per basic share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, net realized loss on investments was $23.3 million, or $0.52 per basic share, compared to a net realized loss on investments of $3.2 million, or $0.08 per basic share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, net realized loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.8 million, or $0.02 per basic share.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, net unrealized appreciation on investments was $24.7 million, or $0.55 per basic share, compared to net unrealized depreciation on investments of $19.6 million, or $0.51 per basic share, for the prior-year period.
Full Year 2025 Operating Results
Total investment income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $96.0 million, compared to $99.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Horizon’s dollar-weighted annualized yield on average debt investments for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 15.8% and 15.6%, respectively.
For the full year ended December 31, 2025, net investment income was $44.4 million, or $1.05 per basic share, compared to net investment income of $47.8 million, or $1.32 per basic share, in the prior year.
For the full year ended December 31, 2025, net realized loss on investments was $55.1 million, or $1.30 per basic share, compared to net realized loss on investments of $34.6 million, or $0.96 per basic share, for the full year ended December 31, 2024. For the full year ended December 31, 2025, net realized loss on extinguishment of debt was $2.8 million, or $0.07 per basic share.
For the full year ended December 31, 2025, net unrealized appreciation on investments was $10.9 million, or $0.26 per basic share, compared to net unrealized depreciation on investments of $18.8 million, or $0.52 per basic share, for the full year ended December 31, 2024.
Portfolio Summary and Investment Activity
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s debt portfolio consisted of 38 secured loans with an aggregate fair value of $596.0 million. In addition, the Company’s total warrant, equity and other investments in 97 portfolio companies had an aggregate fair value of $51.2 million.

Spillover income includes any ordinary income and net capital gains from the preceding tax years that were not distributed during such tax years.
Horizon’s Board sets the level of distributions for each quarter based on its results of operations, spillover income and longer-term outlook, including expected operating results for the current fiscal year, taking into account the expected impact of the Company’s anticipated merger with Monroe Capital Corporation. When declaring distributions, Horizon’s board of directors reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which may differ from consolidated net income under generally accepted accounting principles due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of spillover income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of taxable income for each tax year, as well as the tax attributes for distributions in such tax year, will be made after the close of the tax year.

Horizon’s board of directors (“Board”) sets the level of distributions for each quarter based on its results of operations, spillover income and longer-term outlook, including expected operating results for the current fiscal year, taking into account the expected impact of the Company’s anticipated merger with Monroe Capital Corporation.
When declaring distributions, Horizon’s Board reviews estimates of taxable income available for distribution, which may differ from consolidated net income under generally accepted accounting principles due to (i) changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation, (ii) temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition, and (iii) the amount of spillover income carried over from a given year for distribution in the following year. The final determination of taxable income for each tax year, as well as the tax attributes for distributions in such tax year, will be made after the close of the tax year.
Horizon maintains a “Dividend Reinvestment Plan” (“DRIP”) that provides for the reinvestment of distributions on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder has elected to receive distributions in cash. As a result, if Horizon declares a distribution, its stockholders who have not “opted out” of the DRIP by the distribution record date will have their distribution automatically reinvested into additional shares of Horizon’s common stock. Horizon has the option to satisfy the share requirements of the DRIP through the issuance of new shares of common stock or through open market purchases of common stock by the DRIP plan administrator. Newly-issued shares will be valued based upon the final closing price of Horizon’s common stock on a specified valuation date for each distribution as determined by Horizon’s Board. Shares purchased in the open market to satisfy the DRIP requirements will be valued based upon the average price of the applicable shares purchased by the DRIP plan administrator, before any associated brokerage or other costs, which are borne by Horizon.
