Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 1, 2025, Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C. (“HLA”), the operating subsidiary of Hamilton Lane Incorporated, entered into a Second Amendment to the Multi-Draw Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), amending the Multi-Draw Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 20, 2022, between JPM and HLA (as previously amended, the “2022 Term Loan Agreement”).
The 2022 Term Loan Agreement provides for term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $75 million, subject to an aggregate cap of loans that may be outstanding under all of HLA’s loan agreements with JPM of $325 million (the “Cap”). Borrowings under the 2022 Term Loan Agreement accrue interest at a rate equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate (as defined therein) minus 1.50% and (b) 3.00%. The Second Amendment to the 2022 Term Loan Agreement, among other things, (a) changes the aggregate principal amount of terms loans from $75 million to $50 million, subject to the Cap, (b) changes certain dates related to interest payments and repayments of the term loans thereunder, and (c) changes the interest rate for borrowings thereunder to equal the greater of (a) the Prime Rate minus 1.35% and (b) 3.00%.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the new agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
