Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. (the “Company”) is closely monitoring the recent developments involving Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) and Signature Bank (“Signature”). The Company does not hold cash deposits or securities at SVB or Signature, does not maintain any financing arrangements with SVB or Signature and does not otherwise have any direct business relationship with SVB or Signature.

The Company has reviewed the extent of exposure of the Company’s portfolio companies to SVB and Signature. Based on that review, a limited number of portfolio companies have a relationship with SVB and Signature in the form of a cash depository and/or treasury management account. Based on the March 12, 2023 joint statement by the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and FDIC that all SVB and Signature depositors will be protected and/or made whole, we do not expect that such relationships will have an adverse impact in any material respect on these portfolio companies. None of the Company’s portfolio companies have a lending relationship with SVB or Signature.

The information in this report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section. The information in this report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or under the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
