"We believe the acquisition of SWK will immediately scale our portfolio by an estimated $242 million, accelerating growth and diversification, expanding our position and investment capabilities in the healthcare and life sciences sector and enhance both our earnings power and overall financial profile."
"Our third quarter investment activity is only beginning to show the benefits of our integration within the BC Partners Credit ecosystem, which allows us to source from a broader set of origination channels."
Runway Growth Finance announced a definitive merger agreement to acquire SWK Holdings, marking a strategic pivot from organic growth to inorganic expansion. The acquisition would immediately scale the portfolio by approximately $242 million and increase healthcare and life sciences exposure from 14% to 31% of the portfolio. The deal is expected to close in early 2026 and deliver mid-single-digit run rate NII accretion in the first full quarter post-close. Despite Q3 2025 showing portfolio shrinkage from $1.02 billion to $946 million due to higher repayments than new funded loans, management attributes this to integration benefits from BC Partners that will refill the pipeline through broader origination channels.
