“We continued to opportunistically and selectively add high-quality investments to our portfolio, as the Horizon Platform originated $89 million of loans in the quarter, including $88 million of loans funded by HRZN,” said Gerald A. Michaud, President of HRZN and HTFM. “Additionally, we increased the committed backlog of the Horizon Platform’s debt investments to $222 million at quarter end, including $202 million in HRZN commitments. During the quarter, HRZN also received $38 million in loan payoffs and partial paydowns, continuing to provide us with a steady stream of accelerated income. With an ample pipeline and sizable backlog of commitments, we remain well positioned to further grow the HRZN’s venture debt portfolio and deliver additional value to HRZN’s shareholders.”

Liquidity Events and Partial Paydowns
HRZN experienced liquidity events from five portfolio companies in the third quarter of 2023, including principal prepayments and partial paydowns of $37.9 million and $0.02 million of warrant proceeds, compared to $28.3 million of principal prepayments and partial paydowns and $1.5 million of warrant and earnout payments during the second quarter of 2023:
|
●
|
In July, HRZN received a partial paydown of $5.0 million on its venture loans to Evelo Biosciences, Inc. (“Evelo”), and HRZN and Evelo converted an additional $5.0 million of the principal amount of the outstanding venture loans into shares of common stock of Evelo. HRZN also holds warrants in Evelo.
|

●
|
In July, HRZN received $0.02 million in proceeds in connection with the redemption of warrants in Corvium, Inc.

|
●
|
In August, with the proceeds of a new loan from the Horizon Platform, Sonex Health, Inc. (“Sonex”) prepaid its previously outstanding principal balance of $12.5 million on its venture loan facility, plus interest and end-of-term payment. HRZN continues to hold warrants in Sonex.
|
|
●
|
In September, Avalo Therapeutics, Inc. (“Avalo”) paid its outstanding principal balance of $10.4 million on its venture loan, plus interest and end-of-term payment. HRZN continues to hold warrants in Avalo.
|
|
●
|
In September, with the proceeds of a new loan from HRZN, BriteCore Holdings, Inc. (“BriteCore”) prepaid its previously outstanding principal balance of $10.0 million on its venture loan facility, plus interest and end-of-term payment. HRZN continues to hold warrants in BriteCore.
|
In addition, in July, HRZN converted $0.5 million of the principal amount of its outstanding debt investments in Better Place into preferred stock of Better Place and converted $2.7 million of the principal amount of its outstanding debt investments in Better Place into common stock of Better Place.
Principal Payments Received
During the third quarter of 2023, HRZN received regularly scheduled principal payments on investments totaling $9.1 million, compared to regularly scheduled principal payments totaling $6.1 million during the second quarter of 2023.
Commitments
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, HRZN closed new loan commitments totaling $157.7 million to seven companies, compared to new loan commitments of $73.6 million to six companies in the second quarter of 2023.
Pipeline and Term Sheets
As of September 30, 2023, HRZN’s unfunded loan approvals and commitments (“Committed Backlog”) were $201.8 million to 19 companies. This compares to a Committed Backlog of $159.4 million to 19 companies at HRZN as of June 30, 2023. HRZN’s portfolio companies have discretion whether to draw down such commitments and the right of a portfolio company to draw down its commitment is often subject to achievement of specific milestones and other conditions to borrowing. Accordingly, there is no assurance that any or all of these transactions will be funded by HRZN. Across the Horizon Platform, the quarter ended with an additional $20.5 million of unfunded loan approvals and commitments.
Warrant and Equity Portfolio
As of September 30, 2023, HRZN held a portfolio of warrant and equity positions in 100 portfolio companies, including 86 private companies, which provides the potential for future additional returns to HRZN’s shareholders.
