Horizon Technology Finance Director Acquires Shares Amid Merger Integration and Strategic Expansion

Kimberley Ann O’Connor, a director at Horizon Technology Finance Corp (NASDAQ: HRZN), purchased 10,000 shares of the company’s common stock on June 9, 2026, according to a recent Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing. The acquisition, valued at $43,699, was executed at a price of $4.3699 per share. Following the transaction, Ms. O’Connor holds a direct position of 10,000 shares in Horizon Technology Finance. The purchase occurs as the stock trades near its 52-week low of $3.80, currently at $4.44, reflecting a 27% decline over the past six months. Despite recent market weakness, the company maintains a substantial 16% dividend yield. Horizon Technology Finance recently completed its merger with Monroe Capital Corporation, with Horizon emerging as the surviving entity. The combined organization now controls approximately $471.7 million in net assets, including $141.1 million in cash from the merger. Horizon intends to utilize these funds for debt repayment and new investments. Additionally, the company established a $100 million venture lending joint venture with CR Financial Holdings to support growth capital financing for small- and micro-cap public companies in the U.S. This venture will leverage warehouse credit facilities to deploy its initial capital. Horizon also announced a $40 million loan facility to Hyperfine, Inc., with an initial funding of $15 million and up to $25 million available for future growth. In corporate governance updates, Horizon appointed Grant Thornton LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm, replacing RSM US LLP. The change follows a recommendation from Horizon’s audit committee, although RSM’s previous audit reports did not contain any adverse opinions. Shareholders from both Horizon and Monroe Capital approved the merger with significant support.
