By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., Sept. 30 - KKR Financial Holdings LLC said on Monday that it added $300 million to the total facility size of the KKR Financial CLO 2011-1, Ltd. transaction.

The CLO on Friday entered into amendments to its existing secured financing transaction, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The CLO 2011-1 now can borrow up to an additional $225 million at the same rate of Libor plus 135 basis points. KKR Financial also purchased an additional $75 million of subordinated notes from the CLO.

The KKR Financial CLO 2011-1 will use the proceeds to purchase senior secured corporate loans.
