CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements about the PGIM Private Credit Fund’s (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) business, including, in particular, statements about the Company’s plans, strategies and objectives. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue” or other similar words. These statements include the Company’s plans and objectives for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth and availability of funds, and are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to these statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to accurately predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Although the Company believes the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements, and the forward-looking statements themselves, are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements may be materially different from that expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the Company’s objectives and plans, which the Company considers to be reasonable, will be achieved. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation:

our future operating results;
our business prospects and the prospects of the companies in which we may invest;
the impact of the investments that we expect to make;
our ability to raise sufficient capital and repurchase the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) to execute our investment strategy;
general economic, logistical and political trends and other external factors, including inflation and supply chain and labor market disruptions;
the ability of our portfolio companies to achieve their objectives;
our current and expected financing arrangements and investments;
changes in the general interest rate environment;
the adequacy of our cash resources, future financing sources and working capital;
the timing and amount of cash flows, distributions and dividends, if any, from our portfolio companies;
our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
risks associated with the demand for liquidity under our share repurchase program and the Board of Trustees’ (the “Board” and the members thereof, the “Trustees”) continued approval of quarterly tender offers;
actual and potential conflicts of interest with PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments,” the “Manager” or the “Valuation Designee”) or any of its affiliates;
the elevating levels of inflation, and its impact on our portfolio companies and on the industries in which we invest;
the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its effect on the industries in which we may invest;
the ability of the Manager to source suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;
the impact of future acquisitions and divestitures;
the ability of the Manager or its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals;

Table of Contents

general price and volume fluctuations in the stock market;
our ability to maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and as a business development company (“BDC”);
the impact on our business of U.S. and international financial reform legislation, rules and regulations;
the effect of changes to tax legislation and our tax position; and
the tax status of the enterprises in which we may invest.

You should carefully review the “Risk Factors” section in Item 1A in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that the Company believes are material to its business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, the Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

For each loan, the Company has indicated the reference rate used (including any adjustments per the loan agreements), and provided the spread and interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2024.

(4) Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt held by the Company are domiciled in the United States.

PGIM Private Credit Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Note 1. Organization

PGIM Private Credit Fund (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on March 21, 2022. The Company currently invests and intends to continue investing primarily in privately placed floating rate leveraged (below investment grade) debt, including, but not limited to, senior secured, first lien, debt issuances in middle market companies primarily in the United States as well as up to 30% of its total assets in investments in other countries (primarily Canada, Europe, Australia and Latin America). The Company currently is majority-owned by Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”), an affiliate of the Company and PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments,” or the “Manager” or the “Valuation Designee”). The Company elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) effective May 5, 2023. The Company also intends to elect to be treated, and qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) upon filing of the tax return on its statutory due date, commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company’s investment objective is to seek to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Company intends to invest at least 80% of its total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in private credit investments. The Company considers private credit investments to include loans, bonds and other credit instruments that are issued in private offerings or issued by private companies. Under normal circumstances, it is expected that the Company will primarily be invested in privately originated and privately negotiated direct lending investments to U.S. middle market companies through (i) first lien senior secured loans (including club deals by a small group of investment firms), and (ii) with not more than 20% of total invested capital in senior secured second and third lien loans, and unsecured loans.

The Company commenced its operations on December 13, 2022.

Note 2. Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 6 of Regulation S-X.

The Company follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported on the financial statements and accompanying notes. These financial statements reflect normal and recurring adjustments that in the opinion of the Company are necessary for the fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions included on the financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash represents cash deposits held at financial institutions, which at times may exceed U.S. federally insured limits. The Company’s deposits are held at financial institutions with high credit-quality to minimize credit risk exposure. Cash equivalents consist of other highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company may invest in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.

Investments

The Company values its investments in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices derived from such prices over entity-specific inputs. The Company is required to report its investments for which current market values are not readily available at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a readily available market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material. See “Note 5. Fair Value Measurements.”

The Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to the Valuation Designee. Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Valuation Designee has established a valuation committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. The valuation procedures permit the Company to utilize independent valuation advisor services.

The Valuation Designee will use reliable market quotations to value the Company’s investments when such market quotations are readily available. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market price is not readily available or whose market quotations are not deemed to represent fair value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Valuation Designee. Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value in certain circumstances where the Valuation Designee reasonably believes that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser or the market for a particular security causes current market quotes not to reflect the fair value of the security.

If and when market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, the Company typically utilizes independent third party valuation firms to assist in determining fair value. Accordingly, such investments go through a multi-step valuation process as described below. The Valuation Designee engages one or more independent valuation firms based on a review of each firm’s expertise and relevant experience in valuing certain securities. In each case, independent valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such Level 3 categorized assets.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, the Valuation Designee, subject to oversight by the Company’s Board, has approved a multi-step valuation process each month, as described below:

Valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued at cost. For Level 3 investments, the cost (purchase price adjusted for accreted original issue discount/amortized premium) or any recent comparable trade activity on the security investment shall be considered to reasonably approximate the fair value of the investment, provided that no material change has since occurred in the issuer’s business, significant inputs or the relevant environment.

The Valuation Designee discusses valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in the portfolio based in part on information from an independent valuation firm that is provided on a monthly basis in conjunction with the determination of the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share each month.

Valuation conclusions are discussed with and documented by the Valuation Designee, including whether a significant observable change has occurred since the most recent month-end with respect to an investment that requires an adjustment from the most recent monthly valuation.

The Board reviews valuations approved by the Valuation Designee at least quarterly.

As part of the Company’s valuation process, the Valuation Designee will take into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments without market quotations, many of which are loans, including and in combination, as relevant: (i) the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company, (ii) the nature and realizable value of any collateral, (iii) the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and cash flow, (iv) the markets in which the portfolio company does business, (v) a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, and (vi) overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. The determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a readily available market for these non-traded securities existed. Due to this uncertainty, fair value determinations may cause NAV on a given date to materially differ from the value that may ultimately realize upon the sale of one or more of the investments.

Table of Contents

The Board reviews the valuations of portfolio investments quarterly and, no less frequently than annually, the adequacy of policies and procedures regarding valuations and the effectiveness of their implementation.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rate as of the valuation date; (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Company are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Company does not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Company does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, holding period unrealized and realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations. Notwithstanding the above, the Company does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations; such amounts are included in net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions.

Additionally, net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Company’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Based on market conditions, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts (“forward contracts”) as a hedge against fluctuations in future foreign currency exchange rates. The Company may engage in foreign currency exchange transactions in connection with its investments in foreign instruments. The Company is not required to hedge its currency exposure, if any, and may choose not to do so. The Company generally will conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions either on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or through forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies, including the payment of dividends and the settlement of transactions that otherwise might require untimely dispositions of Company investments.

The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward contracts. Gain (loss) is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and negotiated forward contracts. This gain (loss), if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on forward contract transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Company’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life.

Master Netting Arrangements

The Company is subject to various master agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM” or the “Subadviser”) an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”), may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of the Company. A master netting arrangement between the Company and the counterparty permits the Company to offset amounts payable by the Company to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Company to cover the Company’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right to set-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right to set-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends to set-off and the right of set-off is enforceable by law.

Table of Contents

The Company is a party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) with certain counterparties that govern over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The ISDA Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the ISDA Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Company is held in a segregated account by the Company’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or re-pledged, is presented in the Schedule of Investments. Collateral pledged by the Company is segregated by the Company’s custodian and identified in the Schedule of Investments, if any. Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the Company and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Company’s net position with each counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Company may occur upon a decline in the Company’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the Company’s counterparties to elect early termination could impact the Company’s future derivative activity.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records its investment transactions on a trade date basis, which is the date when the Company assumes the risks for gains and losses related to that investment. Realized gains and losses are based on the specific identification method.

Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original cost, including original issue discount and upfront structuring fees (i.e., origination fees) received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income in the current period. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $3,463 and $565 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in interest income.

Dividend Income

Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $120 and $40 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in dividend income.

Fee Income

The Company may receive various fees in the ordinary course of business such as for consents, waivers and amendments, as well as fees for managerial assistance rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $59 and $0 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, in fee income.

Non-Accrual Income

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in the Subadviser’s judgment, are likely to remain current. The Subadviser may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

Organizational and Offering Costs

The Manager has agreed to pay the Company’s organizational and offering expenses relating to the initial sale of common shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Shares”) in the offering. The Company is not obligated to repay any such organizational and offering expenses paid by the Manager.

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs

Certain costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt of the Company were capitalized and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the respective instruments.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act effective May 5, 2023. The Company also intends to elect to be treated, and qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code upon filing of the tax return on its statutory due date, commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2023. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its shareholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company would represent obligations of the Company’s investors and would not be reflected in the financial statements of the Company.

To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of the sum of (i) its “investment company taxable income” for that year (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long- term capital losses and (ii) its net tax-exempt income (if any).

In addition, based on the federal excise tax distribution requirements applicable to RICs, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for each calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income or gain realized, but not distributed, in prior years. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company and on which the Company paid corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. The Company, at its discretion, may determine to carry forward taxable income or gain and pay the 4% excise tax on the amount by which it falls short of this calendar-year distribution requirement. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally will increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to shareholders. The Company will accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income and gain as required on an annual basis.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2024.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses

Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the net asset value of that class in relation to the net asset value of the Company. Expenses that are specific to a class of shares are allocated to such class directly.

Distributions

To the extent that the Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make monthly distributions to its shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on Company earnings, financial condition, maintenance of tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time.

18

Table of Contents

Capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain all or some of those capital gains for investment and pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on those retained amounts. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally will increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to shareholders.

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which all cash dividends declared by the Board on behalf of shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash will be reinvested into additional Common Shares of the Company. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and the Company declares, cash dividend or other distribution, then shareholders who have not opted out of the distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares.

Note 3. Fees, Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions

PGIM Investments LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential and a registered investment adviser, is the Company’s investment manager. The Manager has engaged the Subadviser, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, as the Company’s subadviser. PGIM will provide day-to-day management of the Company’s portfolio primarily through its dedicated private credit asset management business unit, PGIM Private Capital (“PPC”) although the Manager is permitted to allocate portions of the Company’s portfolio to any of the business units within PGIM.

The Company and the Manager have entered into an amended and restated management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) pursuant to which the Manager is entitled to receive a base management fee and an incentive fee.

Management Fees

The Management Fee is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the value of the Company’s net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month. Prior to the Company’s election of BDC status, the management fee was contractually set to zero. Accordingly, no fee was accrued during that time. Following the Company's election of BDC status, net assets for the first applicable calendar month were measured from the date that the Company first publicly sold shares to a person or entity other than the Manager or its affiliates. Effective February 23, 2024, the Manager contractually agreed to waive its management fee in its entirety through December 31, 2024 (the “Waiver Period”). The Manager previously contractually agreed to waive its management fee in its entirety for one year from May 5, 2023, the effective date of the Company’s registration statement. Following the Waiver Period, the Manager will receive a management fee at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily value of the Company’s net assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company accrued management fees of $336 and $0 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, all of which was subject to waiver by the Manager. As of March 31, 2024, there were no management fees payable by the Company.

Incentive Fees

The incentive fee consists of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the incentive fee is based on a percentage of the Company’s income and a portion is based on a percentage of the Company’s realized capital gains.

Incentive Fee Based on Income

“Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns” represents either the dollar value of, or percentage rate of return on the value of net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter from, interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees received from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the management fee and any interest expense or fees on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred Shares, but excluding the incentive fee and any shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The impact of expense support payments and recoupments are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. Shareholders may be charged a fee on an income amount that is higher than the income they may ultimately receive.

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediate preceding quarter, is compared to a “hurdle rate” of return of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized).

19

Table of Contents

The Company will pay the Manager an incentive fee quarterly in arrears with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in each calendar quarter as follows:

No incentive fee based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.25% (5.0% annualized);

100% of the dollar amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than a rate of return of 1.43% (5.72% annualized). This is referred to as Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.43%) as the “catch-up”. The “catch-up” is meant to provide the Manager with approximately 12.5% of our Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns as if a hurdle rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.43% in any calendar quarter; and

12.5% of the dollar amount of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceed a rate of return of 1.43% (5.72% annualized).

Incentive Fee Based on Capital Gains

The second component of the incentive fee, the capital gains incentive fee, is payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears. The amount payable equals:

12.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of such calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains.

The Manager has contractually agreed to waive its incentive fee in its entirety for the Waiver Period. The Manager previously contractually agreed to waive its incentive fee in its entirety for one year from May 5, 2023, the effective date of the Company’s registration statement. Prior to the Company’s election of BDC status, the incentive fee was contractually set to zero. Accordingly, no fee was incurred during that time.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company accrued income based incentive fees of $220 and $0 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, all of which were subject to waiver by the Manager. As of March 31, 2024, there were no incentive fees payable by the Company.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company accrued capital gains incentive fees of $34 and $0 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, all of which were subject to waiver by the Manager. As of March 31, 2024, there were no capital gains incentive fees payable by the Company.

Sub-Advisory Fee

Pursuant to the amended and restated subadvisory agreement between the Manager and the Subadviser (the “Subadvisory Agreement”), the Subadvisor will receive an annual subadvisory fee, payable monthly in arrears by the Manager at an annual rate of 1.00% of the value of the Company’s net assets within the direct lending portion of the portfolio managed by the Subadviser as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month. For the first calendar month, net assets will be measured as the date that the Company first publicly sells shares to a person or entity other than the Manager or its affiliates. In addition, the Manager will pay the Subadviser a fee in the amount of 75% of the incentive fee received by the Manager from the Company pursuant to the Management Agreement. No subadvisory fee or incentive fee will be paid by the Company directly to the Subadviser.

The Subadviser has contractually agreed to waive its portion of the management fees and incentive fees in their entirety for the Waiver Period. The Subadviser previously contractually agreed to waive its portion of the management fees and incentive fees in their entirety for one year from May 5, 2023, the effective date of the Company’s registration statement. Prior to the Company’s election of BDC status, the subadvisory fee was contractually set to zero. Accordingly, no subadvisory fee was payable by the Manager to the Subadviser for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

20

Table of Contents

Under the Subadvisory Agreement, the Subadviser, subject to the supervision of the Manager, is responsible for managing the assets of the Company in accordance with the Company’s investment objective, investment program, and policies. The Subadviser determines what private credit and other instruments are purchased and sold for the Company and is responsible for obtaining and evaluating financial data relevant to the Company. The Manager continues to have responsibility for all investment advisory services pursuant to the Management Agreement and supervises the Subadviser’s performance of such services.

Intermediary Manager Agreement

The Company entered into an intermediary manager agreement with Prudential Investment Management Services, LLC (“PIMS” or the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Manager, who will be principal underwriter and distributor of the Company’s Common Shares. The Distributor will be entitled to receive shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees with respect to the Class S and Class D Shares on an annualized basis as a percentage of the NAV for such class, subject to the inception of each class. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees will be paid monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 0.85% and 0.25% for Class S and D respectively, calculated using the NAV of the applicable class as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month. No distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees will be paid with respect to Class I. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company accrued servicing and/or distribution fees of less than $500 which were attributable to Class S and Class D Shares, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not accrue servicing and/or distribution fees.

Plan Administrator

Prudential Mutual Company Services LLC (“PMFS” or the “Plan Administrator”) serves as the transfer and dividend disbursing agent of the Company. PMFS provides customary transfer agency services to the Company, including the handling of shareholder communications, the processing of shareholder transactions, the maintenance of shareholder account records, the payment of dividends and distributions, and related functions. PMFS is an affiliate of the Manager.

SS&C GIDS, Inc., a corporation organized in the state of Delaware serves as the sub-transfer agent of the Company.

For the three months ended, the Company accrued transfer agent’s fees and expenses of $8, $10 and $10 (dollar amounts in thousands) for Class I, Class S and Class D Shares, respectively. For the three months ended, the Company did not accrue transfer agent’s fees and expenses. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were $9 and $16 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively, of transfer agent’s fees payable by the Company.

Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement

Pursuant to an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement by and among the Company and the Manager, for three years from May 5, 2023, the effective date of the Company’s registration statement (the “ELRA Period”), the Manager has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Company so that the Company’s Specified Expenses (as defined below) will not exceed 0.50% of net assets (annualized). The Company has agreed to repay these amounts, when and if requested by the Manager, but only if and to the extent that Specified Expenses are less than 0.50% of net assets (annualized) (or, if a lower expense limit is then in effect, such lower limit) within three years after the date the Manager waived or reimbursed such fees or expenses. This arrangement cannot be terminated without the consent of the Company’s Board prior to the end of the ELRA Period. “Specified Expenses” includes all expenses incurred in the business of the Company, including organizational and offering costs (excluding the organizational and offering expenses relating to the initial sale of Class S, Class D and Class I Common Shares), with the following exceptions: (i) the management fee, (ii) the incentive fee, (iii) the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee, (iv) brokerage costs or other investment-related out-of-pocket expenses, (v) dividend/interest payments (including any dividend payments, interest expenses, commitment fees, or other expenses related to any leverage incurred by the Company), (vi) taxes, and (vii) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the sole discretion of the Manager). Prior to the Company’s election of BDC status, the Manager agreed to voluntarily enact the above-described expense limitation. Accordingly, such expense reimbursement is reflected on the Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Certain other expenses may be paid by the Manager, subject to the Manager’s sole discretion. The Company will not be required to repay such amounts to the Manager.

Co-Investment Relief

The Company has received exemptive relief that allows the Company to co-invest in certain transactions with certain affiliates of the Manager. The relief permits us, among other things, to co-invest with certain other persons, including certain affiliates of the Manager and certain funds managed and controlled by the Manager and its affiliates, subject to certain terms and conditions. Pursuant to such order, the Company’s Board has established criteria (“Board Criteria”) clearly defining co-investment opportunities in which the Company will have the opportunity to participate with one or more other public or private PPC funds and managed accounts that target similar assets. If an investment falls within the Board Criteria, PPC must offer an opportunity for the Company to participate. The Company may participate or may not participate, depending on whether PPC determines that the investment is appropriate for the Company (e.g., based on investment strategy). If PPC determines that such investment is not appropriate for us, the investment will not be allocated to us, but PPC will be required to report such investment and the rationale for its determination for us to not participate in the investment to the Board at the next quarterly Board meeting.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

The Company holds securities and other assets and liabilities that are fair valued on a monthly basis. The Company’s investments are valued monthly based on a number of factors, such as the type of investment.

Various inputs determine how the Company’s investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed below and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Altering one or more unobservable inputs may result in a significant change to a Level 3 security’s fair value measurement.

Such inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices generally in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates and yield curves, prepayment speeds, foreign currency exchange rates and other observable inputs.
Level 3—unobservable inputs for securities valued in accordance with Board approved fair valuation procedures.

The level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

24

Table of Contents

The Company’s private credit investments’ fair valuations are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Such fair values are typically determined by utilizing the income approach and discounted cash flow methodology. When an enterprise value analysis or asset collateral analysis indicates there is sufficient coverage through the subject debt security, an income approach with a yield analysis is generally considered the most appropriate method to estimate fair value. In performing a yield analysis, the annual cash flows that a subject security is expected to generate over its remaining estimated holding period are first estimated. Projected cash flows are then converted to their present value equivalent utilizing a rate of return commensurate with the risk of achieving the cash flows, which results at an estimate of fair value. The discount rate can be derived considering the rate of return implied by the original transaction, adjusted for changes in both market spreads and credit-specific factors. Consistent with industry practices, the income approach incorporates subjective judgments regarding the capitalization or discount rate and projections of future cash flows.

Newly acquired private credit investments may initially be valued at cost. Each private credit investment will then be valued monthly by an independent valuation advisor utilizing the methodology described above.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 in valuing such financial instruments (dollar amounts in thousands):

Note 6. Borrowings

On October 30, 2023, the Company, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets in the Company’s portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents. The stated interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility is determined pursuant to a formula-based calculation based on the gross borrowing base at the time, resulting in a stated interest rate, depending on the type of borrowing, of either (a) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment and an applicable margin equal to 2.125% per annum or 2.25% per annum, or (b) Alternate Base Rate plus a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment and an applicable margin equal to 1.125% per annum or 1.25% per annum in respect of USD borrowings and comparable rates in respect of non-USD borrowings.

The initial principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is $150 million. The Revolving Credit Facility has an accordion feature, subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, which could bring total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to up to $350 million. All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility must be repaid by the date that is five years after the closing date of the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an aggregate amount of $6.7 million and $0 of debt outstanding and the asset coverage ratio was 1,735.5% and 0%, respectively.

The Company is permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of Shares senior to the Common Shares if asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, would at least equal 150% immediately after each such issuance. On November 8, 2022, the Company’s sole shareholder approved the adoption of this 150% threshold pursuant to Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act and such election became effective the following day. In addition, while any senior securities remain outstanding, the Company will be required to make provisions to prohibit any dividend distribution to shareholders or the repurchase of such securities or Shares unless the Company meets the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the dividend distribution or repurchase. The Company also may be permitted to borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of the total assets for temporary or emergency purposes, which borrowings would not be considered senior securities.

The Company’s debt obligations consisted of the following as of Mach 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s investment portfolio contains debt investments which are in the form of lines of credit or delayed draw commitments, which requires the Company to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with underlying loan agreements. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had unfunded delayed draw term loans and revolvers in the aggregate principal amount of $13,074 and $13,523 (dollar amounts in thousands), respectively.

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that provide a variety of general indemnifications. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements could involve future claims that may be made against the Company. Currently, no such claims exist or are expected to arise and, accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Note 8. Capital

The Company is offering on a continuous basis its Common Shares. The Company intends to offer any combination of three classes of Common Shares—Class I Shares, Class S Shares and Class D Shares—with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount. The share classes have different ongoing shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees. The purchase price per share for each class of Common Shares will equal the Company’s NAV per share, as of the effective date of the monthly share purchase date. This is a “best efforts” offering, which means that PIMS will use its best efforts to sell Shares, but is not obligated to purchase or sell any specific amount of Shares in this offering.

In November 2023, PGIM Strategic Investments, Inc. transferred beneficial ownership of Class I Common Shares to PICA. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has 4,421,958, 426 and 428 of Class I, Class S and Class D Shares issued and outstanding, respectively, all of which is 99.5% owned by PICA.

Net Asset Value per Share

The Company determines NAV for each class of Shares each month as of the last day of each calendar month. Share issuances related to monthly subscriptions are effective the first calendar day of each month. Shares are issued at an offering price equivalent to the most recent NAV per share available for each share class, which will be the prior calendar day NAV per share (i.e., the prior month-end NAV). The following table presents each month-end NAV per share for Class I, Class S and Class D Common Shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Distributions

To the extent that the Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make monthly distributions to its shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on Company earnings, financial condition, maintenance of tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time.

31

Table of Contents

Capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually, although the Company may decide to retain all or some of those capital gains for investment and pay U.S. federal income tax at corporate rates on those retained amounts. If the Company chooses to do so, this generally will increase expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to shareholders.

The Board authorizes and declares monthly distribution amounts per share of Class I, Class S and Class D Common Shares. The following tables summarize the Company’s distributions declared during the three months ended March 31, 2024 (dollar amounts in thousands except per share):

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not make any distributions as a disregarded entity.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which all cash dividends declared by the Board on behalf of shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash as provided below will be reinvested into additional Common Shares of the Company. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend or other distribution, then shareholders who have not opted out of the distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional Common Shares, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution. Distributions on fractional Shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places.

Character of Distributions

The Company may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds available to us, including borrowings, subscription proceeds from Shares in the Company, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of investments in portfolio companies and fee and expense reimbursement waivers from the Manager, if any.

Sources of distributions, other than net investment income and realized gains on a U.S. GAAP basis, include required adjustments to U.S. GAAP net investment income in the current period to determine taxable income available for distributions. The following tables present the sources of cash distributions on a U.S. GAAP basis that the Company has declared on Common Shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024 (dollar amounts in thousands except per share):

Share Repurchase Program

The Company provides liquidity through a quarterly repurchase program pursuant to which it will offer to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of its Common Shares outstanding (either by number of Shares or aggregate NAV) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. The Board may amend or suspend the share repurchase program at any time if in its reasonable judgment it deems such action to be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of the Company’s shareholders, such as when a repurchase offer would place an undue burden on the Company’s liquidity, adversely affect the Company’s operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company that would outweigh the benefit of the repurchase offer. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. The Company intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Section 23 (c) of the 1940 Act. All Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued Shares. Any repurchases of the Manager’s and affiliate shares will be on the same terms and subject to the same limitations as other shareholders.

33

Table of Contents

Under the Company’s share repurchase program, to the extent the Company offers to repurchase Shares in any particular quarter, the Company expects to repurchase Shares pursuant to quarterly tender offers (such date of the offer, the “Repurchase Date”) using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that Shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”). The one-year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective Repurchase Date. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Company for the benefit of remaining shareholders.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, no share repurchases were completed by the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with “Item 1. Financial Statements.” This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which relate to future events, the Company’s future performance or financial condition and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Part II, Item 1A of and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview and Investment Framework

The Company is a recently organized, externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company with limited operating history that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act effective May 5, 2023. Formed as a Delaware statutory trust on March 21, 2022, we are externally managed by the Manager. The Manager has delegated to the Subadviser responsibility for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring the Company’s portfolio on an ongoing basis. The Company commenced its operations on December 13, 2022. The Company also intends to elect to be treated, and qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code upon filing of the tax return on its statutory due date, commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company’s investment objective is to seek to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. The Company seeks to meet its investment objective by investing primarily in privately placed floating rate leveraged (below investment grade) debt, including, but not limited to, senior secured, first lien, debt issuances in middle market companies primarily in the United States, as well as up to 30% of its total assets in investments in other countries (primarily Canada, Europe, Australia and Latin America) by utilizing the experience and expertise that PPC has in managing a portfolio of direct lending investments, since 2000. Emphasis will be placed on companies with value-added businesses in narrowly defined and defensive market sectors, and with the exception of collateral-backed transactions, companies capable of healthy free cash flow generation. PPC also looks for strong management teams with demonstrated track records and significant personal economic stakes in their companies’ success.

Utilizing this strategy, the Company intends to structure its investments seeking meaningful contractual debt repayment and risk reduction features, typically first- priority senior secured ranking in the capital structure, and maintenance covenant(s) and terms protections. The Company will have a limited basket for second lien loans focused on transactions with true collateral coverage, expected to be no more than 20% of total invested capital in senior secured second and third lien loans, and unsecured loans. To manage its liquidity needs, from time to time the Company also intends to invest a portion of its assets in liquid assets, including cash and cash equivalents, liquid fixed-income securities and other credit instruments.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

Investments

Under normal circumstances, the Company intends to invest at least 80% of its total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in private credit investments. The Company considers private credit investment to include loans, bonds and other credit instruments that are issued in private offerings or issued by private companies. Under normal circumstances, it is expected that the Company will primarily be invested in privately originated and privately negotiated direct lending investments to U.S. middle market companies through (i) first lien senior secured loans (including club deals by a small group of investment firms), and (ii) with not more than 20% of total invested capital in senior secured second and third lien loans, and unsecured loans.

The Company primarily seeks investments in middle market companies predominantly located in the United States, as well as up to 30% of its total assets in investments in other countries (primarily Canada, Europe, Australia, and Latin America).

37

Table of Contents

Revenues

The Company generates revenue in the form of interest income on debt investments, capital gains, and dividend income from our equity investments in our portfolio companies. The senior debt investments bear interest at a floating rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable monthly, quarterly or semiannually. In some cases, some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid PIK interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition, the Company may generate revenue in the form of commitment and other fees in connection with transactions. Original issue discounts and market discounts or premiums are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. The Company will record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.

Expenses

Except as specifically provided below, all investment professionals and staff of the Manager and the Subadviser, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory services and subadvisory services to the Company and the base compensation, bonus and benefits, of such personnel allocable to such services, will be provided and paid for by the Manager or Subadviser, as applicable.

In connection with its management of the corporate affairs of the Company, the Manager bears the following expenses, among others: (i) the salaries and expenses of all employees of the Company and the Manager, except the fees and expenses of Trustees who are not “affiliated persons” of the Manager or any subadviser within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (ii) all expenses incurred by the Manager in connection with managing the ordinary course of the Company’s business, other than those assumed by the Company in the Management Agreement; (iii) rent or depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items of the Manager or its affiliates; and (iv) the fees, costs and expenses payable to a subadviser pursuant to a subadvisory agreement.

From time to time, the Manager or its affiliates may pay third-party providers of goods or services. The Company will reimburse the Manager or such affiliates thereof for any such amounts paid on the Company’s behalf. From time to time, the Manager may defer or waive fees and/or rights to be reimbursed for expenses. All of the foregoing expenses will ultimately be borne by the Company shareholders, subject to the expense cap noted below.

Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement

The Company has entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement with the Manager (the “Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement”). For additional information see “Item 1. Financial Statements—Notes to Financial Statements—Note 3. Management Agreement and Transactions with Affiliates.”

Portfolio and Investment Activity

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we acquired $13.5 million aggregate principal amount of investments (including $1.0 million of unfunded commitments), all of which was first lien debt.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we acquired $50.4 million aggregate principal amount of investments (including $2.5 million of unfunded commitments), all of which was first lien debt.

Investment Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, investment income was $3.6 million, all of which was attributable to interest and fees on our debt investments, dividend income and fee income. The increase in investment income from the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to an increase of $13.5 million aggregate principal amount of new investments acquired during the period.

40

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, investment income was $605 thousand, all of which was attributable to interest and fees on our debt investments and dividend income.

Expenses

Total expenses before expense reimbursement and incentive and management fee waivers for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $1.8 million, consisting primarily of professional fees, income based incentive fees, capital gains incentive fees, blue sky fees management fees, custodian and accounting fees, trustees’ fees, transfer agent’s fees and expenses, interest expense, pricing fees, shareholder’s reports, and other general and administrative fees. The increase in total expenses from the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily related to an increase in professional fees, interest expenses, management and incentive fees due to an increased cost of servicing a larger investment portfolio.

Total expenses before expense reimbursement for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $130 thousand, consisting primarily of custodian and accounting fees, trustees’ fees, professional fees, and other general and administrative fees.

The expense reimbursement amount represents the amount of expenses waived by the Manager in accordance with the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company accrued income based incentive fees of $220 thousand, all of which were subject to waiver by the Manager. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not accrue any incentive fees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company accrued capital gains incentive fees of $34 thousand and $0, respectively, all of which were subject to waiver by the Manager. As of March 31, 2024, there were no capital gains incentive fees payable by the Company.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company accrued management fees of $336 thousand, all of which were subject to waiver by the Manager. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not accrue any management fees.

Income Taxes, Including Excise Taxes

The Company intends to elect to be treated as a RIC under the Code upon filing of the tax return on its statutory due date, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2023. To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of the sum of (i) its “investment company taxable income” for that year (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long- term capital losses and (ii) its net tax-exempt income. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its shareholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company would represent obligations of the Company’s shareholders and would not be reflected in the financial statements of the Company.

In addition, based on the excise tax distribution requirements, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner in each taxable year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in prior years. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not incur any excise tax expense.

Net realized gain (loss) and Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reported realized gains from foreign currency transactions of $9 thousand and $12 thousand, respectively, primarily as a result of fluctuations in the foreign currency. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reported realized losses from forward foreign currency contracts of $(144) thousand and $0, respectively.

41

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reported unrealized depreciation from foreign currency of $(3) thousand and $(5) thousand, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reported unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from forward foreign currency contracts of $457 thousand and $(11) thousand, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reported unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from non-affiliated investments transactions of $(245) thousand and $79 thousand, respectively, which reflects the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio relative to its cost basis over the period.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources are generated primarily through the net proceeds of the offering of the Company’s Common Shares, any financing arrangements we may enter into in the future, and cash flows from operations, including investments sales and repayments and income earned from investments and cash equivalents. The primary uses of cash have been investments in portfolio companies and other general corporate purposes.

The primary uses of cash are expected to be for investments in portfolio companies and other investments, distributions to shareholders, for operational costs such as paying management and incentive fees, custodian and accounting fees and for the cost of any borrowings or financing arrangements.

The Company is permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of shares senior to Common Shares if asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, would at least equal 150% immediately after each such issuance. On November 8, 2022, the Company’s sole shareholder approved the adoption of this 150% threshold pursuant to Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act and such election became effective the following day. In addition, while any senior securities remain outstanding, the Company will be required to make provisions to prohibit any dividend distribution to shareholders or the repurchase of such securities or shares unless the Company meets the applicable asset coverage ratios at the time of the dividend distribution or repurchase. The Company also may be permitted to borrow amounts up to 5% of the value of the total assets for temporary or emergency purposes, which borrowings would not be considered senior securities. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an aggregate amount of $6.7 million and $0 of debt securities outstanding and the asset coverage ratio was 1735.5% and 0%, respectively.

Pursuant to the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement, for three years from May 5, 2023, the effective date of the Company’s registration statement (the “ELRA Period”), the Manager has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Company so that the Company’s Specified Expenses (as defined below) will not exceed 0.50% of net assets (annualized). The Company has agreed to repay these amounts, when and if requested by the Manager, but only if and to the extent that Specified Expenses are less than 0.50% of net assets (annualized) (or, if a lower expense limit is then in effect, such lower limit) within three years after the date the Manager waived or reimbursed such fees or expenses. This arrangement cannot be terminated without the consent of the Company’s Board prior to the end of the ELRA Period. “Specified Expenses” includes all expenses incurred in the business of the Company, including organizational and offering costs (excluding the organizational and offering expenses relating to the initial sale of Class I, Class S and Class D Common Shares), with the following exceptions: (i) the management fee, (ii) the incentive fee, (iii) the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee, (iv) brokerage costs or other investment-related out-of-pocket expenses, (v) dividend/ interest payments (including any dividend payments, interest expenses, commitment fees, or other expenses related to any leverage incurred by the Company), (vi) taxes, and (vii) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the sole discretion of the Manager). Prior to the Company’s election of BDC status, the Manager agreed to voluntarily enact the above-described expense limitation.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, including foreign currency. During that period, cash used in operating activities was $8.0 million, primarily as a result of purchasing portfolio investments of $14.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from repayment of investments of $2.9 million. Cash used by financing activities was $5.0 million, primarily as a result of dividends paid in cash and borrowings on the credit facility.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $26.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, including foreign currency. During that period, cash used in operating activities was $31.5 million, primarily as a result of purchasing portfolio investments of $32.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from repayment of investments of $237 thousand. Cash provided by financing activities was $54.4 million, primarily as a result of proceeds from issuance of Common Shares.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which we will reinvest all cash dividends declared by the Board on behalf of shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash as provided below. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend or other distribution, then shareholders who have not opted out of the distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares as described below, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution. Distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places. The following tables reflect the Shares issued pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

Share Repurchase Program

The Company provides liquidity through a quarterly repurchase program pursuant to which it will offer to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of its Common Shares outstanding (either by number of Shares or aggregate NAV) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. The Board may amend or suspend the share repurchase program at any time if in its reasonable judgment it deems such action to be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of the Company’s shareholders, such as when a repurchase offer would place an undue burden on the Company’s liquidity, adversely affect the Company’s operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company that would outweigh the benefit of the repurchase offer. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. The Company intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Section 23 (c) of the 1940 Act. All Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued Shares. Any repurchases of the Manager’s and affiliate shares will be on the same terms and subject to the same limitations as other shareholders.

Under the Company’s share repurchase program, to the extent the Company offers to repurchase Shares in any particular quarter, the Company expects to repurchase Shares pursuant to quarterly tender offers on or around the last business day of that quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be subject to the Early Repurchase Deduction. The one-year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective Repurchase Date. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Company for the benefit of remaining shareholders.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no Share repurchases were completed by the Company.

Borrowings

On October 30, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

44

Table of Contents

The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets in the Company’s portfolio, including cash and cash equivalents. The stated interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility is determined pursuant to a formula-based calculation based on the gross borrowing base at the time, resulting in a stated interest rate, depending on the type of borrowing, of either (a) Term SOFR plus a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment and an applicable margin equal to 2.125% per annum or 2.25% per annum, or (b) Alternate Base Rate plus a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment and an applicable margin equal to 1.125% per annum or 1.25% per annum in respect of USD borrowings and comparable rates in respect of non-USD borrowings.

The initial principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is $150 million. The Revolving Credit Facility has an accordion feature, subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, which could bring total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to up to $350 million. All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility must be repaid by the date that is five years after the Closing Date of the Revolving Credit Facility.

For additional information on our debt obligations see “Note 6. Borrowings” to the financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than contractual commitments and other legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of our business, we do not expect to have any off-balance sheet financings or liabilities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. The Company considers the most significant accounting policies to be those related to Valuation of Portfolio Investments, are described below. The critical accounting policies and estimates should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes in, Item 1, as well as with “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company values its investments in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices derived from such prices over entity-specific inputs. The Company is required to report its investments for which current market values are not readily available at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a readily available market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material. See “Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 5. Fair Value Measurements.”

The Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments,” the “Manager” or the “Valuation Designee”). Pursuant to the Board’s delegation, the Valuation Designee has established a valuation committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. The valuation procedures permit the Company to utilize independent valuation advisor services.

45

Table of Contents

The Valuation Designee will use reliable market quotations to value the Company’s investments when such market quotations are readily available. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market price is not readily available or whose market quotations are not deemed to represent fair value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Valuation Designee. Market quotations may be deemed not to represent fair value in certain circumstances where the Valuation Designee reasonably believes that facts and circumstances applicable to an issuer, a seller or purchaser or the market for a particular security causes current market quotes not to reflect the fair value of the security.

If and when market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, the Company typically utilizes independent third party valuation firms to assist in determining fair value. Accordingly, such investments go through a multi-step valuation process as described below. The Valuation Designee may engage one or more independent valuation firms based on a review of each firm’s expertise and relevant experience in valuing certain securities. In each case, independent valuation firms consider observable market inputs together with significant unobservable inputs in arriving at their valuation recommendations for such Level 3 categorized assets.

With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available or when such market quotations are deemed not to represent fair value, the Valuation Designee, subject to oversight by the Company’s Board, has approved a multi-step valuation process each month, as described below:

Valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued at cost. For Level 3 investments, the cost (purchase price adjusted for accreted original issue discount/amortized premium) or any recent comparable trade activity on the security investment shall be considered to reasonably approximate the fair value of the investment, provided that no material change has since occurred in the issuer’s business, significant inputs or the relevant environment.
The Valuation Designee discusses valuations and determines in good faith the fair value of each investment in the portfolio based in part on information from an independent valuation firm that is provided on a monthly basis in conjunction with the determination of the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share each month.
Valuation conclusions are discussed with and documented by the Valuation Designee, including whether a significant observable change has occurred since the most recent month-end with respect to an investment that requires an adjustment from the most recent monthly valuation.
The Board reviews valuations approved by the Valuation Designee at least quarterly.

As part of the Company’s valuation process, the Valuation Designee will take into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments without market quotations, many of which are loans, including and in combination, as relevant: (i) the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company, (ii) the nature and realizable value of any collateral, (iii) the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and cash flow, (iv) the markets in which the portfolio company does business, (v) a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, and (vi) overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. The determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a readily available market for these non-traded securities existed. Due to this uncertainty, fair value determinations may cause NAV on a given date to materially differ from the value that may ultimately realize upon the sale of one or more of the investments.

The Board reviews the valuations of portfolio investments quarterly and, no less frequently than annually, the adequacy of policies and procedures regarding valuations and the effectiveness of their implementation.

The Company’s accounting policy on the fair value of investments is critical because the determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining fair value measurements, the fair values of investments may differ from the amounts that we ultimately realize or collect from sales or maturities of investments, and the differences could be material.

Recent Developments

The Company’s management evaluated recent developments through the date of issuance of the financial statements. There have been no recent developments that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this report, except as discussed below.

46

Table of Contents

On April 22, 2024, the Company declared a distribution of $0.22500 per Class I Share, $0.20680 per Class S Share, and $0.22100 per Class D Share which is payable on May 29, 2024 to shareholders of record as of April 30, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company is subject to financial market risks, including valuation risk, interest rate risk and currency risk.

Valuation Risk

The Company plans to invest primarily in illiquid debt securities of private companies. Securities that are not publicly traded or for which market prices are not readily available will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the Manager, as valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, and under the oversight of the Board, based on, among other things, the input of the Manager, the Subadviser and independent third-party valuation firms engaged at the direction of the Valuation Designee to review the Company’s investments. The Board will review and determine, or (subject to the Board’s oversight) delegate to the Valuation Designee to determine, the fair value of each of the Company’s investments and NAV per share each month. There is no single standard for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. The company intends to fund portions of investments with borrowings, and at such time, net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which the Company invests and the rate at which the Company borrow. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure shareholders that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on net investment income.

If deemed prudent, the Company may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to minimize exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company may hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. The Company may also borrow funds in local currency as a way to hedge our non-U.S. denominated investments.

In the event of a rising interest rate environment, payments under floating rate debt instruments generally would rise and there may be a significant number of issuers of such floating rate debt instruments that would be unable or unwilling to pay such increased interest costs and may otherwise be unable to repay their loans. Investments in floating rate debt instruments may also decline in value in response to rising interest rates if the interest rates of such investments do not rise as much, or as quickly, as market interest rates in general. Similarly, during periods of rising interest rates, fixed-rate debt instruments may decline in value because the fixed rates of interest paid thereunder may be below market interest rates.

Based on Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2024, the following table shows the annualized impact on net income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in investment (dollar amounts in thousands):

Currency Risk

The Company expects to hedge most of the risk of foreign currency fluctuations on the non-U.S. cash receipts that would flow from non-U.S. investments, including by funding such investments with borrowings denominated in the relevant foreign currency or through other hedging techniques (including the use of foreign currency forward contracts or swaps), subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. A foreign currency forward contract is an obligation to buy or sell a given currency on a future date and at a set price or to make or receive a cash payment based on the value of a given currency at a future date. Delivery of the underlying currency is expected, the terms are individually negotiated, the counterparty is not a clearing corporation or an exchange, and payment on the contract is made upon delivery, rather than daily. There is uncertainty regarding the timing and amounts of those future cash flows, and the Company’s strategies for hedging transactions are subject to inherent imperfections. As such, the full risk of currency fluctuations will not be eliminated and the Company may be exposed to additional risk of loss. There can be no guarantee that instruments suitable for hedging in market shifts will be available at the time when the Company wishes to use them. Certain of the Company’s hedging transactions may be undertaken through brokers, banks or other organizations, and the Company will be subject to risk of default or insolvency of such counterparties. In such event, there can be no assurance that any money advanced to or obligations from these counterparties would be repaid or that the Company would have any recourse in the event of default. Further, hedging transactions may reduce cash available to pay distributions to shareholders.
