Silver Point Specialty Lending Fund (the “Fund”) is an externally managed closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company ("BDC") under the 1940 Act and was originally formed on July 31, 2014. Effective November 15, 2021, the Fund changed its name to Silver Point Specialty Lending Fund and converted to a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Fund is an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). For so long as the Fund remains an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, it will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve stable income generation with attractive risk-adjusted returns by investing primarily in U.S. middle market lending opportunities, and specialty asset based financings. The Fund may also, from time to time, invest in larger or smaller companies. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may also invest across a broad range of industries. The Fund will invest primarily in first-lien debt, but may also invest in unitranche, second lien, mezzanine and unsecured debt, equity, structured credit, and derivatives depending on the opportunity set and market environment.

Silver Point Specialty Credit Fund Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator. Subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees ("Board of Trustees", the "Board" or the "Trustees"), the Adviser manages the day-to-day operations and provides the Fund with investment advisory and management services. The Adviser is responsible for sourcing, researching and structuring potential investments, monitoring portfolio companies, and providing operating and managerial assistance to the Fund and to its portfolio companies as required.

In 2023, the Fund extended its investment period through June 30, 2025. Following the extension, the Fund was required to provide the holders of common shares of beneficial interests (the “shares”) of the Fund (the “Shareholders” or “Investors”) with the opportunity to sell their shares at a price not less than a net asset value per share prior to June 30, 2025 or the Fund would have begin winding up its affairs. In 2025, the Board approved allowing Shareholders liquidity by permitting them the ability to sell their respective shares, in part or in whole, to new investors at the Fund’s net asset value per share as of April 30, 2025 pursuant to liquidity election forms (the “Liquidity Event”). The Liquidity Event was facilitated through an independent liquidity escrow trust, a Maryland Statutory Trust that initially purchased the shares transferred in the Liquidity Event on behalf of certain third party purchasers. Due to the Liquidity Event, the Fund may perpetually continue its operations.
