Organization | Note 1 – Organization Manulife Private Credit Fund (the Fund) was formed on February 8, 2023 as a Delaware statutory trust and commenced operations on July 17, 2023 concurrent with the initial closing on the Seed Contribution (as defined below). The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize total return in the form of current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation. Effective October 3, 2023, the Fund elected to be regulated as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the date of the Fund’s election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act is referred to herein as the BDC Election Date) and thereafter operate as a continuously offered, diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The Fund is a non-exchange traded, perpetual-life BDC, which is a BDC whose shares of beneficial interest are not listed for trading on a stock exchange or other securities market. At the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees (the Board or Trustees) of the Fund and provided that it is in the best interest of the Fund and shareholders to do so, the Fund intends to provide a limited degree of liquidity to shareholders by conducting repurchase offers generally quarterly; however, there can be no assurance that any such tender offers will be conducted on a quarterly basis or at all. The Fund currently does not intend to offer to repurchase shares at any time during the first two years of operations of the Fund. The Fund is only offered to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), non-U.S. investors within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, and other investors eligible to invest in a private placement. On July 17, 2023, Manulife International Limited (Hong Kong) and Manufacturers Life Reinsurance Limited (collectively, the Sponsors) invested an aggregate of approximately $41.2 million in the Fund (Seed Contribution). The Sponsors received an aggregate of approximately 2.1 million shares of the Fund at $20.00 per share, which represented all the issued and outstanding shares of the Fund on that date. The Fund commenced operations concurrent with the initial closing on the Seed Contribution. Immediately following the closing of the Seed Contribution, the Fund entered into a purchase agreement with John Hancock Funding Company, LLC (JH Funding) to acquire an initial seed portfolio of assets which consisted of approximately $50 million in total par value of senior loan investments, including both funded loans and unfunded commitments.
