Bain Capital Senior Loan Program II, LLC

On December 27, 2024, the Company and an entity advised by Amberstone Co., Ltd. (“Amberstone”), a credit focused investment manager that advises institutional investors, committed capital to a newly formed joint venture, Bain Capital Senior Loan Program II, LLC (“SLP II”). Pursuant to an amended and restated limited liability company agreement between the Company and Amberstone, each such party has a 50% economic ownership interest in SLP II. Total initial capital commitments to SLP II are $100 million, with each party expected to maintain their pro rata proportionate share for each capital contribution. SLP II will seek to invest primarily in senior secured first lien loans of U.S. borrowers. Investment decisions and all other material decisions in respect of SLP II must be approved by representatives of the Company and Amberstone. Effective as of November 18, 2025, the Company and Amberstone each made an additional $100 million capital commitment to SLP II. As of December 31, 2025, the total capital commitments to SLP II were $300 million.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s investment in SLP II consisted of subordinated notes of $20.2 million, preferred equity interests of $0.1 million and equity interests of $7.0 million. As of December 31, 2024, SLP II had not commenced operations and the Company had no investment in SLP II.

In future periods, the Company may sell certain of its investments or a participating interest in certain of its investments to SLP II. Since inception, the Company has sold $148.7 million of its investments to SLP II. The sale of the investments met the criteria set forth in ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing for treatment as a sale.

The Company has determined that SLP II is an investment company under ASC 946; however, in accordance with such guidance, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly or substantially owned investment company subsidiary, which is an extension of the operations of the Company, or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. The Company does not consolidate its investments in SLP II as it is not a substantially wholly owned investment company subsidiary. In addition, the Company does not control SLP II due to the allocation of voting rights among SLP II members. The Company measures the fair value of SLP II in accordance with ASC 820, using the net asset value (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient. The Company and Amberstone each appointed two members to SLP II’s four-person Member Designees’ Committee. All material decisions with respect to SLP II, including those involving its investment portfolio, require unanimous approval of a quorum of Member Designees’ Committee.

On March 19, 2025, SLP II, through SLP 2 MM CLO WH 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility which bears interest at SOFR plus 200 basis points with NatWest Markets Plc, subject to leverage and borrowing base restrictions (the “MM CLO WH 1 Credit Facility”). The maturity date of the MM CLO WH 1 Credit Facility is March 19, 2029. With an effective rate of 6.1% per annum, as of December 31, 2025, the MM CLO WH 1 Credit Facility had $98.3 million of outstanding debt under the credit facility.

Below is a summary of SLP II’s portfolio at fair value:
