Kayne DL 2021, Inc. (the “Company”) is an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company is a Delaware corporation to make investments in middle-market companies and commenced operations on December 16, 2021.

The Company is managed by KA Credit Advisors II, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect controlled subsidiary of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. (“Kayne Anderson”), a prominent alternative investment management firm. The Advisor operates within Kayne Anderson’s middle market private credit platform (“KAPC” or “Kayne Anderson Private Credit”). The Advisor is registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisory Act of 1940, as amended. Subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), the Advisor is responsible for originating prospective investments, conducting research and due diligence investigations on potential investments, analyzing investment opportunities, negotiating and structuring investments, determining the value of the investments and monitoring its investments and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. The Board consists of five directors, four of whom are independent (including the Board’s chairperson).

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation primarily through debt investments in middle-market companies.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company has entered into subscription agreements with investors for an aggregate capital commitment of $353,535 to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock ($35,535 is undrawn). On March 5, 2026, the majority of the Company's stockholders extended the initial term of the commitment period for a two-year period, ending December 16, 2028.

The Company conducts private offerings of its Common Stock to investors in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). At the closing of any private offering, each investor will make a capital commitment (a “Capital Commitment”) to purchase shares of its common stock pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with the Company. Investors will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase shares of common stock up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments each time the Company delivers a notice to the investors. The Company commenced its loan origination and investment activities on December 16, 2021 contemporaneously with the initial drawdown from investors in the private offering.
