Additional Commentary
Performance Update
Private credit loan1 quality for the Fund remains strong based on several key metrics including a weighted-average mark2 of 98.5, PIK income of less than 1.5%, and zero non-accruals.
Notably, while broader non-traded BDCs have faced elevated redemption pressures, the Fund has remained resilient, recording its twelfth consecutive quarter of net growth with tender offer requests in the second quarter holding steady at approximately 3%.
For the second quarter, the Fund generated net investment income of $0.57 per share, which fully covered the distribution ($0.57 per share). In addition, the Fund realized losses of ($0.05) per share and generated unrealized losses of ($0.18)3 per share. The Fund employs an independent 3rd party valuation process4 to incorporate changes in asset performance and market conditions in the Fund’s NAV on a monthly basis.
The Fund’s year-to-date total net return was 3.11% (Class I)5 outperforming leveraged loans by 180 bps6 and high yield bonds by 122 bps7, and supported by the Fund’s modest software exposure, disciplined underwriting, and monthly cash dividend.
Status of Offering
The Fund is currently publicly offering on a continuous basis up to $4.0 billion in Shares (the “Offering”). The following table lists the Shares and total consideration for the Offering and the Private Offering as of the date of this filing (through the July 1, 2026 subscription date).

End Notes
1.Portfolio metric pertain to directly originated loans only and exclude mutual fund or other collective holdings.
2.Represents the weighted average mark based on funded capital.
3.Includes a non-cash valuation change of ($0.04) per share on an interest rate swap associated with the Fund’s unsecured fixed-rate debt. The swap is a risk management tool or hedge that better aligns the Fund’s liabilities with the Fund’s predominantly floating-rate assets.
4.A third-party valuation agent performs monthly valuation on all direct loan investments based upon unaudited reports from the underlying investments that may be subject to later adjustments, may not correspond to realized value and may not accurately reflect the price at which assets could be liquidated, and the differences could be material.
5.Total Net Return is calculated as the change in NAV per share during the period, plus distributions per share (assuming dividends and distributions are reinvested) divided by the beginning NAV per share. The return shown is derived from unaudited financial information and are net of all Fund expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction related expenses, management fees, incentive fees, and share class specific fees, but exclude the impact of early repurchase deductions on the repurchase of shares that have been outstanding for less than one year. Past performance does not predict future returns. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in the Fund’s portfolio, which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for the Fund’s NAV.
