Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
September 2026 Distribution
On October 21, 2026, Sound Point Direct Lending BDC (the “Company”) paid a distribution of $0.60 per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2026 (the “September Distribution”) to stockholders of record as of September, 30 2026, in cash or in common shares under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan, as applicable.
Based on the low and high endpoints of the Company’s estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of September 30, 2026, described in Item 8.01 below, the annualized distribution yield on the September Distribution is estimated to range from 9.58% to 9.60%, calculated by multiplying this quarterly distribution by four and dividing by the corresponding estimated September 30, 2026, NAV per share. This annualized yield is not the same as total return and does not represent a guarantee of future distributions.
Estimated Total Return Based on NAV
For the three months ending September 30, 2026, the Company estimates total return based on NAV of 3.40% to 3.57% for its common shares. The estimated year-to-date total return based on NAV through September 30, 2026, was 8.32% to 8.50%, and the estimated inception-to-date total return based on NAV from commencement of operations on December 15, 2025, through September 30, 2026, was 7.50% to 7.67%. The estimated one-year total return is not presented because the Company has not completed a full year of operations.
Total return based on NAV reflects the change in NAV per common share during the applicable period plus distributions per common share, assuming distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. The estimated returns reflect the low and high endpoints of the Company’s September 30, 2026, estimated NAV range described in Item 8.01 below.
The information in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such Section. The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
Estimated Net Asset Value (as of September 30, 2026)
As of September 30, 2026, the Company estimates its NAV per common share was between $25.01 and $25.05, compared with NAV per common share of $24.77 as of June 30, 2026. The Company estimates aggregate NAV between approximately $166.15 million and $166.41 million, based on 6,643,207 common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2026. These estimates are preliminary and subject to the completion of the Company’s valuation and quarter-end reporting procedures.
