CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about HPS Corporate Lending Fund (together, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “our”), our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs and opinions, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “potential,” “predicts” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:

•our future operating results;

•our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies, including our and their ability to achieve our respective objectives as a result of inflation, the imposition of tariffs, increases in borrowing costs and a potential global recession;

•the impact of geo-political conditions, including revolution, insurgency, terrorism or war, including those arising out of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the broader Middle East conflict;

•the impact of the investments that we expect to make;

•our ability to raise sufficient capital to execute our investment strategy;

•our current and expected financing arrangements and investments;

•the adequacy of our cash resources, financing sources and working capital;

•changes in the general interest rate environment, including a sustained elevated interest rate environment, and uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s intentions regarding interest rates in the upcoming year;

•the timing and amount of cash flows, distributions and dividends, if any, from our portfolio companies;

•our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;

•actual and potential conflicts of interest with HPS Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) or any of its affiliates;

•the elevated level of inflation, and its impact on our portfolio companies and on the industries in which we invest;

•the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its effect on the industries in which we may invest;

•the availability of credit and/or our ability to access the capital markets;

•our use of financial leverage;

•the ability of the Adviser to source suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;

•the ability of the Adviser or its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals;

•our ability to qualify for and maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company and as a business development company (“BDC”);

•the impact on our business of new or amended legislation or regulations;

•currency fluctuations, particularly to the extent that we receive payments denominated in currency other than U.S. dollars;

•the effect of changes to tax legislation and our tax position; and

•the tax status of the enterprises in which we may invest, including the imposition of tariffs upon either the supplies utilized by those enterprises or the enterprises’ end products.

Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of any projection or forward-looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. Moreover, we assume no duty and do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. Because we are an investment company, the forward-looking statements and projections contained in this report are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt and equity investments held by the Company (which such term “Company” shall include the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries for purposes of this Consolidated Schedule of Investments) are denominated in U.S. dollars. All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise indicated. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted. Certain portfolio company investments are subject to contractual restrictions on sales. The total par amount (in thousands) is presented for debt investments and the number of shares or units (in whole amounts) owned is presented for equity investments. Each of the Company’s investments is pledged as collateral under its credit facilities and debt securitization issuances unless otherwise indicated.

(2) The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”), Prime Rate (“Prime” or “P”), Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA" or "SN"), Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“Euribor” or “E”), Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "SF"), Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR" or "C"), Singapore Overnight Rate Average (“SORA”), Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate (“STIBOR” or “ST”), Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate (“NIBOR” or “N”), Tokyo Overnight Average Rate (“TONA” or “TN”), Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index (“BS”), or Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate ("BBSY" or "B") which reset daily, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. For each such investment, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR, Prime, SONIA, E, SOFR, CDOR, SORA, STIBOR, TN, NIBOR, BS or BBSW and the current contractual interest rate in effect at March 31, 2025. Certain investments are subject to a LIBOR, Prime, or SOFR interest rate floor, or rate cap. Certain investments contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision. SOFR-based contracts may include a credit spread adjustment, which is included within the stated all-in interest rate, if applicable, that is charged in addition to the base rate and the stated spread.

(3) The cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

(4) These investments were valued using unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3 investments. Fair value was determined in good faith by the Adviser as the Company’s valuation designee, subject to the oversight of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) (see Note 2 and Note 5), pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy.

(5) The investment is not a qualifying asset, in whole or in part, under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “1940 Act”). The Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time of acquisition, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of March 31, 2025, non-qualifying assets represented 23.04% of total assets as calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements.

(6) Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion, although the investment may be subject to unused commitment fees. Negative cost and fair value results from unamortized fees, which are capitalized to the investment cost. The unfunded loan commitment may be subject to a commitment termination date that may expire prior to the maturity date stated. See below for more information on the Company’s unfunded commitments:

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt and equity investments held by the Company (which such term “Company” shall include the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries for purposes of this Consolidated Schedule of Investments) are denominated in dollars. All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise indicated. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted. Certain portfolio company investments are subject to contractual restrictions on sales. The total par amount (in thousands) is presented for debt investments and the number of shares or units (in whole amounts) owned is presented for equity investments. Each of the Company’s investments is pledged as collateral under its credit facilities and debt securitization issuances unless otherwise indicated.

(2) The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”), Prime Rate (“Prime” or “P”), Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA" or "SN"), Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“Euribor” or “E”), Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "SF"), Canadian Dollar

Offered Rate ("CDOR" or "C"), Singapore Overnight Rate Average (“SORA”), Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate (“STIBOR” or “ST”), Norwegian Interbank Offered Rate (“NIBOR” or “N”), Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index (“BS”), or Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate ("BBSY" or "B") which reset daily, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. For each such investment, the Company has provided the spread over LIBOR, Prime, SONIA, E, SOFR, CDOR, SORA, STIBOR, NIBOR, BS or BBSW and the current contractual interest rate in effect at December 31, 2024. Certain investments are subject to a LIBOR, Prime, or SOFR interest rate floor, or rate cap. Certain investments contain a Payment-in-Kind (“PIK”) provision. SOFR based contracts may include a credit spread adjustment, which is included within the stated all-in interest rate, if applicable, that is charged in addition to the base rate and the stated spread.

(3) The cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

(4) These investments were valued using unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3 investments. Fair value was determined in good faith by the Adviser as the Company’s valuation designee, subject to the oversight of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) (see Note 2 and Note 5), pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy.

(5) The investment is not a qualifying asset, in whole or in part, under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. The Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time of acquisition, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of December 31, 2024, non-qualifying assets represented 21.0% of total assets as calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements.

(6) Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion, although the investment may be subject to unused commitment fees. Negative cost and fair value results from unamortized fees, which are capitalized to the investment cost. The unfunded loan commitment may be subject to a commitment termination date that may expire prior to the maturity date stated. See below for more information on the Company’s unfunded commitments:

HPS Corporate Lending Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share data, percentages and as otherwise noted)

Note 1. Organization

HPS Corporate Lending Fund (the “Company” or “HLEND”) is a Delaware statutory trust that was formed on December 23, 2020 and commenced operations on February 3, 2022. The Company is a non-diversified, closed-end 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”). The Company is externally managed by HPS Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of HPS Investment Partners, LLC (the “Administrator” or “HPS”). Prior to June 30, 2023, the Company was externally managed by HPS. The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company’s investment objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns, predominately in the form of current income, with select investments exhibiting the ability to capture long-term capital appreciation. The Company seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in newly originated, privately negotiated senior credit investments in high quality, established upper middle market companies, and in select situations, companies in special situations. The Company uses the term “upper middle market companies” generally to mean companies with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $75 million to $1 billion annually or $250 million to $5 billion in revenue annually at the time of investment.

The Company has and may continue to invest in smaller or larger companies if an opportunity presents attractive investment and risk-adjusted returns. In addition to corporate level obligations, the Company’s investments in such companies may also opportunistically include private asset-based financings such as equipment financings, financings against mission-critical corporate assets and mortgage loans, and/or investments that represent equity in portfolios of loans, receivables or other debt instruments. The Company may also participate in programmatic investments through partnerships or joint ventures with one or more unaffiliated banks or other financial institutions, including structures where a partner assumes senior exposure to each investment, and the Company participates in the junior exposure.

The Company’s investment strategy also includes a smaller allocation to more liquid credit investments such as non-investment grade broadly syndicated loans, leveraged loans, secured and unsecured corporate bonds, and securitized credit. This allocation may also include senior secured loans, senior secured bonds, high yield bonds and structured credit instruments.

The strategy of the Company primarily focuses on companies in the United States, but also intends to leverage the Adviser’s presence to invest in companies in Europe, Australia and other locations outside the U.S. In addition, the Company may also invest in publicly traded securities of larger corporate issuers on an opportunistic basis when market conditions create compelling potential return opportunities, subject to compliance with BDC requirements to invest at least 70% of assets in “eligible portfolio companies.”

The Company offers on a continuous basis up to $15.0 billion of common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) pursuant to an offering registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Offering”). The Company offers to sell any combination of four classes of Common Shares: Class I shares, Class D shares, Class F shares, and Class S shares, with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount. The share classes have different ongoing shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees. The purchase price per share for each class of Common Shares equals the net asset value (“NAV”) per share, as of the effective date of the monthly share purchase date. HPS Securities, LLC (the “Managing Dealer” or “HPS Securities”) will use its best efforts to sell shares, but is not obligated to purchase or sell any specific amount of Common Shares in the Offering. The Company also engages in private offerings of Common Shares. Prior to April 11, 2024, Emerson Equity LLC was the managing dealer of the Company.

On December 3, 2024, HPS entered into an agreement with BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) for BlackRock, Inc. to acquire 100% of HPS (the “HPS/BlackRock Transaction”). The acquisition is subject to receipt of certain consents from investors in HPS funds and accounts, regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in mid-2025. As of March 31, 2025, management does not expect that the acquisition will materially impact the Company.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 6 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain

55

disclosures accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair statement of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

As an investment company, the Company applies the accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Basis of Consolidation

As provided under ASC 946, the Company will not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company.

The Company consolidated the results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries HLEND Holdings A, L.P. (“HLEND A”), HLEND Holdings B, L.P. (“HLEND B”), HLEND Holdings C, L.P. (“HLEND C”), HLEND Holdings D, L.P. (“HLEND D”), HLEND Holdings E, L.P. (“HLEND E”), HLEND CLO 2023-1 Investments, LLC, HLEND CLO 2024-2 Investments, LLC, HLEND CLO 2025-3 Investments, LLC, HLEND Proxima, LLC, HLEND FEP, LLC, HLEND OTM, LLC and HLEND Lux Sarl. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company does not consolidate its investment in the ULTRA III, LLC (“ULTRA III”) joint venture. For further description of the Company’s joint venture, see “Note 11. Joint Venture.”

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds received (excluding prepayment fees, if any) and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized gains or losses primarily reflects the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses with respect to investments realized during the period.

The Company is required to report its investments for which current market values are not readily available at fair value. The Company values its investments in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices derived from such prices over entity-specific inputs. Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a ready market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material.

Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and are freely transferable are valued at either the closing price (in the case of securities and futures) or the mean of the closing bid and offer (in the case of options) on the principal exchange on which the investment is listed or traded. Investments for which other market quotations are readily available will typically be valued at those market quotations. To validate market quotations, the Company utilizes a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations. Where it is possible to obtain reliable, independent market quotations from a third-party vendor, the Company uses these quotations to determine the value of its investments. The Company utilizes mid-market pricing (i.e., mid-point of average bid and ask prices) to value these investments. The Adviser obtains these market quotations from independent pricing services, if available; otherwise from one or more broker quotes. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and

56

methodologies, the Adviser regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to independent pricing services or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the valuation procedures. The Adviser does not adjust the prices unless it has a reason to believe market quotations are not reflective of the fair value of an investment.

Where prices or inputs are not available or, in the judgment of the Adviser, not reliable, valuation approaches based on the facts and circumstances of the particular investment will be utilized. Securities that are not publicly traded or for which market prices are not readily available, as will be the case for a substantial portion of the Company’s investments, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser as the Company’s valuation designee under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy, and under the oversight of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), based on, among other things, the input of one or more independent valuation firms retained by the Company to review the Company’s investments. These valuation approaches involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments’ complexity.

With respect to the quarterly valuation of investments, the Company undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of its investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available as of the last calendar day of each quarter, which includes, among other procedures, the following:

•The valuation process begins with each investment being preliminarily valued by the Adviser’s valuation team in consultation with the Adviser’s investment professionals responsible for each portfolio investment;

•In addition, independent valuation firms retained by the Company prepare quarter-end valuations of each such investment that was (i) originated or purchased prior to the first calendar day of the quarter and (ii) is not a de minimis investment, as determined by the Adviser. The independent valuation firms provide a final range of values on such investments to the Adviser. The independent valuation firms also provide analyses to support their valuation methodology and calculations;

•The Adviser’s valuation committee with respect to the Company (the “Valuation Committee”) reviews the valuation recommendations prepared by the Adviser’s valuation team and, as appropriate, the independent valuation firms’ valuation ranges; 

•The Valuation Committee then determines fair value marks for each of the Company’s portfolio investments; and

•The Board and Audit Committee periodically review the valuation process and provide oversight in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act.

As part of the valuation process, the Company takes into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, many of which are loans, including and in combination, as relevant: (i) the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company, generally based on an analysis of discounted cash flows, publicly traded comparable companies and comparable transactions, (ii) the nature and realizable value of any collateral, (iii) the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and cash flow, (iv) the markets in which the portfolio company does business, and (v) overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity or debt sale occurs, the Adviser considers whether the pricing indicated by the external event corroborates its valuation.

The Company has and will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment each quarter, and the Adviser and the Company may reasonably rely on that assistance. However, the Adviser is responsible for the ultimate valuation of the portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy, the Board’s oversight and a consistently applied valuation process.

Derivative Instruments

The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. In a foreign currency forward contract, the Company agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. Foreign currency forward contracts are marked-to-market at the applicable forward rate. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. Notional amounts of foreign currency forward contract assets and liabilities are presented separately on the Consolidated Schedules of Investments. Purchases and settlements of foreign currency forward contracts having the same settlement date and counterparty are generally settled net and any realized gains or losses are recognized on the settlement date. As it relates to foreign currency forward contracts, the Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such, the Company recognizes its derivatives at fair value with changes in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

57

Additionally, the Company uses interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the Company's fixed rate liabilities. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is included as derivative assets at fair value or derivative liabilities at fair value, as applicable, on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Company designated the interest rate swaps as the hedging instruments in a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship, and therefore the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and hedged item are recorded as components of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap is offset by a change in the carrying value of the fixed rate debt.

The fair value of the Company’s derivatives is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities by security type and counterparty on a net basis, if subject to an enforceable master netting agreement, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $0.1 million and $10.6 million, respectively, of collateral pledged, which is included in other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, there was $21.0 million of collateral received which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Asset and Liabilities. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $0.1 million and $10.6 million, respectively, of collateral was invested in a money market fund.

Loan Participations

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing when accounting for loan participations and other partial loan sales. Such guidance requires a participation or other partial loan sale to meet the definition of a “participating interest,” as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales that do not meet the definition of a participating interest remain on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the proceeds are recorded as a secured borrowing until the definition is met. Secured borrowings are carried at fair value to correspond with the related investments, which are carried at fair value. There were no participations that were accounted for as secured borrowings during the period.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates effective on the last business day of the period; and (ii) purchases and sales of investments, borrowings and repayments of such borrowings, income, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.

The Company does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included within the net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments. Fluctuations arising from the translation of non-investment assets and liabilities are included with the net change in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency translations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.

Revenue Recognition

Interest Income

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortizations of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original cost, including loan origination fees and upfront fees received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income in the current period. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded non-recurring interest income of $5.4 million and $22.4 million, respectively (e.g. prepayment premiums, accelerated accretion of upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts).

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Additionally, any original issue discount and market

58

discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had certain investments in nine and eight portfolio companies on non-accrual status, respectively.

PIK Income

The Company has loans in its portfolio that contain PIK provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity. Such income is included in interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. If at any point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest is generally reversed through interest income. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to shareholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected cash.

Dividend Income

Dividend income on preferred equity securities and on the Company’s membership interests in its joint ventures are recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies. To the extent a preferred equity security contains PIK provisions, PIK dividends, computed at the contractual rate specified in each applicable agreement, are accrued and recorded as dividend income and added to the principal balance of the preferred equity security. PIK dividends added to the principal balance are generally collected upon redemption of the equity. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $11.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of dividend income, of which, $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, relate to PIK dividends.

Other Income

The Company may receive various fees in the ordinary course of business such as structuring, consent, waiver, amendment, syndication and other miscellaneous fees as well as fees for managerial assistance rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

Organization Costs

Organization expenses include, among other things, the cost of incorporating the Company and the cost of legal services and other fees pertaining to the Company's organization.

Offering Expenses

The Company's offering expenses include, among other things, legal fees, registration fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the Company's registration statement (and any amendments or supplements thereto) relating to the offering and associated marketing materials. Offering costs are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over a twelve-month period from incurrence.

Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Issuance Costs

Deferred financing and debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These expenses are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method. Deferred financing costs related to revolving credit facilities are presented separately as an asset on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Debt issuance costs related to any issuance of installment debt or notes are presented net against the outstanding debt balance of the related security.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its shareholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company would represent obligations of the Company’s shareholders and would not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

59

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company intends to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will generally relieve the Company from corporate-level income taxes.

To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income” for that year, which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses.

In addition, based on the excise tax distribution requirements, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner in each taxable year an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (iii) any income realized, but not distributed, in prior years. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. To the extent that it determines that estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions from such taxable income, the Company will accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated undistributed taxable income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company accrued $0.3 million and $(0.0) million of U.S. federal excise tax, respectively.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses

Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the aggregate net asset value of that class in relation to the aggregate net asset value of the Company. Expenses that are specific to a class of shares are allocated to such class directly.

Distributions

To the extent that the Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make monthly distributions to its shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s earnings, financial condition, maintenance of our tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time. Although the gross distribution per share is generally equivalent for each share class, the net distribution for each share class is reduced for any class specific expenses, including shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees, if any.

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to which shareholders will have their cash distributions (net of applicable withholding taxes) automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's same class of Common Shares to which the distribution relates unless they elect to receive their distributions in cash.

Segment Reporting

In accordance with ASC Topic 280—Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company has determined that it has a single operating and reporting segment. As a result, the Company’s segment accounting policies are the same as described herein and the Company does not have any intra-segment sales and transfers of assets.

The Company operates through a single operating and reporting segment with an investment objective to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is comprised of the Company’s chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer and the CODM assesses the performance and makes operating decisions of the Company on a consolidated basis primarily based on the Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations (“net income”). In addition to numerous other factors and metrics, the CODM utilizes net income as a key metric in determining the amount of dividends to be distributed to the Company’s shareholders. As the Company’s operations comprise of a single reporting

60

segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (“ASUs”) issued by the FASB. The Company has assessed currently issued ASUs and has determined that ASUs not listed are not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”),” which intends to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company does not expect this update to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 2200-40),” which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Fees, Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions

Investment Advisory Agreement

On January 20, 2022, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement with HPS, pursuant to which HPS managed the Company on a day-to-day basis until June 30, 2023. On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser and HPS in connection with a corporate reorganization of the investment advisory operations with respect to the Company. The Adviser is responsible for determining the portfolio composition, making investment decisions, monitoring investments, performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies and providing the Company with such other investment advisory and related services as may reasonably be required for the investment of capital.

The Investment Advisory Agreement was effective for an initial one-year term and will remain in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually by a majority of the Board or by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities and, in each case, a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Company, the Adviser, or of their respective affiliates as defined in Section 2 (a)(19) of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”). The Company may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement, without payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written notice. The Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment within the meaning of the 1940 Act and related SEC guidance and interpretations. The Investment Advisory Agreement was renewed and approved by the Board, on May 13, 2024, for a one-year period ending on June 30, 2025. The Investment Advisory Agreement was most recently approved by the Board on October 22, 2024 and renewed on November 27, 2024.

The closing of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Company's current investment advisory agreement with the Adviser (the “Current Investment Advisory Agreement”) under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, the Board approved a new investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Adviser (the “New Investment Advisory Agreement”), which will replace the Current Investment Advisory Agreement and become effective at the closing of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction. During a special meeting of shareholders held on April 16, 2025, the shareholders of the Company approved the New Investment Advisory Agreement.

Our investment strategy and team, including our executive officers, are expected to remain materially unchanged, and the HPS/BlackRock Transaction is not expected to have a material impact on our operations. All material terms remain unchanged from the Current Investment Advisory Agreement to the New Investment Advisory Agreement, including the management and incentive fees payable by the Company, except as otherwise described in the proxy statement mailed to the Company’s shareholders

On January 15, 2025, Grishma Parekh notified the Board of the Company that she is resigning from the Board effective and contingent upon the closing of the HPS/Blackrock Transaction in order to comply with the Section 15(f) safe harbor provisions of the 1940 Act. Following the closing of the HPS/Blackrock Transaction, Ms. Parekh is expected to continue to serve as President of the Company, a

61

member of the Investment Committee of the Company and in her existing role at HPS and the Adviser. If the HPS/Blackrock Transaction does not close, Ms. Parekh will not resign from the Board, and she is expected to continue to serve as Trustee of the Company and in her existing role at HPS and the Adviser.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a fee for its services. The fee consists of two components: a management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the management fee and the incentive fee are ultimately borne by the shareholders.

Base Management Fee

The management fee is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the value of the Company’s net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month. For purposes of the Investment Advisory Agreement, net assets means the Company’s total assets less the carrying value of liabilities, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, base management fees were $29.1 million and $18.3 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $19.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively, were payable to the Adviser related to management fees.

Incentive Fees

The incentive fee consists of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the incentive fee is based on a percentage of the Company’s income and a portion is based on a percentage of the Company’s capital gains, each as described below.

(i) Income based incentive fee

The income based incentive fee is based on the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, as defined below. “Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns” means interest income, dividends, cash interest or other distributions or other cash income and any third-party fees received from portfolio companies (such as upfront fees, commitment fees, origination fee, amendment fees, ticking fees and break-up fees, as well as prepayments premiums, but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the quarter, minus operating expenses for the quarter (including the management fee, taxes, any expenses payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement and an administration agreement with the administrator, any expense of securitizations, and interest expense or other financing fees and any dividends paid on preferred stock, but excluding incentive fees and shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero-coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The impact of expense support payments and recoupments are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns.

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, is compared to a “Hurdle Rate” defined as a return of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized).

The Company pays the Adviser an incentive fee quarterly in arrears with respect to the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in each calendar quarter as follows:

i.No incentive fee will be paid on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not exceed the Hurdle Rate;

ii.100% of the dollar amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns with respect to that portion of such Pre- Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than a rate of return of 1.43% (5.72% annualized). This portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns (which exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than 1.43%) is referred to as the “Catch-Up.” The Catch-Up is meant to provide the Adviser with 12.5% of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns as if a Hurdle Rate did not apply if this net investment income exceeds 1.43% in any calendar quarter; and

62

iii.12.5% of the dollar amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceed a rate of return of 1.43% (5.72% annualized).

These calculations are prorated for any period of less than three months, including the first quarter the Company commenced operations, and are adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, income based incentive fees were $33.7 million and $25.6 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $33.7 million and $32.0 million, respectively, were payable to the Adviser relating to income based incentive fees.

(ii) Capital gains incentive fee

The second component of the incentive fee, the capital gains incentive fee, is payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears. The amount payable equals 12.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of such calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. This U.S. GAAP accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation, net of any expense associated with cumulative unrealized capital depreciation or appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then U.S. GAAP requires the Company to record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 12.5% of such cumulative amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains incentive fees paid or capital gains incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, capital gains incentive fees accrued were $(6.0) million and $6.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company accrued $6.9 million and $12.9 million, respectively, of capital gains incentive fees, none of which were payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Administration Agreement

On January 20, 2022, the Company entered into an administration agreement, subsequently amended on November 27, 2024 (as further amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Administration Agreement”), with the Administrator under which the Administrator provides, or oversees the performance of, administrative and compliance services, including, but not limited to, maintaining financial records, overseeing the calculation of the Company’s NAV, compliance monitoring (including diligence and oversight of other service providers), preparing reports to shareholders and reports filed with the SEC and other regulators, preparing materials and coordinating meetings of the Company’s Board, managing the payment of expenses, the payment and receipt of funds for investments and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others and providing office space, equipment and office services. The Company reimburses the Administrator for the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. Such reimbursement includes the Company’s allocable portion of compensation (including salaries, bonuses and benefits), overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, including but not limited to: (i) the Company’s chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs; (ii) investor relations, legal, operations and other non-investment professionals at the Administrator that perform duties for the Company; and (iii) any internal audit group personnel of the Administrator or any of its affiliates, subject to the limitations described in the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator may delegate its obligations under the Administration Agreement to an affiliate or to a third party and the Company will reimburse the Administrator for any services performed for the Company by such affiliate or third party.

The amount of the reimbursement payable to the Administrator for administrative services will be the lesser of (1) Administrators’ actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. The Administrator is required to allocate the cost of such services to the Company based on factors such as assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Company does not reimburse the Administrator for any services for which it receives a separate fee, or for (1) rent or depreciation, utilities, capital equipment and other administrative items of the Administrator, and (2) salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses and other administrative items incurred or allocated to any “Controlling Person” (as defined in the North American Securities Administrators Association’s Omnibus Guidelines Statement of Policy, as amended from time to time (the “Omnibus Guidelines”)) of the Administrator.

63

Unless earlier terminated as described below, the Administration Agreement was effective for a one-year term ending on June 30, 2024 and will remain in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually by a majority of the Board or by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities and, in each case, a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Company may terminate the Administration Agreement, without payment of any penalty, upon 120 days’ written notice. The Administration Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment within the meaning of the 1940 Act and related SEC guidance and interpretations. The Administration Agreement was renewed and approved by the Board, on May 13, 2024, for a one-year period ending on June 30, 2025. The Administration Agreement was most recently approved by the Board on October 22, 2024 and renewed on November 27, 2024.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $1.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in expenses under the Administration Agreement, which are recorded in “administrative service expenses” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $4.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of administrative service expenses payable by the Company which are included in “due to affiliates” in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The current Administration Agreement will be terminated as a result of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction. Accordingly, the Board has approved a new administration agreement between the Company and the Administrator, with the material terms unchanged from the current agreement, set to take effect at the time of the closing of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction.

Sub-Administration Agreement

HPS previously engaged U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“U.S. Bancorp”) to assist in the provision of sub-administrative and fund accounting services. On August 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement (the “Sub-Administration Agreement”) with HPS and Harmonic Fund Services (“Harmonic”) as the Company’s sub-administrator. Pursuant to the Sub-Administration Agreement, Harmonic provides certain administrative services necessary for the operations of the Company. The Company bears all fees to be paid to Harmonic under the Sub-Administration Agreement and Harmonic is entitled to receive reimbursement from the Company for all out-of-pocket expenses properly incurred by Harmonic in respect of the services provided pursuant to the Sub-Administration Agreement.

Managing Dealer Agreement

On April 11, 2024, the Company entered into a managing dealer agreement (the “Managing Dealer Agreement”) with HPS Securities. In connection with the transition to HPS Securities as the Company’s Managing Dealer, the Company provided notice for the termination of the managing dealer agreement dated as of August 3, 2021 by and between the Company and Emerson Equity LLC, which termination was effective as of April 11, 2024.

Under the terms of the Managing Dealer Agreement, the Managing Dealer will serve as the Managing Dealer for the Offering. The Managing Dealer will be entitled to receive shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.85% of the value of the Company’s net assets attributable to Class D shares, Class F shares and Class S shares, respectively, as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month. No shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees will be paid with respect to Class I. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees will be payable to the Managing Dealer, but the Managing Dealer anticipates that all or a portion of the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees will be retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating broker-dealers. The Company will not pay any other fees to the Managing Dealer. As set forth in and pursuant to the managing dealer agreement with Emerson Equity LLC, the Company paid Emerson Equity LLC, the Company’s managing dealer prior to April 11, 2024, certain fees, including a $35,000 engagement fee that was previously paid, a $250,000 fixed managing dealer fee payable quarterly (which commenced in the first quarter of 2022) in arrears in five equal quarterly installments that was paid, and a two basis point (0.02%) variable managing dealer fee that was payable on any new capital raised in the offering following the expiration of the initial 15-month period of the Offering. In addition, in connection with services provided by Emerson Equity LLC with respect to the sale of shares registered pursuant to the registration statement filed on Form N-2 on June 30, 2023 related to a follow-on offering of shares of the Company, HPS agreed to pay and paid a one-time fee of $60,000 to Emerson Equity LLC. For the avoidance of doubt, such fee was borne and paid in its entirety solely by HPS, and such fee (or any portion thereof) was not borne or paid directly or indirectly by the Company or the shareholders.

The Company or the Adviser may also pay directly, or reimburse the Managing Dealer if the Managing Dealer pays on the Company’s behalf, any organization and offering expenses (other than any upfront selling commissions and shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees).

64

The Company will cease paying the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees on the Class D shares, Class F shares and Class S shares on the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a listing of Class I shares, (ii) a merger or consolidation with or into another entity, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (iii) the date following the completion of the primary portion of the Offering on which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources in connection with the Offering, including the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees and other underwriting compensation, is equal to 10% of the gross proceeds from the Offering.

In addition, at the end of the month in which the Managing Dealer in conjunction with the transfer agent determines that total transaction or other fees, including upfront placement fees or brokerage commissions, and shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees paid with respect to any single share held in a shareholder’s account would exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such share (or a lower limit as determined by the Managing Dealer or the applicable selling agent), the Company will cease paying the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee on either (i) each such share that would exceed such limit or (ii) all Class D shares, Class F shares and Class S shares in such shareholder’s account. At the end of such month, the applicable Class D shares, Class F shares or Class S shares in such shareholder’s account will convert into a number of Class I shares (including any fractional shares), with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such Class D, Class F or Class S shares.

The Managing Dealer is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

The Managing Dealer Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, on not more than 60 days’ written notice to the Managing Dealer or the Adviser. The Managing Dealer Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Either party may terminate the Managing Dealer Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party or immediately upon notice to the other party in the event such other party failed to comply with a material provision of the Managing Dealer Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Managing Dealer Agreement to pay the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees with respect to the Class S, Class D shares and Class F shares distributed shall survive termination of the agreement until such shares are no longer outstanding (including such shares that have been converted into Class I shares, as described above).

The current Managing Dealer Agreement will be terminated as a result of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction. Accordingly, the Board approved a new managing dealer agreement between the Company and the Managing Dealer, with the material terms unchanged from the current agreement, set to take effect at the time of the closing of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction.

Distribution and Servicing Plan

On August 9, 2021, the Board approved a distribution and servicing plan (the “Distribution and Servicing Plan”). The following table shows the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees the Company pays the Managing Dealer with respect to the Class I, Class D, Class F, and Class S on an annualized basis as a percentage of the Company’s NAV for such class.

	Shareholder Servicing and/or Distribution Fee as a % of NAV
Class I shares	—	%
Class D shares	0.25	%
Class F shares	0.50	%
Class S shares	0.85	%

The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are paid monthly in arrears, calculated using the net asset value of the applicable class as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month and subject to FINRA and other limitations on underwriting compensation.

The Managing Dealer will reallow (pay) all or a portion of the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees to participating brokers and servicing brokers for ongoing shareholder services performed by such brokers, and will waive shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees to the extent a broker is not eligible to receive it for failure to provide such services. Because the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees with respect to Class D, Class F or Class S shares are calculated based on the aggregate net asset value for all of the

65

outstanding shares of each such class, it reduces the net asset value with respect to all shares of each such class, including shares issued under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan.

Eligibility to receive the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee is conditioned on a broker providing the following ongoing services with respect to the Class D, Class F or Class S shares: assistance with recordkeeping, answering investor inquiries regarding the Company, including regarding distribution payments and reinvestments, helping investors understand their investments upon their request, and assistance with share repurchase requests. If the applicable broker is not eligible to receive the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee due to failure to provide these services, the Managing Dealer will waive the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee that broker would have otherwise been eligible to receive. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are ongoing fees that are not paid at the time of purchase.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees of $0.7 million, $5.8 million and $1.0 million, which were attributable to Class D, Class F and Class S shares, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees of $0.5 million, $4.3 million and $0.2 million, which were attributable to Class D, Class F and Class S shares, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees payable to the Managing Dealer.

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

On January 20, 2022, the Company entered into an expense support and conditional reimbursement agreement with the Adviser. On June 30, 2023, the Company and the Adviser entered into an Amended and Restated Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (as further amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Expense Support Agreement”) in connection with the corporate reorganization of the investment advisory operations with respect to the Company. Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, on a monthly basis, the Adviser is obligated to advance all of the Company’s Other Operating Expenses (as defined hereafter) (each, a “Required Expense Payment”) to the extent that such expenses exceed 1.00% (on an annualized basis) of the Company’s NAV. The Adviser may elect to pay an additional portion of the Company’s expenses from time to time, which the Company will be obligated to reimburse to the Adviser at a later date if certain conditions are met.

“Other Operating Expenses” means the Company’s total organization and offering expenses, professional fees, trustee fees, administration fees, and other general and administrative expenses (including the Company’s allocable portion of compensation (including salaries, bonuses and benefits), overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, subject to the limitations described in the Administration Agreement).

Any Required Expense Payment must be paid by the Adviser to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds and/or offset against amounts due from the Company to the Adviser or its affiliates.

The Adviser may elect to pay certain additional expenses on behalf of the Company (each, a “Voluntary Expense Payment” and together with a Required Expense Payment, the “Expense Payments”), provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any interest expense or shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees of the Company. Any Voluntary Expense Payment that the Adviser has committed to pay must be paid by the Adviser to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than 45 days after such commitment was made in writing, and/or offset against amounts due from the Company to the Adviser or its affiliates.

Following any calendar month in which Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Company’s shareholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar month (the amount of such excess being hereinafter referred to as “Excess Operating Funds”), the Company shall pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof, to the Adviser until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Adviser to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar month have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company shall be referred to herein as a “Reimbursement Payment.”

“Available Operating Funds” means the sum of (i) the Company’s net investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gains reduced by net long-term capital losses), (ii) the Company’s net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above).

The Company’s obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment shall automatically become a liability of the Company on the last business day of the applicable calendar month, except to the extent the Adviser has waived its right to receive such payment for the applicable month.

66

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Adviser made no Expense Payments on behalf of the Company and there were no Reimbursement Payments made to the Adviser.

Controlled/Affiliated Portfolio Companies

Under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify non-controlled investments where it owns 5% or more of a portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company as investments in “affiliated” companies. In addition, under the 1940 Act, the Company is required to separately identify investments where it owns more than 25% of a portfolio company’s outstanding voting securities and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of such portfolio company as investments in “controlled” companies. Under the 1940 Act, “non-affiliated investments” are defined as investments that are neither controlled investments nor affiliated investments. Detailed information with respect to the Company’s non-controlled, non-affiliated; non-controlled, affiliated; and controlled/affiliated investments is contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including the Consolidated Schedules of Investments.

The Company has made an investment in a joint venture, ULTRA III, which is considered a controlled/affiliated company. For a further description of ULTRA III, see “Note 11. Joint Venture.”

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had certain investments in nine and eight portfolio companies on non-accrual status, respectively, which represented 0.58% and 0.70% of total debt and income producing investments (excluding investments in joint ventures), at fair value, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, on a fair value basis, 99.4% and 99.3% of performing debt investments bore interest at a floating rate and 0.6% and 0.7%, of performing debt investments bore interest at a fixed rate, respectively.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodology used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology that reflect unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

•Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

•Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Adviser’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. 

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company applies the valuation policy approved by its Board that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of the inputs, including any markets in which its investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value.

69

Investments whose values are based on the listed closing price quoted on the securities’ principal exchange are classified within Level 1 and include active listed equities. The Adviser does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. These include investment-grade corporate bonds, structured products, and certain bank loans, less liquid listed equities, and high yield bonds. As Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.

Investments classified within Level 3 have unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently, or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these investments, the Adviser uses one or more valuation techniques (e.g., the market approach and the income approach) of which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3, the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market data, while the use of the income approach generally consists of the net present value of estimated future cash flows, which may be adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.

Investments in senior loans primarily include first and second lien term loans, delayed draws and revolving credit. The Adviser analyzes enterprise value based on the weighted average of discounted cash flows, public comparables and merger and acquisition comparables. This analysis is done to ensure, among other things, that the investments have adequate collateral and asset coverage. Once the investment is determined to have adequate asset coverage, the Adviser monitors yields for senior loan investments made from the time of purchase to the month end average yields for similar investments and risk profiles. The Company uses market data, including newly funded transactions, and secondary market data with respect to high-yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield. The change in yield is utilized by the Adviser to discount the anticipated cash flows of the debt investment in order to arrive at a fair value. Further, the Adviser adjusts for material changes in the underlying fundamentals of the issuer, including changes in leverage, as necessary. If the investment does not have adequate coverage, a tranched valuation approach is considered.

Derivative Instruments: Derivative instruments can be exchange-traded or privately negotiated over the-counter (“OTC”) and include forward currency contracts and swap contracts. Forwards currency contracts and swap contracts are valued by the Adviser using observable inputs, such as market-based quotations received from the counterparty, dealers or brokers, whenever available and considered reliable. In instances where models are used, the value of an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in the contract, as well as the availability and reliability of observable inputs. Such inputs include market prices for reference securities, yield curves, volatility assumptions and correlations of such inputs. Certain OTC derivatives can generally be corroborated by market data and are therefore classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether or not they are deemed to be actively traded.

Further inputs considered by the Adviser in estimating the value of investments may include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets (by the investment or other comparable investments), whether the loan contains call protection and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Adviser in the absence of market information. The fair value measurement of Level 3 investments does not include transaction costs that may have been capitalized as part of the security’s cost basis. Assumptions used by the Adviser due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Company’s Consolidated Results of Operations.

Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The rule permits boards, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions, to designate certain parties to perform the fair value determinations. In accordance with this rule, the Company’s Board of Trustees has designated our Adviser as the valuation designee primarily responsible for the valuation of the Company’s investments, subject to the oversight of the Board of Trustees.

(1)As of March 31, 2025, included within the fair value of Level 3 assets of $16,587,347 is an amount of $3,191,425 for which the Adviser did not develop the unobservable inputs (examples include third-party pricing and transaction prices). As of December 31, 2024, included within the fair value of Level 3 assets of $14,546,560 is an amount of $5,260,255 for which the Adviser did not develop the unobservable inputs (examples include third-party pricing and transaction prices).

(2)Weighted averages are calculated based on fair value of investments.

The significant unobservable input used in the yield analysis is the discount rate based on comparable market yields. The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach are the discount rate used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment. Significant increases in discount rates would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. The significant unobservable input used in the recovery analysis is the recovery rate. The recovery rate represents the extent to which proceeds can be recovered and an increase or decrease in the recovery rate would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s debt obligations as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Level 1	$	—	$	—
Level 2	2,213,632		972,860
Level 3	6,810,208		6,595,337
Total	$	9,023,840	$	7,568,197

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities, other than investments at fair value and debt, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Fair value is estimated by discounting remaining payments using applicable current market rates, which take into account changes in the Company’s marketplace credit ratings, if applicable, or market quotes, if available.

Note 6. Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. The Company enters into swap contracts in the normal course of business to manage its interest rate risk exposure. For derivative contracts, the Company enters into netting arrangements with its counterparties. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company offsets fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments with the same security type and counterparty under a master netting arrangement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the average notional exposure for foreign currency forward contracts were $1,818.2 million and $670.7 million, respectively, and the average notional exposure for interest rate swaps were $2,775.0 million and $1,300.0 million, respectively.

The following tables summarize the aggregate notional amount and fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Hedging

The Company designated certain interest rate swaps as the hedging instrument in a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship.

For derivative instruments designated in qualifying hedge relationships, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and hedged item are recorded in interest expense and recognized as components of Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

76

The table below presents the carrying value of unsecured borrowings as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, that are designated in a qualifying hedging relationship and the related cumulative hedging adjustment increase (decrease) from current and prior hedging relationships included in such carrying values:

Description	Carrying Value		Cumulative Hedging Adjustments		Carrying Value		Cumulative Hedging Adjustments
Unsecured Notes	$	3,075,284	$	5,863	$	1,802,092	$	(38,729)

Note 7. Borrowings

In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limitations, the Company is allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s asset coverage was 207.3% and 216.3%, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the Credit Facilities, the Unsecured Notes and the CLO Debt, as applicable.

SPV Financing Facilities

From time to time, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company may enter into secured financing facilities (“SPV Financing Facilities”), as described below. The obligations of each special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) to the lenders are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the SPV’s portfolio investments and cash. The obligations of each SPV under the applicable SPV Financing Facility are non-recourse to the Company, and the Company’s exposure to the credit facility is limited to the value of its investment in the SPV, other than as described below with respect to the HLEND C Funding Facility (as defined below).

In connection with the SPV Financing Facilities, the applicable SPV has made certain customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar facilities. Each SPV Financing Facility contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including if a change of control of the applicable SPV occurs. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the lender under the SPV Financing Facility may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the SPV Financing Facility immediately due and payable. The occurrence of an event of default (as described above) triggers a requirement that the SPV obtains the consent of the lenders under the SPV Financing Facility prior to entering into any sale or disposition with respect to portfolio investments.

As of each of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had five SPV Financing Facilities, as discussed below.

HLEND A Funding Facility

On February 3 2022, HLEND A, entered into a SPV Financing Facility with Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (as amended, the “HLEND A Funding Facility”). Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. serves as administrative agent and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association services as collateral agent. On December 23, 2022, HLEND A entered into an amendment to, among other things, increase the aggregate commitments under the HLEND A Funding Facility from $600 million to $800 million. On October 11, 2024, and effective as of October 16, 2024, HLEND A entered into a further amendment to, among other things, decrease the applicable margin and extend the stated maturity of the HLEND A Funding Facility.

Loans under the HLEND A Funding Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the benchmark in effect for the currency of the applicable advances, then in effect, plus the applicable margin of 2.00% per annum.

Short-Term Borrowings

In order to finance certain investment transactions, the Company may, from time to time, enter into repurchase agreements, whereby the Company sells to a third party an investment that it holds and concurrently enters into an agreement to repurchase the same investment at an agreed-upon price at a future date, generally not to exceed 180-days from the date it was sold (each a “Short Term Financing Transaction”).

In accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, the Short Term Financing Transactions meet the criteria for secured borrowings. Accordingly, the investment financed by these agreements remains on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset, and the Company records a liability to reflect its repurchase obligation to a third party which is reported as debt on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The repurchase obligation is secured by the respective investment that is the subject of the repurchase agreement. Interest expense associated with the repurchase obligation is reported on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations within interest expense. As of each of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no short-term borrowings outstanding.

The Company’s outstanding debt obligations were as follows:

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide a variety of general indemnifications.

The Company’s investment portfolio may contain debt investments which are in the form of lines of credit or delayed draw commitments, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with underlying loan agreements. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had unfunded delayed draw term loans and revolvers in the aggregate principal amount of $2,370.3 million and $2,128.7 million, respectively.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which the Company will reinvest all cash distributions declared by the Company on behalf of its shareholders who do not elect to receive their distributions in cash as provided below. As a result, if the Company declares a cash distribution, then shareholders who have not opted out of our distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions (net of applicable withholding taxes) automatically reinvested in additional shares as described below, rather than receiving the cash distribution. Distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places.

94

Character of Distributions

The Company may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any source of funds available to the Company, including but not limited to offering proceeds, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, borrowings, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense support from the Adviser, which is subject to recoupment.

Through March 31, 2025, a portion of the Company’s distributions resulted from expense support from the Adviser, and future distributions may result from expense support from the Adviser, each of which is subject to repayment by the Company within three years from the date of payment. The purpose of this arrangement avoids distributions being characterized as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Shareholders should understand that any such distribution is not based solely on the Company’s investment performance, and can only be sustained if the Company achieves positive investment performance in future periods and/or the Adviser continues to provide expense support. Shareholders should also understand that the Company’s future repayments of expense support will reduce the distributions that they would otherwise receive. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the performance necessary to sustain these distributions, or be able to pay distributions at all.

Sources of distributions, other than net investment income and realized gains on a U.S. GAAP basis, include required adjustments to U.S. GAAP net investment income in the current period to determine taxable income available for distributions. The following table reflects the sources of cash distributions on a U.S. GAAP basis that the Company has declared on its Common Shares during the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Share Repurchase Program

The Company has commenced a share repurchase program in which the Company intends to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of the Company’s Common Shares outstanding (by number of shares) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter (the “Baseline Repurchase Amount”). The Board may amend or suspend the share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in the best interest of shareholders, such as when a repurchase offer would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on us as a whole that would outweigh the benefit of the repurchase offer. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. The Company intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares. In the event the Board determines, in any particular quarter, that the Company shall offer to repurchase less than the Baseline Repurchase Amount, or to amend the share repurchase program such that the Company will offer to repurchase less than the Baseline Repurchase Amount on a going forward basis, the Board will consider, on an at least quarterly basis, whether it is in the best interest of shareholders for the Company to resume offering to repurchase at least the Baseline Repurchase Amount.

Under the Company’s share repurchase program, to the extent the Company offers to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, the Company expects to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”). The one-year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective repurchase date. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived, at the Company’s discretion, in the case of

95

repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Company for the benefit of remaining shareholders across all shares.

The following tables summarize the share repurchases completed during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Repurchase Deadline Request	Percentage of Outstanding Shares the Company Offered to Repurchase(1)		Repurchase Pricing Date	Amount Repurchased (all classes)(2)		Number of Shares Repurchased (all classes)	Percentage of Outstanding Shares Repurchased(1)

(1) Total amount of each class of senior securities outstanding at the end of the period presented.

(2) Asset coverage per unit is the ratio of the carrying value of our total assets, less all liabilities excluding indebtedness represented by senior securities in this table, to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness. Asset coverage per unit is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per $1,000 of indebtedness and is calculated on a consolidated basis.

(3) The amount to which such class of senior security would be entitled upon our involuntary liquidation in preference to any security junior to it. The "—" in this column indicates information that the SEC expressly does not require to be disclosed for certain types of senior securities.

(4) Not applicable because the senior securities are not registered for public trading.

Note 11. Joint Venture

On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into a limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) with the Capital One Member (“COM”) to establish a joint venture to make certain unitranche loans to U.S. middle-market companies. The joint venture is called ULTRA III, LLC (“ULTRA III”). The Company and COM will provide capital to ULTRA III in the form of membership interests. The initial maximum investment amounts in ULTRA III for the Company and COM are approximately $200.0 million and $28.6 million, respectively, which correspond to initial membership interests of approximately 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively. The LLC Agreement is effective as of June 1, 2023.

On February 1, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the LLC Agreement with COM to increase the maximum investment amounts for the Company and COM in ULTRA III to $400.0 million and $57.1 million, respectively. The LLC Agreement was subsequently amended on October 9, 2024, which further increased the maximum investment amounts for the Company and COM in ULTRA III to $550.0 million and $78.6 million, respectively. The increased investment amounts for the Company and COM correspond to membership interests of 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively.

The Company and COM may, from time-to-time, make additional contributions of capital or may receive returns of capital from ULTRA III. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had made capital contributions (net of returns of capital) of $307.4 million and $307.4 million, respectively, and COM had made capital contributions (net of returns of capital) of $43.9 million and $43.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $236.2 million and $236.2 million, respectively, of capital remained uncalled from the Company and $33.7 million and $33.7 million, respectively, of capital remained uncalled from COM. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company and COM’s membership interests are 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, for both periods.

All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of ULTRA III must be approved by a credit committee of ULTRA III consisting of representatives of the Company and COM (generally with approval from a representative of each required). A Capital One entity is providing a senior revolving financing facility to ULTRA III. COM receives sourcing fees in connection with investments made by ULTRA III that are sourced by COM. When COM sources investments for ULTRA III, the percentage of sourcing fees that are paid to COM is substantially greater than its percentage membership interest in ULTRA III (the “Effective Sourcing Fee”). In this regard, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company, through its investment in ULTRA III, paid an Effective Sourcing Fee to COM of $0.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

The Company has determined that ULTRA III is an investment company under ASC 946, and in accordance with ASC 946, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly-owned investment company subsidiary. The Company and COM have equal voting rights with respect to the joint venture. The Company will not consolidate the assets and liabilities of the ULTRA III joint venture.

99

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements.” This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which relate to future events, our future performance or financial condition and involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in any forward-looking statements. Dollar amounts are in thousands, except per share data, percentages and as otherwise noted.

Overview and Investment Framework

We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. Formed as a Delaware statutory trust on December 23, 2020 that commenced operations on February 3, 2022, we are externally managed by the Adviser, which is responsible for sourcing potential investments, conducting due diligence on prospective investments, analyzing investment opportunities, structuring investments and monitoring our portfolio on an ongoing basis. Our Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HPS. We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under the Code.

Under our Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay the Adviser an annual management fee as well as an incentive fee based on our investment performance. Also, under the Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse the Administrator for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including, but not limited to, our allocable portion of the costs of compensation (including salaries, bonuses and benefits) and related expenses of our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs; provided, that such expenses shall exclude (1) rent or depreciation, utilities, capital equipment and other administrative items of the Administrator, and (2) salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses and other administrative items incurred or allocated to any “Controlling Person” (as defined in the Omnibus Guidelines) of the Administrator.

Our investment objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns, predominately in the form of current income, with select investments exhibiting the ability to capture long-term capital appreciation. Our investment strategy focuses primarily on newly originated, privately negotiated senior credit investments in high-quality, established upper middle market companies and, in select situations, companies in special situations. We use the term upper middle market companies generally to mean companies with “EBITDA” of $75 million to $1 billion annually or $250 million to $5 billion in revenue annually at the time of investment. We have and may continue to invest in smaller or larger companies if an opportunity presents attractive investment characteristics and risk-adjusted returns. While our investment strategy primarily focuses on companies in the United States, we also intend to leverage HPS’s global presence to invest in companies in Europe, Australia and other locations outside the U.S., subject to compliance with BDC requirements to invest at least 70% of assets in “eligible portfolio companies.” We also include a smaller allocation to more liquid credit investments such as non-investment grade broadly syndicated loans, leveraged loans, secured and unsecured corporate bonds, and securitized credit. We intend to use these investments to maintain liquidity for our share repurchase program and to manage cash while seeking attractive returns before investing subscription proceeds into originated loans. We invest at least 80% of our total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in credit and credit-related instruments issued by corporate issuers (including loans, notes, bonds and other corporate debt securities). If we change our 80% test, we will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of such change. Although not expected to be a primary component of our investment strategy, in select situations, we may also make certain opportunistic investments in instruments other than secured debt with a view to enhancing returns, such as mezzanine debt, payment-in-kind notes, convertible debt and other unsecured debt instruments, structured debt that is not secured by financial or other assets, debtor-in-possession financings and equity in loan portfolios or portfolios of receivables (“Opportunistic Investments”), in each case taking into account availability of leverage for such investments and our target risk/return profile. In addition, we may also participate in programmatic investments through partnerships or joint ventures with one or more unaffiliated banks or other financial institutions, including structures where a partner assumes senior exposure to each investment, and we participate in the junior exposure.

Subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act, we may invest in loans or other securities, the proceeds of which may refinance or otherwise repay debt or securities of companies whose debt is owned by other funds and accounts sponsored or managed by the Adviser or HPS. We expect to invest in co-investment transactions with other funds and accounts sponsored or managed by the Adviser or HPS.

To seek to enhance our returns, we employ leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of the Adviser, but we are subject to the limitations set forth in the 1940 Act, which currently allows us to borrow up to a 2:1 debt to equity ratio. We intend to use leverage in the form of borrowings, including loans from certain financial institutions and the issuance of debt securities. We may also use leverage in the form of the issuance of preferred shares, but do not currently intend to do so. In determining whether to borrow money, we analyze the maturity, covenant package and rate structure of the proposed borrowings as well as the risks of such borrowings compared to our investment outlook. Any such leverage, if incurred, would be expected to increase our total capital available for investment.

104

To finance investments, we have in the past and may in the future securitize certain of our secured loans or other investments, including through the formation of one or more CLOs, while retaining all or most of the subordinated notes issued in the securitization.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

Investments

We focus primarily on senior secured loans and securities of private U.S. companies. Our level of investment activity (both the number of investments and the size of each investment) can and will vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to private companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.

Revenues

We generate revenues in the form of interest and fee income on debt investments, capital gains, and dividend income from our equity investments in our portfolio companies. Our senior and subordinated debt investments are expected to bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable monthly or quarterly. In some cases, some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid PIK interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue from various fees in the ordinary course of business such as in the form of structuring, consent, waiver, amendment, syndication and other miscellaneous fees. Original issue discounts and market discounts or premiums will be capitalized, and we will accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We will record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income. Dividend income, if any, will be recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.

Expenses

Except as specifically provided below, all investment professionals and staff of the Adviser, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory services to us, and the base compensation, bonus and benefits, and the routine overhead expenses, of such personnel allocable to such services, will be provided and paid for by the Adviser. We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations, administration and transactions, including, but not limited to:

•investment advisory fees, including management fees and incentive fees, to the Adviser, pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement;

•our allocable portion of compensation (including salaries, bonuses, and benefits), overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, including but not limited to: (i) our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs; (ii) investor relations, legal, operations and other non-investment professionals at the Administrator that performs duties for us; and (iii) any internal audit group personnel of HPS or any of its affiliates; provided, that such expenses shall exclude (1) rent or depreciation, utilities, capital equipment and other administrative items of the Administrator, and (2) salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses and other administrative items incurred or allocated to any “Controlling Person” (as defined in the Omnibus Guidelines) of the Administrator;

•all other expenses of the Company’s operations, administrations and transactions.

As our investment adviser prior to June 30, 2023, HPS agreed to advance all of our organization and offering expenses on our behalf through February 3, 2022, the date on which we broke escrow for our initial offering of Common Shares. On such date, the Company became obligated to reimburse HPS for such advanced expenses and HPS subsequently requested reimbursement of these expenses and was paid pursuant to the prior expense support agreement. After such date, we bear all such expenses, subject to the Expense Support Agreement. Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Adviser is obligated to advance all of our Other Operating Expenses to the effect that such expenses do not exceed 1.00% (on an annualized basis) of our NAV. We are obligated to reimburse the Adviser for such advanced expenses (including any additional expenses the Adviser elects to pay on our behalf), subject to certain conditions. See “—Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement.” Any reimbursements will not exceed actual expenses incurred by the Adviser and its affiliates.

From time to time, the Adviser, the Administrator or their affiliates may pay third-party providers for goods or services. We will reimburse the Adviser, the Administrator or such affiliates thereof for any such amounts paid on our behalf. From time to time, the Adviser, the Administrator may defer or waive fees and/or rights to be reimbursed for expenses. All of the foregoing expenses are ultimately borne by our shareholders.

105

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

We have entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement with the Adviser. For additional information see “Note 3. Fees, Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions” to the consolidated financial statements.

Actual yields earned over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented above.

(2)Computed as the annual stated interest rate or yield plus the annual accretion of discounts and less any annual amortization of premiums, as applicable, on all investments of the Company, divided by total investments of the Company (at fair value or amortized cost, as applicable). Actual yields earned over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented above.

(3)Calculated with respect to all level 3 investments in the investment portfolio for which fair value is determined by the Adviser (in its capacity as the investment adviser of the Company, with assistance, at least quarterly, from a third-party valuation firm, and overseen by the Company’s Board), and excludes quoted assets and investments with no reported EBITDA or where EBITDA, in the Adviser’s judgement made in its discretion, was not a material component of the original investment thesis, such as LTV-based loans, NAV-based loans or reorganized equity. Weighted average EBITDA is weighted based on the fair value of the total applicable level 3 investments. Excludes investments on non-accrual status. Figures are derived from the most recent financial statements from portfolio companies.

(4)Calculated with respect to all level 3 debt investments in the investment portfolio for which fair value is determined by the Adviser (in its capacity as the investment adviser of the Company, with assistance, at least quarterly, from a third-party valuation firm, and overseen by the Company’s Board), and excludes quoted assets. LTV is calculated as net debt through each respective investment tranche in which the Company holds an investment divided by enterprise value or value of underlying collateral of the portfolio company. Weighted average LTV is weighted based on the fair value of the total applicable level 3 debt investments. Excludes investments on non-accrual status. Figures are derived from the most recent financial statements from portfolio companies.

Our Adviser monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company on an ongoing basis to determine if it is meeting its respective business plan and to assess the appropriate course of action for each company. Our Adviser has several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include, but are not limited to, the following:

•assessment of success in adhering to the portfolio company’s business plan and compliance with covenants;

•periodic or regular contact with portfolio company management and, if appropriate, the financial or strategic sponsor to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;

•comparisons to our other portfolio companies in the industry, if any;

•attendance at and participation in board meetings or presentations by portfolio companies; and

•review of monthly and quarterly financial statements and financial projections of portfolio companies.

ULTRA III, LLC

On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into a limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) with the Capital One Member (“COM”) to establish a joint venture to make certain unitranche loans to U.S. middle-market companies. The joint venture is called ULTRA III, LLC (“ULTRA III”).

As of March 31, 2025, the Company and COM have committed to contribute up to $550.0 million and $78.6 million, respectively, of capital to ULTRA III. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had contributed (net of returns of capital) $307.4 million and COM had contributed (net of returns of capital) $43.9 million of capital and $236.2 million and $33.7 million of capital remained uncalled from the Company and COM, respectively. The Company and COM own 87.5% and 12.5%, respectively, of the membership interests of ULTRA III. All portfolio decisions and generally all other decisions in respect of ULTRA III must be approved by a credit committee of ULTRA III consisting of representatives of the Company and COM (generally with approval from a representative of each required). The Company and COM have equal voting rights with respect to the joint venture. The Company does not consolidate the ULTRA III joint venture.

109

The following table is a summary of ULTRA III’s portfolio as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024

Actual yields earned over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented above.

(2)As a percentage of fair value of investments of ULTRA III. ULTRA III had no assets on non-accrual as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Results of Operations

The following table represents our operating results:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Total investment income	$	444,134	$	313,502
Total expenses	209,153		145,505
Net investment income before excise tax	234,981		167,997
Excise tax expense	293		(15)
Net investment income after excise tax	234,688		168,012
Net realized gain (loss)	(56,060)		(6,273)
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	7,754		53,911
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations	$	186,382	$	215,650

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations can vary from period to period as a result of various factors, including acquisitions, the level of new investment commitments, the recognition of realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the investment portfolio. As a result, comparisons may not be meaningful.

Investment Income

Investment income was as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Interest income	$	408,320	$	291,764
Payment-in-kind interest income	24,099		18,030
Dividend Income	11,658		2,614
Other income	57		1,094
Total investment income	$	444,134	$	313,502

Total investment income increased to $444.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $313.5 million for the same period in the prior year primarily driven by our deployment of capital, the increased balance of our investments and by increased dividend income. Interest income increased as a result of an increase in our accruing debt investment’s funded par, which increased to $18,102.6

110

million as of March 31, 2025, from $9,799.2 million in the prior year. This was partially offset by a decline in benchmark interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in dividend income is primarily from ULTRA III, which was $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $1.8 million for the same period in the prior year. At March 31, 2025, the size of our investment portfolio at fair value was $18,430.6 million and our weighted average yield on debt and income producing securities at fair value was 10.1%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, PIK income represented 5.7% and 6.0% of total investment income, respectively. We expect that PIK income will vary based on the elections of certain borrowers.

Expenses

Expenses were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Interest expense	$	137,906	$	86,093
Management fees	29,146		18,339

Amortization of continuous offering costs	532		453
Excise tax expense	293		(15)
Total expenses (including excise tax expense)	$	209,446	$	145,490

Interest Expense

Total interest expense (including unused fees, amortization of deferred financing costs, debt issuance costs and original issue discounts) increased to $137.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $86.1 million for the same period in the prior year primarily driven by increased borrowings under the Credit Facilities, Unsecured Notes, and debt securitization issuances. The average principal debt outstanding increased to $7,896.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $3,870.4 million for the same period in the prior year. This was partially offset by a decrease in our weighted average interest rate (including unused fees, amortization of deferred financing costs, debt issuance costs and original issue discounts) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 7.08% from 8.95% for the same period in the prior year.

Management Fees

Management fees increased to $29.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $18.3 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in net assets. Management fees are payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the value of our net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month.

Income Based Incentive Fee

Income based incentive fees increased to $33.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $25.6 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to our deployment of capital and an increase in Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns.

111

Capital Gains Incentive Fees

U.S. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. This GAAP accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation, net of any expense associated with cumulative unrealized capital depreciation or appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires us to record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 12.5% of such cumulative amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains incentive fees paid or capital gains incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods.

Capital gains based incentive fees was $(6.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $6.0 million for the same period in the prior year due to net realized and unrealized losses incurred in the period, compared to net unrealized gains earned in the prior period. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under U.S. GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual.

Other Expenses

Organization costs and offering costs include expenses incurred in our initial formation and our continuous offering. Professional fees include legal, audit, tax, valuation, and other professional fees incurred related to the management of the Company. Administrative service expenses represent fees paid to the Administrator for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers, their respective staff and other non-investment professionals that perform duties for us. Other general and administrative expenses include insurance, filing, research, our sub-administrator, subscriptions and other costs.

Total other expenses increased to $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $4.6 million for the same period in the prior year primarily driven by an increase of professional fees, administrative service expenses and other general & administrative expenses due to servicing a growing portfolio.

Under the terms of the Administration Agreement and Investment Advisory Agreement, we reimburse the Administrator and Adviser, respectively, for services performed for us. In addition, pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the Administrator and Adviser may delegate its obligations under these agreements to an affiliate or to a third party and we reimburse the Administrator and Adviser for any services performed for us by such affiliate or third party. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Administrator charged $1.5 million, an increase from $0.8 million for the same period in the prior year, for certain costs and expenses allocable to the Company under the terms of the Administration Agreement.

Shareholder servicing and/or distributions fees increased to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $5.0 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in shares outstanding.

We entered into an Expense Support Agreement with the Adviser. For additional information see “Note 3. Fees, Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions” to the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes, Including Excise Taxes

We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, and we intend to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify each taxable year for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute to our shareholders in each taxable year generally at least 90% of the sum of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), and net tax-exempt income (if any) for that taxable year. To maintain our tax treatment as a RIC, we, among other things, intend to make the requisite distributions to our shareholders, which generally relieve us from corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes.

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may carry forward taxable income (including net capital gains, if any) in excess of current year distributions from the current tax year into the next tax year and pay a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such taxable income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions from such income, we will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred U.S. federal excise tax of $0.3 million and $(0.0) million, respectively.

112

Net Realized Gain (Loss)

Net realized gains and losses were comprised of the following:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Non-controlled/non-affiliated investments	$	(19,886)	$	(9,949)
Foreign currency forward contracts	(34,279)		167
Foreign currency transactions	(1,895)		3,509
Net realized gain (loss)	$	(56,060)	$	(6,273)

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated net realized gains (losses) on investments of $(19.9) million, primarily driven by realized losses of $(18.2) million on the restructuring of two private debt investments (realized losses on ERC Topco Holdings, LLC of $(13.3) million and Galaxy US Opco Inc. of $(4.9) million) and net realized losses of $(2.5) million from the sale of syndicated loans, which were offset by realized gains of $0.8 million, primarily driven by the exit of an equity investment. We generated realized losses of $(34.3) million on foreign currency forwards contracts, primarily as a result of fluctuations in the EUR and GBP exchange rates, which was largely offset by unrealized gains on foreign currency as described below.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we generated net realized gains (losses) of $(6.3) million, driven by net realized losses on sales of debt investments, primarily syndicated loans and bonds, of $(2.4) million and foreign currency realized losses of $(7.5) million on investments (included in realized losses on non-controlled/non-affiliated investments) primarily due to an AUD portfolio company repayment. Realized losses were partially offset by $3.5 million gains in foreign currency transactions, as a result of repayments of foreign borrowings and conversions of foreign cash balances, primarily attributable to fluctuations in the AUD and EUR exchange rates.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was comprised of the following:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Non-controlled/non-affiliated investments	$	67,250	$	19,345
Non-controlled/affiliated investments	(66)		(46)
Controlled/affiliated investments	2,274		6,688
Foreign currency forward contracts	(24,102)		12,494
Translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies	(37,602)		15,430
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$	7,754	$	53,911

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment portfolio was $(27.1) million (excluding the impact of foreign currency) due to spread widening in the public credit markets and certain credit specific write-downs in the private portfolio, which was offset by foreign currency unrealized gains of $96.6 million on investments (included in unrealized gains on non-controlled/non-affiliated investments) primarily as a result of fluctuations in the EUR and GBP exchange rates. The remaining $(61.7) million of the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) represents the net unrealized losses as a result of foreign currency fluctuations impacting the value of our foreign currency forward contracts, foreign debt and cash balances.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on foreign currency fluctuations impacting the value of the investment portfolio, foreign currency forward contracts, foreign debt and cash balances was $(1.2) million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the fair value of our debt investments increased due to spread tightening in both the public and private credit markets. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we generated foreign currency unrealized losses of $(21.1) million on investments (included in unrealized gains on non-controlled/non-affiliated investments) primarily as a result of fluctuations in the AUD, GBP and EUR exchange rates.

113

Interest Rate Swaps

We use interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk associated with our fixed rate liabilities. We have designated certain interest rate swaps to be in a hedge accounting relationship. See “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies” for additional disclosure regarding our accounting for derivative instruments designated in a hedge accounting relationship. See our schedule of investments for additional disclosure regarding these derivative instruments. See “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7. Borrowings” for additional disclosure regarding the carrying value of our debt.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of our continuous offering of Common Shares, proceeds from net borrowings on our credit facilities, unsecured debt issuances, debt securitization issuances, income earned and repayments on principal on our debt investments. The primary uses of our cash and cash equivalents are for (i) originating and purchasing debt investments, (ii) funding the costs of our operations (including fees paid to our Adviser and expense reimbursements paid to our Administrator), (iii) debt service, repayment and other financing costs of our borrowings, (iv) funding repurchases under our share repurchase program and (v) cash distributions to our shareholders.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had several asset-based leverage facilities, a corporate-level revolving credit facility, unsecured note issuances and debt securitization issuances. From time to time, we may enter into additional credit facilities, increase the size of our existing credit facilities and/or issue debt securities, including additional unsecured notes and debt securitizations. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to incur borrowings, issue debt securities or issue preferred stock, if immediately after the borrowing or issuance, the ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness plus preferred stock, is at least 150%. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had an aggregate amount of $8,985.1 million and $7,508.7 million, respectively, of principal debt outstanding and our asset coverage ratio was 207.3% and 216.3%, respectively. We seek to carefully consider our unfunded commitments for the purpose of planning our ongoing financial leverage.

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025, taken together with our $2,262.9 million of available capacity under our credit facilities (subject to borrowing base availability) and the continuous offering of our Common Shares is expected to be sufficient for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the near term. This determination is based in part on our expectations for the timing of funding investment purchases and the timing and amount of future proceeds from sales of our Common Shares and the use of existing and future financing arrangements. As of March 31, 2025, we had significant amounts payable and commitments for existing and new investments, which we planned to fund using proceeds from offering our Common Shares and available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities. Additionally, we held $1,520.6 million of syndicated loans and other liquid investments as of March 31, 2025, which could provide additional liquidity if necessary.

Although we have historically been able to obtain sufficient borrowing capacity, any disruption in the financial markets or any other negative economic development could restrict our access to financing in the future. We may not be able to find new financing for future investments or liquidity needs and, even if we are able to obtain such financing, such financing may not be on as favorable terms as we could have obtained in the past. These factors may limit our ability to make new investments and adversely impact our results of operations.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $434.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $2,027.5 million, primarily as a result of funding portfolio investments of $2,502.6 million and partially offset by proceeds from sale of investments and principal repayments of $296.4 million and other operating uses of $178.7 million. Cash provided by financing activities was $2,232.9 million during the period, primarily as a result of new share issuances related to $1,067.4 million of subscriptions and net borrowings (repayments) of $1,438.2 million.

(1)Distributions per share are net of shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees

With respect to distributions, we have adopted an “opt out” distribution reinvestment plan for shareholders. As a result, in the event of a declared cash distribution or other distribution, each shareholder, other than a shareholder that has “opted out” of the distribution reinvestment plan or who is located in a state that does not permit automatic enrollment in the distribution reinvestment plan, will have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares rather than receiving cash distributions. Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of shares will be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.

Sources of distributions, other than net investment income and realized gains on a U.S. GAAP basis, include required adjustments to U.S. GAAP net investment income in the current period to determine taxable income available for distributions. The following table reflects the sources of cash distributions on a U.S. GAAP basis that we declared on our Common Shares during the three months ended March 31, 2025:

	Class I				Class D				Class F				Class S
Source of Distribution	Per Share		Amount		Per Share		Amount		Per Share		Amount		Per Share		Amount
Net investment income	$	0.6450	$	80,646	$	0.6293	$	27,326	$	0.6135	$	112,232	$	0.5914	$	10,968

Share Repurchase Program

At the discretion of the Board, we have commenced a share repurchase program in which we may repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of the NAV of our Common Shares outstanding (by number of shares) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter (the “Baseline Repurchase Amount”). The Board may amend or suspend the share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in the best interest of shareholders, such as when a repurchase offer would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on us as a whole that would outweigh the benefit of the repurchase offer. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. We intend to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares. In the event the Board determines, in any particular quarter, that the Company shall offer to repurchase less than the Baseline Repurchase Amount, or to amend the share repurchase program such that the Company will offer to repurchase less than the Baseline Repurchase Amount on a going forward basis, the Board will consider, on an at least quarterly basis, whether it is in the best interest of shareholders for the Company to resume offering to repurchase at least the Baseline Repurchase Amount.

Under the share repurchase program, to the extent we offer to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, it is expected to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”). The one-year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective repurchase date. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived, at our discretion, in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by us for the benefit of remaining shareholders.

The following tables summarize the share repurchases completed during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Repurchase Deadline Request	Percentage of Outstanding Shares the Company Offered to Repurchase(1)		Repurchase Pricing Date	Amount Repurchased (all classes)(2)		Number of Shares Repurchased (all classes)	Percentage of Outstanding Shares Repurchased(1)
March 4, 2025	5.00	%	March 31, 2025	$	210,490	8,264,218	2.42	%

Repurchase Deadline Request	Percentage of Outstanding Shares the Company Offered to Repurchase(1)		Repurchase Pricing Date	Amount Repurchased (all classes)(2)		Number of Shares Repurchased (all classes)	Percentage of Outstanding Shares Repurchased(1)

Portfolio Company Commitments

Our investment portfolio contains and is expected to continue to contain debt investments which are in the form of lines of credit or delayed draw commitments, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with underlying loan agreements. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had unfunded delayed draw term loans and revolvers with an aggregate principal amount of $2,370.3 million and $2,128.7 million, respectively.

122

Other Commitments and Contingencies

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $236.2 million and $236.2 million, respectively, of capital committed remained uncalled from the Company in relation to capital commitments to ULTRA III. Such amount is subject to the approval of each joint venture member.

From time to time, we may become a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of its business. As of March 31, 2025, management is not aware of any material pending or threatened litigation.

Related-Party Transactions

We entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:

•the Investment Advisory Agreement;

•the Administration Agreement;

•the Expense Support Agreement; and

•the Managing Dealer Agreement

In addition to the aforementioned agreements, we, our Adviser and certain of our Adviser’s affiliates have been granted exemptive relief by the SEC to co-invest with other funds and accounts sponsored or managed by our Adviser or its affiliates in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. For additional information, see “Note 3. Fees. Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions” to the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Developments

See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 12. Subsequent Events” for a summary of recent developments.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ.

Investments and Fair Value Measurements

The Company is required to report its investments for which current market values are not readily available at fair value. The Company values its investments in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices derived from such prices over entity-specific inputs. Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a ready market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material.

Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and are freely transferable are valued at either the closing price (in the case of securities and futures) or the mean of the closing bid and offer (in the case of options) on the principal exchange on which the investment is listed or traded. Investments for which other market quotations are readily available will typically be valued at those market quotations. To validate market quotations, the Company utilizes a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations. Where it is possible to obtain reliable, independent market quotations from a third party vendor, the Company uses these quotations to determine the value of its investments. The Company utilizes mid-market pricing (i.e., mid-point of average bid and ask prices) to value these investments. The Adviser obtains these market quotations from independent pricing services, if available; otherwise from one or more broker quotes. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, the Adviser regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to independent pricing services or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the valuation procedures. The Adviser does not adjust the prices unless it has a reason to believe market quotations are not reflective of the fair value of an investment.

123

Where prices or inputs are not available or, in the judgment of the Adviser, not reliable, valuation approaches based on the facts and circumstances of the particular investment will be utilized. Securities that are not publicly traded or for which market prices are not readily available, as will be the case for a substantial portion of the Company’s investments, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser as the Company’s valuation designee under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy, and under the oversight of the Board, based on, among other things, the input of one or more independent valuation firms retained by the Company to review the Company’s investments. These valuation approaches involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments’ complexity.

With respect to the quarterly valuation of investments, the Company undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of our investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available as of the last calendar day of each quarter, which includes, among other procedures, the following:

•The valuation process begins with each investment being preliminarily valued by the Adviser’s valuation team in consultation with the Adviser’s investment professionals responsible for each portfolio investment;

•In addition, independent valuation firms retained by the Company prepare quarter-end valuations of each such investment that was (i) originated or purchased prior to the first calendar day of the quarter and (ii) is not a de minimis investment, as determined by the Adviser. The independent valuation firms provide a final range of values on such investments to the Adviser. The independent valuation firms also provide analyses to support their valuation methodology and calculations;

•The Adviser’s valuation committee with respect to the Company (the “Valuation Committee”) reviews the valuation recommendations prepared by the Adviser’s valuation team and, as appropriate, the independent valuation firms’ valuation ranges;

•The Adviser’s Valuation Committee then determines fair value marks for each of the Company’s portfolio investments; and

•The Board and Audit Committee periodically review the valuation process and provide oversight in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act.

As part of the valuation process, the Company takes into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of our investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, many of which are loans, including and in combination, as relevant, of: (i) the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company, generally based on an analysis of discounted cash flows, publicly traded comparable companies and comparable transactions, (ii) the nature and realizable value of any collateral, (iii) the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and cash flow, (iv) the markets in which the portfolio company does business, and (v) overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity or debt sale occurs, the Adviser considers whether the pricing indicated by the external event corroborates its valuation.

The Company has and will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment each quarter, and the Company and the Adviser may reasonably rely on that assistance. However, the Adviser is responsible for the ultimate valuation of the portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy, the Board’s oversight and a consistently applied valuation process.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date.

The Company’s accounting policy on the fair value of our investments is critical because the determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of these valuations, and any change in these valuations, on the consolidated financial statements.

See “Note 5. Fair Value Measurements” to the consolidated financial statements for more information on the fair value of the Company’s investments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including valuation risk and interest rate risk.

Valuation Risk

We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities of private companies. Most of our investments will not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser as the Company’s valuation designee under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, based on, among other things, the input of independent

124

third-party valuation firms retained by the Company, and in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. We intend to fund portions of our investments with borrowings, and at such time, our net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. Accordingly, we cannot assure shareholders that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

As of March 31, 2025, 99.4% of our performing debt investments at fair value were at floating rates. Additionally, we entered into interest rate swaps with certain of our Unsecured Notes in order to align the interest rates of our liabilities with our investment portfolio. Based on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of March 31, 2025, the following table shows the annualized impact on net income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates (considering base rate floors and ceilings for floating rate instruments) and assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:

	Interest Income		Interest Expense		Net Income
Up 300 basis points	$	539,744	$	(264,677)	$	275,067
Up 200 basis points	$	359,829	$	(176,451)	$	183,378
Up 100 basis points	$	179,915	$	(88,226)	$	91,689
Down 100 basis points	$	(179,915)	$	88,226	$	(91,689)
Down 200 basis points	$	(358,837)	$	176,451	$	(182,386)
Down 300 basis points	$	(535,307)	$	264,677	$	(270,630)

We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using hedging instruments such as additional interest rate swaps, futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of changes in interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

125

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in “Item 1A Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as well as the risk factors set forth in “Risk Factors” of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to our registration statement on Form N-2 filed on April 24, 2025, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the risk factors set forth in “Risk Factors” of the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to our registration statement on Form N-2 filed on April 24, 2025.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Except as described and as previously reported by the Company on its current reports on Form 8-K, we did not sell any securities during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that were not registered under the Securities Act.

Share Repurchases

We have commenced a share repurchase program in which we intend to offer to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of our Common Shares outstanding (by number of shares) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter (the “Baseline Repurchase Amount”). Our Board of Trustees may amend or suspend the share repurchase program at any time if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our shareholders, such as when a repurchase offer would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company as a whole, or should we otherwise determine that investing our liquid assets in originated loans or other illiquid investments rather than repurchasing our shares is in the best interests of the Company as a whole. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. We intend to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased by us pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares. In the event the Board determines, in any particular quarter, that the Company shall offer to repurchase less than the Baseline Repurchase Amount, or to amend the share repurchase program such that the Company will offer to repurchase less than the Baseline Repurchase Amount on a going forward basis, the Board will consider, on an at least quarterly basis, whether it is in the best interest of shareholders for the Company to resume offering to repurchase at least the Baseline Repurchase Amount.

Under our share repurchase program, to the extent we offer to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, we expect to repurchase shares pursuant to quarterly tender offers using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV.

The following table sets forth information regarding repurchases of our common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

Offer Date	Repurchase Deadline Request	Purchase Price per Share		Number of Shares Repurchased (all classes)	Amount Repurchased (all classes)
February 3, 2025	March 4, 2025	$	25.47	8,264,218	2.42	%

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

126

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, none of our directors or executive officers adopted, modified or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.”
