Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block]

Our investment objective is to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. We invest primarily in first lien senior secured loans (including “unitranche” loans, which are loans that combine both senior and subordinated debt, generally in a first lien position) and second lien senior secured loans. In addition to senior secured loans, we also invest in subordinated loans (sometimes referred to as mezzanine debt) and preferred equity.

To a lesser extent, we also make common equity investments, which have generally been non-control equity investments of less than $20 million (usually in conjunction with a concurrent debt investment). However, we may increase the size or change the nature of these investments.

The Revolving Credit Facility also provides for a feature that allows us, under certain circumstances, to increase the overall size of the Revolving Credit Facility to a maximum of $6.7 billion.

As of September 30, 2024, the applicable spread in effect was 1.75%. We are also required to pay a letter of credit fee of either 2.00% or 2.125% per annum on letters of credit issued, determined monthly based on the total amount of the borrowing base relative to the total commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility and other debt, if any, secured by the same collateral as the Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, we are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum on any unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility.

In May 2024, we, through our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, Ares Direct Lending CLO 1 LLC (“ARCC CLO I”), completed a $702 million term debt securitization (the “2024 Debt Securitization”).

The interest rate charged on the CLO Secured Notes is based on SOFR plus a blended weighted average spread of 1.86%. The CLO Subordinated Notes, which were retained by us, are the unsecured obligations of ARCC CLO I.

Our investment adviser serves as asset manager to ARCC CLO I under an asset management agreement and is entitled to receive certain management fees for providing these services under the agreement. Our investment adviser has waived its right to receive such fees but may rescind such waiver with respect to the CLO Secured Notes at any time.

In March 2024, we repaid in full the $403 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible notes which bore interest at a rate of 4.625% per year, payable semi-annually (the “2024 Convertible Notes”) upon their maturity, resulting in a realized loss on extinguishment of debt of $14 million. In accordance with the indenture governing the 2024 Convertible Notes, we settled the repayment of the 2024 Convertible Notes with a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Approximately $393 million of aggregate principal amount was settled with approximately 20 million shares of our common stock and the remaining $10 million was settled with available cash.

Unsecured Notes

We issued certain unsecured notes (each issuance of which is referred to herein using the “defined term” set forth under the “Unsecured Notes” column of the table below and collectively referred to as the “Unsecured Notes”), that pay interest semi-annually and all principal amounts are due upon maturity. Each of the Unsecured Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at our option at a redemption price equal to par plus a “make whole” premium, if applicable, as determined pursuant to the indentures governing each of the Unsecured Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Certain key terms related to the features for the Unsecured Notes as of September 30, 2024 are listed below.

________________________________________

(1)The effective stated interest rates of the January 2027 Notes, the March 2029 Notes and the July 2029 Notes include the impact of interest rate swaps.

In connection with certain of the unsecured notes issued by us, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements to more closely align the interest rates of such liabilities with our investment portfolio, which consists primarily of floating rate loans. We designated these interest rate swaps and the associated unsecured notes as qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationships. Certain information related to our interest rate swap instruments as of September 30, 2024 is presented below.

See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 for more information on our debt obligations.

As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance in all material respects with the indentures governing the Unsecured Notes.

The Unsecured Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Unsecured Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not expressly subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

We issued certain unsecured notes (each issuance of which is referred to herein using the “defined term” set forth under the “Unsecured Notes” column of the table below and collectively referred to as the “Unsecured Notes”), that pay interest semi-annually and all principal amounts are due upon maturity. Each of the Unsecured Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at our option at a redemption price equal to par plus a “make whole” premium, if applicable, as determined pursuant to the indentures governing each of the Unsecured Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

(1)The effective stated interest rates of the January 2027 Notes, the March 2029 Notes and the July 2029 Notes include the impact of interest rate swaps.

In June 2024, we repaid in full the $900 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of unsecured notes (the “June 2024 Notes”) upon their maturity. The June 2024 Notes bore interest at a rate of 4.200% per annum, payable semi-annually.

In connection with certain of the unsecured notes issued by us, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements to more closely align the interest rates of such liabilities with our investment portfolio, which consists primarily of floating rate loans. We designated these interest rate swaps and the associated unsecured notes as qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationships. Certain information related to our interest rate swap instruments as of September 30, 2024 is presented below.


(dollar amounts in millions) Description	Hedged Item	Company Receives		Company Pays	Maturity Date	Notional Amount
Interest rate swap	January 2027 Notes	7.000	%	SOFR +2.581%	January 15, 2027	$	900

Interest rate swap	March 2029 Notes	5.875	%	SOFR +2.023%	March 1, 2029	$	1,000
Interest rate swap	July 2029 Notes	5.950	%	SOFR +1.643%	July 15, 2029	$	850

See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 for more information on our debt obligations.

As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance in all material respects with the indentures governing the Unsecured Notes.

The Unsecured Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Unsecured Notes; equal in right of payment to our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not expressly subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by our subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.
