NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

 

Blackstone Long-Short Credit Income Fund (“BGX”, the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company. BGX was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 22, 2010. BGX was registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) on October 26, 2010. BGX commenced operations on January 27, 2011. Prior to that, BGX had no operations other than matters relating to its organization and the sale and issuance of 5,236 common shares of beneficial interest in BGX to Blackstone Liquid Credit Strategies LLC (the “Adviser”) at a price of $19.10 per share. The Adviser serves as the investment adviser for BGX. BGX’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) and trade under the ticker symbol “BGX.”

 

The Fund was previously classified as a non-diversified investment company for purposes of the 1940 Act. As a result of ongoing operations, the Fund as of April 1, 2014 is now classified as a diversified company. This means that with respect to 75% of the Fund’s total assets, no more than 5% of such Fund’s total assets may be invested in any one issuer, excepting cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, and securities of other investment companies. The Fund may not resume operating in a non-diversified manner without first obtaining shareholder approval in accordance with the 1940 Act.

 

Investment Objectives: BGX’s primary investment objective is to provide current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. BGX seeks to achieve its investment objectives by employing a dynamic long-short strategy in a diversified portfolio of loans and fixed-income instruments of predominantly U.S. corporate issuers, including first- and second-lien secured loans (“Secured Loans”) and high-yield corporate debt securities of varying maturities. BGX’s short positions, either directly or through the use of derivatives, may total up to 30% of the Fund’s net assets.

 

Senior Loans, Secured Loans and Senior Secured Loans are referred to collectively as “Loans” throughout the Notes to Financial Statements.

 

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation: The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are stated in U.S. dollars. The Fund is considered an Investment Company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. As a result, the Fund’s segment accounting policies are consistent with those described herein and the Fund does not have any intra-segment sales and transfers of assets.

 

Portfolio Valuation: BGX’s net asset value (“NAV”) is determined daily on each day that the Exchange is open for business, as of the close of the regular trading session on the Exchange. The Fund calculates NAV per share by subtracting liabilities (including accrued expenses or dividends) from the total assets of the Fund (the value of the securities plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result by the total number of outstanding common shares of the Fund.

 

Loans are primarily valued by using a composite loan price from a nationally recognized loan pricing service. The methodology used by the Fund’s nationally recognized loan pricing provider for composite loan prices is to value loans at the mean of the bid and ask prices from one or more brokers or dealers. Collateralized Loan Obligation securities (“CLOs”) are valued at the price provided by a nationally recognized pricing service. The prices provided by the nationally recognized pricing service are typically based on the evaluated mid-price of each of the CLOs. Corporate bonds and convertible bonds, other than short-term investments, are valued at the price provided by a nationally recognized pricing service. The prices provided by the nationally recognized pricing service are typically based on the mean of bid and ask prices for each corporate bond security. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are generally valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Futures contracts, if any, are ordinarily valued at the last sales price on the securities or commodities exchange on which they are traded. Written and purchased options, if any, are ordinarily valued at the closing price on the securities or commodities exchange on which they are traded. Open-end investment companies are generally valued at their closing net asset values as reported on each business day. To the extent current market quotations are not readily available, short-term debt investments, if any, having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased would be valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

   

 

In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair value determinations related to the Fund’s investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and periodic reporting requirements.

 

Any investments and other assets for which such current market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value (“Fair Valued Assets”) as determined in good faith by a committee of the Adviser (the “Fair Valued Asset Committee”) under procedures established by, and under the general supervision and responsibility of, the Board. Such methods may include, but are not limited to, the use of a market comparable and/or income approach methodologies. A Fair Valued Asset Committee meeting may be called at any time by any member of the Fair Valued Asset Committee. The pricing of all Fair Valued Assets and determinations thereof shall be reported by the Adviser as valuation designee to the Board at each regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. The Fund has procedures to identify and investigate potentially stale or missing prices for investments which are valued using a nationally recognized pricing service, exchange price or broker-dealer quotations. After performing such procedures, any prices which are deemed to be stale are reviewed by the Fair Valued Asset Committee and an alternative pricing source is determined.

 

Various inputs are used to determine the value of BGX’s investments. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 — Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

 

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumption in determining the fair value of investments).

 

The categorization of a value determined for investments and other financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and other financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 because of a lack of observable market data due to decrease in market activity and information for these securities. Other securities were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as observable inputs were available for purposes of valuing those assets.

 

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes and amounts payable or receivable for trades not settled at the time of period end are reflected as liabilities and assets, respectively. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis from the date of settlement. Accretion of discount and amortization of premium, which are included in interest income, are accreted or amortized daily using the accrual basis interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations.

 

When the Fund sells a floating rate loan interest, it may pay an agency fee. The Fund earns facility and other fees on floating rate loan interests, and facility fees are typically amortized to income over the term of the loan. Consent and amendment fees are also recorded to income as earned.

 

NOTE 3. LOANS AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

 

BGX includes first and second lien secured, floating rate loans in its definition of “Secured Loans”. Under normal market conditions, at least 70% of BGX’s Managed Assets (defined below) will be invested in Secured Loans. Secured Loans are made to U.S. and, to a limited extent, non-U.S. corporations, partnerships and other business entities (“Borrowers”) that operate in various industries and geographical regions. BGX defines its “Managed Assets” as total assets (including any assets attributable to any leverage used) minus the sum of BGX’s accrued liabilities (other than liabilities related to the principal amount of leverage). At March 31, 2025, 78.94% of BGX’s Managed Assets were held in Secured Loans.

 

Senior secured loans hold a senior position in the capital structure of a business entity, are secured with specific collateral and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the Borrower that is senior to that held by unsecured creditors, subordinated debt holders and stockholders of the Borrower.

   

 

Loans often require prepayment from Borrowers’ excess cash flows or permit the Borrowers’ to repay at their election. The degree to which Borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirements or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, floating rate loans typically have an expected average life of two to four years. Floating rate loans typically have rates of interest which are re-determined periodically, either daily, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually by reference to a floating base lending rate, primarily the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus a premium or credit spread.

 

Loans are subject to the risk of payment defaults of scheduled interest or principal. Such non-payment could result in a reduction of income, a reduction in the value of the investment and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Fund. Risk of loss of income is generally higher for subordinated unsecured loans or debt, which are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral. There can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral securing a Loan would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation to the Fund in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that such collateral could be readily liquidated.

 

Second lien loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in first lien loans except that such loans are subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority to first lien holders. In the event of default on a second lien loan, the first priority lien holder has first claim to the underlying collateral of the loan. Second lien loans are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the Borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior obligations of the Borrower. At March 31, 2025, BGX had invested $5,821,319 in second lien secured loans. Second lien secured loans are considered Secured Loans for BGX.

 

Loans can be rated below investment grade or may also be unrated. As a result, the risks associated with Loans may be similar to the risks of other below investment grade securities, although they are senior and secured in contrast to other below investment grade securities, which are often subordinated or unsecured. The Fund typically invests in Loans rated below investment grade, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk of the Borrowers. Such companies are more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal owed to the Fund, and such defaults could reduce NAV and income distributions. The amount of public information available with respect to below investment grade loans will generally be less extensive than that available for registered or exchange-listed securities. In evaluating the creditworthiness of Borrowers, the Adviser will consider, and may rely in part on, analyses performed by others. The Adviser’s established best execution procedures and guidelines require trades to be placed for execution only with broker-dealer counterparties approved by the Counterparty Committee of the Adviser. The factors considered by the Counterparty Committee when selecting and approving brokers and dealers include, but are not limited to: (i) quality, accuracy, and timeliness of execution, (ii) review of the reputation, financial strength and stability of the financial institution, (iii) willingness and ability of the counterparty to commit capital, (iv) ongoing reliability and (v) access to underwritten offerings and secondary markets. The Counterparty Committee regularly reviews each broker-dealer counterparty based on the foregoing factors.

 

BGX may acquire Loans through assignments or participations. BGX typically acquires these Loans through assignment, and if BGX acquires a Loan through participation, it will seek to elevate a participation interest into an assignment as soon as practicably possible. The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation. A participation typically results in a contractual relationship only with the institution participating out the interest, not with the Borrower. Sellers of participations typically include banks, broker-dealers, other financial institutions and lending institutions. The Adviser has adopted best execution procedures and guidelines which seek to mitigate credit and counterparty risk in the atypical situation when BGX must acquire a Loan through a participation.

 

BGX has invested in CLO securities. A CLO is a financing entity (generally called a Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”)), created to reapportion the risk and return characteristics of a pool of assets. While the assets underlying a CLO are typically Secured Loans, the assets may also include (i) unsecured loans, (ii) debt securities that are rated below investment grade, and (iii) equity securities incidental to investments in Secured Loans. When investing in CLOs, each fund will not invest in equity tranches, which are the lowest tranche. However, the Fund may invest in lower tranches of CLO debt securities, which typically experience a lower recovery, greater risk of loss or deferral or non-payment of interest than more senior debt tranches of the CLO. In addition, the Fund intends to invest in CLOs consisting primarily of individual Secured Loans of Borrowers and not repackaged CLO obligations from other high risk pools. The underlying Secured Loans purchased by CLOs are generally performing at the time of purchase but may become non-performing, distressed or defaulted. CLOs with underlying assets of non-performing, distressed or defaulted loans are not contemplated to comprise a significant portion of each fund’s investments in CLOs. The key feature of the CLO structure is the prioritization of the cash flows from a pool of debt securities among the several classes of the CLO. The SPV is a company founded solely for the purpose of securitizing payment claims arising out of this diversified asset pool. On this basis, marketable securities are issued by the SPV which, due to the diversification of the underlying risk, generally represent a lower level of risk than the original assets. The redemption of the securities issued by the SPV typically takes place on a date earlier than legal maturity from refinancing of the senior debt tranches.

NOTE 5. LEVERAGE

 

The Fund has terminated its previously existing leverage facility and entered into a new, separate Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated December 24, 2024, with a new lender to borrow up to a limit of $90 million pursuant to an evergreen revolving line of credit (the “Leverage Facility”). The Leverage Facility does not have a scheduled maturity date, but can be terminated (i) by the Fund upon at least three (3) business days’ written notice to the lender under the Leverage Facility or (ii) by such lender on the latest to occur of (a) the 365th day after the initial closing date of the Leverage Facility, (b) the 270th day after such lender delivers a notice of termination to the Fund or (c) a later date specified by such lender in the notice of termination. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by the assets of the Fund.

 

Interest on outstanding revolving loans under the Leverage Facility is currently charged at a rate of 1.15% above adjusted term SOFR, with either a one (1) month interest period or three (3) month interest period as elected by the Fund. The Fund may also elect to borrow daily interest rate loans based on a customary alternate base rate. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund must pay a commitment fee on any undrawn amounts, currently in an amount equal to 0.15% on the undrawn amounts when drawn amounts equal or exceed 75% of the borrowing limit and 0.25% on the undrawn amounts at any other time. Interest is generally payable at the end of the respective interest period and fees are generally payable after the end of each calendar quarter. At March 31, 2025, BGX had borrowings outstanding under its Leverage Facility of $78,000,000, at an interest rate of 5.47%. Due to the short term nature of the Agreement, face value approximates fair value at March 31, 2025. This fair value is based on Level 2 inputs under the three-tier fair valuation hierarchy (see Note 2). For the period ended March 31, 2025, the average borrowings under BGX’s Leverage Facility and the weighted average interest rate were $80,144,444 and 5.47%, respectively. During the period ended March 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $4,928 for commitment fees on undrawn amounts.

 

Under the Agreement, the Fund has agreed to certain covenants and additional investment limitations while the leverage is outstanding. The Fund has agreed to maintain asset coverage of three times over borrowings. Compliance with the investment restrictions and calculations are performed by the Fund’s custodian, The Bank of New York Mellon. As of March 31, 2025, the Fund was in compliance with all required investment limitations and asset coverage requirements related to its leverage.

 

The use of borrowings to leverage the common shares of the Fund can create risks. Changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio, including securities bought with the proceeds of leverage, are borne entirely by the holders of common shares of the Fund. All costs and expenses related to any form of leverage used by the Fund are borne entirely by common shareholders. If there is a net decrease or increase in the value of the Fund’s investment portfolio, the leverage may decrease or increase, as the case may be, the NAV per common share to a greater extent than if the Fund did not utilize leverage. As of March 31, 2025, BGX’s leverage represented 32.17% of the Fund’s Managed Assets.
