Consists of a $0.53 regular dividend and $0.20 special dividend with a record date of May 16, 2022 BXSL’s dividend yield is calculated as LTM dividends declared per share ($2.54) divided by the ending NAV on June 30, 2022 of $25.89.

Average loan-to-value represents the net ratio of loan-to-value for each portfolio company, weighted based on the fair value of total applicable private debt investments. Loan-to-value is calculated as the current total net debt through each respective loan tranche divided by the estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company as of the most recently available information. Includes all private debt investments for which fair value is determined by the Board of Trustees in conjunction with a third-party valuation firm and excludes quoted assets. Amounts are weighted on fair market value of each respective investment. Amounts were derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements, have not been independently verified by BXSL, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, BXSL makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information. Private debt investments represent approximately 95% of the total debt portfolio based on fair value. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a particular portfolio company, EBITDA is generally defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.

Top Ten Portfolio Companies(2) (as of June 30, 2022) Portfolio Construction Blackstone Credit U.S. Direct Lending platform default is defined as a payment default or a bankruptcy event. Represents loss of principal net of interest received resulting from default for all transactions in the U.S. Direct Lending track record from December 2006 to June 2022. These numbers include the FS BDCs as described and defined below through March 31, 2018. Blackstone Credit loss rate is calculated based on defaults in each calendar year period. Loss of principal net of interest received resulting from default calculation includes investments in BDCs that were sub-advised by Blackstone Credit (the “FS BDCs”) on a non-discretionary basis until April 9, 2018. Investments sourced by Blackstone Credit for the FS BDCs did, in certain cases, experience defaults and losses after Blackstone Credit was no longer sub-adviser and such defaults and losses are not included in the rates provided. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results, and there can be no assurance that Blackstone Credit will achieve comparable results or that any entity or account managed or advised by Blackstone Credit will be able to implement its investment strategy or achieve its investment objectives. Based on fair market value.

Selected Financial Highlights ($ in millions, except share and per share data) Annualized net investment income return is calculated as the total quarterly net investment income per share (annualized) divided by NAV per share at the beginning of the quarter. Total return is calculated as the change in NAV per share during the period, plus dividends per share (assuming dividends and distributions are reinvested in accordance with the Company's dividend reinvestment plan), divided by the beginning NAV per share. Inception-to-date return is annualized. Total debt outstanding is shown net of unamortized debt issuance costs. Average and ending leverage is calculated using principal amounts outstanding. Computed as (a) the annual stated interest rate or yield plus the annual accretion of discounts or less the annual amortization of premiums, as applicable, on accruing debt included in such securities, divided by (b) total debt investments (at cost or fair value, as applicable) included in such securities. Actual yields earned over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented. 15 2Q 2019 1Q 2020 3Q 2020 1Q'21 2Q'21 3Q'21 4Q'21 1Q'22 Q2'22 Operating Results Net investment income $75.918999999999969 $71.406000000000006 $93.805999999999983 $110.58299999999996 $103 $105.26600000000001 Net income 111.76699999999997 116.69500000000001 110.00599999999999 122.09399999999995 107 79.590999999999994 Net investment income per share $0.58413967433070746 $0.53371905931718566 $0.63413245787680217 $0.66622865552415977 $0.61 $0.62 Net income per share 0.86 0.87222285665913468 0.74363574069401961 0.73499688287895293 0.63 0.46976461117251611 Regular dividends per share 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.53 0.53 0.53 Special dividends per share 0 0 0 0 0.25 0.2 Annualized net investment income return (1) 9.2% 8.3% 9.7% 0.10248565965583174 9.3% 9.4% Quarterly total return based on NAV (2) 3.4% 3.4% 2.8% 2.5% 2.4% 1.9% New investment fundings $1,220.4000000000001 $2,121.6 $2,440.1999999999998 $2,597 $334.2 $326 New investment fundings 1,098.9939999999999 1,496.1 1,846.5260000000001 2,392 277.7 296 0.5 Investments sold and repaid -,637.3700000000003 -,302.40100000000001 -1,006.855 -,788.12599999999998 -,133 -,214 2 2Q 2019 1Q 2020 3Q 2020 3/31/21 6/30/21 9/30/21 12/31/21 3/31/22 6/30/22 7.6% Balance sheet Investments at fair value $1,519.6590000000001 3,635.3049999999998 4,880.6790184900001 $6,105.4 $7,356.64 $8,223.470000000005 $9,855.3790000000008 $10,024 $10,084.902 Total debt outstanding (3) 651.24199999999996 $1,794.12 $2,335.4065223 2,946.2 3,760.9 4,457.7 5,498.6329999999998 5,637 5,788.1930000000002 58632 Net asset value 963.70799999999974 1,771.4609999999998 2,540.9133931200004 3,325.7 3,741.1019999999999 4,142.45 4,447.4800000000014 4,434 4,355.730000000012 117 Net asset value per share 25.56 25.92 26.15 26.270000000000003 26.13 25.885473299619516 6,859,944 Ending debt-to-equity (3) 0.68x 1.01x 0.92x 0.89x 1.01x 1.09x 1.25x 1.28x 1.34 Average debt-to-equity (3) 0.80x 0.99x 1.16x 1.22x 1.25x 1.2999986445286633 % First lien 0.98239761992126851 0.98099999999999998 0.98117751145410304 0.97629999999999995 0.97599999999999998 0.97594036785282223 9745126 Weighted average yield on debt and income producing investments, at fair value (4) 7.6% 7.4% 7.3% 7.2% 7.2% 7.8% 5575482 Number of portfolio companies 89 111 117 148 152 163 4,169,644 25.2 0.65 2.5% 4,390,988,678.3046856 ,110,541,785.40999998 ,442,167,141.63999993 0.10069876604890632 #REF! -0.14319539607621434 1.9866504790765127E-2 0.58413967433070746 Footnote for Div coverage ratio: NII / Dividend per Share LTM for each quarter #REF!
