Re:Request for Withdrawal of Exemptive Application for First Eagle BDC, LLC et al. (File No. 812-14949)

Dear Mr. Ahlgren:

On behalf of First Eagle BDC, LLC and the additional applicants (collectively, the “Applicants”), we hereby request the withdrawal of the exemptive application (File No. 812-14949) (the “Application”) first filed by the Applicants on September 11, 2018, and subsequently amended on May 28, 2019 and October 17, 2019. The Application requested exemptive relief under Sections 17(d) and 57(i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and Rule 17d-1 promulgated thereunder, permitting certain joint transactions otherwise prohibited by the 1940 Act. The Applicants have chosen not to seek exemptive relief at this time.

If you have any questions concerning the foregoing, please call me at (212) 698-3889. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

/s/ Stephen H. Bier
