On January 18, 2024, Blackstone Private Credit Fund (the “Fund”) priced an offering of $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 6.250% notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes will mature on January 25, 2031 and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Fund’s option at any time at par value plus a “make-whole” premium. The offering is expected to close on January 25, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Fund expects to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes of us and our subsidiaries.
This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements about the Fund’s business, including, in particular, statements about the Fund’s plans, strategies and objectives. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the Fund’s use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue” or other similar words. These statements include the Fund’s plans and objectives for future operations (including plans and objectives relating to future growth and availability of funds), expectations for current or future investments, and expectations for market and other macroeconomic trends, and are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to these statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to accurately predict and many of which are beyond the Fund’s control. Although the Fund believes the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements, and the forward-looking statements themselves, are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and the Fund’s actual results, performance and achievements may be materially different from that expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in these forward-looking statements, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by the Fund or any other person that the Fund’s objectives and plans, which the Fund considers to be reasonable, will be achieved.
You should carefully review the “Risk Factors” section of the Fund’s prospectus, its most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any updates in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that the Fund believes are material to its business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, the Fund does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
