ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Business
Barings Private Credit Corporation (“BPCC” or the “Company”) was formed on April 2, 2021 as a Maryland limited liability company named Barings Private Credit LLC and commenced operations on May 10, 2021 with its Initial Closing (as defined below). The Company converted to a Maryland corporation, effective on May 13, 2021. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the 1940 Act. In addition, the Company has elected to be treated and intends to qualify annually as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The Company is a non-exchange traded, privately offered perpetual-life BDC, which is a BDC whose shares are not listed for trading on a stock exchange or other securities market. The Company uses the term “privately offered perpetual-life BDC” to describe an investment vehicle of indefinite duration, whose shares of common stock are intended to be sold by the BDC on a continuous basis in private offerings at a price equal to the BDC’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Description of Business
The Company is a financial services company that primarily lends to and invests in senior secured private debt investments in well-established middle-market businesses that operate across a wide range of industries. The Company is externally managed by Barings, an investment adviser that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Adviser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”), is a leading global asset management firm.
Formation Transactions/Initial Portfolio
On May 12, 2021, shortly prior to the Company’s election to be regulated as a BDC and conversion to a Maryland corporation, the Company acquired from MassMutual and C.M. Life Insurance Company (“CM Life”), a subsidiary of MassMutual, a select portfolio of senior secured private debt investments in, and funding obligations to, well-established middle-market businesses that operate across a wide range of industries (the “Initial Portfolio”). The Company used the net proceeds from its $450 million initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) of its private continuous offering of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Private Offering”), along with borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, to purchase the Initial Portfolio.
The investments in the Initial Portfolio were selected based upon the Company’s defined investment objective, amount and type of unfunded obligations associated with each investment and the investment requirements set forth under the 1940 Act or otherwise imposed by applicable laws, rules or regulations, including in accordance with the Company’s election to be treated as a RIC for tax purposes.
The aggregate purchase price for the Initial Portfolio was $602.4 million, which is equal to the sum of the fair values of each investment in the Initial Portfolio at the time of purchase of the Initial Portfolio, net of accrued fees associated with certain unfunded obligations in the Initial Portfolio. The investments in the Initial Portfolio were valued as of March 31, 2021 by an independent third-party valuation firm, provided that any investments in the Initial Portfolio acquired by MassMutual or CM Life after March 31, 2021 were initially valued at cost. In connection with the acquisition of the Initial Portfolio, Barings conducted certain valuation procedures to confirm whether there had been any material changes to the fair value of the investments and obligations in the Initial Portfolio from the previously determined fair value thereof and concluded that no purchase price adjustments were necessary given the absence of any such material changes.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Barings Private Credit Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The effects of all intercompany transactions between the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is an investment company and, therefore, applies the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC Topic 946”). ASC Topic 946 states that consolidation by the Company of an investee that is not an investment company is not appropriate, except when the Company holds a controlling interest in an operating company that provides all or substantially all of its services directly to the Company or to its portfolio companies. None of the portfolio investments made by the Company qualify for this exception. Therefore, the Company’s investment portfolio is carried on the Unaudited and
Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, as discussed further in “Note 3. Investments”, with any adjustments to fair value recognized as “Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6, 10 and 12 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period, have been reflected in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the full fiscal year. Additionally, the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024. Financial statements prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update, 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2023-09”), which updates income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendment also provides further disclosure comparability. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Discretionary Share Repurchase Program
The Company has commenced a discretionary share repurchase program in which it may, subject to market conditions and the discretion of the Board, offer to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time if in its reasonable judgment if it deems such action to be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter, such as when a repurchase offer would place an undue burden on the Company’s liquidity, adversely affect its operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company that would outweigh the benefit of the repurchase offer. The Company intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 13e-4 and the 1940 Act and subject to compliance with applicable covenants and restrictions under the Company’s financing arrangements. All shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be redeemed and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.
Under the Company’s discretionary share repurchase program, to the extent the Company offers to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, it expects to repurchase shares pursuant to quarterly tender offers using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter (the “Valuation Date”). Stockholders should keep in mind that if they tender their shares of common stock in a tender offer with a Valuation Date that is within the 12-month period following the initial issue date of their tendered shares, the Company may repurchase such shares subject to an “early repurchase deduction” of 2% of the aggregate NAV of the shares repurchased (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”). This Early Repurchase Deduction will also generally apply to minimum account repurchases. Payment of the Early Repurchase Deduction will be made by reducing the repurchase proceeds. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Company for the benefit of its remaining stockholders. Shares that are issued pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan and tendered will not be subject to the Early Repurchase Deduction. Shares repurchased will be treated as having been repurchased on a “first in-first out” basis for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Early Repurchase Deduction is applicable. In addition, shares of the Company’s common stock may be sold to certain feeder vehicles primarily created to hold the Company’s shares that in turn offer interests in such feeder vehicles to non-U.S. persons. For such feeder vehicles and similar arrangements in certain markets, as well as for shares of the Company’s common stock held in certain omnibus accounts, the Company may not apply the Early Repurchase Deduction to the feeder vehicles or underlying individual investors, often because of administrative or system limitations.
A stockholder who tenders some but not all of its shares for repurchase will be required to maintain a minimum account balance of $5,000 in the Company based on the Valuation Date net asset value per share. Such minimum account balance requirement may be waived by the Company, in its sole discretion. The Company reserves the right to reduce the number of shares to be repurchased from a stockholder so that the required account balance is maintained.
The Company may, in its sole discretion, also waive the Early Repurchase Deduction in the following circumstances (subject to the conditions described in the relevant tender offer documents):
repurchases resulting from death, qualifying disability or divorce;
in the event that a stockholder’s shares are repurchased because the stockholder has failed to maintain the $5,000 minimum account balance; or
due to trade or operational error.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company accepted for repurchase 2,238,362 shares for a total value of $46.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company accepted for repurchase 5,679,432 shares for a total value of $117.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company accepted for repurchase 2,683,648 shares for a total value of $56.1 million.
