Onex Direct Lending BDC Fund (formerly known as Onex Falcon Direct Lending BDC Fund) (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Delaware statutory trust formed on April 27, 2021, is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company also elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company commenced operations on October 1, 2021.

On August 25, 2021, the Company formed a wholly-owned blocker entity, Onex Direct Lending BDC Blocker LLC (formerly known as Onex Falcon Direct Lending BDC Blocker LLC) (the “ODL Blocker”), which holds certain of the Company’s portfolio equity investments. On September 21, 2021, the Company formed a wholly-owned, special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, Onex Direct Lending BDC SPV, LLC (formerly known as Onex Falcon Direct Lending BDC SPV, LLC) (the “ODL SPV”), which holds certain of the Company’s portfolio loan investments that are used as collateral for the debt financing facility provided by Société Générale. On December 13, 2022, the Company formed a wholly-owned entity, Connect America OFDL BDC Holdings, LLC (the “OFDL Holdings”), which holds certain of the Company's portfolio equity investments.

Effective March 5, 2024, Falcon Investment Advisors, LLC (formerly known as Onex Falcon Investment Advisors, LLC), the Company’s prior investment adviser (the “Prior Adviser”), assigned the Investment Advisory Agreement (as defined below) to Onex Credit Advisor, LLC. The Company is managed by Onex Credit Advisor, LLC, (the “Adviser”). The Adviser, subject to the overall supervision of the Board, provides investment advisory services to the Company. The Adviser also provides administrative services necessary for the Company to operate.

The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income while preserving capital and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investment opportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns.

The Company invests primarily in high-quality senior secured first lien loans and other credit investments of “middle market companies” located in the United States. The Company defines “high-quality” as investments deemed by the Adviser, after diligence and underwriting, to have favorable risk-reward characteristics including, but not limited to, a low probability of default, favorable investment terms, and an appropriate capital structure to companies of high creditworthiness with stable cash flow generation. The Company may also seek to invest in the subordinated debt and equity, including warrants, options, and convertible instruments, of middle market companies.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.
