(1) All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise noted. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted.

(2) See Note 3 in the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for portfolio composition by geographic region.

(3) Each of the Company’s investments is pledged as collateral under one or more of its credit facilities. A single investment may be divided into parts that are individually pledged as collateral to separate credit facilities.

(4) Interest rates may be adjusted from period to period on certain term loans and revolvers. These rate adjustments may be either temporary in nature due to tier pricing arrangements or financial or payment covenant violations in the original credit agreements or permanent in nature per loan amendment or waiver documents.

(5) The interest rate on the principal balance outstanding for most floating rate loans is indexed to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR” or “L”), the euro interbank offered rate (“EURIBOR” or “E”), the sterling overnight index average (“SONIA”) and/or an alternate base rate (e.g., prime rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower’s option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. For each of these loans, the Company has provided the applicable margin over the reference rate or the alternate base rate based on each respective credit agreement and the cash interest rate as of period end. All LIBOR shown above is in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. As of December 31, 2023, the reference rates for the Company’s variable rate loans were the 30-day SOFR at 5.36%, the 90-day SOFR at 5.35%, the 180-day SOFR at 5.18%, the 90-day LIBOR at 5.64%, the PRIME at 8.50%, the SONIA at 5.19%, the 30-day EURIBOR at 3.80%, the 90-day EURIBOR at 3.96% and the 180-day EURIBOR at 3.95%. Most loans include an interest floor, which generally ranges from 0% to 2.75%. SOFR and SONIA based contracts may include a credit spread adjustment that is charged in addition to the base rate and the stated spread.

(6) Principal includes accumulated payment in kind (“PIK”) interest and is net of repayments, if any. “€” signifies the investment is denominated in Euros. “£” signifies the investment is denominated in British Pounds. All other investments are denominated in U.S. dollars.

(7) Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments are investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments. Control Investments generally are defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as investments in companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies

of the company. Affiliate Investments generally are defined by the Investment Company Act as investments in companies in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities.

(8) As of December 31, 2023, these investments are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy established by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) and were valued using significant unobservable inputs.

(9) Investment has undrawn commitments. Unamortized fees are classified as unearned income which reduces cost basis, which may result in a negative cost basis. A negative fair value may result from the unfunded commitment being valued below par.

(10) Investment is not a qualifying asset as defined under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of December 31, 2023, qualifying assets represented 78.9% of the Company’s total assets and non-qualifying assets represented 21.1% of the Company’s total assets.

(11) This investment represents a participation interest in the underlying securities shown.

(12) This investment was on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2023.

(4) Interest rates may be adjusted from period to period on certain term loans and revolvers. These rate adjustments may be either temporary in nature due to tier pricing arrangements or financial or payment covenant violations in the original credit agreements or permanent in nature per loan amendment or waiver documents.

(5) The interest rate on the principal balance outstanding for most floating rate loans is indexed to SOFR, LIBOR or “L”, SONIA and/or an alternate base rate (e.g., prime rate), which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower’s option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. For each of these loans, the Company has provided the applicable margin over the reference rate or the alternate base rate based on each respective credit agreement and the cash interest rate as of period end. All LIBOR shown above is in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. As of September 30, 2023, the reference rates for the Company’s variable rate loans were the 30-day SOFR at 5.32%, the 90-day SOFR at 5.39%, the 180-day SOFR at 5.47%, the 90-day LIBOR at 5.65%, the SONIA at 5.19%, the 30-day EURIBOR at 3.42%, the 90-day EURIBOR at 3.82% and the 180-day EURIBOR at 3.95%. Most loans include an interest floor, which generally ranges from 0% to 2.75%. SOFR and SONIA based contracts may include a credit spread adjustment that is charged in addition to the base rate and the stated spread.

(7) Non-Control/Non-Affiliate Investments are investments that are neither Control Investments nor Affiliate Investments. Control Investments generally are defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as investments in companies in which the Company owns more than 25% of the voting securities and/or has the power to exercise control over the management or policies of the company. Affiliate Investments generally are defined by the Investment Company Act as investments in companies in which the Company owns between 5% and 25% of the voting securities.

(8) As of September 30, 2023, these investments are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 and were valued using significant unobservable inputs.

(9) Investment has undrawn commitments. Unamortized fees are classified as unearned income which reduces cost basis, which may result in a negative cost basis. A negative fair value may result from the unfunded commitment being valued below par.

(10) Investment is not a qualifying asset as defined under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act. Under the Investment Company Act, the Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time the acquisition is made, qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the Company’s total assets. As of September 30, 2023, qualifying assets represented 78.1% of the Company’s total assets and non-qualifying assets represented 21.9% of the Company’s total assets.

Note 1. Organization

Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund (the “Company”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on November 24, 2021 and is structured as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. On February 3, 2022, the Company elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Company has elected to be treated, and intends to qualify annually to be treated, as a registered investment company (a “RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Effective as of February 3, 2022, the Company is externally managed by Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (as amended and restated, the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), between the Company and the Adviser. The Adviser is an entity under common control with Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (“OCG”). In 2019, Brookfield Corporation (formerly known as Brookfield Asset Management, Inc., collectively with its affiliates, “Brookfield”) acquired a majority economic interest in OCG. OCG operates as an independent business within Brookfield, with its own product offerings and investment, marketing and support teams.

The Company’s investment objective is to generate stable current income and long-term capital appreciation. The Company seeks to meet its investment objective by primarily investing in private debt opportunities.

In connection with its formation, the Company has the authority to issue an unlimited number of common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Shares”). The Company offers on a continuous basis up to $5.0 billion aggregate offering price of Common Shares (the “Maximum Offering Amount”) pursuant to an offering registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company offers to sell any combination of three classes of Common Shares, Class S shares, Class D shares and Class I shares, with a dollar value up to the Maximum Offering Amount. The share classes have different ongoing distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees.

The Company accepted purchase orders and held investors’ funds in an interest-bearing escrow account until the Company received purchase orders for Common Shares of at least $100.0 million, excluding subscriptions by Oaktree Fund GP I, L.P. in respect of the Class I shares purchased by Oaktree Fund GP I, L.P. prior to March 31, 2022.

As of June 1, 2022, the Company had satisfied the minimum offering requirement and the Board had authorized the release of proceeds from escrow. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has issued and sold 57,153,825 Class I shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1,354.6 million of which $100.0 million was purchased by an affiliate of the Adviser. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has issued and sold 27,196,230 Class S shares for an aggregate purchase price of $639.5 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has issued and sold 22,314 Class D shares for an aggregate purchase price of $0.5 million.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been made. The Company is an investment company following the accounting and reporting guidance in FASB ASC Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).

27

OAKTREE STRATEGIC CREDIT FUND

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions affecting amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the economic and political environments, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ and such differences could be material. Significant estimates include the valuation of investments and revenue recognition.

Consolidation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated subsidiaries are wholly-owned and, as such, consolidated into the consolidated financial statements. The assets of the consolidated subsidiaries are not directly available to satisfy the claims of the creditors of the Company. As an investment company, portfolio investments held by the Company are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements but rather are included on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as investments at fair value.

Fair Value Measurements:

The Adviser, as the valuation designee of the Board pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, determines the fair value of the Company’s assets on at least a quarterly basis in accordance with ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices over entity-specific inputs. Where observable prices or inputs are not available or reliable, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments’ complexity.

Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

• Level 1 — Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data at the measurement date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the Adviser’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

If inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, an investment’s level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Adviser’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. This includes investment securities that are valued using “bid” and

28

OAKTREE STRATEGIC CREDIT FUND

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

“ask” prices obtained from independent third party pricing services or directly from brokers. These investments may be classified as Level 3 because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities or may require adjustments for investment-specific factors or restrictions.

Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value. As such, the Adviser obtains and analyzes readily available market quotations provided by pricing vendors and brokers for all of the Company’s investments for which quotations are available. In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing vendors and brokers use observable market information, including both binding and non-binding indicative quotations.

The Adviser seeks to obtain at least two quotations for the subject or similar securities, typically from pricing vendors. If the Adviser is unable to obtain two quotes from pricing vendors, or if the prices obtained from pricing vendors are not within the Adviser’s set threshold, the Adviser seeks to obtain a quote directly from a broker making a market for the asset. The Adviser evaluates the quotations provided by pricing vendors and brokers based on available market information, including trading activity of the subject or similar securities, or by performing a comparable security analysis to ensure that fair values are reasonably estimated. The Adviser also performs back-testing of valuation information obtained from pricing vendors and brokers against actual prices received in transactions. In addition to ongoing monitoring and back-testing, the Adviser performs due diligence procedures over pricing vendors to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process. Generally, the Adviser does not adjust any of the prices received from these sources.

If the quotations obtained from pricing vendors or brokers are determined not to be reliable or are not readily available, the Adviser values such investments using any of three different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is the transaction precedent technique, which utilizes recent or expected future transactions of the investment to determine fair value, to the extent applicable. The second valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value (“EV”) of the portfolio company. EV means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The EV analysis is typically performed to determine (i) the value of equity investments, (ii) whether there is credit impairment for debt investments and (iii) the value for debt investments that the Company is deemed to control under the Investment Company Act. To estimate the EV of a portfolio company, the Adviser analyzes various factors, including the portfolio company’s historical and projected financial results, macroeconomic impacts on the company and competitive dynamics in the company’s industry. the Adviser also utilizes some or all of the following information based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company: (i) valuations of comparable public companies, (ii) recent sales of private and public comparable companies in similar industries or having similar business or earnings characteristics, (iii) purchase prices as a multiple of their earnings or cash flow, (iv) the portfolio company’s ability to meet its forecasts and its business prospects, (v) a discounted cash flow analysis, (vi) estimated liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets and (vii) offers from third parties to buy the portfolio company. The Adviser may probability weight potential sale outcomes with respect to a portfolio company when uncertainty exists as of the valuation date. The third valuation technique is a market yield technique, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments. In the market yield technique, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk, and the Adviser considers the current contractual interest rate, the capital structure and other terms of the investment relative to risk of the company and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the EV of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by the Company are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Adviser depends on primary market

29

OAKTREE STRATEGIC CREDIT FUND

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

data, including newly funded transactions and industry specific market movements, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.

The Adviser estimates the fair value of certain privately held warrants using a Black Scholes pricing model, which includes an analysis of various factors and subjective assumptions, including the current stock price (by using an EV analysis as described above), the expected period until exercise, expected volatility of the underlying stock price, expected dividends and the risk free rate. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.

In December 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act. Rule 2a-5 permits boards of registered investment companies and Business Development Companies to either (i) choose to continue to determine fair value in good faith, or (ii) designate a valuation designee tasked with determining fair value in good faith, subject to the board’s oversight. The Company’s Board of Trustees has designated the Adviser to serve as its valuation designee effective September 8, 2022.

The Adviser undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of the Company’s investments:

• The quarterly valuation process begins with each portfolio company or investment being initially valued by the Adviser’s valuation team;

• Preliminary valuations are then reviewed and discussed with management of the Adviser;

• Separately, independent valuation firms prepare valuations of the Company’s investments, on a selected basis, for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment, and submit the reports to the Company and provide such reports to the Adviser;

• The Adviser compares and contrasts its preliminary valuations to the valuations of the independent valuation firms and prepares a valuation report for the Audit Committee;

• The Audit Committee reviews the valuation report with the Adviser, and the Adviser responds and supplements the valuation report to reflect any discussions between the Adviser and the Audit Committee; and

• The Adviser, as valuation designee, determines the fair value of each investment in the Company’s portfolio.

The fair value of the Company’s investments as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 was determined by the Adviser, as the Company’s valuation designee. The Company has and will continue to engage independent valuation firms each quarter to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of a portion of its portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, these estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been reported had a ready market for the investments existed, and it is reasonably possible that the difference could be material.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

When the Company determines its net asset value as of the last day of a month that is not also the last day of a calendar quarter, the Company intends to update the value of securities with reliable market quotations to the most recent market quotation. For securities without reliable market quotations, pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy, the Adviser’s valuation team will generally value such assets at the most recent quarterly valuation or, in the case of securities acquired after such date, cost, unless, in either case, the Adviser determines that since the most recent quarter end or the date of acquisition for securities acquired after quarter end, as the case may be, a significant observable change has occurred with respect to the investment (which determination may be as a result of a material event at a portfolio company, material change in market spreads, secondary market transaction in the securities of an investment or otherwise). If the Adviser determines such a change has occurred with respect to one or more investments, the Adviser will determine whether to update the value for each relevant investment using a range of values from an independent valuation firm, where applicable, in accordance with the Company’s valuation policy. Additionally, the Adviser may otherwise determine to update the most recent quarter end valuation of an investment without reliable market quotations that the Adviser considers to be material to the Company using a range of values from an independent valuation firm.

With the exception of the line items entitled “deferred financing costs,” “deferred offering costs,” “other assets,” “deferred tax liability,” and “credit facilities payable,” which are reported at amortized cost, all assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities approximate fair value. The carrying value of the line items titled “due from affiliates,” “interest receivable,” “receivables from unsettled transactions,” “accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities,” “dividends payable,” “base management fee and incentive fee payable,” “interest payable,” “payables from unsettled transactions” and “due to affiliates” approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Foreign Currency Translation:

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the prevailing foreign exchange rate on the reporting date. The Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The Company’s investments in foreign securities may involve certain risks, including foreign exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic risks, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investment. In addition, changes in the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of these investments and therefore the earnings of the Company.

Derivative Instruments:

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. In a foreign currency forward contract, the Company agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another at a pre-determined price at a future date. Foreign currency forward contracts are marked-to-market at the applicable forward rate. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts is recorded within derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. Purchases and settlements of foreign currency forward contracts having the same settlement date and counterparty are generally settled net and any realized gains or losses are recognized on the settlement date. The Company does not utilize hedge accounting with respect to foreign currency forward contracts and as such, the Company recognizes its foreign currency forward contracts at fair value with changes included in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

OAKTREE STRATEGIC CREDIT FUND

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

Interest Rate Swaps:

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge some of the Company’s fixed rate debt. The Company designated the interest rate swaps as the hedging instruments in an effective hedge accounting relationship, and therefore the periodic payments are recognized as components of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depending on the nature of the balance at period end, the fair value of each interest rate swap is either included as a derivative asset or derivative liability on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in fair value of the interest rate swaps is offset by a change in the carrying value of the fixed rate debt. Any amounts paid to the counterparty to cover collateral obligations under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements are included in due from broker on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Secured Borrowings:

Securities sold and simultaneously repurchased at a premium are reported as financing transactions in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”). Amounts payable to the counterparty are due on the repurchase settlement date and, excluding accrued interest, such amounts are presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as secured borrowings. Premiums payable are separately reported as accrued interest.

Investment Income:

Interest Income

Interest income, adjusted for accretion of original issue discount (“OID”), is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company stops accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest in cash are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest cash payments will be collected. Cash interest payments received on investments may be recognized as income or a return of capital depending upon management’s judgment. A non-accrual investment is restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest are paid in cash, and the portfolio company, in management’s judgment, is likely to continue timely payment of its remaining obligations. As of December 31, 2023, there was one investment on non-accrual status that represented 0.4% and 0.2% of total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, there were no investments on non-accrual status.

In connection with its investment in a portfolio company, the Company sometimes receives nominal cost equity that is valued as part of the negotiation process with the portfolio company. When the Company receives nominal cost equity, the Company allocates its cost basis in the investment between debt securities and the nominal cost equity at the time of origination. Any resulting discount from recording the loan, or otherwise purchasing a security at a discount, is accreted into interest income over the life of the loan.

For the Company’s secured borrowings, the interest earned on the entire loan balance is recorded within interest income and the interest earned by the counterparty is recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

PIK Interest Income

The Company’s investments in debt securities may contain PIK interest provisions. PIK interest, which generally represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of

32

OAKTREE STRATEGIC CREDIT FUND

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

the loan term, is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. The Company generally ceases accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if the Company does not expect the portfolio company to be able to pay all principal and interest due. The Company’s decision to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security involves subjective judgments and determinations based on available information about a particular portfolio company, including whether the portfolio company is current with respect to its payment of principal and interest on its loans and debt securities; financial statements and financial projections for the portfolio company; the Company’s assessment of the portfolio company’s business development success; information obtained by the Company in connection with periodic formal update interviews with the portfolio company’s management and, if appropriate, the private equity sponsor; and information about the general economic and market conditions in which the portfolio company operates. The Company’s determination to cease accruing PIK interest is generally made well before the Company’s full write-down of a loan or debt security. In addition, if it is subsequently determined that the Company will not be able to collect any previously accrued PIK interest, the fair value of the loans or debt securities would be reduced by the amount of such previously accrued, but uncollectible, PIK interest. The accrual of PIK interest on the Company’s debt investments increases the recorded cost bases of these investments in the consolidated financial statements including for purposes of computing the capital gains incentive fee payable by the Company to the Adviser. To maintain its status as a RIC, certain income from PIK interest may be required to be distributed to the Company’s shareholders, even though the Company has not yet collected the cash and may never do so.

Fee Income

The Adviser or its affiliates may provide financial advisory services to portfolio companies in connection with structuring a transaction and in return the Company may receive fees for capital structuring services. These fees are generally non-recurring and are recognized by the Company upon the investment closing date. The Company may also receive additional fees in the ordinary course of business, including servicing, amendment, exit and prepayment fees, which are classified as fee income and recognized as they are earned or the services are rendered.

Dividend Income

The Company generally recognizes dividend income on the ex-dividend date for public securities and the record date for private equity investments. Distributions received from private equity investments are evaluated to determine if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income or a return of capital. Generally, the Company will not record distributions from private equity investments as dividend income unless there are sufficient earnings at the portfolio company prior to the distribution. Distributions that are classified as a return of capital are recorded as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when acquired. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, cash held in bank accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. Cash and cash equivalents are included on the Company’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 assets.

As of December 31, 2023, included in restricted cash was $8.1 million that was held at Citibank, N.A. in connection with the Company’s JPM Agreements (defined below). Pursuant to the terms of the JPM Agreements,

33

OAKTREE STRATEGIC CREDIT FUND

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

the Company was restricted in terms of access to the $8.1 million until the occurrence of the periodic distribution dates and, in connection therewith, the Company’s submission of its required periodic reporting schedules and verifications of the Company’s compliance with the terms of the JPM Agreements. As of December 31, 2023, included in restricted cash was $0.2 million that was held at Citibank, N.A. in connection with the Company’s SMBC Loan and Security Agreement (defined below). Pursuant to the terms of the SMBC Loan and Security Agreement, the Company was restricted in terms of access to the $0.2 million until the occurrence of the periodic distribution dates and, in connection therewith, the Company’s submission of its required periodic reporting schedules and verifications of the Company’s compliance with the terms of the SMBC Loan and Security Agreement.

Receivables/Payables from Unsettled Transactions:

Receivables/payables from unsettled transactions consist of amounts receivable to or payable by the Company for transactions that have not settled at the reporting date.

Deferred Financing Costs:

Deferred financing costs consist of fees and expenses paid in connection with the closing or amending of credit facilities. Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with credit facilities are capitalized as an asset when incurred. Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with all other debt arrangements are a direct deduction from the related debt liability when incurred. Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the respective debt arrangement. This amortization expense is included in interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Upon early termination or modification of a credit facility, all or a portion of unamortized fees related to such facility may be accelerated into interest expense.

Organization and Offering Costs:

Costs associated with the organization of the Company will be expensed as incurred. Costs associated with the offering of Common Shares of the Company are capitalized as “deferred offering costs” on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over a twelve-month period from incurrence.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not incur any organization costs. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company expensed organization costs of $4. As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, $307 and $270, respectively, of offering costs were capitalized on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company amortized offering costs of $222. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company amortized offering costs of $848.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses:

Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Distributions:

To the extent that the Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to make monthly distributions to its shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. All distributions

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s earnings, financial condition, maintenance of the Company’s tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time. Although the gross distribution per share is generally equivalent for each share class, the net distribution for each share class is reduced for any class specific expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if any.

Income Taxes:

On February 3, 2022, the Company elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act. The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its shareholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company would represent obligations of the Company’s investors and would not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax year 2022.

To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of- income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income” for that year, which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses.

In addition, based on the excise tax distribution requirements, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner in each taxable year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in prior years. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. The Company did not incur a U.S. federal excise tax for calendar years 2023 and 2022.

The Company holds certain portfolio investments through a taxable subsidiary. The purpose of the Company’s taxable subsidiary is to permit the Company to hold equity investments in portfolio companies which are “pass through” entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes in order to comply with the RIC tax requirements. The taxable subsidiary is consolidated for financial reporting purposes, and portfolio investments held by it are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as portfolio investments and recorded at fair value. The taxable subsidiary is not consolidated with the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may generate income tax expense, or benefit, and the related tax assets and liabilities, as a result of their ownership of certain portfolio investments. This income tax expense, if any, would be reflected in the Company’s

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company uses the liability method to account for its taxable subsidiary’s income taxes. Using this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company recognizes deferred tax benefits associated with net operating loss carry forwards that it may use to offset future tax obligations. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which it expects to recover or settle those temporary differences.

When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the fact that the unobservable factors are significant to the overall fair value measurement. However, Level 3 financial instruments typically have both unobservable or Level 3 components and observable components (i.e. components that are actively quoted and can be validated by external sources). Accordingly, the appreciation (depreciation) in the tables below includes changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

The principal value of any borrowings outstanding under the ING Credit Agreement (as defined below), the JPM Loan and Security Agreement (as defined below), the SMBC Loan and Security Agreement (as defined below) and the CIBC Loan and Servicing Agreement (as defined below) approximates fair value due to its variable rate and is included in Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the changes in fair value from September 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023, for all investments for which the Company determined fair value using unobservable (Level 3) factors:

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which the Company will reinvest all cash dividends declared by the Board on behalf of its shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash as provided below. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and the Company declares, a cash dividend or other distribution, then shareholders who have not opted out of the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution. Distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places.

Character of Distributions

The Company may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any source of funds available to the Company, including but not limited to offering proceeds, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense support from the Adviser, which is subject to recoupment.

Through December 31, 2023, a portion of the Company’s distributions resulted from expense support from the Adviser, and future distributions may result from expense support from the Adviser, each of which is subject to repayment by the Company within three years from the date of payment. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid distributions being characterized as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Shareholders should understand that any such distribution is not based solely on the Company’s investment performance, and can only be sustained if the Company achieves positive investment performance in future periods and/or the Adviser continues to provide expense support. Shareholders should also understand that the Company’s future repayments of expense support will reduce the distributions that they would otherwise receive. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the performance necessary to sustain these distributions, or be able to pay distributions at all.

Sources of distributions, other than net investment income and realized gains on a U.S. GAAP basis, include required adjustments to U.S. GAAP net investment income in the current period to determine taxable income available for distributions. The following tables reflect the sources of cash distributions on a U.S. GAAP basis that the Company has declared on its Common Shares for the three months ended December 31, 2023:

	Class I				Class S				Class D
Sources of Distributios	Per Share		Amount		Per Share		Amount		Per Share		Amount

Share Repurchase Program

At the discretion of the Board of Trustees, during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 the Company commenced a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company intends to offer to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of Common Shares outstanding (either by number of shares or aggregate NAV) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. The Board may amend or suspend the share repurchase program at any time if it deems such action to be in the best interest of shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. The Company intends to conduct such repurchase offers pursuant to tender offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act. All shares purchased pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

Under the share repurchase program, to the extent the Company offers to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, it is expected to repurchase shares at the expiration of the tender offer at a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter (the “Valuation Date”), except that shares that have a prospective repurchase date that is within the one-year period following the original issue date of the shares will be subject to an early repurchase deduction of 2% of such NAV (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”). The one-year holding period will be deemed satisfied if the shares to be repurchased would have been outstanding for one year or longer as of the subscription closing date immediately following the applicable Valuation Date, which subscription closing date the Company deems the prospective repurchase date for the applicable offer. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Company for the benefit of remaining shareholders.

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased pursuant to such tender offers an aggregate of 369,913 Class I and 76,176 Class S shares. The following table presents the share repurchases completed during the three months ended December 31, 2023:

Repurchase Pricing Date	Total Number of Shares Repurchased (all classes)		Percentage of Outstanding Shares Repurchased(1)			Price Paid Per Share		Amount Repurchased (all classes)(2)
December 31, 2023		446,089		0.69	%	$	23.62	$	10,526

(1) Percentage is based on total shares as of the close of the previous calendar quarter.

(2) Amounts shown net of Early Repurchase Deduction, where applicable.

There were no share repurchases during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Pursuant to the Subsequent Incremental Commitment and Assumption Agreement, Apple Bank For Savings (i) became a Lender under the ING Credit Agreement and (ii) agreed to make a Commitment to the Company in the amount of $40 million. The Subsequent Incremental Commitment and Assumption Agreement increased the aggregate amount of Commitments under the ING Credit Agreement from $450 million to $490 million.

Effective on and as of June 28, 2023 (the “New Effective Date”), the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “ING Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the ING Credit Agreement. As a result of the ING Credit Agreement Amendment, the ING Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $1,110 million (the “Increased Maximum Commitment”), increased from $490 million, subject to the lesser of (i) a borrowing base and (ii) the Increased Maximum Commitment, and provided that, with respect to any lender, its individual commitment is not exceeded. The revolving credit facility has a four year availability period (the “New Availability Period”) commencing from the New Effective Date during which loans may be made and a stated maturity date that is five years from the New Effective Date (the “New Maturity Date”). Following the New Availability Period, the Company will be required in certain circumstances to prepay loans prior to the New Maturity Date. The ING Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit during the New Availability Period in an aggregate amount of $25 million. Borrowings under the ING Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including making investments and permitted distributions.

The 2028 Unsecured Notes mature on November 14, 2028, unless previously redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The 2028 Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.400% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on May 14 and November 14 of each year, commencing on May 14, 2024. The 2028 Unsecured Notes are the Company’s direct, unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to its future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2028 Unsecured Notes; equal in right of payment to its existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of its secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by its subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

The Indenture contains certain covenants, including a covenant requiring the Company to comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) and (2) of the Investment Company Act, or any successor provisions, but giving effect to any exemptive relief granted to the Company by the SEC and to provide financial information to the holders of the 2028 Unsecured Notes and the Notes Trustee if the Company should no longer be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are set forth in the Indenture.

In connection with the 2028 Unsecured Notes, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to more closely align the interest rate payable on the 2028 Unsecured Notes with its investment portfolio, which consists of predominately floating rate loans. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 8.400% and pays a floating interest rate of the three-month SOFR plus 4.0405% on a notional amount of $350 million.

Note 7. Taxable/Distributable Income

Taxable income differs from net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations primarily due to: (1) unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currency, as gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized, (2) organizational and deferred offering costs and (3) the capital gains incentive fee accrual.

Presented below is a reconciliation of net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations to taxable income for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

	Three months ended December 31, 2023			Three months ended December 31, 2022
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations	$	52,934		$	6,544
Net unrealized (appreciation) depreciation		(16,919	)		2,842
Book/tax difference due to capital gains incentive fees		2,141			—
Other book/tax differences		(4,535	)		(422	)
Taxable income (1)	$	33,621		$	8,964

(1) The Company’s taxable income for the three months ended December 31, 2023 is an estimate and will not be finally determined until the Company files its tax return for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024. The final taxable income may be different than the estimate.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a total provision for income tax expense of $241, which was comprised of a current tax expense of $241.

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a total provision for income tax expense of $51, which was comprised of a current tax expense of $56 and a deferred income tax benefit of $4 that resulted from unrealized depreciation on investments held by the Company’s wholly-owned taxable subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s last tax year end, the components of accumulated overdistributed earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income, net	$	(7,672	)
Net realized capital losses		(2,585	)
Unrealized gains, net		2,508
Accumulated overdistributed earnings	$	(7,749	)

The aggregate cost of investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes was $1,926.3 million as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of value over cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes was $23.8 million. As of September 30, 2023, the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments in which there was an excess of cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes over value was $21.3 million. Net unrealized appreciation based on the aggregate cost of investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes was $2.5 million.

Investment Advisory Agreement

Effective as of February 3, 2022, the Company has entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser. The Company will pay the Adviser a fee for its services consisting of two components: a management fee and an incentive fee.

Management Fee

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the management fee is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the value of the Company’s net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month. For purposes of calculating the management fee, net assets means the Company’s total net assets determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP. For the first calendar month in which the Company had operations, net assets were measured as of June 1, 2022, the date on which the Company broke escrow. In addition, the Adviser waived its management fee through November 2022, the first six months following June 1, 2022, the date on which the Company broke escrow for its continuous offering. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, base management fees were $5,756, none of which was waived. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, base management fees were $1,396, of which $877 was waived.

Incentive Fee

The Incentive Fee consists of two parts: the Investment Income Incentive Fee and the Capital Gains Incentive Fee (each defined below) (collectively referred to as the “Incentive Fee”).

Investment Income Incentive Fee

The Investment Income Incentive Fee is calculated based on the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, which means consolidated interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees (other than fees for providing managerial assistance), such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses accrued for the quarter (including the management fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement entered into between the Company and the Administrator, and any interest expense or fees on any credit facilities or outstanding debt and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred shares, but excluding the Incentive Fee and any distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees).

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero-coupon securities), accrued income that has not yet been received in cash. For the avoidance of doubt, Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

appreciation or depreciation. The impact of any expense support payments and recoupments are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income.

Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, is compared to a hurdle of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized) (the “Hurdle Rate”). The Company will pay the Adviser an incentive fee quarterly in arrears with respect to the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in each calendar quarter as follows:

• Hurdle Rate Return: No incentive fee based on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income does not exceed the Hurdle Rate;

• Catch-Up: 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than a 1.4286% (5.714% annualized) rate of return in any such calendar quarter (the “Catch-Up”), which is intended to provide the Adviser with approximately 12.5% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income as if the Hurdle Rate did not apply, if the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income exceeds the Hurdle Rate in any calendar quarter; and

• 87.5/12.5 Split: 12.5% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income, if any, that exceeds a 1.4286% (5.714% annualized) rate of return in such calendar quarter so that once the Hurdle Rate is reached and the Catch-Up is achieved, 12.5% of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income thereafter is allocated to the Adviser.

The Adviser waived the Investment Income Incentive Fee through November 2022, the first six months following June 1, 2022, the date on which the Company broke escrow for its continuous offering.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Investment Income Incentive Fee was $5,754, none of which was waived. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Investment Income Incentive Fee was $1,240, of which $765 was waived.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee

In addition to the Investment Income Incentive Fee described above, commencing on September 30, 2022, the Adviser is entitled to receive a Capital Gains Incentive Fee (as defined below) under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Capital Gains Incentive Fee is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year. The Capital Gains Incentive Fee is equal to 12.5% of the realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the end of each fiscal year, computed net of all realized capital losses on a cumulative basis and unrealized capital depreciation, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gains Incentive Fee, provided, that the Capital Gains Incentive Fee determined as of September 30, 2022 is calculated for a period of shorter than 12 calendar months to take into account any realized capital gains computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation from the date of inception through the end of the fiscal year 2022 (the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee”). The payment obligation with respect to the Capital Gains Incentive Fee is allocated in the same manner across the Class S shares, Class D shares and Class I shares. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not incur any Capital Gains Incentive Fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Although the Capital Gains Incentive Fee due to the Adviser is not payable until it is contractually due based on the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company accrues this component at the end of each reporting period based on the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from inception through the

59

OAKTREE STRATEGIC CREDIT FUND

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

end of each reporting period, computed net of all realized capital losses on a cumulative basis and unrealized capital depreciation, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gains Incentive Fee, as contractually included in the calculation of the Capital Gains Incentive Fee, plus the cumulative amount of unrealized capital appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then the Company will accrue an incentive fee equal to 12.5% of such amount. If such amount is negative, then there will be no accrual for such period or an appropriate reduction in any amount previously accrued. U.S. GAAP requires that the Capital Gains Incentive Fee accrual consider cumulative unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a Capital Gains Incentive Fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, there were $2,141 of accrued Capital Gains Incentive Fees. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, there were no accrued Capital Gains Incentive Fees. As of December 31, 2023, there were $2,419 of accrued Capital Gains Incentive Fees accrued since inception.

Administration Agreement

Effective as of February 3, 2022, the Company has entered into an Administration Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Administration Agreement”) with Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of the Adviser. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Administrator furnishes the Company with office facilities (certain of which are located in buildings owned by a Brookfield affiliate), equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and record keeping services at such facilities. Under the Administration Agreement, the Administrator performs, or oversees the performance of, the Company’s required administrative services, which include, among other things, providing assistance in accounting, legal, compliance, operations, technology and investor relations, and being responsible for the financial records that the Company is required to maintain and preparing reports to shareholders and reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the Administrator assists the Company in determining and publishing the NAV, overseeing the preparation and filing of tax returns and the printing and dissemination of reports to the Company’s shareholders, and generally overseeing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Company by others.

Payments under the Administration Agreement are equal to an amount that reimburses the Administrator for its costs and expenses incurred in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement and providing personnel and facilities. The Company bears all of the costs and expenses of any sub-administration agreements that the Administrator enters into.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company bears its allocable portion of the costs of the compensation, benefits, and related administrative expenses (including travel expenses) of the Company’s officers who provide operational and administrative services under the Administration Agreement, their respective staffs and other professionals who provide services to the Company (including, in each case, employees of the Administrator or an affiliate) who assist with the preparation, coordination, and administration of the foregoing or provide other “back office” or “middle office” financial or operational services to the Company. The Company reimburses the Administrator (or its affiliates) for an allocable portion of the compensation paid by the Administrator (or its affiliates) to such individuals (based on a percentage of time such individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the Company’s business and affairs and to acting on the Company’s behalf). The Company’s Board reviews the fees payable under the Administration Agreement to determine that these fees are reasonable and comparable to administrative services charged by unaffiliated third parties.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company incurred $369 of expenses under the Administration Agreement, of which $302 was included in administrator expense, $61 was included in general and administrative expenses and $6, was included in organization expenses and amortization of continuous

offering costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred $176 if expenses under the Administration Agreement, of which $144, was included in administrator expense, $24 was included in general and administrative expenses and $8 was included in organization expenses and amortization of offering costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Certain Terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement

Each of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement is effective as of February 3, 2022.

Unless earlier terminated as described below, each of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement will remain in effect for a period of two years from the date it first becomes effective and will remain in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually by a majority of the Board or by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities and, in each case, a majority of the independent Trustees. The Company may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement or the Administration Agreement, without payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written notice. In addition, without payment of any penalty, the Adviser may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement upon 120 days’ written notice and the Administrator may terminate the Administration Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice. The Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment within the meaning of the Investment Company Act and related SEC guidance and interpretations.

Distribution Manager Agreement

Effective as of February 3, 2022, the Company has entered into a Distribution Manager Agreement (as amended and restated, the “Distribution Manager Agreement”) with Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions LLC (the “Distribution Manager”), an affiliate of the Adviser. Under the terms of the Distribution Manager Agreement, the Distribution Manager serves as the distribution manager for the Company’s initial offering of Common Shares. The Distribution Manager is entitled to receive distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 0.85% of the value of the Company’s net assets attributable to Class S shares as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month. The Distribution Manager is entitled to receive distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 0.25% of the value of the Company’s net assets attributable to Class D shares as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month. No distribution and/or shareholding servicing fees are paid with respect to Class I shares. The distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees are payable to the Distribution Manager, but the Distribution Manager anticipates that all or a portion of the shareholder servicing fees will be retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating broker-dealers.

The Company will cease paying the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee on the Class S shares and Class D shares on the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a listing of Class I shares, (ii) a merger or consolidation with or into another entity, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (iii) the date following the completion of the primary portion of the initial offering on which, in the aggregate, underwriting compensation from all sources in connection with the initial offering, including the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee and other underwriting compensation, is equal to 10% of the gross proceeds from the initial offering. In addition, consistent with the exemptive relief allowing the Company to offer multiple classes of shares, at the end of the month in which the Distribution Manager in conjunction with the transfer agent determines that total transaction or other fees, including upfront placement fees or brokerage commissions, and shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees paid with respect to the shares held in a shareholder’s account would exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such

61

OAKTREE STRATEGIC CREDIT FUND

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts, percentages and as otherwise indicated)

shares (or a lower limit as determined by the Distribution Manager or the applicable selling agent), the Company will cease paying the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee on the Class S shares and Class D shares in such shareholder’s account. Compensation paid with respect to the shares in a shareholder’s account will be allocated among each share such that the compensation paid with respect to each individual share will not exceed 10% of the offering price of such share. The Company may modify this requirement in a manner that is consistent with applicable exemptive relief. At the end of such month, the applicable Class S shares or Class D shares in such shareholder’s account will convert into a number of Class I shares (including any fractional shares), with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such Class S or Class D shares.

The Distribution Manager is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

Either party may terminate the Distribution Manager Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party or immediately upon notice to the other party in the event such other party failed to comply with a material provision of the Distribution Manager Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Distribution Manager Agreement to pay the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees with respect to the Class S and Class D shares will survive termination of the agreement until such shares are no longer outstanding (including such shares that have been converted into Class I shares, as described above).

Distribution and Servicing Plan

Effective as of February 3, 2022, the Company established a distribution and servicing plan (the “Distribution and Servicing Plan”). The following table shows the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees the Company pays the Distribution Manager with respect to the Class S, Class D and Class I on an annualized basis as a percentage of the Company’s NAV for such class.

Shareholder Servicing and/or Distribution Fee as a % of NAV
Class I shares	—	%
Class S shares	0.85	%
Class D shares	0.25	%

The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees is paid monthly in arrears, calculated using the NAV of the applicable class as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month and subject to FINRA and other limitations on underwriting compensation. Class I shares are not subject to a shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee.

The Distribution Manager reallows (pay) all or a portion of the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees to participating brokers and servicing brokers for ongoing shareholder services performed by such brokers, and will waive shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees to the extent a broker is not eligible to receive it for failure to provide such services. Because the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees with respect to Class S shares and Class D shares are calculated based on the aggregate NAV for all of the outstanding shares of each such class, it reduces the NAV with respect to all shares of each such class, including shares issued under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan.

Broker eligibility to receive the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee is conditioned on a broker providing the following ongoing services with respect to the Class S or Class D shares: assistance with recordkeeping, answering investor inquiries regarding the Company, including regarding distribution payments and reinvestments, helping investors understand their investments upon their request, and assistance with share

repurchase requests. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are ongoing fees that are not paid at the time of purchase.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded distribution and shareholder servicing fees of $1,281, primarily all of which were attributable to Class S shares. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded distribution and shareholder servicing fees of $199, primarily all of which were attributable to Class S shares.

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

Effective as of February 3, 2022, the Company has entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Support Agreement”) with the Adviser. The Adviser may elect to pay certain expenses (each, an “Expense Payment”), provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any interest or distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees of the Company. Any Expense Payment that the Adviser has committed to pay must be paid by the Adviser to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than forty-five days after such commitment was made in writing, and/or offset against amounts due from the Company to the Adviser or its affiliates.

Following any calendar month in which Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Company’s shareholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar month (the amount of such excess being hereinafter referred to as “Excess Operating Funds”), the Company shall pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof, to the Adviser until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Adviser to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar month have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company shall be referred to herein as a “Reimbursement Payment.” “Available Operating Funds” means the sum of (i) net investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gains reduced by net long-term capital losses), (ii) net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above).

The Company’s obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment shall automatically become a liability of the Company on the last business day of the applicable calendar month, except to the extent the Adviser has waived its right to receive such payment for the applicable month.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Adviser did not make any Expense Payments. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company made reimbursement payments of $1,045 to the Adviser. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Adviser made Expense Payments in the amount of $852. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Adviser waived its right to receive a Reimbursement Payment from the Company and as of December 31, 2022 no Reimbursement Payments were made to the Adviser. As of December 31, 2023, there were no amounts due to the Adviser from the Company.

Business Overview

We are a Delaware statutory trust formed on November 24, 2021 and are structured as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. On February 3, 2022, we elected to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually to be treated as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Effective as of February 3, 2022, we are externally managed by the Adviser pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (as amended and restated, the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), between us and the Adviser. The Adviser is a subsidiary of Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (“OCG”). In 2019, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield”) acquired a majority economic interest in OCG. OCG operates as an independent business within Brookfield, with its own product offerings and investment, marketing and support teams.

Our investment objective is to generate stable current income and long-term capital appreciation. We seek to meet our investment objective by primarily investing in private debt opportunities.

We have the authority to issue an unlimited number of common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Shares”). We are offering on a best efforts, continuous basis up to $5.0 billion aggregate offering price of Common Shares (the “Maximum Offering Amount”) pursuant to an offering registered with the SEC. We offer to sell any combination of three classes of Common Shares, Class S shares, Class D shares and Class I shares, with a dollar value up to the Maximum Offering Amount. The share classes have different ongoing distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees.

We accepted purchase orders and held investors’ funds in an interest-bearing escrow account until we received purchase orders for Common Shares of at least $100.0 million, excluding subscriptions by Oaktree Fund GP I, L.P. in respect of the Class I shares purchased by Oaktree Fund GP I, L.P. prior to March 31, 2022.

As of June 1, 2022, we had satisfied the minimum offering requirement and our board of trustees (the “Board of Trustees” or the “Board”) had authorized the release of proceeds from escrow. As of December 31, 2023, we have issued and sold 57,153,825 Class I shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1,354.6 million of which $100.0 million was purchased by an affiliate of the Adviser. As of December 31, 2023, we have issued and sold 27,196,230 Class S shares for an aggregate purchase price of $639.5 million. As of December 31, 2023, we have issued and sold 22,314 Class D shares for an aggregate purchase price of $0.5 million.

Business Environment and Developments

Global financial markets have experienced an increase in volatility as concerns about the impact of higher inflation, elevated interest rates, a potential slowdown in economic activity and the current conflicts in the Middle East have weighed on market participants. These factors have created disruptions in supply chains and economic activity and have had a particularly adverse impact on certain companies in the energy, raw materials and transportation sectors, among others. These uncertainties can ultimately impact the overall supply and demand of the market through changing spreads, deal terms and structures and equity purchase price multiples.

We are unable to predict the full effects of these macroeconomic events or how they might evolve. We continue to closely monitor the impact these events have on our business, industry and portfolio companies and will provide constructive solutions where necessary.

Against this backdrop, we believe attractive risk-adjusted returns can be achieved by making loans to middle market companies that typically possess resilient business models with strong underlying fundamentals.

68

Given the breadth of the investment platform and decades of credit investing experience of Oaktree and its affiliates, we believe that we have the resources and experience to source, diligence and structure investments in these companies and are well placed to generate attractive returns for investors.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Fair Value Measurements

Our Adviser, as the valuation designee of our Board pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, determines the fair value of our assets on at least a quarterly basis in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices over entity-specific inputs. Where observable prices or inputs are not available or reliable, valuation techniques are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments’ complexity.

Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

• Level 1 — Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date.

• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data at the measurement date for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the Adviser’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

If inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, an investment’s level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Adviser’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. This includes investment securities that are valued using “bid” and “ask” prices obtained from independent third party pricing services or directly from brokers. These investments may be classified as Level 3 because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities or may require adjustments for investment- specific factors or restrictions.

Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value. As such, the Adviser obtains and analyzes readily available market quotations provided by pricing vendors and brokers for all of our investments for which quotations are available. In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing vendors and brokers use observable market information, including both binding and non-binding indicative quotations.

The Adviser seeks to obtain at least two quotations for the subject or similar securities, typically from pricing vendors. If the Adviser is unable to obtain two quotes from pricing vendors, or if the prices obtained from pricing vendors are not within the Adviser’s set threshold, the Adviser seeks to obtain a quote directly from a

69

broker making a market for the asset. The Adviser evaluates the quotations provided by pricing vendors and brokers based on available market information, including trading activity of the subject or similar securities, or by performing a comparable security analysis to ensure that fair values are reasonably estimated. The Adviser also performs back-testing of valuation information obtained from pricing vendors and brokers against actual prices received in transactions. In addition to ongoing monitoring and back-testing, the Adviser performs due diligence procedures over pricing vendors to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process. Generally, the Adviser does not adjust any of the prices received from these sources.

If the quotations obtained from pricing vendors or brokers are determined not to be reliable or are not readily available, the Adviser values such investments using any of three different valuation techniques. The first valuation technique is the transaction precedent technique, which utilizes recent or expected future transactions of the investment to determine fair value, to the extent applicable. The second valuation technique is an analysis of the enterprise value (“EV”) of the portfolio company. EV means the entire value of the portfolio company to a market participant, including the sum of the values of debt and equity securities used to capitalize the enterprise at a point in time. The EV analysis is typically performed to determine (i) the value of equity investments, (ii) whether there is credit impairment for debt investments and (iii) the value for debt investments that we are deemed to control under the Investment Company Act. To estimate the EV of a portfolio company, the Adviser analyzes various factors, including the portfolio company’s historical and projected financial results, macroeconomic impacts on the company and competitive dynamics in the company’s industry. the Adviser also utilizes some or all of the following information based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company: (i) valuations of comparable public companies, (ii) recent sales of private and public comparable companies in similar industries or having similar business or earnings characteristics, (iii) purchase prices as a multiple of their earnings or cash flow, (iv) the portfolio company’s ability to meet its forecasts and its business prospects, (v) a discounted cash flow analysis, (vi) estimated liquidation or collateral value of the portfolio company’s assets and (vii) offers from third parties to buy the portfolio company. The Adviser may probability weight potential sale outcomes with respect to a portfolio company when uncertainty exists as of the valuation date. The third valuation technique is a market yield technique, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired debt investments. In the market yield technique, a current price is imputed for the investment based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured investment with a similar level of risk, and the Adviser considers the current contractual interest rate, the capital structure and other terms of the investment relative to our risk and the specific investment. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the investment relative to the EV of the portfolio company. As debt investments held by us are substantially illiquid with no active transaction market, the Adviser depends on primary market data, including newly funded transactions and industry specific market movements, as well as secondary market data with respect to high yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable.

The Adviser estimates the fair value of certain privately held warrants using a Black Scholes pricing model, which includes an analysis of various factors and subjective assumptions, including the current stock price (by using an EV analysis as described above), the expected period until exercise, expected volatility of the underlying stock price, expected dividends and the risk free rate. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.

The fair value of our investments as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 was determined by the Adviser, as our valuation designee. We have and will continue to engage independent valuation firms each quarter to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of a portion of our portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment.

Certain factors that may be considered in determining the fair value of our investments include the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s earnings and its ability to make payments on its indebtedness, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparison to comparable publicly-

70

traded companies, discounted cash flow and other relevant factors. Because such valuations, and particularly valuations of private securities and private companies, are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on estimates, Oaktree’s determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these securities existed. Due to these uncertainties, Oaktree’s fair value determinations may cause our net asset value on a given date to materially understate or overstate the value that we may ultimately realize upon the sale of one or more of our investments.

When we determine our net asset value as of the last day of a month that is not also the last day of a calendar quarter, we intend to update the value of securities with reliable market quotations to the most recent market quotation. For securities without reliable market quotations, pursuant to our valuation policy, the Adviser’s valuation team will generally value such assets at the most recent quarterly valuation or, in the case of securities acquired after such date, cost, unless, in either case, the Adviser determines that since the most recent quarter end or the date of acquisition for securities acquired after quarter end, as the case may be, a significant observable change has occurred with respect to the investment (which determination may be as a result of a material event at a portfolio company, material change in market spreads, secondary market transaction in the securities of an investment or otherwise). If the Adviser determines such a change has occurred with respect to one or more investments, the Adviser will determine whether to update the value for each relevant investment using a range of values from an independent valuation firm, where applicable, in accordance with our valuation policy. Additionally, the Adviser may otherwise determine to update the most recent quarter end valuation of an investment without reliable market quotations that the Adviser considers to be material to us using a range of values from an independent valuation firm.

As of December 31, 2023, we held $2,857.8 million of investments at fair value, up from $1,927.2 million held at September 30, 2023, primarily driven by new originations funded primarily by cash proceeds from our continuous public offering.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenues in the form of interest income on debt investments and, to a lesser extent, capital gains and distributions, if any, on equity securities that we may acquire in portfolio companies. Some of our investments provide for deferred interest payments or payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest income. The principal amount of the debt investments and any accrued but unpaid interest generally becomes due at the maturity date.

Interest Income

Interest income, adjusted for accretion of original issue discount (“OID”), is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are expected to be collected. We stop accruing interest on investments when it is determined that interest is no longer collectible. Investments that are expected to pay regularly scheduled interest in cash are generally placed on non- accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest cash payments will be collected. Cash interest payments received on investments may be recognized as income or a return of capital depending upon management’s judgment. A non- accrual investment is restored to accrual status if past due principal and interest are paid in cash, and the portfolio company, in management’s judgment, is likely to continue timely payment of its remaining obligations. As of December 31, 2023, there was one investment on non-accrual status that in the aggregate represented 0.4% and 0.2% of total debt investments at cost and fair value, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, there were no investments on non-accrual status.

In connection with our investment in a portfolio company, we sometimes receive nominal cost equity that is valued as part of the negotiation process with the portfolio company. When we receive nominal cost equity, we allocate our cost basis in the investment between debt securities and the nominal cost equity at the time of origination. Any resulting discount from recording the loan, or otherwise purchasing a security at a discount, is accreted into interest income over the life of the loan.

71

For our secured borrowings, the interest earned on the entire loan balance is recorded within interest income and the interest earned by the counterparty is recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

PIK Interest Income

Our investments in debt securities may contain PIK interest provisions. PIK interest, which generally represents contractually deferred interest added to the loan balance that is generally due at the end of the loan term, is generally recorded on the accrual basis to the extent such amounts are expected to be collected. We generally cease accruing PIK interest if there is insufficient value to support the accrual or if we do not expect the portfolio company to be able to pay all principal and interest due. Our decision to cease accruing PIK interest on a loan or debt security involves subjective judgments and determinations based on available information about a particular portfolio company, including whether the portfolio company is current with respect to its payment of principal and interest on its loans and debt securities; financial statements and financial projections for the portfolio company; our assessment of the portfolio company’s business development success; information obtained by us in connection with periodic formal update interviews with the portfolio company’s management and, if appropriate, the private equity sponsor; and information about the general economic and market conditions in which the portfolio company operates.

Our determination to cease accruing PIK interest is generally made well before our full write-down of a loan or debt security. In addition, if it is subsequently determined that we will not be able to collect any previously accrued PIK interest, the fair value of the loans or debt securities would be reduced by the amount of such previously accrued, but uncollectible, PIK interest. The accrual of PIK interest on our debt investments increases the recorded cost bases of these investments in our consolidated financial statements including for purposes of computing the capital gains incentive fee payable by us to the Adviser. To maintain our status as a RIC, certain income from PIK interest may be required to be distributed to our shareholders even though we have not yet collected the cash and may never do so.

Portfolio Composition

As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of our investment portfolio was $2,857.8 million and was composed of investments in 143 portfolio companies. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of our investment portfolio was $1,927.2 million and was composed of investments in 123 portfolio companies.

Discussion and Analysis of Results and Operations

Results of Operations

The principal measure of our financial performance is the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations, which includes net investment income, net realized gains (losses) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Net investment income is the difference between our income from interest income and fee income and net expenses. Net realized gains (losses) on investments is the difference between the proceeds received from dispositions of portfolio investments and their stated costs. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is the net change in the fair value of our investment portfolio during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation (depreciation) when gains or losses are realized. The net increase or decrease in net assets from operations may vary substantially from period to period as a result of various factors, including the recognition of realized gains and losses and net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation.

Comparison of three months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022

Investment Income

Total investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was $71,594 and consisted of $71,193 of interest income primarily from portfolio investments (including $621 of PIK interest income) and $401 of fee income. Total investment income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $14,882 and consisted of $14,795 of interest income primarily from portfolio investments (including $527 of PIK interest income) and $87 of fee income. The increase in total investment income was primarily driven by the increase in the size of the investment portfolio. Based on fair value as of December 31, 2023, the weighted average yield on our debt investments was 11.5%, up from 11.1% as of December 31, 2022.

Expenses

Net expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2023 were $35,791, up significantly from $4,785 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase was mainly driven by a larger investment portfolio attributable to new capital raised pursuant to our continuous public offering. Net expenses consisted of the following:

Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

Net unrealized appreciation was $16,919 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, which was primarily driven by unrealized appreciation across the investment portfolio. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, this consisted of $23.0 million of net unrealized appreciation on debt investments, partially

75

offset by $4.9 million of net unrealized depreciation of foreign currency forward contracts, $0.7 million of net unrealized depreciation on equity investments and $0.5 million of net unrealized depreciation related to exited investments (a portion of which resulted in a reclassification to realized gains).

Net unrealized depreciation was $2,842 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, which was primarily driven by unrealized losses on debt investments related to credit spread widening.

Net Realized Gains (Losses)

Net realized gains were $453 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 which was primarily related to foreign currency forward contracts, partially offset by realized losses related to the exits of certain investments. Net realized losses were $660 for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect to generate cash from (1) the cash proceeds from our continuous public offering, (2) cash flows from operations, including earnings on investments, as well as interest earned from the temporary investment of cash in cash- equivalents, U.S. high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less, (3) borrowings from banks, including secured borrowings, unsecured debt offerings, and any other financing arrangements we may enter into in the future and (4) any future offerings of equity or debt securities.

Our primary use of cash is for (1) investments in portfolio companies and other investments, (2) the cost of operations (including our expenses, the Management Fee and the Incentive Fee), (3) debt service, repayment and other financing costs of our borrowings, (4) funding repurchases under our share repurchase program, and (5) cash distributions to the shareholders.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $49.8 million. During that period, $950.2 million of cash was used in operating activities, primarily consisting of cash used to fund new investments, partially offset by proceeds from the sales and repayments of investments. During the same period, cash provided by financing activities was $900.8 million, due primarily from $468.8 million of proceeds from the issuance of common shares, $348.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of unsecured notes and $125.0 million of net borrowings under the credit facilities, partially offset by $31.5 million of distributions paid to shareholders and $4.4 million of deferred financing and offering costs paid.

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, we experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $22.1 million. During that period, $237.5 million of cash was used in operating activities, primarily consisting of cash used to fund new investments, partially offset by proceeds from the sales and repayments of investments. During the same period, cash provided by financing activities was $216.1 million, due primarily from $129.7 million of proceeds from the issuance of common shares and $95.0 million of net borrowings under the credit facility, partially offset by $8.4 million of distributions paid to shareholders.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $101.3 million of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash of $8.3 million), portfolio investments (at fair value) of $2,857.8 million, $21.3 million of interest receivable, $2.4 million of due from broker, $1,215.0 million of undrawn capacity on our credit facilities (subject to borrowing base and other limitations), $23.4 million of net payables from unsettled transactions and $570.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities.

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our portfolio companies. As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $300,608 and $224,611, respectively, of unfunded commitments to provide debt financing to certain of our portfolio companies. Such commitments are subject to the portfolio company’s satisfaction of certain financial and nonfinancial covenants and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Net Asset Value per Share and Offering Price

We determine NAV per share for each class of shares as of the last calendar day of each month. Share issuances pursuant to accepted monthly subscriptions are effective the first calendar day of each month. Shares are issued and sold at a purchase price equivalent to the most recent NAV per share available for each share class, which will be the prior calendar day NAV per share (i.e. the prior month-end NAV). The following table summarizes each month-end NAV per share for Class I, Class S and Class D shares during the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

We have adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which we will reinvest all cash dividends declared by the Board on behalf of our shareholders who do not elect to receive their dividends in cash as provided below. As a result, if the Board authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend or other distribution, then shareholders who have not opted out of our distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares, rather than receiving the cash dividend or other distribution. Distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places.

Share Repurchase Program

At the discretion of our Board of Trustees, during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 we commenced a share repurchase program pursuant to which we intend to offer to repurchase up to 5% of our Common Shares outstanding (by number of shares or aggregate NAV) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. Our Board of Trustees may amend or suspend the share repurchase program at any time if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. Following any such suspension, the Board of Trustees will consider on at least a quarterly basis whether the continued suspension of the share repurchase program is in the best interest of us and shareholders, and will reinstate the share repurchase program when and if appropriate and subject to its fiduciary duty to us and shareholders.

We intend to conduct repurchase offers under the share repurchase program pursuant to tender offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act. All shares purchased by us pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired.

Under our share repurchase program, to the extent we offer to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, we expect to repurchase shares at the expiration of the tender offer at a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter (the “Valuation Date”), except that shares that have a prospective repurchase date that is within the one-year period following the original issue date of the shares will be subject to an early repurchase deduction of 2% of such NAV (an “Early Repurchase Deduction”). The one-year holding period will be deemed satisfied if the shares to be repurchased would have been outstanding for one year or longer as of the subscription closing date immediately following the applicable Valuation Date, which subscription closing date the Company deems the prospective repurchase date for the applicable offer. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by us for the benefit of remaining shareholders.

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased pursuant to such tender offers an aggregate of 369,913 Class I and 76,176 Class S shares. The following table presents the share repurchases completed during the three months ended December 31, 2023:

Repurchase Pricing Date	Total Number of Shares Repurchased (all classes)		Percentage of Outstanding Shares Repurchased (1)			Price Paid Per Share		Amount Repurchased (all classes)(2)
December 31, 2023		446,089		0.69	%	$	23.62	$	10,526

(1) Percentage is based on total shares as of the close of the previous calendar quarter.

(2) Amounts shown net of Early Repurchase Deduction, where applicable.

Leverage

To seek to enhance our returns, we use and expect to continue to use leverage as market conditions permit and at the discretion of the Adviser. However, as a BDC, subject to certain limited exceptions, we are currently

80

only allowed to borrow amounts in accordance with the asset coverage requirements in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). On March 23, 2018, the Small Business Credit Availability Act (the “SBCAA”) was enacted into law. The SBCAA, among other things, amended Section 61(a) of the Investment Company Act to add a new Section 61(a)(2) that reduces the asset coverage requirements applicable to BDCs from 200% to 150% so long as the BDC meets certain disclosure requirements, which we have made, and obtains certain approvals, which we have obtained. Accordingly, we are subject to an asset coverage requirement of 150%. We intend to use leverage in the form of borrowings, including loans from certain financial institutions, and the issuance of debt securities. We may also use leverage in the form of the issuance of preferred shares, but do not currently intend to do so. In determining whether to borrow money, we will analyze the maturity, covenant package and rate structure of the proposed borrowings as well as the risks of such borrowings compared to our investment outlook. Any such leverage is expected to be applied on a position-by-position basis, meaning little-to-no leverage may be applied to certain investments, while others may have more leverage applied. Any such leverage would also be expected to increase the total capital available for investment by the Company. We may also create leverage by securitizing our assets (including in CLOs) and retaining the equity portion of the securitized vehicle.

ING Credit Agreement

On March 25, 2022 (the “ING Closing Date”), we entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “ING Credit Agreement”) among us, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and ING Capital LLC (“ING”), as administrative agent.

Effective on and as of May 25, 2022, we entered into an incremental commitment and assumption agreement (the “Incremental Commitment and Assumption Agreement”) among us, as borrower, the subsidiary guarantor party thereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantor”), ING, as administrative agent and issuing bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and MUFG Bank, LTD, (together with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, the “Assuming Lenders”). Pursuant to the Incremental Commitment and Assumption Agreement, among other things, each Assuming Lender (i) became a Lender (as defined in the ING Credit Agreement) under the ING Credit Agreement and (ii) agreed to make a Commitment (as defined in the ING Credit Agreement) to us in the amount of $150 million. The Incremental Commitment and Assumption Agreement increased the aggregate amount of Commitments under the ING Credit Agreement from $150 million to $450 million (the “Maximum Commitment”), subject to the lesser of (i) a borrowing base and (ii) the Maximum Commitment, and provided that, with respect to any lender, its individual commitment is not exceeded. The revolving credit facility has a four year availability period (the “Availability Period”) during which loans may be made and the ING Credit Agreement has a stated maturity dated that is five years from the ING Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”). Following the Availability Period we will be required in certain circumstances to prepay loans prior to the Maturity Date. The ING Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount of $25 million. Borrowings under the ING Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including making investments and permitted distributions.

Effective on and as of October 6, 2022, we entered into a subsequent incremental commitment and assumption agreement (the “Subsequent Incremental Commitment and Assumption Agreement”) among us, as borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantor, ING, as administrative agent and issuing bank, and Apple Bank For Savings, as an Assuming Lender. Pursuant to the Subsequent Incremental Commitment and Assumption Agreement, Apple Bank For Savings (i) became a Lender under the ING Credit Agreement and (ii) agreed to make a Commitment to us in the amount of $40 million. The Subsequent Incremental Commitment and Assumption Agreement increased the aggregate amount of Commitments under the ING Credit Agreement from $450 million to $490 million.

Effective on and as of June 28, 2023 (the “New Effective Date”), we entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “ING Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the ING Credit Agreement. As a result of the ING Credit Agreement Amendment, the ING Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $1,110 million (the “Increased Maximum Commitment”), increased from $490 million, subject to the lesser of

81

(i) a borrowing base and (ii) the Increased Maximum Commitment, and provided that, with respect to any lender, its individual commitment is not exceeded. The revolving credit facility has a four year availability period (the “New Availability Period”) commencing from the New Effective Date during which loans may be made and a stated maturity date that is five years from the New Effective Date (the “New Maturity Date”). Following the New Availability Period, we will be required in certain circumstances to prepay loans prior to the New Maturity Date. The ING Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit during the New Availability Period in an aggregate amount of $25 million. Borrowings under the ING Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including making investments and permitted distributions.

Effective on and as of August 15, 2023, we entered into a subsequent incremental commitment and assumption agreement (the “Second Subsequent Incremental Commitment and Assumption Agreement”) among us, as borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantor, ING, as administrative agent and issuing bank, and Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch and US Bank National Association, as Assuming Lenders. Pursuant to the Subsequent Incremental Commitment and Assumption Agreement, the Assuming Lenders (i) became Lenders under the ING Credit Agreement and (ii) agreed to make a Commitment to us in the aggregate amount of $75 million. The Second Subsequent Incremental Commitment and Assumption Agreement increased the aggregate amount of Commitments under the ING Credit Agreement from $1,110 million to $1,185 million.

All obligations under the ING Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest (subject to certain exceptions) in substantially all of the present and future property and assets of us and of the sole current and certain future subsidiaries of us and guaranteed by such subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the ING Credit Agreement shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (1) SOFR, as adjusted, plus 1.875% per annum or (2) the alternative base rate (which is the greatest of the (a) prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus ¹⁄₂ of 1%, (c) the overnight bank funding rate plus ¹⁄₂ of 1%, (d) certain rates based on SOFR and (e) 0) (“ABR”) plus 0.875% per annum. On and after the New Effective Date, borrowings under the ING Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (1) the SOFR, as adjusted, plus 2.15% per annum, or, following the first year after the New Effective Date, plus 2.05% per annum if the Company has and maintains an investment grade credit rating or (2) the alternative base rate (which is the greatest of the (a) prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus ¹⁄₂ of 1%, (c) the overnight bank funding rate plus ¹⁄₂ of 1%, (d) certain rates based on SOFR and (e) 0) (“ABR”) plus 1.15% per annum or, following the first year after the New Effective Date, plus 1.05% per annum if the Company has and maintains investment grade credit rating. We may elect either an ABR or SOFR borrowing at each drawdown request, and loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time at our option, subject to certain conditions. Prior to the New Effective Date, we paid a commitment fee at a rate of 0.375% per annum on the daily unused portion of the aggregate commitments under the ING Credit Agreement. On and after the New Effective Date, we will pay a commitment fee at a rate of 0.375% per annum on the daily unused portion of the aggregate commitments under the ING Credit Agreement, subject to increase to 1.00% per annum on the daily unused amount if the daily unused amount is greater than or equal to 65% of the aggregate commitments under the ING Credit Agreement.

At any time during the New Availability Period, the Borrower may propose an increase in the Increased Maximum Commitment to an amount not to exceed the greater of (a) $1,250.0 million and (b) 150% of shareholders’ equity as of the date on which such increased amount is to be effective, subject to certain conditions, including the consent of the lenders to increase their commitments and of ING.

We have made customary representations and warranties and are required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the ING Credit Agreement based on the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Borrowings under the ING Credit Agreement are subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the Investment Company Act.

82

The ING Credit Agreement contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, ING may terminate the commitments and declare the outstanding loans and all other obligations under the ING Credit Agreement immediately due and payable.

As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, we had $420.0 million and $320.0 million outstanding under the ING Credit Agreement. For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our borrowings under the ING Credit Agreement bore interest at a weighted average rate of 7.69% and 5.81%, respectively. We recorded $9,317 and $2,086 of interest expense (inclusive of fees), respectively, related to the ING Credit Agreement for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

JPM SPV Facility

On February 24, 2023 (the “JPM Closing Date”), we entered into a loan and security agreement (as amended, the “JPM Loan and Security Agreement”) among OSCF Lending SPV, LLC (“OSCF Lending SPV”), a wholly owned subsidiary of us, as borrower, us, as parent and servicer, Citibank, N.A., as collateral agent and securities intermediary, Virtus Group, LP, as collateral administrator, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPM”), as administrative agent, pursuant to which JPM agreed to extend credit to OSCF Lending SPV in an aggregate principal amount up to $150 million at any one time outstanding.

The JPM Loan and Security Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility that has a three-year reinvestment period (the “JPM Availability Period”) and a stated maturity date that is five years after the JPM Closing Date. Subject to certain conditions, including consent of the lenders and JPM, as administrative agent, at any time during the JPM Availability Period, OSCF Lending SPV may propose one or more increases in the JPM Maximum Commitment up to an amount not to exceed $500 million. Borrowings under the JPM Loan and Security Agreement shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the forward-looking term rate with a three-month tenor, based on the SOFR as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator), and as published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (or a successor administrator), plus 2.95%.

The obligations of OSCF Lending SPV under the JPM Loan and Security Agreement are secured by all of the assets held by OSCF Lending SPV, including certain loans sold or to be sold or transferred or to be transferred by us to OSCF Lending SPV (such loans, the “JPM Transferred Loans”) pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Participation Agreement, dated as of the JPM Closing Date (the “JPM Sale Agreement” and, together with the JPM Loan and Security Agreement, the “JPM Agreements”), between OSCF Lending SPV, as buyer, and we, as seller, pursuant to which we will sell JPM Transferred Loans to OSCF Lending SPV from time to time.

SMBC SPV Facility

Effective on and as of September 29, 2023 (the “SMBC Closing Date”), we entered into a loan and security agreement (as amended, the “SMBC Loan and Security Agreement”) among OSCF Lending III SPV, LLC (“OSCF Lending III SPV”), a wholly owned subsidiary of us, as borrower, us, as transferor and servicer, Citibank, N.A., as the account bank, Virtus Group, LP, as collateral custodian, the lenders party thereto, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, pursuant to which SMBC agreed to extend credit to OSCF Lending III SPV in an aggregate principal amount up to $150 million at any one time outstanding.

Effective on and as of December 22, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Loan and Servicing Agreement among OSCF Lending III SPV, the Company, Citibank, N.A., Virtus Group, LP and SMBC, which amended the SMBC Loan and Security Agreement to adjust the concentration limits set forth therein for certain large middle market loan assets that do not contain a maintenance covenant. The SMBC Loan and Security Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility that has a three-year reinvestment period (the “SMBC Availability Period”) and a stated maturity date that is five years after the SMBC Closing Date. Borrowings under the SMBC Loan and Servicing Agreement shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the request of OSCF Lending III SPV, either (1) SOFR plus 2.45% up to and including 3.00% depending on the collateral securing the facility or (2) the base rate (which is the greatest of the (a) prime rate, (b) federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (c) zero (0%) and (d) one month SOFR plus 1%) plus 1.45% up to and including 2.00% depending on the collateral securing the facility. We are required to pay a non-usage fee of 0.50% on undrawn borrowings during the first three months of the facility and thereafter 0.50% or 0.75% during the remainder of the SMBC Availability Period depending on amounts borrowed by us under the facility.

CIBC SPV Facility

Effective on and as of November 21, 2023 (the “CIBC Closing Date”), we entered into a loan and servicing agreement (as amended, the “CIBC Loan and Servicing Agreement”) among OSCF Lending V SPV, LLC (“OSCF Lending V SPV”), a wholly owned subsidiary of us, as borrower, we, as transferor and servicer, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as securities intermediary, collateral custodian, collateral agent and collateral administrator, the lenders party thereto, and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”), as administrative agent, pursuant to which CIBC agreed to extend credit to OSCF Lending V SPV in an aggregate principal amount up to $150 million (the “ CIBC Maximum Commitment”) at any one time outstanding.

84

The CIBC Loan and Servicing Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility that has a two-year reinvestment period (the “CIBC Availability Period”) and a stated maturity date that is two years after the CIBC Closing Date. Subject to certain conditions, including consent of the lenders and CIBC as administrative agent, during the CIBC Availability Period, OSCF Lending V SPV may propose up to four increases in the CIBC Maximum Commitment up to an amount not to exceed $500 million in the aggregate.

Borrowings under the CIBC Loan and Servicing Agreement shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars and bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the request of OSCF Lending V SPV, as borrower, either (1) the SOFR, plus 1.95% or (2) the base rate (which is the greatest of the (a) prime rate, (b) federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (c) zero (0%) and (d) one month SOFR plus 1%) plus 0.95%. The applicable spread otherwise in effect shall be increased by 2% per annum after the stated maturity date or when an event of default has occurred and is continuing.

The CIBC Loan and Servicing Agreement contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, CIBC, as administrative agent, may terminate the commitments and declare the outstanding borrowings and all other obligations under the CIBC Loan and Servicing Agreement immediately due and payable.

Borrowings under the CIBC Loan and Servicing Agreement are subject to various covenants as well as the asset coverage requirement contained in the Investment Company Act.

2028 Unsecured Notes

On November 14, 2023, we issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.400% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Unsecured Notes”) in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act pursuant to an indenture, dated as of November 14, 2023 (the “Base Indenture”), between us and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Notes Trustee”), and (2) a first supplemental indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) to the Base Indenture.

The 2028 Unsecured Notes mature on November 14, 2028, unless previously redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The 2028 Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.400% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on May 14 and November 14 of each year, commencing on May 14, 2024. The 2028 Unsecured Notes are our direct, unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to its future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2028 Unsecured Notes; equal in right of payment to its existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of its secured indebtedness (including existing unsecured indebtedness that we later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness (including trade payables) incurred by its subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.

85

The Indenture contains certain covenants, including a covenant requiring us to comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a)(1) and (2) of the Investment Company Act, or any successor provisions, but giving effect to any exemptive relief granted to us by the SEC and to provide financial information to the holders of the 2028 Unsecured Notes and the Notes Trustee if we should no longer be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are set forth in the Indenture.

In connection with the 2028 Unsecured Notes, we entered into an interest rate swap to more closely align the interest rate payable on the 2028 Unsecured Notes with its investment portfolio, which consists of predominately floating rate loans. Under the interest rate swap agreement, we receive a fixed interest rate of 8.400% and pays a floating interest rate of the three-month SOFR plus 4.0405% on a notional amount of $350 million.

The below table presents the components of the carrying value of the 2028 Notes as of December 31, 2023:

($ in millions)
Principal	$	350.0
Unamortized financing costs		(4.2	)
Unaccreted discount		(1.7	)
Interest rate swap fair value adjustment		10.6
Net carrying value	$	354.7
Fair Value	$	369.2

The below table presents the components of interest and other debt expenses related to the 2028 Notes for the three months ended December 31, 2023:

Regulated Investment Company Status and Distributions

We anticipate that we will make quarterly distributions of at least 90% of our realized net ordinary income and net short- term capital gains in excess of our net long-term capital losses, if any, then available for distribution, each as determined by our Board in accordance with applicable law. Any distributions will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. We expect quarterly distributions to be paid from income primarily generated by interest earned on our investments, although distributions to shareholders may also include a return of capital.

We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually to be treated, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain RIC qualification, we must distribute to our shareholders, for each tax year, at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income” for that year. In order to avoid certain excise taxes imposed on RICs, we intend to distribute during each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of: (1) 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year; (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending on October 31 of the calendar year; and, (3) any undistributed ordinary income and capital gain net income for preceding years on which we paid no U.S. federal income tax less certain

86

over-distributions in prior years. In addition, although we currently intend to distribute realized net capital gains (i.e., net long term capital gains in excess of short term capital losses), if any, at least annually, we may in the future decide to retain such capital gains for investment, pay U.S. federal income tax on such amounts at regular corporate tax rates, and elect to treat such gains as deemed distributions to shareholders. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit the payment of any cash distributions and, to the extent that we issue senior securities, we will be prohibited from making distributions if doing so causes us to fail to maintain the asset coverage ratios stipulated by the Investment Company Act or if distributions are limited by the terms of any of our borrowings.

Depending on the level of taxable income and net capital gain earned in a year, we may choose to carry forward taxable income or net capital gain for distribution in the following year and pay the applicable U.S. federal excise tax. Distributions will be appropriately adjusted for any taxes payable by us or any direct or indirect subsidiary through which it invests (including any corporate, state, local, non-U.S. and withholding taxes). Any Incentive Fee to be paid to our Adviser will not be reduced to take into account any such taxes.

We may generate qualified net interest income or qualified net short-term capital gains that may be exempt from U.S. withholding tax when distributed to foreign shareholders. A RIC is permitted to designate distributions of qualified net interest income and qualified short-term capital gains as exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to non-U.S. shareholders with proper documentation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in the valuations of our investment portfolio and interest rates.

Valuation Risk

Our investments often do not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our Adviser, as the valuation designee appointed by our Board of Trustees

87

pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith and valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of judgment. In addition, our valuation methodology utilizes discount rates in part in valuing our investments, and changes in those discount rates may have an impact on the valuation of our investments. Accordingly, valuations by us do not necessarily represent the amounts which may eventually be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments. Estimated fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investment existed, and the differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates may affect both our cost of funding and our interest income from portfolio investments, cash and cash equivalents and idle funds investments. Our risk management procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risk, to set appropriate policies and to continually monitor these risks. Our investment income will be affected by changes in various interest rates, including SOFR, LIBOR, SONIA and prime rates, to the extent our debt investments include floating interest rates.

As of December 31, 2023, 88.6% of our debt investment portfolio at fair value bore interest at floating rates. As of September 30, 2023, 89.6% of our debt investment portfolio at fair value bore interest at floating rates. The composition of our floating rate debt investments by interest rate floor as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023 was as follows:

	December 31, 2023					September 30, 2023
($ in thousands)	Fair Value		% of Floating Rate Portfolio			Fair Value		% of Floating Rate Portfolio
0%	$	561,626		22.33	%	$	248,903		14.50	%
>0% and <1%		963,175		38.29			603,477		35.15
1%		797,985		31.72			681,256		39.68
>1%		192,639		7.66			183,272		10.67
Total	$	2,515,425		100.00	%	$	1,716,908		100.00	%

Based on our Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2023, the following table shows the approximate annualized net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations (excluding the impact of any potential incentive fees) of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates, assuming no changes in our investment and capital structure. However, there can be no assurances our portfolio companies will be able to meet their contractual obligations at any or all levels of increases in interest rates.

We regularly measure exposure to interest rate risk. We assess interest rate risk and manage our interest rate exposure on an ongoing basis by comparing our interest rate sensitive assets to our interest rate sensitive liabilities. Based on this review, we determine whether or not any hedging transactions are necessary to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates. The interest rate on the principal balance outstanding for primarily all floating rate loans is indexed to the SOFR and/or an alternate base rate, which typically resets semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly at the borrower’s option. The borrower may also elect to have multiple interest reset periods for each loan. The following table shows a comparison of the interest rate base for our outstanding debt investments, at principal, and our outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023:

	December 31, 2023				September 30, 2023

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,

89

can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in timely identifying, recording, processing, summarizing and reporting any material information relating to us that is required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
