Note 6. Borrowings

On April 20, 2023, Subsidiary I entered into a credit agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Secured Credit Facility”). The maximum principal amount of the Secured Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025 is $500 million, which can be drawn in U.S. dollars subject to certain conditions.

On October 11, 2024, Subsidiary I entered into a First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) with Subsidiary I, as borrower, the lenders from time to time parties thereto, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as syndication agent and calculation agent, GS ASL LLC, a administrative agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company, as collateral agent, collateral custodian and collateral administrator. The A&R Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Credit Agreement entered into on April 20, 2023 (the “Original Closing Date”), by and among Subsidiary I, as borrower, the lenders from time to time parties thereto, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as syndication agent and administrative agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company, as collateral agent, collateral custodian and collateral administrator.

The A&R Credit Agreement amends the Secured Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) increase the financing limit under the Secured Credit Facility from $300 million to $500 million, (ii) extend the Reinvestment Period to May 1, 2028, (iii) extend the Scheduled Maturity Date to May 1, 2030 and (iv) replace Goldman Sachs Bank USA as administrative agent with GS ASL LLC. The A&R Credit Agreement also amends the Secured Credit Facility to change the spread charged on borrowings under the Secured Credit Facility from a range of 3.25% to 3.50% (prior to the A&R Credit Agreement) to a range of 2.50% to 2.60%, depending on the percentage of loans in the collateral which constitute BSL loans.

Amounts drawn under the Secured Credit Facility will bear interest at Term SOFR plus a margin. Advances used to finance the purchase or origination of loans under the Secured Credit Facility initially bear interest at Term SOFR plus a spread of (i) with respect to which the BSL Percentage is 15% or higher on such day, 2.50% per annum and (ii) with respect to which the BSL Percentage is less than 15% on such day, 2.60% per annum. In addition, under the Secured Credit Facility, Subsidiary I is required to utilize a minimum percentage of the financing commitments (such amount, the “Minimum Utilization Amount”), with unused amounts below such Minimum Utilization Amount accruing a fee (“Minimum Utilization Fee”). As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no unused amounts subject to the Minimum Utilization Fee. Additionally, Subsidiary I is required to pay non-utilization fees (“Non-Utilization Fees”), on an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (x) the Adjusted Maximum Facility Amount in effect on such day over (y) the greater of the Minimum Utilization Amount and the Loan Amount on such day at a rate of 1.00% per annum. Each defined term without definition in this paragraph shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Secured Credit Facility.

The Secured Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including certain limitations on the activities of Subsidiary I, including limitations on incurrence of incremental indebtedness, and customary events of default. The Secured Credit Facility is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the assets of Subsidiary I and on any payments received by Subsidiary I in respect of those assets. Assets pledged to the lenders under the Secured Credit Facility will not be available to pay the other debts of the Company. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements under the Secured Credit Facility.

The estimated fair value of the Secured Credit Facility approximated the principal value of $444,500,000 on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and is categorized as Level III under the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.

Borrowings of Subsidiary I are considered borrowings of the Company for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act.
