Management’s Discussion of

Fund Performance (Unaudited)

 

 

 

Dear Shareholders:

We are pleased to present the annual report for the GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund (the “Fund” or “GTOC”), for the period ending December 31, 2025. The Fund has continued to experience steady asset growth, with total managed net assets reaching approximately $228 million as of December 31, 2025.

Market & Portfolio Commentary

The Fund’s Class I shares returned +6.11% during the period, outperforming a blended credit index of 50% high-yield bonds and 50% high-yield loans (commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds”) by approximately 300 basis points. The Fund’s monthly distribution rate remained stable at 6.5% on an annualized basis. As of period-end, the Fund had exposure to approximately 200 issuers, diversified across instrument, asset class, and industry. The Fund’s opportunistic and dynamic approach enabled the portfolio to source opportunities which we believe offer compelling risk-reward profiles and well-position the portfolio to achieve its target objective of capital appreciation and income generation.

Since launch in July 2025, the Fund has deployed capital across public and private exposures, capturing the full breadth of GoldenTree’s expertise within corporate credit, structured credit, and distressed. We remain selective and focused on idiosyncratic opportunities, identifying companies that are misunderstood by the market and offer potential attractive relative value. The Fund did not utilize leverage during the period.

As a percentage of total invested assets, the Fund’s portfolio consisted of 29% Private Credit, 29% Bonds, 18% Loans, 17% Structured Credit, and small allocations to Real Estate (2%), Distressed (1%), and Other (3%).

All asset classes contributed positively to returns, with Private Credit contributing 2.39%, Bonds contributing 1.92%, Loans contributing 0.85%, Structured Credit contributing 0.38%, Distressed contributing 0.34%, and Other contributing 0.58% to returns. Across asset classes, certain of the Fund’s larger positions benefited from realizing positive fundamental, operating, or idiosyncratic catalysts during the period.

The largest corporate industries in the Fund’s portfolio were Software/ Services, Specialty Retail, Pharmaceuticals, Food & Drug Retailers, and Health Services, which collectively represented about 30% of total invested assets. No single industry exceeds 12% of total invested assets.

Management’s Discussion of

Fund Performance (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

 

The portfolio ended the year with attractive convexity, high current income, and a focus on catalyst-driven investments offering multiple paths to unlock value. With ample buying power and a broad playbook, the Fund is well positioned to act opportunistically.

The chart above assumes an initial gross investment of $10,000 made on July 16, 2025 (inception of Class I offering).

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. Not all investors are eligible for Class I shares. The performance of the other classes will be less than the performance shown in the graph above due to different sales loads and expenses applicable to such class.

GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund

 

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

Note 1. Organization

 

GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund (together with its consolidated subsidiary, the “Fund”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that will make periodic repurchase offers for its securities, subject to certain conditions. The Fund commenced operations on July 16, 2025 (“Commencement of Operations”). The Fund is managed by GoldenTree Asset Management Credit Advisor LLC (the “Advisor”), which is registered as an investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Advisor is a wholly owned subsidiary of GoldenTree Asset Management LP, a private limited partnership which was founded in 2000 (collectively with the Advisor, “GoldenTree”). The Fund intends to elect to be treated, and to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund Cayman LP (the “Cayman SPV”), a Cayman limited partnership, was formed on August 6, 2025 to help facilitate trading certain investments in the Fund. The Cayman SPV is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund. GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund Cayman LLC (the “Cayman LLC”) acts as the General Partner of the Cayman SPV.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to achieve attractive risk-adjusted total returns by investing dynamically across a broad range of public and private credit markets. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund will seek income in addition to capital appreciation.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing opportunistically across credit markets, focusing primarily on credit investments and credit-related investments (collectively, “Credit Investments”). The Fund focuses on the following types of Credit Investments: private credit, public corporate credit, structured credit, and distressed investments. The Fund will participate in investments which the Advisor believes offer compelling risk-adjusted return potential and will dynamically adjust portfolio holdings over time based on the market environment. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in Credit Investments, which include foreign instruments (e.g., Credit Investments issued by developed and emerging market issuers) and illiquid and restricted securities. The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in illiquid or restricted securities. Although the Fund primarily makes investments denominated in U.S. dollars, the Fund may make investments denominated in other currencies.

The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in Credit Investments that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Credit Investments that are rated below investment grade (commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds”) are regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Because of the risks associated with investing in high yield securities, an investment in the Fund should be considered speculative. Some of the Credit Investments will have no credit rating at all.

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor) serves as the Fund’s principal underwriter and acts as the distributor of the Fund’s shares on a best efforts basis, subject to various conditions. The Fund offers six classes of Shares: Class I Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class T Shares, Class U Shares and Class U-2 Shares on a daily basis at the net asset value (“NAV”) per Share plus any applicable sales loads. During the reporting period, the Fund’s shares were offered for sale on a daily basis for all of its share classes.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company for the purposes of accounting and financial reporting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and the Cayman SPV. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. U.S. GAAP for an investment company requires investments to be recorded at fair value. The carrying value for all other assets and liabilities approximates their fair value.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses

Investment income , expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of average daily net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class, such as distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees are charged against the operations of that class.

Cash and Restricted Cash

Cash consists of U.S dollars and foreign currency. Cash collateral required to be posted pursuant to the Fund’s derivative contracts and investments sold short are stated separately as restricted cash on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had a restricted cash for investments sold short balance of $5,388.

Due from Brokers

Securities transactions of the Fund are primarily maintained, cleared and held by registered U.S. brokers/dealers pursuant to clearance agreements. At December 31, 2025, the due from brokers balance in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities includes deposits at the brokers and margin excess (deficit) from derivative contracts. As of December 31, 2025, due from brokers includes deposits and margin excess of $11.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded as of the applicable trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments as presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations reflects the net change in the fair value of investments, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized. See Note 3, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for further information about fair value measurements.

The Fund may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which the Fund sells securities it does not own whereby the Fund’s clearing broker will execute a stock borrow transaction to deliver the securities resulting from the Fund’s short sale. The Fund is obligated to purchase the securities at their fair value at the time of replacement. The Fund’s obligation to replace the securities in connection with a short sale is fully secured by collateral deposited with the clearing broker. Cash related to short sales is restricted until the securities are purchased. Short sales involve certain risks and special considerations. Possible losses from short sales differ from losses that could be incurred from a purchase of a security, because losses from short sales may be unlimited whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, purchases and sales of U.S. government securities were $235 and $5,228 which includes $5,205 short sales, respectively. Purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. government securities and short-term securities, were $278,984 and $71,467, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. From time to time, the Fund may directly or indirectly, use various derivative instruments including, but not limited to, options contracts, futures contracts, forward currency contracts, options on futures contracts, indexed securities, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps and other swap agreements primarily for hedging and risk management purposes. The Fund recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at fair value in its consolidated financial statements.

The Fund presents over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives that are executed with the same counterparty under the same master

Table of Contents

GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund

 

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

netting agreement on a net basis when the criteria for the right of offset are met. The Fund has elected to offset fair value amounts recognized for cash collateral receivables and/or payables and fair value amounts recognized for derivative positions executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement.

See Note 4, Derivative Instruments, for further information about the Fund’s use and designation of derivative instruments, including the amounts recognized for cash collateral receivables and/or payables that have been offset against net derivative positions and amounts under master netting arrangements that have not been offset against net derivative positions, if applicable.

Revenue Recognition

The Fund records investment transactions on trade date. Discounts and premiums on investments are accreted or amortized over the remaining life of the respective instruments using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the specific cost identification basis. The Fund records interest income and expense on the accrual basis, unless collection is in doubt. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Expenses relating to the Fund are expensed as incurred. The Fund may receive commitment fee income from unfunded commitments, which is recorded on the accrual basis. The amount of commitment fee is included in Interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund has loans in its portfolio that contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provisions. PIK represents interest that is accrued and recorded as interest income at the contractual rates, increases the loan principal on the respective capitalization dates, and is generally due at maturity.

Fee income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, syndication, arranger and prepayment fees associated with the Fund’s investment activities. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered, and are included in Fee Income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange at December 31, 2025. Transactions during the year are translated at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar on the date of the transaction. The Fund isolates the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency rates from the effect of fluctuations in the fair value of investments. Accordingly, such net foreign currency gains or losses and gains or losses on other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included as net realized gain (loss) on foreign currencies and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies in the consolidated statement of operations. Net gains or losses related to forward currency contracts are stated separately as net realized gain (loss) on forward currency contracts and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward currency contracts.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organization costs include the cost of formation as a Delaware statutory trust, including the cost of legal services and other fees pertaining to the Fund’s organization and registration. Offering costs primarily include third-party expenses incurred in continuous offering the Fund’s shares. The Fund bears the organizational and ongoing offering costs, whether paid by the Advisor or the Fund. The Fund’s initial offering costs, whether paid by the Advisor or the Fund, are being capitalized and amortized over the 12-month period beginning at the Commencement of Operations. The Fund’s organizational costs are expensed as incurred. Organizational and amortized offering cost are subject to the reimbursement and recoupment by the Advisor in accordance with the Expense Limitation Agreement (as defined below). For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund has incurred organizational and offering costs of $741.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Fund may enter into line-of-credit or loan agreements for financing. The debt issuance costs incurred, including legal fee related to issuance, are being capitalized and amortized over the life of the term of the arrangement.

Commitments and Contingencies

ASC Topic 440, Commitments (“ASC 440”)¸ and ASC Topic 450, Loss Contingencies (“ASC 450”), establish accounting and reporting

Table of Contents

GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund

 

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

standards for certain commitments and contingencies, respectively. In accordance with ASC 440, material commitments, if any, are disclosed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (see Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies). A liability is only recorded by the Fund for a commitment if a triggering event occurs which satisfies liability recognition criteria. Liabilities for loss contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and can be reasonably estimated.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions to the Fund’s shareholders are recorded as of the record date. Subject to the discretion of the Board of Trustees and applicable legal restrictions, the Fund intends to make monthly distributions to the shareholders. For the period July 16 (Commencement of Operations) to December 31, 2025, estimated dividends and distributions to shareholders were accrued daily based on 6.5% annual distribution rate. Subject to the Board of Trustees discretion and applicable legal restrictions, the Fund from time to time may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares. At least annually, the Fund intends to authorize and declare special cash distributions of net long-term capital gains, if any.

The Fund has an “opt out” dividend reinvestment plan that provides for reinvestment of dividends and other distributions on behalf of the shareholder, other than those shareholders who have “opted out” of the plan. As a result of adopting the plan, when the Fund pays a cash dividends or distribution, the shareholders who have not elected to “opt out” of the dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund’s shares of beneficial interest, rather than receiving cash. The number of shares to be issued to the shareholder will be determined based on the total dollar amount of the cash distribution payable, net of applicable withholding taxes.

Income Taxes

The Fund intends to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To qualify as a RIC, the Fund must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements and distribute to its shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income,” which is generally the Fund’s net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses. As a RIC, the Fund will not have to pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any income that it distributes to its shareholders. The Fund intends to make distributions in an amount sufficient to maintain its RIC status each year and to avoid any U.S. federal income taxes on income so distributed. The Fund will also be subject to non-deductible U.S. federal excise taxes if it does not distribute at least 98% of net ordinary income, 98.2% of capital gain net income, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years.

During the reporting period, the Fund adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update 2023-09-Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The adoption of this new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds’ financial positions or results of their operations. The Fund did not pay any federal or state and local income taxes. There were no significant amounts of income taxes paid in foreign jurisdictions by the Fund during the reporting period ended December 31, 2025. The Funds’ federal, state and local income and federal excise tax returns for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Fund evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax benefits or liabilities in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements. Recognition of a tax benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense on its consolidated statement of operations. During the period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Segment Reporting

Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) was introduced with the intent of improving reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through

Table of Contents

Note 3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment’s profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The Fund represents a single operating segment. The Officers of the Fund act as the Fund’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation within the Fund. The CODM monitors the operating results as a whole, and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus based on a defined investment strategy. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Fund’s financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards Updates

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires disaggregated disclosures of certain categories of expenses on an annual and interim basis including employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Investment Valuation

The Fund applies fair value accounting in accordance with the terms of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be exchanged to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transfer between market participants at the measurement date.

The Board of Trustees, has designated the Advisor as the Fund’s valuation designee for purposes of Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act to perform the fair value determination of all of the Fund’s assets in accordance with the terms of ASC 820. The fair valuation of the securities held by the Fund is in accordance with the valuation policy set forth below:

Securities, other than fixed income securities, that are listed on a securities exchange or that are traded on a listed market are fair valued at their last sales prices on the date of determination on the largest securities exchange or listed market on which such securities are traded.

Fixed income securities whether or not listed on an exchange or traded on a listed market, bank debt, derivatives and other securities that are not listed on an exchange and that are not traded on a listed market, for which external pricing vendors are available will be fair valued in accordance with any external pricing vendors selected by the Advisor in its sole discretion, provided however, that such valuations may be adjusted by the Advisor to account for recent trading activity or other information not reflected in pricing obtained from these external pricing vendors. If market quotations are not readily available from an exchange or a listed market or the external pricing vendors cannot provide a fair value for a security, the security will be fair valued using broker-dealer quotations or by engaging independent financial advisory firms (the “Consultants”). These quotations from external pricing vendors and/or broker-dealer quotations are generally estimates of fair value based on an evaluation of factors such as institution size, trading in similar securities, yield, credit quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue and other market data. The fair value of the investments and the secondary market for the investments may be volatile because the securities are affected by fundamental factors other than the level of interest rates.

The fair value of securities that are not listed on an exchange and that are not traded on a listed market, and for which no external pricing sources are available, will be estimated in good faith by the Advisor utilizing independent valuations from the Consultant no less frequently than monthly and monitor on a daily basis. Such valuations will reflect any credit risk associated with such securities where deemed appropriate. In order to assist the Advisor in its determination of fair value, the Advisor may also engage the Consultants to conduct an independent valuation. The Consultants provide the Advisor with a written report documenting their recommended valuation as of the determination date for the specified investments. The estimates and assumptions for securities fair valued in good faith by the Advisor may not reflect securities traded in an active market.

The fair valuation process requires judgment and estimation by the Advisor. In considering an investment’s fair value, the Advisor considers one or more of several factors including, but not limited to, an investment’s cost, trading in unrestricted securities of the same issuer, the type of restrictions that the investment is subject to, independent appraisals of the investee company, the results of operations of the issuer, the percentage of the investee owned by the Fund and its affiliates, the market and trading factors of investees in the same industry and any other factors deemed appropriate.

Note 3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Although the Advisor uses its best judgment and good faith in estimating the fair value of investments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique. Future events may affect the estimates of fair value and the effect of such events on the estimates of fair value, including the ultimate liquidation of investments, could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The FASB issued an accounting standard codification that establishes a fair value hierarchy for the inputs used in valuation models and techniques used to measure fair value. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into one of the following categories:

Level I – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The unadjusted quoted prices are generally received from widely recognized data providers. The types of investments which would generally be included in this category are equities and derivatives listed on a securities exchange.

Level II – Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. The valuations received for Level II investments are generally from external pricing vendors or multiple brokers.

The types of investments which would generally be included in this category are corporate bonds, bank debt, debt of collateralized loan obligations and certain over-the-counter derivatives.

Level III – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The valuations received for Level III investments are generally from a single broker or the Consultants. The types of investments which would generally be included in this category are debt and equity instruments issued by private entities.

The paragraphs below provide additional information surrounding the Advisor’s valuation techniques and inputs used in Level II and Level III securities as well as the valuation process for fair valuing the securities in the Fund’s portfolio.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs for Level II

Valuations for securities and derivatives classified as Level II in the fair value hierarchy have inputs in the valuation methodology that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date and are those other than quoted prices in active markets. In addition the fair values provided by the Consultants can be classified as Level II when inputs are observable. Inputs into market quotations and certain valuations from the Consultants are observable and may include quoted prices for similar investments in active or inactive markets, interest rates, yield curves and forward currency rates. If these inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value, these investments will be classified as Level III.

Valuation Techniques and Inputs for Level III

In the absence of consistently available market price quotations that reflect observable market inputs, investments are generally classified as Level III. The Advisor and the Consultants use a variety of valuation techniques in the fair value process including, but not limited to, recent market transactions, single market quotations, discounted cash flow models, market approaches and option value models. The Advisor and the Consultants may use one or a combination of these valuation techniques in determining the fair value of a Level III investment.

The inputs used in these valuation techniques are generally unobservable and significant to the fair value. In a discounted cash flow model, the inputs include, but are not limited to, the expected timing and level of future cash flows, yields, credit quality, coupon rate, maturity, credit risk assessments and recovery assumptions. For certain debt of collateralized loan obligations and private equity, additional inputs into the discounted cash flow model include, but are not limited to, the discount rate and the cumulative loss rate. In a market approach, the inputs include, but are not limited to, additional rounds of equity financing, comparable trading or transaction

multiples, financial metrics such as revenues, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and balance sheet ratios. In an option value model, the inputs include but are not limited to the volatility, the time to expiration, the risk free rate and the marketability discount.

The valuation techniques generally used in determining non-distressed debt investment fair valuations are single market quotations or discounted cash flow models. The valuation techniques generally used in determining distressed debt investment fair valuations are single market quotations, discounted cash flow models, market approaches or a combination of these techniques. The valuation techniques generally used in determining private equity investment fair valuations, such as common stock, preferred stock or warrants are discounted cash flow models, market approaches, or option value models.

Valuation Processes for Fair Valuing Securities

The Advisor has a formal valuation policy that sets forth the pricing methodology for investments to be implemented in fair valuing each security in the Fund’s portfolio, as previously detailed in the Investment Valuation note. The valuation policy is updated and approved at least annually by the valuation committee (the “Committee”). The Committee serves as a formal oversight body for the valuation of the Fund’s portfolio holdings in accordance with the valuation policy. The Committee is comprised of officers and employees all of whom are senior investment professionals and senior business management personnel. The Committee meets at least quarterly. The Committee’s role is to consider, among other things, time-sensitive issues, including those related to market closures, changes in illiquid security values, and valuations of private placements and other illiquid investments purchased by the Fund. The Committee reviews all the valuation methodologies used by the Advisor and takes any actions necessary to ensure that the appropriate procedures and internal controls are in place to address valuation issues. The Committee also reviews any due diligence performed and approves any changes to the current or potential external pricing vendors and Consultants.

The valuation policy outlines monitoring procedures to support the accuracy of pricing and lists all approved external pricing sources and Consultants. The monitoring procedures include, but are not limited to: reviewing stale pricing of securities for which the price has not changed in over a specified threshold, evaluating trades executed by the Advisor against the prices independently received from the external pricing sources above a set tolerance threshold, reviewing Consultants’ valuations with material exposure and reviewing an analysis of significant changes in security prices over the quarter. Investments valued using the valuation provided by the Consultants are also reviewed and then formally signed off by the appropriate investment personnel.

As stated in the valuation policy, situations may arise when market quotations or valuations provided by external pricing vendors are available but these market quotations or valuations may not represent current market conditions. In those cases, the Advisor may substitute multiple broker-dealer quotations or a good-faith estimate of fair value, defined in the valuation policy as single broker quotations or valuations provided by the Consultants. All pricing substitutions are documented to include an explanation for the pricing substitution and how the pricing substitution was eventually resolved (i.e. external pricing vendor adjusted their price in a subsequent period). On a quarterly basis, substitutions are reviewed by the Committee and approved. In addition, the good faith estimates of fair value are approved on a monthly basis by the Committee.

Transfers into or out of Level 3 were deemed to have occurred as a result of, among other factors, changes in liquidity, the depth and consistency of prices from third-party pricing services and the existence of observable trades in the market. For the period ended December 31, 2025, transfers into and out of Level 3, if any, were due to decreased and increased price transparency, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements

Securities purchased under agreements to resell represent the transfer of a security to the Fund from a counterparty at a specified price with an agreement for the Fund to resell the same security to the same counterparty, usually a broker. The seller agrees to repay cash plus interest to the Fund in exchange for the return of the security at an agreed upon date. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund took possession of securities under agreements to resell with a fair value of approximately $725, all of which has been transferred to others in connection with the Fund’s commitments under securities sold short.

Note 4. Derivative Instruments

The Fund enters into derivative contracts to manage currency exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and other exposure risks. The types of derivative contracts used by the Fund are forward currency contracts, future contracts, and swap contracts. During the period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund used forward currency contracts primarily to manage currency exchange risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. In addition, the Advisor has identified certain macro-economic risks that existed during the course of the period ended December 31, 2025, which could have negatively impacted the net assets of the Fund. The Advisor managed these risks by designing and implementing a hedging strategy whereby the Fund used derivative instruments such as credit default swaps, total return swaps, and futures to protect the Fund from the risks identified. The Fund accounts for its derivatives at fair value and records any changes in fair value in current period earnings. As such, even though the Fund may use derivatives in an attempt to achieve an economic hedge, the Fund’s derivatives are not considered to be hedging instruments. Instead, the Fund has designated these derivative instruments as trading instruments.

The Fund enters into master netting agreements with counterparties to reduce credit risk associated with these derivatives. As a result the derivative contracts are presented on the Fund’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities after taking into effect the offsetting permitted under the FASB’s guidance. Collateral requirements associated with the Fund’s derivative contracts are determined by the counterparties based upon the Fund’s credit risk and credit exposure. Upon entering into contracts, the collateral paid to the counterparties is in the form of cash and/or securities and are restricted for use by the Fund. The collateral requirements are monitored daily and cash and/or securities are posted or returned as necessary based upon the current net exposure with the counterparty.

Certain of the Fund’s derivative contracts have been transacted pursuant to bilateral agreements with certain counterparties that may require the Fund to terminate the transactions or post additional collateral if the Fund’s net assets decline below an agreed upon level (a “Termination Event”). If a Termination Event had occurred for those contracts in a net liability position where the counterparties are permitted to terminate the open derivative contracts, additional amounts may not be required since the aggregate fair value of the required collateral posted exceeded the settlement amounts of the open derivative contracts. For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not experience any Termination Event.

Forward Currency Contracts

The Fund enters into forward currency contracts primarily to manage the exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a forward currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed upon price on an agreed upon date. These instruments may involve market risk and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from the movement in currency rates, interest rates and securities values.

Swap Agreements

The Fund may enter into swap agreements directly with a counterparty or through a central clearing house. The types of swaps that the Fund trades in are mainly credit default swaps, interest rate swaps and total return swaps.

Credit default swaps represent agreements in which one party, the protection buyer, pays a fixed fee, the premium, in return for a payment by the other party, the protection seller, contingent upon a specified default event relating to an underlying reference asset or pool of assets. While there is no default event, the protection buyer pays the protection seller the periodic premium. If the specified credit event occurs there is an exchange of cash flows and/or securities designed so that the net payment to the protection buyer reflects the loss incurred by the creditors of the reference credit in the event of its default.

The Fund may enter into total return swaps, index swaps or contracts for difference with various counterparties. Under the terms of the swaps or of the contract for differences contracts, the Fund will pay a fixed or floating interest amount based upon the rates in the agreements and in return the Fund receives from the counterparties any economic gains or losses on the purchased investments.

Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to comply with the swap agreement. For swaps through a central clearing house, the central clearing house acts as the counterparty for each centrally cleared swap transaction; therefore credit risk is limited to the failure of the clearing house. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty to comply with the terms and obligations of the agreement is generally limited to the net payment to be received by the Fund, and/or the termination value at the end of the agreement. Therefore, the Fund considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates, foreign exchange rates or in the fair value of the underlying assets. Periodic payments received or paid on swap agreements are recorded as realized gain or loss. Fluctuations in the fair value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as a component of net realized gain or loss and net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

Swap agreements are fair valued based on the terms of the agreement and certain factors which include the current interest rate spreads and credit risk of the referenced obligation of the underlying issuer and interest accrual through the valuation date. During the period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund entered into swap agreements for which several major brokerage firms serve as counterparty. These instruments may involve market risk and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.

Futures Contracts

The Fund may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying security at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in the fair value of the underlying security at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the fair value of open futures contracts. Changes in the fair value of open futures contracts are recorded separately on consolidated statement of operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the fair value of the contract at the time it was opened and the fair value at the time it was closed, are recorded separately on consolidated statement of operations. These instruments may involve market risk and credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities.

Note 5. Share Transactions

The Fund is offering an unlimited number of Shares on a continuous basis at the NAV per Share plus any applicable sales loads. The Fund offers six classes of Shares: Class I Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class T Shares, Class U Shares and Class U-2 Shares. With respect to Class I Shares, the minimum initial investment is $1,000,000 for all accounts; subsequent investments may be made with any amounts. With respect to Class A, Class C, Class T, Class U and Class U-2 Shares, the minimum initial investment is $2,500 for all accounts; subsequent investments may be made with at least $500, except for purchases made pursuant to the Funds dividend reinvestment plan or as otherwise permitted by the Fund. As of December 31, 2025, Class I and Class T are outstanding.

For the period from July 24, 2025 (Inception date of class T offering) to December 31, 2025.

During the period ended December 31, 2025, the Advisor independently offered a limited incentive program pursuant to which it purchased shares of the Fund at net asset value and transferred such shares to certain investors, subject to a holding period. The Fund did not bear any cost associated with this program, and the program did not impact the Fund’s net assets or net asset value per share.

To provide shareholders with limited liquidity, the Fund is structured as an “interval fund” and intends to conduct quarterly offers to repurchase between 5% and 25% of its outstanding shares at NAV, pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act, unless such offer is suspended or postponed in accordance with regulatory requirements. As contemplated in the prospectus, the Fund completed its initial repurchase in December 2025, within two quarters of the Commencement of Operations. In connection with any given repurchase offer, it is likely that the Fund may offer to repurchase only the minimum amount of 5% of its outstanding shares. It is also

possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able to have a portion of their

shares repurchased; however, the Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase an additional amount of shares, not to exceed 2% of its outstanding shares on the expiration of the repurchase offer. The Board of Trustees, or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, will determine the number of shares that the Fund will offer to repurchase (the “Repurchase Offer Amount”) for a given repurchase offer. The Repurchase Offer Amount, however, will be no less than 5% and no more than 25% of the total number of Shares outstanding on the repurchase request deadline.

Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan

The Fund has adopted a “Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan” with respect to its Class A, Class C, Class T, Class U and Class U-2 Shares under which the Fund may compensate financial industry professionals for distribution-related expenses, if applicable, and providing ongoing services in respect of clients with whom they have distributed Shares of the Fund. Such services may include electronic processing of client orders, electronic fund transfers between clients and the Fund, account reconciliations with the Fund’s transfer agent, facilitation of electronic delivery to clients of Fund documentation, monitoring client accounts for back-up withholding and any other special tax reporting obligations, maintenance of books and records with respect to the foregoing, and such other information and liaison services as the Fund or the Advisor may reasonably request. Under the Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan, the Fund’s Class A Shares may incur expenses on an annual basis of up to 0.50% of its average monthly Net Assets, each of the Fund’s Class T, Class U and Class U-2 Shares may incur expenses on an annual basis of up to 0.75% of its average monthly Net Assets, and the Fund’s Class C Shares may incur expenses on an annual basis of up to 1.00% of its average monthly Net Assets. With respect to Class C and Class U-2 Shares, 0.25% of the fee is characterized as a “shareholder service fee” and the remaining portion is characterized as a “distribution fee.” With respect to Class A, Class T and Class U Shares, the entire fee is characterized as a “distribution fee.”

For the period ended December 31, 2025, Class T Shares incurred distribution fees of $26.

Investment Advisory Agreement

On May 27, 2025, The Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the investment advisory agreement (“Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and the Advisor for an initial two- year period in accordance with, and on the basis of an evaluation satisfactory to such trustees as required by Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act.

In consideration of the advisory services provided by the Advisor, the Fund accrues and pays monthly, in arrears, the Advisor a management fee at an annual rate of 1.85% based on average daily Gross Assets of the Fund (the “Management Fee”). Gross Assets includes without limitation assets attributable to any borrowings, preferred shares that may be outstanding, reverse repurchase agreements, and the notional value of assets financed via total return swaps (“Gross Assets”).

In addition, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its Management Fee in the amount of (i) 0.375% of the Fund’s average daily Gross Assets on an annualized basis until the six-month anniversary of the Fund’s Commencement of Operations and (ii) 0.375% of the Fund’s daily Gross Assets on an annualized basis until the twelve-month anniversary of the Fund’s Commencement of Operations (the “Management Fee Waiver Agreements”). The reduction of the Management Fee under the Management Fee Waiver Agreements is not subject to recoupment by the Advisor.

For the period ended December 31, 2025, management fees after waiver were $898. As of December 31, 2025, the gross management fee payable is $403, among which $163 is subject to management fee waivers. $240 is included in management fee payable in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Administration Agreement

On May 27, 2025, pursuant to the administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”), the Fund’s Board of Trustees has appointed the Advisor as the Fund’s administrator (the “Administrator”). Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Fund reimburses the Administrator its respective actual costs incurred in providing administrative services to the Fund, including the allocable portion of the compensation and related expenses of certain personnel of GoldenTree Asset Management LP for providing administrative services to the Fund on behalf of the Administrator, subject to the limitations set forth in the Administration Agreement and the Expense Limitation Agreement (as defined below). Such services include being responsible for the financial records which the Fund is required to maintain and preparing reports to the Fund’s Shareholders.

In addition, the Advisor provides the Fund with accounting services; assists the Fund in determining and publishing the Fund’s NAV; oversees the preparation and filing of the Fund’s tax returns; monitors the Fund’s compliance with tax laws and regulations; and prepares, and assists the Fund with any audits by an independent public accounting firm of, the Fund’s financial statements. The Advisor is also responsible for the printing and dissemination of reports to the Fund’s Shareholders and the maintenance of the Fund’s website; provides support for the Fund’s investor relations; generally oversees the payment of the Fund’s expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered to the Fund by others; and provides such other administrative services as the Fund may from time to time designate The Advisor is required to allocate the cost of such services to the Fund based on factors such as assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other methods. At least annually, the Board of Trustees reviews the methodology employed in determining how the expenses are allocated to the Fund and the proposed allocation of administrative expenses among the Fund and certain affiliates of the Advisor. The Board of Trustees then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements for expenses allocated to the Fund based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to the Fund of obtaining similar services from third-party service providers known to be available. In addition, the Board of Trustees considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Board of Trustees, among other things, compares the total amount paid to the Advisor for such services as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets to the same ratios reported by other comparable investment companies. The Fund will not reimburse the Advisor for any services for which it receives a separate fee or for any administrative expenses allocated to a controlling person of the Advisor. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by the Fund without penalty upon not less than 60 days’ written notice to the Administrator and by the Administrator upon not less than 90 days’ written notice to the Fund. The Administration Agreement will remain in effect if approved by the Board of Trustees, including by a majority of the Independent Trustees, on an annual basis.

For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $163 in administrative service fees including the transfer agency services fee, all of which related to third-party expenses. As of December 31, 2025, $163 was unpaid and included in administrative service fees payable in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Expense Limitation Agreement

The Fund and the Advisor have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”), under which the Advisor has contractually agreed to reimburse expenses to limit total annual operating expenses (excluding management fees, distribution and/or servicing fees, investment-related expenses, borrowing costs, borrowing-related costs, taxes, brokerage expenses, litigation expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to no more than 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily Gross Assets. The Expense Limitation Agreement will have a term ending one year from the effective date of the Fund’s registration statement on Form N-2, June 23, 2025 and the Advisor may extend the term for a period of one year on an annual basis. The Advisor may not terminate the Expense Limitation Agreement during its initial one-year term without consent of the Board of Trustees. The Advisor may recoup from the Fund any reimbursable expenses with respect to the Fund pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement if such recoupment does not cause the Fund to exceed the current expense limit or the expense limit in place at the time of the waiver or reimbursement (whichever is lower) and the recoupment is made within three years from the date the amount was initially waived or reimbursed.

As of December 31, 2025, the reimbursement from the Advisor is $1,218, for which the recoupment fully expires on December 31, 2028.

The Board of Trustees currently consists of four members, three of whom are independent from the Advisor (the “Independent Trustees”). The Board of Trustees has established an Audit Committee, a Nominating Committee and a Qualified Legal Compliance Committee, the members of each of which consist entirely of the Fund’s Independent Trustees. The Board of Trustees established a Valuation Committee composed of individuals affiliated with the Advisor to oversee the day-to-day procedures. The Board of Trustees may establish additional committees in the future. For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $130 in fees and expenses associated with its Independent Trustees’ services on the Fund’s Board of Trustees and its committees. As of December 31, 2025, $56 in fees or expenses associated with the Fund’s Independent Trustees were payable.

Note 7. Financing Arrangement

In accordance with the Investment Company Act, the Fund is currently only allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the Investment Company Act, is at least 300% after such borrowing. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had not borrowed under the below credit facility.

Bank of America Credit Facility

On September 12, 2025 the Fund entered into a Margin Loan and Security Agreement (“BOA Facility”) with Bank of America N.A. (“BOA”), with an effective date of October 15, 2025, for a secured loan with a maximum principal amount of $10 million. The BOA Facility provides for borrowings in U.S. dollars. The Fund may borrow to the extent the pledged collateral (subject to eligibility and margin requirements) provides sufficient coverage for such borrowings.

The Fund may terminate the BOA facility at any time upon 60 days written notice to BOA. Absent a default or facility termination event, BOA is required to provide the Fund with 179 days’ written notice prior to terminating the BOA Facility.

Borrowings under the BOA Facility bear interest at the annual rate of Daily SOFR plus 0.90%. The Fund also pays an unused commitment fee of 0.25% per year on undrawn amounts when the outstanding principal amount is less than 50% of the maximum principal amount, or 0.20% per year when the outstanding principal amount is equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum principal amount. Payments under the BOA Facility are made quarterly.

For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund had not borrowed under BOA facility.

For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $0 interest expense, $5 of unused commitment fees, and $0 of amortization of deferred financing costs.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. The Advisor has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to the Fund to be remote.

The Fund is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings and, to the Fund’s knowledge, no material legal proceedings are threatened against the Fund. From time to time, the Fund may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings related to the enforcement of the Fund’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, to the extent the Fund becomes party to such proceedings, the Fund would assess whether any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

Loan and other participation interest purchased by the Fund such as bank debt and private equity may include revolving credit agreements or other financing commitments obligating the Fund to advance additional amounts on demand. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on unfunded loan commitments is stated separately on the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. The following table presents the unfunded commitments as of December 31, 2025.

For the period from July 16, 2025 (Commencement of Operations) to December 31, 2025.

The Fund had no permanent differences causing reclassifications among total distributable earnings and paid-in capital for the period ended December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, the components of accumulated earnings (loss) on a tax basis were as follows:

Net capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term or long-term. As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had no short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains.

The aggregate cost of the Fund’s investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes totaled $236,754 as of December 31, 2025.The difference between the Fund’s GAAP basis cost and tax basis cost is primarily due to wash sales loss deferral, differences in the tax treatment of underlying fund investments, partnership investments, straddle loss deferral, and amortization methods for premiums and discounts on fixed income securities. Aggregate net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, including derivatives, on a tax basis was $4,990, which was comprised of gross unrealized appreciation of $6,041 and gross unrealized depreciation of $(1,051), as of December 31, 2025.

Note 9. Tax (continued)

 

Qualified late year losses are capital losses and specified ordinary losses, including currency losses, incurred after October 31 but within the taxable year that, if elected, are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year. For the period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund intends to defer to January 1, 2026 for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the late year specified losses of $539.

Note 10. Concentration of Risk

The Fund’s investment activities expose it to various types of risks, both on and off-balance sheet, which are associated with the financial instruments and markets in which it invests. In the ordinary course of business, the Fund manages a variety of risks, including market risk and credit risk. The Fund identifies measures and monitors risk through various control mechanisms, including trading limits. The following summary is not intended to be a comprehensive summary of all risks inherent in investing in the Fund and reference should be made to the Fund’s prospectus for a more detailed disclosure of risks.

Market Risk

Political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Fund’s investments. A disruption or downturn in the capital markets and the credit markets could impair the Fund’s ability to raise capital, reduce the availability of suitable investment opportunities for the Fund or adversely and materially affect the value of the Fund’s investments, any of which would negatively affect the Fund’s business. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain, and could affect companies worldwide.

Credit Risk

The Fund will invest primarily in credit and credit-related instruments and derivatives. Such investments generally fluctuate in value based upon broader market factors, such as changes in interest rates, and also based on developments affecting the perceived creditworthiness and ability of the borrower to repay the principal and interest owed with respect to the underlying indebtedness. If a credit investment in the Fund’s portfolio declines in price and/or fails to pay interest or principal when due because the issuer or debtor, as the case may be, experiences a decline in its financial status, the Fund’s NAV and/or income would be adversely impacted.

Counterparty Risk

The Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, which could make it difficult for the Fund or the investments in which the Fund holds to collect on obligations, thereby resulting in potentially significant losses.

Investments in Secured and Unsecured Debt

The assets of the portfolio of the Fund may include secured debt, which involve various degrees of risk of a loss of capital. The factors affecting an issuer’s secured debt, and its overall capital structure, are complex. Some secured loans may not necessarily have priority over all other debt of an issuer.

In addition, certain of the Fund’s investments are expected to constitute unsecured debt. While unsecured debt ranks senior to common stock or preferred equity of an issuer, unsecured debt effectively ranks subordinate in priority of payment to secured debt and may not have the benefit of financial covenants common for secured debt. Unlike secured debt, unsecured debt does not have the benefit of a lien with respect to specific collateral. In any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving an issuer, the holders of the issuer’s secured debt may assert rights against the assets pledged to secure that debt in order to receive full payment of their debt before the assets may be used to pay other creditors of the issuer, including the Fund. Accordingly, unsecured debt typically involves a heightened level of risk of loss of principal.

Investments in Distressed Securities

The Fund may invest in obligations of issuers in weak financial condition, experiencing poor operating results, having substantial capital needs or negative net worth, facing special competitive or product obsolescence problems, including companies involved in bankruptcy or other reorganization and liquidation proceedings. These obligations are likely to be particularly risky investments although they also may offer the potential for correspondingly high returns.

Note 10. Concentration of Risk (continued)

 

Investments in Certain Pooled Issuers and other Structured Debt Securities

CLOs and other structured finance securities are generally backed by a pool of credit related assets that serve as collateral. Accordingly, such securities present risks similar to those of other types of credit investments, including default (credit), interest rate and prepayment risks. In addition, such may be governed by a complex series of legal documents and contracts, which increases the risk of dispute over the interpretation and enforceability of such documents relative to other types of investments. There is also a risk that the trustee of a CLO does not properly carry out its duties to the CLO, potentially resulting in loss to the CLO. CLOs are also inherently leveraged vehicles and are subject to leverage risk.

Risks of Default

A default and any resulting loss on an underlying asset will reduce its fair value and, consequently, the fair value of the related investment and the Fund’s portfolio.

Liquidity Risk

Generally, there is no public market for a portion of the Fund’s investments. As such, the Fund may not be able to sell such investments quickly, or at all. If the Fund is able to sell such investments, the prices the Fund receives may not reflect the Advisor’s assessment of their fair value or the amount paid for such investments by the Fund.

Leverage Risk

The use of leverage can create risks. Leverage can increase market exposure, increase volatility in the Fund, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations or to meet asset coverage requirements when it may not be advantageous to do so.

Currency Risk

The Fund may make investments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. The Fund’s investments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars will be subject to the risk that the value of such currency will decrease in relation to the U.S. dollar.

Interest Rate Risk

The price of certain of the Fund’s investments, particularly debt or preferred equity investments with a fixed coupon or dividend rate, may be significantly affected by changes in interest rates. In general, rising interest rates will negatively affect the price of a fixed rate instrument and falling interest rates will have a positive effect on the price of a fixed rate instrument. If general interest rates rise, there is a risk that the Fund’s floating rate investments (or an issuer’s underlying obligors) will be unable to pay escalating interest amounts, which could result in a default under their loan documents and credit losses to the Fund. Rising interest rates could also cause issuers to shift cash from other productive uses to the payment of interest, which may have a material adverse effect on their business and operations and could, over time, lead to increased defaults. If interest rates fall, the Fund’s floating rate investments would generally be expected to generate a lower rate of income.

Regulatory Risk

Government regulation and/or intervention may change the way the Fund is regulated, affect the expenses incurred directly by the Fund, affect the value of its investments and limit the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Government regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse consequences. Moreover, government regulation may have unpredictable and unintended effects. In addition to exposing the Fund to potential new costs and expenses, additional regulation or changes to existing regulation may also require changes to the Fund’s investment practices.

Global Economy Risk

Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market.

Note 10. Concentration of Risk (continued)

 

Cybersecurity Risk

Cybersecurity incidents and cyber-attacks have been occurring globally at a more frequent and severe level and will likely continue to increase in frequency in the future. The Advisor faces various security threats on a regular basis, including ongoing cyber security threats to and attacks on its information technology infrastructure that are intended to gain access to its proprietary information, destroy data or disable, degrade or sabotage its systems. These security threats could originate from a wide variety of sources, including unknown third parties outside of the Advisor. Although the Advisor is not currently aware that it has been subject to cyber-attacks or other cyber incidents which, individually or in the aggregate, have materially affected its operations or financial condition, there can be no assurance that the various procedures and controls utilized to mitigate these threats will be sufficient to prevent disruptions to its systems.

Shareholder Concentration

As of December 31, 2025, two shareholders owned 10% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares, comprising 68% of the Fund. In addition, another shareholder is an affiliate of the Advisor and owns 9% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. Pursuant to agreements among the two shareholders and the Advisor, the two shareholders have delegated to the Advisor the power to vote and dispose of the shares held of record by the shareholders. As such, the Advisor, and not the shareholders, may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares held of record by the two shareholders. Each of the shareholders has the right to revoke the delegation on sixty one days’ notice.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

The Fund has evaluated subsequent events through the date of Issuance and has determined that there are no material events requiring adjustment to, or disclosure in, these consolidated financial statements.

The Fund commenced a quarterly repurchase offer beginning on February 9, 2026 and ending on March 6, 2026 (the “Repurchase Pricing Date”).

On February 25, 2026, the Board of Trustees approved the continuation of the Expense Limitation Agreement. The term of the Expense Limitation Agreement has been extended through April 30, 2027.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, of GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund (the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets, and cash flows, including the related notes for the period from July 16, 2025 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2025 and the consolidated financial highlights for the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2025, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the period July 16, 2025 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2025 and the consolidated financial highlights for the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, issuers of privately held securities, agent banks and transfer agents. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), of GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund (the “Fund”), approve the initial Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and GoldenTree Asset Management Credit Advisor LLC (the “Adviser”). At an in-person meeting held on May 27, 2025 (the “Approval Meeting”), the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered and unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year period.

In connection with their deliberations regarding the proposed adoption of the Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to reasonably be necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Trustees also considered the nature, quality and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Adviser under the Agreement.

 

63


Table of Contents

Supplemental Information (continued)

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided and Performance

The Trustees reviewed and considered the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement and under a separate administration agreement and the services proposed to be provided to the Fund by third-party service providers.

They reviewed the Form ADV for the Adviser, as well as the relevant information in the 15(c) Response, which included, among other things, information about the qualifications, background and experience of the key personnel of the Adviser that were proposed to be primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund, and the proposed investment objectives and strategies of the Fund. The Trustees also considered that the Fund would be the first closed-end tender offer fund managed by the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered the special attributes of the Fund as a closed-end fund that has elected to operate as an interval fund and the benefits that are expected to be realized from an investment in the Fund. The Trustees also considered the resources devoted by the Adviser and its affiliates in developing and maintaining the processes and infrastructure necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Fund, including the subscription and repurchase offer processes.

The Trustees also evaluated the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain high-caliber personnel. In this regard, the Trustees considered information regarding the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ compensation program, which is designed to provide both annual and long-term incentives for its personnel, aligning the personnel interests with the interests of the Adviser and the Fund and its shareholders.

In addition, the Trustees reviewed information about the Adviser’s investment process, financial stability, investment and risk management programs and legal and compliance programs, and the Fund’s proposed use of leverage and the effect that such leverage may have on the Fund’s portfolio and performance. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser would oversee the Fund’s compliance with its investment objective and policies as well as with applicable laws and regulations, including the Fund’s quarterly repurchase process and its compliance with an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Fund to co-invest in certain negotiated investments with other funds or accounts managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.

The Trustees noted that the Fund is newly organized and therefore had no historical performance for the Trustees to review at such time. The Trustees then reviewed, considered and discussed at length the performance results for various periods of time of a composite of funds and accounts managed by the Adviser and its affiliates that are comparable to the Fund in terms of strategy and types of investments.

Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Trustees concluded that they were generally satisfied with, and that the Fund should benefit from, the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Proposed Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The Trustees then reviewed and considered the management fee rate proposed to be payable by the Fund to the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement and information about the projected total expense ratio of the Fund. The Trustees considered a comparison of the proposed management fee rate and projected total net expense ratio of investment companies managed by third-party investment advisers that have similar investment strategies as the Fund (the “Peer Funds”), noting that the Fund’s proposed management fee rate was higher than those of the Peer Funds but that its projected total net expense ratio was lower than those of the Peer Funds. The Trustees noted that the proposed management fee rate was generally higher than those of the Peer Funds because the Peer Funds have incentive fees. The Trustees also considered a comparison of the proposed management fee rate against the management fees of certain of the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ funds, noting that the management fee was higher than these funds but that all but one of these funds have incentive fees as well. The Trustees also reviewed and considered the proposed expense limitation arrangement and how such an arrangement would limit certain expenses of the Fund.

In considering the management fee rate, the Trustees also discussed the Fund’s expected use of leverage. They noted that while the Adviser believes that the prudent use of leverage is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, the use of leverage has the potential to increase the Adviser’s overall management fee and therefore may create a conflict of interest with the Fund’s shareholders.

Based on its review, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s proposed management fee rate and projected total expense ratio is fair and reasonable in light of the services proposed provided to the Fund and other factors considered.

Profitability

The Trustees next considered the Adviser’s costs to provide investment management and related services to the Fund and the profitability to the Adviser from the investment management and related services provided to the Fund.

Table of Contents

Supplemental Information (continued)

 

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the potential growth of the Fund and information regarding whether the Investment Advisory Agreement adequately addresses economies of scale with respect to providing advisory services to the Fund. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the lack of breakpoints in the fee structure was appropriate given the Fund’s initial growth trajectory and investment objectives and strategies.

Other Benefits and Other Factors

The Trustees considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates that may be derived from their relationship with the Fund. The Trustees also considered that the Fund pays a fee to the Adviser for administrative services provided to the Fund.

Item 12. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

1. Background

In connection with its investment advisory activities, GoldenTree Asset Management LP (“GTAM”) and its affiliates may be responsible for voting proxies related to clients’ managed assets. Where the power to vote in person or by proxy has been delegated, directly or indirectly, to the investment adviser, the investment adviser has the fiduciary obligation to (a) vote in a manner that is in the best interests of the client and (b) properly deal with potential conflicts of interest arising from proxy proposals being voted upon.

The policies and procedures of GTAM (the “Adviser”) for voting proxies received for accounts managed by the Adviser are set forth below and are applicable if:

 

   

The underlying advisory agreement entered into with the client expressly provides that the Adviser shall be responsible to vote proxies received in connection with the client’s account; or


Table of Contents
   

The underlying advisory agreement entered into with the client is silent as to whether or not the Adviser shall be responsible to vote proxies received in connection with the client’s account and the Adviser has discretionary authority over investment decisions for the client’s account.

These Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures are designed to ensure that proxies are voted in a manner that is consistent with the Adviser’s fiduciary obligations and the general anti-fraud provisions federal securities laws, and supplement the Adviser’s investment policies and procedures regarding its general responsibility to monitor the performance and/or corporate events of companies which are issuers of securities held in managed accounts.

2. Proxy Voting Policies

The Adviser has engaged the services of an independent third-party service, Institutional Shareholder Services, (“ISS”) to assist in analyzing proxies and making a voting recommendation with respect to such proxies. ISS will provide the Adviser with its analysis of proxy issues and vote recommendations based upon ISS’s voting guidelines. ISS will generally vote proxies in accordance with the recommendations of company management to the extent the proposals maintain or strengthen the shared interests of shareholders and management; increase shareholder value; and maintain or increase the rights of shareholders. ISS will coordinate with each Client’s prime broker or custodian to ensure that proxy materials are processed in a timely fashion. The Adviser shall vote proxies related to securities held by any client in a manner that is in the best interest of the client. The Adviser shall consider only those factors that relate to the client’s investment or that are dictated by the client’s written instructions, including how its vote will economically impact (short-term and long-term) and otherwise affect the value of the client’s investment.

The Adviser generally expects to vote in accordance with the recommendations of ISS. However, the Adviser in all cases reserves the right to override ISS’s recommendations and will vote against a proposal or recommendation of ISS and/or company management if it determines that such action is in the best interests of the client. Such overrides will be reviewed by the Adviser’s Compliance group. Generally, proxy votes will be cast in favor of proposals that:

 

   

Maintain or strengthen the shared interests of shareholders and management;

 

   

Increase shareholder value; and

 

   

Maintain or increase the rights of shareholders.

Proxy votes generally will be cast against proposals that it determines will have the opposite effect of those listed above, particularly where the Adviser believes that a proposal will have a dilutive effect on the value of the underlying security.

In voting on each and every issue, the Adviser and its employees shall vote in a prudent and timely fashion and only after evaluating the issue(s) presented on the ballot. Because proxy issues and the circumstances of individual companies are so varied, there may be instances when the Adviser may not vote in strict adherence to these guidelines.

2.1 Conflicts of Interest

In exercising its voting discretion and overriding an ISS recommendation, the Adviser and its employees will seek to avoid any direct or indirect conflict of interest to:

 

   

The Adviser;


Table of Contents
   

Any affiliate of the Adviser. For purposes of these Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures, an affiliate means: (i) any person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Adviser; (ii) any officer, director, principal, partner, employer, or direct or indirect beneficial owner of any 10% or greater equity or voting interest of the Adviser; or (iii) any other person for which a person described in clause (ii) acts in any such capacity;

 

   

Any issuer of a security for which the Adviser (or any affiliate of the Adviser) acts as a sponsor, advisor, manager, custodian, or other similar capacity;

 

   

Any employee of the Adviser involved in voting the proxy holding a material position of the securities of an issuer in their personal trading account; or

 

   

Any person with whom the Adviser (or any affiliate of the Adviser) has an existing, material contract or business relationship that was not entered into in the ordinary course of the Adviser’s (or its affiliate’s) business.

(Each of the above persons being an “Interested Person.”)

One example of a situation in which a potential conflict of interest may arise is where the Adviser is asked to vote upon an issue related to a company when the Adviser is aware that a client of the Adviser is an officer, director, or stockholder of that company, or otherwise has an interest in the particular vote. In situations like this, the interests of the affiliated client may be contrary to the best interests of the Adviser’s other clients. Another example of a potential conflict may involve an employee, responsible for voting the proxy, holding a material position in the security of the issuer.

The Adviser shall keep certain records required by applicable law in connection with its proxy voting activities for clients and shall provide proxy-voting information to clients upon their written or oral request. Proxy-voting information can be requested, free of charge, via email at ClientDevelopmentAssociates@goldentree.com or by telephone at 212-847-3527.

Consistent with SEC Rule 206(4)-6, as amended, the Adviser shall take reasonable measures to inform its clients of (1) its proxy voting policies and procedures and (2) the process or procedures clients must follow to obtain information regarding how the Adviser voted with respect to assets held in their accounts.

3. Proxy Voting Procedures

The Adviser shall be responsible for voting the proxies related to any client’s account in the manner set forth herein.

Prior to voting, the Adviser will verify whether its voting power is subject to any limitations or guidelines issued by the client (or in the case of an employee benefit plan, the plan’s trustee, or other fiduciaries).

Consistent with its fiduciary obligations, the Adviser may determine it appropriate to override an ISS recommendation in the best interests of the client. If the Adviser raises no objections to the recommendations of ISS, then ISS will automatically vote the proxies based on their recommendations.

When ISS notifies the Adviser of an upcoming vote, the Adviser will check whether the underlying security is on loan. The Operations Department maintains records of all securities that are lent out pursuant to a lending arrangement. To the extent the underlying security has been lent out, the Adviser can reclaim the security to effectuate a vote if it wishes to vote on the subject item. With respect to securities that Adviser may borrow, when effecting short sales for example, a similar process will occur in the keeping of appropriate records of such borrows and ascertaining whether a vote should be conducted, to the extent possible.


Table of Contents

In accordance with SEC Rule 204-2(c)(2), as amended, the Adviser shall retain the following:

 

   

A copy of the proxy statement received (unless retained by a third party for the benefit of the Adviser or the proxy statement is available from the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system);

 

   

A record of the vote cast (unless this record is retained by a third party for the benefit of the Adviser and the third party is able to promptly provide the Adviser with a copy of the voting record upon its request);

 

   

A copy of any document created by the Adviser or its employees that was material in making the decision on how to vote the subject proxy or that memorializes the basis for that decision; and,

 

   

A copy of each written client request for information on how the adviser voted proxies on behalf of the client, and a copy of any written response by the Adviser to any (written or oral) client request for information on how the Adviser voted proxies on behalf of the requesting client.

The above copies and records shall be retained by the Adviser for a period not less than five (5) years.

Periodically, but no less than annually, Compliance will:

 

   

Review that proxies received have been voted in a manner consistent with the Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and the guidelines (if any) issued by the client;

 

   

Review that any overrides to ISS recommendations are appropriate.

 

   

Review the files to verify that records of the voting of the proxies have been properly maintained; and

 

   

File Form N-PX to disclose GTAM’s proxy voting records as required.

Supplement Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for the GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund

The GoldenTree Opportunistic Credit Fund (the “Fund”) has delegated proxy voting for its investments to the Fund’s Adviser. Accordingly, the Adviser reviews any pending proxy vote decisions seeking to ensure that all votes cast for the Fund are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Vote decisions are made after the Adviser considers recommendations made by its proxy voting service, as applicable, and after considering how best to cast the vote such that its clients best interests are served.

Moreover, it is possible that the best interests of different clients of the Adviser, including the Fund, may not always be aligned. While the Adviser will seek to act in a manner it reasonably believes to be equitable to all clients under the circumstances, it may take certain actions for some clients that could have an adverse effect on other clients (for example, in connection with certain restructurings and reorganization situations).

If there is a material conflict of interest between the Adviser and the Fund’s shareholders that cannot be resolved pursuant to the Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures, the Adviser must notify the CCO. In such an event, the CCO, in consultation with counsel, as needed, will review the particular proposal and determine how to vote the proxy in a manner consistent with interests of the Fund’s shareholders.

Total assets include undrawn capital.

*

Total Assets are estimated and unaudited and may vary from final audited figures. Total assets exclude amounts invested in the equity of another investment vehicle managed by the portfolio managers so as to avoid double counting.

Because the portfolio managers may manage assets for other investment companies, pooled investment vehicles, and/or other accounts (including institutional clients, pension plans and certain high net worth individuals), there may be an incentive to favor one client over another resulting in conflicts of interest. For instance, the Adviser may receive fees from certain accounts that are higher than the fee it receives from the Fund, or it may receive performance-based fees on certain accounts. In those instances, the portfolio managers may have an incentive to favor the higher and/or performance-based fee accounts over the Fund. In addition, a conflict of interest could exist to the extent the Adviser has proprietary investments in certain accounts, where the portfolio managers have personal investments in certain accounts or when certain accounts are investment options in the Adviser’s employee benefits and/or deferred compensation plans. The portfolio managers may have an incentive to favor these accounts over others. If the Adviser manages accounts that engage in short sales of securities of the type in which the Fund invests, the Adviser could be seen as harming the performance of the Fund for the benefit of the accounts engaging in short sales if the short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall. The Adviser has adopted trade allocation and other policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to address these and other conflicts of interest.

(a)(3) Compensation of the Portfolio Managers. The investment professionals are paid out of the total revenues of the Adviser and certain of its affiliates, including the advisory fees earned with respect to providing advisory services to the Fund. Professional compensation at the Adviser is structured so that key professionals benefit from strong investment performance generated on the accounts that the Adviser and such affiliates manage and from their longevity with the Adviser. Each portfolio manager has indirect equity ownership interests in the Adviser and related long-term incentives. The portfolio managers also receive a fixed base salary and an annual market and performance-based cash bonus. The bonus is determined by the Adviser, and is based on both quantitative and qualitative analysis of several factors, including the profitability of the Adviser and the contribution of the individual employee. Many of the factors considered by management in reaching its compensation determinations will be impacted by the Fund’s long-term performance and the value of the Fund’s assets as well as the portfolios managed for the Adviser’s and such affiliates’ other clients.

(a)(4) The following table sets forth the dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by the Portfolio Managers of the Fund as of December 31, 2025:
