CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about HPS Corporate Capital Solutions Fund (together, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “our”), our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs and opinions, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “potential,” “predicts” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:
•our future operating results;
•our business prospects and the prospects of our portfolio companies, including our and their ability to achieve our respective objectives as a result of inflation, the imposition of tariffs, increases in borrowing costs and a potential global recession;
•the impact of geo-political conditions, including revolution, insurgency, terrorism or war, including those arising out of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the broader Middle East conflict;
•the impact of the investments that we expect to make;
•our ability to raise sufficient capital to execute our investment strategy;
•our current and expected financing arrangements and investments;
•the adequacy of our cash resources, financing sources and working capital;
•changes in the general interest rate environment, including a sustained elevated interest rate environment, and uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s intentions regarding interest rates in the future;
•the timing and amount of cash flows, distributions and dividends, if any, from our portfolio companies;
•our contractual arrangements and relationships with third parties;
•actual and potential conflicts of interest with HPS Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) or any of its affiliates;
•the elevated level of inflation, and its impact on our portfolio companies and on the industries in which we invest;
•the dependence of our future success on the general economy and its effect on the industries in which we may invest;
•the availability of credit and/or our ability to access the capital markets;
•our use of financial leverage;
•the ability of the Adviser to source suitable investments for us and to monitor and administer our investments;
•the ability of the Adviser or its affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals;
•our ability to qualify for and maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company and as a business development company (“BDC”);
•the impact on our business of new or amended legislation or regulations;
•currency fluctuations, particularly to the extent that we receive payments denominated in currency other than U.S. dollars;
•the effect of changes to tax legislation and our tax position; and
•the tax status of the enterprises in which we may invest, including the imposition of tariffs upon either the supplies utilized by those enterprises or the enterprises’ end products.
Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of any projection or forward-looking statement in this report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. Moreover, we assume no duty and do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. Because we are an investment company, the forward-looking statements and projections contained in this report are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt and equity investments held by the Company (which such term “Company” shall include the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries for purposes of this Consolidated Schedule of Investments) are denominated in U.S. dollars. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had investments denominated in Canadian Dollars (CAD), Euros (EUR), British Pounds (GBP), Japanese Yen (JPY), and Australian Dollars (AUD). All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise indicated. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted. Certain portfolio company investments are subject to contractual restrictions on sales. The total par amount (in thousands) is presented for debt investments and the number of shares or units (in whole amounts) owned is presented for equity investments. Each of the Company’s investments is pledged as collateral under its credit facility unless otherwise indicated.
(2) The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA" or "SN"), Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“Euribor” or “E”), Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "SF"), Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA" or "C"), Tokyo Overnight Average Rate (“TONA” or “TN”), or Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate ("BBSY" or "B") which reset daily, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. For each such investment, the Company has provided the spread over SONIA, Euribor, SOFR, CORRA, TONA, or BBSY and the current contractual interest rate in effect at September 30, 2025 . Certain investments are subject to a SOFR interest rate floor, or rate cap. Certain investments contain a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provision. SOFR-based contracts may include a credit spread adjustment, which is included within the stated all-in interest rate, if applicable, that is charged in addition to the base rate and the stated spread.
(3) The cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
(4) These investments were valued using unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3 investments. Fair value was determined in good faith by HPS Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) as the Company’s valuation designee, subject to the oversight of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) (see Note 2 and Note 5), pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy.
(5) The investment is not a qualifying asset, in whole or in part, under Section 55(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “1940 Act”). The Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time of acquisition, qualifying assets represent at least 70 % of the Company’s total assets. As of September 30, 2025, non-qualifying assets represented 22.3 % of total assets as calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements.
(6) Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion, although the investment may be subject to unused commitment fees. Negative cost and fair value results from unamortized fees, which are capitalized to the investment cost. The unfunded loan commitment may be subject to a commitment termination date that may expire prior to the maturity date stated. See below for more information on the Company’s unfunded commitments:

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, issuers of debt and equity investments held by the Company (which such term “Company” shall include the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries for purposes of this Consolidated Schedule of Investments) are denominated in dollars. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had investments denominated in Euros (EUR), British Pounds (GBP), and Australian Dollars (AUD). All debt investments are income producing unless otherwise indicated. All equity investments are non-income producing unless otherwise noted. Certain portfolio company investments are subject to contractual restrictions on sales. The total par amount (in thousands) is presented for debt investments and the number of shares or units (in whole amounts) owned is presented for equity investments. Each of the Company’s investments is pledged as collateral under its credit facility unless otherwise indicated .
(2) The majority of the investments bear interest at a rate that may be determined by reference to the Prime Rate (“Prime” or “P”), Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA" or "SN"), Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“Euribor” or “E”), Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "SF"), Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR" or "C"), Singapore Overnight Rate Average (“SORA”), Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index (“BS”), or Bank Bill Swap Rate ("BBSW" or "B") which reset daily, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. For each such investment, the Company has provided the spread over Prime, SONIA, E, SOFR, CDOR, SORA, BS or BBSW and the current contractual interest rate in effect at December 31, 2024 . Certain investments are subject to a Prime, or SOFR interest rate floor, or rate cap. Certain investments contain a Payment-in-Kind (“PIK”) provision. SOFR based contracts may include a credit spread adjustment, which is included within the stated all-in interest rate, if applicable, that is charged in addition to the base rate and the stated spread.

(3) The cost represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums, as applicable, on debt investments using the effective interest method in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
(4) These investments were valued using unobservable inputs and are considered Level 3 investments. Fair value was determined in good faith by the Adviser as the Company’s valuation designee, subject to the oversight of the Board (see Note 2 and Note 5), pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy.
(5) The investment is not a qualifying asset, in whole or in part, under Section 55(a) of the 1940 Act. The Company may not acquire any non-qualifying asset unless, at the time of acquisition, qualifying assets represent at least 70 % of the Company’s total assets. As of December 31, 2024, non-qualifying assets represented 19.4 % of total assets as calculated in accordance with regulatory requirements.
(6) Position or portion thereof is an unfunded loan commitment, and no interest is being earned on the unfunded portion, although the investment may be subject to unused commitment fees. Negative cost and fair value results from unamortized fees, which are capitalized to the investment cost. The unfunded loan commitment may be subject to a commitment termination date that may expire prior to the maturity date stated. See below for more information on the Company’s unfunded commitments:

HPS Corporate Capital Solutions Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(in thousands, except per share data, percentages and as otherwise noted)
Note 1. Organization
HPS Corporate Capital Solutions Fund (the “Company”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on August 10, 2023 and commenced operations on April 8, 2024. The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with its tax year ended December 31, 2024, and intends to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify as a RIC in each taxable year thereafter. The Company is managed by HPS Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of HPS Investment Partners, LLC (“HPS” or the “Administrator”).
The Company’s investment objective is to produce attractive, risk-adjusted returns in the form of current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in newly originated, privately negotiated senior secured debt and, to a lesser extent, junior capital of upper middle market and larger scale companies predominantly in the U.S. “Upper middle market” generally refers to companies with earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of $75 million to $1 billion annually or revenue of $250 million to $5 billion annually at the time of the Company’s investment.
The Company may from time to time invest in smaller or larger companies if the opportunity presents attractive investment characteristics and risk-adjusted returns. While the Company’s investment strategy primarily focuses on companies in the United States, the Company also intends to leverage HPS’s global presence to invest in companies in Europe, Australia and other locations outside the U.S., subject to compliance with BDC requirements to invest at least 70 % of assets in “eligible portfolio companies.”
The Company’s investment strategy also includes a smaller allocation to more liquid credit investments such as non-investment grade broadly syndicated loans, leveraged loans, secured and unsecured corporate bonds, and securitized credit. This allocation may also include senior secured loans, senior secured bonds, high yield bonds and structured credit instruments. The Company intends to use these investments to maintain liquidity for the Company’s share repurchase program and to manage cash before investing subscriptions into directly originated, privately negotiated loans, while seeking attractive risk-adjusted investment returns. The Company also may invest in publicly traded debt securities of larger corporate issuers on an opportunistic basis when market conditions create compelling potential return opportunities, subject to compliance with BDC requirements to invest at least 70 % of assets in “eligible portfolio companies.”
Subscriptions to purchase the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”) may be made on an ongoing basis, but investors currently may only purchase the Company’s Common Shares pursuant to accepted monthly subscription orders effective as of the first calendar day of each month. The Company, in its sole discretion, may determine to accept subscriptions on a less frequent basis than monthly and may begin accepting subscriptions on a quarterly (as opposed to monthly) basis (the “Subscription Frequency”) in the future. However, the Company may determine not to change the Subscription Frequency at all. The purchase price for the Common Shares on April 8, 2024 (the “Initial Closing”) was $25.00 per share. Thereafter, the purchase price per share equals the net asset value (“NAV”) per share, as of the last calendar day of the month immediately prior to the effective date of the share purchase. HPS Securities, LLC (the “Managing Dealer”), and the participating brokers will use their best efforts to sell shares, but are not obligated to purchase or sell any specific amount of shares. The Managing Dealer intends to enter into additional placement agreements with broker-dealers in connection with the private offering of the Company’s Common Shares (the “Private Offering”).
At the Initial Closing, the Company issued unregistered Common Shares in the Company, par value $0.01 , to certain accredited investors in the Initial Closing of its Private Offering. The terms of the Private Offering required the Company to deposit all subscription proceeds in an escrow account with the Bank of New York Mellon, as escrow agent, until (i) the Company received subscriptions of at least $200.0 million; and (ii) the Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) authorized the release of funds in the escrow account. On April 8, 2024, the Company’s Board authorized the release from escrow of the subscription proceeds of approximately $220.7 million and the Company issued and sold 8,827,880 Common Shares to such accredited investors. The offer and sale of the Common Shares was exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D thereunder, and/or Regulation S thereunder.
As of July 1, 2025, in reliance upon exemptive relief issued to the Company by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), all of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares were converted into three separate classes (the “Share Class Conversion”); Class I common shares (“Class I Common Shares”), Class D common shares (“Class D Common Shares”) and Class S common shares (“Class S Common Shares”). All outstanding Common Shares immediately prior to the Share Class Conversion were subject to the same shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee as that applicable to the Class D Common Shares. Accordingly, for all periods prior to July 1, 2025, all share class activity for the existing common shares are presented under Class D Common Shares. As of July 1, 2025 there were 7,953,606 Class I Common Shares, 30,401,941 Class D Common Shares and 515 of Class S Common Shares outstanding, respectively.

On July 1, 2025, BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) acquired the business and assets of HPS, with 100 % of consideration paid in BlackRock equity (the “HPS/BlackRock Transaction”).
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 6 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair statement of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
As an investment company, the Company applies the accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Basis of Consolidation
As provided under ASC 946, the Company will not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments, such as money market funds, with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions and, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.
Investments
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on investment transactions are measured by the difference between the net proceeds received (excluding prepayment fees, if any) and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized gains or losses primarily reflects the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses with respect to investments realized during the period.
The Company is required to report its investments for which current market values are not readily available at fair value. The Company values its investments in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date. ASC 820 prioritizes the use of observable market prices derived from such prices over entity-specific inputs. Due to the inherent uncertainties of valuation, certain estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been realized had a ready market for these investments existed, and these differences could be material.
Investments that are listed or traded on an exchange and are freely transferable are valued at either the closing price (in the case of securities and futures) or the mean of the closing bid and offer (in the case of options) on the principal exchange on which the investment is listed or traded. Investments for which other market quotations are readily available will typically be valued at those market quotations. To
31
validate market quotations, the Company utilizes a number of factors to determine if the quotations are representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations. Where it is possible to obtain reliable, independent market quotations from a third party vendor, the Company uses these quotations to determine the value of its investments. The Company utilizes mid-market pricing (i.e., mid-point of average bid and ask prices) to value these investments. The Adviser obtains these market quotations from independent pricing services, if available; otherwise from one or more broker quotes. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, the Adviser regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to independent pricing services or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the valuation procedures. The Adviser does not adjust the prices unless it has a reason to believe market quotations are not reflective of the fair value of an investment.
Where prices or inputs are not available or, in the judgment of the Adviser, not reliable, valuation approaches based on the facts and circumstances of the particular investment will be utilized. Securities that are not publicly traded or for which market prices are not readily available, as will be the case for a substantial portion of the Company’s investments, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser as the Company’s valuation designee under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy, and under the oversight of the Board, based on, among other things, the input of one or more independent valuation firms retained by the Company to review the Company’s investments. These valuation approaches involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the investments or market and the investments’ complexity.
With respect to the quarterly valuation of investments, the Company undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of the Company’s investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available as of the last calendar day of each quarter, which includes, among other procedures, the following:
•The valuation process begins with each investment being preliminarily valued by the Adviser’s valuation team in consultation with the Adviser’s investment professionals responsible for each portfolio investment;
•In addition, independent valuation firms retained by the Company prepare quarter-end valuations of each such investment that was (i) originated or purchased prior to the first calendar day of the quarter and (ii) is not a de minimis investment, as determined by the Adviser. The independent valuation firms provide a final range of values on such investments to the Adviser. The independent valuation firms also provide analyses to support their valuation methodology and calculations;
•The Adviser’s valuation committee with respect to the Company (the “Valuation Committee”) reviews the valuation recommendations prepared by the Adviser’s valuation team and, as appropriate, the independent valuation firms’ valuation ranges;
•The Valuation Committee then determines fair value marks for each of the Company’s portfolio investments; and
•The Board and Audit Committee periodically review the valuation process and provide oversight in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act.
As part of the valuation process, the Company takes into account relevant factors in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, many of which are loans, including and in combination, as relevant: (i) the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company, generally based on an analysis of discounted cash flows, publicly traded comparable companies and comparable transactions, (ii) the nature and realizable value of any collateral, (iii) the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and cash flow, (iv) the markets in which the portfolio company does business, and (v) overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity or debt sale occurs, the Adviser considers whether the pricing indicated by the external event corroborates its valuation.
The Company has and will continue to engage independent valuation firms to provide assistance regarding the determination of the fair value of the Company’s portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are readily available but deemed not reflective of the fair value of the investment each quarter, and the Adviser and the Company may reasonably rely on that assistance. However, the Adviser is responsible for the ultimate valuation of the portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy, the Board’s oversight and a consistently applied valuation process.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. In a foreign currency forward contract, the Company agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of one currency for another, at a pre-determined price at a future date. Foreign currency forward contracts are marked-to-market at the applicable forward rate. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities by counterparty on a net basis, not taking into account collateral posted which is recorded separately, if applicable. Notional amounts of foreign currency forward contract assets and liabilities are presented separately on the Consolidated
32
Schedule of Investments. Purchases and settlements of foreign currency forward contracts having the same settlement date and counterparty are generally settled net and any realized gains or losses are recognized on the settlement date. As it relates to foreign currency forward contracts, the Company does not utilize hedge accounting and as such, the Company recognizes its derivatives at fair value with changes in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency forward contracts recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Additionally, the Company uses interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the Company's fixed rate liabilities. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is included as derivative assets at fair value or derivative liabilities at fair value, as applicable, on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Company designated the interest rate swaps as the hedging instruments in a qualifying fair value hedge accounting relationship, and therefore the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and hedged item are recorded as components of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap is offset by a change in the carrying value of the fixed rate debt.
Loan Participations
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing when accounting for loan participations and other partial loan sales. Such guidance requires a participation or other partial loan sale to meet the definition of a “participating interest,” as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales that do not meet the definition of a participating interest remain on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the proceeds are recorded as a secured borrowing until the definition is met. Secured borrowings are carried at fair value to correspond with the related investments, which are carried at fair value. There were no participations that were accounted for as secured borrowings during the period.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates effective on the last business day of the period; and (ii) purchases and sales of investments, borrowings and repayments of such borrowings, income, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.
The Company does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included within the net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments. Fluctuations arising from the translation of non-investment assets and liabilities are included with the net change in unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency translations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Foreign security and currency translations may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations and revaluations and future adverse political, social and economic developments, which could cause investments in foreign markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies or U.S. government securities.
Revenue Recognition
Interest Income
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortizations of premiums. Discounts from and premiums to par value on debt investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. The amortized cost of debt investments represents the original cost, including loan origination fees and upfront fees received that are deemed to be an adjustment to yield, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts are recorded as interest income in the current period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded non-recurring interest income of $0.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively (e.g. prepayment premiums, accelerated accretion of upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the
33
Company recorded non-recurring interest income of $0.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively (e.g. prepayment premiums, accelerated accretion of upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts).
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had two and zero portfolio companies on non-accrual status, respectively.
PIK Income
The Company 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. Such income is included in interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. If at any point the Company believes PIK is not expected to be realized, the investment generating PIK will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest is generally reversed through interest income. To maintain the Company’s status as a RIC, this non-cash source of income must be paid out to shareholders in the form of dividends, even though the Company has not yet collected cash.
Dividend Income
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies. To the extent a preferred equity security contains PIK provisions, PIK dividends, computed at the contractual rate specified in each applicable agreement, are accrued and recorded as dividend income and added to the principal balance of the preferred equity security. PIK dividends added to the principal balance are generally collected upon redemption of the equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $0.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of dividend income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did no t record any dividend income.
Other Income
The Company may receive various fees in the ordinary course of business such as structuring, consent, waiver, amendment, syndication and other miscellaneous fees as well as fees for managerial assistance rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.
Organization Expenses
Organization expenses include, among other things, the cost of incorporating the Company and the cost of legal services and other fees pertaining to the Company's organization. Organization expenses are expensed as incurred.
Offering Expenses
The Company's offering expenses include, among other things, legal fees, registration fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the Company's registration statement (and any amendments or supplements thereto) relating to the Private Offering and associated marketing materials. Offering costs are capitalized as a deferred charge and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over a twelve-month period from incurrence.
Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Issuance Costs
Deferred financing costs and debt issuance costs represent fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These expenses are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method. Deferred financing costs related to revolving credit facilities are presented separately as an asset on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Debt issuance costs related to any issuance of installment debt or notes are presented net against the outstanding debt balance of the related security.
34
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code beginning with the tax year end of December 31, 2024, and intends to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify as a RIC in each taxable year thereafter. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its shareholders as dividends. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company would represent obligations of the Company’s shareholders and would not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must distribute to its shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of the sum of (i) its “investment company taxable income” for that year (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), which is generally its ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of its realized net short-term capital gains over its realized net long-term capital losses and (ii) its net tax exempt income. The Company intends to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will generally relieve the Company from corporate-level income taxes.
In addition, pursuant to the excise tax distribution requirements, the Company is subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on undistributed income unless the Company distributes in a timely manner in each taxable year an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in prior years. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by the Company that is subject to corporate income tax is considered to have been distributed. To the extent that it determines that estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such taxable income, the Company will accrue excise taxes, if any, on estimated undistributed taxable income.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company accrued $0.2 million and $1.0 million of U.S. federal excise tax, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company accrued $0.3 million and $0.3 million of U.S. federal excise tax, respectively.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses
Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated to each class of Common Shares based upon the aggregate net asset value of that class in relation to the aggregate net asset value of the Company. Expenses that are specific to a class of Common Shares are allocated to such class directly.
Distributions
To the extent that the Company has taxable income available, the Company intends to pay quarterly distributions to its shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s earnings, financial condition, maintenance of the Company’s tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time. Although the gross distribution per share is generally equivalent for each share class, the net distribution for each share class is reduced for any class specific expenses, including shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees, if any.
Segment Reporting
In accordance with ASC Topic 280—Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company has determined that it has a single operating and reporting segment. As a result, the Company’s segment accounting policies are the same as described herein and the Company does not have any intra-segment sales and transfers of assets.
35
The Company operates through a single operating and reporting segment with an investment objective to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is comprised of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer and the CODM assesses the performance and makes operating decisions of the Company on a consolidated basis primarily based on the Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations (“net income”). In addition to numerous other factors and metrics, the CODM utilizes net income as a key metric in determining the amount of dividends to be distributed to the Company’s shareholders. As the Company’s operations comprise of a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “total assets” and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (“ASUs”) issued by the FASB. The Company has assessed currently issued ASUs and has determined that they are not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”),” which intends to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company does not expect this update to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 2200-40),” which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, in each relevant expense caption. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Fees, Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had payables due to affiliates of $3.8 million, comprised of $0.6 million of expenses reimbursable to the Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement and $3.2 million of other expenses paid on behalf of the Company, which includes $0.3 million due to the Board of Trustees. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had payables due to affiliates of $0.8 million, comprised of $0.8 million of other expenses paid on behalf of the Company.
Investment Advisory Agreement
On January 9, 2024, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Prior Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser.
In connection with the closing of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction, effective July 1, 2025, the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement was automatically terminated. Prior thereto, the Board approved a new investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) between the Company and the Adviser, subject to shareholder approval. At a special meeting of shareholders on April 16, 2025, shareholders approved the Investment Advisory Agreement, which became effective upon the closing of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction. The Adviser is responsible for determining the portfolio composition, making investment decisions, monitoring investments, performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies and providing the Company with such other investment advisory and related services as may reasonably be required for the investment of capital.
The management and incentive fees payable by the Company are unchanged from the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, and the Investment Advisory Agreement is otherwise substantively identical in all respects to the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement, except as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025. In addition, the Company’s investment strategy and team, including the Company’s executive officers, remains materially unchanged, and the HPS/BlackRock Transaction is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s operations.
On July 1, 2025, Colbert Cannon and Grishma Parekh resigned from the Board upon the closing of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction in order to comply with the Section 15(f) safe harbor provisions of the 1940 Act. Mr. Cannon and Ms. Parekh continue to serve in their existing roles at HPS and the Adviser and, with respect to Mr. Cannon, as a member of the Investment Committee of the Company. Neither Mr. Cannon’s notice nor Ms. Parekh’s resignation from the Board of the Company were the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
36
Under both the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser a fee for its services. The fee consists of two components: a management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the management fee and the incentive fee will ultimately be borne by the shareholders.
Base Management Fee
The management fee will be payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25 % of the value of the Company’s net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable quarter, as adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the quarter that do not occur on the first calendar day of the quarter. For purposes of the Investment Advisory Agreement, net assets means the Company’s total assets less the carrying value of liabilities, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The payment and calculation of the management fee will be pro-rated for any period of less than three months. For the first calendar quarter in which the Company had operations, net assets were measured as the beginning net assets as of the date on which the Company broke escrow for the Private Offering.
The Adviser agreed to waive its base management fee from the Initial Closing through June 30, 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, base management fees earned were $3.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively, of which $0.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively, were voluntarily waived by the Adviser. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, base management fees earned were $1.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, all of which were voluntarily waived by the Adviser. As of September 30, 2025, $3.3 million was payable to the Adviser relating to management fees. As of December 31, 2024, no amount was payable to the Adviser relating to management fees.
Incentive Fees
The Company will pay the Adviser an incentive fee. The incentive fee consists of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the incentive fee is based on a percentage of the Company’s income and a portion is based on a percentage of the Company’s capital gains, each as described below.
Income based incentive fee
The income based incentive fee will be based on the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, defined as: dividends, cash interest or other distributions or other cash income and any third-party fees received from portfolio companies (such as upfront fees, commitment fees, origination fee, amendment fees, ticking fees and break-up fees, as well as prepayments premiums, but excluding fees for providing managerial assistance) accrued during the quarter, minus Operating Expenses (as defined below) for the quarter (including the management fee, taxes, any expenses payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement (as defined below) with the Administrator, any expense of securitizations, and interest expense or other financing fees and any dividends paid on preferred shares, but excluding incentive fees and shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees). Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero-coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The impact of expense support payments and recoupments are also excluded from Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns.
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, is compared to a “Hurdle Rate” defined as a return of 1.5 % per quarter (6.0 % annualized).
The Company will pay the Adviser an incentive fee quarterly in arrears with respect to the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in each calendar quarter as follows:
a.No incentive fee will be paid on Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns in any calendar quarter in which the Pre- Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns do not exceed the Hurdle Rate of 1.5 % (6.0 % annualized);
b.100 % of the dollar amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns with respect to that portion of such Pre- Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than a rate of return of 1.76 % (7.06 % annualized). This portion of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns (which exceeds the Hurdle Rate but is less than 1.76 %) is referred to as the “Catch-Up.” The Catch-Up is meant to provide the Adviser with approximately 15 % of the Company's Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns as if a Hurdle Rate did not apply if the net investment income exceeds 1.76 % in any calendar quarter; and
37
c.15 % of the dollar amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns, if any, that exceed a rate of return of 1.76 % (7.06 % annualized). This reflects that once the Hurdle Rate is reached and the Catch-Up is achieved, 15 % of all Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns thereafter are allocated to the Adviser.
The Adviser agreed to waive its income based incentive fee from the Initial Closing through June 30, 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, income based incentive fees were $4.1 million and $10.8 million, respectively, of which $0.0 million and $6.7 million, respectively, were voluntarily waived by the Adviser. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, income based incentive fees were $2.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, all of which was voluntarily waived by the Adviser. As of September 30, 2025, $4.1 million was payable to the Adviser relating to income based incentive fees. As of December 31, 2024, no amount was payable to the Adviser relating to income based incentive fees.
Capital gains based incentive fee
The second component of the incentive fee, the capital gains incentive fee, is payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears. The amount payable equals 15.0 % of cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of such calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. This U.S. GAAP accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation, net of any expense associated with cumulative unrealized capital depreciation or appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then U.S. GAAP requires the Company to record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 15.0 % of such cumulative amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains incentive fees paid or capital gains incentive fees accrued under U.S. GAAP in all prior periods.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, capital gains incentive fees were $1.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, capital gains incentive fees were $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company accrued $2.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of capital gains incentive fees, none of which were payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Administration Agreement
On January 9, 2024, the Company entered into an administration agreement with HPS (as in effect prior to its termination as of July 1, 2025, the "Prior Administration Agreement"). In connection with the closing of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction on July 1, 2025, the Company entered into a new administration agreement, dated as of July 1, 2025, with HPS (the "Administration Agreement") with the material terms unchanged from the Prior Administration Agreement. Under the Administration Agreement, HPS will provide, or oversee the performance of, administrative and compliance services, including, but not limited to, maintaining financial records, overseeing the calculation of the NAV, compliance monitoring (including diligence and oversight of other service providers), preparing reports to shareholders and reports filed with the SEC and other regulators, preparing materials and coordinating meetings of the Company’s Board, managing the payment of expenses, the payment and receipt of funds for investments and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others and providing office space, equipment and office services. The Company will reimburse HPS for the costs and expenses incurred by HPS in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. Such reimbursement includes the Company’s allocable portion of compensation (including salaries, bonuses and benefits), overhead (including rent, office equipment and utilities) and other expenses incurred by HPS in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, including but not limited to compensation paid to: (i) the Company’s chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs; (ii) investor relations, legal, operations and other non-investment professionals at the Administrator that perform duties for the Company; and (iii) any internal audit group personnel of HPS or any of its affiliates, subject to the limitations described in Advisory and Administration Agreements. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator may delegate its obligations under the Administration Agreement to an affiliate or to a third party and the Company will reimburse the Administrator for any services performed for the Company by such affiliate or third party.
The amount of the reimbursement payable to HPS for administrative services will be the lesser of (1) HPS’s actual costs incurred in providing such services and (2) the amount that the Company estimates it would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. HPS will be required to allocate the cost of such services to the Company based on factors such as assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Company will not reimburse HPS for any services
38
for which it receives a separate fee, or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of HPS.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in expenses under the Administration Agreement and the Prior Administration Agreement, which were recorded in “administrative service expenses” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in expenses under the Prior Administration Agreement. As of September 30, 2025 there was $0.6 million of administration service expenses payable by the Company which are included in “due to affiliates” in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of December 31, 2024, all expenses under the Prior Administration Agreement were paid by the Adviser on behalf of the Company under the Expense Support Agreement, and as such, there were no amounts payable for such expenses included in “due to affiliates” in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Sub-Administration Agreement
HPS has hired Harmonic Fund Services (“Harmonic”) to assist in the provision of sub-administrative and fund accounting services. Harmonic will receive compensation for these services under a sub-administration agreement.
Certain Terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement
Each of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement will remain in effect for a period of two years from the date it first becomes effective and will remain in effect from year-to-year thereafter if approved annually by a majority of the Board or by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities and, in each case, a majority of the Trustees of the Company who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”). The Company may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice, and the Administration Agreement upon 120 days’ written notice, without payment of any penalty. The decision to terminate either agreement may be made by a majority of the Board or the shareholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities. In addition, without payment of any penalty, the Adviser may terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement upon 120 days’ written notice and the Administrator may terminate the Administration Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice. The Investment Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment within the meaning of the 1940 Act and related SEC guidance and interpretations. The Investment Advisory Agreement was most recently approved by the Board on January 7, 2025, for an initial two-year period effective upon the closing of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction. The Administration Agreement was most recently approved by the Board on January 7, 2025, for an initial two-year period effective upon the closing of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction. The HPS/BlackRock Transaction closed on July 1, 2025, and the initial two-year period of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement, which ends on July 1, 2027, commenced.
Managing Dealer Agreement
In connection with the closing of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction on July 1, 2025, the Company’s prior managing dealer agreement (the “Prior Managing Dealer Agreement”) was terminated and the Company entered into a new managing dealer agreement with the Managing Dealer (the “Managing Dealer Agreement”), with the material terms unchanged from the Prior Managing Dealer Agreement. Under the Managing Dealer Agreement, the Managing Dealer is entitled to receive shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees in arrears on the same frequency with which the Company pays distributions (e.g. monthly or quarterly), commencing no later than the first full calendar quarter after the Initial Closing, at an annual rate of 0.25 % of the value of the Company’s net assets attributable to the Common Shares as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the subscription period, whether monthly or quarterly. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are payable to the Managing Dealer, but the Managing Dealer anticipates that all or a portion of the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees will be retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating broker-dealers. The Managing Dealer agreed to waive the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee from the Initial Closing through March 31, 2025.
39
As of July 1, 2025, in reliance upon exemptive relief issued to the Company by the SEC, all of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares were converted into three separate classes, Class I Common Shares, Class D Common Shares and Class S Common Shares. All outstanding Common Shares immediately prior to the Share Class Conversion were subject to the same shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee as that applicable to the Class D Common Shares. Accordingly, for all periods prior to July 1, 2025, all share class activity for the existing common shares are presented under Class D Common Shares. The following table shows the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees the Company pays the Managing Dealer with respect to the Class I Common Shares, Class D Common Shares and Class S Common Shares on an annualized basis as a percentage of the Company’s NAV for such class.
| Shareholder Servicing and/or Distribution Fee as a % of NAV |
|||||
| Class I Common Shares | % | ||||
| Class D Common Shares | % | ||||

The Managing Dealer is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA.
The Managing Dealer Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Company’s Independent Trustees who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Company’s distribution plan or the Managing Dealer Agreement or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, on not more than 60 days’ written notice to the Managing Dealer or the Adviser. The Managing Dealer Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act.
Either party may terminate the Managing Dealer Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party or immediately upon notice to the other party in the event such other party failed to comply with a material provision of the Managing Dealer Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Managing Dealer Agreement to pay the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees with respect to the Common Shares distributed shall survive termination of the agreement until such shares are no longer outstanding.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company accrued shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees of $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, attributable to Class D Common Shares, of which $0.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, was waived during the periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company accrued shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees of $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, attributable to Class S Common Shares. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company accrued shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees of $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, attributable to Class D Common Shares, all of which were waived during the periods. As of September 30, 2025, there was a $0.5 million of shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees payable to the Managing Dealer. As of December 31, 2024, no amount was payable to the Managing Dealer relating to shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees.
Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement
On January 9, 2024, the Company entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement with the Adviser (the “Expense Support Agreement”). Pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement, the Adviser may elect to pay certain expenses on the Company’s behalf (an “Expense Payment”), provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any interest expense or shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees of the Company. Any Expense Payment that the Adviser has committed to pay must be paid by the Adviser to the Company in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than forty-five days after such commitment was made in writing, and/or offset against amounts due from the Company to the Adviser or its affiliates.
Following any calendar quarter in which Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Company’s shareholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar quarter (the amount of such excess being hereinafter referred to as “Excess Operating Funds”), the Company shall pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof, to the Adviser until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Adviser to the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company shall be referred to herein as a “Reimbursement Payment.”
“Available Operating Funds” means the sum of (i) the Company’s net investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gains reduced by net long-term capital losses), (ii) the Company’s net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term
40
capital gains over net short-term capital losses) and (iii) dividends and other distributions paid to the Company on account of investments in portfolio companies (to the extent such amounts listed in clause (iii) are not included under clauses (i) and (ii) above).
The Company’s obligation to make a Reimbursement Payment shall automatically become a liability of the Company on the last business day of the applicable calendar quarter, except to the extent the Adviser has waived its right to receive such payment for the applicable calendar quarter.
The following table presents a summary of Expense Payments and the related Reimbursement Payments since the Company's commencement of operations:

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodology used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology that reflect unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
•Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
•Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement.
44
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Adviser’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Company applies the valuation policy approved by its Board that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of the inputs, including any markets in which its investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value.
Investments whose values are based on the listed closing price quoted on the securities’ principal exchange are classified within Level 1 and include active listed equities. The Adviser does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. These include investment-grade corporate bonds, structured products, and certain bank loans, less liquid listed equities, and high yield bonds. As Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
Investments classified within Level 3 have unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently, or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these investments, the Adviser uses one or more valuation techniques (e.g., the market approach and the income approach) of which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3, the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market data, while the use of the income approach generally consists of the net present value of estimated future cash flows, which may be adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.
Investments in senior loans primarily include first and second lien term loans, delayed draws and revolving credit. The Adviser analyzes enterprise value based on the weighted average of discounted cash flows, public comparables and merger and acquisition comparables. This analysis is done to ensure, among other things, that the investments have adequate collateral and asset coverage. Once the investment is determined to have adequate asset coverage, the Adviser monitors yields for senior loan investments made from the time of purchase to the month end average yields for similar investments and risk profiles. The Company uses market data, including newly funded transactions, and secondary market data with respect to high-yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield. The change in yield is utilized by the Adviser to discount the anticipated cash flows of the debt investment in order to arrive at a fair value. Further, the Adviser adjusts for material changes in the underlying fundamentals of the issuer, including changes in leverage, as necessary. If the investment does not have adequate coverage, a tranched valuation approach is considered.
Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments can be exchange-traded or privately negotiated over the-counter (“OTC”) and include forward currency contracts and swap contracts. Forwards currency contracts and swap contracts are valued by the Adviser using observable inputs, such as market-based quotations received from the counterparty, dealers or brokers, whenever available and considered reliable. In instances where models are used, the value of an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in the contract, as well as the availability and reliability of observable inputs. Such inputs include market prices for reference securities, yield curves, volatility assumptions and correlations of such inputs. Certain OTC derivatives can generally be corroborated by market data and are therefore classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether or not they are deemed to be actively traded.
Further inputs considered by the Adviser in estimating the value of investments may include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets (by the investment or other comparable investments), whether the loan contains call protection and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Adviser in the absence of market information. The fair value measurement of Level 3 investments does not include transaction costs that may have been capitalized as part of the security’s cost basis. Assumptions used by the Adviser due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Company’s Consolidated Results of Operations.
Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The rule permits boards, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions, to designate certain parties to perform the fair value
45
determinations. In accordance with this rule, the Company’s Board of Trustees has designated the Company’s Adviser as the valuation designee primarily responsible for the valuation of the Company’s investments, subject to the oversight of the Board of Trustees.

As of December 31, 2024, included within the fair value of Level 3 assets of $816,313 is an amount of $426,715 for which the Adviser did not develop the unobservable inputs (examples include third-party pricing and transaction prices).

The significant unobservable input used in the yield analysis is the discount rate based on comparable market yields. The significant unobservable input used in the income approach is the discount rate used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment. Significant increases in discount rates would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities, other than investments at fair value and debt, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Fair value is estimated by discounting remaining payments using applicable current market rates, which take into account changes in the Company’s marketplace credit ratings, if applicable, or market quotes, if available.
Note 6. Derivative Instruments
49
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to help mitigate the impact that an adverse change in foreign exchange rates would have on the value of the Company’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. The Company enters into swap contracts in the normal course of business to manage its interest rate risk exposure. For derivative contracts, the Company enters into netting arrangements with its counterparties. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company offsets fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments with the same security type and counterparty under a master netting arrangement.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the average notional exposure for foreign currency forward contracts were $169.2 million and $135.7 million, respectively, and the average notional exposure for interest rate swaps were $175.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the average notional exposure for foreign currency forward contracts was $58.2 million and $52.7 million, respectively, and the average notional exposure for interest rate swaps were $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively.

Note 7. Borrowings
In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limitations, the Company is allowed to borrow amounts such that its asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 150% after such borrowing. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s asset coverage was 223.0 % and 325.0 %, respectively.
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 8, 2024, the Company, as borrower, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and as collateral agent, the lenders party thereto (the “Revolving Credit Facility Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers. On April 23, 2025, the Company, as borrower, entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement Amendment”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and as collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto,
51
amending the Revolving Credit Agreement. The following describes the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility as modified through the Revolving Credit Agreement Amendment.
The Company may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies under the Revolving Credit Facility. Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility drawn in U.S. dollars will initially bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 0.65 % or 0.775 % plus an “alternate base rate” in the case of any ABR Loan and 1.65 % or 1.775 % plus the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (including any applicable credit adjustment spread) in the case of any other Loan, in each case, depending on the Company’s rate option election and borrowing base. Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility drawn in currencies other than U.S. dollars will initially bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 1.65 % or 1.775 %, in each case depending on the Company’s borrowing base, plus any applicable credit spread adjustment, plus certain local rates consistent with market standards. The Company also pays a fee of 0.325 % on average daily undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The maximum principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is $1,075 million (increased from $650 million to $675 million on February 4, 2025, from $675 million to $725 million on February 21, 2025, from $725 million to $900 million on April 23, 2025, from $900 million to $950 million on August 7, 2025, and from $950 million to $1,075 million on September 26, 2025), subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on the Company’s portfolio investments and other outstanding indebtedness, with an accordion provision to permit increases to the total facility amount up to $1,350 million subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
The Revolving Credit Facility will be guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company that will be formed or acquired by the Company in the future (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Facility Guarantors”). Proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, repaying outstanding indebtedness, making distributions, contributions and investments, and acquisition and funding of portfolio investments, and such other uses as permitted under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a perfected first-priority interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by the Company and each Revolving Credit Facility Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions, and includes a $150 million limit for swingline loans.
The availability period under the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on April 23, 2029 (the “Revolving Credit Facility Commitment Termination Date”) and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on April 23, 2030 (the “Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date”). During the period from the Revolving Credit Facility Commitment Termination Date to the Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date, the Company will be obligated to make mandatory prepayments under the Revolving Credit Facility out of the proceeds of certain asset sales, recovery events and/or equity or debt issuances.
Unsecured Notes
The Company issued unsecured notes, as further described below: August 2028 Notes and August 2030 Notes (each as defined below), which are collectively referred to herein as the “Unsecured Notes”.
Interest on the Unsecured Notes will be due semiannually. The interest rates are subject to increase (up to a maximum increase of 2.00 % above the stated rate for each of the Unsecured Notes) in the event that, subject to certain exceptions, the Unsecured Notes cease to have an investment grade rating and the Company’s minimum secured debt ratio exceeds certain thresholds. In addition, the Company is obligated to offer to repay the Unsecured Notes at a price equal to 100 % of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest if a certain change in control event occurs. The Unsecured Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company that rank pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness issued by the Company.
August 2028 Notes
On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement (the “2025 Note Purchase Agreement”) governing the issuance of $150 million in aggregate principal amount of its Series A Senior Notes, Tranche A (the “August 2028 Notes”) to institutional investors in a private placement. The August 2028 Notes have a fixed interest rate of 5.86 % per annum and are due on August 13, 2028.
In connection with the August 2028 Notes, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to more closely align the interest rates of the Company’s liabilities with the Company’s investment portfolio, which consists of predominately floating rate loans. Under the interest rate swap agreement related to the August 2028 Notes, the Company receives a fixed interest rate of 5.86 % per annum and pays a floating interest rate of SOFR + 2.2735 % per annum on $150 million of the August 2028 Notes. The Company designated each interest rate swap as the hedging instrument in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship.
52
August 2030 Notes
On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into the 2025 Note Purchase Agreement governing the issuance of $200 million in aggregate principal amount of its Series A Senior Notes, Tranche B (the “August 2030 Notes”) to institutional investors in a private placement. The August 2030 Notes have a fixed interest rate of 6.20 % per annum and are due on August 13, 2030.
In connection with the August 2030 Notes, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to more closely align the interest rates of the Company’s liabilities with the Company’s investment portfolio, which consists of predominately floating rate loans.

The Company designated each interest rate swap as the hedging instrument in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and other requirements of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Unsecured Notes, as applicable.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide a variety of general indemnifications. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements could involve future claims that may be made against the Company. Currently, no
54
such claims exist or are expected to arise and, accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.
The Company’s investment portfolio may contain debt investments which are in the form of lines of credit or delayed draw commitments, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with underlying loan agreements. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had unfunded delayed draw term loans, revolvers and preferred equity in the aggregate principal amount of $228.9 million and $85.4 million, respectively.
From time to time, the Company may become a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of its business. As of September 30, 2025, management is not aware of any material pending or threatened litigation.
The Adviser agreed to bear all of the Company’s expenses, including organization and offering expenses, through April 8, 2024, the date on which the Company broke escrow for the initial offering of its Common Shares, on which date the Company became obligated to reimburse the Adviser for such advanced expenses upon breaking escrow for the Private Offering and the Adviser requesting reimbursement of these expenses paid pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no reimbursement payments made to the Adviser.
Warehousing Transactions
Macquarie Bank Limited and Affiliates
Beginning September 12, 2023, the Company entered into multiple sale and purchase agreements (the “Macquarie Purchase Agreements”) with Macquarie Bank Limited and certain of its affiliates (each, a “Macquarie Financing Provider” and collectively, the “Macquarie Financing Providers”). Under the Macquarie Purchase Agreements, the Company had forward obligations to settle the purchase of certain investments (the “Macquarie Warehouse Investments”) from the Macquarie Financing Providers, subject to the following conditions; (a) that the Company has received subscriptions of at least $200 million; and (b) that the Board of the Company has approved the purchase of the specific Macquarie Warehouse Investments (the “Macquarie Warehouse Conditions”).
The Macquarie Warehouse Investments consisted of newly originated, privately negotiated senior secured term loans and junior capital commitments to upper middle market companies consistent with the Company’s investment strategy.
Pursuant to the Macquarie Purchase Agreements, the Company could request that the Macquarie Financing Provider acquire such Macquarie Warehouse Investments as the Company may designate from time to time, which a Macquarie Financing Provider could approve or reject in its sole and absolute discretion. Prior to any sale to the Company, the Macquarie Warehouse Investments were owned and held solely for the account of the relevant Macquarie Financing Provider. Until such time as the Company satisfied the Macquarie Warehouse Conditions, which occurred on April 8, 2024, it had no obligation to purchase the Macquarie Warehouse Investments nor be entitled to any benefits or subject to any obligations under the Macquarie Purchase Agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $242.4 million of investments at principal ($11.0 million of which was unfunded) from the Macquarie Financing Providers. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no forward obligations to settle the purchase of Macquarie Warehouse Investments from the Macquarie Financing Providers.
In consideration for the forward arrangement provided by the Macquarie Financing Providers, the Company paid, subject to the satisfaction of the Warehouse Conditions, certain fees and expenses to the Macquarie Financing Providers, including a financing fee with respect to the portion of the purchase amount that is funded equivalent to 3.10 % to 3.40 % per annum. For the year ended December 31, 2024, financing fees of $5.1 million were paid to the Macquarie Financing Providers, which are included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company’s obligations to the Macquarie Financing Providers under the Purchase Agreements were guaranteed by an affiliate of the Adviser. Beginning October 2, 2023, certain of the Company’s obligations to the Macquarie Financing Providers under the Macquarie Purchase Agreements were guaranteed by two non-affiliated entities.
In consideration of the two non-affiliated guarantors entering into the guarantees, the Company paid a fee based on the Net Carry with respect to each transaction to the respective guarantor of each investment. “Net Carry” means, an amount equal to the sum of (a) the interest (paid and accrued and unpaid) less (b) the financing fee paid to the Macquarie Financing Providers plus (c) the net realized gains/losses on each investment.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, $0.5 million of fees (the “backstop fees”) were paid to the two non-affiliated guarantors, which is included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
55
For the year ended December 31, 2024, all of the income, expenses and mark-to-market gain/loss under all Macquarie Purchase Agreements, in addition to other economic rights and obligations held by the Company, were recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Cliffwater LLC
On March 6, 2024, the Company entered into a facility agreement with Steamboat SPV LLC (the “Cliffwater Financing Provider”), a special purpose vehicle organized by Cliffwater LLC (the “Cliffwater Facility Agreement”). Under the Cliffwater Facility Agreement, the Company had forward obligations to purchase certain investments from the Cliffwater Financing Provider pursuant to the terms of the Agreement (the “Cliffwater Warehouse Investments”), subject to the following conditions: (a) that the Company had received cash funding from investor subscriptions of at least $200 million; and (b) that the Board had approved the purchase of the specific Cliffwater Warehouse Investments (together with the Macquarie Warehouse Conditions, the “Warehouse Conditions”).
The Cliffwater Warehouse Investments generally consist of privately negotiated senior secured and junior loans and notes, as well as unfunded revolving and term commitments, to upper middle market companies consistent with the Company’s investment strategy.
Until such time as the Company satisfied the Warehouse Conditions, which occurred on April 8, 2024, the Company had no obligation to purchase the Cliffwater Warehouse Investments nor be entitled to any benefits or subject to any obligations under the Cliffwater Facility Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $135.1 million of investments at principal ($4.7 million of which was unfunded) from the Cliffwater Financing Provider. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there are no forward obligations to settle the purchase of Cliffwater Warehouse Investments from the Cliffwater Financing Provider.
The price the Company paid to purchase the Cliffwater Warehouse Investment’s was based on the cash amount paid by the Cliffwater Financing Provider plus, among other amounts, accrued and unpaid interest, the portion of the original issue discount and fees attributable to the Cliffwater Financing Provider’s holding period and a financing fee of up to 150 basis points (the “Cliffwater Financing Fee”).
Note 9. Net Assets
In connection with its formation, the Company has the authority to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares at $0.01 per share par value. On December 18, 2023, HPS purchased 100 shares of the Company’s Common Shares at $25.00 per share, which were subsequently redeemed on June 30, 2025.
As of April, 8, 2024, the Company had satisfied the minimum offering requirement, and the Company’s Board had authorized the release of proceeds from escrow. As of such date, the Company issued and sold 8,827,880 shares at an offering price of $25.00 per share, and the Board authorized the release of $220.7 million to the Company as payment for such shares. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 0.51 % and 0.83 %, respectively, of shares outstanding were held by certain affiliates of the Adviser. Under the terms of the Company’s Declaration of Trust, all Common Shares have equal rights as to voting and, when they are issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
As of July 1, 2025, in reliance upon exemptive relief issued to the Company by the SEC, all of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares were converted into three separate classes, Class I Common Shares, Class D Common Shares and Class S Common Shares. All outstanding Common Shares immediately prior to the Share Class Conversion were subject to the same shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee as that applicable to the Class D Common Shares. Accordingly, for all periods prior to July 1, 2025, all share class activity for the existing common shares are presented under Class D Common Shares.
Until the release of proceeds from escrow, the per share purchase price for Common Shares in the Private Offering was $25.00 per share. Thereafter, the purchase price per share will equal the NAV per share, as of the effective date of the monthly share purchase date. The Managing Dealer will use its best efforts to sell shares but is not obligated to purchase or sell any specific amount of shares in the Private Offering.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan
The Company has adopted a distribution reinvestment plan, pursuant to which the Company will reinvest all cash distributions declared by the Company on behalf of the Company’s shareholders who do not elect to receive their distributions in cash as provided below. As a result, if the Company declares a cash distribution, then shareholders who have not opted out of the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares as described below, rather than receiving the cash distribution. Distributions on fractional shares will be credited to each participating shareholder’s account to three decimal places.
Character of Distributions
The Company may fund its cash distributions to shareholders from any source of funds available to the Company, including but not limited to offering proceeds, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, borrowings, dividends or other distributions paid to it on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense support from the Adviser, which is subject to recoupment.
Through September 30, 2025, a portion of the Company’s distributions resulted from expense support from the Adviser, and future distributions may result from expense support from the Adviser, each of which is subject to repayment by the Company within three years from the date of payment. The purpose of this arrangement avoids distributions being characterized as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Shareholders should understand that any such distribution is not based solely on the Company’s investment performance, and can only be sustained if the Company achieves positive investment performance in future periods and/or the Adviser continues to provide expense support. Shareholders should also understand that the Company’s future repayments of expense support will reduce the distributions that they would otherwise receive. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the performance necessary to sustain these distributions, or be able to pay distributions at all.
Sources of distributions, other than net investment income and realized gains on a U.S. GAAP basis, include required adjustments to U.S. GAAP net investment income in the current period to determine taxable income available for distributions. The following table reflects the sources of cash distributions on a U.S. GAAP basis that the Company has declared on its Common Shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

Share Repurchase Program
The Company has commenced a share repurchase program in which the Company intends to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5 % of the Company’s Common Shares outstanding (by number of shares) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. The Company’s Board may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of the Company’s shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter.
The Company expects to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers each quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year (or, in the case of shareholders who purchased shares in the Initial Closing, until at least March 31, 2025) will be repurchased at 98 % of the applicable NAV per share (the “Early Repurchase Deduction”). The one year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective repurchase date. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived, at the Company’s discretion, in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by the Company for the benefit of remaining shareholders. The Company intends to conduct the repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements.” This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which relate to future events, our future performance or financial condition and involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in any forward-looking statements. Dollar amounts are in thousands, except per share data, percentages and as otherwise noted.
Overview and Investment Framework
We are an externally managed, non-diversified closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. Formed as a Delaware statutory trust on August 10, 2023, we are externally managed by the Adviser, which is responsible for determining the portfolio composition, making investment decisions, monitoring investments, performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies and providing us with such other investment advisory and related services as may reasonably be required for the investment of capital. We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code beginning with our tax year ended December 31, 2024, and we intend to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify as a RIC in each taxable year thereafter.
We are a privately placed, perpetual-life BDC, which is a BDC whose shares are not listed for trading on a stock exchange or other securities market. We use the term “perpetual-life BDC” to describe an investment vehicle of indefinite duration, whose Common Shares are intended to be sold on a continuous basis at regular frequency by the BDC at a price generally equal to the BDC’s NAV per share. The Common Shares described herein have not been registered under the Securities Act, the securities laws of any other state or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. The Common Shares will be offered and sold under the exemption from registration under the Securities Act under Regulation D and Regulation S. Each purchaser will be required to represent that it is (i) either an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or, in the case of Common Shares sold outside the United States, not a “U.S. person” in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act and (ii) acquiring the Common Shares purchased by it for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution.
We do not intend to list our Common Shares on any securities exchange and our Common Shares will not be publicly traded. Subscriptions to purchase our Common Shares may be made on an ongoing basis, but investors currently may only purchase our Common Shares pursuant to accepted monthly subscription orders effective as of the first calendar day of each month. We, in our sole discretion, may determine to accept subscriptions on a less frequent basis than monthly and may begin accepting subscriptions on a quarterly (as opposed to monthly) basis (the “Subscription Frequency”) in the future. However, we may determine not to change the Subscription Frequency at all. The purchase price for the Common Shares in the Initial Closing was $25.00 per share. Thereafter, the purchase price per share equals the NAV per share, as of the last calendar day of the month immediately prior to the effective date of the share purchase. The Managing Dealer and the participating brokers will use their best efforts to sell shares, but are not obligated to purchase or sell any specific amount of shares. The Managing Dealer intends to enter into additional placement agreements with broker-dealers in connection with the Private Offering.
On May 13, 2025, the SEC issued an order (the “Multi-Class Order”) granting the Company’s application for exemptive relief from sections 18(a)(2), 18(c), 18(i) and 61(a) of the 1940 Act. Under the terms of the Multi-Class Order, the Company is permitted to offer multiple classes of its common shares with varying sales loads and/or asset-based service and/or distribution fees. As of July 1, 2025, in reliance upon exemptive relief issued to the Company by the SEC, all of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares were converted into three separate classes, Class I Common Shares, Class D Common Shares and Class S Common Shares. All outstanding Common Shares immediately prior to the Share Class Conversion were subject to the same shareholder servicing and/or distribution fee as that applicable to the Class D Common Shares. Accordingly, for all periods prior to July 1, 2025, all share class activity for the existing common shares are presented under Class D Common Shares.
Under our Investment Advisory Agreement, we have agreed to pay the Adviser a fee for its services. The fee consists of two components: a management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the management and incentive fee will ultimately be borne by the shareholders. Also, under the Administration Agreement, we have agreed to reimburse the Administrator for the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement. Such reimbursement includes our allocable portion of compensation (including salaries, bonuses and benefits), overhead (including rent, office equipment and utilities) and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, including but not limited to compensation paid to: (i) our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs; (ii) investor relations, legal, operations and other non-investment professionals at the Administrator that perform duties for us; and (iii) any internal audit group personnel of the Administrator or any of its affiliates, subject to the limitations described in the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreements. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator may delegate its obligations under the Administration Agreement to an affiliate or to a third party and we will reimburse the Administrator for any services performed for us by such affiliate or third party.
65
Our investment objective is to produce attractive, risk-adjusted returns in the form of current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in newly originated, privately negotiated senior secured debt and junior capital of upper middle market and larger scale companies predominantly in the U.S. We use the term “upper middle market” to generally refer to companies with EBITDA of $75 million to $1 billion annually or revenue of $250 million to $5 billion annually at the time of our investment.
We have and may continue to invest in smaller or larger companies if the opportunity presents attractive investment characteristics and risk-adjusted returns. While our investment strategy focuses primarily on companies in the United States, we also intend to leverage HPS’s global presence to invest in companies in Europe, Australia and other locations outside of the U.S. subject to compliance with BDC requirements to invest at least 70% assets in “eligible portfolio companies”.
We intend to invest across most of the sub-segments of the private credit market rather than focusing only on leveraged buyout (“LBO”) driven direct lending. We intend to allocate our private investment capital dynamically across the senior secured direct lending, junior capital, and special situations segments of the private credit market to seek to capture what HPS believes are compelling risk-adjusted return opportunities within different market environments. Specifically, we will seek to achieve our investment objective by pairing a primary allocation to current income focused, first lien, senior secured, and (to a lesser extent) unsecured private credit investments with a smaller, dynamic allocation to more capital-appreciation oriented private junior capital investments.
The income-oriented portion of the Company’s portfolio primarily focuses on direct lending investments with some element of perceived business or transactional complexity that require a high degree of structuring expertise to mitigate potential risk. In connection with this portion of the portfolio, the Company will seek to invest primarily in directly originated, privately negotiated senior secured debt of upper-middle market and large-scale borrowers with more complicated business models or capital structures, esoteric collateral, and/or that face timing pressures associated with strategic or refinancing needs. The loans within this portion of the portfolio are expected to be primarily floating rate instruments that typically pay current income on a quarterly basis. As a result, returns associated with this portion of the strategy are expected to be largely current income-oriented and to be derived predominately from contractual coupons, upfront fees/original issue discounts and, in some instances, prepayment penalties. To a lesser extent, the Company also participates in privately negotiated special situation opportunities. These investments are typically senior secured, but may also take the form of subordinated debt or preferred equity and may often be accompanied by equity or equity-linked securities as a form of potential return enhancement. The debt investments within this portion of the strategy may be floating or fixed rate and coupons may be paid in the form of cash or PIK interest.
The capital appreciation portion of the Company’s portfolio focuses on investments in privately negotiated junior debt, and debt-like securities, and to a lesser extent, select common or other equity investments. The junior debt and debt-like securities may include unsecured debt, mezzanine securities, preferred equity and convertible securities and may be accompanied by equity-related securities (such as options or warrants). In connection with this portion of the portfolio, the Company will seek to invest primarily in large scale companies (average EBITDA typically in excess of $400mm) in developed markets that operate in industries we believe are less cyclical and have relatively low capital intensity. The junior debt and debt-like investments may be floating or fixed rate. Returns associated with this portion of the portfolio are also expected to be derived predominately from contractual coupons, upfront fees/original issue discounts and in some instances, prepayment penalties; however, a portion of coupons and/or returns associated with junior debt and debt-like investments are expected to be non-cash, in the form of PIK interest, dividends or capital gains.
Finally, our investment portfolio also includes a smaller allocation to more liquid credit investments such as non-investment grade broadly syndicated loans, leveraged loans, secured and unsecured corporate bonds, and securitized credit. We intend to use these investments to maintain liquidity for our share repurchase program and manage cash before investing subscription proceeds into originated loans, while seeking attractive risk-adjusted investment returns. We may also invest in publicly traded securities of larger corporate issuers on an opportunistic basis when market conditions create compelling potential return opportunities, subject to compliance with BDC requirements to invest at least 70% of assets in “eligible portfolio companies.”
Under normal circumstances, we will invest at least 80% of our net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in capital instruments (securities throughout the capital structure of a company) issued by corporate issuers (including loans, notes, bonds and other corporate debt or equity securities).
We have used and intend to continue to use leverage to seek to enhance our returns. Our leverage levels will vary over time in response to general market conditions, the size and composition of our investment portfolio and the views of our Adviser and Board. We expect that our debt-to-equity ratio will generally range between 0.5x and 1.0x. While our leverage employed may be greater or less than these levels from time to time, including until such time that we have raised substantial proceeds in this offering and acquired a diversified portfolio of investments, we are subject to the limitations set forth in the 1940 Act, which currently allows us to borrow up to a 2:1 debt-to-equity ratio.
66
Our leverage may take the form of revolving or term loans from financial institutions, secured or unsecured bonds, or securitization of portions of our investment portfolio via collateralized loan obligations or preferred shares. When determining whether to borrow money and assessing the various borrowing structure alternatives, we analyze the maturity, rate structure and covenant package of the proposed borrowings in the context of our investment portfolio, pre-existing borrowings and market outlook.
Affiliates of the Adviser and the Company have received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits the Company to co-invest with certain other persons, including, but not limited to, certain affiliates of the Adviser and certain funds and accounts managed and controlled by the Adviser or its affiliates. Subject to the 1940 Act and the conditions of any such co-investment order issued by the SEC, the Company may, under certain circumstances, co-invest with certain affiliated accounts in investments that are suitable for the Company and one or more of such affiliated accounts.
On July 1, 2025, BlackRock acquired the business and assets of HPS, with 100% of consideration paid in BlackRock equity. The HPS/BlackRock Transaction brings together BlackRock’s corporate and asset owner relationships with HPS’s diversified origination and capital flexibility and creates an integrated private credit franchise with approximately $280 billion in client assets, including $190 billion of private credit assets. BlackRock and HPS have formed a new private financing solutions business unit (“PFS”) led by Scott Kapnick, Scot French, and Michael Patterson, founding partners of HPS. This combined platform, which has more than 520 investment professionals and approximately 1,200 employees globally, offers broad capabilities across senior and junior credit solutions, asset-based finance, real estate, CLOs and GP-LP solutions. As part of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction, Scott Kapnick, Scot French, and Michael Patterson have joined BlackRock’s Global Executive Committee, and Scott Kapnick has been appointed as an observer to the BlackRock Board. The Adviser remains responsible for the investment activities of the Company. Colbert Cannon and Grishma Parekh resigned from the Board effective upon the closing of the HPS/Blackrock Transaction to comply with the Section 15(f) safe harbor provisions of the 1940 Act. Mr. Cannon and Ms. Parekh continue to serve in their existing roles at HPS and the Adviser and, with respect to Mr. Cannon, as a member of the Investment Committee of the Company. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the HPS/BlackRock Transaction—The HPS/BlackRock Transaction” for further details.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Investments
We focus primarily on senior secured loans and securities of private U.S. companies. Our level of investment activity (both the number of investments and the size of each investment) can and will vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to private companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.
Revenues
We generate revenues in the form of interest and fee income on debt investments, capital gains, and dividend income from our equity investments in our portfolio companies. Our senior and subordinated debt investments are expected to bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. Interest on debt securities is generally payable monthly, quarterly or semiannually. In some cases, some of our investments may provide for deferred interest payments or PIK interest. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid PIK interest generally will become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue from various fees in the ordinary course of business in connection with transactions. Original issue discounts and market discounts or premiums will be capitalized, and we will accrete or amortize such amounts as interest income. We will record prepayment premiums on loans and debt securities as interest income. Dividend income, if any, will be recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.
Expenses
Except as specifically provided below, all investment professionals and staff of the Adviser, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory services to us, and the base compensation, bonus and benefits, and the routine overhead expenses, of such personnel allocable to such services, will be provided and paid for by the Adviser. We will bear all other costs and expenses of our operations, administration and transactions, including, but not limited to:
•investment advisory fees, including management fees and incentive fees, to the Adviser, pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement;
•our allocable portion of compensation (including salaries, bonuses and benefits), overhead (including rent, office equipment and utilities) and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement, including but not limited to: (i) our chief compliance officer, chief financial officer and their respective staffs; (ii)
67
investor relations, legal, operations and other non-investment professionals at the Administrator that perform duties for us; and (iii) any internal audit group personnel of HPS or any of its affiliates; and
•all other expenses of our operations, administrations and transactions.
Under the Expense Support Agreement, the Adviser agreed to advance all of our organization and offering expenses on our behalf through the Initial Closing. We are obligated to reimburse the Adviser for such advanced expenses (including any additional expenses the Adviser elects to pays on our behalf), subject to the provisions of the Expense Support Agreement. Any reimbursements will not exceed actual expenses incurred by the Adviser and its affiliates.
From time to time, the Adviser, the Administrator or their affiliates may pay third-party providers of goods or services. We will reimburse the Adviser, the Administrator or such affiliates thereof for any such amounts paid on our behalf. From time to time, the Adviser and the Administrator may defer or waive fees and/or rights to be reimbursed for expenses. All of the foregoing expenses will ultimately be borne by our shareholders.
Costs and expenses of the Adviser and the Administrator that are eligible for reimbursement by us will be reasonably allocated to us on the basis of time spent, assets under management, usage rates, proportionate holdings, a combination thereof or other reasonable methods determined by the Administrator.
Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement
We have entered into an Expense Support Agreement with the Adviser. For additional information see “Note 3. Fees, Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions” to the consolidated financial statements.

(1)Computed as (a) the annual stated interest rate or yield plus the annual accretion of discounts and less any annual amortization of premiums, as applicable, on accruing (i) debt and (ii) other income producing securities, divided by (b) total accruing (i) debt and (ii) other income producing securities (at fair value or amortized cost, as applicable). Actual yields earned over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented above.
(2)Computed as the annual stated interest rate or yield plus the annual accretion of discounts and less any annual amortization of premiums, as applicable, on all investments of the Company, divided by total investments of the Company (at fair value or amortized cost, as applicable). Actual yields earned over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented above.
(3)Calculated with respect to all level 3 investments in the investment portfolio for which fair value is determined by the Adviser (in its capacity as the investment adviser of the Company, with assistance, at least quarterly, from a third-party valuation firm, and overseen by the Company’s Board), and excludes quoted assets and investments with no reported EBITDA or where EBITDA, in the Adviser’s judgment made in its discretion, was not a material component of the original investment thesis, such as LTV-based loans, NAV-based loans or reorganized equity. Weighted average EBITDA is weighted based on the fair value of the total applicable level 3 investments. Excludes investments on non-accrual status. Figures are derived from the most recent financial statements from portfolio companies.

Total investment income increased to $45.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $18.9 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by our deployment of capital and the increased balance of our investments. The size of our portfolio at fair value was $1,998.2 million and our weighted average yield on debt and income producing securities at fair value was 10.7%.
Total investment income increased to $115.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $38.6 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by our deployment of capital, the increased balance of our investments and by increased dividend income.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, PIK income represented 15.3% and 13.3% of total investment income, respectively. We expect that PIK income will vary based on the elections of certain borrowers.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, PIK income represented 13.6% and 14.6% of total investment income, respectively. We expect that PIK income will vary based on the elections of certain borrowers.

Interest Expense
Total interest expense (including unused fees and amortization of deferred financing costs and debt issuance costs) increased to $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $1.7 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by increased borrowings and issuance of unsecured notes. The average principal debt outstanding increased to $726.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $53.2 million for the same period in the prior year.
Total interest expense (including unused fees and amortization of deferred financing costs and debt issuance costs) increased to $27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $8.9 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by increased borrowings and issuance of unsecured notes. The average principal debt outstanding increased to $541.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $52.4 million for the same period in the prior year.
Management Fees
Management fees increased to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $1.6 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in net assets. Management fees increased to $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $2.5 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in net assets. Management fees are payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the value of our net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month. The Adviser agreed to waive its base management fee from the Initial Closing through June 30, 2025.
Income Based Incentive Fees
Income based incentive fees increased to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $2.1 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to our deployment of capital and an increase in Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. Income based incentive fees increased to $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $3.4 million for the
74
same period in the prior year primarily due to our deployment of capital and an increase in Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income Returns. The Adviser agreed to waive its income based incentive fee from the Initial Closing through June 30, 2025.
Capital Gains Incentive Fees
U.S. GAAP requires that the capital gains incentive fee accrual consider the cumulative aggregate unrealized capital appreciation in the calculation, as a capital gains incentive fee would be payable if such unrealized capital appreciation were realized, even though such unrealized capital appreciation is not permitted to be considered in calculating the fee actually payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. This GAAP accrual is calculated using the aggregate cumulative realized capital gains and losses and aggregate cumulative unrealized capital depreciation included in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee plus the aggregate cumulative unrealized capital appreciation, net of any expense associated with cumulative unrealized capital depreciation or appreciation. If such amount is positive at the end of a period, then GAAP requires us to record a capital gains incentive fee equal to 15.0% of such cumulative amount, less the aggregate amount of actual capital gains incentive fees paid or capital gains incentive fees accrued under GAAP in all prior periods.
Capital gains based incentive fees were $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $0.1 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to net unrealized gains on investments, none of which were payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. Capital gains based incentive fees were $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $0.4 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to net unrealized gains on investments, none of which were payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The accrual for any capital gains incentive fee under U.S. GAAP in a given period may result in an additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reduction of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less in the prior period. If such cumulative amount is negative, then there is no accrual.
Other Expenses
Organization costs and offering costs include expenses incurred in our initial formation and our continuous offering. Professional fees include legal, audit, tax, valuation, and other professional fees incurred related to the management of the Company. Administrative service expenses represent fees paid to the Administrator for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the administration agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers, their respective staff and other non-investment professionals that perform duties for us. Other general and administrative expenses include insurance, filing, research, our sub-administrator, subscriptions and other costs.
Total other expenses increased to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, from $1.5 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by an increase of professional fees and other general & administrative expenses due to servicing a growing portfolio.
Total other expenses increased to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $3.5 million for the same period in the prior year primarily driven by an increase of professional fees, administrative service expenses and other general & administrative expenses due to servicing a growing portfolio.
The Managing Dealer has agreed to waive the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees from the Initial Closing through March 31, 2025. Certain other expenses were borne by the Adviser, subject to future reimbursement pursuant to terms of the Expense Support Agreement. For additional information see “Note 3. Fees, Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions” to the consolidated financial statements.
Shareholder servicing and/or distributions fees increased to $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from $0.3 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in shares outstanding. Shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees increased to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in shares outstanding.
Under the terms of the Prior Administration Agreement, the Administration Agreement, the Prior Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Advisory Agreement, we reimburse the Administrator and Adviser, respectively, for services performed for us. In addition, pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the Administrator and Adviser may delegate its obligations under these agreements to an affiliate or to a third party and we reimburse the Administrator and Adviser for any services performed for us by such affiliate or third party. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Administrator charged $0.4 million, as compared to $0.4 million for the same period in the prior year, for certain costs and expenses allocable to the Company under the terms of the Administration
75
Agreement. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Administrator charged $1.4 million, an increase from $0.7 million for the same period in the prior year, for certain costs and expenses allocable to the Company under the terms of the Administration Agreement.
We entered into an Expense Support Agreement with the Adviser. For additional information see “Note 3. Fees, Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions” to the consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes, Including Excise Taxes
We have elected to be treated for federal income tax purposes as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code beginning with our tax year ended December 31, 2024, and we intend to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify as a RIC in each taxable year thereafter. To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute to our shareholders in each taxable year generally at least 90% of the sum of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), and net tax-exempt income (if any) for that taxable year. To maintain our tax treatment as a RIC, we, among other things, intend to make the requisite distributions to our shareholders, which generally relieve us from corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes.
Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we may carry forward taxable income (including net capital gains, if any) in excess of current year distributions from the current tax year into the next tax year and pay a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such taxable income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year distributions from such income, we will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred U.S. federal excise tax of $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $0.3 million and $0.3 million of U.S. federal excise tax, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we generated net realized gains (losses) on investments of $(3.5) million, primarily driven by realized losses of $(3.4) million on the restructuring of a private debt investment (New Era Technology, Inc.). We generated realized losses of $(2.9) million on foreign currency forwards contracts, primarily as a result of fluctuations in the EUR exchange rate, which was largely offset by unrealized gains on foreign currency as described below.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we generated net realized gains (losses) on investments of $(4.1) million, primarily driven by realized losses of $(3.7) million on the restructuring of private debt investments (realized loss of $(0.3) million on Lasko Operating Holdings, LLC and of $(3.4) million on New Era Technology, Inc.) and net realized losses of $(0.3) million primarily from the sale of syndicated loans. We generated realized losses of $(6.9) million on foreign currency forwards contracts, primarily as a result of fluctuations in the EUR and GBP exchange rates, which was largely offset by unrealized gains on foreign currency as described below.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment portfolio was $14.8 million (excluding the impact of foreign currency) due to spread tightening in the private credit markets, which was offset by foreign currency unrealized losses of $(1.9) million on investments (included in unrealized gains on non-controlled/non-affiliated investments) primarily as a result of fluctuations in the EUR and GBP exchange rates. The remaining $5.7 million of the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) represents the net unrealized gains as a result of foreign currency fluctuations impacting the value of our foreign currency forward contracts, foreign debt and cash balances.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investment portfolio was $11.8 million (excluding the impact of foreign currency) due to spread tightening in the private credit markets and foreign currency unrealized gains of $13.5 million on investments (included in unrealized gains on non-controlled/non-affiliated investments) primarily as a result of fluctuations in the EUR and GBP exchange rates. The remaining $(6.5) million of the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) represents the net unrealized losses as a result of foreign currency fluctuations impacting the value of our foreign currency forward contracts, foreign debt and cash balances.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the fair value of our debt investments increased due to spread tightening in the private credit markets. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 we generated foreign currency unrealized gains of $2.1 million on investments (included in unrealized gains on non-controlled/non-affiliated investments) primarily as a result of fluctuations in the GBP and EUR exchange rates.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the fair value of our debt investments increased due to spread tightening in the private credit markets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 we generated foreign currency unrealized gains of $1.5 million on investments (included in unrealized gains on non-controlled/non-affiliated investments) primarily as a result of fluctuations in the GBP and EUR exchange rates.

Realized and Unrealized Gains/(Losses) on Foreign Currency
In the ordinary course of business, we may invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies. This exposes us to foreign exchange rate risk should the value of local currencies decline relative to the United States dollar. As a result, we aim to hedge substantially all of our foreign currency exposure by entering into foreign currency forward contracts and borrowing in foreign currency from our credit facilities, which reduces our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on foreign currency fluctuations impacting the value of the investment portfolio, foreign currency forward contracts, and foreign debt and cash balances was $0.8 million and $0.0 million, respectively. When we are hedging foreign currency exposure through forward contracts and the local currency base rate (i.e., funding cost) is lower or higher than our functional currency, there is positive or negative “carry” embedded in the forward contract. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the net gains on foreign currency were driven primarily by the positive carry from base rate differentials on forward contracts for local currencies versus the U.S. Dollar.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) on foreign currency fluctuations impacting the value of the investment portfolio, foreign currency forward contracts, and foreign debt and cash balances was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
Interest Rate Swaps
We use interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk associated with our fixed rate liabilities. We have designated certain interest rate swaps to be in a hedge accounting relationship. See “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies” for additional disclosure regarding our accounting for derivative instruments designated in a hedge accounting relationship. See our schedule of investments for additional disclosure regarding these derivative instruments. See “Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7. Borrowings” for additional disclosure regarding the carrying value of our debt.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate cash primarily from the net proceeds of our continuous offering of Common Shares, proceeds from net borrowings on our credit facility, unsecured note issuances, short-term borrowings, income earned and repayments on principal on our investments. The primary uses of our cash and cash equivalents are for (i) originating and purchasing investments, (ii) funding the costs of our operations (including fees paid to our Adviser and expense reimbursements paid to our Administrator), (iii) debt service, repayment and other financing costs of our borrowings, (iv) funding repurchases under our share repurchase program and (v) cash distributions to our shareholders.
As of September 30, 2025, we had one corporate-level revolving credit facility and unsecured note issuances. As of December 31, 2024, we had one corporate-level revolving credit facility. From time to time, we may enter into additional credit facilities, increase the size of our existing credit facilities and/or issue debt securities, including unsecured notes. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to incur borrowings, issue debt securities or issue preferred stock, if immediately after the
78
borrowing or issuance, the ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness plus preferred stock, is at least 150%. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had an aggregate amount of $892.6 million and $289.8 million, respectively, of debt outstanding and our asset coverage ratio was 223.0% and 325.0%, respectively. We seek to carefully consider our unfunded commitments for the purpose of planning our ongoing financial leverage.
Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025, taken together with our $532.4 million of available capacity under our credit facility (subject to borrowing base availability) and the continuous offering of our Common Shares is expected to be sufficient for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the near term and for the foreseeable future. This determination is based in part on our expectations for the timing of funding investment purchases and the timing and amount of future proceeds from sales of our Common Shares and the use of existing and future financing arrangements. As of September 30, 2025, we had significant amounts payable and commitments for existing and new investments, which we planned to fund using available borrowing capacity under our credit facility. Additionally, we held $321.0 million of Level 2 investments as of September 30, 2025, which could provide additional liquidity if necessary.
Although we have historically been able to obtain sufficient borrowing capacity, any disruption in the financial markets or any other negative economic development could restrict our access to financing in the future. We may not be able to find new financing for future investments or liquidity needs and, even if we are able to obtain such financing, such financing may not be on as favorable terms as we could have obtained in the past. These factors may limit our ability to make new investments and adversely impact our results of operations.
As of September 30, 2025, we had $27.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $912.4 million, primarily as a result of funding portfolio investments of $1,146.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from sale of investments and principal repayments of $173.6 million and other operating uses of $60.3 million. Cash provided by financing activities was $929.4 million during the period, primarily as a result of new share issuances related to $393.0 million of subscriptions and net borrowings of $600.5 million.

With respect to distributions, we have adopted an “opt out” distribution reinvestment plan for shareholders. As a result, in the event of a declared cash distribution or other distribution, each shareholder that has not “opted out” of the distribution reinvestment plan will have their distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares rather than receiving cash distributions. Shareholders who receive distributions in the form of shares will be subject to the same U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.
Sources of distributions, other than net investment income and realized gains on a U.S. GAAP basis, include required adjustments to U.S. GAAP net investment income in the current period to determine taxable income available for distributions. The following table reflects the sources of cash distributions on a U.S. GAAP basis that we declared on our Common Shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

Share Repurchase Program
We have commenced a share repurchase program in which we intend to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of our Common Shares outstanding (by number of shares) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. Our Board may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time in its discretion. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. Upon a suspension of our share repurchase program, our Board will consider at least quarterly whether the continued suspension of our share repurchase program remains in our best interest and the best interest of our shareholders. However, our Board is not required to authorize the recommencement of our share repurchase program within any specified period of time. Our Board may also determine to terminate our share repurchase program if required by applicable law or in connection with a transaction in which our shareholders receive liquidity for their Common Shares, such as a sale or merger of the Company or listing of our Common Shares on a national securities exchange.
82
Under the share repurchase program, to the extent we offer to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, we expect to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers each quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year (or, in the case of shareholders who purchased shares in the Initial Closing, until at least March 31, 2025) will be repurchased at 98% of the applicable NAV per share (the “Early Repurchase Deduction”). The one-year holding period is measured as of the subscription closing date immediately following the prospective repurchase date. The Early Repurchase Deduction may be waived, at our discretion, in the case of repurchase requests arising from the death, divorce or qualified disability of the holder. The Early Repurchase Deduction will be retained by us for the benefit of remaining shareholders. We intend to conduct the repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased by us pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Portfolio Company Commitments
Our investment portfolio contains and is expected to continue to contain debt investments which are in the form of lines of credit or delayed draw commitments, which require us to provide funding when requested by portfolio companies in accordance with underlying loan agreements. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had unfunded delayed draw term loans, revolvers and preferred equity with an aggregate principal amount of $228.9 million and $85.4 million, respectively.
Warehousing Transactions
We entered into warehouse transactions whereby we agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase certain assets from a parties unaffiliated with HPS (the “Warehousing Transactions”). Such warehousing transactions were designed to assist us in deploying capital upon receipt of subscriptions. The portfolio investments primarily consisted of newly originated, privately negotiated senior secured term loans and junior capital commitments to middle market companies consistent with our investment strategy. For additional information, see “Note 8. Commitment and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, we may become a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of its business. At September 30, 2025, management is not aware of any material pending or threatened litigation.
Related-Party Transactions
We entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
•the Investment Advisory Agreement;
•the Administration Agreement;
•the Expense Support Agreement; and
•the Managing Dealer Agreement
In addition to the aforementioned agreements, we, the Adviser and its affiliates have received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits us, among other things, to co-invest with certain other persons, including certain affiliates of the Adviser and certain funds and accounts managed and controlled by the Adviser and its affiliates, subject to certain terms and conditions and in a manner consistent with

our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. For additional information, see “Note 3. Fees, Expenses, Agreements and Related Party Transactions” to the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ materially.
For a description of our critical accounting policies, see “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies in our consolidated financial statements included in this report. We consider the most significant accounting policies to be those related to our Investments, Revenue Recognition, Distributions, and Income Taxes. We consider the most significant critical estimate to be the fair value measurement of investments. The critical accounting policies and estimates should be read in connection with our risk factors listed under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Investments and Fair Value Measurements
Consistent with GAAP and the 1940 Act, we conduct a valuation of our investments, pursuant to which our NAV is determined. Our investments are valued on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if required under the 1940 Act. The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. The majority of investments are not quoted or traded in an active market, and as such, their fair values are determined using valuation techniques, primarily discounted cash flows, and to a lesser extent, market multiples and recent comparable transactions. The most significant inputs in applying the discounted cash flow approach and the market multiples approach are the selected discount rates and multiples, respectively. The selection of these inputs is based on a combination of factors that are specific to the underlying portfolio companies such as financial performance and certain factors that are observable in the market, such as current interest rates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of these valuations, and any change in these valuations on the consolidated financial statements. For further details of our investments and fair value measurement accounting policy, see “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies—Investments” and “Note 5. Fair Value Measurements”.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are subject to financial market risks, including valuation risk and interest rate risk.
Valuation Risk
We have invested, and plan to continue to invest, primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities of private companies. Most of our investments will not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser as our valuation designee under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, based on, among other things, the input of independent third-party valuation firms retained by us, and in accordance with our valuation policy. There is no single standard for determining fair value. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we may realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.
85
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. We intend to fund portions of our investments with borrowings, and at such time, our net investment income will be affected by the difference between the rate at which we invest and the rate at which we borrow. Accordingly, we cannot assure shareholders that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.
As of September 30, 2025, 94.9% of our performing debt investments at fair value were at floating rates. Additionally, we entered into interest rate swaps with certain of our Unsecured Notes in order to align the interest rates of our liabilities with our investment portfolio. Based on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2025, the following table shows the annualized impact on net income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates (considering base rate floors and ceilings for floating rate instruments) and assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:
| Interest Income | Interest Expense | Net Income | |||||||||||||||
| Up 300 basis points | $ | 51,737 | $ | (26,777) | $ | 24,960 | |||||||||||
| Up 200 basis points | $ | 34,491 | $ | (17,851) | $ | 16,640 | |||||||||||
| Up 100 basis points | $ | 17,246 | $ | (8,926) | $ | 8,320 | |||||||||||
| Down 100 basis points | $ | (17,213) | $ | 8,926 | $ | (8,287) | |||||||||||
| Down 200 basis points | $ | (33,163) | $ | 17,851 | $ | (15,312) | |||||||||||
| Down 300 basis points | $ | (47,292) | $ | 26,777 | $ | (20,515) | |||||||||||
We may in the future hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using hedging instruments such as additional interest rate swaps, futures, options and forward contracts. While hedging activities may mitigate our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, certain hedging transactions that we may enter into in the future, such as interest rate swap agreements, may also limit our ability to participate in the benefits of changes in interest rates with respect to our portfolio investments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. Our business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against us.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and set forth below, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in “Item 1A Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes during the three months ended September 30, 2025 to the risk factors set forth in Part 1. Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Except as described and as previously reported by the Company on its current reports on Form 8-K, we did not sell any securities during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Share Repurchases
We have commenced a share repurchase program in which we intend to offer to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of our Common Shares outstanding (by number of shares) as of the close of the previous calendar quarter. Our Board may amend or suspend the share repurchase program at any time if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our shareholders, such as when a repurchase offer would place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company as a whole, or should we otherwise determine that investing our liquid assets in originated loans or other illiquid investments rather than repurchasing our shares is in the best interests of the Company as a whole. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. We intend to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased by us pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.
Under our share repurchase program, to the extent we offer to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, we expect to repurchase shares pursuant to quarterly tender offers using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the applicable quarter, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be repurchased at 98% of such NAV.
The following table sets forth information regarding repurchases of our common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (dollars in thousands):
| Offer Date | Repurchase Deadline Request | Purchase Price per Share | Number of Shares Repurchased (all classes) | Amount Repurchased (all classes) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| May 1, 2025 | May 30, 2025 | $ | 26.44 | 405,989 | 1.31 | % | ||||||||||||||||||||
| August 1, 2025 | August 29, 2025 | $ | 26.78 | 105,214 | 0.29 | % | ||||||||||||||||||||
