. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials provides instructions on how to authorize your proxy via the Internet or by telephone or vote in person at the Meeting or to request a paper proxy card, which will contain instructions for authorizing a proxy by the Internet, by telephone or by returning a signed paper proxy card. How can I access the proxy statement and Annual Report? This proxy statement and the Annual Report, including audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, are available upon request, without charge, by writing to the Company at c/o Blackstone Private Credit Strategies LLC, 345 Park Avenue, 31st Floor, New York, New York 10154 or via the Internet at www.bxsl.com or www.sec.gov. What am I voting on? At the Meeting, in addition to transacting such other business as may properly come before the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof, shareholders will consider and vote on the following proposals as to the Company:

| 1. | Shareholders are being asked to elect three (3) trustees of the Company (each, a “Trustee,” and collectively, the “Trustees”), to hold office for the term indicated and until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified; and |

The Board of Trustees unanimously recommends that you (i) vote “FOR” the election of the nominees (each, a “Nominee,” and collectively, the “Nominees”) proposed by the Board of Trustees and described in this proxy statement and (ii) vote “FOR” the proposal to ratify the appointment of Deloitte as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Because the second proposal is a “routine matter” per the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules and instructions, brokers will have discretionary authority to vote for the ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in the event that they do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of any common shares of beneficial interest of the Company held of record by a broker or its nominees on behalf of

beneficial owners (“Broker Securities”) and your broker will be permitted to vote any Broker Securities with respect to this proposal. You can vote for the Nominees and on the other matter by following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and voting by Internet or telephone. These proposals are discussed in greater detail in this proxy statement. What constitutes a quorum? The
