Management

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. Our Board elects the Company’s executive officers, who serve at the discretion of the Board. The responsibilities of the Board include, among other things, the oversight of our investment activities, the quarterly and non-quarterly valuation of our assets, oversight of our financing arrangements and corporate governance activities. Our Board consists of seven-members, five of whom are not “interested persons” of the Company or of the Adviser as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act and are “independent,” as determined by the Board. These individuals are referred to as independent trustees. In addition to the information provided below, each trustee possesses the following attributes, which the Board believes has prepared them to be effective trustees: Mr. Bass, experience as an executive and service as a board member; Ms. Collins, experience as an executive and service as a board member of another registered management investment company; Ms. Fuller, experience as an executive and service as a board member of other registered management investment companies; Mr. Clark, experience as an investment professional; Ms. Greene, experience as an executive and service as a board member of a national market system exchange; Mr. Marshall, experience as an executive, investment professional and leadership roles with Blackstone Credit & Insurance and Blackstone; and Mr. Sawhney, experience as an executive and leadership roles with Blackstone,

Effective October 18, 2021, the Board was divided into three classes, with the members of each class serving staggered, three-year terms. The terms of our Class I trustees will expire at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders; the terms of our Class II trustees will expire at the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders; and the terms of our Class III trustees will expire at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders. On September 12, 2024, the Company held its 2024 annual meeting of shareholders, at which, among other things, our Class III trustees were elected to the Board to serve as trustees until the later of the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
