 members of the Investment Committee and includes investment professionals from both our Liquid Credit and Private Credit businesses. On a quarterly basis, the watch list is also reviewed in depth with Blackstone senior management including President and Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Gray, Chief Financial Officer Michael Chae, and Global Co -ChiefInvestment Officer Kenneth Caplan. Valuation Process .Each quarter, we will value investments in our portfolio, and such values will be disclosed each quarter in reports filed with the SEC. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the Board reviews the valuation recommendations of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) and determines the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith, based on the input of the Audit Committee, the Advisers’ valuation committee and where applicable, the independent valuation firms and other external service providers, based on procedures adopted by, and subject to the supervision of, the Board. 13 Managerial Assistance .As a BDC, we must offer, and provide upon request, significant managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies except where the Company purchases securities of an issuer in conjunction with one or more other persons acting together, one of the other persons in the group makes available such managerial assistance. This assistance could involve, among other things, monitoring the operations of our portfolio companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with and advising officers of portfolio companies and providing other organizational and financial guidance, including through the Value Creation Program. The Advisers and the Administrators will provide such managerial assistance on our behalf to portfolio companies that request this assistance. To the extent fees are paid for these services, we, rather than the Advisers, will retain any fees paid for such assistance. Exit In addition to payments of principal and interest, we expect the primary methods for the strategy to realize returns on its investments to include refinancings, sales of portfolio companies, and in some cases initial public offerings and secondary offerings. While many debt securities in which we will invest have stated maturities of five to eight years, based on Blackstone Credit & Insurance’s past experience, we believe most of these securities will be redeemed or sold prior to maturity. These securities often have call protection that requires an issuer to pay a premium if it redeems in the early years of an investment. However, there is no assurance that our investments will achieve realization events as a result of refinancings, sales of portfolio companies or public offerings and these realization events will become more unlikely when conditions in the credit and capital markets have deteriorated
