.50% as opposed to a single quarter measurement and became subject to an Incentive Fee Cap (as defined below) based on the Company’s Cumulative Net Return (as defined below). The amendment to the Original Investment Advisory Agreement did not result in higher fees (on a cumulative basis) payable to the Prior Adviser than the fees that would have otherwise been payable to the Prior Adviser under the Original Investment Advisory Agreement.On November 7, 2024, the Board approved the Prior Adviser’s assignment of the Original A&R Investment Advisory Agreement to the Adviser pursuant to Rule 2a-6 under the 1940 Act, effective January 1, 2025. The Board, including a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), also approved the second amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) to acknowledge such assignment. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2025, the Adviser became the Company’s investment adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. Further, on November 7, 2024, the Board approved the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and together with the Investment Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”) between the Company, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2025, the Sub-Adviser became the Company’s investment sub-adviser pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement. These changes were the result of a reorganization of certain subsidiaries of Blackstone and did not result in any change in the aggregate fees paid by the Company. Further, the nature and level of services provided to the Company remain the same, as well as the personnel that provide investment management services to the Company on behalf of the Advisers.The Advisory Agreements were most recently renewed and approved by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, on April 30, 2025, for a one-year period ending on May 31, 2026, and, unless terminated earlier, will renew 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 Independent Trustees. The Company may terminate the Advisory Agreements, without payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written
