 registered public accounting firm; and (f) acting as a liaison between the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the Board.

Clark, and Michelle Greene, all of whom have been determined not to be “interested persons” of the Company under the 1940 Act and who are “independent” as defined in the NYSE Listing Standards Robert Bass serves as the Chairperson of the Audit Committee.

The Board has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are “financially literate” within the meaning of the NYSE Listing Standards and has designated Robert Bass as the Company’s “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in the rules promulgated by the SEC, and as required by NYSE Listing Standards.

The Company’s Audit Committee charter is available on the Company’s website, www.bxsl.com, under the “Shareholder Resources” tab by selecting “Corporate Governance.”

The Board has determined that the service of Mr. Bass on the audit committees of more than three public companies does not impair his ability to effectively serve on the Company’s audit committee, given Mr. Bass’s extensive experience as an audit professional, his proficiency in accounting, and his knowledge of the Company.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Company’s Board has a Nominating and Governance Committee that is responsible for selecting and nominating the Company’s Independent Trustees for election as trustees to the Board of the Company. The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Robert Bass, Tracy Collins, Vicki Fuller, James F. Clark, and Michelle Greene, all of whom have been determined not to be “interested persons” of the Company under the 1940 Act and who are “independent” as defined in the NYSE Listing Standards. Ms. Collins serves as Chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee. 

When vacancies or creations occur, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider trustee candidates recommended by a variety of sources to nominate for election by the Company’s shareholders. While the Nominating and Governance Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of the Company’s Independent Trustees, the Nominating and Governance Committee may accept nominees recommended by a shareholder as it deems appropriate. Shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee may do so by submitting their recommendation with biographical information and a statement as to the qualifications of the proposed nominee to the Secretary of the Company at 345 Park Avenue, 31st Floor, New York
