 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 notice. The Advisory Agreements will automatically terminate in the event of their assignment within the meaning of the 1940 Act and related U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance and interpretations. The Company pays the Adviser a fee for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components: a management fee and an incentive fee. The cost of both the management fee and the incentive fee is borne by the shareholders. The sub-advisory fees payable to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement
