EXPLANATORY NOTE

Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the Company,
we, us, or our), is filing this Amendment No. 1 (Amendment No. 1) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017
(the Form 10-K), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on February 22, 2018 to provide the information required by Items 10 through 14 of
Part III. The Companys definitive proxy statement will not be filed within 120 days after December 31, 2017 and, accordingly, reference to the Companys proxy statement on the cover page has also been deleted.

In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the Company has also included as exhibits currently dated certifications
required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As such, this Amendment No. 1 also updates, amends and supplements Part IV, Item 15 of the Form 10-K to include the filing of new
Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).
We are amending and refiling Item 15.3 of Part IV solely to reflect the inclusion of those certifications. Because no financial statements are contained within this Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend any
disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Because no financial statements are contained within this Amendment No. 1, we
are not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

No other changes have
been made to the Form 10-K. This Amendment No. 1 does not modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Form 10-K. Among other things, forward-looking
statements made in the Form 10-K have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to us after filing of the Form 10-K, and such
forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. This Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and with our subsequent filings with the SEC.

PART III

ITEM 10.     DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors (the Board). The Board consists of five
directors, four of whom are Independent Directors. Independent Directors are directors who (1) are not deemed to be interested persons, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment
Company Act), of us, (2) meet the definition of independent directors under the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange and (3) meet the independence requirements of Section 10A(m)(3) of the
Exchange Act. The Board elects our officers, who serve at the discretion of the Board. The responsibilities of the Board include quarterly valuation of our assets, corporate governance activities, oversight of our financing arrangements and
oversight of our investment activities.

The Boards role in our management is one of oversight. Oversight of our investment
activities extends to oversight of the risk management processes employed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (GSAM), our investment adviser, as part of its
day-to-day management of our investment activities. The Board reviews risk management processes at both regular and special Board meetings throughout the year,
consulting with appropriate representatives of GSAM as necessary and periodically requesting the production of risk management reports or presentations. The goal of the Boards risk oversight function is to ensure that the risks associated with
our investment activities are accurately identified, thoroughly investigated and responsibly addressed. The Boards oversight function cannot, however, eliminate all risks or ensure that particular events do not adversely affect the value of
our investments. The Board also has primary responsibility for the valuation of our assets.

The Board has established an Audit Committee,
Governance and Nominating Committee, Compensation Committee, Compliance Committee and Contract Review Committee. The scope of each committees responsibilities is discussed in greater detail below.

Jaime Ardila, an Independent Director, serves as Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of our
stockholders for Mr. Ardila to lead the Board because of his familiarity with our portfolio companies, his broad corporate background and experience with financial and investment matters and his significant senior management experience, as
described below. Mr. Ardila generally acts as a liaison between management, officers and attorneys between meetings of the Board and presides over all executive sessions of the Independent Directors without management. The Board believes that
its leadership structure is appropriate because the structure allocates areas of responsibility among the individual directors and the committees in a manner that enhances effective oversight. The Board also believes that its size creates an
efficient corporate governance structure that provides opportunity for direct communication and interaction between management and the Board.

The Board had 10 formal meetings in 2017. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, each director attended at least 75% of the
aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the respective committees on which he or she served. To promote effectiveness of the Board, directors are strongly encouraged to attend regularly scheduled Board meetings in person.

Board of Directors and Executive Officers

The Board is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of our stockholders, the successors to the
class of directors whose term expires at such meeting will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of our stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. In addition, the Board has adopted
polices which provide that (a) no director shall hold office for more than 15 years and (b) a director shall retire as of December 31st of the calendar year in which he or she reaches his or her 74th birthday, unless a waiver of such
requirement has been adopted by a majority of the other directors. These policies may be changed by the directors without a stockholder vote.

Independent Director. Mr. Ardila serves as the Chairman of the Governance and Nominating Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying, researching and nominating Independent Directors for election by our
stockholders, selecting nominees to fill vacancies on the Board or a committee of the Board, developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the evaluation of the Board and management.

All candidates nominated for an Independent Director position must meet applicable independence requirements and have the capacity to address
financial and legal issues and exercise reasonable business judgment. The Governance and Nominating Committee considers a variety of criteria in evaluating candidates (including candidates nominated by a stockholder), including (1) experience
in business, financial or investment matters or in other fields of endeavor; (2) financial literacy and/or whether he or she is an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 407 of Regulation
S-K; (3) reputation; (4) ability to attend scheduled Board and committee meetings; (5) general availability to attend to Board business on short notice; (6) actual or potential business, family
or other conflicts bearing on either the candidates independence or our business; (7) length of potential service; (8) commitment to the representation of our interests and our stockholders interests; (9) commitment to
maintaining and improving his or her skills and education; (10) experience in corporate governance and best business practices; and (11) the diversity that he or she would bring to the Boards composition.

The Governance and Nominating Committee considers nominees properly recommended by a stockholder. Our bylaws provide that for any nomination
to be properly brought by a stockholder, such stockholder must comply with advance notice requirements and provide us with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholders notice must be received at our principal executive offices
not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws further provide that nominations of persons for election to the Board at a special meeting may
be made only by or at the direction of the

Board and, provided that the Board has determined that directors will be elected at the meeting, by a Stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance
notice provisions of the bylaws. The Governance and Nominating Committees charter is available on our website (https://www.goldmansachsbdc.com).

Pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, our directors and executive officers and any persons holding more than 10% of our common
stock are required to report their beneficial ownership and any changes therein to the SEC and us. Specific due dates for those reports have been established, and we are required to report any failure to file such reports by those due dates. Based
on our review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed by such persons and information provided by our directors and executive officers, we believe that, with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, all Section 16(a) filing requirements
applicable to such persons were met in a timely manner.

recommend to all of the directors the appropriate level of compensation. This level of compensation may be adjusted from time to time. In conducting their review, the Independent Directors use such information as they deem relevant, including

|ITEM 13.    CERTAIN | RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
|------------------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------

Investment Management Agreement

We
are party to an investment management agreement (the Investment Management Agreement), pursuant to which we pay GSAM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Group Inc., a fee for investment management services consisting of a management fee based
on our gross assets (excluding cash or cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) and an incentive fee based on the performance of our investments. Certain of our officers are also officers and employees of GSAM.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we paid GSAM a total of $28.66 million in fees (excluding fees that are accrued but not paid)
pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, which consisted of $17.59 million in management fees and $11.07 million in incentive fees.

License Agreement

We are party to
a license agreement with an affiliate of Goldman Sachs pursuant to which we have been granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Goldman Sachs name. Under this agreement, we do not
have a right to use the Goldman Sachs name if GSAM or another affiliate of Goldman Sachs is not our investment adviser or if our continued use of such license results in a violation of applicable law, results in a regulatory burden or has adverse
regulatory consequences. Other than with respect to this limited license, we have no legal right to the Goldman Sachs name.

Co-Investment Opportunities

We
may co-invest, on a concurrent basis with other funds managed by GSAM and its affiliates, but not if such co-investment is impermissible under
existing regulatory guidance, applicable regulations or GSAMs allocation procedures. Certain types of negotiated co-investments by us and other funds managed by GSAM and its affiliates may be
made only pursuant to an order from the SEC permitting us to do so. In January 2017, we received an exemptive order from the SEC that permits us to participate in negotiated co-investment transactions with
certain affiliates (including GS PMMC and GS MMLC), each of whose investment adviser is GSAM, in a manner consistent with our investment objectives, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions, as well as regulatory requirements and pursuant to
the conditions required by the exemptive relief.

Related Party Transaction Review Policy

The Audit Committee conducts quarterly reviews of any potential related party transactions brought to its attention and, during these reviews,
it also considers any conflicts of interest brought to its attention pursuant to our Companys Code of Ethics. Each of our directors and executive officers is instructed and periodically reminded to inform GSAM Compliance of any potential
related party transactions. In addition, each such director and executive officer completes a questionnaire on an annual basis designed to elicit information about any potential related party transactions.

Director Independence

For information
regarding the independence of our directors, see Item 10. Directors, Executive officers and Corporate Governance.

Audit-Related Fees

No audit-related fees were billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Audit-related fees are for any services rendered to us that are reasonably related to the performance of the audits or reviews of our
consolidated financial statements (but not reported as audit fees above). These services include attestation services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

The aggregate audit-related fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to GSAM, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with, GSAM, that provides ongoing services to us, for engagements directly related to our operations and financial reporting, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $1,133,433 and $1,157,616, respectively.

planning for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $12,500 and $12,500, respectively.

Fees included in
the tax fees category comprise all services performed by professional staff in the independent registered public accountants tax division except those services related to the audits. This category comprises fees for tax compliance services
provided in connection with the preparation and review of our tax returns.

No tax fees were billed by our independent registered public
accountant to GSAM, or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, GSAM, that provides ongoing services to us, for engagements directly related to our operations and financial reporting, for the years ended December 31,
2017 and December 31, 2016.

All Other Fees

No fees were billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for products and services provided to us, other than the services reported in Audit
Fees, Audit Related Fees, and Tax Fees above, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

No other fees were billed by our independent registered public accountant to GSAM, or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with, GSAM, that provides ongoing services to us, for engagements directly related to our operations and financial reporting, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Aggregate Non-Audit Fees

No non-audit fees were billed to GSAM and service affiliates by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for non-audit services for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. This includes any non-audit services required to be
pre-approved or non-audit services that did not require pre-approval since they did not directly relate to our operations or
financial reporting.

Pre-Approval of Audit and
Non-Audit Services Provided to the Company

The Audit and
Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the Policy) adopted by the Audit Committee sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services
performed by an independent auditor may be pre-approved. Services may be pre-approved specifically by the Audit Committee as a whole or, in certain circumstances, by the
Audit Committee Chairman or the person designated as the audit committee financial expert. In addition, subject to specified cost limitations, certain services may be pre-approved under the provisions of the
Policy. The Policy provides that the Audit Committee will consider whether the services provided by an independent auditor are consistent with the SECs rules on auditor independence. The Policy provides for periodic review and pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the services that may be provided by the independent auditor.

De Minimis Waiver. The pre-approval requirements of the Policy may be waived with respect to
the provision of non-audit services that are permissible for an independent auditor to perform, provided (1) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the
total amount of revenues subject to pre-approval that was paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by us at the
time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee
or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee, pursuant to the pre-approval provisions of the Policy.

Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to GSAM.
The Policy provides that, in addition to requiring pre-approval of audit and non-audit services provided to us, the Audit Committee will
pre-approve those non-audit services provided to GSAM (and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with GSAM that provide ongoing services to us)
where the engagement relates directly to our operations or our financial reporting.

The Audit Committee has considered these fees and the
nature of the services rendered, and has concluded that they are compatible with maintaining the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The AuditCommittee did not approve any of the audit-related, tax, or other non-audit fees described above pursuant to the de minimis exceptions set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and Rule
2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP did not provide any audit-related services, tax services or other
non-audit services to GSAM or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with GSAM that provides ongoing services to us that the Audit Committee was required to approve pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services rendered to GSAM or any
entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with GSAM that provides ongoing services to us that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee because the engagement did not relate directly to our
operations and our financial reporting is compatible with maintaining PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPs independence.
