Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 27, 2026, HPS Corporate Lending Fund (the "Fund") entered into a Commitment Increase Agreement (the "Commitment Increase Agreement") among the Fund, Truist Bank, as the assuming lender (the "Assuming Lender"), and U.S. Bank National Association, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Royal Bank of Canada and BNP Paribas, as the increasing lenders (together, the "Increasing Lenders"), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and as issuing bank, and the issuing banks party thereto, pursuant to the Fund's Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2022, among the Fund, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and as collateral agent (as amended and supplemented, the "Revolving Credit Facility").

The Commitment Increase Agreement provides for the Assuming Lender's multicurrency commitment and for an increase in each Increasing Lender's commitment, thereby bringing aggregate commitments of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility from $2,250,000,000 to $2,650,000,000 through the accordion feature in the Revolving Credit Facility.

Subject to the preceding sentence, on and as of the Increase Date, the Assuming Lender shall be deemed to be a party to the Credit Agreement and be a Lender and a Multicurrency Lender for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Assuming Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender and a Multicurrency Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. <u>Confirmation of Assuming Lender</u>.
