#### Item 8.01. Other Events
On July 10, 2025, HPS Corporate Lending Fund (the "Fund"), through HLEND CLO 2025-4, LLC (the "Issuer"), a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Fund, priced its $1.25 billion term debt securitization (the "CLO Transaction"). The CLO Transaction is expected to close on or about August 12, 2025 (the "Closing Date"). The Secured Notes (as defined below) to be issued by the Issuer in the CLO Transaction will be secured by a portfolio of collateral obligations consisting primarily of middle market loans and participation interests therein.

The CLO Transaction is expected to be executed through (i) a private placement of Class A Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes and Class B Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes (collectively, the "Secured Notes") and (ii) a purchase by the Depositor (as defined below) of the subordinated notes issued by the Issuer (the "Subordinated Notes" and, together with the Secured Notes, the "HLEND 2025-4 Debt"), the terms of which are summarized in the table below:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Class | Par Size ($) | Expected Ratings (S&P)\* | Expected Ratings (Fitch)\*\* | Coupon |
|  Class A Notes | 681250000 | AAA(sf) | AAA(sf) | SOFR + 1.54% |
|  Class B Notes | 168750000 | AA(sf) | N/A | SOFR + 1.85% |
|  Subordinated Notes | 400000000 | N/A | N/A | N/A |

---

\* Initial ratings expected to be issued by S&P Global Ratings on the Closing Date.

\*\* Initial ratings expected to be issued by Fitch Ratings Inc on the Closing Date.

The Fund, through HLEND CLO 2025-4 Investments, LLC (the "Depositor"), a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Fund, is expected to acquire 100% of the Subordinated Notes on the Closing Date and will be required to retain the Subordinated Notes in accordance with the U.S. Risk Retention Rules and the EU/UK Risk Retention Requirements on and after the Closing Date. The Subordinated Notes will not bear interest. The Fund expects that the HLEND 2025-4 Debt will mature on August 15, 2037, unless otherwise redeemed or prepaid, as applicable, earlier in accordance with the terms of the indenture to be executed on the Closing Date (the "Indenture"), governing the HLEND 2025-4 Debt. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to such terms in the Indenture.

The Secured Notes will be the secured obligations of the Issuer, and the Indenture will include customary covenants and events of default. The HLEND 2025-4 Debt has not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities or "blue sky" laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or an applicable exemption from registration. This report is not a solicitation for or an offer to purchase the HLEND 2025-4 Debt.
