**Item 8.01 Other Events**

***Net Asset Value***

The net asset value ("NAV") per share of each class of the Fund as of March 31, 2026, as determined in accordance with the Fund's valuation policy, is set forth below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **NAV as of March 31, 2026** |
| Class I Common Shares | $24.95 |
| Class S Common Shares | $24.93 |
| Class D Common Shares | $24.95 |

---

As of March 31, 2026, the Fund's aggregate NAV was $1.3 billion, the fair value of its investment portfolio was $2.5 billion and it had principal debt outstanding of $1.2 billion, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of approximately 0.87 times.

***Additional Commentary***

***Market Update***

Tensions in the Middle East pushed the price of Brent crude oil to as high as $120, reignited inflation concerns and pushed out expectations for near term policy easing.<sup>1</sup> Intermediate and long-dated Treasuries rose roughly 30 to 50 bps from late February to quarter-end, a 30 bps move in the 10-year in a single month without a Fed policy change during a geopolitical shock.<sup>1</sup> Major indices declined concurrently, and overall leveraged loan activity fell approximately 32% year over year, the slowest start since 2020.<sup>2</sup>

Software valuations reset<sup>3</sup>, accelerating in February and putting private markets in focus given the sector's prominence in sponsor-backed buyouts. Together with the late quarter energy shock, the software reset tightened financial conditions, reduced new activity and shifted terms toward lenders.

***Performance Update***

Since inception, and through multiple periods of market volatility, the Fund has continued to deliver current income and long-term capital appreciation to its shareholders. The Fund has earned net investment income of $7.64 per share, resulting in $7.69 in distributions paid from March of 2023 through March of 2026.

In the first quarter of 2026, the Fund earned net investment income of $0.57 per share and distributed ($0.57) per share. The Fund's monthly valuation process incorporated changes in asset performance and market conditions in the Fund's NAV, resulting in a net realized and unrealized loss of ($0.12) in the quarter. The other unrealized value was ($0.03) per share, representing a non-cash valuation change on an interest rate swap associated with the Fund's unsecured fixed-rate debt. The swap is a hedge that better aligns

------

the Fund's liabilities with the Fund's predominantly floating-rate assets. It is prudent risk management, not trading. The mark will move with rates but is expected to trend toward zero over the life of the contract.

This resulted in a quarter-to-date total net return of 1.71% (Class I)<sup>4</sup>, and the Fund ending March with the direct lending portfolio carrying a weighted-average mark of 98.7<sup>5</sup>.The Fund outperformed leverage loans by 226 bps<sup>6</sup> and high yield bonds by 226 bps<sup>7</sup>, supported by the Fund's modest software exposure, conservative structures and steady income.

The Fund remains focused on delivering results over a full cycle, rather than optimizing for any single quarter.

***Status of Offering***

The Fund is currently publicly offering on a continuous basis up to $4.0 billion in Shares (the "Offering"). The following table lists the Shares and total consideration for the Offering and the Private Offering as of the date of this filing (through the April 1, 2026 subscription date). The Fund intends to continue selling Shares in the Offering and the Private Offering on a monthly basis.

4. Total Net Return is calculated as the change in NAV per share during the period, plus distributions per share (assuming dividends and distributions are reinvested) divided by the beginning NAV per share. The return shown is derived from unaudited financial information and are net of all Fund expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction related expenses, management fees, incentive fees, and share class specific fees, but exclude the impact of early repurchase deductions on the repurchase of shares that have been outstanding for less than one year. Past performance does not predict future returns. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in the Fund's portfolio, which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for the Fund's NAV.

5. A third-party valuation agent performs monthly valuation on all direct loan investments based upon unaudited reports from the underlying investments that may be subject to later adjustments, may not correspond to realized value and may not accurately reflect the price at which assets could be liquidated, and the differences could be material.
