Dear Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") of Goldman Sachs Private Credit Corp. (the "Company") to be held on July 28, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). The Meeting will be conducted as a virtual meeting hosted by means of a live webcast. Stockholders will be able to listen, vote, and submit questions from their home or any location with internet connectivity.

You or your proxyholders will be able to attend the Meeting online, vote and submit questions by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GSPVC2025 and using a control number assigned by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. To register and receive access to the virtual meeting, you will need to follow the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials you received.

The following pages include a formal notice of the Meeting and our proxy statement. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials you received and our proxy statement describe the matters on the agenda for the Meeting. Please read these materials carefully so that you will know what we intend to act on at the Meeting.

**The Meeting is being held (i) to elect three Class II directors of the Company, who will serve until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, and (ii) to ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.** 

**WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING, YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT.** If you do not plan to be present at the virtual Meeting, you can vote by following the instructions in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to vote via the internet or telephone, or request, sign, date, and return a proxy card so that you may be represented at the Meeting. If you have any questions regarding the proxy materials, please contact the Company at (312) 655-4419. Your prompt response will help reduce proxy costs—which are paid by the Company and indirectly by its stockholders—and will also mean that you can avoid receiving follow-up phone calls and mailings.

We are furnishing the accompanying proxy statement and proxy card to our stockholders on the internet, rather than mailing printed copies of these materials to each stockholder. Since you received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, you will not receive printed copies of the proxy statement and proxy card unless you request them by following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will instruct you as to how you may assess and review the proxy statement and vote your proxy.

For additional information on how you can attend and participate in the virtual Meeting, please see the instructions in your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. Because the Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting, there will be no physical location for Stockholders to attend.

**PROXY STATEMENT** 

June 2, 2025

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Goldman Sachs Private Credit Corp. (the "Company," "we," "our" and "us") for use at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting"), to be held virtually on July 28, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), and any postponement or adjournment thereof. Much of the information in this Proxy Statement is required under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and some of it is technical in nature. If there is anything you do not understand, please contact the Company at (312) 655-4419. Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on May 29, 2025 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the virtual Meeting.

In accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, we have elected to provide our stockholders (the "Stockholders") access to our proxy materials on the internet, including the proxy statement and the form of proxy (collectively, the "Proxy Statement") and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") was distributed on or about June 3, 2025 to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date. Stockholders are able to (1) access the proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice or (2) request that a printed set of the proxy materials be sent, at no cost to them, by following the instructions in the Notice. You will need the 16-digit control number that is included with the Notice to authorize your proxy for your shares through the internet. If you have not received a copy of the Notice, please contact the Company by phone at (312) 655-4419. If you have not received a copy of the Notice and your shares are held through a financial intermediary, such as a bank or broker, please contact your financial intermediary.

**PURPOSE OF THE MEETING** 

At the Meeting, you will be asked to vote on the following proposals:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. To elect three Class II directors of the Company, who will serve until the 2028 annual meeting of
stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified ("Proposal 1"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. To ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 ("Proposal 2").

**INFORMATION REGARDING ATTENDING THE MEETING** 

The Meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted exclusively via live webcast starting at 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). You will be able to attend the Meeting online, submit your questions during the Meeting and vote your shares electronically at the meeting by going to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/GSPVC2025 and entering your control number, which is included on the Notice that you received. Because the Meeting is completely virtual and being conducted via live webcast, Stockholders will not be able to attend the Meeting in person.

------

If your shares are held in "street name" through a bank, broker or other nominee, in order to vote during the live webcast of the Annual Meeting you must first obtain a "legal proxy" from your bank, broker or other nominee and register with Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") in order for you to participate in the live webcast of the Annual Meeting. You then may vote by following the instructions provided to you.

We are pleased to offer our Stockholders a completely virtual Meeting, which provides worldwide access and communication, while protecting the health and safety of our Stockholders, directors, management and other stakeholders. We are committed to ensuring that Stockholders will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting. We will try to answer as many Stockholder-submitted questions as time permits that comply with the Meeting rules of conduct. However, we reserve the right to edit profanity or other inappropriate language, or to exclude questions that are not pertinent to meeting matters or that are otherwise inappropriate. If substantially similar questions are received, we will group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition.

**INFORMATION REGARDING THIS SOLICITATION** 

It is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail. The Company's officers, and personnel of the Company's investment adviser, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. ("GSAM" or the "Investment Adviser"), and the Company's transfer agent and any authorized proxy solicitation agent, may also solicit proxies by telephone, email, facsimile or internet. If the Company records votes through the internet or by telephone, it will use procedures designed to authenticate Stockholders' identities to allow Stockholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions and to confirm that their identities have been properly recorded.

The Company will pay the expenses associated with this Proxy Statement and solicitation, in a manner agreed upon by the Board. The Company has engaged Broadridge, an independent proxy solicitation firm, to assist in the distribution of the proxy materials and tabulation of proxies. The costs of such services with respect to the Company are estimated to be approximately $146,197, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

To vote by internet or telephone, please use the control number on your Notice and follow the instructions as described on your Notice. If you would like to vote by mail, please follow the instructions provided on the Notice to request, sign, date and return promptly a proxy card. If you have any questions regarding the proxy materials, please contact the Company at (312) 655-4419. **If your proxy has been received prior to the Meeting and has not been revoked, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained in your proxy. If no instructions are marked, the shares of the Company's common stock represented by the proxy will be voted "FOR" each of the Proposals described in this Proxy Statement. In either case, shares will be voted in the discretion of the persons named as proxies in connection with any other matter that may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.**

Any person giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised (1) by notifying the Secretary of the Company in writing at the Company's principal executive offices, (2) by submitting a properly executed, later-dated proxy, a later-dated electronic vote via the website stated on the Notice, or a later-dated vote using the toll-free telephone number stated on the Notice or (3) by attending the virtual Meeting and voting during the webcast.

If (i) you are a member of a household in which multiple Stockholders share the same address, (ii) your shares are held in "street name" and (iii) your broker or bank has received consent to household material, then your broker or bank may send to your household only one copy of this Proxy Statement, unless your broker or bank previously received contrary instructions from a Stockholder in your household. If you are part of a household that has received only one copy of the Notice, the Company will deliver promptly a separate copy of

------

the Notice or, if applicable, our Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K to you upon written or oral request. To receive a separate copy of these documents, please contact the Company by calling (312) 655-4419 or by mail to the Company's principal executive offices at Goldman Sachs Private Credit Corp., 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282. If your shares are held with certain banks, trust companies, brokers, dealers, investment advisers and other financial intermediaries (each, an "Authorized Institution") and you would like to receive a separate copy of future proxy statements, notices of internet availability of proxy materials, prospectuses or annual reports or you are now receiving multiple copies of these documents and would like to receive a single copy in the future, please contact your Authorized Institution.

**IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD ON JULY 28, 2025** 

This Proxy Statement is available online at www.proxyvote.com (please have the control number found on your Notice ready when you visit this website).

**PROPOSAL 1** 

**ELECTION OF DIRECTORS** 

The Board is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of 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 Stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election. At the Meeting, you will be asked to elect three Class II directors to serve until the 2028 annual meeting of Stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, removal or disqualification. In addition, the Board has adopted policies 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 75th 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.

Information concerning the nominees and other relevant factors is provided below. A Stockholder may vote his or her shares for or against, or abstain from voting with respect to, the election of each nominee by properly voting by proxy over the internet or by telephone following the instructions in the Notice or by requesting, signing, dating and returning a proxy card as soon as possible. Unless contrary instructions are specified, if a proxy is executed and received prior to the Meeting (and has not been revoked) but no instructions are marked, the proxies will vote "FOR" the nominees.

Each of Ms. Kaysie Uniacke, Mr. Jaime Ardila and Mr. Richard A. Mark has consented to his or her nomination and has agreed to continue to serve if elected. If, at the time of the Meeting, for any reason, Ms. Uniacke, Mr. Ardila or Mr. Mark is not available for election or is not able to serve as a director, the persons named as proxies intend to exercise their voting power in favor of such person as is nominated by the Board as a substitute.

**ON MAY 7, 2025, THE BOARD, INCLUDING EACH OF THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" EACH NOMINEE LISTED ABOVE.** 

**Information about the Nominees and Directors** 

Set forth below are the names of the nominees for the Class II directors, as well as each of the continuing directors, and their addresses, ages, terms of office, principal occupations for at least the past five years and any other directorships they hold in companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act or are registered as investment companies under the 1940 Act. Directors who (1) are not deemed to be "interested persons," as defined in the 1940 Act, of the Company, (2) meet the definition of "independent directors" under the corporate governance standards of the NYSE and (3) meet the independence requirements of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act are referred to as "Independent Directors." Ms. Uniacke is deemed to be an "interested person" of the Company and is referred to as the "Interested Director."

Ms. Uniacke, Mr. Ardila and Mr. Mark have each been nominated for election as a Class II director to serve until the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders. None of the nominees are being proposed for election pursuant to any agreement or understanding between any such nominees and the Company.

Based on each nominee's experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills, considered individually and with respect to the experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills of the other directors, the Board has concluded that each nominee should continue to serve as a director.

In addition, the Chair of the Board earned an additional annual fee of $25,000 (or $12,500 upon the Company's NAV being less than $1,500,000,000), and the director designated as the "audit committee financial expert," as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, earned an additional annual fee of $15,000 (or $7,500 upon the Company's NAV being less than $1,500,000,000) for his or her additional services in such capacities. The Independent Directors are also reimbursed for travel and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and committee meetings. No compensation is paid by the Company to any directors who are "interested persons," as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act.

In addition, the Company purchases liability insurance on behalf of the directors. The Company may also pay the incidental costs of a director to attend training or other types of conferences relating to the business development company ("BDC") industry.

It is the responsibility of the Independent Directors to review their own compensation and 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 compensation paid to directors of other BDCs of similar size and the time and effort required of the directors in fulfilling their responsibilities to the Company.

**Board Composition and Leadership Structure** 

The Company's business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. The Board consists of seven directors, six of whom are Independent Directors. The Board elects the Company's officers, who serve at the discretion of the Board. The responsibilities of the Board include oversight of valuation of the Company's assets, corporate governance activities, oversight of the Company's financing arrangements and oversight of its investment activities.

The Board's role in the management of the Company is one of oversight. Oversight of the Company's investment activities extends to oversight of the risk management processes employed by GSAM as part of its day-to-day management of the Company's 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 the Company's 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 the Company's investments. The Board also oversees the valuation of the Company's assets.

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

Timothy J. Leach, an Independent Director, serves as Chairperson of the Board. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Stockholders for Mr. Leach to lead the Board because of his familiarity with the Company's portfolio companies, his broad corporate background and experience with financial and investment matters and his significant senior management experience, as described above. Mr. Leach will generally act 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 the opportunity for direct communication and interaction between management and the Board.

The Board had four formal meetings in 2024. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and of the respective committees on which he or she served during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. To promote effectiveness of the Board, under normal circumstances directors are strongly encouraged to attend regularly scheduled Board meetings in person.

**Committees of the Board** 

***Audit Committee***

The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Ardila, Mr. Evans, Mr. Kari, Mr. Leach, Mr. Mark and Ms. McGee, each of whom is an Independent Director. Mr. Ardila simultaneously serves on the audit committees of more than three public companies, and the Board has determined that his simultaneous service on the audit committees of other public companies does not impair his ability to effectively serve on the Audit Committee. Mr. Mark serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Board and the Audit Committee have determined that Mr. Mark is an "audit committee financial expert," as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing matters relating to the appointment and activities of the Company's auditors, audit plans and procedures, various accounting and financial reporting issues and changes in accounting policies, and reviewing the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by the

------

independent public accountants. The Audit Committee is also responsible for aiding the Board in its oversight of the Investment Adviser's fair value determinations and processes of the Company's portfolio investments. The Audit Committee's charter was attached as <u>Appendix A</u> to the Company's Proxy Statement for its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed on April 3, 2024.

The Audit Committee held four formal meetings in 2024.

***Governance and Nominating Committee***

The members of the Governance and Nominating Committee are Mr. Ardila, Mr. Evans, Mr. Kari, Mr. Leach, Mr. Mark and Ms. McGee, each of whom is an Independent Director. Mr. Leach serves as the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying, researching and nominating Independent Directors for election, selecting nominees to fill vacancies on the Board or a committee of the Board, determining, or recommending to the Board for determination, the compensation of the Independent Director, 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 the business of the Company; (7) length of potential service; (8) commitment to the representation of the interests of the Company and the Stockholders; (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. The Company's amended and restated bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that for any nomination to be properly brought by a Stockholder for a meeting, such Stockholder must comply with advance notice requirements and provide the Company with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a Stockholder's notice must be received at the Company's 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. The Company's 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 was attached as <u>Appendix B</u> to the Company's Proxy Statement for its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed on April 3, 2024.

The Governance and Nominating Committee held three formal meetings in 2024.

***Compliance Committee***

The members of the Compliance Committee are Mr. Ardila, Mr. Evans, Mr. Kari, Mr. Leach, Mr. Mark and Ms. McGee, each of whom is an Independent Director. Mr. Leach serves as Chair of the Compliance Committee. The Compliance Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company's compliance processes, and insofar as they relate to services provided to us, the compliance processes of the investment adviser, underwriters (if any), administrator and transfer agent, distribution paying agent and registrar ("Transfer Agent"), except that

------

compliance processes relating to the accounting and financial reporting processes and certain related matters are overseen by the Audit Committee. In addition, the Compliance Committee provides assistance to the full Board with respect to compliance matters.

The Compliance Committee held four formal meetings in 2024.

***Contract Review Committee***

The members of the Contract Review Committee are Mr. Ardila, Mr. Evans, Mr. Kari, Mr. Leach, Mr. Mark and Ms. McGee, each of whom is an Independent Director. Mr. Leach serves as Chair of the Contract Review Committee. The Contract Review Committee is responsible for overseeing the processes of the Board for reviewing and monitoring performance under the Company's investment management, placement agency, transfer agency and certain other agreements with GSAM and its affiliates. The Contract Review Committee also provides appropriate assistance to the Board in connection with the Board's approval, oversight and review of the Company's other service providers, including the Company's custodian/accounting agent, Transfer Agent, printing firms, and professional firms (other than the Company's independent auditor, which is the responsibility of the Audit Committee).

The Contract Review Committee held one formal meeting in 2024.

**Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions** 

***Investment Management Agreement***

The Company is party to an investment management agreement, pursuant to which the Company pays GSAM, a wholly owned subsidiary of GS Group Inc., a fee for investment management services consisting of a

------

management fee based on the Company's net assets and an incentive fee based on the performance of the Company's investments. Certain of the Company's officers are also officers and employees of GSAM.

The management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.25% of the value of the Company's net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month, and the incentive fee is calculated based on (a) the amount by which our ordinary income exceeds certain "hurdle rates," and (b) our capital gains.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid GSAM a total of approximately $51.75 million in fees (excluding fees that are accrued but not paid and net of fee waivers by GSAM) pursuant to the investment management agreement, which consisted of $27.46 million in management fees and $24.29 million in incentive fees.

***License Agreement***

The Company is party to a license agreement with an affiliate of Goldman Sachs pursuant to which the Company has been granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the "Goldman Sachs" name. Under this agreement, the Company does not have a right to use the Goldman Sachs name if GSAM or another affiliate of Goldman Sachs is not the Company's investment adviser or if the Company's 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, the Company has no legal right to the "Goldman Sachs" name.

***Co-Investment Opportunities***

In certain circumstances, we and other client accounts managed by our Investment Adviser, which may include proprietary accounts of Goldman Sachs (collectively, the "Accounts") can make negotiated co-investments pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC permitting us to do so (the "Relief"). On May 21, 2025, the SEC granted the Relief to the Investment Adviser, the BDCs advised by the Investment Adviser and certain other affiliated applicants, which superseded the prior co-investment exemptive relief received on November 16, 2022, as amended on June 25, 2024 (the "Prior Relief"). The Relief contains certain conditions and requires the majority of our independent directors to make certain conclusions in connection with certain co-investment transactions, including co-investment transactions in which an affiliate of ours is an existing investor in the portfolio company, non-pro rata follow on investments and non-pro rata dispositions of investments, and requires the Board to maintain oversight of our participation in the co-investment program. If our Investment Adviser forms other funds in the future, we may co-invest alongside such other affiliates, subject to compliance with the Relief, applicable regulations and regulatory guidance, as well as applicable allocation procedures. As a result of the Relief, there could be significant overlap in our investment portfolio and the investment portfolios of other Accounts.

***Transfer Agent Agreement***

The Company has entered into a transfer agency agreement (the "Transfer Agency Agreement") with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC ("GS & Co.") pursuant to which GS & Co. serves as the Company's transfer agent ("Transfer Agent"), registrar and distribution paying agent. The Company pays the Transfer Agent at an annual rate of 0.05% of the Company's average NAV at the end of the then-current quarter and the prior calendar quarter (and, in the case of the Company's first quarter, its NAV as of such quarter-end) for serving as the Company's transfer agent.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred expenses for services provided by the Transfer Agent under the Transfer Agency Agreement of approximately $1.57 million. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $553,000 remained payable.

------

***Placement Agent Agreement***

The Company has entered into an agreement with GS & Co. (the "Placement Agent") pursuant to which GS & Co. assists the Company in conducting the continuous private offering of the Company's shares (the "Offering"). GS & Co. has entered into or will enter into sub-placement agreements (together with the agreements with GS & Co., the "Placement Agent Agreements") with various sub-placement agents to assist in conducting the Offering. Stockholder servicing and/or distribution fees will be payable to the Placement Agent. The Placement Agent may also be compensated by GSAM, in its discretion, for certain services including promotional and marketing support, shareholder servicing, operational and recordkeeping, sub-accounting, networking or administrative services. These payments are made out of GSAM's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees GSAM receives from the Company.

**Related Party Transaction Review Policy** 

The Audit Committee will review any potential related party transactions brought to its attention, and, during these reviews, will consider any conflicts of interest brought to its attention pursuant to the Company's Code of Ethics. Each of the Company's 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.

------

**PROPOSAL 2** 

**RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM** 

At a meeting held on February 26, 2025, the Audit Committee selected and recommended, and at a meeting held on February 26, 2025, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors approved, the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to act as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. This selection is presented for ratification by the Stockholders. If the Stockholders fail to ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025, the Audit Committee and the Board will reconsider the continued retention of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be available telephonically during the Meeting and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from Stockholders if necessary. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be given the opportunity to make statements at the Meeting, if they so desire.

***Audit Fees***

The aggregate audit fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $637,800 and $454,200, respectively.

Fees included in the audit fees category are those associated with the annual audits of financial statements, review of the financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.

***Audit-Related Fees***

No audit-related fees were billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Audit-related fees are for any services rendered to the Company that are reasonably related to the performance of the audits or reviews of the Company's 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 the Company, for engagements directly related to the Company's operations and financial reporting, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $1,578,918 and $1,555,770, respectively. These amounts represent fees PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed to GSAM for services related to the SSAE 18 report and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC for services related to the 17Ad-13 report.

***Tax Fees***

No fees were billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for services rendered to the Company for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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 the Company's tax returns.

------

No tax fees were billed by the Company's independent registered public accountant to GSAM, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, GSAM, that provides ongoing services to the Company, for engagements directly related to the Company's operations and financial reporting, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

***All Other Fees***

No fees were billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the Company for products and services provided to the Company, other than the services reported in "Audit Fees" above, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Other than services reported under "Audit-Related Fees," no other fees were billed by the Company's independent registered public accountant to GSAM, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, GSAM, that provides ongoing services to the Company, for engagements directly related to the Company's operations and financial reporting, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

***Aggregate Non-Audit Fees***

The aggregate non-audit fees billed to GSAM and its affiliates by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for non-audit services for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $20.7 million and $18.0 million, respectively. 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 the Company's 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 for the Company 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. All of the audit and permitted non-audit services described above for which PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

*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 the Company 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 the Company, the Audit Committee will pre-approve those non-audit services provided to the Company's investment adviser (and entities controlling, controlled by or

------

under common control with the investment adviser that provide ongoing services to the Company) where the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Company.

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 Audit Committee 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. Except as described above, 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 the Company 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 and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with GSAM that provides ongoing services to the Company that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee because the engagement did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Company is compatible with maintaining PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's independence.

**ON MAY 7, 2025, THE BOARD, INCLUDING EACH OF THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM TO THE COMPANY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025.**

***Audit Committee Report<sup>(1)</sup>***

The following is the report of the Audit Committee of Goldman Sachs Private Credit Corp., Inc. (the "Company") with respect to the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Audited Financial Statements").

The Audit Committee has: (a) reviewed and discussed the Audited Financial Statements with the management of the Company; (b) discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard 1301 (Communications with Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"); and (c) received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditor required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526 regarding the independent auditor's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent auditor the auditor's independence.

The members of the Audit Committee are not, and do not represent themselves to be, professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not employed by the Company for accounting, financial management or internal control purposes. Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on and makes no independent verification of the facts presented to it or representations made by management or the Company's independent auditor. Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and/or financial reporting principles and policies, or internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee's considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that the audit of the Company's financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Based on its consideration of the Audited Financial Statements and the discussions referred to above with management and the Company's independent auditor, and subject to the limitations on the responsibilities and role of the Audit Committee set forth in the charter and those discussed above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Audited Financial Statements be accepted by the Board of Directors and included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year for filing with the SEC.

SEC and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any
general incorporation language in any such filing.

------

**OTHER BUSINESS** 

The management of the Company does not know of any other matters to be brought before the Meeting. If such matters are properly brought before the Meeting, proxies that do not contain specific instructions to the contrary will be voted in accordance with the judgment of Caroline Kraus and Curtis Tate, who are the persons named as proxies.

**VOTE REQUIRED FOR THE ELECTION OF THE DIRECTOR AND** 

**APPROVAL OF OTHER MATTERS AT THE MEETING** 

A quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting is established by the presence, virtually or by proxy, of holders representing one-third of the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting. Stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and at any postponements or adjournments thereof. There were 274,884,463.57 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on the Record Date. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Cumulative voting is not permitted.

**Election of Directors** 

For Proposal 1, the election of each nominee requires a majority of the votes cast by all Stockholders present, virtually or by proxy, at the Meeting, provided that if, as of the tenth (10th) day preceding the date the Company first mails the notice of such meeting to the Stockholders, the number of nominees for the directorships (or, if applicable, the directorships of a particular class of directors) exceeds the number of such directors to be elected, such directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast. Under the Company's Bylaws, a majority of votes cast means that the number of votes cast "for" a director's election exceeds the number of votes cast "against" that director's election (with "abstentions" and "broker non-votes" not counted as a vote cast either "for" or "against" that director's election).

**Ratification of Auditor** 

Approval of Proposal 2, the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, requires a majority of the votes by all Stockholders present, virtually or by proxy, at the Meeting.

**Broker Non-Votes** 

Broker "non-votes" are shares held in an account with an Authorized Institution for which the broker indicates that instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote, and the broker does not have discretionary voting authority with respect to a non-routine proposal. As broker non-votes are entitled to vote on Proposal 2, broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for purposes of transacting business at the Meeting.

Proposal 1 is a non-routine matter. As a result, if you hold shares in "street name" through a broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or nominee will **not** be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to Proposal 1, the election of one Class III director and three Class I directors. Therefore, if you do not vote and you do not give your broker or other nominee specific instructions on how to vote for you, then your shares will have no effect on Proposal 1.

Proposal 2, the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, is a routine matter. As a result, if you beneficially own your shares and you do not provide your broker or nominee with voting instructions, then your broker, bank or nominee will be able to vote your shares for you on Proposal 2.

------

**Abstentions** 

Abstentions will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but will not be voted for or against the Proposal for which the proxy card has been marked "Abstain". Accordingly, abstentions will have no effect on Proposal 1, and the effect of a vote against Proposal 2.

**Adjournment** 

If less than a quorum is present at the Meeting or if an insufficient number of votes is present for the approval of the Proposals, the chairman of the Meeting shall have the power to adjourn the Meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the Meeting.

A vote may be taken on either Proposal prior to any such adjournment if there are sufficient votes for approval of such Proposal.

**COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD** 

All interested parties, including Stockholders, may send communications to the Board, the Independent Directors, the Chairman or any other individual director, by addressing such communication to the Board, the Independent Directors, the Chairman or to the individual director, c/o Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P., 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282.
