Refers to BCRED’s portfolio and not the terms of the offering. Institutional quality refers to the types of investments that have the characteristics, such as size and attributes, to merit attention from institutional investors. Individual investors should be aware that institutional investors generally make investments on different terms from individual investors.
Annualized Distribution Rate reflects May’s distribution annualized and divided by last reported NAV from April. Past performance does not predict future returns. Distributions have been and may in the future be funded through sources other than net investment income. See BCRED’s prospectus. Please visit the Shareholders page on BCRED’s website for notices regarding distributions subject to Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and if we do we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital, or offering proceeds, and although we generally expect to fund distributions from cash flow from operations, we have not established limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources. As of April 30, 2026, 100% of inception to date distributions were funded from net investment income or realized short-term capital gains, rather than a return of capital. A return of capital (1) is a return of the original amount invested, (2) does not constitute earnings or profits and (3) will have the effect of reducing the basis such that when a shareholder sells its shares the sale may be subject to taxes even if the shares are sold for less than the original purchase price. Distributions may also be funded in significant part, directly or indirectly, from temporary waivers or expense reimbursements borne by the Adviser or its affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the Adviser or its affiliates. The repayment of any amounts owed to our affiliates will reduce future distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled.
Inception date for Class I and Class S shares: January 7, 2021. Inception date for Class D shares: May 1, 2021. 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. Returns greater than one year are annualized. All returns are derived from unaudited financial information and are net of all BCRED 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. Growth of $100k calculation is based on the Total Net Return which is calculated based on the change in NAV per share during the period, plus distributions per share (assuming dividends and distributions are reinvested). Past performance does not predict future returns. Class S and Class D listed as (With Upfront Placement Fee) reflect the returns after the maximum upfront placement fees. Class S and Class D listed as (No Upfront Placement Fee) exclude upfront placement fees. Class I does not have upfront placement fees. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in BCRED’s portfolios which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for BCRED’s NAV. Valuations based on unaudited reports from the underlying investments 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.
Measured at fair market value.

At the time of underwrite for each investment in BCRED’s debt portfolio. Average loan-to-value represents the net ratio of loan-to-value for each portfolio company, weighted based on the fair value of total applicable debt investments. Includes all debt investments for which fair value is determined by the Board of Trustees in conjunction with a third-party valuation firm and excludes quoted investments and asset-based investments. Loan-to-value at underwrite is calculated as the net debt through each respective loan tranche divided by the estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company at the time of underwrite.
BCRED selected these portfolio companies to present an objective, non-performance based standard of showing BCRED’s two largest privately negotiated positions in each of top three largest industries (in each case to the extent BCRED is authorized to disclose such privately negotiated positions), calculated by fair value as of April 30, 2026. The top three industries as of April 30, 2026 are Software, Professional Services, and Commercial Services & Supplies.
As of March 31, 2026. Average last-twelve-month (“LTM”) EBITDA includes all debt investments for which fair value is determined by BCRED’s Board in conjunction with a third-party valuation firm and excludes both asset-based investments and quoted investments. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a particular portfolio company, LTM EBITDA is generally defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization over the preceding twelve-month period. Amounts are weighted on fair market value of each respective investment. Amounts were derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements (which are generally one quarter in arrears), have not been independently verified by BCRED, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, BCRED makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information. As of March 31, 2026, the breakdown of BCRED’s portfolio company LTM EBITDA within the above defined debt portfolio is as follows: 5% less than $50 million, 21% between $50 to $100 million and 74% greater than $100 million based on fair market value. As of March 31, 2026, LTM EBITDA margin for these debt investments is 30%. EBITDA margin is the ratio of EBITDA-to-revenue.
As of March 31, 2026. Based on Blackstone analysis of company earnings presentations and calls or latest publicly available data.
Past performance does not predict future returns. Actual results may vary. Diversification of an investor’s portfolio does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.

Analysis based on the average annualized US leveraged loan default rates by industry from 2007 to December 2025, as published by Fitch. “Lower-default rate sectors” are defined as those which have an average annual default rate below 2%. GICS industry classifications utilized in BCRED reporting are remapped by BXCI to Fitch industry classifications for comparison purposes.
Measured as the fair market value of investments for each category against the total fair market value of all investments. Totals may not sum due to rounding.

Private credit market exhibited average LTM EBITDA of $101 million, based on issuer companies of loans in the Lincoln International Private Market Database as of December 31, 2025, which is latest available data. The “Lincoln International Private Market Database,” compiled by the Lincoln Valuations & Opinions Group (“VOG”), is a quarterly compilation of over 4,750 portfolio companies from a wide assortment of private equity investors and non-bank lenders. Most of these companies are highly levered with debt financing provided via the direct lending market and in many instances, Lincoln estimates the fair value of at least one senior debt security in the portfolio companies’ capital structures. In assessing the data, VOG relies on commonly accepted valuation methodologies and each valuation analysis is unique and conforms to fair value accounting principles. The analyses are then vetted by auditors, fund managers and their board of directors, as well as other regulators. © 2025 Lincoln Partners Advisors LLC. All rights reserved. Used with permission.

As of March 31, 2026.
Represents BXCI’s average annualized loss rate for its North America Direct Lending strategy from 2006 through March 31, 2026. The annualized loss rate represents annualized net losses for substantially realized investments. Whether an investment is substantially realized is determined in the manager’s discretion. Investments are included in the loss rate if (1) a payment was missed, (2) bankruptcy was declared, (3) there was a restructuring, or (4) it was realized with a total multiple on invested capital less than 1.0x. Net losses include all profits and losses associated with these investments, including interest payments received. Net losses are represented in the year the investment is substantially realized and excludes all losses associated with unrealized investments. The annualized net loss rate is the net losses divided by the average annual remaining invested capital within the platform. Investments sourced by BXCI for the Sub Advised Investments did, in certain cases, experience defaults and losses after BXCI was no longer sub-adviser, and such defaults and losses are not included in the rates provided. Prior to December 31, 2022, the methodology used by the North America Direct Lending track record for calculating the platform’s average annual loss rate was based on net loss of principal resulting only from payment defaults in the year of default which would exclude interest payments. Past performance does not predict future returns, and there can be no assurance that BXCI will achieve comparable results or that any entity or account managed by or advised by BXCI will be able to implement its investment strategy or achieve its investment objectives.
As of March 31, 2026. Represents the sum of (a) estimated identified annualized cost reduction opportunities (see Total Cost Reduction footnote for additional details) multiplied by the Lincoln Observed New Third-Party M&A Buyouts Transaction Multiple, averaged over past 5 years and (b) annualized revenue from introductions across Blackstone portfolio companies multiplied by EBITDA margin and multiple at the time of investment of the portfolio company. Estimates assume revenue enhancements and costs savings directly improve enterprise value or EBITDA margins and that such revenue gains or cost savings will endure for the period of time implied by multiples.

Morningstar Medalist Rating. Morningstar assigned BCRED a Bronze Medalist Rating on May 6, 2026. The Morningstar Medalist Rating is the summary expression of Morningstar’s forward looking analysis of investment strategies as offered via specific vehicles using a rating scale of Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral, and Negative. The Medalist Ratings indicate which investments Morningstar believes are likely to outperform their Morningstar Category average on a risk adjusted basis over time. Medalist Ratings are based on Morningstar’s evaluation of three fundamental pillars (People, Parent, and Process) and the Medalist Rating Price Score. The rating was created and tabulated by Morningstar, Inc., an independent third party, and is not based on the experience of any client or investor. When analysts directly cover a vehicle, they assign the fundamental pillar ratings based on their qualitative assessment, subject to the oversight of the Analyst Rating Committee, and monitor and reevaluate them approximately once a year. When vehicles are covered either indirectly by analysts or by algorithm, the ratings are assigned monthly.
