As of September 30, 2026, unless otherwise noted. Reflects Blackstone Credit & Insurance’s views and beliefs as of the date appearing on this material only, which is subject to change. Past performance does not predict future returns and there can be no assurance that BCRED will achieve results comparable to those of any of Blackstone Credit & Insurance’s prior funds or be able to implement its strategy or achieve its investment objectives, including due to an inability to access sufficient investment opportunities.

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. For more detailed information about the Medalist Ratings, including their methodology, please visit: http://global.morningstar.com/managerdisclosures.
The Morningstar Medalist Ratings are not statements of fact, nor are they credit or risk ratings or recommendations to purchase, hold or sell any security. A change in the fundamental factors underlying the Morningstar Medalist Rating may result in the rating no longer being accurate. © 2026 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved.

Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Blackstone did not receive or provide compensation to be considered for the rating or for the receipt of the rating. No amounts were paid to the sponsor of the rating for Blackstone’s right to promote receipt of the rating. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
As of September 30, 2026. 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 net asset value (“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. Inception-to-date (“ITD”) total return for Class S (no/with upfront placement fee): 8.0%/7.3%. ITD total return for Class D (no/with upfront placement fee): 8.3%/8.0%. Quarter-to-date (“QTD”) total return for Class S (no/with upfront placement fee): 1.5%/–2.1%, Class D (no/with upfront placement fee): 1.6%/0.1%. All returns shown 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. Past performance does not predict future returns. Class S and Class D listed as (With Upfront Placement Fee or Brokerage Commissions) reflect the returns after the maximum upfront placement fees. Class S and Class D listed as (No Upfront Placement Fee or Brokerage Commissions) 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 portfolio, which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for BCRED’s NAV. Valuations based upon 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.
Annualized Distribution Rate for Class I reflects October’s distribution annualized and divided by last reported NAV from September. 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 September 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 Blackstone Credit BDC Advisors LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) or its affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates. The repayment of any amounts owed to our affiliates will reduce future distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled. Annualized Distribution Rate for other share classes for September are as follows: 8.3% for Class S and 8.9% for Class D.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026. BCRED’s weighted average all-in cost of debt is 5.7% and calculated based on annualized all-in cost of debt incurred in Q2’26 (including unused fees, amortization of debt issuance costs (including premiums and discounts), amortization of deferred financing costs, and the impact of hedge accounting) divided by weighted average principal of debt outstanding during the same period. Non-traded peers represented by the non-traded peer average of 6.1% reflecting annualized Q2’26 all-in cost of debt for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, weighted by total NAV. All-in cost of debt calculated as interest expense divided by average debt principal outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026. BCRED’s gross annualized G&A expense ratio was 0.2% calculated as annualized gross G&A expenses incurred in Q2’26 divided by weighted average NAV for the quarter. Non-traded peers represented by the non-traded peer average of 0.3%. This is calculated based on annualized Q2’26 gross G&A expenses as a percentage of average NAV for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, weighted by total NAV. Gross G&A expenses exclude interest expense, management and incentive fees, excise and other tax expense, distribution costs, and the impact of expense support and recoupment, if any. BCRED gross G&A expenses include professional fees, Board of Trustees fees, administrative service expenses, organization costs, other general and administrative expenses, and amortization of continuous offering costs.

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.
As of September 30, 2026. Private investments represent Level 3 investments in the investment portfolio which may be quoted or non-quoted but for which inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to overall fair value measurement, divided by total investments excluding investment in joint ventures. BCRED’s average private debt position size is approximately 26bps as of September 30, 2026. Reflects average size of investments in private debt portfolio companies divided by total private debt investments, based on fair market value. The average size of investments in private debt portfolio companies as of September 30, 2026 is $179 million, based on fair market value.
As of September 30, 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.
Private credit market exhibited average LTM EBITDA of $104 million, based on issuer companies of loans in the Lincoln International Private Market Database as of June 30, 2026, which is the 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. © 2026 Lincoln Partners Advisors LLC. All rights reserved. Used with permission.

Represents LTM EBITDA Growth year-over-year where data is available and relevant. Includes all debt investments for which fair value is determined by the Board in conjunction with a third-party valuation firm and excludes both asset-based investments and quoted investments. BCRED amounts are weighted on fair market value of each respective investment. BCRED amounts were derived from portfolio company financial statements that are continuously received and may be updated; accordingly, growth figures may be based on prior period EBITDA amounts that were not available or, in the case of recently funded deals, not applicable in the prior period. Third-party figures (and corresponding BCRED amounts) 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. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a particular portfolio company, EBITDA is generally defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and amortization over the LTM. EBITDA growth year-over-year may reflect some inorganic growth due to mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

Average mark of debt investments adjusted for restructured investments is 94.6% as of September 30, 2026. This is based on the sum of a) the current fair value of BCRED’s debt investment portfolio (excluding equity investments and investments in joint ventures) and b) the current fair value of equity investments received as part of a restructure, divided by the sum of i) the current outstanding par value of BCRED’s debt investment portfolio (excluding equity investments and investments in joint ventures) and ii) the par value of debt investments extinguished in connection with the restructure of investments over the life of BCRED. Average mark based on BCRED’s debt investment portfolio (excluding equity investments and investments in joint ventures), without adjusting for restructured investments, calculated as the total fair value of debt investments divided by total current outstanding par value, is 95.8% as of September 30, 2026.

As of September 30, 2026. Debt-to-equity ratio represents the ratio of total principal of outstanding debt to net assets.
As of November 2, 2026. BCRED has an investment grade credit rating of BBB (high) / stable outlook from DBRS Morningstar, provided on December 1, 2023, and an investment grade credit rating of Baa2 / stable from Moody’s, provided on September 23, 2024, and an investment grade credit rating of BBB- / stable from S&P, provided on October 16, 2026. The majority of the underlying private credit loans within BCRED are not rated. Credit ratings are statements of opinions and are not statements of fact or recommendations to purchase, hold or sell securities. Blackstone provides compensation directly to DBRS Morningstar, Moody’s and S&P for its evaluation of BCRED. Credit ratings do not address the suitability of securities or the suitability of securities for investment purposes and should not be relied on as investment advice.
Represents the average three-year discount margin for investment opportunities classified by Blackstone Credit & Insurance as North America Direct Lending, calculated as notional spread plus OID amortized over a three-year assumed life. This is calculated based on potential Blackstone Credit & Insurance investment opportunities classified as North America Direct Lending with spreads at or above 450bps. Pipeline includes potential Blackstone Credit & Insurance investment opportunities classified by Blackstone Credit & Insurance as North America Direct Lending regardless of size and includes both potential new investments and follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies. The pipeline includes potential investments in which BCRED may not or will not participate. Blackstone Credit & Insurance advises many investment funds who are expected to participate alongside BCRED in pipeline investments in which BCRED participates. Certain investments in the pipeline may be inactive. Pipeline investments of a certain size reflect the entire transaction size, and Blackstone Credit & Insurance expects third parties to participate in a substantial portion of such investments. There is no guarantee that any or all of these potential investments listed in the pipeline will be consummated or, if consummated, that BCRED or any other Blackstone Credit & Insurance fund will participate in the investment.
As a percentage of BCRED’s private debt investments in new portfolio companies funded from July 1, 2026 to September 30, 2026 (excluding add-ons and incremental loans to existing portfolio companies, and structured finance obligations) for which fair value is determined by the Board of Trustees in conjunction with a third-party valuation firm and excludes both asset-based investments and quoted investments. Private debt investments in new portfolio companies reflected approximately 9% of BCRED’s deployment during the quarter.
AUM is estimated and unaudited as of September 30, 2026. The AUM for Blackstone, Blackstone Credit & Insurance or any specific fund, account or investment strategy presented in this Presentation may differ from any comparable AUM disclosure in other non-public or public sources (including public regulatory filings) due to, among other factors, methods of net asset value and capital commitment reporting, differences in categorizing certain funds and accounts within specific investment strategies and exclusion of certain funds and accounts, or any part of net asset value or capital commitment thereof, from the related AUM calculations. Certain of these differences are in some cases required by applicable regulation. All figures are subject to change. AUM is a combined figure inclusive of Blackstone Credit & Insurance “BXCI” and Real Estate Debt businesses.
Represents BXCI’s average annualized loss rate for its North America Direct Lending strategy from 2006 through September 30, 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.
Reflects issuers and sponsors across all asset types within Private Corporate Credit, Liquid Corporate Credit, and Infrastructure & Asset Based Credit.
As of September 30, 2026, as assessed through the date of this material. Calculated as the amortized cost or fair value of loans on non-accrual divided by total amortized cost or fair value of the BCRED investment portfolio excluding investments in joint ventures. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt whether principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. If a loan on non-accrual status is extinguished in a restructuring, management will determine, in its judgment, the accrual status of the new loan received in the restructuring.
