Such discussions and other actions may relate to, subject to the terms and conditions of the documents described herein to which the Reporting Persons are a party, various alternative courses of action, including, without limitation, those related to an extraordinary corporate transaction (including, but not limited to a merger, reorganization or liquidation) involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; business combinations involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; material asset purchases; the formation of joint ventures with the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or the entry into other material projects; changes in the present business, operations, strategy, future plans or prospects of the Issuer, financial or governance matters; changes to the Board (including Board composition) or management of the Issuer; acting as a participant in debt financings of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, dividend policy, business or corporate structure or governance documents of the Issuer; de-listing or de-registration of the Issuer’s securities, or any action similar to those enumerated above.

Any transaction that any of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates may pursue, subject to the terms and conditions of the documents described herein to which the Reporting Persons are a party, may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of the Issuer’s securities or other financial instruments, the Reporting Persons’ or such affiliates’ trading and investment strategies, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and the Issuer’s prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to such Reporting Persons and their affiliates, general industry and economic conditions, the securities markets in general, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by such Reporting Persons and such affiliates.

As of the date hereof, GP I directly owns all 4,000,000 issued and outstanding Class I Common Shares representing 100% of the total amount of Class I Common Shares and has the sole power to vote and dispose of such shares.

Capital I, in its capacity as the general partner of GP I, has the ability to direct the management of GP I’s business, including the power to direct the decisions of GP I regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by GP I; therefore, Capital I may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Class I Common Shares held by GP I.

Holdings, in its capacity as the managing member of Holdings I, has the ability to direct the management of Holding I’s business, including the power to direct the decisions of Holdings I regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by GP I; therefore, Holdings may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Class I Common Shares held by GP I.

OCGH GP, in its capacity as the indirect owner of the class B units of OCG, has the ability to appoint and remove certain directors of OCG and, as such, may indirectly control the decisions of OCG regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by GP I; therefore, OCGH GP may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Class I Common Shares held by GP I.

BAM, in its capacity as the indirect owner of the class A units of OCG, has the ability to appoint and remove certain directors of OCG and, as such, may indirectly control the decisions of OCG regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by GP I; therefore BAM may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Class I Common Shares held by GP I.

BAM Partnership, in its capacity as the sole owner of Class B Limited Voting Shares of BAM, has the ability to appoint and remove certain directors of BAM and, as such, may indirectly control the decisions of BAM regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by GP I; therefore BAM Partnership may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Class I Common Shares held by GP I.

With respect to the Class I Common Shares reported herein, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power or the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of the number of Class I Common Shares which such Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own as set forth above.

To the actual knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Covered Persons directly owns any Class I Common Shares, other than GP I; provided, however, that because of each Covered Person’s status as an investment manager, manager, general partner, director, executive officer or member of a Reporting Person, a Covered Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of Class I Common Shares beneficially owned by such Reporting Person. Each of the Covered Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class I Common Shares reported herein, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such Covered Person is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement, other than GP I for its directly held Class I Common Shares.

Each of the Reporting Persons entered in an agreement (the “Joint Filing Agreement”) in which the parties agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them statements on Schedule 13D with respect to securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law. The Joint Filing Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

The foregoing description of the Joint Filing Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Joint Filing Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in Items 4 and 5 is incorporated by reference herein, as applicable.

Advisory Agreement

The Issuer and Adviser entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2022 (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the Issuer upon 60 days’ written notice or by the Adviser upon 120 days’ written notice. As compensation for its services provided pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Issuer pays the Adviser a fee for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components: a management fee and an incentive fee:

(i) Management Fee:

The management fee is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the value of the Issuer’s net assets as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the applicable month, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Adviser has agreed to waive its management fee until the date that is six months following the date on which the Issuer breaks escrow for its public offering.

(ii) Incentive Fee:

The incentive fee will consist of two components as follows:

(a) The first part of the incentive fee is based on income, whereby the Issuer will pay the Adviser quarterly in arrears 12.5% of the Issuer’s Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income (as defined in the Investment Advisory Agreement) for each calendar quarter subject to a 5.0% annualized hurdle rate, with a catch-up, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Adviser has agreed to waive its incentive fee based on income until the date that is six months following the date on which the Issuer breaks escrow for its public offering.

(b) The second part of the incentive is based on realized capital gains, whereby the Issuer will pay the Adviser at the end of each calendar year in arrears 12.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from inception through the end of such calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid incentive fee on capital gains.

The foregoing description of the Investment Advisory Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
