On January 24, 2023, the Board of Trustees of Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund (the “Fund”) declared a regular distribution on the Fund’s outstanding common shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) in the amount per share set forth below:


	Gross Distribution		Shareholder Servicing and/or Distribution Fee		Net Distributions
Class I Common Shares	$	0.1900	$	0.0000	$	0.1900
Class S Common Shares	$	0.1900	$	0.0165	$	0.1735

The regular distribution is payable to shareholders of record as of January 31, 2023 and will be paid on or about February 24, 2023. The distribution will be paid in cash and, in the case of shareholders participating in the Fund’s distribution reinvestment plan, reinvested in Shares.

As previously announced, the Fund intends to report its net asset value per share as of the last day of each month on its website, www.osc.brookfieldoaktree.com, within 20 business days of month end. At such time, the Fund may also make available on its website other financial information as of the applicable month-end. The information on the Fund’s website is not a part of, or incorporated by reference in, this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information disclosed under this Item 7.01 is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” by the Fund for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Net Asset Value and Portfolio Update

The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Fund as of December 31, 2022, as determined on January 24, 2023 in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policy, is set forth below.


	NAV per share as of December 31, 2022
Class I Common Shares	$	23.23
Class S Common Shares	$	23.23

As of December 31, 2022, the Fund’s aggregate NAV was $493.5 million, the fair value of its investment portfolio was $662.2 million and it had $170.0 million principal amount of debt outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, the Fund’s debt-to-equity leverage ratio was approximately 0.34 times. NAV per share decreased from $23.46 per share as of November 30, 2022 to $23.23 per share as of December 31, 2022. The decrease was due to unrealized depreciation primarily as a result of price decreases on the Fund’s public debt investments, as well as the $0.04 per share special distribution payable to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2022.

Status of Offering

The Fund is currently publicly offering on a continuous basis up to $5.0 billion in Shares (the “Offering”). Additionally, the Fund has sold unregistered Class I Shares in transactions exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation S thereunder as part of a private offering (the “Private Offering”). The following tables list the Shares issued and total consideration for the Private Offering and the Offering, in each case, as of the date of this filing. The Fund intends to continue selling Shares in the Offering and the Private Offering on a monthly basis.


	Common Shares Issued		Total Consideration
