Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation (OCSL) entered into a Ninth Supplemental Indenture with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to issue, offer and sell $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.000% Notes due 2031. The transaction closed on September 16, 2026, and the Notes mature on September 16, 2031, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased.

Before August 16, 2031, OCSL may redeem the Notes at a make-whole price; on or after that Par Call Date, they are redeemable at 100% of principal plus interest. Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event, holders can require OCSL to repurchase the Notes at 100% of principal plus accrued interest. OCSL expects to use net proceeds mainly to reduce outstanding borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
