Annual Report for Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2025 (Form 10-K)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (dollar amounts in thousands, except per unit amounts, unless otherwise indicated)

The discussion and analysis contained in this section refers to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K, "Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K, "Risk Factors." Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking information due to factors discussed under "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

We are a non-diversified, externally managed specialty finance company focused on lending to middle-market companies. We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. In addition, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated, and intend to comply with the requirements to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. We are classified as a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, which means that we are not limited by the 1940 Act with respect to the proportion of our assets that we may invest in securities of a single issuer. We are externally managed by our Adviser, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.

Our investment objective is to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns via current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by investing primarily in directly originated senior secured term loans issued by U.S. middle-market companies in which private equity sponsors have a controlling equity stake in the portfolio company. For purposes of this Report, "middle-market companies" refers to companies that, in general, generate annual EBITDA in the range of approximately $15 million to $200 million, although not all of our portfolio companies will meet this criterion.

We invest primarily in directly originated senior secured term loans, including first lien senior secured term loans (including unitranche loans) and, to a lesser extent, second lien senior secured term loans, with the balance of our investments expected to be in higher-yielding assets such as mezzanine debt, unsecured debt, equity investments and other opportunistic asset purchases. Under normal market circumstances, we expect that investments other than first lien senior secured term loans would not exceed 10% of our gross assets at the time of acquisition of any such investments. Typical middle-market senior loans may be issued by middle-market companies in the context of LBOs, acquisitions, debt refinancings, recapitalizations, and other similar transactions. We generally expect our debt investments to have a stated term of five to eight years and typically bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark (such as SOFR).

We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest income from investments we hold. In addition, we generate income from dividends or distributions of income on any direct equity investments, capital gains on the sale of loans and equity investments and various other loan origination and other fees, including commitment, origination, amendment, structuring, syndication or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Pursuant to the Order, we are able to enter into certain negotiated co-investment transactions alongside certain Regulated Funds and Affiliated Entities (as defined in the Order), in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies, and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors, subject to compliance with the Order. The Order contains certain conditions and requires the Board to maintain oversight of our participation in the co-investment program. The Order also requires a "required majority" (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our eligible directors to make certain conclusions pursuant to Section 57(f) of the 1940 Act in connection with certain co-investment transactions, including co-investment transactions in which an affiliate of ours is an existing investor in the portfolio company, non-pro rata follow on investments and non-pro rata dispositions of investments.

KEY COMPONENTS OF OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Investments

Our level of investment activity can and does vary substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt available to middle-market companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the type of investments we make.

Revenue

We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest income on debt investments we hold. In addition, we generate income from dividends or distributions of income on direct equity investments, capital gains on the sales of loans and equity securities and various loan origination and other fees. Our debt investments generally have a stated term of five to eight years and typically bear interest at a floating rate usually determined on the basis of a benchmark such as SOFR. Interest on these debt investments is generally paid quarterly. In some instances, we receive payments on our debt investments based on scheduled amortization of the outstanding balances. In addition, we may receive repayments of some of our debt investments prior to their scheduled maturity date. The frequency or volume of these repayments fluctuates significantly from period to

period. Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds of sales of securities. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, amendment, structuring, syndication or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and consulting fees.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of: (i) investment advisory fees, including base management fees, to our Investment Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement; (ii) costs and other expenses and our allocable portion of certain expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement between us and the Administrator; and (iii) other operating expenses as detailed below:

initial organization costs and offering costs incurred prior to the filing of our election to be regulated as a BDC (subject to the expense waiver);
costs associated with our initial private offering;
costs of any other offerings of our Units, Preferred Units and other securities, if any;
calculating individual asset values and our net asset value (including the cost and expenses of any third-party valuation services);
out of pocket expenses, including travel, entertainment, lodging, and meal expenses, incurred by the Investment Adviser, or members of its investment team or payable to third parties, in evaluating, developing, negotiating, structuring and performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies (including, without limitation, any reverse termination fees and any liquidated damage and any costs related to broken deals) and monitoring actual portfolio companies and, if necessary, enforcing our rights;
base management fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement;
certain costs and expenses relating to distributions paid by us;
administration fees payable under the Administration Agreement and any sub-administration agreements, including related expenses;
arrangement, debt service and other costs of borrowings, senior securities or other financing arrangements;
the allocated costs incurred by the Investment Adviser in providing managerial assistance to those portfolio companies that request it;
amounts payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, making or holding investments;
the costs associated with subscriptions to data service, research-related subscriptions and expenses and quotation equipment and services used in making or holding investments;
transfer agent and custodial fees;
costs of derivatives and hedging;
commissions and other compensation payable to brokers or dealers;
any fees payable to rating agencies;

U.S. federal, state and local taxes, including any excise taxes;
independent director fees and expenses;
costs of preparing consolidated financial statements and maintaining books and records, costs of preparing tax returns, costs of Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance and attestation and costs of filing reports or other documents with the SEC (or other regulatory bodies), and other reporting and compliance costs, including registration fees, and the compensation of professionals responsible for the preparation or review of the foregoing;
the costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to our unitholders (including printing and mailing costs), the costs of any unitholders' meetings, and costs and expenses of preparation for the foregoing and related matters;
the costs of specialty and custom software for monitoring risk, compliance and overall investments;
fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;
any fidelity bond required by applicable law;
any necessary insurance premiums;
any extraordinary expenses (such as litigation or indemnification payments or amounts payable pursuant to any agreement to provide indemnification entered into by us);
direct fees and expenses associated with independent audits, agency, consulting and legal costs;
cost of winding up; and
all other expenses incurred by either the Administrator or us in connection with administering our business.

We reimburse the Administrator or its affiliates for amounts paid or costs borne that properly constitute Company expenses as set forth in the Administration Agreement or otherwise, which expenses are ultimately borne by our unitholders. We expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable or to decline as a percentage of total assets during periods of asset growth and to increase during periods of asset declines.

(1)
Calculated as a percentage of gross debt commitments (funded and unfunded). Weighted average EBITDA, net leverage through the tranche in which the Company is a lender, weighted average interest coverage and weighted average loan to value exclude recurring revenue investments, which are investments in portfolio companies to which the Company lends based on a multiple of recurring revenue generated by the portfolio company and not based on a multiple of EBITDA.
(2)
Amounts were derived from investment due diligence information provided by the portfolio company. Such amounts have not been independently estimated by us, and accordingly, we take no responsibility for such numbers and make no representation or warranty in respect of this information.
(3)
Computed as (a) the annual stated spread, plus applicable reference rate, as applicable, plus the annual accretion of discounts, as applicable, on accruing debt securities, divided by (b) total debt investments (at fair value or cost, as applicable) included in such securities. Actual yields earned over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented herein.
(4)
Computed as (a) the annual stated spread, plus reference rate, as applicable, plus the annual accretion of discounts, as applicable on all investments of the Company divided by (b) total investments (at fair value or cost, as applicable) included in such securities. Actual yields earned over the life of each investment could differ materially from the yields presented herein.
(5)
Net leverage is calculated as the ratio of total debt minus cash divided by EBITDA and taking into account leverage through the tranche in which the Company is a lender, excluding recurring revenue investments.
(6)
Interest coverage for a particular portfolio company is calculated by taking credit agreement EBITDA and dividing by annualized latest reported interest expense. Total interest coverage is calculated on a weighted average basis based on total gross debt commitments (funded and unfunded). Calculation excludes recurring revenue deals which are investments in portfolio companies to which the Company lends based on a multiple of recurring revenue generated by the portfolio company and not based on a multiple of EBITDA. Portfolio company statistics are derived from the most recently available financial statements of each portfolio company as of the reported end date. Statistics of the portfolio companies have not been independently verified by us and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount.
(7)
Calculated using total outstanding debt through the tranche in which the Company is a lender divided by total enterprise value from the private equity sponsor or market comparables.

Investment Performance Rating

As part of the monitoring process, our Investment Adviser has developed risk policies pursuant to which it regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our debt investments. Our Investment Adviser has developed a classification system to group investments into four categories. The investments are evaluated regularly and assigned a category based on certain credit metrics. Our Investment Adviser's ratings do not constitute any rating of investments by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or represent or reflect any third-party assessment of any of our investments. Please see below for a description of the four categories of the Investment Adviser's Internal Risk Rating system:

Risk Rating 1 - In the opinion of our Investment Adviser, investments in Risk Rating 1 involve the least amount of risk relative to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. Risk Rating 1 investments performance is above our initial underwriting expectations and the business trends and risk factors present are generally favorable, which trends or factors may include the performance of the portfolio company or the likelihood of a potential exit.

Risk Rating 2 - In the opinion of our Investment Adviser, investments in Risk Rating 2 involve a level of risk relative to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. Risk Rating 2 investments are generally performing in line with our initial underwriting expectations and risk factors to ultimately recoup the cost of our principal investment are neutral to favorable. All new originated or acquired investments are initially included in Risk Rating 2.

Risk Rating 3 - In the opinion of our Investment Adviser, investments in Risk Rating 3 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition has increased materially since the origination or acquisition of the investment, such as due to declining financial performance and non-compliance with debt covenants; however, principal and interest payments are not more than 120 days past due.

Risk Rating 4 - In the opinion of our Investment Adviser, investments in Risk Rating 4 involve a borrower performing substantially below expectations and indicate that the loan's risk has increased substantially since origination or acquisition. Most or all of the debt covenants are out

of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For Risk Rating 4 investments, it is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition upon exit.

The distribution of our portfolio on the Investment Adviser's Internal Risk Rating System is as follows:

Investments are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is reversed when an investment 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 investment is placed on non-accrual status. We may determine to not place an investment on non-accrual status if the investment has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We generate cash from the net proceeds of offerings of our Common Units, net borrowings from our credit facility, and through cash flows from operations, including investment sales and repayments as well as income earned from on investments and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, we had one revolving credit facility outstanding, as described in "-Debt"below. We may also from time to time enter into new credit facilities, increase the size of existing credit facilities or issue debt securities. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors.

As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $22.8 million of cash, which taken together with our approximately $314.5 million of availability under the UBS Facility (subject to borrowing base availability), (as defined in "Note 6. Debt" in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements), and our approximately $434.6 million of uncalled capital commitments to purchase Units, or capital commitments, we expect to be sufficient for our investing activities and sufficient to conduct our operations in the near term. As of December 31, 2025, we believed we had adequate financial resources to satisfy unfunded portfolio company commitments of $191.4 million.

Equity

As of December 31, 2025, we had received aggregate capital commitments of approximately $745.9 million.

The following table summarizes the total Common Units issued and proceeds received from the Company's capital drawdowns for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from May 9, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024:

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

January Tender Declarations

On December 31, 2025, we announced a tender offer that commenced on January 2, 2026 and ended at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on January 31,

2026 (the "Offer") to repurchase up to 2,575,000 of our outstanding Units. Because there is no secondary trading market for our Units, the Board of Directors determined, after consideration of various matters, that the Offer was in the best interests of unitholders in order to provide liquidity for our unitholders. Approximately 2,567,661 of our Units were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer. The Units were repurchased at a price of $20.28 per Unit, which represents the net asset value per Unit as of January 31, 2026.

The payment of the purchase price of the Units tendered was promptly made in cash issued to the unitholders whose tenders were accepted for purchase by us in accordance with the terms of the Offer. While our Board has discretion to offer to repurchase units in any given quarter, we do not currently expect to make regular tender offers on a quarterly basis, if at all.

February Issuances and Distribution Declarations

On February 10, 2026, we delivered a capital drawdown notice to our unitholders relating to the sale of approximately 3,654,035 shares of our Units for an aggregate offering price of $74.25 million. The sale closed on February 18, 2026.

On February 26, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a distribution equal to an amount up to the our taxable earnings per Common Unit, including net investment income (if positive) for the period January 1, 2026 through March 31, 2026, payable on or about April 30, 2026 to common unitholders of record as of March 31, 2026.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Our critical accounting estimates including those relating to the valuation of our investment portfolio, should be read in connection with our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Report, including Note 2 "Significant Accounting Policies."

We consider the most significant accounting policies to be those related to our Investments, Revenue Recognition, Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Issuance Costs and Income Taxes. The valuation of investments is our most significant critical estimate. The most significant input is the discount rate used in yield analysis that is based on comparable market yields. Significant increases in the discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. For further discussion and disclosure of key inputs and considerations related to this estimate, refer to Note 5 "Fair Value Measurements" included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following (which are defined in the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements if not defined herein):

the Investment Advisory Agreement;
the Administration Agreement; and
the Indemnification Agreement.

See Note 3. "Related Party Transactions" to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
