Material Agreement, Financial Obligation (Form 8-K)

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

7.600% Notes Due 2031

On October 8, 2026, Bain Capital Private Credit (the "Company") and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the "Trustee"), entered into an Indenture, dated October 8, 2026, between the Company and the Trustee (the "Base Indenture") and a First Supplemental Indenture, dated October 8, 2026, between the Company and the Trustee (the "First Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"). The First Supplemental Indenture relates to the Company's issuance, offer and sale of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.600% notes due 2031 (the "Notes").

The Notes will mature on October 8, 2031, and may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company's option at any time at the redemption price set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.600% per year payable semiannually on April 8 and October 8 of each year, commencing on April 8, 2027. The Notes are direct unsecured obligations of the Company.

The Company expects to use proceeds from this offering for the general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries and/or to repay indebtedness, including under certain of the Company's revolving credit facilities. The Company also may make investments in existing and new portfolio companies in accordance with its investment objectives with proceeds of subsequent borrowings under its existing financing arrangements and also may use the proceeds from any such subsequent borrowings for general corporate purposes.

The Indenture contains certain covenants including covenants requiring the Company to comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor provisions, as such obligation may be amended or superseded but giving effect to any exemptive relief granted to the Company by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and to provide financial information to the holders of the Notes and the Trustee if the Company should no longer be subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event (which involves the occurrence of both a change of control and a below investment grade rating of the Notes by Fitch Ratings, Inc. and Moody's Investor Services, Inc.), the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase.

The Notes were sold to several initial purchasers (the "Initial Purchasers") in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and for the initial resale by the Initial Purchasers to (i) qualified institutional buyers in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144A thereunder or (ii) certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The transaction closed on October 8, 2026.

An affiliate of the Trustee also serves as the Company's custodian under the terms of a custody agreement, pursuant to which it receives customary fees and expenses as custodian.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 8, 2026 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), with BNP Paribas Securities Corp., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., as the representatives of the Initial Purchasers. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offer to exchange the Notes for new notes issued by the Company that are registered under the Securities Act and otherwise have terms substantially identical to those of the Notes (except for provisions relating to transfer restrictions and payment of additional interest) and to use its commercially reasonable

efforts to consummate such exchange offer on the earliest practicable date after the registration statement has been declared effective but in no event later than 365 days after the initial issuance of the Notes. Alternatively, in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company may consummate such exchange offer through use of an existing registration statement, if any. If the Company fails to satisfy its registration obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, it will be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the Notes.

The foregoing descriptions of the Base Indenture, First Supplemental Indenture, Registration Rights Agreement and Notes do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture, First Supplemental Indenture, Registration Rights Agreement and Notes, respectively, each filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
