Management Commentary

Ted Goldthorpe, CEO of BCIC, emphasized 2025 as a transformational year, driven by the merger, rebranding, and capital management strategies. The merger with LRFC has strengthened the platform, expanded scale, and diversified the portfolio. Rebranding aligns BCIC with BC Partners Credit Platform, reflecting a long-term vision. The extension and laddering of debt maturities, along with new issuances and redemptions, have improved financial flexibility. The Board’s approval of monthly distribution payments starting April 2026 is expected to better align with shareholder interests, while the renewed stock repurchase program underscores BCIC’s commitment to shareholder value.

Looking ahead, Goldthorpe noted the persistence of macroeconomic headwinds but expressed optimism about compelling opportunities in M&A and the current pipeline. BCIC aims to maintain disciplined capital allocation, strong underwriting, and generate sustainable, risk-adjusted returns for shareholders.

Potential Share Price Sensitivity & Investor Considerations

• Merger with LRFC: Significant increase in scale, diversification, and efficiency may drive future earnings growth and long-term value creation.
• Transition to Monthly Distributions: May appeal to income-focused investors, potentially enhancing share demand and price stability.
• Share Repurchase Program: Renewed \$10 million buyback is NAV-accretive, showing confidence in valuation and returning capital to shareholders.
• Debt Profile and Ratings: Extension and laddering of debt maturities, new issuances, and improved credit rating strengthen balance sheet and financial flexibility.
• Increase in Non-Accrual Investments: Rise from 1.7% to 4.0% of portfolio at fair value could raise concerns about asset quality, but overall yield remains robust.
• Interest Rate Sensitivity: High proportion of floating rate assets could benefit from rising rates, but also exposes BCIC to potential downside if rates fall.
• Decline in NAV Per Share: NAV per share dropped to \$16.68 from \$19.41 in 2024, affected by realized losses and increased non-accruals, which may weigh on share price unless offset by buybacks and improved operating performance.
