Rowe Price OHA Select Private Credit Fund (the "Company" or "OCREDIT") today announced financial results and declared total distributions of $0.84 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. In addition to the regular monthly distribution, this quarter's distribution also included a special quarterly distribution of $0.15 per share, representing the fourth consecutive quarter of special distributions.

OCREDIT is well diversified across 22 unique sectors with exposure to 103 portfolio companies, and a portfolio yield of 11.6%. "We are satisfied with the overall construct and health of the portfolio and its ability to generate income in an environment where investors are increasingly focused on yield", said Eric Muller, OCREDIT's Chief Executive Officer.

Additionally, OCREDIT continues to expand and diversify its borrowing facilities to ensure they are sized appropriately and to ensure appropriate terms and conditions. "Subsequent to quarter-end, in October, OCREDIT continued to demonstrate its access to debt capital by upsizing its JPM Credit Facility to $665 million from $475 million, representing an increase of $190 million. Additionally, we negotiated a reduction in the cost of the BNP Credit Facility to S+225 from S+3001", said Gerard Waldt, OCREDIT's Chief Financial Officer. "We are pleased with both the upsize and repricing, as it highlights our banking relationships across multiple lenders and provides us the necessary capacity for our capital pipeline as we head into year end and 2025."

OCREDIT is a non-exchange traded business development company ("BDC") that expects to invest at least 80% of its total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in private credit investments. An investment in OCREDIT involves a high degree of risk. An investor should purchase securities of OCREDIT only if they can afford the complete loss of the investment.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Securities regulators have also not passed upon whether this offering can be sold in compliance with existing or future suitability or Regulation Best Interest standard to any or all purchasers.

As of March 26, 2024, OCREDIT is available in 54 states and territories.

As of March 26, 2024, OCREDIT is not registered for offer or sale outside of the United States.

BDCs may charge management fees, incentive fees, as well as other fees associated with servicing loans. These fees will detract from the total return.

OCREDIT may in certain circumstances invest in companies experiencing distress increasing the risk of default or failure. OCREDIT is not listed on an exchange which heightens liquidity risk for an investor. OCREDIT has limited prior operating history and there is no assurance that it will achieve its investment objectives. The Company's public offering is a "blind pool" offering and thus investors will not have the opportunity to evaluate the Company's investments before they are made. Investors should not expect to be able to sell shares regardless of performance and should consider that they may not have access to the money invested for an extended period of time and may be unable to reduce their exposure in a market downturn.

OCREDIT employs leverage, which increases the volatility of OCREDIT's investments and will magnify the potential for loss. Fixed-income securities are subject to credit risk, call risk, and interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Investments in high-yield bonds involve greater risk. International investments can be riskier than U.S. investments and subject to foreign exchange risk.

OCREDIT is "non-diversified," meaning it may invest a greater portion of its assets in a single company. OCREDIT's share price can be expected to fluctuate more than that of a comparable diversified fund. OCREDIT may invest in derivatives, which may be riskier or more volatile than other types of investments because they are generally more sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions.

Account opening and closing fees may apply depending on the amount invested and the timing of the account closure. There may be costs associated with the investments in the account such as periodic management fees, incentive fees, loads, other expenses or brokerage commissions. Fees for optional services may also apply.
